Chapter 6: Taken to the Police Station

"I am older than you, little girl," Zhang Wei corrected, straightening his shirt with a smirk.

Leng Yan wanted to put him in his place, but her attention was diverted to a gruesome sight. ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ๐‘›๐˜ฐ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐‘™๏ผŽ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต

"You beast!" she seethed, storming inside. Zhang Wei simply yawned, unfazed by her insults. He didn't have a thick skin, he just knew why she called him that.

Huang Kai was disturbed by Leng Yan's panicked tone and, upon entering the room, his eyes widened in anger at the sight of the youth in front of him. Meanwhile, Zhang Wei waited patiently for the drama inside to unfold.

Yu Lei tried to explain that the call was an accident and that she didn't need any help, but Leng Yan was quick to cut her off. She had already noticed the bruises on Yu Lei's face and, in her eyes, Zhang Wei was the culprit.

In the end, Yu Lei surrendered and agreed to go with them to the police station for questioning. She came out wearing a black jacket to cover her exposed skin and was accompanied by Leng Yan, whose gaze never left Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei could only shrug and follow them, while Huang Kai seemed like a mere follower of Leng Yan. He didn't want to converse with Zhang Wei, or maybe he just didn't trust him.

"Come with us," Huang Kai ordered, following after Leng Yan and Yu Lei. Zhang Wei shook his head but trailed behind them, his mind already devising a plan to teach this lady police officer a lesson.

From Leng Yan's hateful glare, it was clear she would do everything in her power to lock him up. He lazily dragged his body and soon they arrived at an Audi R8 with a sleek, black exterior. It wasn't the usual police car, but Zhang Wei couldn't help but smirk at the thought of arriving at the station in style.

The sleek black exterior of the Audi R8 and the bright red and blue emergency lights on the roof and front of the car signaled to all those in the vicinity that the police were on the move. Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow at the sight of the luxurious vehicle being used for police work. He couldn't help but wonder if the woman, Leng Yan, was too privileged for such a job.

As they got in the car, Zhang Wei noticed that it had only two seats, both of which were occupied by Leng Yan and Yu Lei. It became even more apparent that Leng Yan had a powerful background.

Soon an junior ranking officer came with another four seater car, Huang Kai sat in the passenger seat, while Zhang Wei took the whole backseat for himself.

Zhang Wei sat slouched in the back seat of the car, his arms crossed over his chest as he glared at the two police officers in front of him. Despite the seriousness of the situation, his face remained calm and composed, betraying none of the fear or anxiety he felt inside.

As they drove, Huang Kai couldn't help but comment on Zhang Wei's carefree attitude. "You have guts to be this carefree."

Zhang Wei smiled faintly and began to speak. "In a tough world, being carefree is my way of surviving. I've overcome my fears, and now I live my life without worry. I take risks, challenge authority, and do the impossible. My carefree attitude shows my strength, and anyone who stands in my way will face consequences."

Zhang Wei's words shook Huang Kai to the core. He had underestimated this young man, and soon he started asking him various questions, to which Zhang Wei politely answered. In the dimly lit car, Zhang Wei's words rang out with a quiet confidence that filled the air with an electric tension. His every syllable dripped with a steely resolve, a warning to anyone who dared challenge him.

Despite the seriousness of the situation, Zhang Wei's face remained calm and composed, betraying none of the fear or anxiety he felt inside. His words were a battle of wills playing out before him, and he was determined not to back down.

Huang Kai sighed, realizing that he couldn't easily leave the case since Zhang Wei had offended Leng Yan. He tried to question Zhang Wei in all ways possible, but the latter avoided his questions like a skilled politician. Huang Kai knew that solving the case was the only way out.

As the car pulled into the police station, Huang Kai could feel the tension rising. He knew that Zhang Wei would not leave the interrogation room easily, especially after offending Leng Yan.

After an hour-long ride, they finally arrived in downtown Qingyun City, a sprawling metropolis divided into various districts. It was a city that never slept, with neon lights illuminating the night sky and the hustle and bustle of people going about their business.

As they pulled up to the police station, the imposing concrete walls and metal gates loomed over them, casting eerie shadows across the streets. The time was 11:45 pm, and the atmosphere was tense and charged, crackling with urgency.

Inside the building, officers rushed to and fro with a sense of purpose, their radios crackling with messages that demanded their immediate attention. Detectives huddled around their desks, piecing together clues and sifting through evidence like a complex jigsaw puzzle, anticipating the unknown with a sense of urgency.

Despite the late hour, the station shone like a beacon of light, a symbol of security and protection for those who sought justice with fervor. It was a place where the innocent sought refuge and the guilty met their fate.

But for those who dared to cross the line, the station was a place of fear and dread, where justice was served with a swift and final hand. There were no appeals, no second chances, only the cold, hard reality of the law.

Yet, amidst all the seriousness and pain, the police station remained a poetic refrain, a testament to the power and authority that kept the city safe with unwavering sincerity. It was a place of honor and duty, where the brave men and women who served the city stood tall and proud, ready to face whatever challenges came their way.

Zhang Wei felt like a prisoner as he was escorted directly to the interrogation room. He waited outside while Leng Yan chatted with Yu Lei, feeling like he was at the mercy of these two women. When they finished their conversation, Yu Lei apologized with a smile for the trouble she caused him. She had told the truth to the police, just as Zhang Wei had instructed her to do. He didn't want her to get caught up in any complicated storylines that she might forget and mess everything up. By telling the truth, he earned her goodwill and enhanced her trust in him.

Before stepping into the interrogation room, Zhang Wei threw a provocative look at Leng Yan, knowing it was akin to committing suicide by angering her further. Leng Yan snorted in anger as she glared at him with disgust.

Inside the dimly lit interrogation room, Zhang Wei sat with a cold demeanor while the lady officer questioned him relentlessly. He remained unimpressed and unyielding, sitting stoically and not expressing any emotion. The officer's voice was firm and strong, but Zhang Wei simply hummed along and stared at a spot on the wall, giving nothing away no matter how she prodded.

Despite the officer's best efforts to break through his icy front, Zhang Wei remained a silent enigma. She tried to chip away at his stone face, but he remained stoic in his own space, his cool demeanor a mask that shielded him from her interrogation.

Zhang Wei's attitude was just a facade, a story untold.

Every time Zhang Wei told her the same story, Leng Yan gritted her teeth in anger. The story was identical to the one Yu Lei had told her, flawlessly executed. Yu Lei had declined to press charges against him, so Leng Yan struggled to find a reasonable excuse to incarcerate him.

"So, you're claiming that Huo Xue was behind all of this, extorting money from you?" Leng Yan inquired, her eyebrows twitching.

Zhang Wei nodded, pushing all of the blame onto Huo Xue. According to him, she had purposefully orchestrated everything to extort money from him and Yu Lei. Furthermore, Huo Yue's previous rivalry with Yu Lei made the story more plausible.

"What about the pregnancy report?" Leng Yan asked, disgust evident in her eyes.

"It's a fake," Zhang Wei replied nonchalantly. "Anyone can create a forged report by bribing a doctor, can't they?"

His rhetorical question made Leng Yan frown; this wasn't something she wanted to comment on. "Why are you so interested in my personal life, Officer Leng? Even if Huo Xue were carrying my child, you would have no right to detain me over it. It's a private matter between me and my wife."

He had already provided a valid explanation for his hitting Yu Lei, which was simply to pacify her. Leng Yan was now in danger of violating the law by detaining him any further, particularly considering that Yu Lei supported him.
