Zhou Meiping broke through the obstruction of several officers and ran in, followed by two elderly police officers whom Li Hanliang did not recognize.

The officers immediately became respectful upon seeing the two men.

"Oh, Mr. Wang, Captain Chen, what brings you here?"

"I heard you two are retiring, aren't you? Why would you bother with such a small matter? These vendors are really inconsiderate!"

As they spoke, the group quickly invited the two veteran police officers into the house.

"No need for a seat." Chen Changfa raised his hand, declining their flattery, then looked at Li Hanliang, "Is he the one who was wrongly accused?"

Jing Wenqiang walked over, his attitude not exactly respectful. But compared to his previous arrogance, it was much better.

"Captain Chen, the evidence is conclusive. Saying 'wrongfully accused' is a bit inappropriate, isn't it?" He narrowed his eyes and stared at Chen Changfa.

Chen Changfa merely glanced at him coldly before stating fairly and impartially, "Of course I have found conclusive evidence before I can say that you have wronged them."

Jing Wenqiang froze.

It should be noted that Chen Changfa is the most respected criminal police captain in the bureau, and his abilities are beyond question.

Jing Wenqiang couldn't help but feel a little nervous, worried that Chen Changfa had really caught him doing something wrong.

But then he thought about it again and suddenly realized—what's there to be afraid of!

“Captain Chen,” Jing Wenqiang smiled, “this little matter shouldn’t be under the jurisdiction of the criminal investigation team, right? At most, they would send a police officer from the local police station. Your personal involvement is overstepping your bounds, isn’t it?”

"What, you don't recognize Wang Ruiqiang, the old policeman from the Xingfu Street Police Station?" Chen Changfa sneered and patted Wang on the shoulder. "Look, these young people really don't respect your old military medals."

Wang Ruiqiang was also a retired veteran, but he did not belong to the Pei family branch, so Li Hanliang had only heard of him before and had never met him.

Upon meeting him today, I found that Old Wang had sharp eyes and a robust physique. His demeanor and bearing were clearly not comparable to those of ordinary police officers working at the grassroots level.

Jing Wenqiang gritted his teeth and said somewhat defiantly, "How dare I?"

“However,” he sneered, “it’s quite surprising that these people can mobilize you, Elder Wang. It seems that Li Hanliang really paved the way with money.”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Changfa couldn't stand it anymore and glared angrily at Jing Wenqiang.

Wang Ruiqiang didn't bother arguing with him, and even ignored what Jing Wenqiang said, only saying, "Chen Longhu has already confessed, saying that someone instructed him to frame Li Hanliang."

"So from now on, this matter will no longer be under the jurisdiction of your health bureau, but will be fully taken over by our Xingfu Street Police Station."

As he spoke, he directly instructed the officers, "You guys hurry up and release them; the station is waiting to question them."

Upon hearing these words, Jing Wenqiang immediately flew into a rage and blocked the doorway without regard for anything else, shouting, "Without concrete evidence, no one can take the criminal away!"

"What? Don't you consider the witness's testimony as evidence?" Wang Ruiqiang couldn't control his anger any longer. "Young man from the Jing family, how come I didn't know your Jing family had taken over the police station?"

Jing Wenqiang was speechless when questioned, but he remained firmly standing at the door, refusing to move aside no matter what.

He had finally found an opportunity, and this time, he couldn't let Li Hanliang escape no matter what.

But Wang Ruiqiang didn't care whether he was willing or not.

He shoved Jing Wenqiang aside and pulled Li Hanliang out with him.

To be honest, Li Hanliang is still confused; he doesn't recognize these two people at all.

He looked at Zhou Meiping, seeking an explanation, but Zhou Meiping only gave him a sly smile, telling him to calm down.

"Young man, don't worry. As long as you abide by the law, no one can hurt you when you do business on Xingfu Street," Wang Ruiqiang patted Li Hanliang on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Thank you, Officer Wang." Li Hanliang nodded sincerely.

Jing Wenqiang stood aside, watching helplessly as Li Hanliang was taken away. How could he swallow this insult?

"This matter is under the jurisdiction of our health bureau, and I will follow it to the end no matter what!" Jing Wenqiang said, and followed up, looking as if he wanted to die with Li Hanliang.

But of course, in his current situation, there's nothing he can do but follow Li Hanliang and the others like a grandson.

The group returned to Xingfu Street Police Station. As soon as they entered, Li Hanliang saw Chen Longhu and four other people squatting in the corner.

These five men, who were just swaggering around in his shop, are now squatting in the corner, looking as pathetic as five big quails.

“Officer Wang, I trust my employees. The steamed buns we make are definitely compliant with regulations,” Li Hanliang said.

Wang Ruiqiang nodded, gesturing for Li Hanliang to sit down.

Jing Wenqiang coughed and said, "These people used to live a life of extreme danger; of course they know the consequences of betraying the people. Boss Li, if what you're doing is truly legal and compliant, how dare they slander you? Aren't they afraid of the consequences?"

"Or do you think these people simply don't want to stay in Anfeng County anymore?"

As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Chen Longhu and the others, his eyes practically radiating a warning.

Chen Longhu didn't dare to look up, his shrewd eyes darting around, clearly weighing something.

Wang Ruiqiang glanced at Jing Wenqiang, seeing right through his little scheme, but he didn't point it out.

After all, Jing Wenqiang is indeed fashionable and famous. This matter was handled by the Health Bureau, so Jing Wenqiang is qualified to stay here.

"Alright, let's start taking the statement. Chen Longhu, come here."

Wang Ruiqiang waved to Chen Longhu.

Chen Longhu didn't dare to breathe loudly and could only grit his teeth and walk over.

"You just said that someone instructed you to frame Li Ji. Who was that person?" Wang Ruiqiang asked directly.

"This...this..." Chen Longhu couldn't help but want to look up at Jing Wenqiang.

Jing Wenqiang was no pushover. He immediately realized the danger and looked at Chen Longhu, "Speak quickly! If you don't want to be kicked out of Anfeng County, explain yourself clearly! Who is secretly paying you to do these things!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Longhu immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, yes! There was someone who suddenly knocked on my window in the middle of the night last night, gave me a hundred yuan and a note, and told me to go to Li's shop today to cause trouble."

The more he spoke, the more convincing it sounded. "Oh my, last night scared me so much! I didn't sleep a wink all night. Who was so amazing?"

"The main problem is that I chased after him immediately last night, but he disappeared without a trace. It was pitch black outside, and I couldn't see anything."

"Nonsense!" Wang Ruiqiang slammed his fist on the table in anger. "I think you're clearly protecting this person!"

"Chen Longhu, seeing how afraid you are, doesn't that mean the person who ordered you is right here?"

Wang Ruiqiang's eyes flashed as he scanned everyone. "Just point out who it is!"
