Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Sin Unbounded

"Mayor Lu’s point makes sense. I’ll leave it to Mayor Lu to assign someone for the investigation; I’ll head home and wait for the news!"

Shen Dongxing said as he strode out, hurrying to leave the "Dihao Entertainment Club."

With years of experience under his belt, Shen Dongxing knew that Cheng Dihaou revealing so much about him had certainly aroused Lu Xinghe’s suspicions. If Lu Xinghe decided to launch an investigation, all the dealings between him and Cheng Dihaou would be thoroughly exposed, and everything would be over.

The reason Shen Dongxing was so eager to leave was that he feared being caught once his crimes were revealed.

After two decades in the police force, Shen Dongxing was painfully aware of his own wrongdoings. If caught, he would undoubtedly face a severe sentence and might even die in prison. Despite the Shen Family’s influence in Huaxia, they wouldn’t be able to save him.

Hearing that Lu Xinghe planned to start an investigation had already panicked Shen Dongxing. He wanted to leave immediately and flee under cover of night, thinking that he might as well escape abroad with his money and never return.

While Shen Dongxing was cunning, Lu Xinghe was no fool and realized that Shen Dongxing was looking for an opportunity to flee.

"Hu Biao, stop him! Keep him here on the spot. Without my permission, don’t let him leave the lobby," Lu Xinghe suddenly rose from the sofa, pointed at Shen Dongxing, and with sharp eyes, commanded sternly.

Hu Biao, judging the situation, knew Shen Dongxing was finished. Hearing Mayor Lu give the order, he didn’t hesitate, leading several SWAT members to pounce like tigers, blocking Shen Dongxing’s path.

"What are you trying to do?"

Seeing Hu Biao and others blocking his way, Shen Dongxing was both angry and anxious, his eyes round with fury, flashing a fierce light.

Normally, Hu Biao would never dare to treat Shen Dongxing with such disrespect, but knowing that Shen Dongxing was now a grasshopper after autumn—one not lasting much longer—he was no longer afraid of him.

"Director Shen, you heard what Mayor Lu said, right? Please cooperate!"

Hu Biao puffed up his chest, stating loudly, while gesturing with the weapon in his hand towards Shen Dongxing.

Having been in the police force for so many years, Shen Dongxing had always been the one pointing weapons at others. This was the first time he found himself on the receiving end. Looking into the dark bore of the gun, he felt both shock and fear, his complexion turning pale.

"Comrade Shen Dongxing, until the results of this investigation come out, you are to suspend all your current duties and be ready to assist with the investigation at any time!"

After Hu Biao and others pushed Shen Dongxing back to the lounge area of the lobby, Lu Xinghe, expressionless, dropped this statement, stripping Deputy Director Shen Dongxing of his powers. Then, accompanied by Mr. Fang, Hu Biao, and a few team members, led by Cheng Dihaou, they all took the elevator up to the top floor of the Dihao Entertainment Club.

Watching the backs of Cheng Dihaou and the others, Shen Dongxing seemed to realize something. His body shuddered; despair and fear showed in his eyes, and he collapsed to the ground as if he had aged a decade in a moment.

Cheng Dihaou’s office was located on the top floor, where many of Shen Dongxing’s secret dealings with Cheng Dihaou had taken place.

It was only then that Shen Dongxing considered the possibility that Cheng Dihaou might have secretly recorded the process of their transactions, intending to use the footage as leverage against him in the future.

Shen Dongxing knew that the exposure of any deal made in that office with Cheng Dihaou would ruin him. What awaited him was a trial by justice and a long life behind bars.

Under the control of Mr. Fang’s "Soul Capture Technique," Cheng Dihaou led Mr. Fang, Lu Xinghe, and others to his luxurious office on the top floor and personally opened a secret door behind the office’s bookshelf.

Within the hidden door lay a different world, three connected suites.

In the outermost room, a staggering amount of cash was piled high. Even Lu Xinghe, who came from the prestigious Lu Family of Yanjing, was deeply shocked by the mountain of cash before his eyes.

Inside the next room, hundreds of illegal items were neatly displayed, a sight truly shocking to the beholder.

Fang Bai, Lu Xinghe, and Hu Biao, who followed behind them, all gasped when they saw an entire room filled with all sorts of contraband.

Especially for Lu Xinghe, whose clothes were soaked with cold sweat, fear churned within him.

It was foreseeable that if one day Cheng Dihaou and his group went mad and started wreaking havoc with these illegal items, the consequences would be unimaginable. At that time, he, the Mayor of Zhongzhou City, would definitely be held accountable by his superiors, and his career would consequently come to an end.

Therefore, Fang Bai’s current action of smashing up the Dihao Entertainment Club was tantamount to saving Lu Xinghe’s political fate.

"Mr. Fang, thank you!"

Lu Xinghe’s eyes were filled with gratitude as he looked at Fang Bai and bowed deeply to him.

As for why Lu Xinghe was bowing to him, Fang Bai was well aware and said with a chuckle, "Actually, you don’t have to thank me; this was an unintentional good deed on my part."

"My father said Mr. Fang is a benefactor to the Lu Family. It really is so!"

Lu Xinghe also started smiling.

With so many illegal items before him, it was beyond the capacity of Mayor Lu Xinghe to deal with, so he immediately called a special department to take away these illegal items.

In the innermost room, there was only a safe. When Cheng Dihaou opened the safe under Fang Bai’s control and took out the contents for Lu Xinghe to review, Lu Xinghe’s eyes bulged with rage, and he cursed several times in a row.

What Cheng Dihaou took out from the safe were detailed records of secret transactions he had conducted with some Zhongzhou City officials over the years, some of which included video footage, obviously secretly filmed by Cheng Dihaou.

Each record noted the specific deal Cheng Dihaou had made with someone at a certain time in a certain year, involving hundreds of officials from various departments in Zhongzhou City, including Shen Dongxing and another deputy mayor who had been dragged into this mess.

The crimes of some of these officials were even more egregious than those of Shen Dongxing.

As Lu Xinghe silently flipped through the records with an iron-blue face and murderous intent in his eyes, he wished he had a gun in hand to shoot those depraved officials dead on the spot.

"Shen Dongxing, this beast in human clothing, deserves death! And Cheng Dihaou, this wolf in sheep’s clothing, is utterly heinous and beyond redemption!"

After flipping through the various records of Shen Dongxing’s crimes, Lu Xinghe’s eyes were ablaze with fury as he hissed through clenched teeth, filled with hatred.

In his previous life, Fang Bai would have struck down such evil-doers with a single slap, but now, as he was living within society without an unbridled power, he felt indignation towards the actions of Shen Dongxing and Cheng Dihaou but did not plan to express his opinion on how to deal with them.

He believed that with Mayor Lu’s involvement, neither Cheng Dihaou nor Shen Dongxing would escape the stern punishment of the law.
