Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 903

Chapter 903: Chapter 291: Confrontation and Wager Contract! (Part 2)

Cheng Ye couldn’t help but smile, leading Matthew Lee forward, as the door closed behind them, leaving the two of them as the main characters.

Matthew Lee’s eyes darted around, and he immediately shouted loudly, “Oh dear, how seriously is Director Qin injured? Let me see, Inspector Liu was really out of line, being so careless with his strength!”

The room fell silent, no one responded.

While others might find this awkward, who was Matthew Lee?

He was long practiced in the art of having “thick skin,” and without concern, he put down the gift in his hand and continued to speak loudly:

“Regarding the punishment for Inspector Liu, the inspection station will definitely handle it to the fullest extent according to the rules, absolutely preventing such events from happening again! Today, the station chief sent the two of us over to assure Director Qin that incidents like this will not be tolerated!”

With it said this way, Qin Zhaoye could only muster an awkward smile and said in a low voice, “Who is this?”

“I am Matthew Lee, a third-stage inspector at the inspection station, you can call me Matthew Lee.”

Matthew Lee picked up a stack of magazines and handed it over, “These were specially selected for you by the station, including science publications for recovery after injury and some for leisure. If you need anything else, just let us know at the inspection station, we’ll make sure to deliver it to you.”

As the saying goes, don’t hit someone who is smiling, Matthew Lee’s posture was very humble. Even if Qin Zhaoye was upset inside, he had no choice but to smile and nod in agreement.

However, everyone knew the real key player had not spoken yet, and their gaze collectively turned to Cheng Ye.

“Director Qin, we meet again.” Cheng Ye stepped forward and nodded slightly.

“Inspector Cheng, I’m sorry you had to see this.” Qin Zhaoye’s expression shifted a few times, but his demeanor remained as polite as it was during their last meeting.

“I came in a rush and didn’t have time to ask, what exactly was the conflict between you and Inspector Liu?” Cheng Ye got straight to the point.

“Oh, it was nothing much of a conflict,” Qin Zhaoye quickly waved his hand, “I just wanted to ask Inspector Liu for some tips on combat techniques, but I didn’t expect him to use too much force, which led to this misunderstanding.”

“Qin Zhaoye, that’s not what you said just now!” Shen Chongshan, sitting by the hospital bed, frowned, his tone disapproving, clearly not agreeing with Qin’s statement.

“We are all witnesses here, if the inspection station dares to act without thinking, do you think our Security and Integrity Bureau will be afraid of them?”

“Director Shen, as you see, I just woke up and my mind is a bit foggy, I even forgot what I just said.” Qin Zhaoye took a deep breath, hinting, “If you remember what I said earlier, why don’t you repeat it to Inspector Cheng?”

“Alright, since you can’t remember, I’ll say it for you.”

Shen Chongshan stood up, walked to the window sill, and looked directly at Cheng Ye, “Inspector Cheng, according to our Integrity Bureau’s investigation, there are several large sums of money on Inspector Liu Bi that have unclear sources and uses. Therefore, we invited the former instructor from the Public Security Bureau, Luo Xiaoxue, to join the Integrity Bureau to help verify these funds’ sources.”

“We have complete video footage of the entire process, definitely not using any coercive measures, always ensuring Instructor Luo’s personal freedom and safety. But Inspector Liu Bi used this as an excuse, claiming we used violence when inviting people, and then clashed with Director Qin, leading to this fight. Tell me, who is right and who is wrong in this matter?”

“Oh?” Cheng Ye squinted, capturing the key information, “So, have you guys figured out the purpose of these large sums of money?”

“Instructor Luo has already provided reasonable explanations, and there are no issues with the source and use of the funds.” Shen Chongshan responded calmly.

“So, that means Inspector Liu now has no integrity issues?”

Shen Chongshan’s expression slightly changed, clearly not expecting Cheng Ye to directly grasp the core and bypass his preset conflict topic.

The core authority of the Security and Integrity Bureau lies in investigating inspectors’ integrity issues; once confirmed, the punishment would be exponentially increased. But if it were merely a common conflict among bureau staff, it would merely entail compensating and apologizing, at most the inspection station punishing Liu Bi and submitting a written explanation to the higher-ups.

After all, on the Wasteland, it’s not unheard of for subordinates to fight because of conflicts; there’s no need to “sentence someone to death” for this.

Moreover, Liu Bi’s explanation was not completely unfounded; at least it could be used as a surface-level conflict cause.

“I came here today to show Director Qin an attitude, an assurance.” Cheng Ye turned to look at Qin Zhaoye, his tone plain yet weighty, “I wonder what Director Shen is here for.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongshan’s expression seemed calm, but his fingers behind him silently gestured.

Seeing this, a tall, sturdy man immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly, “Inspector Cheng, don’t be too arrogant! Is this how you solve problems? Are you here representing the inspection station to apologize or to threaten our Security and Integrity Bureau?”

“Besides Liu Bi, you also have plenty of issues that need explaining! Later, we’ll invite you back to the Integrity Bureau to clarify, to avoid parasitic pests sucking the life out of Happiness City!”

“And you are?” Cheng Ye’s gaze shifted to the person, his expression unchanged.

“Wei Yue, Head of the Integrity Monitoring Department.” The man lifted his head, his voice carrying an oppressive tone.

“Chief Wei, that’s a good name.” Cheng Ye nodded in admiration, taking a small step forward, “I have no problem going back with you to the Integrity Bureau to explain, but you accuse me of arrogance, I’m a bit confused, where am I being arrogant?”
