Buying a fake certificate, and even if it’s not successful, leads to half a month of detention, which seems a bit excessive.

But who told her to try to get a fake marriage certificate with a president of a country?

The city’s bureau people entered the convenience store when the buyer, Tang, was pulling out a photo with His Excellency from her bag, coupled with the surveillance video on site provided by a passionate citizen Jin from Hongyang District, further confirming Tang’s audacity.

This is no longer just a case of insubordination.

No one knows what criminal activities Tang might plan with this fake marriage certificate.

If anything happens to His Excellency, it would lead to political turmoil in the country.

Thus, any factor threatening His Excellency’s safety will draw intense attention from all levels and departments.

With the matter involving the top leader, near the end of work hours, the entire city bureau was galvanized.

In a flash, Tang’s full name, gender, ID number, and academic record were pulled up, even the record of her being fined twenty yuan for riding an electric bike without a helmet last year was also laid on the interrogation room desk.

After ruling out the possibility that Tang is a member of foreign forces, the city bureau didn’t hand her over to the National Security Department.

Even so, they didn’t dare to be careless.

They sent five veteran interrogators to question Tang repeatedly.

Finally, it was confirmed that Tang indeed only intended to get a fake certificate.

As for why the groom is His Excellency—

Tang’s initial reason: simply to admire the strong.

Later, unable to resist repeated questioning, she finally confessed to being a faithful fan of His Excellency’s looks.

The Taobao membership name [Mr. Song’s Little Wife] became a crucial piece of evidence.

After the interrogation ended, the police officer holding the record book suddenly turned around and cast a glance: "Aren’t you the actress Tang—"

Before the word ’Li’ could be spoken, the other party denied it.

"No, I’m not."

"Really not?" The police officer was half-believing.

He spoke, and then looked down at the photo again.

Tang had already provided an explanation: "I like Tang Li’s looks, so I went to South Korea and changed my head."

Police officer: "..."

"Then what about the name?" The police officer continued: "It’s impossible for the name to be exactly the same."

Looking into each other’s eyes, Tang’s expression was almost blank.

Police officer: "..."

As if understanding something, the police officer did not insist on this matter anymore but made a considerate arrangement: "Originally planned to send you to the detention center in Fengtai District... later I’ll make a call to arrange for you to go to Changming District, where Lai Yuaner and Yang Ning happen to be too."

Tang Li: ...(个_个)

The police officer left, leaving her alone in the interrogation room.

The cellphone was temporarily confiscated.

So, it’s not that she doesn’t want to ask for outside help.

And she doesn’t really want to ask for help either.

Being detained for fake certificate dealings was an unexpected ending for her.

She could calculate all she wanted but didn’t foresee Jin Xinxin calling the police early, waiting for her in the convenience store; fortunately, she was smart enough not to have brought the divorce certificate with her; and her cellphone chat records were regularly cleared, otherwise, it would have been a massive reputation death scene.

Also fortunate was that the city bureau couldn’t check Song Baiyan’s personal files, or else...

But in the end, the matter of secretly getting a divorce certificate didn’t stay hidden.

If she doesn’t return to Tan Palace at night, Song Baiyan would definitely ask about her whereabouts.

If the people at the bottom check, they will certainly find she is already in the Changming District detention center waiting with a basin for a bath.

Tang Li waited in the interrogation room for about half an hour, and only then did the tightly shut door open again. Originally thought to be someone to take her to the detention center, she looked up, and the person who came into her view was He Wei.

Tang Li: "..."

At seven in the evening, the city bureau’s office hall was still brightly lit.

Tang Li followed He Wei out, and immediately saw Song Baiyan sitting there drinking tea.

To be precise, being accompanied while drinking tea, Song Baiyan.

Standing around Song Baiyan were several city bureau officers of one and two stars, as for the director, he was sitting discussing something with Song Baiyan.

Looking at this setup, it seemed like a leader suddenly coming to inspect the work of the lower levels.

Thinking of her own mishaps, Tang Li instinctively hid behind He Wei.

In just a few seconds, she gauged the distance from here to the gate with her eyes, contemplating her chances of sneaking out unnoticed, when Song Baiyan raised his head.
