As soon as Hou Yulai arrived at the office, the secretary made him tea and handed him today's newspaper as usual.

When Hou Yu came to read the newspaper, he liked quietness, so the secretary quietly left.

The aroma of tea fills the air, the years are peaceful, and it’s a rare moment of quietness.

I hadn't read two lines of the newspaper when the secretary came back with a grim look on his face.

"what happened?"

"director……"

"Just say what you want to say. Don't be hesitant." At this time, Hou Yulai didn't know that the four words "bolt from the blue" were already on the way.

"Director, you..." The secretary saw him pick up the cup to drink tea and quickly stopped the topic.

He was afraid that Hou Yulai would not be able to bear the blow and spill the tea on him again.

"What's the matter?" Hou Yulai looked solemn and put down the teacup in his hand.

His secretary is usually very sensible and steady. He has been with him for a long time. If nothing big had happened, he wouldn't be like this.

The secretary swallowed and said, "Wang Lijin has been arrested."

That's it? This is no big deal!

Just as Hou Yulai was about to speak, the secretary said, "Madam, Madam has also been arrested."

"What's going on!" Only then did Hou Yulai take it seriously. Wang Rui was a very smart person, and she knew her identity. In order to avoid getting herself into trouble outside, Wang Rui had always been very cautious. What happened this time?

He must have been implicated by Wang Lijin.

"What's going on? Speak up!"

The secretary had been trying to decide what words to use to describe the scene. Only after hearing Hou Yulai's anxious question did the secretary bite the bullet and tell the story.

"Wang Lijin was arrested in the guesthouse, and the charge was that he had promiscuous sex."

"Then what happened to the lady being arrested as well?"

"They were arrested together..." Seeing Hou Yulai's puzzled expression, the secretary simply closed his eyes and gritted his teeth to quickly recount what happened. "A total of three people were arrested in the guesthouse. In addition to Wang Lijin and his wife, there was also a woman. The scene was not very good at the time. It is said that the three people were naked. The scene was in chaos and many people were watching the excitement. Now everyone has been taken away."

Hou Yulai stood up suddenly, his face felt hot and spicy, as if he had been slapped twice.

Of course, he didn't think that the Wang siblings had done anything really dirty, but things were obviously not that simple. They were being plotted against, and the person who plotted against the Wang siblings was most likely targeting him.

"Where was the person taken?"

"The branch police station."

Hou Yulai slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, "Come with me."

"To the precinct?"

"Go back to my house."

The secretary didn't understand why he didn't rescue the person at this time and went home. But he didn't dare to ask, so he could only do whatever Hou Yu said.

The two rode their bicycles back to the Hou family's courtyard.

Hou Yulai asked his secretary to wait in the yard. The first thing he did when he got home was to close the door and touch the wall that looked fishy.

There is a secret hidden in this wall. When plastering the surface, Hou Yulai did it himself. There are several lines on it that he left deliberately, which cannot be imitated by others.

The lines were still there, and Hou Yulai breathed a sigh of relief.

Sometimes he had to go on business trips, and would be gone for ten days or half a month, which was enough time for him to tear down a wall and then restore it to its original state.

No one else knew about the lines, not even Wang Rui, so as long as the lines were still there, he would feel at ease.

Hou Yulai would never have thought that there is such a heaven-defying thing in this world called a system. Even more heaven-defying than the system is the big wheel, which can restore any pattern without any difference.

After making sure that there was no problem with the patterns on the wall, Hou Yulai quickly packed a few clothes, wrapped them in a bag, and handed them to the secretary.

The two men rode their bikes to the police station.

Hou Yulai wanted to see Wang Rui, but the police stopped him, saying, "The matter is too serious. You can't meet her."

Hou Yulai lost his temper in the reception room.

"Where is your leader? Let Zhang Xingye come to see me."

Hou Yulai had a say in the county. The Revolutionary Committee had great power during this period and covered all aspects.

In terms of rank, Hou Yulai is only one level higher than Zhang Xingye, but Zhang Xingye never takes Hou Yulai seriously. Sometimes the two of them even compete with each other at work and there are many disagreements.

"Who's looking for me?" Zhang Xingye seemed to have super hearing, and his voice arrived before the person arrived.

The door of the reception room was pushed open and Zhang Xingye walked in.

He was unkempt and his hair was greasy and stuck to his scalp. He hadn't washed it in a long time. His chin was covered with stubble, his mouth was stained with food, and his pants were covered with mud and water spots because they were frozen due to the cold weather.

Hou Yulai frowned subconsciously. As the head of the county bureau, it would be fine for him to personally go to the scene to arrest people and investigate cases, but he also made himself look like this, as if he was afraid that others would not know his dedication.

He looked down on Zhang Xingye, who was stubborn and had strong beliefs. They were not the same kind of people.

Similarly, Zhang Xingye also looked down on him. He always felt that Hou Yulai was two-faced and too pretentious.

Besides, the people in the Revolutionary Committee don’t have a good reputation! It’s a place where good and bad people mix together. They can only show off their power in the next few years. When the weather is clear, these people will be cleared.

The two have never gotten along and are never on good terms with each other when they meet.

"Zhang Xingye, your people captured my wife, don't tell me you don't know?"

"I know!" Zhang Xingye said as if it was a matter of course. "So what? She committed a crime, and my people act according to the rules. We can't treat her specially just because she is your family member! What, Director Hou, are you acting like a traitor again? Are you going to openly cover up for her?"

"you……"

The other party used the time he had cleaned up the mess for Wang Lijin to defend themselves, and Hou Yulai really couldn't think of any words to refute for a moment. After all, it was all because Wang Lijin was such a bastard and did so many things that gave people an advantage.

"I just want to see someone, is this not possible?" Hou Yulai felt like he was going to get internal injuries. Ever since he knew about this, he wanted to vomit blood. Now his internal organs felt as if someone was squeezing them, twisting and painful.

Zhang Xingye looked at the bag he brought, as if on purpose, "What did you bring?"

Hou Yulai almost gritted his teeth, "Clothes."

"Oh~"

Zhang Xingye seemed not to want to embarrass him anymore, and nodded to agree to the visit, but his words still deserved a beating, "Director Hou wants to take the person away this time, but it will be difficult without spending a lot of money. You have to know that so many people are watching, right! In public, two women and one man..."

With a bang, Hou Yulai slammed his fist on the table. "Zhang Xingye, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

He didn't believe that Zhang Xingxin couldn't see that the Wang siblings were being plotted against. The purpose of his saying this was to anger himself to death.

Zhang Xingye touched the table carefully, "Be careful, you'll have to pay for it if you break it!"
