Let them offer their loyalty!

But letting him admit to this matter and report it just like that left him feeling somewhat reluctant.

Therefore, he had no choice but to fall into silence for the moment, contemplating another way to resolve the issue.

With him not speaking, Commissioner Wang naturally did not speak either. For a time, the atmosphere in the entire office cooled down.

All the forensic investigators and their supervisors stood there carefully, not daring to make a sound.

Even potential upper-level figures like Cai Peiyuan and Zhang Jian, and confidants of Yan Chen like Ji Chen, did not dare to make a move, afraid of bringing trouble upon themselves.

And just when the office was dead silent and the tension was so thick that even the drop of a pin could be heard,

suddenly, the door to Yu Zhengyi's office was violently kicked open from the outside.

With a loud "bang!" the door forcefully hit the wall.

Everyone was startled and turned to look at the entrance.

It was at this moment that a woman's chilly voice also rose in everyone's ears, "Such a small issue and you keep passing the buck. Do you not have any sense of duty as higher-ups in the Investigation Bureau and City Hall?"

"If none of you dare take responsibility, then let me bear it!"

Accompanying those dominant words, the figure of a woman with her entourage also appeared before everyone's eyes.

The woman was slender and agile, and that perfectly fitted uniform added to her stature; just one look was enough to sense her healthy physique and inner confidence.

Opposite Yu Zhengyi's office was the corridor window, and it was now noon. Although it was a bit misty due to the rain, the scattered sunlight shone on the woman's silhouette. It still made her look like a goddess of victory.

Hmm... and it also highlighted the small girl standing next to her, like a cute little potato...

"Director Tang," "Good afternoon, Director Tang!"

There were quite a few sharp-eyed investigators present, so when they recognized the newcomers as Tang Feifei and her secretary Su Xiaowan, they all greeted them.

By this time, Yu Zhengyi, Commissioner Wang, and Cai Peiyuan among other mid-level and senior officials also noticed Tang Feifei.

They stood up.

Then Yu Zhengyi looked at Tang Feifei and asked, "Director Tang, what brings you here?"

After speaking, he didn't even care about the office door that nearly got wrecked by Tang Feifei but directly asked, "You just said you wanted to take responsibility for this matter?"

"How do you intend to take responsibility?"

Upon hearing the greetings from everyone, Tang Feifei nodded coldly, which was her way of responding. Then she didn't answer Yu Zhengyi's question directly but waved at him instead, saying, "Old Yu, come out for a second."

After that, Tang Feifei, with her long legs, turned and walked toward the corridor.

Since they were on the same level and Tang Feifei had a deep background, being called "Old Yu" by her did not make Yu Zhengyi feel slighted.

After a moment of thought, as if he had realized something, he hesitated for a moment. Then he gave Commissioner Wang an apologetic smile and stepped out following her.

At the office entrance, Yu Zhengyi gave his secretary a look, who swiftly reached out to close the door, muffling the sounds within.

Only then did Yu Zhengyi proceed to follow Tang Feifei.

By then, Tang Feifei was already standing still in the corridor. She directed Su Xiaowan to the other end of the corridor to keep watch, and then turned her sharp gaze towards Yu Zhengyi as he approached.

Sensing Tang Feifei's piercing look, Yu Zhengyi instinctively felt that there was something different about her today. Compared to her restraint and patience over the past year, was today's Tang Feifei showing a hint of her edge?

While Yu Zhengyi was thinking this, Tang Feifei looked at him and took the initiative to say, "Old Yu... even though you and Yan Chen are old colleagues,"

"But... I remember my father once had a period of mentoring you, right?"

When Tang Feifei suddenly brought this up, Yu Zhengyi, who was adept at playing it safe, felt "thump" in his heart, suddenly having an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, Tang Feifei didn't wait for his response and directly looked at him, then said, "I want to make a small deal with you."

"I can help you take the hit for 'Wu Zhi's death,' but I also hope you can do me a favor. A small one..."

Towards the end, Tang Feifei narrowed her eyes, casting a gaze towards Yu Zhengyi that resembled that of a hunting leopard...

Yu Zhengyi: ...

He tried to keep his expression as calm as possible, then after a moment of hesitation, he finally said, "You go first..."

.....

While Tang Feifei was executing Qiu Tu's plan to control Xinjie City Investigation Bureau and marginalize Yan Chen,

Qiu Tu finally received a call from Director Liu Xiongyuan of Eastern City.

Qiu Tu had contacted Liu Xiongyuan once before and knew that this legendary figure from the Planning Area had a different demeanor than most politicians he had dealt with.

Compared to Yan Chen's cunning and Commissioner Jiang's ruthless perseverance, Liu Xiongyuan was more like a volatile old man.

Qiu Tu had seen photos of Liu Xiongyuan: he was dark in complexion, his skin like tempered steel, and his personality was like a volcano on the verge of eruption, always seemingly a second away from losing his temper and lashing out.

Qiu Tu had heard that as a division chief, the old man had once gotten into a fistfight over a disagreement with a department head, resulting in a disciplinary warning.

After becoming a bureau chief, his temper had not settled much. The Municipal Committee of Eastern City was often a scene of conflict because of him.

So, facing this fiery old man, Qiu Tu knew that beating around the bush would only annoy him.
