NOVPUB"My mission was to arrest you!"
A simple sentence, like a clap of thunder.
It made Dai Shouyi’s scalp tingle, a chilling feeling surged in his heart.
Before Dai Shouyi could react,
Zhao Chengfeng roughly pushed him onto the conference table.
Although Dai Shouyi was physically strong, he had been corrupted by indulgence in power, wealth, and pleasure, and was no match for Zhao Chengfeng.
With two clicks,
Dai Shouyi’s hands were cuffed.
"Zhao Chengfeng, what the hell do you mean by this? Are you fucking insane? Let me go this instant!" Dai Shouyi cursed furiously, his face contorted with anger.
He had never imagined that Zhao Chengfeng would dare to handcuff him during a party school meeting.
The cadres who were attending the meeting also stood up in anger, denouncing Zhao Chengfeng’s actions and urging him to release Secretary Dai immediately.
Even a few of Dai Shouyi’s supporters attempted to step forward to rescue him.
"I dare anyone to try moving forward!" Zhao Chengfeng stood on the table, his boot pressing on Dai Shouyi’s back, a dark pistol suddenly appearing in his hand.
He glared furiously at the crowd, "I dared to arrest someone here today because I’m prepared for the worst. If any motherfucker moves an inch closer, I’ll shoot him dead!"
Upon these words, the meeting room fell silent as if a pin could be heard dropping.
The anger on everyone’s faces was immediately replaced by shock and fear.
The supporters of Dai Shouyi, who had initially wanted to come to his rescue, froze on the spot as if an immobilization spell had been cast on them, not daring to make a move.
Their eyes were filled with terror, as if they saw a ferocious lion that could pounce at any moment and shred them to pieces.
Clearly, they had not expected Zhao Chengfeng to be so audacious, not only to arrest the city committee secretary at the party school.
But he had even drawn a gun!
This was no joking matter.
After all, how could one point a gun at one’s own comrades?
His actions could at least lead to dismissal from his post, or at worst, land him in prison.
Zhao Chengfeng stood on the table like a war god, imposing and majestic.
His gaze swept over the crowd like a sharp sword, his presence chilling to the bone.
"You’re fucking insane, let me go!" Dai Shouyi struggled desperately, cursing continuously, but at that moment, he appeared so powerless and desperate.
The cadres in the meeting room looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion and unease.
They did not understand what had happened to provoke Zhao Chengfeng to make such a bold move of arresting Dai Shouyi during a party school meeting.
Some began to secretly speculate whether Dai Shouyi had committed some unforgivable crimes.
But they couldn’t be sure and could only anxiously wait for further developments.
Zhao Chengfeng looked at the terrified expressions of the crowd, without a trace of sympathy in his heart.
He knew many among them were either Dai Shouyi’s accomplices or people too intimidated by his power to resist.
He wanted to let them know that crime would eventually be punished, and no one could escape the law’s sanctions.
Zhao Chengfeng looked down at Dai Shouyi and his lips curled into a cold smirk, "Dai Shouyi, do you really not know why I’m arresting you?"
Dai Shouyi retorted angrily, "Who knows what a madman thinks!"
"Someone call the police, arrest this madman!"
Zhao Chengfeng laughed loudly, "Idiot, did you forget that I am the police commissioner?"
Zhao Chengfeng had long been disgusted by Dai Shouyi, and having him under his foot today felt immensely satisfying.
Then,
he took a deep breath, his eyes turning icy, and said slowly, "Secretary Dai, may I remind you that Mayor Lu discovered a highly decomposed female body behind Hu Family Village in Qingcheng Town."
Upon hearing this,
Dai Shouyi, who had been vigorously struggling, suddenly froze as if an immobilization spell had been cast on him; his pupils shivered violently, and a nameless fear spread through his heart.
He couldn’t believe it at all; Lu Yuanyang had taken leave today just to go to the Hu family estate in Qingcheng Town.
Dai Shouyi panicked.
Completely panicked.
All along, he had thought Lu Yuanyang was a pushover.
Even after several months in office, he still acted very submissive in front of him, not daring to object even when his own developmental policies were vetoed.
And now he realized.
He had been deceived!
Lu Yuanyang was not a submissive coward at all.
The reason he appeared so incompetent was actually to lull him into a false sense of security.
So as to secretly find deadly leverage against him!
Such treachery!
Zhao Chengfeng continued, "Upon identification, the highly decomposed female corpse is none other than your former secretary, Hu Jing. She was murdered and buried behind her own village."
Boom!
With these words,
everyone again felt as if struck by lightning.
Everyone knew
that Dai Shouyi’s previous secretary had disappeared without a trace, and then Wu Mei became his new secretary.
However,
who could have imagined that Hu Jing had met such a fate?
Even more bizarre, she was buried behind her own village.
It was truly a thought so terrifying it was baffling!
"In addition, Hu Jing’s father handed over a USB drive and a notebook to Mayor Lu," Zhao Chengfeng calmly took out his phone, activated the screen mirroring function, and publicly played the videos Lu Yuanyang had sent him.
Seeing the videos appear on the large screen, many officials in the conference room showed expressions of horror.
Because,
they saw themselves in the videos.
Everyone knew that appearing in such videos meant their careers were likely over.
Zhao Chengfeng’s face contorted, "Secretary Dai, aren’t you a high-and-mighty official? Today, I want to blow this thing wide open. I want to see how you can stay out of this!"
"I want to see who can save you!"
"Damn it, I refuse to believe the law can’t touch a scumbag like you!"
He had planned ahead for what to do before he arrived.
If he just arrested Dai Shouyi, even if the municipal committee got involved, it was likely to be suppressed and end up unresolved.
That’s exactly why
he decided to blow the matter up.
So big that it could not be contained.
Dai Shouyi burst into laughter, his words filled with madness: "Zhao Chengfeng, you’re really too naive. Even if you have evidence of my crimes, so what?"
"The power behind me is more terrifying than you can imagine!"
"If he speaks up, no one can judge me."
"Remember, the law only binds mortals."
"But they are the ones who make the law!"
Dai Shouyi’s words made everyone’s scalp tingle, as no one expected him to boast so arrogantly, even if it was the truth.
However, some things should not be said carelessly.
Zhao Chengfeng walked away from the conference table, grabbed Dai Shouyi’s hair, looked toward the corner where the surveillance camera was, and smiled, "Secretary Dai, see that camera? Doesn’t it look like it’s live-streaming?"
