Chapter 460: Chapter 460: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Xia Chuyi finally found Wang Xiaofang, and the weight that had been on her heart was at last completely lifted.

She used the Police Station’s phone to call her uncle and aunt in Ling County and report the situation.

“Once the local police finish taking my statement and coordinate with the H province police, I’ll be back soon.”

With her precise news, the relatives in Ling County could finally rest at ease.

After ending the call, she went to see Wang Xiaofang.

Father Wang and Mrs. Wang were now constantly by Wang Xiaofang’s side, not leaving her for a moment.

Having gone through this ordeal, Wang Xiaofang also felt somewhat frightened.

When asked about her willingness to be lured away by Tian Jie, it turned out Tian Jie had told her, “G city has a lot of delicious food.”

And at that time, she happened to be so angry about Xia Mei’s affair that she had lost her reason.

“I just thought, he looks down on my family, right? So I’ll go to G city to make money, a lot of money, to show him, and see if his family still looks down on me.”

Wang Xiaofang had said these words through tears to the police.

Father Wang and Mrs. Wang, including Xia Chuyi, all felt a mix of laughter and tears.

One could only say that people like Tian Jie, who did that kind of job, were truly skilled at reading people.

After the investigation was complete and the statements recorded, the police immediately moved to arrest “Red Red Red” Tian Jie and others.

When they returned, Deputy Director Xiong’s expression was extremely grave.

Guo Jiacheng’s expression was also quite gloomy.

“What’s wrong? Didn’t you catch Tian Jie?” Xia Chuyi asked, puzzled by their expressions.

“We caught Tian Jie,” Deputy Director Xiong said gravely, “but one of the leaders committed suicide on the spot.”

“What?” Xia Chuyi was startled and immediately thought of the events of her previous life.

Indeed, a similar incident had occurred in her past life.

Back then, the police’s final conclusion was suicide out of fear of criminal prosecution.

But in reality, it was not so.

Deputy Director Xiong speculated that the leader who committed suicide did so to hide the real power behind “Red Red Red,” to keep their identity a secret.

But their chief director was a person who was somewhat timid and afraid of taking responsibility, afraid to be held accountable, and had wrapped up the case prematurely.

In the end, Deputy Director Xiong could only covertly change Xia Chuyi’s name and prevent her from being implicated in the case, then he quietly continued the investigation.

As a result, his career was never the same and faced many obstacles.

“I, Guo Jiacheng, refuse to believe there are such untouchable deities in G city, acting so brazenly. Do they really think they can mess around with the Guo family’s name just for fun?” Guo Jiacheng next to him smacked the table and roared furiously, spraying saliva.

Seeing his eagerness to help, Deputy Director Xiong naturally expressed his gratitude immediately.

After the exchange between the two men, they managed to embarrass the police chief who had previously been indifferent and had kept out of the affair.

As for this outcome, Xia Chuyi found it acceptable.

At least with Guo Jiacheng’s involvement, Deputy Director Xiong’s career wouldn’t be hindered as it had been in her previous life.

As for who the hidden mastermind really was, that was something beyond Xia Chuyi’s concern now.

Now with Guo Jiacheng involved, and with the current crackdown, “Red Red Red” had failed to transition underground, so Xia Chuyi believed that the mastermind’s capture was just a matter of time.

After Deputy Director Xiong and Guo Jiacheng discussed their next steps, they came out together to send Xia Chuyi and the others to the guest house.

“Since Tian Jie has been arrested and Xiao Fang will identify the culprit, we don’t have anything else to do, right?” As they left the Police Station, Xia Chuyi suddenly asked Deputy Director Xiong.
