Reborn as a prince, achieve the pinnacle of power

In the reception room, the soft lighting could not relieve the solemn atmosphere in the room.

"Prefect Huang, this is Captain Xu from the Imperial Guard Security Bureau."

Chen Hongtai carefully introduced Xu Zhengyang, who was sitting at the head seat at the long table, to Huang Rong.

"Hello, Captain Xu! I am Huang Rong, the governor of Siya."

After entering the reception room, Huang Rong's eyes immediately fell on Xu Zhengyang.

There was a fierce look in Xu Zhengyang's brows, and even in such an occasion, he still remained in a high state of alert.

Xu Zhengyang nodded to Huang Rong as a greeting, stared at Huang Rong with sharp eyes for a few seconds, and said in a deep voice:

"Prefect Huang, I believe that since you came here overnight, you understand the seriousness of this incident."

That short sentence, coupled with the sonorous and powerful voice, almost broke Huang Rong's defense.

"Captain Xu, I cannot deny the blame for my son's offense."

Huang Rong took a deep breath, forced an ugly smile on his face, and tried his best to make his tone sound sincere and resolute:

"I understand the importance of this matter and I am fully aware of its seriousness. We will definitely take the most stringent measures to deal with it. Everyone, including my son Huang Kui, will receive the corresponding punishment in accordance with the law. I promise that such a thing will never happen again."

Xu Zhengyang sneered: "Prefect Huang, your promise is not very convincing.

I heard that not long ago, you made the same promise to General Chu's wife... What was the result? "

"Yes, you are right to criticize."

Huang Rong glared at Chen Hongtai who had his head down, then turned to look at Xu Zhengyang and smiled bitterly: "In this matter, it is indeed my fault for not keeping my word. Due to lack of supervision, Huang Kui was allowed to leave the police detention room... But..."

Huang Rong said with a serious face, "However, I will supervise this personally and will definitely impose severe penalties on all those involved to serve as a warning to others."

"Haha, it won't do any good if you tell me that."

Xu Zhengyang's words were like a sharp blade, piercing the vital points without mercy.

He went on to say, "Prefect Huang, we strongly suspect Huang Kui of this incident, because he was seeking revenge after an unpleasant encounter with Mr. Bai at the Shangri-La Hotel.

Moreover, because General Chu Yuchen was sitting in the car, if any accident happened, it would lead to an unpredictable disaster.

This not only involves you, but also us security personnel will be severely punished.

So... there is only one thing you can do now, cooperate with our Imperial Security Bureau's investigation."

Huang Rong was stunned. If the charge of premeditated revenge on the leader was proven, not only would Huang Kui and others be sent to jail for life, but even his own parents would be implicated one by one.

Who doesn't have some unspeakable secrets? If this is discovered, then...

"There must be a misunderstanding here."

Huang Rong felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck him. He could not help sweating on his forehead. His face was no longer calm. He quickly explained, "I know Huang Kui. He is not so ignorant as to do such a mistake."

Huang Rong's words fell on deaf ears and failed to stir up any waves in Xu Zhengyang's heart.

Xu Zhengyang's eyes became even colder, and he spoke word by word:

"Prefect Huang, are you trying to tell me how well you know your son Huang Kui? Then take a look at what this is?"

Xu Zhengyang patted the file bag on the table and pushed it towards Huang Rong's desk.

"This is……"

Huang Rong opened the file bag slowly with trembling hands. The more he read the contents inside, the more frightened he became.

"This is evidence that your son Huang Kui has been rampant in Siya for just three years, and has teamed up with a group of like-minded playboys to commit crimes. What's even worse is that he took pleasure in harming innocent women."

Xu Zhengyang's face was as cold as ice: "How many of these things...were suppressed by you using your power after the incident. I think you should know better than me."

Huang Rong's face was as pale as paper. Looking at the pages of records in the document, in addition to admiring the intelligence gathering capabilities of the Imperial Security Bureau, he was also filled with fear.

"I...I really don't know. My wife did all this behind my back."

Huang Rong's voice trembled, he clenched his teeth, and forced himself not to fall down:

"Captain Xu, I didn't know about all this. I was always busy with official duties, and I left most of the household affairs to her.

I admit that I did not fulfill my supervisory responsibilities, but this does not mean that I deliberately covered up or condoned them. Please believe me, this is the first time I have discovered such a serious problem. "

"Do you think anyone would believe this?"

Xu Zhengyang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a hint of sarcasm on his face:

"Do you think that just because you didn't know can keep you out of it?

As a prefect, your failure to supervise is a dereliction of duty. Moreover, if these evil deeds were really carried out by your wife, then as a husband, didn't you notice anything at all?"

Xu Zhengyang's continuous questions left Huang Rong speechless for a moment. His face became paler and the sweat on his forehead dripped onto the table, making a slight sound.

He knew very well that no matter how he explained, the current situation was beyond his control.

"Director Chen."

Xu Zhengyang looked with disgust at the Governor of Siya who was slowly slumping in his chair, then raised his head to look at Chen Hongtai who had been standing not far away.

"arrive."

When Chen Hongtai heard the call, he quickly answered loudly. His slightly trembling voice betrayed his inner panic. He kept praying to God in his heart, hoping that he would not be implicated.

Xu Zhengyang did not rush to speak. His eyes were like two beams of cold light, fixed on Chen Hongtai's face, staring at him for a long time.

Chen Hongtai's heart was beating violently, up and down, as if all his disguises and defenses had been stripped away, and he was exposed nakedly to the other person's gaze.

"Do you think I should believe you?"

Xu Zhengyang's voice was low and cold, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Chen Hongtai's heart. There was no warmth in his eyes, just like ice in winter, which made people shudder.

Chen Hongtai's Adam's apple rolled a few times, and he swallowed hard, mustering up the courage to meet Xu Zhengyang's gaze:

"Captain Xu, I... I understand your doubts, but I can swear that I had no idea about Huang Kui and his men's actions." Chen Hongtai's voice trembled a little, but he tried to remain firm. "I was just transferred here from another province not long ago, and I don't have full control over the police station yet."

"I know."

Xu Zhengyang said calmly: "Otherwise, do you think I would bring the prisoner to you?"

"Yes."

Chen Hongtai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could still be saved. He quickly stood still and said loudly, "Captain Xu, I will resolutely complete the task you assigned me."
