Chen Tai confronts a woman about Shaohua's involvement in Fan Wanli's death and the ongoing investigation. The woman maintains Shaohua's innocence and advises Chen Tai to leave the country. Meanwhile, Fu Zili receives a package from the deceased Fan Wanli containing incriminating documents. Jiang Chen joins Fu Zili to review the contents, and upon receiving a mysterious document, Fu Zili reacts with shock.

"Of course, I can take full responsibility for what I say. Chairman Fan mentioned this name to me before he fell from the building. As for why, I’m not sure because Chairman Fan didn’t get the chance to explain before the accident occurred. But I can be certain. This person put a lot of pressure on Chairman Fan. Perhaps this was one of the main factors leading to this tragedy."

Inspection team residence.

Zhou Shaohua spoke calmly and with ease, and when he got excited, he couldn’t help but clench his hand in indignation.

"Chairman Fan died so miserably, falling over a hundred meters and not even leaving a whole body behind. I’ve known Chairman Fan for so many years, and I didn’t expect his end to be like this. As a friend, I truly feel heartbroken. Chairman Fan devoted his life to promoting the development of Sha City, making outstanding contributions to the happiness of Sha City and Sha City people. He is a hero of Sha City! He shouldn’t have ended like this!"

Opposite.

The two inspection team members in their thirties sat with expressionless faces, completely unmoved by Young Master Zhou’s expressive speech, and didn’t even take notes.

"Sha City’s hero? Are you referring to the dozens of lawsuits pending trial? Since its inception, Green Land has accumulated over a thousand legal disputes, and impressively, it has achieved a stunning 95% win rate. Saying he is Sha City’s hero is not accurate; saying he is Sha City’s unyielding might be more fitting."

Young Master Zhou sitting on the chair smirked, "Running a business, disputes are inevitable. It’s nothing unusual. The bigger the business, the more lawsuits there will be. Which state-owned enterprise hasn’t faced lawsuits?"

One inspection team member nodded, picking up a thermos.

Not even forty years old, and already putting wolfberries in his thermos. It must be related to the nature of the job; working within the system surely makes them more mature than peers in other industries, especially with their profession.

"Yes, having lawsuits is normal. But, you said earlier that Fan Wanli’s death was due to stress? Wasn’t the cause of his death the severely substandard construction quality?"

"What I said was the main factor."

Zhou Shaohua corrected.

"So, is it true that Green Land’s projects cut corners, used inferior materials, and carried out things perfunctorily?"

The inspection team member sipped tea while watching him, speaking unhurriedly, leaving Zhou Shaohua with no room to evade.

Zhou Shaohua shrugged, leaning against the iron chair back, "Green Land’s construction quality is an internal issue of their company, what does it have to do with me, an outsider."

"It has nothing to do with you?"

Zhou Shaohua laughed silently, retorting, "Does it have anything to do with me?"

"The land where the incident occurred was secured by you for Green Land, wasn’t it?"

Another specialist spoke, his tone gentle, like a casual chat, but exerting tremendous pressure.

Young Master Zhou unconsciously adjusted his posture, from this small action, it was clear he wasn’t as comfortable here as he was at the city bureau.

"Real estate companies acquiring land go through a public, transparent, and standard bidding process. I’m not sure where you heard these rumors, but I can tell you, it’s completely unfounded. I don’t have that kind of capability."

"You’re right, you don’t."

The tea-drinking specialist responded nonchalantly, blowing on the hot tea in his thermos.

Though difficult to notice, hearing this, Zhou Shaohua’s expression showed a subtle change.

Indeed.

Even though he had anticipated it, upon confirmation, Zhou Shaohua couldn’t help but feel heavy-hearted, a glint of cynicism in his gaze.

"Chairman Fan just died tragically, and here you are, merely basing opinions on hearsay and rumors to criticize him. Isn’t that a lack of basic respect for the deceased?"

Like boxing in the ring, Young Master Zhou maneuvered deftly to evade attacks.

"We regret Fan Wanli’s death, but one death cannot settle everything. Some matters can’t be swept aside just because he died. From a personal standpoint, to speak frankly, I admire his courage. But if he thought crashing might ensure others’ safe landing, all I can say is, his thoughts were overly naive."

"Then hurry up and investigate, I’ve already told you. That fellow Jiang Chen definitely has something to do with this. Just like you summoned me, it’s easy for you to summon him too, right."

This is what true dignity is!

Young Master Zhou perfectly demonstrated what it means not to bow to force, his spine was really straight.

He is the pride of Sha City people!

"We’re just here to ask questions, no need to get so worked up."

"Am I worked up?"

Young Master Zhou didn’t flinch, facing two opponents fearlessly, his gaze unwavering, the guilty would be nervous, not him; he has nothing to fear, and he stands honorable with nothing to hide.

"If you think I’m worked up, sorry, maybe it’s because I’m lacking rest. After all, I’ve spent more than twenty hours at the city bureau, answering many of the questions you’ve just asked."

This room has only one glass window, it’s large, but doesn’t face outside, and with his phone seized, no, temporarily kept, Young Master Zhou didn’t have a watch, so he has no idea what time it is, whether it’s day or night.

The two specialists seemed completely oblivious to the sarcasm in his words, calm enough to drive someone mad.

"You can rest, and when you’re rested, we’ll continue."

What’s that mean?

Planning to detain him?

Young Master Zhou raised his eyebrows, "Is this a place for resting?"

"Do you need a camp bed?"

Young Master Zhou’s expression fluctuated.

As a law-abiding good citizen, he truly can be fearless, but being fearless doesn’t mean he must strain relations.
