Chapter 155: Chapter 155 I Want to File a Counterclaim
Soon, a group of people arrived at the Police Station.
Throughout the journey, Xia Chuyi was utterly serene, which upon seeing, made Zhang Xiaoling feel even more suffocated.
“Hmph, bumpkin, I want to see if you can still be so composed once you’re inside the Police Station!” Zhang Xiaoling sneered at her before marching through the main entrance.
He Qing followed behind, unable to conceal the mad thrill of impending vengeance in his eyes.
Xia Chuyi raised an eyebrow, these two fools, blissfully unaware of how long their arrogance would last.
She followed the two police officers inside.
As soon as she entered, she heard a cheerful inquiry.
“Vice Director Chang…” The two police officers hurried to greet the person.
Vice Director Chang nodded his head and casually asked, “What’s the situation here?”
The two officers didn’t dare to withhold the details and said, “This comrade, Xia Chuyi, is reported for assaulting a soldier and undermining national stability and unity.”
“Oh, Xia Chuyi… Pfft!” Vice Director Chang spewed out his tea in shock, staring at her, “You are Xia Chuyi?”
His gaze was strange; did he recognize her?
“Yes, my name is Xia Chuyi.” She answered.
“From Heshan Village, Qingshan Town?” he asked again.
“Yes.” Xia Chuyi nodded, growing more puzzled.
Did he truly recognize her?
“Xia Chuyi, little sister-in-law…” Vice Director Chang exclaimed with wide eyes, letting the words slip out unconsciously.
“What?” The people around didn’t catch what he had said clearly.
“Cough cough, young comrade, young comrade.” Vice Director Chang hurriedly corrected himself.
Only Xia Chuyi narrowed her eyes slightly.
Little sister-in-law, a very familiar way of addressing her.
Could this man be one of Huo Shiqian’s?
She recalled Huo Shiqian telling her before he left to write to him if there was an issue—implying he would take care of matters for her.
Was this the person he was referring to?
“Hello, my name is Chang Luhui.” Chang Luhui introduced himself with an unusually warm and friendly demeanor.
Chang Luhui? That name sounded very familiar.
Chang Luhui, the Vice Director of the Ling County Public Security Bureau, had made significant contributions in the Zhang Zhicheng case, and later on, became a relentless member in purging the entire Ling County of corrupt forces.
Could it really be him?
This man, if she remembered correctly, was an adversary to the current Public Security Bureau Chief Lin Aiguo.
And he was one of Huo Shiqian’s men?
It was just too coincidental.
“This comrade Xia Chuyi looks like a law-abiding good citizen at first glance; how could she possibly attack someone?” Now aware she was one of their own, Chang Luhui spoke with complete confidence.
“Vice Director Chang, you may be a vice director, but perhaps your discernment isn’t all that clear, is it?” Zhang Xiaoling, upon hearing this, hastily interjected.
She obviously knew Chang Luhui but considered him inferior to her uncle and thus spoke quite rudely.
“Otherwise, it wouldn’t be my uncle assuming the role of the bureau chief.” Zhang Xiaoling glanced at Xia Chuyi’s youthful and attractive face and scoffed, “In my view, this Xia Chuyi doesn’t look like a decent person at all!”
Chang Luhui glanced at Zhang Xiaoling and replied with a smiling face, “My big niece is quite interesting, aren’t you? You mean to say you have better judgment than your uncle? Your vision is better than mine? If you see someone as a villain, they must be a villain?”
Zhang Xiaoling was momentarily at a loss for words.
“I think Comrade Xia Chuyi here is a fine comrade, surely this is all a misunderstanding, let her go, let her go,” Chang Luhui gestured dismissively to the two officers.
The two officers glanced at each other, unsure of what to do.
“Don’t you dare let her go!” Zhang Xiaoling called out hastily.
Xia Chuyi gave a cold smile, “I’m sorry, but even if you wanted to release me now, I wouldn’t leave. I still have scores to settle slowly.”
Having allies in high places made handling affairs much easier.
“Nice to meet you, Vice Director Chang. I wish to file a countercharge for defamation against this gentleman here named He Qing.”
