Chen Qingquan felt a sense of shock. He swallowed and, with a forced smile, said, "Didn't I already tell you?"
"He's a rapist, and then..."
"Shut up!" Wang Yong's roar made Chen Qingquan flinch.
"Do you know who this is? This is the sect leader of the Ba Shan Sect!"
"The dignified sect leader of the Ba Shan Sect, and in your mouth, he's a rapist. You have quite a nerve!"
"Wh-what? The sect leader of the Ba Shan Sect?!" Chen Qingquan's face turned pale.
He stammered, "No way, he's just a village doctor from the countryside. How could he be your sect leader? This doesn't make sense!"
Wang Yong angrily retorted, "He has the sect leader's token. If he's not the sect leader, then who is? You?"
"You'd better explain things clearly, or I'll make sure you regret it today!"
The sudden turn of events caught Chen Qingquan off guard.
Explain clearly?
Explain what?
If he explained, how would he ever live his life?
Seeing his silence, Wu Tian chuckled and said, "If you let him explain, he might still be unclear by tomorrow. Just listen to me."
Then, Wu Tian recounted the entire incident.
During this time, Chen Qingquan's expression grew increasingly despondent, while Wang Yong's gaze became more and more grim.
After Wu Tian finished, Wang Yong immediately looked at Chen Qingquan, his eyes seeming to spew fire.
"Chen Qingquan, I never imagined you were this kind of person. Today, you've truly opened my eyes!"
Chen Qingquan was so nervous he was sweating profusely, his tongue feeling tied.
He trembled and said,
"Director Wang, please listen to me. Things are not as you imagine. He... he's framing me. It's all his framing!"
"Framing you?" Wang Yong said coldly, "Are you saying that our Ba Shan Sect leader is truly a rapist?"
Chen Qingquan was startled and then stammered, "I didn't, I just..."
He thought for a long time but couldn't utter another word.
The situation had changed too quickly. Who could have imagined that Wu Tian would be the sect leader of the Ba Shan Sect!
Now, he felt like he was caught between a rock and a hard place, unable to advance or retreat.
No matter which way he turned, he was doomed.
Seeing his state, the perceptive Wang Yong naturally grasped the full picture.
Without wasting any more words on Chen Qingquan, he immediately bellowed, "Chen Qingquan! I trusted you so much, but you've truly disappointed me!"
"From now on, I am suspending you for investigation. Please take off your hat."
"Ah?" Hearing Wang Yong's words, Chen Qingquan almost couldn't stand.
He knew his own wrongdoings clearly and understood that he couldn't withstand an investigation.
If he were truly investigated, the consequence wouldn't be suspension, but imprisonment!
The thought of spending the rest of his life in prison made him frantic, tears welling up in his eyes.
He quickly pleaded with Wang Yong, "Director Wang, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. I know I was wrong now."
"Please spare me this time. After all, I'm the old station chief here. If something happens to me, there'll be no one to take over!"
He said this to subtly pressure Wang Yong.
After all, it was difficult to deal with corrupt officials nowadays because those people were still useful.
If they were easily removed, the management system could potentially collapse.
Wu Tian, though not politically astute, could see through his little ploy and chuckled,
"Station Chief Chen, don't think too highly of yourself. Do you think you're irreplaceable?"
"I think Officer Li is quite good. Perhaps he should be the station chief."
"Li Rugang?!" Chen Qingquan felt his head buzzing.
He quickly added, "Li Rugang won't do!"
"His seniority and experience are not as good as mine. How can he take my place?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Station Chief Chen, do you know what's most important for a police officer? It's not experience, but conscience."
"I saw Officer Li refuse to be complicit with you just now, so I think he's very suitable."
"As for you, you should honestly accept the organizational investigation."
Chen Qingquan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, almost jumping with agitation.
He frantically said to Wang Yong, "Director Wang, you can't believe him!"
"Only I can be the station chief here. No one else can!"
He had originally thought that Wang Yong would at least consider the repercussions.
But to his surprise, Wang Yong simply said coldly, "No? Why not?"
"The people's police serve the people, but do you still have that intention?"
"Allowing you to remain in this position will only lead to exploiting the public. So, you don't need to say anything more to me. Whatever the sect leader says goes. I won't listen to any of your nonsense."
Chen Qingquan knew Wang Yong's character. Once Wang Yong made a decision, it was usually irreversible.
For a moment, his face turned ashen, and he felt his heart sink to the bottom.
Only then did he realize how foolish he had been.
What awaited him next was a severe legal judgment.
Subsequently, under Wang Yong's orders, Chen Qingquan was taken away.
This incident served as a stark warning to the other members of the police station.
From now on, they should perform their duties diligently and dare not engage in any acts that violate professional ethics.
Afterward, Wu Tian left the police station as a matter of course.
Wang Yong was very enthusiastic and insisted on inviting Wu Tian to his home.
So, after a simple meal with Wang Yong, Wu Tian headed directly to the Wang Quan Sect.
The Wang Quan Sect was located in the suburbs, occupying dozens of acres.
At first glance, it was almost entirely composed of classical architecture.
This indicated that the Wang Quan Sect possessed considerable economic strength.
Wu Tian walked to the main gate and said to the gatekeeping disciple, "Hello, I'm here to see your sect leader. Could you please inform him?"
The gatekeeping disciples were dozing off, so they were somewhat displeased to see Wu Tian arrive.
He lazily said,
"Who are you? Do you think you can see our sect leader just like that?"
Wu Tian did not get angry at the gatekeeping disciple's attitude.
He had encountered many such people. If he got angry every time, his tolerance would be too low.
He smiled and said, "Give this to your sect leader. When he sees it, he'll naturally come out."
As he spoke, he handed Su Qiannai's token to the gatekeeping disciple.
The gatekeeping disciple was somewhat reluctant but still took the token and went inside.
Wu Tian waited quietly for a moment, and soon, a middle-aged man rushed out anxiously.
