Having heard this,

Chen Fang already knew what happened next.

After entering the banking hall of the rural commercial bank,

people arranged in advance by Chen Jinmin were ready to make a move on Song Yan.

Of course, they weren't really going to attack; they were just going to pretend to coerce Song Yan into firing his gun for self-defense. This way, the nature of the incident would change from initially guarding someone with a gun to committing armed robbery, and once Zhang Jiangming arrived at the scene with his men, he would kill Song Yan.

A perfect murder conspiracy was thus successful.

Next, they would plant a few IOUs in Song Yan's house.

The motive would then logically follow.

If it wasn't for Guan Xiaoxian confessing the truth, this wrongful case would probably never have been solved in this lifetime.

"A very clever plan,"

Chen Fang couldn't help but exclaim.

Guan Xiaoxian nodded and said, "None of the plans were designed by me, but by Tang Zhuqing. Each step was meticulously calculated, and each could be considered a perfect crime."

At this point,

the whole truth about the matter was about to come out.

Upon hearing the true cause of death of two childhood friends, Chen Rulin's tears couldn't be held back any longer and streamed down incessantly.

Just as Chen Fang was preparing to arrange the capture of Chen Jinmin, suddenly there was a click, and the lights in the room went out.

He felt a chill in his heart.

"This is bad, something's going to happen!"

Chen Fang flung open the door, only then realizing not just their room, but all the lights in the hallway were out.

Chen Rulin also wanted to follow him out, but Chen Fang turned his head and said, "Don't run, protect Guan Xiaoxian; I'll go check it out."

Outside was already chaotic.

Everyone was somewhat at a loss.

In the crowd, Chen Fang encountered Ling Li and asked, "Where's Tang Zhuqing? Where is she?"

"The office up front!"

Ling Li pointed with his hand.

Without a word, Chen Fang rushed toward the office.

Seeing some people guarding outside, he asked, "Who's guarding inside?"

"No one."

A colleague from the Disciplinary Committee answered.

"No one? Why isn't there anyone?"

Chen Fang's heart raced to his throat.

The colleague from the Disciplinary Committee replied apologetically, "She said she wasn't a criminal and didn't need to be guarded, and additionally, because of her status… we also…"

Such an answer

made Chen Fang stamp his foot in frustration.

He hurried to open the office door, only to find that it had been locked from the outside.

No longer able to wait, Chen Fang stepped back a few paces, took a running start, and kicked the door, making a loud noise as it was kicked open.

In the darkness, one could see a person lying motionlessly on the office sofa; Chen Fang knew something terrible had happened. Rushing to the sofa, he then saw Tang Zhuqing leaning askew on the sofa, her head tilted back, with a distinct ligature mark visible on her neck. Feeling for a pulse, he found there was none left.

It was over.

This was really it.

Chen Fang stood up, seeing that one of the windows was open.

On the windowsill bathed in moonlight, a clear footprint was visible, indicating that the murderer had climbed in from the outside.

"Catch them!"

Chen Fang issued the command.

Police and colleagues from the Disciplinary Committee dispersed to act.

Just then, with a click, the room's lights came on.

Ren Yiweng and Ling Li, having received the news, also rushed in and were instantly horrified by the sight of Tang Zhuqing lying motionless with wide-open eyes.

It must be noted that all the truth had been confessed by Guan Xiaoxian.

And Guan Xiaoxian didn't have direct evidence pointing at Tang Zhuqing, meaning, even if what Guan Xiaoxian said was true, it wasn't possible to convict Tang Zhuqing legally.

But she died just like that,

right in the prosecutor's office.

Given her status as a daughter-in-law of the Xu Family, this outcome was more than any person present could handle.

Beep beep beep beep beep...

The siren sounded.

At the entrance of the prosecutor's office.

A row of more than a dozen police cars filed in.

When the door of the first car opened,

the people who got out were none other than Zhao Yiping, the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Wulan City, and Zhang Weiming, the Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee.

The two hurried into the prosecutor's office. As soon as they saw Tang Zhuqing dead on the sofa, their expressions immediately darkened...

No one dared to speak at the scene.

Because nothing they said could explain the situation before their eyes.

Zhao Yiping said in a deep voice, "Control everyone at the scene, and wait for further decisions from the Municipal Party Committee."

Just like that.

Ren Yiweng, Ling Li, Chen Fang, and everyone else at the prosecutor's office were all taken away.

Such a big incident had occurred.

The Guyang City Public Security Bureau had now been completely taken over by the Wulan City Public Security Bureau.

Chen Fang and the others were also detained in the detention room of the Guyang City Public Security Bureau.

It wasn't until the next day around noon.

The door of the detention room opened, and Zhang Weiming, accompanied by two officers from the Disciplinary Committee, walked in, took out a red-topped document, and read to Chen Fang, "Comrade Chen Fang, you are suspected of abuse of power and dereliction of duty. After investigation and resolution by the Wulan City Party Committee and Disciplinary Committee, you are expelled from the party and your public office. Your criminal behaviors will be transferred to the judicial authority for further investigation."

Bam!

It was a bolt from the blue.

What was bound to come had finally arrived.

"Secretary Zhang, how are Mayor Ren and Deputy Secretary Ling?"

Chen Fang asked.

Zhang Weiming sighed and said, "Oh, Chen Fang, Chen Fang, you have also... you have been too bold. You dared to mess with someone of Tang Zhuqing's status and caused such consequences. Now, not even a deity can save you. As for Ren Yiweng and Ling Li, they are also awaiting further processing. You should stop worrying about them and start thinking about what you should do?"

After dropping those words,

Zhang Weiming turned and left.

A tangled mess.

It truly was a tangled mess.

Who exactly had killed Tang Zhuqing?

And why was Tang Zhuqing killed?

Just as Chen Fang was at his wit's end,

Zhao Yiping hurriedly walked out of the entrance of the Guyang City Public Security Bureau.

After waiting at a secluded intersection for a few minutes,

a very ordinary sedan car stopped in front of him.

Zhao Yiping didn't even think before he directly opened the door and got into the back seat.

At this time, there was already a man in the back seat.

He was wearing a flat cap, pulled down low, and also wore a pair of large sunglasses that almost covered most of his face, making him hard to discern clearly.

"How did it go?"

The man asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Yiping nodded emphatically and said, "Everything is going according to plan. Chen Fang has been double-expelled and Ren Yiweng and Ling Li are basically going to be transferred from their posts soon. The Xu Family has suffered a heavy hit. Soon, whether it's the Boiling Point Group or the Economic Development Zone, we should be able to take control."

"You have done well. Ji Yu's position will be shuffled soon. Get ready; you might get to be the mayor."

Upon hearing this,

Zhao Yiping instantly became excited.

He said, "Thank you, H... "

Realizing something was off the moment he almost said the word 'Hou', he immediately corrected himself, "Thank you, Leader. I am willing to toil like a dog or horse for the Leader."

The man nodded, thinking Zhao Yiping would then alight from the car.

Unexpectedly, he still looked hesitant.

"Is there anything else?"

The man inquired.

Zhao Yiping said, "After Tang Zhuqing's deeds are exposed, although the Xu Family will despise her, her death is something the Xu Family will surely investigate. If nothing goes wrong, the Xu Family will soon send someone. The Xu Family's sole heiress, Xu Jinxue, is quite fond of Chen Fang. If she seeks help from the Xu Family to save Chen Fang, he still might have a chance of redemption..."

A sly smile appeared on the man's face.

He said, "Then let's arrange for Chen Fang to go to the detention center sooner. I have already prepared for the reception of guests there..."

Zhao Yiping was overjoyed.

He nodded and said, "I will arrange for Chen Fang to go to the detention center today..."
