Lin's father was truly anxious. Being at the heart of the storm, he understood the situation in Jiangcheng better than anyone.
"Jingjing, you're my only daughter. The Lin Corporation will depend on you to inherit it. My dearest, I beg you, please don't get entangled in the battlefield of those big figures!"
Lin's father pleaded earnestly.
Lin Jingjing hesitated, conflicted, but in the end, she couldn't let go. "This entire matter is because of me. I cannot stand idly by!"
Lin's father roared, "I'll send the driver and bodyguards to pick you up right now. You will stay at home obediently, and you are not allowed to go out!"
Lin Jingjing cried out, "You just said I'm your only daughter, and now you're asking if I'll manage or not!"
Lin's father was helpless. "I can visit the Nan County King's family, but whether it will succeed, your old father has no confidence at all. Our Lin family's foundation is too small; they might not even take notice."
"Thank you, Dad. I'll come back now and go with you!"
"Mmm, what did you say his name was?"
"Qin Yexuan. He's also the hidden mastermind behind the Tianyi Consortium!"
What?
Lin's father's voice rose. "What nonsense are you spouting, child? If that Qin Yexuan were the head of Tianyi, how could he fear a mere Nan County King's family?"
Lin Jingjing tried to explain repeatedly, but Lin's father wouldn't believe her. "The boss of Tianyi is Chairman Chen of the Grand Merchants' Association of Great Xia. Everyone in our business circles knows this. You've been deceived by him!"
Lin Jingjing pouted. "I'll tell you more when I get back."
Shortly after she left, Chen Qiuhai led the police department's Internal Affairs Division and Operations Division, with over thirty vehicles rushing over.
Opening the car door, Chen Qiuhai, his face ashen, walked into the police station and slapped the guard at the entrance. "Get Zhang Mou out here!"
Zhang Mou was still on the phone talking to his cousin's wife when he heard the commotion outside and hurried out. Upon seeing Chen Qiuhai, he was terrified.
Had they actually invited Officer Chen?
He hurried over, bowing and scraping, attempting to shake hands.
Chen Qiuhai was furious and kicked him over. "Take him down!"
Zhang Mou lay on the ground, his eyes darting around.
This was bad. That Qin Yexuan really had connections with Officer Chen. If he was taken to Internal Affairs, he was finished!
He cowered, seeing Chen Qiuhai's men approaching, and suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
Chen Qiuhai grunted. "Do you still intend to resist?"
He drew his service weapon, and the muzzle was placed at Zhang Mou's head.
Zhang Mou's eyes were frantic. "Officer Chen, you are the boss of the Nan County Police Department. Of course, I wouldn't dare resist, but the Nan County King's family is behind me. My cousin's wife is the King's consort. Do you know that?"
Chen Qiuhai was so angry he laughed. "Heh, you're still trying to threaten me with the King's family?"
With a bang, he kicked him over again, pressing the muzzle directly against his temple. "Believe it or not, I'll blow your brains out!"
Zhang Mou's legs trembled. "Wait, wait, I need to make a phone call!"
Before Chen Qiuhai could speak, Qin Yexuan's voice was heard. "Let him call!"
The phone was handed to Zhang Mou. Zhang Mou dusted himself off, walked aside, and made three consecutive calls.
Then he straightened his clothes, held his head high with pride. "Officer Chen, you can arrest me now. But I'll be out soon, and it won't be a problem at all. I'll still be the person in charge of this police station. Do you believe me?"
"I don't believe you!" Chen Qiuhai was about to explode.
This petty police station chief was so arrogant in front of him. Where did that leave the face of the Nan County Police Chief?
"Take this scoundrel back to headquarters. Seal all the files here. I'll investigate them one by one!"
Internal Affairs escorted Zhang Mou out. However, the files inside hadn't been organized yet when a call came from the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion.
Chen Qiuhai frowned and answered.
The voice on the other end was arrogant. "Chen Qiuhai? I am the secretary from the Governor's Mansion. I am now giving you a verbal order: Release Zhang Mou immediately!"
What?!
Chen Qiuhai gasped. "Wait, I want to speak to the Governor himself!"
"Are you qualified? I, as the First Secretary, order you to release Zhang Mou immediately and go to the Nan County former Governor's residence to apologize! You climbed your way up step by step; don't you understand these rules?"
The other party hung up the phone directly.
Chen Qiuhai stood frozen, trembling with rage.
Even more terrifying was that the official documents were already being sent to headquarters.
The person in charge there frantically contacted Chen Qiuhai. Upon connecting, they anxiously shouted, "Officer Chen, please handle this quickly. This is an urgent dispatch! The Governor's Mansion requires you to release the person immediately and personally apologize to the former Governor of Nan County's family!"
Over there, Zhang Mou, still wearing handcuffs, got out of the car with a smile.
He raised his hands. "Officer Chen, I told you, you still have to unlock them for me personally."
