Wang Li struggled desperately, trying to break free from the security personnel of the Security Bureau, wanting to snatch the evidence and destroy it. Unfortunately, he couldn't move at all.
As the documents fell into everyone's hands, everyone present was shocked.
The victim's family they had assumed was actually the biggest culprit.
For money and another woman, he had exploited the Han family's drug crisis to concoct this scheme, using the lives of his wife and children to extort money from the Han family.
Such an act was appalling and insane.
The documents also contained some photos of his wife and children.
His wife came from a wealthy family, yet she married him when his circumstances were ordinary. After marriage, she even asked her parents to help Wang Li's career, while she managed the household and took care of their shared child.
Before her death, she had just discovered she was over a month pregnant.
The three children already born were beautiful, academically sound, and had excellent temperaments, yet they were killed by their own father.
The evil of human nature was laid bare in the sunlight at this moment, twisted and ferocious, chilling everyone to the bone.
Bai Xi glanced indifferently at the trembling Wang Li and said, "Wang Li, your retribution has arrived."
At these words, everyone snapped back to reality.
"Even a tiger wouldn't eat its cubs; this, this is simply beastly!"
"Don't insult beasts, this kind of thing doesn't deserve to live in this world."
"Don't let him die too easily; make him truly feel the pain and despair his wife and children felt before their deaths!"
"Yes, definitely don't let him die too easily!"
"That scum and his mistress shouldn't be let off either. If not for her instigation, how could this man have gone this far!"
"Are you still trying to defend him? Even if the mistress instigated it, wasn't he the one who acted? He could even lay hands on his own flesh and blood; he's a demon!"
"I'm not defending him, I just feel his wretched life alone isn't enough to pay for it. Since these two wretched people loved each other so passionately and took lives for money, both of them deserve to die!"
"Now that's more like it. Yes, their illicit affair during marriage, the dog and bitch who killed an innocent woman and children must die!"
"..."
The alluring woman standing nearby trembled uncontrollably as some people turned their attention to her.
She stammered, "Everything I know, I've told. This has nothing to do with me. It was all Wang Li. I had no idea he would go this far. May I leave now?"
Bai Xi glanced indifferently at the provocatively dressed woman, saying nothing.
Seeing everyone glaring at him as if they wanted to kill him, and this woman about to abandon him at this very moment, Wang Li instantly flew into a rage: "Bitch, you wretched bitch! If you hadn't seduced me, how could I have laid hands on Li Xia and the children? It's all your fault; don't you think about clearing your name."
Hearing this, the woman retorted loudly, "Wang Li, when I met you, you never told me you were married and had three children. You only said so after we got together. After you told me, I didn't forgive you, and you said you'd buy me a house and a car to show your loyalty to me, right? When did I ever tell you to take action?"
Wang Li roared back, "You refused to be with me when you knew I had a wife and children, implying that if I didn't have a wife and children, it would be fine. Doesn't that mean you wanted me to get rid of my wife and children? Also, you demanded money and property from me, didn't you want me to find a way to get money? I've become like this all for you. Even if it's hell, you have to accompany me!"
The woman trembled all over, "I just wanted the compensation I deserved. You slept with me, shouldn't you compensate me? I asked for things, but I never asked you to kill anyone..."
For a moment, the two argued, staging a dog-eat-dog drama.
While the gossiping crowd found such scenes interesting, Bai Xi found them utterly tedious and a nuisance to her ears. "Guards, drag these two away and 'serve' them well. Make sure it's worthy of the wife and children they killed."
"Young Miss, rest assured!"
A simple, firm, and cold acknowledgment caused the two arguing individuals to freeze instantly, leaving only pleas for mercy: "Young Miss, spare us!"
"Young Miss, this really has nothing to do with me; it was all that damned Wang Li who did it!"
Unfortunately, no one paid them any heed. Xuan Feng's men stepped forward and dragged the two away.
After the two were taken away, Bai Xi's gaze slowly shifted to the Director of the Security Bureau.
As the Director of the Security Bureau met Bai Xi's gaze, he flinched all over. "War... no, no, Young Miss, I know I was wrong! Please, please give me another chance!"
After speaking, he knelt directly before Bai Xi.
Bai Xi watched him calmly and said, "I've always wondered why the public order in Shangyang is so chaotic. It turns out it's because you're a Director of the Security Bureau who just wants to smooth things over. From the moment you arrived here today, I gave you three chances, but unfortunately, you didn't seize any of them."
One was when he asked him to handle the Han family's affairs, but without investigation or understanding the truth of who was the victim and who was the aggrieved party, he only sought to balance both sides, pacify the situation quickly, let the Han family compensate, and let Wang Li leave.
The second time, Wang Li accused her of being a thug, and he, without any basis or questioning, dismissed the matter.
The third time, after learning her identity, he presumptuously tried to arrest Wang Li by force, without any valid reason, simply believing she was on the Han family's side.
The Director of the Security Bureau flinched all over, his face ashen. "I, I, I..."
He stammered for a long time, unable to utter a single word.
Bai Xi said calmly, "I've said it before, if an official doesn't serve the people, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes. Since you lack the ability to be the Director of the Security Bureau, then go home and sell sweet potatoes."
She had asked Xuan Feng to investigate earlier. This Director of the Security Bureau was not a bad person; he had sympathy for the weak and had indeed helped some people.
Such a person, who feared trouble and was timid, was perfectly fine living as an ordinary person. If placed in a neighborhood committee, he would even be considered capable. However, for such a person to occupy a high position often meant aiding and abetting evil, emboldening those who intended to harm others. Therefore, the Shangyang Security Bureau would absolutely not keep such a director.
At these words, the Director of the Security Bureau was slightly stunned, and in the end, he beamed with joy. "Good, good, good. Thank you, Young Miss, for your magnanimity. I will return to the Security Bureau today to handle the procedures and tomorrow I will return to my hometown to sell sweet potatoes!"
With the intelligence department involved, if they wanted to investigate, ordinary people would definitely be thoroughly examined.
Fortunately, he had no prior record of corruption or bribery, nor had he committed any particularly serious offenses. Otherwise, once he entered the intelligence department, it would be equivalent to entering hell. Now that the God of War had allowed him to return to his hometown, it was considered giving him a way out.
He was from a prominent family, so even selling sweet potatoes, he could open a chain store!
After speaking, he wiped the sweat from his brow and left.
The onlookers watched the Director of the Security Bureau leave in such a jovial mood, unable to come to their senses for a long time, feeling as if they had witnessed a fantastical movie.
Did they mishear just now? Did the Director of the Security Bureau say he was going home to sell sweet potatoes? Yet, his relaxed and joyful demeanor as he left made one think he had received a promotion and a raise!
