Ling Xuefei knew that she couldn't stall any longer, and after weighing her options in her heart, she ultimately stood by Xing Zhengtai's side. In fact, in such a situation, anyone would stand by Xing Zhengtai, because before Wang Xiaoqiang's words could be verified, no one dared to believe his significant influence.

Therefore, Ling Xuefei firmly insisted that it was Wang Xiaoqiang who had intercepted her on the highway with his car, attempted to molest her, and then Xing Zhengtai arrived, causing Wang Xiaoqiang to assault someone.

After Ling Xuefei finished speaking, she glanced at Wang Xiaoqiang with a hint of guilt.

Wang Xiaoqiang sneered, "A woman with big waves and no brains, not only have you harmed yourself, you've also harmed your Ling Family."

Ling Xuefei's heart skipped a beat, and her complexion turned extremely ugly.

Xing Zhengtai, however, laughed. "Comrades of the police, you've heard it. I think you know what to do now!"

The two officers exchanged a smile with Xing Zhengtai, then said to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Wang Xiaoqiang, do you know what crimes you've committed? Molesting a decent woman, assaulting causing grievous injury, kidnapping the victim, and sexually abusing the victim... Do you realize how serious these crimes are?"

Wang Xiaoqiang did not offer any explanation, simply smiling, "Do whatever you want, it doesn't matter to me."

Wang Xiaoqiang's attitude surprised both interrogators, and a bad premonition arose in their hearts. A criminal with such an indifferent attitude usually had one of two backgrounds: either they were truly guilty and unable to make it on the outside, seeking to live off prison rations, or they were someone with a significant backing.

Clearly, Wang Xiaoqiang did not fit the first category.

Indeed, just as Wang Xiaoqiang was about to be taken away, a commotion arose in the courtyard of the police station.

A vehicle with a provincial government license plate drove into the courtyard of the public security bureau, and all the staff who saw it grew tense.

When a person got out of the vehicle, everyone's heart sank. Lin Qingming, the Deputy Secretary, how could he be making a sudden visit to a county bureau without any prior notice? It seemed a significant incident was about to unfold.

Deng Mingshan, the Public Security Director, and Liu Zhipeng, the deputy director, upon receiving the news, immediately ran out of their offices to welcome him.

Meanwhile.

At the Xing Family.

A vehicle from the commission and another from the procuratorate arrived at the Xing Household. Xing Yihang, Xing Zhengtai's father and current helmsman of the Xing Family, was placed under a dual regulation detention.

Xing Yihang could never have imagined disaster would befall him so suddenly.

And he had no idea that all of this was caused by his son's troubles.

At the public security bureau.

Lin Qingming ignored the greetings from the two directors of the public security bureau and simply asked, "Just now, was there a person named Wang Xiaoqiang brought into the public security bureau..."

Knowing the incident involving the Crown Prince, the two directors did not dare to be ignorant. Faced with the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, they dared not conceal anything and immediately said, "Yes, yes, he seems to be in the interrogation room."

"Take me there." Lin Qingming's voice was not loud, yet it was filled with authority.

The two directors did not dare to dally, immediately leading the way and guiding Lin Qingming toward the interrogation room.

Just then, Wang Xiaoqiang was being escorted out of the interrogation room, still handcuffed.

As the two police officers were about to take Wang Xiaoqiang away, Director Deng Guangming gestured to stop them. Then pointing at Wang Xiaoqiang, he said, "Secretary Lin, this is Wang Xiaoqiang."

"Where are you taking Wang Xiaoqiang?" Lin Qingming asked as soon as he spoke.

"Wang Xiaoqiang has committed a crime, we are going to detain him..." one of the younger police officers said.

"Damn it!" Lin Qingming cursed, "Now, unlock Mr. Wang's handcuffs."

The elderly policeman, seeing that something was amiss, immediately unlocked the handcuffs from Wang Xiaoqiang's hands.

Lin Qingming immediately stepped forward, bowed slightly to Wang Xiaoqiang with a face full of apologetic smiles, "Mr. Wang, I'm really sorry. You've been wronged."

Wang Xiaoqiang asked, "And you are?"

"Ah, I am Immortal Beauty's fourth uncle, Lin Qingyuan, serving at the Provincial Party Committee."

"Ah, no wonder I didn't see you the last time I visited the Lin Family. You were tied up with official business."

When Wang Xiaoqiang brought up the last incident, Lin Qingyuan immediately understood. The last time the Lin Family had been coerced by an Evil Cultivator and challenged by the Mount Hua Sword Sect. If it weren't for Wang Xiaoqiang, their Lin Family would have been exterminated by now. He, as the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, would not have escaped disaster either.

Therefore, his attitude became even more respectful. He clasped Wang Xiaojing's hands, "Mr. Wang, rest assured, Xing Yihang has been placed under investigation, and I will provide an explanation for this matter as well."

This statement was just overheard by Xing Zhengtai and Ling Xuefei, who had just stepped out of the interrogation room.

Xing Zhengtai, who was basking in self-importance, felt his heart skip a beat upon hearing this, "Damn it, my father has been placed under investigation? How is that possible?"

Ling Xuefei, upon hearing that Xing Yihang had been placed under investigation, felt a jolt in her heart. It seems her suspicions were confirmed; this Wang Xiaoqiang indeed had some significant backing.

Indeed, when the two of them came out and saw both the Director and Deputy Director of Public Security accompanying a middle-aged man, looking extremely anxious, while the middle-aged man was holding Wang Xiaoqiang's hands, appearing very meek, the expressions of Xing Zhengtai and Ling Xuefei both changed on the spot.

They were not blind; it was quite clear to them that this middle-aged man must be a person of high stature, and the fact that Wang Xiaoqiang could make this individual so cautious indicated the extent of Wang Xiaoqiang's status.

Indeed.

As soon as Wang Xiaoqiang saw Xing Zhengtai and Ling Xuefei stepping out, he immediately turned his face towards the two and said, "Both of you, do you believe what I said now?"

Seeing this situation, Lin Qingyuan immediately instructed the two directors behind him, "This matter needs to be reviewed. It must be thoroughly investigated, and I want to be present in the review..."

"Yes, certainly, Secretary Lin, please," neither of the directors dared to object and immediately responded.

Thus, Wang Xiaoqiang returned to the interrogation room accompanied by Lin Qingyuan, and Xing Zhengtai and Ling Xuefei were also brought into the interrogation room.

The two interrogating officers, frightened by the turn of events, almost wet their pants. They immediately gave up their chairs for Lin Qingyuan, but Lin Qingyuan offered the chair to Wang Xiaoqiang instead, "Mr. Wang, please take a seat."

Wang Xiaoqiang, without any hesitation, sat down.

In contrast, Xing Zhengtai and Ling Xuefei stood there nervously, their faces filled with panic and regret, especially Ling Xuefei. Wang Xiaoqiang had repeatedly reminded her, yet she had been obstinate. Now it had come to this: with Xing Yihang under investigation and the Xing Family in trouble, the Ling Family would not fare well either.

At this moment, the two interrogating officers completely changed their attitude, leaning towards Wang Xiaoqiang's side and asking about the incident in a very polite manner.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't respond, instead turning his gaze to Ling Xuefei and said, "Let Ling Xuefei speak instead. She has more authority to speak on this matter."

After saying this, Wang Xiaoqiang gave Ling Xuefei a meaningful look.

Seeing this, Ling Xuefei immediately rallied, speaking eloquently, she recounted the cause of the incident and the entire process. However, she hid the part where she had acted on behalf of Wang Xiaoqiang and altered the part about Wang Xiaoqiang knocking Xing Zhengtai's subordinates into the river, making it sound as if Wang Xiaoqiang acted in self-defense.

"Ling Xuefei, you, you wretched woman, you're talking nonsense! The incident wasn't like this at all. Wang Xiaoqiang deliberately injured people, and he even had you whistle to him in front of me, have you forgotten?" Xing Zhengtai shouted out in a rage.

"Xing Zhengtai, whether I did anything for Wang Xiaoqiang, are you clearer about it than I am? I can guarantee with my personal integrity that I have not done such a thing for any man..." Ling Xuefei said with an indignant expression. She was very clear in her mind that this was the second chance to choose sides. If she chose well, she believed that Wang Xiaoqiang would spare her and her family. (To be continued.
