After hearing Old Chang’s words, Xia Chuyi smiled slightly.
Yes, the sky over Ling County had finally overturned.
In fact, Chang Luhui and others had come to make arrests.
"Mm, got it," Huo Shiqian nodded calmly and said, "Li Zitao, go help out."
Old Chang rubbed his head and laughed, "Thank you, commander!"
There was no way around it, during the purge, all the loyal followers of Lin Aiguo had been suspended. There were too few neutral and available personnel left, and they had all been dispatched to control and monitor the suspects.
He would take any help he could get.
After a while, a disturbance erupted from within the coal factory.
"Why are you arresting me? Do you know who I am? Where’s my uncle? My uncle is your director! If you dare to arrest me, I’ll make sure you regret it," Zhang Xiaoling shouted frantically as the police came to arrest her.
After shouting for a while and seeing that it was ineffective, Zhang Xiaoling panicked and switched to a pitiful tone, pleading, "Comrade officer, I’m so sorry, the ’Youwei’ incident wasn’t intentional. I only asked Li Cai to teach Xia Chuyi a lesson, I didn’t ask for anything severe."
"It was Li Cai, it was Li Cai’s orders!" Zhang Xiaoling vigorously pushed the blame onto Li Cai.
In fact, shortly after the incident occurred yesterday, Li Cai had been taken away by the police, and she had started to panic.
Especially after hearing that the victim was severely injured and near death, she was extremely anxious.
"Dad, Dad, save me!" Zhang Xiaoling struggled and looked around, calling out for her father.
Sure enough, Zhang Zhicheng soon arrived, but he was being personally escorted by Chang Luhui.
"Dad?" Zhang Xiaoling said uncertainly, "What are you doing? Why are you arresting my dad? My dad hasn’t done anything illegal, let him go!"
Zhang Zhicheng looked pale and helpless. Seeing Zhang Xiaoling, he couldn’t help but say to Chang Luhui, "Director Chang, my issue has nothing to do with my daughter. She doesn’t know anything. Please, let her go."
He thought he had implicated his own daughter.
Upon hearing this, Chang Luhui chuckled lightly and said, "Your issue is yours, and her issue is hers."
His words implied that the two were not arrested for the same reason.
Zhang Zhicheng was taken aback, but Zhang Xiaoling continued to scream defiantly, "Why are you arresting people randomly? I advise you to release me and my dad quickly! Otherwise, my uncle won’t let you off! Did you hear that!"
Chang Luhui gave her a disdainful look, waved his hand, and ordered, "Take her away."
Not bothering with her shouting and struggling anymore.
Zhang Xiaoling, still quite energetic, resisted like a madwoman all the way to the gate.
Little did she know that her screaming had attracted even more pointing and onlookers, truly embarrassing herself.
At the gate, Huo Shiqian and Xia Chuyi stood out with their striking presence and perfect match, standing there like cranes among chickens.
Zhang Xiaoling immediately noticed the two.
She paused, as if realizing something, and her face turned deathly pale.
"It’s you... it’s you!"
After a burst of agitation, her expression distorted, and she said, "Xia Chuyi, it was you, you seduced a high-ranking military officer, disregarded the law to frame my father, you vixen, you bitch..."
A piercing cold light flashed in Huo Shiqian’s eyes, directed at her.
The temperature at the scene plummeted.
Zhang Xiaoling shivered involuntarily, stopped talking, and dared not look at her any longer.
However, seeing Xia Chuyi standing demurely in front of Huo Shiqian while she and her father were treated like criminals, her expression gradually became deranged.
