Having made up his mind, Cheng Du strode out.

Jingzhou City, Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Yi Xuexi sat in his simple, even somewhat old, director's office, his brows furrowed.

The case files related to Gao Xiaoqin's case were spread out on the table.

This case was like a hot potato, and he held onto it for almost a year.

The pressure of prolonged detention is like a boulder hanging over one's head.

He wasn't unaware of the seriousness of the problem, nor did he want to close the case.

However, this case involves too many people. Behind the Shanshui Group is the fallen Zhao family, and Gao Xiaoqin has an unclear relationship with Qi Tongwei, the current director of the provincial department.

A single move affects the whole body!

He is known for being a hothead, daring to argue and contradict, but he is not without political wisdom.

He had been waiting.

Waiting for the dust to settle and the truth to come out, or rather, waiting for a decision of sufficient weight.

Now that Zhao Lichun has fallen, it seems the time has come.

But just at this crucial moment, Zhong Xiaoai, the deputy secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission with a powerful background, was parachuted in!

Yi Xuexi rubbed his throbbing temples, a growing sense of impending doom growing stronger.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door, with an undeniable urgency.

The secretary pushed open the door and came in, looking somewhat nervous.

"Director Yi, Director Cheng Du from the Provincial Public Security Bureau has arrived. He says he wants to interrogate Gao Xiaoqin, and his attitude is very tough."

A glint of light flashed in Yi Xuexi's eyes.

Sure enough, it came!

Qi Tongwei acted even faster than he had expected!

He stood up abruptly and said in a deep voice, "Tell him to wait for me in the reception room!"

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art.

Anti-Corruption Bureau Reception Room.

Cheng Du stood in the center of the room, his sharp eyes fixed on Yi Xuexi sitting opposite him.

Two provincial police officers stood behind him, their expressions solemn.

"Director Yi."

The volume of the sound is not high, nor is the level high.

But behind him stood Qi Tongwei.

Member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee! Deputy Provincial-level cadre!

Full of confidence!

"After a thorough review and verification by the Provincial Public Security Department's Criminal Investigation Division, new and significant leads have been discovered in several economic cases involving Gao Xiaoqin, which are directly related to the core inside information of the Shanshui Group that she revealed!"

"The case has taken a major turn; the provincial department has decided to open a case for in-depth investigation! This is the case opening decision and the interrogation procedures!"

Cheng Du handed a document bearing the bright red seal of the provincial department to Yi Xuexi on the coffee table in front of him.

But on the other side.

Yi Xuexi didn't look at the document; his gaze calmly met Cheng Du's eyes.

He slowly took a sip of tea before speaking.

His voice carried a calmness and stubbornness honed from his grassroots experience.

"Director Cheng, the Gao Xiaoqin case was investigated and transferred by our Anti-Corruption Bureau for review and prosecution."

"The case is still in the process of our provincial procuratorate, and the case file has not yet been fully transferred to the court."

"The provincial department is suddenly saying they want to reopen the case and investigate it?"

Yi Xuexi put down his teacup, leaned forward slightly, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Isn't this against the rules? What are you trying to investigate? Do you not trust the investigative capabilities of our Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Municipal Procuratorate, or do you think there's some inside story we haven't uncovered?"

"Or perhaps you have other ideas?!"

"Besides."

Yi Xuexi's voice suddenly rose, and he said in a questioning tone, "Gao Xiaoqin has been detained here for almost a year. We have already asked her everything that needed to be asked!"

"Where were you all this time, provincial department? Now that Zhao Lichun has fallen, you're jumping out to demand his release? The timing is just too coincidental!"

The last sentence almost bluntly exposed Cheng Du's, or rather Qi Tongwei's, intentions!

Cheng Du's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

He never expected that Yi Xuexi, this simpleton, would be so direct and ruthless!

"Comrade Yi Xuexi!"

Du Cheng's voice suddenly rose, filled with suppressed anger.

"Please watch your words!"

"The provincial department is handling this case; it's not your place to question it! This is necessary for the work! There have been new developments in the case!"

"The Gao Xiaoqin case involves the transfer of core interests within Zhao Lichun's group, and the case is significant and complex!"

"With the provincial department handling the case together, it's more efficient and easier to thoroughly investigate the entire case!"

Cheng Du wanted to use harsh words to force Yi Xuexi to make concessions.

But on the other side.

Don't try to accuse me of something I shouldn't!

Yi Xuexi, however, did not back down and suddenly slammed his hand on the coffee table and stood up.

"I, Yi Xuexi, handle cases according to the law and am worthy of this uniform!"

"The case file for Gao Xiaoqin is right here! If your provincial department wants to review it, you can!"

"To supplement the investigative leads, please provide official documentation for assistance!"

"But you want to bypass our anti-corruption bureau and the provincial procuratorate and take the suspect away directly?"

Easy to learn is decisive and resolute.

"no way!"

The two glared at each other, their tension palpable!

The room reeked of gunpowder!

Just as the two sides were about to start arguing, at that moment...

The door to the reception room was suddenly pushed open from the outside!

Qi Tongwei appeared at the door!

Chapter 336 Zhong Xiaoai's Obstruction!

His face was expressionless, only displaying a calm composure befitting someone long accustomed to a high position, exuding authority without anger.

Qi Tongwei walked in calmly.

His gaze, almost tangible, swept over the tense atmosphere between Yi Xuexi and Cheng Du in an instant.

"What's the noise about?"

Qi Tongwei's voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.

Cheng Du immediately fell silent, straightened his back, and saluted: "Director!"

Yi Xuexi's anger subsided somewhat, but he still stood ramrod straight, his gaze meeting Qi Tongwei's without flinching.

"Director Qi."

His address carried a businesslike detachment.

Qi Tongwei walked between the two, his gaze landing on Yi Xuexi's face.

"Director Yi, the provincial department took over Gao Xiaoqin's case not because they didn't trust your work."

Qi Tongwei's voice was steady and calm.

"But we have just obtained new, irrefutable evidence that is enough to change the nature of the case!"

As he spoke, Qi Tongwei took out a thick, worn-out photocopy of a case file from his briefcase.

He flipped the file to a specific page and pushed it in front of Yi Xuexi.

The above is a transcript of Zhao Ruilong's interrogation during the initial period of his criminal detention by the provincial authorities!
