After helping Cheng Rushan and others with investigations, He Liang became addicted to it, finding it more interesting than teaching.

He had since transferred to the Discipline Inspection Bureau to focus on undercover investigations.

As he put it, he went into teaching to find a wife, and now that he had found one, he had no desire to continue teaching.

“Sister-in-law, it’s nothing to worry about.”

Jiang Lin asked what was going on.

He Liang glanced around and whispered, “Meng Yiyi is dead.”

“Meng Yiyi is dead?” Jiang Lin said in surprise, “What does this have to do with Director Cheng?”

He Liang explained, “We found Meng Yiyi’s whereabouts and sent people to apprehend her, but she threatened to die if she wasn’t allowed to see Director Cheng alone.”

Jiang Lin: “Director Cheng wouldn’t have bothered with her.”

She knew Cheng Rushan’s character; he wouldn’t have interacted with Meng Yiyi personally, only sending people to arrest and interrogate her.

He Liang: “Sister-in-law, Director Cheng did go. After he met with Meng Yiyi, she died.”

“Died?” Jiang Lin looked at He Liang in shock.

Did Cheng Rushan kill Meng Yiyi, or did he say something that drove her to commit suicide?

If that were the case, it would be a serious mistake.

She became anxious, “Who was talking to Director Cheng?”

He Liang: “The former Director and the Public Security Chief.”

Jiang Lin: “Then we’ll just have to wait.”

With the former Director present, there was no need to worry too much; he would protect Cheng Rushan.

In the conference room, Cheng Rushan sat on one side, facing the former Director and the Provincial Public Security Chief.

The former Director was struggling to accept the situation.

He had planned to retire and ensure Cheng Rushan succeeded him.

After one term, Cheng could move to the special zone for two terms, and then he could advance to the central government.

This was the former Director’s ideal path, and he hoped Cheng Rushan could achieve it.

He saw Cheng Rushan as the perfect successor and had high hopes for him.

Cheng Rushan was calm, composed, smart, capable, and decisive, but also upright and flexible.

Such qualities were needed to reach the top.

“Cheng Rushan, explain what you and Meng Yiyi talked about and why she committed suicide?”

Cheng Rushan: “Chief, Director, Meng Yiyi…”

Last night, under Cheng Rushan’s close pursuit, Meng Yiyi was finally trapped and surrounded by the police.

She demanded a personal meeting with Cheng Rushan, threatening to reveal a major secret or even commit suicide if her demands weren’t met.

The case related to Bian Haitao had been directly assigned to Cheng Rushan by the Provincial Party Committee.

He Chuangjiang personally reported to Cheng Rushan, who then went to meet Meng Yiyi with He Chuangjiang.

Meng Yiyi was hiding in a farmer’s cellar on the outskirts of the city.

Believing that the most dangerous place was the safest, she had gone back to the outskirts of the provincial capital to hide.

Despite her efforts, she was still captured by Cheng Rushan.

When Cheng Rushan arrived, Meng Yiyi was sitting against the wall with a sharp knife pressed against her neck, threatening to commit suicide if anyone approached.

“You’d better make them stay away and not eavesdrop!” Meng Yiyi, still proud despite her situation, insisted.

Cheng Rushan raised an eyebrow but signaled He Chuangjiang and others to leave.

He looked at Meng Yiyi coldly. He didn’t have a deep impression of her—years ago in Shuihuai Village, he thought she was trouble.

Later, when she spread rumors about Jiang Lin, he had her imprisoned, preventing her from taking her college entrance exams.

Later, there was no further interaction.

Subsequently, it was discovered that the so-called mysterious fortune teller was actually her.

It was utterly ridiculous.

Previously, Cheng Rushan hadn’t taken her seriously, but after she associated with Bian Haitao, she predicted many events accurately, which was quite intriguing.

However, her predictions were inconsistent—some accurate, some not—which made it even more intriguing.

If she were so capable, how could she have led Bian Haitao step by step into destruction?

Did she have a grudge against him?

That was why he had come—to obtain firsthand information at the most opportune moment.

“You’d better provide valuable information.” Cheng Rushan didn’t need to threaten her; his cold, disdainful gaze conveyed his intent.

Meng Yiyi clenched her fists.

This man was entirely different from her previous life, but a person at the top is always at the top.

Even though he wasn’t in business or transportation, he remained an impressive figure.

Why was Jiang Lin so fortunate!

She must have a problem!
