Seeing this, Qiu Tu sighed inwardly, knowing that the worst possible situation he had predicted had indeed materialized.
Actually... ever since he had thoroughly investigated the case and learned that Commissioner Qin (Old Master Qin) was the mastermind behind the scenes, Qiu Tu had sensed that something about the trajectory of events seemed off.
He had indeed known that the Qin Family was very likely involved in this matter and had even suspected that they had played a significant role in this case. But he really hadn't anticipated that they would be so deeply entangled, even being the direct mastermind!
Keep in mind, Commissioner Qin is not just the head of City Hall or the patriarch of the Qin Family, but also... a big shot who had just pledged allegiance to Yan Chen.
It was precisely because of Commissioner Qin's allegiance that Yan Chen's influence in Xinjie City had fully inflated: his power knew no bounds and was no longer confined to the Investigation Bureau.
