Chapter 34: I am your Director

Liu Hui's cellphone rang, Tang Sufei, who came to visit Liu Hui had returned it to him. Liu Hui took out his cellphone and checked, but it wasn't Zhao Shijing.

Only two people knew this number, so if it wasn't Zhao Shijing, it should be Chen Lao's granddaughter, Chen Yixin.

So much had happened in such a short time that Liu Hui only now remembered his promise to Chen Lao to treat him tonight.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu. This is Chen Yixin. Something came up today and delayed me. Are you still at the entrance of Chushi No. 1 Middle School? I don't see you here," Liu Hui answered the call, and Chen Yixin's voice came from the phone.

Liu Hui felt apologetic. He was currently in the police station and couldn't easily leave. It seemed he would have to break his promise this time.

It was the first time he had promised something to someone and couldn't fulfill it. Liu Hui had to apologize to Chen Yixin, "I'm very sorry, but I'm currently facing a bit of trouble and can't leave. I'm afraid I won't be able to go and treat Chen Lao tonight."

Chen Yixin's tone became anxious, as if she was afraid of missing this opportunity. She eagerly said, "Mr. Liu, what trouble have you encountered? Please tell me. Our Chen family still has some connections in Chushi. We should be able to help you solve the problem."

Thinking of Chen Lao's military-like temperament and even Chen Yixin's appearance as someone accustomed to high positions, they should have a considerable influence in the political arena.

They should be able to resolve the matter with the Public Security Bureau, sparing Zhao Shijing the trouble of seeking help.

"I'm in the Public Security Bureau in Chushi. Some police officers here are trying to use torture to extract a confession from me, and I had no choice but to fight back," Liu Hui hoped that Chen Yixin could help him solve this trouble. After all, he didn't want to clash with the state institutions at this moment.

"What? You're at the Public Security Bureau? Who dares to do such a thing?" Chen Yixin was shocked and furious.

The Public Security Bureau was under her jurisdiction, and Liu Hui had suffered such grievance on her turf. If it caused a delay in Chen Lao's recovery, she would not be able to forgive herself.

At this moment, Captain Qian, supported by Xiao Xia, stood up from the ground.

Captain Qian saw Liu Hui making continuous phone calls and wore an impatient expression on his face.

"Liu Hui! It's useless to call for help from anyone! Don't hold onto any hope. No one can save you now! Give up!"

Captain Qian's voice was clearly transmitted through the phone to Chen Yixin's ears. Chen Yixin couldn't hide her anger anymore.

"Mr. Chen, I will handle this matter. Just wait there calmly. I'll be at the Public Security Bureau soon. Pass the phone to him. I want to see what gives him the audacity to be so arrogant."

Liu Hui knew that Chen Yixin was probably a high-ranking official in the Chushi Public Security Bureau. Otherwise, she wouldn't have the confidence to speak like that. Without hesitation, he handed the phone to Captain Qian.

"Captain Qian, someone wants to talk to you."

Captain Qian looked somewhat surprised but immediately burst into laughter.

"Liu Hui has committed the serious crime of assaulting a police officer. I don't care who you are none of it matters to me here." Captain Qian had already investigated Liu Hui's background and found no significant influence.

On Zhao Shijing's side, Deputy Director Yuan Jin vouched for him. What did Qian Lichun have to worry about?

"Qian Lichun, who the hell do you think you are? Do you think you can rule the Public Security Bureau on your own?" Chen Yixin's tone was extremely cold.

At this moment, she wished she could tear Captain Qian apart. She never expected her subordinate to be so arrogant, so overbearing!

"Who the fuck are you? Blabbering here!" Qian Lichun's mind heated up, without much thought, he immediately retorted.

On the other end of the phone, Chen Yixin was infuriated. Her face turned red, and she trembled uncontrollably.

No one had ever dared to humiliate her like this in person, let alone someone like Qian Lichun, who was her subordinate. It was simply intolerable.

Qian Lichun suddenly recognized the voice on the phone; it was familiar. He realized it was their police bureau's director, Chen Yixin.

Cold sweat covered Qian Lichun's face, and he was so frightened that he sat on the ground. He knew he had gotten himself into big trouble.

Slap, slap, slap!

Qian Lichun slapped himself while crying loudly, "Director Chen, I was wrong! I didn't recognize your voice just now. I admit my mistake, I deserve to die!"

"You explain yourself to Deputy Director Yuan! I want to know how he manages his subordinates, allowing someone like you, full of foul language and moral corruption, to serve under him!"

Click, click, click!

Chen Yixin didn't listen to his explanation and apology. She simply hung up the phone. Qian Lichun's face turned pale, and he trembled all over.

He knew he was finished this time. Even Deputy Director Yuan Jin wouldn't be able to save him. Chen Yixin came from a distinguished family and held significant power.

Deputy Director Yuan Jin had expressed dissatisfaction with her appointment, wanting to play tricks and make her lose face.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Mayor Han of Chushi City called Yuan Jin and scolded him harshly, nearly removing him from his position.

Qian Lichun, as Yuan Jin's loyal subordinate, had the opportunity to know about this secret. Now, he had actually insulted Chen Yixin.

The least punishment he would face would be suspension and investigation. His life was over.

Liu Hui looked at the dispirited Qian Lichun before him and couldn't help but be curious about Chen Yixin's identity.

He never expected that a single phone call from her could make this arrogant Captain Qian submit so obediently.

Since the matter had been resolved, Liu Hui immediately called Zhao Shijing to deliver the good news and told her not to seek help from anyone else. Zhao Shijing was also extremely surprised over the phone.

After all, she had approached several people in the public security system, but they all refused to help. It was unexpected that Liu Hui, a regular high school student, had managed to resolve the situation so quickly.

Qian Lichun sat on the ground, lamenting his future fate. When he saw Liu Hui making the phone call, it was as if he suddenly realized something. He immediately regained his composure.

Qian Lichun remained seated, moving closer to Liu Hui. He cried bitterly, "Liu Hui, it's my fault. I shouldn't have used excessive force against you. But all of this was Vice Director Yuan Jin's instructions. He is my superior, and I had no choice but to follow his orders. Please, have mercy on me. I have a family to support. Kindly speak on my behalf to Director Chen and ask her to spare me! I beg you!"

Seeing Qian Lichun's pitiful state, Liu Hui couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"The suffering of a person often stems from their own actions. Qian Lichun, do you remember what I told you at the school gate? You are a police officer of the people, the people's police! Since you have forgotten your duty, abandoned your conscience, and willingly become a lackey, don't indulge in regret and suffering here!"
