My wife is the queen

  Kong Haodong's words furrowed Qin Yan's brow, he was considering whether to get rid of this person, even if the other party had no evidence and only relied on speculation, but after all, they knew something they shouldn't know.

  "You have a bitter secret that you don't want others to know, so you want to kill me." Kong Haodong said suddenly.

  "Yes." Qin Yan did not deny it.

  "But you haven't made a decision yet, because killing me might make things bigger and more likely to expose your identity."

  "That's right."

  "I won't tell anyone."

  "Really?"

  Qin Yan revealed a sneer and said in a cold voice, "I can interpret this sentence as you trying to get an opportunity to survive for yourself?"

  Kong Haichuan showed no fear, staring straight at Qin Yan: "A person who can easily kill dozens of armed thugs, I don't think the police can guarantee my safety. What's more, there is only you and me in this room. According to your understanding, why would I bring up this matter under such extremely unfavorable circumstances for me, putting myself in danger voluntarily?"

  That's right!

  Since he was certain that the incident at the Municipal People's Hospital was his doing, he knew that he had great strength. He also knew that acting secretly meant not wanting to expose his identity. Once he revealed his identity, he would likely be silenced by being killed. In this situation, why would he say it out loud?

  "Because you saved many people but didn't get the reward you deserved, all I can say is thank you." Kong Haodong said with a sigh.

  "Is it just because of this?" Qin Yan felt that this reason was a bit ridiculous.

  "Punish evil and promote good, reward merit and punish demerit."

  Kong Haodong still stared at Qin Yan, saying in a low voice: "This was originally the most basic norm, unfortunately... the world's justice is no longer so, others can't do it is others' business, I just ask for a clear conscience."

  Conscience is clear!

  Conscience is clear!

  Finally, Qin Yan found in this man in front of him the thing that he had always felt was special but couldn't quite put his finger on.

  If Qin Yan had seen the municipal party committee leadership discussing the case at the temporary command center when the incident occurred at the Municipal People's Hospital, he would have known that when the bandits demanded that the police hand over a person with sufficient status as a hostage, everyone else was silent, and only Kong Haidong stood up without hesitation.

  In Qin Yan's perception, such people only existed in TV dramas. In reality, even if they weren't extinct, they would never sit in the position of Deputy Mayor.

  But...

  Such an alternative person who is even rarer than a giant panda in the official circle is standing alive in front of him.

  "Have you ever embezzled?" Qin Yan asked with a smile, relying on his ability to judge whether the other party was lying through various details of their response.

  "No."

  "Haven't you ever taken bribes?"

  "Yes."

  "That's it."

  Qin Yan didn't expect him to answer so bluntly, just as he thought that giving himself a reason to get rid of Kong Haodong, Kong Haodong said: "Twenty-five years ago, I received my first bribe because I helped an elderly couple deal with a villain who had some background. The old couple gave me thirteen eggs. I accepted them and then asked my wife to secretly give the old couple a chicken. Twenty-three years ago, when I was the director of the office in the town, I helped a small shop owner who was being extorted by the town mayor to successfully appeal, and the small shop owner gave me two packs of cigarettes. That time, I accepted them again, and then asked my wife to buy new clothes for that small shop owner's child... At that time, I was even stabbed by a thug instigated by the town mayor and almost died."

  He rolled up his shirt, revealing a wound on his waist that was over half a foot long, and it looked quite shocking.

  With a wry smile, Kong Haodong shook his head and sighed: "I've taken bribes too many times, some of which left a deep impression and I still remember them, but many have already been forgotten. However, I only accepted bribes below 1,000 yuan, if it was more than that, I couldn't afford to return the favor, think about it, my monthly salary is just a few hundred yuan."

  Qin Yan sat stupidly on the chair, staring at the scar on his left rib, with an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

  Kill and silence?

  Such a person, he can't kill and doesn't dare to kill, not because he's afraid of Kong Haodong, but because he's afraid that he won't be able to sleep afterwards.

  Just as he told Lin Ling, everyone has a flawless and forbidden place in their heart.

  Lin Ling's sacrifice to save others touched that forbidden place, giving rise to a feeling called fondness. Kong Haodong also touched that forbidden place, but what arose was different - it was called admiration and respect. This is a man worthy of anyone's admiration and respect.

  "Han Junrui did not make a pass at Yan Qingwu." For some reason, he couldn't lie to Kong Haodong.

  "Why?" Kong Haodong didn't show any surprise.

  "I had a conflict with Han Junhua before. Recently, he found some henchmen to kidnap my friend and use that as leverage to lure me to a remote place."

  "What's next?"

  "I don't want to tell you a lie, but I also don't want to tell the truth, so there's nothing more."

  Qin Yan shrugged and smiled wryly: "Anyway, he found someone to deal with me first, I turned around and beat him up, this is still considered light."

  Furrowing his brow in contemplation for a long time, Kong Haodong nodded and said: "I understand. If it were an ordinary person, I would ask him 'When Han Junrui found someone to beat you up, why didn't you report to the police? Why did you take matters into your own hands?' But with you, I won't ask because I know that not killing him was already showing mercy. From a public perspective, your handling of the situation violated the law; from a personal perspective, I hope there are more people in this world who uphold justice."

  "What's your decision?" Qin Yan asked back.

  "On this matter, I will stand on Mayor Chiang's side."

  "But you're not that kind of person, it goes against your principles."

  "What is my principle?"

  Kong Haodong suddenly burst out laughing, shaking his head and saying: "You think I'm Judge Bao? Wrong, I look at the essence. My principle is not to wrong good people, nor let bad people off, but that doesn't mean I don't understand flexibility. The conversation ends here, why you hit Han Junrui I don't know, do you understand?"

  After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked out, but behind him came Qin Yan's voice: "It's a waste to be in this position, you can do too little."

  "Oh? Then would you mind lifting me up to a higher position?"

  Kong Haodong walked out with a smile, in his ears Qin Yan's words were just a joke, so he also made a joke, but didn't think that one day the joke would come true...

  It was almost predictable that with Kong Haodong standing on Qin Yan's side in this case, the faction led by Mayor Jiang Qinfu would immediately have a tendency to suppress another faction.

  Perhaps in order to avoid the upcoming fight, being seen by Qin Yan was too unseemly, the door of the interrogation room was closed, and no one came to interrogate again.

  Because he was taken directly to the interrogation room when he was brought to the Public Security Bureau before, Qin Yan's belongings were not confiscated. Anyway, no one came to interrogate him as the fight outside was intense, so he quietly dialed Lin Ling's number, because he had heard that Lin Ling had been removed from office, and as a boyfriend, he should show some concern, right?

  The phone was answered soon.

  Lin Ling's emotions were somewhat unpleasant, not aimed at Qin Yan but because of being removed from office, but the reason for the removal was not mentioned.

  When Qin Yan mentioned the mayor and the director of the Public Security Bureau, because of the factional opposition standing on his side, Executive Vice Mayor Kong Haidong even supported him, Lin Ling's side was also relieved. In fact, she wasn't worried about Qin Yan's safety at all, what she was worried about was that if Qin Yan was really forced to desperation, those fools in the Public Security Bureau would be troublesome, and when the time came, Qin Yan would inevitably be wanted, and she had two identities as his girlfriend and a police officer, how could she face it?

  The two people chatted for a long time, Qin Yan said some ambiguous and corny words, but Lin Ling was serious and sincere in reminding him not to do anything rash.

  Of course, in order to alleviate Lin's worries, he patted his chest and guaranteed that even if the police used severe torture, pepper water, or a tiger bench, he would not resist.

  It's just a pity that Lin Ling won't believe this, would someone like him let others take advantage of him?

  He probably took action before the police could even move in.

  Qin Yan had also thought it through in his heart. If it really came to that point, he would take out everyone at the Public Security Bureau and then head straight to Qingyang County with Lin Ling, fleeing far away.

  Not following yourself?

  Awesome!

  Knock her out and drag her away, if she still doesn't comply then use force to get what you want, first turn the raw rice into cooked rice before talking, by that time she won't be able to refuse!

  Not long after hanging up the phone, I received two more calls in succession.

  The first call was from the old man who sold agarwood to him, saying that he had been discharged from the hospital and had arranged everything at home, and would arrive in Pingjiang tonight. The other call was from Gao Mingjian, who had settled his parents down and also planned to return today to start formal work.

  After hanging up the phone, Qin Yan had nothing to do and started daydreaming about the subsequent development of the situation, thinking about the exciting parts and couldn't help but hehe weirdly smile.

  Bang!

  Suddenly, the door was kicked open by someone. The previous lock that had been kicked once before was now completely destroyed and flew far away from the door.

  "Yan Ge, brother I'm late!"

  Su Hao rushed in with a big show, gave Qin Yan a bear hug, and whispered in his ear: "Actually, I knew it early on, just thinking about how the situation would develop. If those guys could handle it, I wouldn't have to take action. Who knew that the two factions would actually get stuck, fighting each other fiercely, leaving you alone here? I couldn't not take action anymore."

  This guy actually made two preparations, Qin Yan couldn't help but laugh and cry. On the other hand, Su Hao was hugged by a bear and scolded loudly at several people who came in one after another.

  "Ah! You dare to move, are you tired of living?"

  "And you! Su Ruihe, what's your surname anyway? Which side are you on?"

  Poor Su Rui, a deputy mayor, was scolded and dared not to speak out. The key is that he has grievances that cannot be spoken: according to the arrangement of his family, he belongs to the faction of Municipal Party Secretary Wang Xuebing, and should stand on Wang Xuebing's side, with the goal of nailing Qin Yan to death.

  He had only met Qin Yan once and didn't even know his name, only hearing Su Hao call him Brother Yan. Who would have thought that the main character of this case was him?

  So he naturally wanted to deal with Qin Yan, which was also in line with the family's arrangement. What's wrong with that?

  Su Hao's identity was placed there, even if he knew in his heart that he had done nothing wrong, he would still have to listen obediently when scolded.

  Almost all the leaders of Pingjiang City were present, and the vast majority of them did not know what Su Hao's identity was. They only knew that before Su Hao came, there was a call from the Provincial Party Committee saying that someone was going to the Public Security Bureau to make trouble, and this person must not be offended.

  So all the city leaders were present, from the municipal party secretary to the directors of the subordinate bureaus, each and every one of them was sprayed with a mouthful of saliva by Su Hao.

  On the other hand, Su Hao forcibly took Qin Yan away. As soon as they left the Public Security Bureau, three cars rushed over. When a young man got out of the middle Rolls-Royce, Su Hao's face changed...
