A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and Ye Fan called out, “Come in.”

The door opened, and Wang Xianzhong and Miao Jian walked in.

They saw Fang Jinsan was also in Ye Fan’s office, and they were taken aback for a moment before they remembered to close the door.

“Close the door,” Ye Fan said.

Miao Jian came to his senses and hurriedly closed the door.

“Commissar,” Wang Xianzhong and Miao Jian approached the desk and called out.

Ye Fan stood up, took out a document, and while walking out from behind the desk, he said, “I called you up here because there is something important.”

“You guys keep an eye on Fang Jinsan, don’t let him go out, and don’t let him contact the outside world,” Ye Fan continued.

Both Wang Xianzhong and Miao Jian looked confused but still responded, “Yes, Commissar.”

“I’m going to see Director Tang,” Ye Fan said, then opened the door and left the office.

As Ye Fan left, Wang Xianzhong and Miao Jian stared at Fang Jinsan.

Fang Jinsan, thinking about the consequences he was about to face, hardly noticed Wang Xianzhong and Miao Jian watching him.

“Fang Jinsan, did you betray Chen Kunfei?” Wang Xianzhong asked with a cold sneer.

Both he and Miao Jian were no fools, and they guessed that Fang Jinsan had betrayed Chen Kunfei to save himself.

They were also aware of last night’s incident where Chen Kunfei ostracized Fang Jinsan.

Fang Jinsan gave a bitter laugh and said, “No.”

“No?” Wang Xianzhong asked disbelievingly.

Miao Jian didn’t believe it either.

Fang Jinsan sighed weakly, “It was Commissar Ye who discovered the deception.

You will know the specifics very soon.”

With that, he slumped like a frostbitten eggplant onto the wooden sofa.

A few minutes later, the office door opened, and Wang Xianzhong and Miao Jian turned their heads, surprised to see Tang Xianlong walk in, followed by Ye Fan himself.

“Director Tang,” Wang Xianzhong and Miao Jian called out.

Tang Xianlong’s face looked rather grim; he responded somberly and then his gaze fell on Fang Jinsan.

Seeing Tang Xianlong looking at him, Fang Jinsan stood up and called out, “Director Tang.”

Tang Xianlong stared at Fang Jinsan for a while with a grim face, then snorted coldly, turned to Wang Xianzhong and Miao Jian, and ordered, “You two, step out for a moment.

If I don’t call for you, don’t come in!”

“Yes, Director Tang,” Wang Xianzhong and Miao Jian responded.

As Wang Xianzhong and Miao Jian left the office and closed the door, Ye Fan reached out and locked it.

Tang Xianlong walked up to Fang Jinsan, who lowered his head, not daring to meet Tang Xianlong’s eyes.

Suddenly, Tang Xianlong, overwhelmed with anger, kicked Fang Jinsan fiercely in the stomach.

Fang Jinsan was sent flying, crashing to the ground, clutching his stomach in pain and moaning quietly, not daring to cry out.

Still unsatisfied, Tang Xianlong kicked Fang Jinsan several more times before he stopped, huffing, and turned to sit down in the office chair behind the desk.

“What’s with the act?

Get over here!” Tang Xianlong shouted angrily at Fang Jinsan on the floor.

It was no wonder he was so furious; he was about to retire safely when such a scandal erupted.

Fang Jinsan got up, trembling, and walked to the front of the desk.

Next, Tang Xianlong began to reinterrogate Fang Jinsan.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Ye Fan, but the matter was of great importance, especially involving the reputation of the entire county police station, as well as his own reputation, so he had to be extremely cautious.

A few minutes later, Tang Xianlong finished interrogating Fang Jinsan, his aged face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

“Ye, cuff him!” Tang Xianlong ordered Ye Fan.

Ye Fan complied, took the handcuffs, and secured Fang Jinsan.

After handcuffing Fang Jinsan, Tang Xianlong didn’t immediately issue any other orders but pondered for a while.

“Ye, do Wang Xianzhong and Miao Jian know about this?” Tang Xianlong asked Ye Fan.

Ye Fan replied, “I just instructed him not to tell anyone.”

Tang Xianlong turned to stare at Fang Jinsan, who immediately said, “I didn’t tell them anything.”

“Hmph!” Tang Xianlong huffed coldly.

After seven or eight seconds, he finally said, “If you wish to die, then go ahead and speak out!”

Fang Jinsan shrank in fear.

Tang Xianlong stood up, walked out from behind his desk, and said to Ye Fan, “Ye, follow me to my office, and then take down Chen Kunfei.

Can you handle him?”

“No problem,” Ye Fan confidently replied.

Tang Xianlong nodded, trusting that Ye Fan could definitely do it, then he opened the door.

Wang Xianzhong and Miao Jian quickly approached from a few meters away.

Although they were waiting outside, they understood what Tang Xianlong wanted them to know, so they deliberately stayed six or seven meters away from Ye Fan’s office to avoid suspicion.

“Go in and watch Fang Jinsan closely,” Tang Xianlong ordered Wang Xianzhong and Miao Jian.

Wang Xianzhong and Miao Jian immediately complied.

Next, Ye Fan and Tang Xianlong went to Tang Xianlong’s office.

After entering the office and closing the door, Tang Xianlong patted Ye Fan on the shoulder and sighed, “To think that such a thing could happen right under my nose, it shows my oversight in choosing people.”

“Director Tang, they must have been extremely secretive.

Even Zhang Zhiyuan didn’t know, so your temporary oversight was unavoidable,” Ye Fan said.

Tang Xianlong nodded, his face looking somewhat better.

He and Chen Kunfei were indirectly related; he wasn’t the direct supervisor, so his responsibility was not substantial.

Tang Xianlong invited Ye Fan to sit on the sofa, and he sat down as well, then said earnestly, “Ye, I am old and nearing retirement.

Just as the Great Ancestor said, the world will belong to your generation.

Your transfer to our police department is an honor for us.

The department indeed needs talented individuals like you to take on greater responsibilities.”

“Director Tang, I’m new here and still have a lot to learn.

I need to keep my head down and work hard,” Ye Fan replied.

He understood that Tang Xianlong was clearly proposing a deal with him.

Tang Xianlong shook his head, “No, while others might need seven or eight years or even ten years to be truly useful, your talent obviously exceeds the ordinary.

Your rapid promotion to Major before transferring was not without reason.”

Ye Fan could only give a wry smile.

He hadn’t thought about promotion, but it seemed that Tang Xianlong was determined to strongly recommend him for the position of director as part of their deal before he left office.

“Our police department has committed a serious blunder, and as the director, I cannot avoid responsibility,” Tang Xianlong said, “But if this scandal spreads among the public, it would severely damage the police’s image.

If the people lose faith in us, serving them would become much more difficult.”

Ye Fan nodded, “I understand.”

“That’s good to hear,” Tang Xianlong said, “That gang of pickpockets must be taken in at once, and Chen Kunfei and his group must be severely punished.

However, let’s keep the details of this matter from the public.”

“I fully support your decision,” Ye Fan asserted.

“Mm, very good, you are a good comrade,” Tang Xianlong patted Ye Fan on the shoulder and breathed a sigh of relief.
