Super Soldier in the City

Qian Liben immediately frowned. He had already given Lin Qiong enough face by not pursuing the issue of her hitting Zhao Tao, but Lin Qiong still didn’t know when to stop. His face darkened instantly as he said, "Lin Qiong, you need to know when to advance and when to retreat. This is our Qingping Branch Bureau, and it’s not your turn as the head of a police station to direct our work here."

Lin Qiong knew that Qian Liben was angry, and she calmed down a bit, replying, "Deputy Director Qian, I am not qualified to direct work here, but as a police officer, I cannot just watch my colleague engaging in coerced confessions, which is a violation of law by those who enforce it. For the reputation of our police force and the image of our officers in the eyes of the people, that’s why I need to be here."

Qian Liben said sternly, "This matter will be dealt with by the leadership of our sub-bureau."

Lin Qiong still didn’t want to leave, but suddenly there was noise at the door, and two people walked in. One was a man under thirty, brimming with pride, and the other a man in his fifties. Lin Qiong had seen the older man before; he was none other than Sunx Zhengjun, the chief of this sub-bureau.

And naturally, the young man was Song Ziqiao. Yesterday, he had been embarrassed by Li Yifei, who damaged his oil tank, forcing him to stop at sea. In the end, it was only after the speedboat’s driver called for help that several other speedboats came to take Song Ziqiao and his companions away. Song Ziqiao even compensated for two speedboats; otherwise, those people wouldn’t have let them go.

Arrogant as Song Ziqiao might be, he wouldn’t stoop to dine and dash. After all, he wasn’t just some street thug, and naturally, he blamed Li Yifei for his losses. Upon returning, he found Qian Liben and had him arrest Li Yifei immediately.

Qian Liben had served as deputy director for some years and recently saw an opportunity to climb higher up the ladder. However, he lacked connections until he met Song Ziqiao, who represented a great opportunity to advance. He had to cling tightly to those coattails, so when Song Ziqiao mentioned the matter, he wasted no time and immediately led a team today to arrest Li Yifei.

Today, Song Ziqiao had come specifically to see Li Yifei. After being humiliated by Li Yifei twice, he finally had the chance to get back at him, and there was no way he would miss the opportunity to witness Li Yifei’s downfall and sneer at him in person, to vent the frustration in his heart.

Given his status and background, even the Qingping Sub-bureau chief dared not disrespect him. Knowing Song Ziqiao was coming, he immediately accompanied him over. Even though he knew there was something fishy about the case, he had to go along with Song Ziqiao’s wishes because if he didn’t show due consideration for Song Ziqiao, and Song Ziqiao bore a grudge, then it could be quite easy for Song Ziqiao to make things difficult for him. It wouldn’t be so easy for him to advance further if Song Ziqiao decided to make him wear "small shoes."

Full of excitement, Song Ziqiao arrived at the interrogation room, eager to see Li Yifei’s sorry state, but upon entering, he was surprised to see so many people there. Especially when he saw Li Yifei, although handcuffed, was nonchalantly smoking a cigarette, which infuriated him further.
