We're Good, Law-Abiding Citizens!

"What?"

Hearing the maid's report, Bibi Dong was stunned.

Li Mubai was also stunned, as were Xiao Li and Director Li.

Are you sure there's no gold or jewelry in his house?!

Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow and questioned him once again.

Clearly, she didn't believe the director could be so clean.

Anyone who's reached that position can't possibly be innocent.

After all, even his Xiao Li could embezzle so much money, so this fat man, as the director, must have embezzled even more!

Therefore, when the maid revealed this result, Bibi Dong was extremely incredulous.

"Your Pope, I have indeed not found a large amount of money or any valuables in his room. Furthermore, there are no hidden rooms or basements in his house. Aside from the somewhat luxurious furniture, there is nothing else unusual."

The maidservant respectfully recounted everything she had seen and heard, as well as the results of her investigation.

Bibi Dong looked at Director Li, who was currently in a daze, with some suspicion, and couldn't help but wonder:

Could it be... that I misunderstood him?

After initially being frightened and standing there dumbfounded, Director Li finally came to his senses.

His face was also filled with confusion.

He was aware of his situation.

During his many years at the City Guard Office, he must have taken countless valuables home with him.

It should have filled an entire room by now.

But why did the maid report nothing unusual?

Could it be that his wife had the foresight to move all those things in advance?

That must be it.

Otherwise, those things couldn't possibly have disappeared out of thin air.

What a wonderful wife I have!

Thinking of this, Director Li couldn't help but smile.

He was proud to have married such a good wife.

If it weren't for his wife, he would be finished today.

They would have to kneel on the ground and confess their sins, just like the Xiao Li just now.

With a sigh.

Director Li couldn't help but shift his gaze downwards, landing on the kneeling Xiao Li.

Looking at Xiao Li, who was kneeling on the ground in a daze, Director Li couldn't help but show a smug and boastful expression.

That kid was just trying to make a fool of himself, now he's got a real problem, isn't he?

He has now proven himself to be incorruptible and a truly upright and good official!

Now.

Xiao Li also came to her senses and looked up at Director Li.

Their eyes met.

Seeing the smug and provocative look in Director Li's eyes, Xiao Li couldn't help but feel furious.

He was completely stunned when he heard the maid say that there was nothing unusual about the fat man's house.

Because he had been at the City Guard Office for quite some time.

Over time, as he spent more time with the fat man in front of him, he inevitably learned a lot about him.

Even from what he openly knew, this fat man had taken quite a few things home.

Several times.

He saw many people come to the City Guard Office and give the fat man good things.

Those things are worth many times more than the little trinket he's holding!

This was something he had openly encountered.

It's already worth a fortune.

Wouldn't the many things he didn't encounter be even more valuable?

How could this fat man in front of me possibly be a good official?

They're clearly wolves in sheep's clothing!

Since I'm having a hard time, then you shouldn't expect to have one either... Thinking this, Xiao Li immediately protested:

"Pope Holiness, you fat man are definitely not some incorruptible official. I've caught him accepting gifts at least five times!"

"Moreover, he was collecting some high-value, expensive items."

"The reason we couldn't find anything in his house is because he had already moved those things beforehand!"

"That fatso's wealth over the years is definitely several times more than the wealth in my basement!"

"We urge His Holiness the Pope to use severe torture to extract a confession from him, so that this fellow will vomit up everything he has eaten!"

Xiao Li was emotionally agitated.

As he spoke, his eyes remained fixed on Director Li, unwavering.

He had long disliked this Director Li.

However, previously, due to their different statuses and hierarchical relationships, they were constrained.

He was deliberately concealing his emotions.

And now?

He was already certain he wouldn't survive, so why would he care about these things?

Even the title "Director" was directly changed to "Fatty."

Director Li didn't care at all about what Xiao Li said.

After all, this Xiao Li couldn't produce any substantial evidence of what he had done.

If there's no evidence, isn't that easy to handle?

His sole focus was on Bibi Dong.

Now.

When he saw the thoughtful look on Bibi Dong's face, he immediately panicked.

Although Bibi Dong's maids didn't find anything in his house.

But he was genuinely afraid that Bibi Dong would agree to Xiao Li's words and would then subject him to severe torture to extract a confession.

After all, based on his understanding of Bibi Dong...

It is highly likely that the other party is capable of doing such a thing.

The Spirit Hall's severe punishments are no joke.

That could easily kill someone.

Even if he were a level 40 Soul Master, he wouldn't be able to withstand the torture.

"You Xiao Li, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"

Everything must be based on evidence!

"Words are meaningless. If we follow your lead, wouldn't that mean anyone could slander and defame others in the future?"

"His Holiness the Pope has already sent people to my house to inspect the situation. Do I need to repeat the results to you again?"

Director Li quickly retorted.

Because he had already seen that Bibi Dong seemed to be pondering Xiao Li's words.

If we don't speak up soon, Bibi Dong more convinced of this.

They'll be lucky to escape with their lives, or at least suffer a severe injury.

Therefore, the only option was to hurriedly speak out to save themselves.

His words, seemingly a rebuttal to Xiao Li, were actually meant for Bibi Dong.

As expected.

After he said this, Bibi Dong spoke up:

"In that case, let's leave it at that for today. Director Li, you'll have to make do at the City Guard Office tonight."

"Not at all, not at all, it's my duty, it's my duty."

Director Li quickly responded.

He knew the significance of Bibi Dong's actions: to avoid alerting the enemy.

Tonight, more than two people from the City Guard Office were investigated; others will certainly be thoroughly investigated tomorrow as well.

He was trapped here to block information.

"Elder Li, what's this? I've come in person, and you still don't intend to leave the cell?"

At this moment.

Bibi Dong turned her head slightly and looked at Li Mubai in the prison again.

In prison.

Li Mubai was enjoying his melon-eating when Bibi Dong suddenly called him out.

"Pope Holiness, what do you mean I don't intend to leave the cell? I was clearly arrested and brought here!"

It's not that I don't want to leave, it's that they won't let me go.

Li Mubai muttered something.

"They won't let you leave? Do you think they can capture a Titled Douluo like you?"

Bibi Dong looked on with suspicion.

"What do you know? We're law-abiding citizens!"

Li Mubai tilted his head back and began to speak.
