"I don't know, I'm just a security guard and don't get involved with this!"

The old man took the cigarette given to him by Lu Jianhong and puffed contentedly. After exhaling a ring of smoke, he said.

"Take these cigarettes, I'll go in and look around!" Lu Jianhong placed an entire box of cigarettes on the security guard's desk.

"Ah... come back here! The boss just called today, no one is allowed to enter!" Seeing that Lu Jianhong was about to walk inside after leaving the cigarette box, the old man rushed over and said.

"Oh, uncle, do you know why people aren't allowed in" Upon hearing this from the old man, Lu Jianhong stopped in his tracks with concern.

Lu Jianhong was currently very nervous. He had a feeling that something must be related to Xiao Yu.

The old man stuck his head out and looked around before remaining silent.

Seeing the look on the old man's face, Lu Jianhong took out 100 yuan from his bag and handed it to him, saying, "Uncle, keep this. Buy yourself a pack of cigarettes."

The old man didn't speak but stared at Lu Jianhong's bag.

Lu Jianhong was well-versed in the ways of the system and had served as a secretary, so he had an eye for such matters. He knew what was going on by looking at the security guard’s reaction and took out some cash from his bag to place it on the old man's desk.

The old man looked at the pile of money on the table. It seemed like there was at least a thousand yuan, causing him to immediately smile contentedly as he picked up the money and put it in his pocket.

"You see, today, Liang Jun from Deputy Bureau Director Liu's family got into trouble. The chief just brought him back. Soon, Deputy Director Liu will come over to see how things are handled,"

After looking around and confirming that nobody was paying attention, the old man whispered this to Lu Jianhong.

"A pity... a real shame..." After saying this, the old man sat back down with a headshake, expressing his regret.

Seeing the old man's appearance, Lu Jianhong was moved and took out several banknotes to put on the table in front of him. He said, "Sir, could you tell me why it’s a pity"

Hearing what the old man had said, Lu Jianhong knew that this person must be Xiao Yu. The young man was so arrogant just now; he couldn't have done that without some kind of background. Moreover, he also heard from his wife and Yunxi about what happened. He knew those youngsters deliberately dropped the camera on the ground and claimed it was them who knocked it down to ask for compensation.

The old man saw the money on the table and smiled as he said, "Given Director Liu's personality of protecting his own people, that young fellow will be in trouble once caught here. He might not die but definitely lose a layer of skin. Moreover, this time it’s because Director Liu’s son suffered an injustice!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jianhong was anxious and took out another stack of money to hand over to the old man. "Sir, could you let me in since I’m a relative of the involved party We should try negotiating."

"Then wait for a moment; I’ll give them a call. Whether they allow me to enter or not is up to them and not my decision!" After looking at the money he held, the old man said that to Lu Jianhong.

After finishing speaking, the old man picked up the phone to dial out; soon after hanging up, he shook his head at Lu Jianhong. "No can do, sir said this person is suspected of intentional injury, assaulting a police officer, and attempting to snatch a policeman’s firearm. He cannot be visited during interrogation."

"Sir, here's my identification card. Could you give him another call"

Lu Jianhong was alarmed upon hearing what the old man said; he quickly took out his ID from his bag and handed it to the guard, hoping that his identity might help.

The old man received Lu Jianhong's work certificate and glanced at him before picking up the phone again.

A moment later, after hanging up the call, he returned the work certificate to Lu Jianhong. After looking into the police station for a while, he said, "That middle-aged policeman over there is our Chief Zhang; you can go talk to him."

Seeing an officer in his forties walking out of the police station's main building, the old man pointed at the officer and indicated to Lu Jianhong.

Lou Jianhong followed where the old man was pointing and saw a middle-aged policeman; he hurriedly walked over.

"Chief Zhang, I am here as a relative of the involved party. Here is my ID," said Lu Jianhong as he handed his certificate to the middle-aged officer.

The mid-aged police officer took the identification document from Lu Jianhong and glanced at it before returning it to him. "Director Lu, your relative's crime is quite serious; I'm sorry but I can't assist."

Lu Jianhong’s current position was the Deputy Director of the City Party Committee Office in Gucheng City. Generally speaking, this post would be reserved for the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee's personal secretary, so the police officer still spoke politely to him. However, since he wasn’t from Gucheng and there was a sense of superiority among locals towards those from inland areas, they were merely polite in their speech toward Lu Jianhong.

Even if it was polite, the conversation immediately shut down any attempt by Lu Jianhong to intercede on someone's behalf.

Naturally, Lu Jianhong understood what they meant; after all, this was in the deep sea. If they were in an ancient city, even a director of public security would treat him with utmost respect.

"Captain Zhang, could you let me see Xiao Yu for a moment"

Lu Jianhong knew that pleading on someone's behalf wouldn't work, so he decided to meet with Xiao Yu himself. He wanted to see who Xiao Yu knew here. As far as police station dealings were concerned, he was well aware of the rules; while torture wasn't supposed to be used, it certainly did happen.

"No way! Before we have a full investigation, nobody can meet with him!" The middle-aged policeman's tone was firm and left no room for negotiation.

Although Lu Jianhong might carry some weight, he had no authority in the deep sea. However, Director Liu could decide on such matters. None of those who had offended Prince Liu were able to leave unscathed. Furthermore, both he and his men suffered injuries they wouldn't easily recover from.

"Director Lu, your family has offended someone they shouldn’t have; we can’t help you in this situation! You know the system well enough to understand our difficulties!" The middle-aged policeman saw that Lu Jianhong was about to say something else and preemptively stated this. After finishing his statement, he ignored Lu Jianhong and returned inside.

Seeing there were no chances for a change of heart, Lu Jianhong left the police station and got into his car.

Lu Jianhong informed Xiao Yu and Yunxi about what happened. Both women immediately became anxious. Xiao Yu quickly dialed her mother to inform her of the situation.

In their villa, Xie Jianying was chatting with Jin Xianglin's family in the living room when she received a call from her daughter. After hanging up, she turned pale and said to Jin Xianglin: "Little Jin, my son has been arrested by the police station; use your car to take me there. I'll see who dares harm my son! If they provoke me, I won't hesitate to turn the deep sea upside down!"

Although Xiao Jianying was strict with her children, she deeply cared for them as their only support in life. Moreover, she knew all about what had transpired.

Xiao Yu's essential personality resembled his mother’s; they both valued their family immensely and wouldn't tolerate anyone harming their loved ones, especially not their son and daughter-in-law.

"Yes, Miss Xie!"

Jin Xianglin saw Xiao Jianying in her current state and recalled the old days when she was as fierce and decisive. Thus, he answered without hesitation.

Seeing Xiao Yu call her mother, Lu Jianhong slapped his forehead in realization and quickly dialed a number from memory.

Lu Jianhong dialed a private number of Wan Hongguang, which was given to him before he came to Deep Sea. The number was supposed to help Lu Jianhong in case there were any unsolvable issues.

"Secretary Wan, Xiao Yu has been arrested by the police station here in Deep Sea..." After answering the phone, Lu Jianhong quickly explained everything that had happened.

"Understood!"

After listening to all of it from Lu Jianhong, Wan Hongguang simply said this and hung up the call.

The moment Wan Hongguang was sitting in his office with a phone in hand, deep in thought. Two people were reporting work to him, but seeing that he had taken a call and was now lost in thought, they tactfully left, closing the door behind them.

Wan Hongguang pondered for a moment, realizing that his influence wasn’t substantial within Deep Sea. So, he picked up his phone again to call Song Shanshan, whose family’s power surpassed anything he could compare himself with.

After calling Song Shanshan, Wan Hongguang suddenly remembered one of his classmates in the Party School was stationed in Guangdong Province. He then pulled out his address book and made a phone call to this classmate.

This classmate of Wan Hongguang’s was the Deputy Secretary-General of the Guangdong Provincial Committee. Knowing that Wan Hongguang had substantial backing, he received Wan's call with enthusiasm and readily agreed to assist after hearing what Wan needed help with.

In his mind, it couldn’t be a big deal for a small police station. How could this require him as Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Committee to intervene Therefore, after making a phone call to one of his friends in Deep Sea, he no longer thought about the matter further.

"Damn, even a petty district chief has eaten lion’s heart and tiger liver" Upon hanging up from Wan Hongguang's call, Song Shanshan said resentfully.

"Hello, Brother Chu, this is Tiger Mountain speaking!" After finishing his words, he immediately dialed another number. Once connected, he spoke.

"Brother Tiger Mountain, what brings you to call me at this hour" A steady and cheerful laughter came through the phone line.

"Brother Chu, my brother Xiao Yu has been arrested by one of your East District police stations in Deep Sea. I hope that he will receive fair treatment there!"

Song Shanshan said coolly.

The person Song Shanshan was calling at this moment was precisely the Secretary of the Municipal Committee, Chu Guoqing. Back then, it was through Chu Guoqing’s assistance that Song Shanshan had arranged for Xiao Yu to obtain his medical practice certificate.ou want to teach me also like this Are they similar to the martial arts that actors in TV shows perform" Dai Yuxin knelt before Xiao Yu and asked curiously upon hearing his words.The matter mentioned...
