14: Chapter 14 My ex-girlfriend wants to get back together? I dumped that materialistic woman!

Around 1990, prefecture-level cities began establishing Television Stations one after another.

Due to the need for signal transmission, most Television Stations were built on small hills in the city center.

The Tongan Television Station was located at the foot of Xiushan, with a signal transmission tower standing on the summit behind the office building.

Zhao Yang and his colleagues thus had the opportunity to work within the picturesque Xiushan Park.

Su Yawen had a tall figure, and a white dress made her temperament appear even more outstanding.

Zhao Yang looked at Su Yawen, feeling somewhat dazed.

While feeling regret, he also found it somewhat amusing.

"Used to being fawned over by a simp, and now that I've stopped, it's a bit uncomfortable, isn't it?"

Having had his heart broken by this woman in his previous life, Zhao Yang did not want to be hurt a second time.

He stopped in his tracks, met Su Yawen's gaze, and smiled.

"Are you... a waiting-husband stone, or leaning against the door hoping for your husband's return?"

Su Yawen's face flushed red at first, then immediately turned cold as frost.

She had already made up her mind over the past two days.

Zhao Yang was always obsessed with doing exposés and seeking justice for the disadvantaged.

Tongan City was only so big; if he kept going like this, he would offend everyone.

Being with him might be noble, but there were no friends and no future.

It was better to break up early to avoid wasting her own prime youth.

Therefore, the moment she saw Zhao Yang enter the park, she went to wait under the camphor tree.

She hadn't expected this kid to make her sound like a lovelorn woman in a boudoir with just one sentence.

After all, they had been dating for several years, and she had originally wanted to break up tactfully so that neither side would be too embarrassed.

But now that she had been provoked by Zhao Yang, she couldn't even be bothered to act anymore.

She stamped her foot and retorted angrily: "Wait for you to come back? You think you're worthy! Look at the other colleagues—they have friends wherever they go and are constantly at dinners. And you?"

"If you weren't carrying a camera on your shoulder, who would even know you?"

"Following you means getting nothing. Can you get a raise, or can you get a permanent position?"

"I'm just telling you, we're done! Say things like that to someone else in the future!"

Even the reason for the breakup was so utilitarian.

As expected, Su Yawen was still the same Su Yawen.

However, Zhao Yang was no longer the same Zhao Yang as before.

He curled his lips and flashed a scornful smile at Su Yawen:

"Think I have no future? I can tell you right now, I will not sell my conscience for money or position!"

Su Yawen snorted, "Heh, how noble! Trying to overturn the case for a murderer—you'll offend everyone sooner or later!"

"That's my business," Zhao Yang nodded at Su Yawen, "From now on, we go our separate ways."

After speaking, he turned and walked toward the office building.

Su Yawen was stunned. Was this the reaction this bastard was supposed to have?

Shouldn't he be begging bitterly, only to be kicked away by her?

Instead, before she could even lift her foot, she had been kicked by the other party.

She felt so frustrated she wanted to vomit blood.

Holding back a breath of foul air, she kicked the camphor tree trunk without regard for her image and stormed off.

When she reached the entrance of the station, she happened to run into Director Xiong Bo, the deputy director of the Arts Department.

Director Xiong Bo approached with a fawning smile, "Yawen, who made you angry?"

This guy was always secretly pursuing Su Yawen behind Zhao Yang's back, but Su Yawen had never given him a good look.

This time, for the first time ever, Su Yawen did not roll her eyes at him.

Instead, she said pitifully, "Even if you knew who it was, what could you do about it?"

Zhao Yang watched the two of them from behind the window. When did this pair of adulterous wretches hook up?

Damn it, if he had hesitated even a little bit to break up, he would have been cuckolded!

Meanwhile, in the office of the Special Investigation Team on the second floor of the Municipal Bureau Criminal Investigation Detachment.

After Wang Mingyuan, the deputy director of the Inspection and Guidance Division of the Police Inspection Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, arrived in Tongan, he quickly came here accompanied by leaders of the Municipal Bureau.

Don't look down on him just because he was only a deputy division director; the Tongan Municipal Bureau dared not underestimate him in the slightest, and the entire leadership team accompanied him.

Upon seeing Luo Jinghui, Wang Mingyuan saluted, "Captain Luo, have you understood the situation clearly?"

Luo Jinghui nodded, "The Tongan Municipal Bureau has already reported it, and the files have been transferred."

Wang Mingyuan turned back, looked at Shen Zhentao and the others, and smiled, "Comrades from the Tongan Municipal Bureau, please go back. Next, I need to understand the case details with Captain Luo."

Shen Zhentao had a fawning smile on his face, his feet not moving an inch, "Providing good service for Director Wang is our duty."

Wang Mingyuan frowned, "Is your Tongan Municipal Public Security Bureau that free?"

Shen Zhentao's smile froze on his face. After all, coming from the Ministry, he was indeed arrogant.

This remark didn't give him any face at all.

Fortunately, Shen Zhentao had been grinding in the officialdom for decades, and his surface-level social skills were excellent.

He kept his smile unchanged, "Alright, Director Wang, you go ahead and get busy. Deputy Director Huang will stay here. If you have any needs, just order him."

He had to leave his confidant here to report back if he discovered any movement.

Wang Mingyuan knew that if he refused again, it would be a bit unreasonable.

If anything happened next, it would be difficult to handle.

Seeing him nod slightly, Shen Zhentao and the others slowly retreated.

Luo Jinghui glanced at Huang Shixun, not avoiding him at all, and spoke directly, "Director Wang, when I arrived with the Provincial Corps Special Investigation Team, there were indeed two police officers carrying out torture to extract a confession."

Wang Mingyuan was here to investigate exactly this; Luo Jinghui went straight to the point.

"The suspect was only physically unwell and mentally on the verge of collapse, but his body did not suffer serious injury, so the involved police officers did not commit a crime."

"Oh?" Wang Mingyuan raised an eyebrow, "Where are those two police officers now?"

Luo Jinghui led the Special Investigation Team to Tongan mainly to take over the case. Dealing with police misconduct was not within his purview.

After confirming that Sun Hongwei's body was fine, he had handed those two police officers over to Huang Shixun to handle.

He did not answer Wang Mingyuan, but instead cast his gaze toward Huang Shixun.

Huang Shixun had a smile on his face, looking fawning, "How could the Tongan Municipal Bureau allow such black sheep to exist? The Bureau Party Committee made the decision this morning to clear these two from the police force!"

"Fired?" Wang Mingyuan twitched the corner of his mouth, "That was quite fast!"

Huang Shixun was shocked. Although this Director Wang was young, his words were aggressive at every turn.

Could it be that he had obtained some evidence?

Huang Shixun put away his smile and became serious, "Law enforcement personnel who do not follow procedures and do not act according to the law—such people cannot be kept for even a moment!"

Wang Mingyuan looked at Huang Shixun with a faint, ambiguous smile, "The Tongan Municipal Bureau's attitude toward handling irregular police officers is firm, and the disposal was decisive. It is admirable."

Speaking of this, he raised his wrist to check his watch and changed the subject, "I'll give you one hour to bring those two people to the Special Investigation Team. I want to interrogate them personally."

Huang Shixun: They've already been dealt with, and you still won't let it go?

Obviously, the other party wanted to use these two people as a breakthrough point to dig deeper.

Huang Shixun couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. He responded and turned to leave the office.

For many years, he had never had this feeling; his legs felt like they were filled with lead.

After Huang Shixun left, Wang Mingyuan took an A4 printed image out of his briefcase and placed it next to the DNA comparison report in the file.

Seeing that the two reports were identical, Wang Mingyuan quickly put away the printed A4 paper and said to Luo Jinghui, "With this report, it is very puzzling that the Tongan Municipal Bureau did not concentrate its forces to investigate, but instead resorted to torture to extract a confession."

Wang Mingyuan's brows were almost knitted together as he asked, "You are a case-solving expert. How likely do you think it is that Sun Hongwei committed the crime?"

Luo Jinghui waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm no expert, I just happened to solve a few big cases."

"Our people have already investigated Sun Hongwei's movements before and after the crime, and we have reached a preliminary conclusion."

Wang Mingyuan's heart sank, "What conclusion?"
