Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

"You can leave now." These five simple words were like a bomb exploding in the interrogation room.

Zhang Biao suddenly jumped up from his chair, his eyes wide open like copper bells, his face filled with disbelief and astonishment.

He almost screamed, even doubting his own ears, "What did you say? I can leave now?"

Li Dong repeated, "That's right, you can leave now."

Zhang Biao looked puzzled. "Li Dong, what tricks are you playing?"

It's no wonder Zhang Biao was so puzzled; the ordeal of the past two hours had already pushed his nerves to the limit.

He had considered countless possibilities: being interrogated, detained, threatened, and even prepared to fight to the bitter end.

According to Zhang Biao's guess, if Li Dong really insisted on the charges of assaulting a police officer and obstructing the execution of official duties, then he would be detained for at least 24 hours, or even 48 hours, but he never expected this outcome.

Li Dong was actually going to let him go?

And they didn't even conduct a review, nor did they ask any questions!

Since Li Dong never intended to interrogate him in the first place, why did he still bring him back?

It's worth noting that Li Dong went to great lengths to bring him back today.

A whole busload of auxiliary police officers were brought in, and they not only arrested him, but also all the security guards who were involved in the fight at the mine hospital at the time.

Even the reputations of Dong Shouan and Zhao Chenyu were trampled on because of his arrest.

If Chairman Zhao Hongbo hadn't intervened, Li Dong probably would have really dared to cause a huge mess.

It can be said that Li Dong has single-handedly placed himself on the opposite side of the entire mine today.

But now, Li Dong just let him go!

From beginning to end, not a single question was asked!

Li Dong leaned against the table behind him, his hands in his pockets, a faint smile still on his face, his tone casual as if he were talking about a trivial matter, "Section Chief Zhang, are you still reluctant to leave?"

"If you don't want to leave, then that's fine. You can stay here a little longer."

"But let me make it clear beforehand, our police station closes at 5 p.m. today, so we didn't prepare dinner for you in advance."

Zhang Biao stared intently at Li Dong, trying to find a clue on his face. "Li Dong, don't try that on me. What are you up to?"

"You dragged me in here, left me hanging for two hours, and now you're just going to release me like this? What exactly do you want?"

He didn't believe Li Dong would be so kind, nor did he believe there was anything fishy going on behind the scenes.

Li Dong's sudden release of the man made Zhang Biao even more uneasy than if he had been locked up and ignored!

Zhang Biao knew that once he was imprisoned, the mine would definitely try to influence things through various channels.

But if Li Dong were the kind of person who would obey orders, he wouldn't have been locked up!

Li Dong raised an eyebrow, took two steps forward, and said with a hint of deeper meaning, "Section Chief Zhang, I'm arresting you because you obstructed the execution of official duties."

"If we don't arrest you, how can the police station save face?"

"I'm letting you go because I don't think it's worth wasting time with you here."

"First of all, you won't cooperate with my interrogation, and secondly, I don't want to waste my time on you!"

"But before you leave, there are a few words I'd like to say to you."

Zhang Biao asked cautiously, "What do you want to say?"

Li Dong said, "I want to say that karma is cyclical; retribution may be delayed, but it will come eventually."

"You can run away from the first day of the month, but you can't hide from the fifteenth. Do you think you can rest easy just because I don't cause you trouble today?"

"Don't you even think about it? Leaving the police station so casually, even if I know you didn't say anything."

"But what about the people behind you? Will they believe you didn't say anything?"

"Just as you thought, I brought you to the police station with such a big fuss."

"Since you haven't revealed anything, how can I possibly let you go?"

"You're not the only one who thinks this way; I believe others do too!"

As Li Dong finished speaking, it was like a knife piercing Zhang Biao's heart.

Zhang Biao's body stiffened abruptly, and most of the arrogance on his face faded.

Instead, an indescribable chill instantly swept over my entire body!

As Li Dong said, if he really left the police station today, even if he didn't say anything, would the people outside believe him?

In other words, Li Dong didn't even ask any questions, and with just one move, he cut off all his escape routes!

He stared into Li Dong's unfathomable eyes and suddenly realized that this young man was even more terrifying than he had imagined!

Only at this moment did he realize how ruthless Li Dong's move was.

It's not that it won't be reviewed, it's that it doesn't need to be reviewed.

It's not that we won't punish them, it's that we'll punish them to the core!

The door to this police station feels like a thunderbolt when you enter, but like walking on thin ice when you leave.

What kind of people are those in the mine?

Zhang Biao knew better than anyone else that he was suspicious, ruthless, and meticulous about every little thing!

Li Dong made such a big show of detaining him today, only to release him so easily in the end.

Let alone that old fox Dong Shou'an, even those who are on his side would probably have a big question mark in their hearts.

Did Zhang Biao finally give up and vomit everything? Otherwise, why would Li Dong let him go?

Even without any evidence, Li Dong wouldn't do anything.

But rumors are sharper than knives and more poisonous than poison!

Zhang Biao's face turned pale and then red, his previous arrogance completely gone, leaving only palpitations and lingering fear.

When he looked at Li Dong again, his voice trembled slightly, "Li Dong, you're ruthless!"

"But you don't really think you can make me give in with this kind of trick, do you?"

Li Dong chuckled, took two steps back, and leaned back against the table. "Ruthless?"

"Section Chief Zhang, you're being too polite. I'm just teaching you a lesson: don't break the law, or you'll be caught!"

"Arresting you today is to give an explanation to the police station and to those people at the mine."

"As for letting you go, it's to leave something for those behind you to remember. We can't let people say that I, Li Dong, don't know how to unite our comrades."

"But what about you? When you go back to the security department, do you think Dong Shou'an will still trust you? Will he still entrust you with important tasks?"

Zhang Biao was jolted, as if he had been hit hard on the head with a club.

Dong Shou'an was already dissatisfied with him for his poor performance, and if he left easily, Dong Shou'an would definitely be full of suspicion towards him.

What use is a pawn that can be turned by Li Dong at any time?

In other words, from the moment he was arrested by Li Dong and taken to the police station, he had already fallen into Li Dong's trap and was now in a dilemma!

Li Dong used a single move—borrowing someone's strength to strike back—to push him into the eye of the storm.

Even if he manages to escape unscathed today, does he really have a chance to do so?

Zhang Biao sat back in his chair, shaking his head vigorously, "I'm not leaving!"
