12: Ren Jing

"Jiang Fei! Don't talk nonsense. You knowingly broke the law, and to curry favor with your superiors, you dared to openly use private torture. Get out of here immediately and go write a self-criticism for me."

Deputy Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau instantly flew into a rage, pointing at Jiang Fei's nose and reprimanding him, feigning righteousness and telling Jiang Fei to go write a self-criticism. In reality, he wanted to downplay the incident, sweep it under the rug, and muddle through.

Jiang Fei was stunned for a moment, initially somewhat unwilling, but quickly reacted.

The person he offended today was the Mayor, and it seemed the Mayor took this matter very seriously. If he could just get away with writing a simple self-criticism, that would be incredibly lucky! He weighed the pros and cons in his heart and immediately changed his attitude.

"Yes, yes, Director Zhang's lesson is correct. I know I was wrong. I'll go back and write a self-criticism and deeply reflect on my mistakes."

Jiang Fei nodded repeatedly in agreement, then turned around dejectedly, intending to slip away quickly.

"Wait!"

Just as Jiang Fei was about to reach the door, a cold voice suddenly rang out, stopping him. It was Ren Jing who spoke. Having been in officialdom for a long time and met countless people, how could she not see the little scheme Director Zhang was plotting? She observed everything with cold eyes, already understanding everything in her heart.

Jiang Fei was immediately frozen in place, caught between a rock and a hard place, unable to leave or stay. A thin layer of sweat beaded on his forehead.

"Director Wang, how do you plan to resolve this matter today?"

Ren Jing's lips curved into a smile, her sharp gaze fixed on Wang Mingrui. Her unspoken authority made Wang Mingrui feel somewhat breathless.

"Director Zhang, effective today, you are suspended from all duties and placed under investigation. As for Jiang Fei, for using private torture to curry favor with his superiors, the circumstances are egregious. He is dismissed from the police force and will never be rehired!"

Wang Mingrui saw that Ren Jing's attitude was firm and knew that this matter could not be easily settled. He could only make a decisive move; saving himself was the priority.

"This—! Director Wang, this matter hasn't been clarified yet. I was also lax in supervising my subordinates and didn't know Jiang Fei did such a thing!"

Upon hearing that he was suspended, Deputy Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau immediately panicked, his face distraught, still trying to argue.

"Hmph! Do you take me for a fool?" Wang Mingrui's face was extremely grim. He didn't bother to pay attention to Deputy Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau anymore. Instead, he turned to look at Ren Jing and said cautiously:

"Mayor Ren, I wonder if this handling satisfies you?"

"Director Wang, the city has recently been focusing on cadre discipline issues, as you know. When we do things, we aim for the satisfaction of the public, not my satisfaction, understand?"

Ren Jing reminded him.

"Understood, understood! Mayor Ren is absolutely right!"

Wang Mingrui nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, since the matter has been mostly resolved, bring out Qin Shou. I want to see him."

Seeing this, Ren Jing said no more and directly stated her request.

"Yes, yes, I'll arrange for someone to do it right away!"

Wang Mingrui agreed repeatedly, then turned his head and said to Xue Min, who was beside him: "Xue Min, you handled this matter well. Now, you go and bring that Qin Shou over."

"Understood! Director Wang!"

Seeing that the two scoundrels, Jiang Fei and Deputy Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, had finally fallen, and Qin Shou was about to be rescued, Xue Min was overjoyed. She saluted, then turned and walked quickly towards where Qin Shou was being held.

Qin Shou had just been locked in the detention center, his butt barely warm, when he heard a series of crisp footsteps approaching from afar. He looked up and saw a tall, valiant female officer jogging towards his cell.

It was the busty Police Beauty, Xue Min. Xue Min was wearing a fitted police uniform, and as she ran, her chest bounced up and down, a magnificent sight.

"Qin Shou, you can come out now."

Xue Min smiled as she opened the door to the detention room.

"That fast?"

Although Qin Shou knew he would have rescuers, he didn't expect such high efficiency.

"Of course, you're really something! The Mayor personally came to pick you up, how could it not be fast?"

Xue Min blinked, her tone a little playful.

"Mayor?"

Qin Shou was slightly surprised, not expecting Yan Yourong to have such strong connections, directly calling the Mayor to help him. Qin Shou was deeply moved and decided that another day, he must wholeheartedly and with all his might support Yan Yourong.

"Let's go, I'll take you over."

Xue Min gestured for Qin Shou to follow her.

"Thanks for today. How about we exchange contact information, and I'll treat you to dinner sometime?"

Qin Shou expressed his gratitude, having a good impression of Xue Min, and planned to win over this beautiful Police Beauty.

Anyway, his system would grant skills as long as he won over beauties, and with someone like Xue Min, the skills granted would definitely not be bad.

After his rebirth, Qin Shou had come to understand a truth.

"That is, in this world, honest people always get hurt, while scumbags? Scumbags get a lot, a lot of love."

"Okay!"

Xue Min felt a surge of sweetness in her heart. She didn't know why, but she found it hard to control herself when she saw Qin Shou. She immediately took out her phone and exchanged WeChat contacts with Qin Shou.

"Ding! Detected an increase in target Xue Min's favorability, triggering a temporary quest: Win over the beautiful Police Beauty. Upon successful completion, a Profound-tier skill will be dropped."

"Wow, as expected of a top-tier Police Beauty, she actually gave me a quest. Looks like I have to win her over."

Originally, Qin Shou still felt some guilt, but now it was completely gone. It was a system quest, he had no choice but to pursue it!

"Target: Xue Min, height 172cm, weight 110 jin, measurements: 89, 63, 88. Characteristics: Admires strong, powerful, and righteous men. Originally admired her superior Jiang Fei, but now despises him immensely."

Upon receiving the system prompt, Qin Shou immediately activated his Invincible Eagle Eye skill, clearly seeing all of Xue Min's information.

"Originally admired Jiang Fei? Now despises him immensely? Is it because of me?"

Qin Shou pondered, combining the information given by the system with Xue Min's previous change in attitude towards him. He couldn't help but feel a little smug. Had he unknowingly replaced Jiang Fei in Xue Min's heart?

"What are you standing there for? Everyone's gone, hurry up and follow!"

Seeing Qin Shou standing still in a daze, Xue Min couldn't help but turn her head and look at him with a puzzled expression.

"Oh! Okay, coming right away."

Qin Shou snapped out of his thoughts, quickly nodded, put away his musings, and swiftly followed Xue Min's footsteps.

A moment later, the two arrived at Ren Jing's location.

"Qin Shou, this is Mayor Ren."

Xue Min walked up to Ren Jing, softly introduced her to Qin Shou, and gently pointed at Ren Jing.

Qin Shou's eyes immediately lit up, and he couldn't help but take another look at Ren Jing. He secretly sighed in his heart:

"This Mayor is too beautiful. Her beauty surpasses Yan Yourong's by a few points, and most importantly, her aura as a strong woman is truly one in a million."

"Target: Ren Jing, height 169cm, weight 106 jin, measurements: 91, 64, 89."

"Characteristics: High IQ, strong woman, efficient in her work."

"On the surface, she looks down on all men in the world, but deep down, she yearns for love, especially liking strong, domineering men, longing to be conquered."

"Wow, likes strong men? As expected, beneath that formidable exterior lies a heart for SM."
