Chapter 378 - 377, Powerless
Sun Zhaoqiang was the deputy chief of the Lianyun County Public Security Bureau, but due to health issues, he had been recuperating at home, spending his days fishing and strolling birds. Life was rather leisurely.
Although he was the deputy chief of the bureau, his power was quite limited because Wang Zhengjun held all the authority. As a result, he was not respected within the bureau.
This was why he claimed sick leave to recuperate at home, hoping to quietly get through these last years and make it to retirement.
He appeared to lack ambition, but Bai Lu knew that Sun Zhaoqiang was an ambitious person who never had the chance to showcase his abilities.
It was precisely because of this that she wanted to find Sun Zhaoqiang. If he intervened forcefully in this case, it might save Xu Wendong.
Otherwise, Wang Zhengjun would surely force Xu Wendong to plead guilty, and by then, Xu Wendong could either receive a life sentence or face execution.
"Chief Bai, what brings you here?" Sun Zhaoqiang asked with a smile as he looked at Bai Lu. Although he was not yet sixty, his hair was completely white, making him appear rather aged.
Bai Lu got straight to the point, "Chief Sun, have you heard about the case at the bus stop of route 18 at Jinxiu Qiancheng?"
Sun Zhaoqiang frowned, "What case?"
Bai Lu relayed Xu Wendong’s case.
Sun Zhaoqiang was shocked upon hearing it, then he sighed, "You know my situation. In the past two years, my health has deteriorated, and I’ve long stopped getting involved in work matters. If you hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have known about the case."
