Chapter 262: Chapter 262: How did you get in here?_1

After arranging things with Tong Xiong, Mo Shaoyun and Buckteeth Zhou avoided any delay, and immediately headed for the municipal public security bureau in their car.

Upon arrival, they saw Zheng Youhua rushing out of the building.

Buckteeth Zhou, noticing Zheng Youhua’s haste, asked, "Director Zheng, what’s going on...?"

"There’s been a disaster, a major disaster." Zheng Youhua said, "Somehow, Secretary Qian is being investigated, and he’s accused of embezzling a million in cash."

Mo Shaoyun exclaimed in surprise, "A million?"

Buckteeth Zhou asked, "How could this happen? I thought Secretary Qian was a clean and selfless official. How could he have embezzled a million in cash?"

Zheng Youhua said, "I’m not sure about the specifics. However, the prosecuting attorney’s office has issued an arrest warrant for Secretary Qian and requested us to arrest him immediately. I was just on my way to find him."

Buckteeth Zhou said, "Wait, you’re the director of the Public Security Bureau. Doesn’t what you say hold weight?"

"Buddy, each entity, the police, the prosecutor, and the courts, has its own role. We, the police, are only in charge of arrests, the rest is decided by the Procuratorate."

Zheng Youhua, frustrated, said, "Secretary Qian has allies in the Procuratorate. However, since the Procuratorate has issued an arrest warrant, it suggests that they have enough evidence to prove Secretary Qian’s guilt."

"How could this happen?" Mo Shaoyun’s eyebrows furrowed in worry.

They had originally found evidence of Tan Xiaofu’s guilt and had planned to use it, through Zheng Youhua and Secretary Qian, to bring down Tan Yaowei.

To her surprise, before they could present their evidence, Secretary Qian was arrested. Losing their protective umbrella of Secretary Qian, how could they fight against Tan Yaowei?

Zheng Youhua turned to Mo Shaoyun and Buckteeth Zhou and asked, "Did you come to see Zhang Xian?"

Mo Shaoyun said, "We have found evidence of Tan Xiaofu’s attempt to frame Zhang Xian. But with Secretary Qian being arrested, our evidence might not have any use now."

"Um..." Zheng Youhua hesitated and sighed. "Indeed, once Secretary Qian falls, the final say in Tiandu will solely be Tan Yaowei’s, your evidence won’t be able to reach that far."

Buckteeth Zhou asked, "So what do we do now?"

Zheng Youhua said, "Let’s go find Secretary Qian first, see what he has to say."

Mo Shaoyun and Buckteeth Zhou nodded in agreement, and all three of them got into the BMW and headed straight to Qian Bo’s home.

......

At the Qian’s residence in TianDu city.

Qian Duoduo was dumbfounded when she learned that her grandfather had been accused of embezzling a million in cash.

A million, what was the concept?

Mrs. Qian sat on the sofa, her face pale, and remained silent for a long time.

Interestingly, it was all because of her. If she hadn’t accepted that million from the deputy director of the Land and Resources Bureau, they wouldn’t be in this situation.

Qian Bo didn’t seem too worried though, and sat on the sofa as if it were a usual day.

Mrs. Qian glanced at Qian Bo and said, "Old man, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have..."

"You can’t blame yourself for this; our enemy just played dirty." Qian Bo showed no signs of blaming Mrs. Qian.

Qian Duoduo said, "Grandma, don’t blame yourself. At the time, you were just concerned about Grandpa’s safety; you didn’t really want that money."

"But..." Mrs. Qian started crying as she spoke.

The deputy director of the Land and Resources Bureau had also been arrested. He had admitted to the bribery charge and the police had found the illicit money at their house. The fact that her husband had embezzled money was set in stone.

"Secretary Qian, Secretary Qian..."

Suddenly, someone was knocking and shouting from outside the door.

Qian Duoduo ran to the door, and upon seeing Zheng Youhua standing outside, asked, "Uncle Zheng, have you... come to arrest my grandpa?"

"I..." Zheng Youhua was at a loss for words.

As the director of the Public Security Bureau, he was required to arrest Secretary Qian. This was a command from his superiors, and he had no choice but to comply.

Qian Duoduo anxiously said, "Uncle Zheng, my grandpa didn’t embezzle any money, he was framed."

Zheng Youhua said, "Duoduo, I know that Secretary Qian would never embezzle money. However, the higher-ups have issued an arrest order, and I need to follow the procedure."

Qian Duoduo said, "I will not let you arrest my grandpa, you cannot arrest him."

"Cough, cough..." Qian Bo sternly said, "Duoduo, you’re a law enforcement officer yourself, how could you say something like that? Until we have enough evidence to the contrary, I’m an embezzlement suspect."

Qian Duoduo said, "Grandpa ..."

"Be quiet ..." Qian Bo interrupted Qian Duoduo and said, "Director Zheng, since you’re here, cuff me!"

Zheng Youhua said, "Secretary Qian, are you kidding me? I didn’t bring anyone with me, how could I cuff you? Let’s just go quietly. Whoever dares to cuff you, I’ll give them a piece of my mind. "

Qian Bo glanced at Zheng Youhua, nodded, and stood up.

Upon seeing Mo Shaoyun, he asked with a puzzled look, "Aren’t you Zhang Xian’s fiancée? Why are you here? I’m no longer the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. "

"I..." Mo Shaoyun hesitated for a moment, "Secretary Qian, do you still have any connections?"

Qian Bo asked, "What do you mean?"

Mo Shaoyun said, "I have evidence of a crime committed by Tan Yaowei’s son in my possession. If you still have connections, we may be able to turn the tables."

Qian Bo looked at Mo Shaoyun meaningfully, and asked, "What sort of evidence?"

"The evidence that Tan Xiaofu framed Zhang Xian," said Mo Shaoyun. "Of course, it’s related to Secretary Qian, but adding a charge of attempted murder or even attempted rape is not out of the question."

Qian Bo smiled and asked Mo Shaoyun, "Shaoyun, do you feel any pressure being with Zhang Xian?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Mo Shaoyun was confused.

Qian Bo chuckled, "You are clever, you know how to think laterally, which is rare. Despite the mess I’m in, you are thinking beyond the present situation, far more than the average person would."

"I..." Mo Shaoyun felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Ha ha, well played, like performing a lateral move to save Zhao in a tight siege," Qian Bo laughed heartily. "Rather than thinking about how to rescue me, you are thinking about how to strike at Tan Yaowei. Quite the strategy!"

Mo Shaoyun felt a bit awkward, "Actually, I do not fully understand the workings of the officialdom, I just happen to have in contact with it occasionally. Under current conditions, as long as you, Secretary Qian, exercise your influence, it is possible to temporarily suppress matters. After I throw out the evidence in my hands, Tan Xiaofu will surely be arrested, and as Tan Xiaofu’s father, plus your connections, Tan Yaowei will inevitably be subjected to investigation."

"By then, I believe Tan Yaowei will hardly have the leisure to contend with you, which will give us more time to gather evidence."

Qian Bo nodded, saying, "Indeed, we should head to the municipal bureau first."

...

Tiandu City, Municipal Public Security Bureau.

When Zhang Xian saw Qian Bo, he laughed, "Secretary Qian, have you been brought in too? Ha ha..."

Qian Bo was speechless for a while seeing Zhang Xian laughing so joyfully.

Was this guy actually on his side? Or was he seemingly on Tan Yaowei’s side? Otherwise, why would he be laughing so happily?

"You... why are you laughing?" Mo Shaoyun walked over and fiercely tugged at the soft fat on Zhang Xian’s waist.

"Hiss..." Zhang Xian gasped and grumbled, "Wife, when did you become fond of violence? Who’d you learn it from?"

Mo Shaoyun responded, "Who made you laugh so happily at a time like this?"

Zhang Xian smirked, "Wife, give me a kiss."

"You..." Mo Shaoyun was both embarrassed and angry, wishing she could step forward and slap Zhang Xian hard twice.

What was happening now? Did Zhang Xian still have the mood to joke around? Even though she had a plan to retaliate against Tan Yaowei, it was not certain to succeed. If the plan failed, both Zhang Xian and Secretary Qian would meet their downfall.

This was not an occasion to be romantic.

Qian Bo, Zheng Youhua, and Buckteeth Zhou were left speechless for a while. Only an oddball like Zhang Xian could still laugh at a time like this.

Zhang Xian chuckled, "Alright, enough of the joking, who will tell me how old man Qian got in here?"

"Ah, I suppose I’ll tell it myself!" Qian Bo recounted the sequence of events.

"Is Tan Yaowei that formidable?" Zhang Xian frowned, then asked, "How about I deal with it? Continuing this way does not seem to be a solution!"

Qian Bo chuckled, "What’s your plan?"

Zhang Xian snorted, "Just one Tan Yaowei? Taking him down isn’t a difficult task for me."

Mo Shaoyun said, "Less bragging, we can handle this. You stay put and behave. Don’t think I don’t know what you intend to do if you get out. You’re not allowed to make trouble."

Seeing his wife objecting, Zhang Xian no longer insisted on dealing with Tan Yaowei.

Qian Bo gave Zhang Xian a glance, instructing, "Enough chatting for now, let’s discuss our specific plan. Zhang Xian, you should be released soon."

...

Later that night, after dinner.

Mo Shaoyun leaned her tired body back home.

Xiao Nan saw Mo Shaoyun and stood up to greet her. "You’re back. How did it go?"

Mo Shaoyun provided a small smile, "It’s a bit challenging. Currently, the situation is somewhat against us and is becoming increasingly complicated."

Zhu Qing asked, "What happened?"

Xiao Nan replied, "Nothing much, just some issues at the construction site. The main framework is near completion, but there’re some complications."

"Oh, that!" Zhu Qing wasn’t interested in the matters at the construction site, he pulled Mo Shaoyun and asked, "Elder Sister Shaoyun, have you run into Zhang Xian recently? We haven’t heard from him in days."

Mo Shaoyun replied, "He’s... as usual, he doesn’t dare to come back for now."

Zhu Qing grinded his teeth, "That jerk really grinds my gears, we are worried sick at home, while he might be enjoying his life outside."

"I’m a bit tired, I’ll go upstairs to rest for a while," Mo Shaoyun massaged her temples and headed to the upper floor.

Xiao Nan smiled and followed her upstairs.

After entering the room and closing the door, she asked, "Shaoyun, didn’t you guys already find the evidence? Why is the situation becoming more complicated?"

Mo Shaoyun sighed, "Everything was going smoothly, but there was an unexpected turn of events that’s quite unfavorable to us. That fellow, Tan Yaowei, actually schemed to get Secretary Qian arrested."

"What?" Xiao Nan was surprised, "If even Secretary Qian has been arrested, what are we to use to fight against Tan Yaowei?"

"There shouldn’t be a big issue," Mo Shaoyun stated, "Secretary Qian is the city’s Party Secretary, the provincial government will definitely intervene in such a big matter. We have Secretary Sun."

Xiao Nan gave a bitter smile, "Indeed, trouble comes in waves."

Mo Shaoyun added, "It’s alright, we can take it slow, I don’t believe Tan Yaowei can ensure everything goes his way. Soon, he will have a headache."
