“Alright.” Yu Su had no intention of getting an answer today. She continued, “Regarding Wu Zhen’s case, the Metaphysics Management Office can take action now. Capture the murderer as soon as possible.”

Since they had managed to get such a huge gain by luring Peng Chan out, Yu Su planned to take advantage of the situation and send Zhao Lan to prison.

Ruan Dong said, “Alright, the people from the Second Department have been deliberately delaying the progress these few days. If you hadn’t asked me to wait a little longer, I would have fallen out with them long ago.”

The two of them chatted for a while on their strategies before hanging up.

Ruan Dong asked his subordinates to print out the chat records between Zhao Lan and Wu Zhen. He also took the evidence that Minister Wang Lang had asked his subordinates to create perjury and immediately showed it to Director Yan.

After Director Yan finished reading, he slammed the table and said angrily, “How dare they! I’ve repeatedly emphasized that I want the case to be done well, but they still dared to delay the progress!”

No wonder the culprit of an ordinary murder case had not been found after so long. It turned out that the Metaphysics Management Office had someone holding them back.

Over the past few days, Yan Jing had been scolded by his superiors because of this matter.

He was also warned by the higher-ups that the Xiao family was watching him very closely. If this case was not investigated clearly, he could forget about retiring normally.

Old Master Xiao even called Yan Jing every night and asked about the progress of the investigation every day. His tone was filled with dissatisfaction.

Yan Jing did not eat well or sleep well.

He even called Wang Lang to the office a few times and asked him to hurry up. Every time, Wang Lang agreed.

It turned out that Wang Lang’s promise was just perfunctory.

When Yan Jing thought of how frightened he had been for so many days, he became even angrier. Suppressing his anger, he called his secretary and said, “Ask Minister Wang to come to my office.”

“Yes!” The secretary immediately went to do it.

Not long after, Minister Wang walked into the office. His originally smiling face immediately darkened when he saw Ruan Dong.

Wang Lang looked at Director Yan’s serious face and red eyes. His heart skipped a beat and he had an ominous feeling. He slowed down.

Wang Lang walked to the desk and asked carefully, “Director Yan, why are you looking for me?”

Could it be that what he did had been discovered?

Yan Jing sneered. “I don’t dare to let Minister Wang do anything. Tell me, which family did you accept benefits from? How dare you delay the progress of the investigation!”

“Director, I didn’t. It’s not that you don’t know. I’ve always been hardworking and often work overtime in the management office until midnight. How could I deliberately delay the progress of the investigation?” Wang Lang was shocked and quickly said.

He looked at Ruan Dong and said firmly, “There must be a despicable person badmouthing me in front of you. Don’t believe him!”

As long as there was no evidence, he would not admit it.

Even if there was evidence, he could still push the responsibility to his subordinates. As long as Director Yan was willing to turn a blind eye, he could still be the minister of the Second Department.

Ruan Dong sneered and turned his head away.

He said nothing.

In any case, Wang Lang could not escape this calamity. There was no need for him to waste his breath. The evidence was already as solid as a mountain.

Wang Lang looked sad. “Director Yan, you have to believe me!”

“I have trusted you too much. That’s why I think you’ll never betray the organization for the sake of the country.” Yan Jing clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

All these years, he had been nurturing Wang Lang as the heir. However, his attitude towards Ruan Dong, who was equally outstanding, was relatively cold. He felt that Wang Lang was to his liking.

Now it seemed that he was going to change his mind.

Wang Lang also noticed the disappointment in Director Yan’s eyes. His heart felt like it was being squeezed by a pair of big hands and he could not breathe. “Director…”

Before he could finish pleading, Director Yan stood up and slammed the evidence in his hand on the table.

Yan Jing pointed at Minister Wang and said angrily, “You still want to quibble! I really misjudged you. I thought you would be a good seedling. I didn’t expect you to be the biggest sh*t in the entire Metaphysics Management Office. Look at these evidence yourself. Which one of them wronged you?”

His chest heaved violently as he continued to scold, “Don’t blame me. I’m more than 20 years older than you, but I’m not blind or deaf. I can still distinguish the truth.”

If not for the fact that Wang Lang’s brother was an official above, he really wanted to expel Wang Lang from the Metaphysics Management Office now.

Yan Jing was old and couldn’t keep up with his energy in the past few years, so he gave most of his power to the two ministers.

He also had the intention of observing the two ministers in secret.

He did not expect Wang Lang to become even more ambitious..
