The Zhou family, Zhou Guojian, Zhou Huaming, and Zhou Tanxiong had been waiting for news at home.

Zhou Guojian looked at the time and asked with some doubt, "What's going on? Why hasn't there been any news yet? Third son, are you sure that the person you hired is reliable?"

Zhou Tanxiong frowned and said, "I've worked with that person a few times, and nothing has gone wrong. There shouldn't be any problems now." However, he didn't sound confident when he said that. Theoretically speaking, he should hear the latest news by now.

Zhou Huaming thought for a moment and asked, "Third brother, why don't you ask your people at the police station to see if there have been any recorded cases in the past two days?"

Zhou Tanxiong took out his phone. Just as he was about to make a call, he heard the doorbell ring.

His heart jumped.

The three of them looked at each other. Their hearts were beating a little.

Zhou Guojian thought for a moment and said, "Maybe?it's that person! Eldest son, go and open the door!"

"Okay!" Zhou Huaming stood up and opened the door.

Unexpectedly, the moment the door was opened, a few police officers barged in. They pointed their guns at them and said, "Don't move!"

Zhou Huaming's expression changed drastically. Then, he raised his hand and said in confusion as if he was frightened, "Police officers, what's going on? We are good citizens. We haven't done anything illegal!"

At this moment, Jiang Tao, who was standing outside, placed an arrest warrant in front of him and said, "Zhou Guojian, Zhou Huaming, Zhou Tanxiong, you are suspected of buying for a person's murder. This is an arrest warrant. Please cooperate with the investigation!" Then, he ordered his people, "Search the place!"

Zhou Guojian and Zhou Tanxiong were brought out.

When Zhou Tanxiong saw Jiang Tao, his expression was abnormally agitated. He shouted, "Jiang Tao, what do you mean by this? What right do you have to arrest me? I'm the Deputy Director of the Police Station!"

Jiang Tao said very sternly, "Everyone is equal before the law. Zhou Tanxiang, you are not above the law because you are a police officer. Whether you can be arrested or not, that is not decided by you or me, but the law! Since you've violated the law, then I have the right to arrest you! Take all of them away!"

When Zhou Tanxiong heard that, he was very flustered. He said loudly, "Jiang Tao, you can't arrest me!"

Zhou Guojian understood that the matter might be exposed. He panicked for a moment, then said sternly, "Jiang Tao, how can you accuse us of hiring people to murder someone? Do you have evidence?"

A cold smile appeared on Jiang Tao's face. He didn't answer Zhou Jianguo. If he didn't have evidence, would he be there? If he didn't have evidence, would he have an arrest? They were not in feudal China, where people could be arrested at will.

"Take him away!" Jiang Tao gave the order and left immediately.

"Jiang Tao!" Zhou Guojian's angry shout could be heard for miles.

...

Xiao Lingyu sent Xiao Jun's family to the hospital. The doctor suggested Xiao Jun stay in the hospital for two more days in case of an accident.

Xiao Jun was about 15 years old. His family had never been to the hospital before, so they were not very clear about how to handle the hospitalization procedures.
