The Rejected Heiress's Possesive Tycoon Husband-Chapter 23 Chief Zhang Calls Her Little Master

Just after she left the room, Lai Xiaojun suddenly threw a punch, aiming for An Yan’s face.

At that moment, An Yan was handcuffed to the interrogation chair, unable to move either hand.

In his eyes, there was no way An Yan could dodge that punch.

However, An Yan dodged it.

Their specially made handcuffs couldn’t confine an Ancient Martial Cultivator at all.

When Xiaohe came in with a cup of water, he saw Lai Xiaojun lying on the ground, his nose bruised and face swollen.

And An Yan was sitting properly in the interrogation chair, her hands securely cuffed.

Nothing was amiss.

"What... Captain Lai, what happened to you?"

Lai Xiaojun’s head was spinning with pain, and for a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

That woman had hit him and then calmly sat down again! It happened as fast as lightning.

He could claim he was hit, but there was no surveillance here. Who would believe it?

The policewoman looked at An Yan with confusion and asked, "What just happened?"

An Yan said with all seriousness, "He said if I didn’t confess, he would hit himself, and then he did just that."

The policewoman was baffled. The suspect doesn’t confess, so he hits himself? Was he trying to use his own pain to move her?

The policewoman looked at Captain Lai with a newfound respect in her eyes. Unfortunately, it seemed the girl hadn’t been moved at all. Captain Lai’s tactic was in vain.

An Yan looked at Lai Xiaojun calmly and directed, "Call Zhang Xuebin!"

Lai Xiaojun now understood he couldn’t control this woman through physical force, and she didn’t care about other methods either. Since that was the case, it was best to hand this problem over to his superiors. "Make the call," he conceded.

The policewoman, puzzled, took out her phone. "Chief Zhang, do you know a girl named An Yan? She’s twenty, very pretty! She says she’s from the Hengduan Mountains."

"Yes, what about her?"

The policewoman glanced at An Yan, speaking in a hushed tone, "She’s suspected of intentional homicide and was brought in by our people. And then..."

"What?"

The originally deep voice on the other end suddenly rose in pitch, so high that everyone present heard it. "You’ve arrested Little Master?"

The policewoman was stunned. Lai Xiaojun was equally dumbfounded.

Little Master? What on earth is Chief Zhang talking about? This girl is only twenty, and he’s forty. How can he call her Master?

「Half an hour later」

Chief Zhang, drenched in sweat, burst into the interrogation room.

He had been about to go to sleep when he received the call and had rushed over. As soon as he entered and saw An Yan handcuffed to the chair, he became furious. "Who told you to handcuff her? Release her immediately!"

Lai Xiaojun protested, "Chief Zhang, she’s a suspect!"

"How is she a suspect? If she wanted to kill someone, she wouldn’t need to bother with such schemes. She could just... No, I mean, she’s highly skilled and comes from a reputable background. She would never commit any illegal acts!"

Even though Lai Xiaojun had joined the force early, he realized Chief Zhang knew An Yan was highly skilled.

And he might even have been bested by her at some point. But should they release a suspect just because of that? Wouldn’t that be a disservice to the badge he wore?

Lai Xiaojun decisively pressed the playback button on the recorder.

The dialogue between An Yan and Mrs. Lin immediately filled the room:

"Are you really not afraid that one needle from me could send him straight to the west?"

"You... wouldn’t do that... right..."

"Shall Mrs. Lin give it a try?"

"Since Mrs. Lin dares, then let’s proceed. It’s just a matter of one needle!"

Lai Xiaojun said righteously, "The recording fully proves she had the subjective intent to harm, so..."

"What do you mean, ’subjective intent’?" Zhang Xuebin demanded, slamming his hand on the table.

"Which sentence in this recording indicates that she intended to harm anyone?"

"Did you see her do it with your own eyes, or did Mrs. Lin witness it herself?"

"You arrest someone based on a few words from the other party? Do you think the police station is your home?"

"With your method of arrest, there probably wouldn’t be many good people left in the city, would there?"

"Is this how you handle cases!"

An Yan moved aside with disdain. "Disgusting."

Zhang Xuebin was taken aback. He quickly grabbed a cloth to wipe the table, apologizing as he did so, "I’m sorry, Little Master, for the trouble you’ve experienced. These youngsters under me are too one-track minded..."

"They aren’t just one-track minded. They’re following the instructions of this Captain Lai. And if I’m not mistaken, he’s Mrs. Lin’s brother, isn’t he?"

"He’s using his public office for a private vendetta!"

An Yan recounted everything Lin Shang had done that day, omitting the role Li Tianyao’s men played in the matter.

As for why Lin Shang was hospitalized, she said, "I suspect the Tan Family wanted to hold him accountable, but he didn’t want to take responsibility, so he faked an illness and checked into the hospital."

Lai Xiaojun was utterly bewildered.

His sister had told him that An Yan was resentful because Lin Shang had broken off their engagement. She was allegedly using her medical skills to get revenge on Lin Shang in every conceivable way.

He never imagined that Lin Shang, in his bid for revenge against An Yan, would dare to gamble with human lives!

Is he trying to cause an uproar?

But admitting his mistake now was too much for his pride.

"Miss An, that’s just your side of the story. Lin Shang isn’t brainless. How could he possibly do such a thing?"

His only thought was that there was no evidence. The circumstances of Lin Shang’s hospitalization were suspicious; he had most likely been subjected to some off-the-books punishment by the Tan Family. In that case, Tan Yanzhe definitely wouldn’t dare to come forward and admit it. Since there were no witnesses, perhaps today’s incident could just be swept under the rug.

Just as he was optimistically weighing his chances, an officer on duty knocked and entered. "Chief Zhang, Captain Lai, there’s a Mr. Tan Yanzhe outside. He says he wants to turn himself in!"

Lai Xiaojun was speechless.

Tan Yanzhe produced a recording of Lin Shang admitting to drugging Tan Wu. He also brought two rich kids as witnesses—the same ones who had caused a disturbance with him at the hospital.

With both witnesses and physical evidence presented, Zhang Xuebin ordered angrily, "Xiaohe, take two officers on duty, go out immediately, and bring Lin Shang back to me!"

Lai Xiaojun panicked. "Chief Zhang, Lin Shang is still in the hospital! He can’t move at all!"

"Can’t move? Don’t worry. As long as he’s still breathing, Little Master here can get him back on his feet to face legal judgment!"

Who knew Little Master’s medical skills better than he, who had experienced them firsthand?

An Yan nodded. "Yes, I can."

Lai Xiaojun said anxiously, "Chief Zhang, you..."

"You what? Do you still have the gall to plead for your nephew here? Hand over all your communication devices and get back to your office to write a ten-thousand-word self-criticism report!"

Using a state apparatus as a private tool! This is outrageous!

In the interrogation room, Tan Yanzhe repeatedly apologized to An Yan. "I’m sorry, I didn’t expect this matter to involve you!"

An Yan didn’t blame him. "It has nothing to do with you. Even if you hadn’t dealt with Lin Shang, the Lin Family would have found other ways to harm me."

"Then, would you like me to take care of the Lin Family for you?"

Tan Yanzhe was still hoping to use An Yan to curry favor with that powerful Ancient Martial Cultivator.

An Yan glanced at him. "Mr. Tan, vigilantism is illegal. It’s uncertain how many days you’ll be detained. You should worry about yourself first."

Having arranged matters outside, Zhang Xuebin re-entered just in time to hear this and burst out laughing.
