Chapter 216: Do you understand the principle of first come, first served?

In a brief moment.

Li Jiaci's eyes turned extremely red.

He stepped back a few paces toward the door, his fists clenched so tightly they crackled.

"Liu Team, the rest is up to you!"

"If I stay any longer, I can't guarantee what I might do!"

Upon hearing that,

Liu Yanxi nodded.

"Leave it to me, you can relax!"

With those words, Li Jiaci burst out the door immediately.

Then a thud came from outside the door.

Immediately followed by a second, third, …

Li Jiaci hammered the wall with all his strength, leaving a trail of frightening bloody marks on the wall from the back of his hand.

Meanwhile, in the interrogation room,

Li Qinglan closed her eyes in regret, silently listening to each thud that struck the heart.

"I was wrong, I really…… was wrong!"

Tears burst forth.

But as Li Jiaci said,

People are dead now; what good does apologizing do?

Can it bring the dead back to life?

Impossible!

Liu Yanxi looked at her and shook her head.

Then she turned and walked toward Lin Niansheng.

At this moment, Lin Niansheng no longer had his former arrogant aura.

He was like a deflated balloon, head lowered, silent.

Liu Yanxi asked in an icy tone: "Do you have any objection to the facts as presented by the witness?"

"Hah..."

"Pointless!"

Lin Niansheng voluntarily raised his hands.

He now had nothing left to say in his defense and could not exonerate himself.

Since Li Jiaci could find Chen Wu,

then he could certainly also find Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Er and other informants hiding in various gangs.

How many times must he deny it before it's over?

Liu Yanxi took out handcuffs, put them on him, and said: "If I had known this would happen, why bother in the first place!"

"I just wanted to climb up; what's wrong with that?"

"You're still young; wait a few years and see!"

"Maybe you'll do even worse than I did!"

Lin Niansheng smiled weakly.

His eyes were full of fatigue.

He was truly tired.

Over these years, these matters.

He could no longer bear them.

Liu Yanxi gave him a cold glance.

"I could never become someone like you!"

"With such a fine example as you before us, I see who would dare to retrace your wrong path!"

Outside the interrogation room,

Many people had already been waiting.

When Liu Yanxi escorted Lin Niansheng out,

Applause rose before them, uplifting and inspiring.

Zhao Dezheng stood behind the crowd, his expression resolute as he watched all this, a flash of relief crossing his eyes.

If it weren't for Liu Yanxi's repeated insistence,

he might never have mustered the courage to face the bureau's problems head-on and actively cooperate in correcting them.

Lin Niansheng's steps were slow.

Looking at the familiar faces before him.

He couldn't help but sneer: "What's the difference between you and me?"

As soon as he said that,

Someone immediately rushed forward, lifted Lin Niansheng's handcuffs, and showed them to everyone.

"There are many ways we differ!"

"Our hands aren't cuffed!"

As the saying goes, one call brings a hundred responses.

Lin Niansheng's former subordinates stepped forward one by one.

Master, if you ever go to prison and someone bullies you, just mention my name—though it won't help at all, it can still give you courage.

Hahaha, he screwed us over so badly that even if he got beaten to death, it wouldn't be unjust.

Lin Niansheng has become a big shot now—his fame spreads across the land, bigger than any star; he'll definitely have plenty of fans even in prison!

Yeah, when fans see their idol, they get excited and might punch or kick him— that's understandable!

Lin Niansheng, don't be petty later—file a complaint with the prison guards and cause trouble for your fellow unit!

……

These people chatted back and forth.

This made Lin Niansheng's already miserable situation even more desperate.

Once he's in prison, he definitely won't have a good ending.

Not to mention, his affair has blown up across Huaguo to the point that everyone knows about it.

Even the victims he framed over the years will certainly not let him get off easy.

This kind of worse-than-death experience will become an inescapable karmic retribution for the rest of his life.

Liu Yanxi urged, "Come on, let's go!"

Lin Niansheng gave a weary smile.

He followed her with heavy steps toward the detention room.

Thus, the Police Bureau took the lead.

They rushed to occupy the headline sections of all major newspapers in Pingzhou.

Amid the media's wall-to-wall coverage, the Anti-Corruption Bureau looked rather laughable.

The next morning.

Zhou Wanting then went to the Police Bureau.

Before she even entered, she heard a din coming from inside.

Numerous media outlets packed the Police Bureau lobby to capacity.

Flashbulbs kept flashing on Zhao Dezheng's face as he happily accepted interviews from media reporters.

This honor should have belonged to the Anti-Corruption Bureau!

Zhou Wanting seethed.

Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed past her vision.

That person wasn't……

Li Jiaci!

They're actually in cahoots!

Relying on ideas from the Anti-Corruption Bureau, they helped the Police Bureau earn merit!

Zhou Wanting turned away, arms crossed, trying to quell her anger.

Her proud figure attracted the onlookers gawking at the scene.

But she herself didn't think so.

She unbuttoned her collar and let out a heavy sigh.

A moment later.

The media reporters on site withdrew like a receding tide.

Zhou Wanting immediately strode in on her high heels, eyes blazing with fury, aura like a rainbow.

Li Jiaci!

Come out here!

Li Jiaci was giving Li Qinglan a final explanation.

Hearing that unfriendly voice, he glanced back in surprise.

"Deputy Section Chief Zhou? You're looking for me?"

Zhou Wanting stepped forward, about to question him, but was cut off by the sudden appearance of Liu Yanxi.

"How did people from the Anti-Corruption Bureau end up here?"

Liu Yanxi stepped in front of Li Jiaci, eyed Zhou Wanting suspiciously, and asked coldly.

Upon hearing that, Zhou Wanting first crossed her arms and snorted, then pointed at the two and asked, "Are your fellow unit's colleagues all this undisciplined? Don't you know what 'first come, first served' means?"

Those around glanced over curiously.

Li Jiaci looked around, then whispered a few words to Liu Yanxi.

Liu Yanxi immediately squeezed out a smile.

He gestured for her to follow, saying, "There might be a misunderstanding—let's go to the office to talk."

"I have nothing to say to you!"

Zhou Wanting waved her hand impatiently.

Li Jiaci thought, "Oh no, this woman's coming after me alone!"

He quickly gave an awkward chuckle.

Heh…

"Deputy Section Chief Zhou, go in with the Liu Team first!"

"I'll take care of things here, then come find you right away!"

Zhou Wanting's proud chest heaved violently.

She pointed at Li Jiaci's nose and threatened, "Fine, if you don't show up later, I'll go straight to your company and block you!"

"I'll definitely go, I'll definitely go!"

Li Jiaci said with a smile.

Just as the two had left.

He then asked, puzzled: "This isn't some brother unit; it's clearly a rival!"

"Jiaci, she won't make things difficult for you, will she?"

Li Qinglan looked at him, somewhat worried, and asked.
