Chapter 46: Chapter 42: Arresting Sun Ming! Third Page of the Leather Book!

Checking the water meter?

That can’t be right...

"What era is this that we’re still checking water meters? Do we even have one?"

Zhao Fang muttered to herself, pulling the door open as she spoke.

The moment the door opened, several people with upright postures, dressed in black and white suits, with red ties around their necks and solemn faces, appeared in front of her.

This is...

People checking the water meter!?

Since when did people checking water meters dress so well?

Zhao Fang’s heart tightened, and she placed her hand on the door.

Sun Ming, who was eating noodles, suddenly felt a tightness in his chest but pretended to remain calm, continuing to eat.

Zhao Fang began to close the door while saying, "You must have the wrong door. We don’t have a water meter..."

As she spoke, she was about to close the door, but unexpectedly, a hand pressed against the door, pushing it open with force.

"Bang!"

In an instant, the door swung open.

The group of people outside walked in expressionlessly.

The person leading them glanced around, finally settling their gaze on Sun Ming at the dining table, continuously eating noodles.

Without saying a word, the leader pulled out an ID.

"Eastern Country Commission of Discipline Inspection, have you heard of it?"

Sun Ming glanced at it and nodded.

He naturally recognized it. If a judge has issues, it’s these people who investigate, but...

Under normal circumstances, the commission’s level should correspond to the level of the person being investigated!

What level are they?

Eastern Country Commission of Discipline Inspection!!!

And he himself?

A judge at a grassroots court...

This... Does this require using a sledgehammer to crack a nut? It’s more like using a cannon to shoot a mosquito!

A tumultuous sea of emotions surged in Sun Ming’s heart, and his thoughts instantly scattered, emotions churning within him.

After a long while, he finally spoke.

"Why are you looking for me?"

"What is there to check in an ordinary person’s home?"

Hearing this, Zheng Hu, the leader of the commission, chuckled and gave his people a look.

Instantly, the others understood and began investigating the whole room.

Zheng Hu stood beside Sun Ming, speaking with a cheerful smile:

"Nothing much, just wanted to have a chat with you."

"Mr. Sun... You’re such a high-ranking official, how come you’re eating this?"

Saying this, Zheng Hu pointedly glanced at the bowl of clear broth noodles in front of Sun Ming.

"This really doesn’t match your status."

Sun Ming felt a shock in his heart, but he muddled through, saying:

"What status do I have? Am I not just someone with a gavel?"

"Besides, no matter how high one’s status is, it’s still about serving others, right? This noodle tastes quite good to me."

"I tell you, though it looks plain, if you add some garlic..."

"It has a unique flavor!"

As he spoke, Sun Ming tried to force a smile, but after a long effort, he produced a face more pitiful than if he were crying.

Zheng Hu squinted at him, revealing a meaningful smile, and then glanced around. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"But, speaking of which,"

"The decor in this house... That big color TV, tsk, not cheap I bet."

"Moreover, as far as I know, your son is studying abroad, and the tuition..."

This place isn’t in a good location.

The community is old and looks like a retirement home.

Yet the interior of Sun Ming’s home is starkly different!

"Ah, I’ve saved money all my life, and I can’t even enjoy some renovation in my old days?"

Sun Ming tried hard to speak, his head lowered, continuously shoveling noodles into his mouth.

"My son studies well, his expenses come from scholarships..."

"Oh."

Hearing this, Zheng Hu suddenly understood, "Looks like I misunderstood you."

Sun Ming said nothing, still burying himself in his noodles, while Zhao Fang stood by, not knowing what to do.

For a long time.

The several people searching the room all returned, shaking their heads at Zheng Hu.

They hadn’t found anything in the house.

Zheng Hu smiled calmly, looking back at Sun Ming.

"It seems I really misunderstood you."

"Alright, in that case, we won’t disturb your meal any longer."

With that, he proceeded to walk out.

Sun Ming exhaled a sigh of relief, showing a faint smile on his face.

"Take care on your way out; I’m still eating, so I won’t see you off."

Zheng Hu suddenly stopped, turned, and spoke playfully, "I think you should see us off."

"I..."

Sun Ming was about to politely refuse, but was abruptly held up by several people.

"What are you doing!?"

He looked shocked, still speaking as he was shoved into the car downstairs.

"I’m still eating, what if my noodles get soggy!?"

"Ha ha."

Zheng Hu said nothing, simply instructed the driver to start the car.

"Head to Naihai Garden."

Naihai Garden?

The moment Sun Ming heard this, cold sweat immediately beaded on his forehead.

Naihai Garden isn’t a garden, it’s just a beautified name.

Its real name is... a cemetery!

Yes, it’s a high-end cemetery. As for what Zheng Hu and the others are doing there...

A long while.

The car suddenly stopped.

Zheng Hu got out without a word.

"Bang!"

The car door opened. Zheng Hu coldly looked at Sun Ming, waiting for him to get out.

Sun Ming was trembling, as he stretched his leg out, he suddenly felt it become as limp as a noodle, instantly collapsing to the ground.

"Take him away."

Zheng Hu didn’t say much. He had someone drag Sun Ming towards the cemetery.

A long while.

He stood before a gravestone named Sun Zheng; it was the place of Sun Ming’s deceased father.

Normally, this is not a place for noise, but Zheng Hu coldly looked on and waved his hand.

"Smash it open!"

As soon as the order was given.

The people around immediately began digging beneath the gravestone right in front of Sun Ming!

"Crack!"

At the moment the corner broke, a streak of gold appeared from the shattered gap.

Sun Ming’s forehead immediately started sweating, as if drenched in rain. His whole body went limp, and his mind went blank.

Zheng Hu gave a disdainful smile, lifted a hammer with his own hands, and smashed the outer layer, taking out the gold inside.

"Well, a little yellow fish, hard currency?"

Zheng Hu held the gold bar, squatted in front of Sun Ming, and his eyes were quite playful.

"I... I don’t know, I don’t know!"

"Who put the stuff in my dad’s grave... I don’t know, I really don’t know!"

Sun Ming’s face was completely pale, panicked, looking nothing like someone who would hold a hammer.

Zheng Hu intended to continue mocking him.

But suddenly a steaming stench emerged, he sniffed, frowned immediately, and instinctively looked beneath Sun Ming.

To see that, without realizing it, the man had urinated in his pants, and it was soaking into his father’s grave.

Zheng Hu suddenly lost interest.

He stood up and said coldly:

"Take him away!"

After saying that, he narrowed his eyes and, without caring for Sun Ming, walked away directly.

The person he came to catch...

Sun Ming is not the first.

Nor will he be the last!

...

...

Hanhai City was always just a small, unnoticed place, to be honest.

The police chief, Du Tao, considered that Hanhai’s fame might be due to its scenery or culture.

But never expected it to be because of a case!

In just a few days, a series of arrangements unfolded.

Du Tao was frantic, patching up loopholes everywhere.

August 1st.

Zheng Hu started arresting people, and the interrogation room’s lights stayed on 24/7.

...

August 7th.

The apprehended Zhu Hong finally couldn’t bear the interrogation and confessed everything.

On the same day.

In the detention room where Chen Jian had been for months, upon hearing the news, he was so infuriated that he couldn’t catch his breath, and fell to the ground, eyes blacked out.

...

Until August 14th.

In July, Xu Liang filed the case. Following Shi Shan’s words, Chen Hua appealed, and the entire approval process was exceptionally smooth, without any hindrance.

August 14th.

Xu Liang accompanied Chen Hua to the court trial according to law.

Almost without much effort, the judge ruled in favor of Chen Hua, and Chen Jian was ordered to return his money and compensate accordingly.

The whole process was extremely smooth!

That afternoon.

Five o’clock.

In front of the grassroots people’s courthouse.

Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi stood at the courthouse entrance, looking at the courthouse hall.

Yang Ruoxi pondered for a long time, then suddenly frowned and questioned:

"Well, it was a bit too smooth."

"Why didn’t anyone block the filing?"

"This isn’t right. When I sued, it didn’t go this smoothly..."

Xu Liang didn’t respond.

He was deep in thought, until suddenly something stirred in his heart, as if there was something guiding him.

Looking at Yang Ruoxi, he turned sideways and took out a leather book from his briefcase and put it on his hand.

In his palm, the leather book seemed to be blown open by the wind.

As the cover and the ’Snail·Case’ flipped...

Xu Liang’s complexion suddenly changed.

Only to see the third page slowly flipping.

Xu Liang: ?

He couldn’t help but exclaim.

"What, coming again!?"

Meanwhile.

In the Hanhai City Public Security Bureau.

Looking at the gradually completed work, the exhausted face of Chief Du Tao broke into a smile.

"Finally... I can rest for a bit."
