Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1238 - 1213: The Terrifying Power of Jealousy

"Hand it over to you? I haven’t even told you the whole case situation yet." Zhou Susu looked at Ye Chen with a puzzled expression and asked.

"I already read the news earlier, so I roughly know a bit about it." Ye Chen replied with a smile.

"You don’t even understand our police team’s progress on the investigation." Zhou Susu stated again.

"No need, I don’t need to know any of that. Just let me meet the little girl." Ye Chen waved his hand, saying.

There was no problem letting Ye Chen meet the little girl, but he understood nothing about how to solve the case.

Zhou Susu also expressed some doubts, suspecting that Ye Chen was merely attempting to comfort her so she could rest well.

"Alright then, let’s leave it at that. Let’s go out and grab something to eat first, then you can take me to meet the little girl." Ye Chen stood up, announcing.

He was acutely aware that Zhou Susu’s intense focus on solving the case likely meant she hadn't even had breakfast, so he intended to treat her to some early morning food.

After all, people need sustenance to maintain their strength; skipping meals only leads to weakness. Furthermore, Zhou Susu is a girl, and irregular eating habits would undoubtedly be detrimental to her health.

"Ye Chen, I have no appetite to eat. You go ahead." Zhou Susu declined.

"If you persist in this manner, your health will eventually suffer." Ye Chen cautioned.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door outside, interrupting the two individuals' discussion.

Zhou Susu wondered to herself, "Who could that be?"

She got up and opened the door, finding Political Commissioner Zhao standing there. Smiling, she greeted him, "Commissioner, is there something you need from me?"

"Captain Zhou, here’s the matter. Someone mentioned you brought a man into the police station, but this man is not a police officer. Isn’t that somewhat inappropriate?" Political Commissioner Zhao asked, a smile on his face.

Considering Zhou Susu is a female comrade, and her work has consistently been excellent, he refrained from being overly harsh.

Primarily, a police station is not like a public market where anyone can enter and exit freely. Numerous matters require strict confidentiality, especially concerning ongoing cases.

If information were to leak, even he, as the commissioner, would face repercussions.

Zhou Susu glanced at Yang Wei, who stood beside Political Commissioner Zhao, and queried, "Yang Wei, I don’t even know what to say to you. You must be the one who called the commissioner, correct?"

This morning, only Yang Wei had seen Ye Chen. Upon discovering Ye Chen was her boyfriend, he had exhibited clear hostility.

Now, with the commissioner's sudden appearance, it was undoubtedly Yang Wei who had approached the commissioner to discuss her and Ye Chen.

Yang Wei kept his head bowed and remained silent. Meanwhile, Political Commissioner Zhao smiled and stated, "Captain Zhou, I believe you have misunderstood Officer Yang. I didn’t know which office was yours, so I let him guide me here."

"Susu, that’s precisely how it happened." Yang Wei lifted his head and affirmed confidently.

Zhou Susu was not the least bit surprised by Yang Wei’s response.

Political Commissioner Zhao, fearing a conflict between the two, quickly inquired again, "Captain Zhou, you still haven’t answered me. Did you bring a man into the office?"

"Commissioner, you are correct. My boyfriend is indeed in the office." Zhou Susu responded without any attempt at concealment.

"Captain Zhou, I have no right to interfere in your personal matters, but bringing a boyfriend to such a confidential location, isn't that somewhat inappropriate?" the commissioner stated, his expression turning serious.

"Of course, I understand, but my boyfriend possesses a special identity." Zhou Susu replied with a smile.

Both Political Commissioner Zhao and Yang Wei were taken aback by her words, failing to comprehend Zhou Susu's unreserved straightforwardness.

In their estimations, a special identity typically implied wealth, power, or significant influence.

"Captain Zhou, regardless of his special identity, you cannot bring him into the police station." Political Commissioner Zhao declared, his displeasure evident.

He had not anticipated Zhou Susu being so infatuated, disregarding police station regulations and casually bringing her boyfriend for… interactions.

"Commissioner, since you put it that way, I also feel it’s somewhat improper. And Captain Zhou is campaigning for the National Outstanding Police Officer award; this incident will undoubtedly affect her chances." Yang Wei interjected.

Zhou Susu gazed at the man before her, finding his actions rather ludicrous and even sickening.

They were all adults here, yet someone was resorting to petty acts driven by vengeance.

Reporting trivial grievances was indeed something children would do.

Seeing Zhou Susu remain silent, Political Commissioner Zhao continued, "Captain Zhou, I am not concerned with your personal romantic entanglements, but you must select an appropriate venue. This police station is for official duties, not for such personal activities."

"Furthermore, now that it's known you've committed disciplinary infractions, how can we confidently nominate you for this? I believe we should find another candidate," Political Commissioner Zhao stated with a sigh.

Zhou Susu realized that Political Commissioner Zhao had never intended for her to participate in the election, and he was now exploiting this situation.

Earlier, she had heard that Zhao Min and Political Commissioner Zhao were related. For the National Outstanding Police Officer selection, Political Commissioner Zhao had indeed put forward Zhao Min's name, though it was ultimately rejected.

Zhao Min was certainly capable, but still not on par with Zhou Susu, which had made Political Commissioner Zhao somewhat anxious.

Now, an opportunity had presented itself; with Zhou Susu out of the running, Zhao Min could easily become a nominee.

Seizing such a golden chance, Political Commissioner Zhao would not let it pass him by.

"Commissioner, is it not a bit premature to pass judgment without knowing the full story?" Zhou Susu calmly retorted.

"Captain Zhou, observe your demeanor. You've made errors, yet you stand here completely unapologetic." Political Commissioner Zhao seemed taken aback by Zhou Susu's response.

Yang Wei was quite pleased to witness the friction between Political Commissioner Zhao and Zhou Susu.

He understood Zhou Susu's strong desire for the National Outstanding Police Officer selection and had been determined to help her resolve the case.

For days, he had barely slept, his mind relentlessly focused on finding a way to crack the case.

Were the case to be solved, Zhou Susu would undoubtedly earn merit, making her the undeniable choice.

However, upon learning of Ye Chen's involvement, Yang Wei's perspective shifted, particularly given Zhou Susu's dismissive attitude towards him.

He harbored a desire for severe retribution against Zhou Susu, aiming to strip away what mattered most to her, which was precisely why he had approached Political Commissioner Zhao.

Political Commissioner Zhao had consistently opposed recommending Zhou Susu, favoring Zhao Min instead, a fact Yang Wei was keenly aware of.

"Susu, you all should come inside and talk. Stop lingering at the doorway," a man's voice called from within.

Upon hearing this, Political Commissioner Zhao entered angrily, exclaiming, "Do you not realize this is a police station? What authority do you have to remain here, disturbing our official proceedings? If you do not leave, I will have you arrested. Do you believe me?"

Political Commissioner Zhao's tone was exceptionally arrogant, but the moment he saw the person who had spoken, he froze, exclaiming, "How could it be you?"
