Unrivaled Soldier in the City-Chapter 26 Uninhibited

"Every action has a price. The key is to not cross your own moral line," Lin Kuang said with a laugh.

Hearing this, Kong Cheng fell silent for a moment, then nodded slightly. "Point taken. But to risk your life for a street punk... it’s just not worth it," Kong Cheng said earnestly.

He had previously thought Lin Kuang was simply remarkable. Their conversation, however, revealed that Lin Kuang wasn’t just remarkable—he was special. This was a truly formidable figure.

At this, Lin Kuang smiled faintly. "If I wanted to leave, do you think you could stop me?"

"Ah..." Kong Cheng was taken aback once more. Remembering the scene at the villa’s entrance, a bitter smile crossed his face. "No," he admitted.

Though it was frustrating and helpless to admit, it was what Kong Cheng truly believed.

Lin Kuang nodded. "That’s right. You can’t stop me, and the same holds true at the police station. Don’t worry, I won’t cause trouble during a normal interrogation. But if someone tries something, I’ll make sure they have a very pleasant morning."

With that, Lin Kuang smiled, revealing a set of perfectly aligned white teeth.

For some reason, the sight of that smile sent an involuntary shiver down Kong Cheng’s spine.

The next moment, silence returned to the car. Neither of them spoke again as the police car drove into the municipal bureau’s compound.

After getting out, Kong Cheng led Lin Kuang into the building, guiding him through a winding series of corridors to an interrogation room. Just before they entered, Kong Cheng looked at him with a complex expression. "Lin Kuang, you’re on your own now. Take care."

Kong Cheng patted Lin Kuang’s shoulder, ushered him into the room, and then turned and walked away. After all, his job was to make the arrest; the interrogation would be handled by the chief’s confidants.

Lin Kuang sat silently in the interrogation room. As a matter of procedure, he wore handcuffs. They were useless against him, but he put them on so as not to make things difficult for Kong Cheng. He calmly observed his surroundings, waiting for whatever was to come.

After leaving Lin Kuang to stew in the interrogation room for a full half hour, two uniformed police officers finally entered. They sat down at their desk, and one of them, a heavyset officer, glanced at Lin Kuang. "You’re Lin Kuang, right?" His flat tone was laced with disdain.

"That’s me," Lin Kuang replied calmly, meeting the officer’s gaze.

"According to our verification and the surveillance footage from the scene, you shot and killed a thug named Scarface. Is that correct?" the heavyset officer asked again.

Lin Kuang nodded. "Yes."

The heavyset officer was taken aback by Lin Kuang’s frank answer. He had expected the interrogation to be a struggle but was surprised at how easy it was.

"Hmm, a straight answer. Since you’ve confessed, come over and sign this," the officer stated dismissively.

"No, I’m not signing," Lin Kuang replied in the same flat tone.

"Huh? What did you say?" The heavyset officer froze. He had assumed Lin Kuang was agreeing, and the unexpected refusal ignited a spark of anger within him.

"I said, I’m not signing. Do you not understand?" Lin Kuang repeated coolly.

"You’ve got a lot of nerve, kid! You think you can just refuse? Let me tell you, this is a police station, not your house! Besides, we have witnesses and physical evidence. You have to sign whether you like it or not!" the heavyset officer sneered.

"I’m not signing," Lin Kuang said again.

"You’re really not signing?" the officer pressed, his anger flaring. He had never encountered such an arrogant suspect before.

"I’m not signing. Are you hard of hearing?" Lin Kuang reiterated.

"Monkey, go," the heavyset officer said, standing up and ordering the other policeman beside him.

The officer called Monkey nodded in understanding and left the room. The heavyset officer remained, giving Lin Kuang a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, clearly planning something.

Just two minutes later, Monkey returned. "All set," he said, grinning at his partner.

"Good. The surveillance is off. Now we can teach this brat a lesson," the heavyset officer sneered, walking toward Lin Kuang. Monkey followed close behind, a cold smirk on his lips.

"What do you two think you’re doing?" Lin Kuang asked flatly.

"What are we doing? Feeling pretty cocky, aren’t you? Well, in here, we’re going to teach you some manners, understand?" the officer named Monkey said, cracking his knuckles as he advanced on Lin Kuang.

Lin Kuang nodded, a hint of understanding in his eyes. "Oh, so you’re resorting to extralegal punishment?"

"Well, well, you even know that term. Kid, you been in the slammer before?" Monkey asked with a sly, surprised smile.

"Not yet. This is my first time," Lin Kuang replied, his voice still perfectly calm, almost detached.

"Your first time and you’re this damn arrogant? Shit, I was sick of your pretentious ass the moment I laid eyes on you!" the heavyset officer roared, swinging his fist. Lin Kuang’s placid demeanor was infuriating.

Just as the punch flew, Lin Kuang shot up from the cold bench. He grabbed the officer’s wrist with one hand and kicked him squarely on the shin.

The next moment, the man’s two-hundred-plus-pound body crashed to the floor with a loud THUD, like a small mountain toppling over.

"OUCH!" A cry of pain escaped the heavyset officer’s lips, his face twisting in agony. He never expected Lin Kuang to be so swift and decisive! He had no time to resist before he was on the ground!

The other officer, Monkey, froze when he saw his partner go down. They’d never failed at this before! Today, they’d finally met their match!

With that thought, Monkey threw a punch straight at Lin Kuang’s abdomen, aiming to double him over.

However, he had no concept of Lin Kuang’s true power. Even ten men like him would be no match; the difference between them was as vast as that between heaven and earth.

In the next second, Lin Kuang moved. He took a small step to evade Monkey’s attack as his elbow drove hard into the center of Monkey’s back.

Monkey screamed and collapsed right on top of the heavyset officer.

The officer was already in agony. As Monkey’s full weight crashed down, the pain intensified, and he couldn’t help but let out another howl.
