Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

On the disciplinary department's business van, Gao Yuanzhong closed his eyes in despair.

He had already parted ways with Song Chengwen.

The van was headed to the disciplinary department; they were going to start the proceedings.

Sitting beside him, Huo Liangze said, "Mr. Gao, that's a nice title I heard that officials who break the law nowadays like to be called 'boss' by others."

Gao Yuanzhong didn't open his eyes or speak.

Huo Liangze continued, "Mr. Gao, from the moment you committed your offences, you should have expected this day. This is the consequence of breaking discipline and the law, and no one can escape it!"

Gao Yuanzhong felt very stifled in his heart.

He had thought that this day might come, but he hadn't expected it to arrive so soon.

Nor had he expected it to be because of a stranger from out of town who had nothing to do with him.

All he did was send people to capture someone; it was such a trivial matter.

It was truly an example of a ship capsizing in a gutter.

At that moment, Huo Liangze's phone began to ring.

Huo Liangze took it out and saw that it was a call from his leader, which made him frown.

As soon as he had arrested Gao Yuanzhong, he reported the situation to his leader and had only brought Gao Yuanzhong back after getting his leader's approval.

They were about to arrive; why the call now?

Could it be that some unforeseen incident had occurred?

With confusion, Duan Tianhua answered the call, "Leader."

The voice on the phone sounded helpless, "Liangze, there has been a change. The evidence is insufficient. If you bring him back, it will have negative repercussions. So, release him for now."

Although he had anticipated it, Huo Liangze's face still changed drastically. "Leader, the kidnapping is real. He admitted it himself—he has made a confession, there are messages, and witnesses will be arriving shortly. How can you say the evidence is insufficient?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuanzhong suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had come back to life.

From a state of dejection, he suddenly perked up significantly.

The leader said, "Confessions can be denied, and he can claim the messages were from someone framing him. If these are both dismissed, there will be no grounds for a conviction."

The evidence, indeed, wasn't sufficient.

But with determination, it definitely could have been pursued.

Clearly, the leader did not have enough resolve.

Huo Liangze was no longer the naive graduate just out of school; he had been working for over a decade.

Though still passionate like in his younger years, he had gained enough rationality.

He knew that when the leader spoke this way, there must have been resistance encountered.

Even if he brought the man in, they would ultimately have to release him.

If that was the case, then it would be better to let him go now.

With this thought, Huo Liangze took a deep breath, "Leader, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Liangze looked at Gao Yuanzhong with an ugly expression on his face.

Gao Yuanzhong gave a slight smile, "By the look on your face, has there been a change regarding my case?"

He was somewhat puzzled inside, not knowing what had changed.

But from Huo Liangze's tone and expression, he knew that was the case.

Regardless of what happened, it was good news.

"Get lost!" Huo Liangze had his colleague stop the car, pulled open the door, and ordered Gao Yuanzhong to get out.

"Alright then, goodbye—no, let's hope we never meet again." Gao Yuanzhong chuckled as he disembarked, his mood greatly improved.

In the blink of an eye, he had returned from hell to the living.

He just didn't know why the situation had changed and it was essential to clarify what had happened.

The disciplinary department's van drove away.

He checked the time, preparing to take a taxi back to the police station, when his phone rang.

Pulling it out, he saw it was an unfamiliar number.

Gao Yuanzhong answered the call: "Hello, who is it?"

A young man's voice came through the phone, "How does it feel to be free again?"

Gao Yuanzhong's expression changed as he speculated, "Was it you who saved me?"

The other party replied, "That's right, how do you feel?"

Gao Yuanzhong took a deep breath, "It feels good."

Although he didn't know who the other person was, anyone who could have him released in that kind of situation must be a powerful figure.

But why would such a person lift a finger to save him?

The young man said, "As long as you feel good, that's what matters."

Gao Yuanzhong asked, "Who are you, and why did you save me?"

The young man replied, "Who I am is not something you need to worry about for now. As for why I saved you, I just want you to do me a favor."

Gao Yuanzhong cautiously asked, "What favor do you need from me?"

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

It wasn't strange at all that the other party had saved him and was now asking for a favor in return.

But it was crucial to find out exactly what favor he was expected to do.

By now, he had realized that Xu Yang was definitely not a nobody.

And the person calling him was certainly no nobody either.

When two big shots clash, it's like a battle between deities.

Getting involved, he could be crushed to dust with a single careless move.

The young man smiled, "Heh, you don't need to be nervous. The favor I'm asking for isn't difficult for you. As long as you help me with this, I can ensure you take a further step up."

Gao Yuanzhong's heart skipped a beat.

He had always dreamed of moving up the ladder, but without any connections, advancing was as tough as ascending to heaven.

Reaching his current position was already his limit.

If he could move up one more step, he would definitely be able to make much more money in the future.

However, it was still essential to clarify exactly what favor he was being asked to do.

If he knew it was an errand that would lead to certain death, he wouldn't help. He wasn't an idiot.

With this thought, Gao Yuanzhong asked again, "Still, you should tell me first, what is it that you want me to do?"

The young man replied, "That Xu Yang whom you had arrested before, just get him back into prison."

Gao Yuanzhong's gaze sharpened, "But he seems quite formidable, even able to get the disciplinary department onto me."

The young man chuckled, "If he can have the disciplinary department find you, I can have them release you. What's there to fear?"

Gao Yuanzhong was startled and then realized that made perfect sense.

Xu Yang was impressive, but this person seemed even more so.

And this even more impressive person could help him climb even further up the ladder.

So, what was there to fear? Just do it.

Still, he didn't immediately agree. Instead, he asked, "I should at least know your name, right?"

The young man smiled, "Tang Jinghuan."

Gao Yuanzhong was shocked, "What, you're Tang Jinghuan?!"

If there was one person who had been the talk of Haicheng in recent days, it was none other than Tang Jinghuan.

This man was a Chinese from the beautiful country, an elite from Wall Street, who came to Haicheng with Wall Street capital to invest in major projects.

Many business heavyweights were courting Tang Jinghuan, and numerous high-ranking government officials had met with him.

The Haicheng media had been continuously reporting on him, even hailing Tang Jinghuan as a pride of the Chinese community.

Even ordinary people knew that such a figure had come to Haicheng to invest.

It could be said that Tang Jinghuan was now more of a star than the stars themselves.

Naturally, Gao Yuanzhong had also heard about him.

With Tang Jinghuan utilizing his influence to have the disciplinary department release him and promising to lift him even higher, there wasn't a single problem.

After all, he had room for maneuver concerning his issues.

Although Tang Jinghuan was just an investor, in today's society, investors wield tremendous power.
