Hou Liangdong was enraged. He was the head of the Huhai Imperial Court. Was he someone they could see whenever they wanted to?!
What's more, it happened while he was resting. This was simply ruining his mood! He rushed downstairs angrily and rushed to the lobby of the police station.
"Who? Who wants to see me?! Who dares to see me?! " Hou Liangdong had a cigar in his mouth, and his face was filled with anger. His head was held high, and it was an innate sense of nobility that came with being at the top!
All the staff present felt as if something bad was about to happen! Everyone sat quietly at their posts … No one dared to speak. This was not a scene that ordinary staff like them could interrupt … As the saying goes, it's better to avoid trouble …
Qin Prajna took a step forward. She stared at Hou Liangdong and asked coldly, "Are you the director?"
"How dare you! How dare you be so rude to me?! "Hou Liangdong was even angrier!
"Director, I'm here today to give you a piece of advice … You'd better release Chen He immediately." Qin Prajna's pretty face was very cold. Her words seemed to carry a hint of threat. She was the daughter of a wealthy family in Beijing. She had always been sexy and lively … She had never lost her temper like this … But today, this lively and sexy lady became so cold, as if she was a different person.
"This is outrageous! This is the police station! The Imperial Court! It's not a place where ordinary people like you can do whatever you want! Chen He is a felon. You can't release him just like that! You're suspected of obstructing public order! Arrest her! "Hou Liangdong's voice was extremely cold. He shouted directly! He must teach this hateful woman a lesson today!
The staff at the side suddenly became restless … The director gave the order personally … Should they do it … or not? They didn't know what to do! This was a difficult choice!
Right at this moment, Ceng Rui also took a step forward and slowly said, "Lord Chief, there's me too … I'm also clamoring to see you."
Hou Liangdong looked very angry at this moment. He glared at the woman in the white dress and shouted angrily, "Who are you?! How preposterous! Do you really think my Huhai City Public Security Bureau is a place where you can mess around whenever you want?! "
Ceng Rui bowed slightly and said in a magnetic voice, "Ceng Rui from the Zeng Family of Shanghai."
"What Zeng Family, Wang Family … I've never heard of them!" Hou Liangdong waved his hand and shouted, "Men, take down these two women who are causing trouble!"
As soon as Hou Liangdong said that, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. The scene was silent. Was it a little too quiet? Puzzled, he glanced around … His colleagues all had shocked expressions on their faces … as if something big had happened?
Hou Liangdong was even more astonished. What was going on?
Wait?!! Hou Liangdong came to a sudden realization! The Zeng family …? The Zeng family of Shanghai?!!
Hou Liangdong stared at the woman in the white dress, Ceng Rui, and his voice changed. "You … you are … the Zeng family of Shanghai?!"
Ceng Rui nodded lightly, her pretty face as calm as ever.
Boom! At this moment, Hou Liangdong's legs turned to jelly, and he almost fell to the ground!! The Zeng family! The Zeng family of Shanghai?! That was half the sky of Shanghai! That was the most powerful force in the entire Shanghai City!
"Miss Zeng … it's Miss Zeng! Miss Zeng has graced our Huhai City Public Security Bureau with your presence! Please forgive me, Miss Zeng! " Hou Liangdong's attitude took a 360-degree turn in the blink of an eye. His entire person instantly became extremely respectful and polite, even with a hint of eagerness!
All the staff were petrified, and all of them were dumbfounded. Damn it … the speed of Chief Boss's change of attitude … was too freaking fast!
Hou Liangdong was like a completely different person, extremely attentive, and no longer had the arrogance of a high and mighty chief! The person in front of him … was the young lady of the Zeng family! That was the most powerful force in Shanghai in the past … an existence that shook the sky of Shanghai! The Zeng family had been living in seclusion for decades … why did they suddenly come to his police station today?! This made Hou Liangdong's heart beat wildly!
"It's okay, Xiao Rui has always lived in seclusion … and never interfered with the outside world, so it's natural that Chief Hou doesn't know her," Ceng Rui said calmly, without the arrogance of a daughter of an aristocratic family.
Hou Liangdong smiled awkwardly, and asked nervously, "I wonder … why did Miss Zeng come to my police station today?"
Ceng Rui pursed her red lips and said in a magnetic voice, "Today, Xiao Rui is here to help my sister, Qin Prajna."
As Ceng Rui spoke, she gently held Qin Prajna's hand.
Qin Prajna gave Ceng Rui a grateful look … Xiao Rui was willing to stand up for her at this critical moment, which saved her a lot of trouble.
Seeing this scene, Hou Liangdong's expression suddenly became unnatural … From the looks of it … the situation … didn't seem too good?!
"This … Miss Zeng … if there's something I can help with … I'll naturally help … but if there's something I can't help with … I'm afraid …" Hou Liangdong felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly threw out the words so that he could refuse later.
"Chief Hou, if that's the case, then Xiao Rui will be frank …" Ceng Rui pursed her red lips and said calmly, "Xiao Rui hopes that Chief Hou can release that Chen He."
Swoosh! Hou Liangdong's face instantly turned pale! Although he had expected this, when he heard the words of the Zeng family's daughter, Hou Liangdong still panicked! At this moment, he was stuck between a rock and a hard place!
"Miss Zeng … you're putting me in a difficult position! This Chen He … he's been convicted of a serious crime. According to the law, he can't be released! "Hou Liangdong said with a serious expression, his voice filled with helplessness.
Ceng Rui's beautiful eyes blinked, and she said profoundly, "Alright, then let's do it according to the law. I'll inform the prosecutor's office and the law office, and have them speed up the investigation process … review all the clues and information one by one."
Whoosh! Hearing this, Hou Liangdong's face turned even paler!! This time, his heart was beating violently! The Zeng family was a superpower in Shanghai … they had been here for hundreds of years, and who knew how many powers they had hidden under the sea … if this case was reopened … then the evidence he tampered with in secret … would probably be exposed!! Then his position as the boss would come to an end!! He would probably lose his head!
"Um … Miss Zeng … I'm afraid …" Cold sweat dripped down Hou Liangdong's face. At this moment, he felt a great sense of panic … the seemingly elegant and calm Miss Zeng in front of him was like a sharp sword pointing at him, leaving him no room to breathe.
Ceng Rui raised her beautiful eyes and stared at him, her voice calm as usual. "Release or not?"
Hou Liangdong's face turned extremely unsightly … he froze for a long time … but in the end, he gritted his teeth and nodded solemnly.
"Actually … this Chen He's case … perhaps there are still many suspicious points … I'll have my subordinates review it again … Miss Zeng, please wait a moment …" Hou Liangdong sighed, as if he had aged a few years. At this moment, he was helpless!!
As a dignified man in his forties, he was actually under so much pressure in front of a young girl … This made Hou Liangdong feel extremely humiliated … but there was nothing he could do. Because the other party was from the Zeng family, and because her surname was Zeng!
The so-called review was just a formality … a few minutes later, the results were out … Hou Liangdong's face was filled with helplessness and frustration as he led Ceng Rui and Qin Prajna all the way to the detention center of the special guest house in Shanghai …
…
Inside the small dark room of the special guest house.
Douglas Chen was currently drinking wine and chatting happily with the old man in the next room … Being able to drink expensive Maotai and eat delicacies in this small dark room was simply another kind of enjoyment … What was not to like in life?
At this moment, the sound of a door opening suddenly came from the corridor outside.
When Douglas heard this voice, he was slightly taken aback. Carrying the wine bottle, he passed through the hole in the wall and returned to his room.
"Creak." The heavy metal door in the room was opened, and a few staff members stood at the entrance of the small dark room.
"Chen He, come out, you're released!" The staff member's voice was incomparably cold as he shouted.
Hearing this, Chen He's eyes narrowed. He still sat in the corner, ignoring them.
"Ask you to come out?! Did you hear me? You're released! "Seeing that he didn't move, the staff member's voice became even louder.
