Stealing Your Heart

Wang Dui forced himself to be calm. He adjusted his tie and asked, “Why was I called over by Chief Shen?”

Chen replied, “I’m not sure. You’ll find out after you meet him.”

Wang Dui stopped asking. It was probably about the footage. Shen Peichuan has evidence of my dirt now, so what else could it be? He must be asking me over to torture me.

Wang Dui took a deep breath before knocking on the door to the chief’s office.

A voice rang out from inside the office.

Wang Dui opened the door and entered.

Shen Peichuan was on the phone at the time, and when he saw Wang Dui there, the former gestured for the latter to take a seat.

Wang Dui pulled up a chair and sat in front of Shen Peichuan’s desk. He was nervous, but he didn’t show anything on his face.

An old wives’ tale said that a superior, even if he were only one rank higher, could kill his subordinate. Things were grave for Wang Dui because Shen Peichuan was a few ranks higher than him. It was bad enough that Wang Dui had publicly gone against Shen Peichuan, but being caught red-handed? That left Wang Dui with nothing to defend himself.

“I got it,” replied Shen Peichuan before hanging the phone up.

“I have nothing to say. Just punish me as you see fit,” said Wang Dui as soon as Shen Peichuan put the phone down.

Wang Dui was exuding a prideful aura, and it was clear that he refused to back down.

Shen Peichuan leaned back and stared calmly at him. “Naturally, a punishment is inevitable,” said Shen Peichuan. But then he continued, “Didn’t you say that you want to take over case number 218? You can have it. I want it solved within ten days!”

“T-This is the punishment?” blurted Wang Dui, as his eyes bulged in disbelief.
