Chapter 337: Chapter 337 Owe You All an Explanation

"Brother-in-law?"

Director Geng’s face changed, his expression turned serious. What did this mean? Was the Zhao Family now related to Director Zhang from the Wu’an Bureau?

Not only was Director Geng shocked, but even the officers beside him were stunned. Everyone looked at the previously unruly Qin Lan, who now had to swallow her pride. Someone said, "The Director of Wu’an Bureau, Director Zhang, is not someone to mess with. A higher-official can crush you."

"I’ve heard that Director Zhang is very domineering. If you anger him, you won’t have a good ending."

"The Zhao Family has found a backer!"

"Director Zhang’s son is only 20 years old. Isn’t it too early for him to marry Miss Zhao?"

Someone whispered.

Qin Lan stood in the middle of the crowd, holding her chin up as she enjoyed the looks of envy and awe from everyone. She felt quite pleased with herself, thinking that with Director Zhang backing them, the Zhao Family could walk unopposed not just in Furong County, but even in Hengshui City.

"Didn’t you hear? It’s ’brother-in-law’!"

"It means Miss Zhao is marrying Director Zhang!"

"What?"

"Director Zhang could be Miss Zhao’s father. Isn’t the Zhao Family selling their daughter for glory? Tsk tsk..."

"I’ve heard that Qin Lan isn’t even Miss Zhao’s biological mother..."

"Really?"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, casting disdainful glances at Qin Lan, gossiping about the Zhao Family.

Every word of this talk reached Qin Lan’s ears, making her so angry that her face twisted and her teeth gnashed. She roared at the crowd, "A bunch of sour grapes! Get out of here!"

"If anyone dares to talk again, I’ll tear their mouth apart! Shut up!"

"Hahaha..."

Seeing Qin Lan furious like a crazy woman only made the onlookers laugh. There were just too many people, and brave only when she could insult them.

Director Geng turned to the officer behind him and asked, "Have the investigators returned?"

"They have."

"They’ve been waiting on the side for a while," the officer said, immediately making space so the returning investigators could stand next to Director Geng.

Amid the constant noise, Director Geng had a moment to get an update on the situation.

A middle-aged policeman in his thirties stepped forward and greeted familiarly, "Boss."

Director Geng nodded, "Is Chen Dashan really dead? Did you see anyone?"

"No, the taxi was found downstream. I inspected it. There must have been a serious accident before the event. The vehicle was deformed, and it fell from the bridge."

Director Geng’s pupils narrowed, realizing this wasn’t simple.

He cast a sharp look at Qin Lan, who was defying everyone, and said, "The Zhao Family has Director Zhang from the Wu’an Bureau supporting them. Now it depends on County Magistrate Zhu’s stance since we must not offend him as we see each other often in Furong County."

The middle-aged policeman nodded.

After a moment of thought, he continued, "There’s another tricky matter. We found Sun Aoxue’s belongings in the car. I suspect Officer Sun was also in the taxi during the accident."

"What?"

Director Geng’s pupils contracted as he widened his eyes at the officer. "Are you sure? Where is Sun Aoxue? If it’s really her, this is a big problem. Notify everyone at the bureau immediately to search along the Wei River."

Director Geng hadn’t even finished his instructions when a deep male voice came from the entrance, "Director Geng, you must stand up for us. Chen Dashan is lawless. Last time, he seriously injured me over the Hengda Film City matter. Such a man is the black force of Furong County. We victims can’t accept his protection."

"Yes, Chen Dashan used his medical skills to deceive rich single women. The entire Furong County knows this."

Yan Dazhi and his son Yan Shao had rushed over from home, following and pleading behind Qin Lan.

Even the head of the Xue Family, Xue Wenzheng, arrived at the scene. He stepped forward and said to Director Geng, "My daughter Xue Mengyu was bewitched by Chen Dashan and has been missing since. Director Geng, I can guarantee Zhao Qiqiang is innocent and a good person. Chen Dashan slept with my daughter; how could Zhao Qiqiang, as her fiancé, not stand up for her?"

"Without Chen Dashan’s tumor, how could Furong County have so many problems?"

Xue Wenzheng, heartbroken, seemed like a father whose daughter had been taken away, acting humble and regretful, following behind Qin Lan like an attendant.

Director Geng frowned and remained silent.

A reporter asked, "Director Geng, you aren’t speaking because you’re afraid of the people behind Chen Dashan, right?"

"Or is it that the person behind Chen Dashan is you, Director Geng?"

"What do you think of Chen Dashan’s actions? Can you say something about it, Director Geng?"

"Regarding Chen Dashan’s rape case, the evidence is conclusive. Why was Chen Dashan released yesterday by the police? You owe us an explanation, Director Geng."

Reporters barraged with questions, pushing him to the brink.

Director Geng, overwhelmed, looked at the cameras and countless lenses. For the first time, he felt the Zhao Family’s power. They could ruin someone’s reputation through the media and paid influencers, destroying them without a trace.

"The police stations are only places to detain suspects, not judge them!"

A clear female voice drew everyone’s attention. They turned to see a tall woman in black, walking briskly towards them, with delicate features and gold-rimmed glasses. She exuded a mix of sternness and allure, her figure appealing and her aloof temperament captivating.

Every man present swallowed hard.

Someone excitedly said, "It’s Han Yifei, the top lawyer in Furong County! I’ve finally seen her in person. She’s gorgeous!"

"Mom, I’m in love. My heart is racing. I feel like I’ve reached my peak..."

Amidst the men’s fervent gazes, Han Yifei approached, handing documents to Director Geng, saying, "Even if Chen Dashan is dead, the evidence against Zhao Qiqiang is irrefutable. Just because the plaintiff meets with an accident, doesn’t mean the defendant can go unpunished. On behalf of my client, I continue to demand the detention of Zhao Qiqiang until the verdict is given!"

"What does this have to do with you?"

"You little vixen! You’re just in cahoots with Chen Dashan. You can’t trust her. She’s a deceitful fox spirit!" Qin Lan screamed.

Han Yifei turned slightly, her wavy hair gently moving in the wind. Without changing her expression, she smirked, "Miss Qin Lan, your insults in public have caused me mental distress. Everyone here is my witness. You must take responsibility for your words."

"You... you..."

Qin Lan, pointing at Han Yifei with a shaking finger, was so angry that she felt a surge of blood in her chest.

Director Geng was in a dilemma, unsure how to handle the situation after careful consideration.

"Beep beep beep..."

The urgent sound of a horn came from the road beside the police station. A jeep stopped at the entrance, and a middle-aged man with a big belly got out. Someone said, "It’s Director Zhang from the Wu’an Bureau!"
