Gu Qinghan gave an order, and Yu Youwei, along with more than a dozen guards, immediately sprang into action.
In less than two minutes, dozens of Tang family relatives were apprehended.
After capturing the Tang family relatives, several guards slowly approached Madam Tang, Tang Chunqiu, and Qi Sandong.
"Gu Qinghan, you are too presumptuous."
Seeing that Gu Qinghan actually ordered the action, Madam Tang's face changed drastically. She shouted with feigned authority, "Are you so reckless, do you really think the Guard Bureau is your domain?"
Madam Tang was furious. Although Gu Qinghan was only half a rank higher than her husband, Tang Chunqiu, he acted like a mouse before a cat in front of Gu Qinghan, afraid to even speak.
"Gu Qinghan, you are showing favoritism, suppressing others. You favor this brat and take the opportunity to suppress your subordinates. I am not convinced."
In her anger, Madam Tang shouted at Gu Qinghan again.
"Whether you are convinced or not has nothing to do with me."
Looking at Madam Tang, Gu Qinghan said coldly, "Everyone in the Guard Bureau knows who I, Gu Qinghan, am. I only judge by guilt, not by intention."
"I don't care what others think, but if they break the law, I will arrest them, regardless of their background or how influential they are."
Speaking of this, Gu Qinghan looked at Tang Chunqiu beside him and sighed, "Old Tang, we've been colleagues for years. I never expected something like this to happen. However, after working together for several years, you should know my character."
"These past few years, as Director and you as Deputy Director, I have never suppressed you. You should understand this."
"However, while I, Gu Qinghan, will not suppress my subordinates, I will absolutely not shield them. Since you have broken the law and committed such an act, do not blame me for handling it officially. I apologize for the offense."
After Gu Qinghan finished speaking, he waved his hand and ordered, "Handcuff them all and take them away."
Looking at Gu Qinghan, Tang Chunqiu felt a complex mix of emotions.
For the past few years, he had worked with Gu Qinghan, always trembling and fearful in her presence.
This was not only because Gu Qinghan was young, capable, decisive, and well-connected, but also because she was incorruptible.
Tang Chunqiu never imagined he would fall at Gu Qinghan's hands. For a moment, his face was filled with despair.
Although today's incident did not result in severe consequences, its impact was extremely negative. Tang Chunqiu could only imagine the price he would have to pay.
"Old Tang, say something..."
Seeing that Tang Chunqiu dared not speak from beginning to end, Madam Tang shouted angrily.
"Slap—"
After Madam Tang finished speaking, Tang Chunqiu raised his hand and slapped her.
"You dare to hit me?"
Madam Tang had been married to Tang Chunqiu for thirty years and had always been doted on by him. She had never heard him raise his voice. She never expected to be slapped by him one day, and she was enraged.
"You foolish woman, if you say another word, I will divorce you."
Tang Chunqiu glared at his wife, furious.
If it weren't for this woman making a scene and insisting on severely punishing Yu Xiao at the school, and even calling dozens of relatives, today's situation would not have escalated like this, and Tang Chunqiu would not have fallen into Gu Qinghan's hands.
Tang Chunqiu suppressed a surge of anger within him but dared not vent it on Gu Qinghan, so he took it out on Madam Tang.
Hearing Tang Chunqiu threaten divorce, Madam Tang was so scared she dared not say another word.
Soon, Madam Tang, Tang Chunqiu, and Qi Sandong were all handcuffed and taken away.
However, as they were leaving, Madam Tang looked at Shen Lang and Yu Xiao, her eyes filled with venom.
The reason today's situation had spiraled out of control was entirely due to Shen Lang and Yu Xiao. Madam Tang dared not confront Gu Qinghan, but she vowed to make Shen Lang and Yu Xiao pay.
"Younger Brother, it's fortunate you were here today. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of trouble would have erupted."
After Yu Youwei and the others had escorted everyone away, Gu Qinghan looked at Shen Lang, smiling tenderly. "It seems Sister was right, you are Sister's lucky star. Every time I see you, you bring good fortune."
"Sister is joking. It's all a coincidence."
Shen Lang looked at Gu Qinghan, his gaze incredibly gentle, and said.
"Whether it's a coincidence or not, you averted a sensitive case, and that is an indisputable fact."
Gu Qinghan smiled. "To be honest, Sister wants you to enroll in the Guard Academy and join the Guard Bureau to fight crime with me. What do you think?"
"This..."
Upon hearing Gu Qinghan's words, Shen Lang was taken aback. He hadn't expected Gu Qinghan to have such an idea and looked surprised.
However, just as Shen Lang was about to speak, Gu Qinghan covered his mouth with her hand and said, "You don't need to answer me right away. Consider it carefully before you speak."
"I have already contacted the Education Bureau to help you register for the college entrance examination. As long as you pass, you will have a diploma and can then apply to the Guard Academy."
"All the study materials have been purchased and mailed to you. Study hard, and don't disappoint me."
"As for your medical license exam, I have also arranged for someone to help you register. I believe you will receive the exam notification soon."
Gu Qinghan looked at Shen Lang tenderly, her smile blooming like a flower. "Sister hopes that Younger Brother will become someone who shines brightly, eclipsing his peers. Do not disappoint Sister."
"Okay—"
Hearing that Gu Qinghan had arranged everything for him and taken such meticulous care of him, Shen Lang was deeply moved. He nodded and said, "I will not utter a word until I have a great achievement, and I will not fly until I soar to the heavens. Sister, rest assured, if I decide to do something, I will be the first, and I will only be the first."
"Sister likes the defiant spirit of arrogance you possess."
Gu Qinghan looked at Shen Lang, incredibly pleased, and said, "Let me tell you two things."
"First, the Nanling Golden Couple case has reached a verdict. All twenty-odd members of the Lin family were involved, their crimes heinous. This includes Ye Shishi's sister, Ye Zhiqiou, who have all been sentenced to death and executed."
"Second, the identity of the Northern Gun King Nalan Wushuang has been verified. He confessed to all his crimes and revealed how Tang Zixuan had been protecting him over the years, secretly ordering him to commit murder and arson."
"Nalan Wushuang, a notorious bandit, has committed countless murders and his crimes are heinous. He has been sentenced to death. Tang Zixuan, for harboring a wanted criminal on the Heavenly Ranking, has been sentenced to death as well. Execution will be at the Nanshan Execution Ground tomorrow morning. The Guard Bureau is responsible for the entire security. I will be the lead in charge."
"Sister is worried that there might be unforeseen circumstances then?"
Shen Lang smiled as he saw a flicker of worry in Gu Qinghan's eyes, which quickly disappeared.
"Yes—"
Gu Qinghan said, "Tang Zixuan is, after all, the son of Tang Men's Sect Master Jiutian. I am worried that the Tang Men might not be able to hold back and cause trouble."
"Get me a set of Guard uniform. I will accompany Sister to be in charge of security then."
Shen Lang said after thinking for a moment.
"Oh yeah, I knew Younger Brother wouldn't abandon Sister."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Gu Qinghan smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
