Chapter 9: The Rival Appears

"Director Li, can our family member and her friend leave now?" Liu Yan glanced at Li Lei and asked again, thinking that this time no one should dare to speak up and stop them.

Qin Kai was taken aback; it was the first time he had seen Li Lei speak to him in such a tone. His expression immediately darkened, filled with reluctance, and his gaze towards Chen Tian was filled with resentment and malice

The Qin family in Taizhou City can be said to have almost complete dominance.

Qin Kai, shut your mouth!

The reason Qin Kai would lower himself is entirely due to Nangong Bingyue. He learned of Nangong Bingyue's identity from his father, and he was also captivated by her stunning beauty and her ethereal, cold demeanor reminiscent of the Tianshan snow lotus

Upon hearing this, Li Lei broke out in a cold sweat. Liu Yan clearly expressed her dissatisfaction at that moment. Thinking of the mysterious force represented by Liu Yan behind her, he suddenly trembled all over, feeling a sense of foreboding in his heart

Xuan Yuan Meng Li and Chen Tian, as the two most central figures in this case, will undoubtedly meet a predetermined fate, being forcibly accused of the baseless charge of murdering the deputy chief of the police station

Although they did not understand why Li Lei had changed his usual upright demeanor, they knew that in the realm of officialdom, it was often better not to seek clarity on certain matters; otherwise, one might end up not even knowing how they met their demise

Li Lei felt a sense of relief in his heart upon seeing that Qin Kai no longer pursued the matter. He was truly afraid that this reckless young man from the Qin family would offend Liu Yan, and the consequences would be simply unimaginable

Regardless of the reasons, both Chen Tian and the other party bear an undeniable responsibility. Based on past experience, it is necessary to detain Xuan Yuan Meng Li and Chen Tian at the police station for a thorough investigation and interrogation.

However, Li Lei's response nearly caused the eyes of these police officers to bulge out of their sockets

They all displayed expressions of disbelief on their faces. When did the usually fair and impartial Li Lei become so pedantic?

In the year that Qin Kai has been at the police station, Nangong Bingyue has never looked at him directly, and although he has tried to approach her in hopes of winning the heart of the beautiful woman, unfortunately, all his efforts have ended in failure

Thus, Qin Kai willingly came to work at the Linhai Police Station, and all of this was in pursuit of Nangong Bingyue. He hoped to win the heart of the beauty while also securing greater benefits for his family

Subsequently, Li Lei, with a serious expression, addressed all the police officers present and said with utmost seriousness: "Li Dafu, as a law enforcement officer, has violated the law while knowing it, abusing his power to commit such illegal and unethical acts, and his death is not to be regretted"

Ordinary people and general forces are also reluctant to offend the Qin family

I am afraid that by then, the Qin family, one of the three prominent families in Taizhou City, will become a term of the past

Li Lei is the chief of the police station, and there are positions above him. At the same time, Li Lei's family, the Li family, is one of the three prominent families in Taizhou City, just like the Qin family. Therefore, Qin Kai also does not dare to be too reckless in front of Li Lei

If Liu Yan really gets angry, the consequences will be unimaginable. I fear that this small police chief might lose his position due to a single remark from the other party

At this moment, Qin Kai wished he could cut Chen Tian into eight pieces, as he regarded Chen Tian as the greatest obstacle in pursuing Nangong Bingyue, his most formidable rival.

"Yes, Director!" the police officers present nodded in agreement.

This left Chen Tian feeling somewhat perplexed, as it seemed to him that he was meeting Qin Kai for the first time. He had no idea where he might have offended Qin Kai.

A deputy department-level official has died under unclear circumstances, and Director Li has closed the case without a thorough investigation. Such actions may be somewhat inappropriate

Li Lei paused for a moment and continued, "Today, Li Dafu has committed suicide; this is a consequence of his own actions. The case ends here, and no one is permitted to pursue it further. As for these two suspects, I hereby declare them not guilty and release them."

As soon as Liu Yan finished speaking, Li Lei nodded quickly with a smile and said, "Mr. Liu, how could your friend possibly be a criminal? This is all a misunderstanding"

Humph! Qin Kai let out a cold snort, shot a fierce glance at Li Lei, and fell silent.

However, behind Li Lei, the young police officer responded with a question, a faint smile adorning his somewhat youthful face

When Qin Kai's gaze fell upon Chen Tian, he instantly felt the malicious intent behind Qin Kai's eyes

Who do you think you are from https://m.hetushucomcom? The head of state? Do you think a single sentence from you can make the director release a criminal suspect? It's simply laughable.

The man's hand unexpectedly rested in the place that Qin Kai had always yearned for, instantly intensifying his feelings of jealousy.

Upon realizing this, Li Lei quickly turned around and sternly reprimanded, warning Qin Kai with a serious expression: "You should not involve yourself in this matter any further"

Liu Yan's words caused some of the police present to secretly mock her in their hearts

In general, in order to mitigate the impact of an incident, the police must find someone to take the blame in the shortest possible time

Moreover, due to Chen Tian and others, the deputy chief of the police station, Li Dafu, committed suicide by gunshot.

Li Lei, it seems that this subordinate of yours does not agree with your decision? Liu Yan said with a cold smile, her tone somewhat ambiguous, and a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on her face

Linhai is classified as a county-level city, while Taizhou is classified as a prefecture-level city. Although both are cities, there is a significant difference between them. The powers of the mayor of Taizhou are much greater than those of the mayor of Linhai

The circle to which Liu Yan belongs is the upper class of Taizhou City. Her deigning to come to Linhai is entirely due to her regard for Xuanyuan Mengli and the *Tu* book.

All eyes instantly converged on the young police officer, and the crowd was astonished that this person dared to voice a challenge to Li Lei. Did he not want to continue his career in the police station?

However, just now, Qin Kai unexpectedly saw his ideal goddess, Nangong Bingyue, being held in the arms of a stranger.

As the eldest son of the third generation of the Qin family, the esteemed young master of the Qin family, Qin Kai, is of noble status. It stands to reason that he should never be relegated to a position in Linhai, serving as a mere captain of the criminal police department.

Where is this? Is it the police station

Mr. Liu Yan, the child does not understand, please do not take it to heart!" Li Lei wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly apologized, smiling as he spoke

Hmm! Liu Yan lightly nodded. If it weren't for Xuan Yuan Meng Li calling for help, he would not have wasted so much time here with a mere chief of the Linhai police station.

However, what left Qin Kai feeling helpless was that Nangong Bingyue had an incredibly proud personality; she was a typical strong woman and a workaholic

Qin Kai, at a young age, has already become the captain of the Second Criminal Investigation Team, with a limitless future ahead of him. The family power behind Qin Kai, the Qin family, is one of the three major forces in Taizhou City, immensely powerful.
