Chapter 96: Ugly Faces

"It's this Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng again. This guy is old enough, yet all he knows is to throw his weight around using the Chief's name. I've tolerated him for a long time. This time, I'm going to teach him a lesson!"

Upon hearing the middle-aged police officer's words, Captain Tang Fei was furious and cursed directly: "Get out of my way. Am I the Captain, or is he? Just because he's the Chief's nephew, my orders don't matter anymore?"

When this Tyrannosaurus Policewoman got angry, it felt as if the winds and clouds were changing and the sun and moon had lost their light. A woman like her could only be subdued by a man with high-level martial arts skills like Zhou Lang.

"Yes." The middle-aged police officer seemed a bit scared and hurriedly went to open the door.

"Take off the handcuffs too!" Captain Tang Fei added.

"Zhou Lang."

Soon, Li Mengxue walked out of the interrogation room. As soon as she saw Zhou Lang, her eyes filled with tears, and she hugged him tightly.

Her clothes were neat, and there were no injuries on her body; she clearly hadn't been subjected to any real interrogation. Zhou Lang relaxed, and Xiao Xi, the artifact spirit who had been secretly protecting Li Mengxue using an Invisibility Talisman, quietly returned to Zhou Lang's ancestral copper coin.

"So this girl is Li Mengxue. She really has the figure, the looks, and the temperament. Especially those breasts; they are much more magnificent than mine. I wonder if it's true that Zhou Lang claims to know how to enhance breasts. If I also had breasts as prominent as Li Mengxue's, my charm would surely be no less than hers. After all, I'm three or four years younger than her. By then, any man would fall at my feet."

Seeing Li Mengxue, Captain Tang Fei couldn't help but think to herself.

On the surface, she was cold and arrogant, never having any overly intimate dealings with men. But what young girl doesn't dream of love? Let alone that she was no longer a young girl, but a mature woman; wanting to find a perfect husband was a very normal thing.

She was very beautiful, but her small breasts made her somewhat insecure. If she also had proud breasts, she believed she would be one of the most beautiful women in the world. For a long time, she had been paying special attention to breast enhancement matters. She had even secretly bought papayas to boil into soup, because she heard that papaya soup could enhance breasts, but the effect was minimal. At this moment, seeing a "busty" beauty like Li Mengxue, whose temperament and appearance were not inferior to hers, she felt quite stimulated.

"Sister Xue, it will be fine soon." With several police officers watching, Zhou Lang felt a bit awkward being hugged by such a mature and sexy beauty, so he whispered to Li Mengxue.

Only then did Li Mengxue blush slightly and release Zhou Lang.

Although she was a mature woman, when she encountered critical moments, she still needed a man to rely on. She felt more and more that she couldn't do without Zhou Lang, but Zhou Lang was already taken. Whenever she thought of this, she felt a bitter taste in her heart.

…

A few minutes later, Captain Tang Fei took Zhou Lang and Li Mengxue into the Chief's office. Inside the office, Chief Wu Kai and his nephew, Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng, were both present.

"Captain Tang, you… how could you bring them both out?"

Upon seeing Zhou Lang and Li Mengxue, Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng was immediately shocked. He and Chief Wu Kai had been waiting for Captain Tang Fei to force Zhou Lang into a false confession!

"Captain Tang Fei, what is going on here?" Chief Wu Kai's expression also changed as he looked at Captain Tang Fei.

"Chief, I interrogated Zhou Lang and discovered that the case has changed significantly. Zhou Lang and Li Mengxue are innocent. Zhou Lang holds evidence of Li Zhigang and Jiang Zhengqiu's crimes. I am now applying to you to arrest Li Zhigang and Jiang Zhengqiu."

Captain Tang Fei said.

Chief Wu Kai hid his true nature very deeply; usually, he appeared completely upright. Captain Tang Fei thought that this time, Chief Wu Kai had simply been deceived by Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng. She didn't expect that Chief Wu Kai frequently went to the Linyaju Hotel to have fun. Whenever Chief Wu Kai went, Jiang Zhengqiu would arrange women to serve him. How could Chief Wu Kai possibly arrest Jiang Zhengqiu?

Besides, Jiang Zhengqiu's father, Deputy Minister Jiang Dezhi, was the Deputy Minister of the Organization Department of Feiyun City. He had significant influence in the official circles, and Chief Wu Kai still had to curry favor with him.

"What? I already investigated the case thoroughly. The only suspects are Zhou Lang and Li Mengxue. Captain Tang Fei, do you know who Li Zhigang and Jiang Zhengqiu are? They are outstanding entrepreneurs in our Feiyun City, outstanding taxpayers, and even People's Congress representatives. If we arrest them casually and it gets reported by the media, it will be troublesome. If you can't make Zhou Lang plead guilty, then don't be responsible for this case anymore. I'll let Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng take over the trial."

Chief Wu Kai immediately said: "Hurry up and detain these two suspects and send them back to the interrogation room. You are a mid-level leader now; can we just let suspects go casually? After you lock up the suspects, go home and rest. Considering this is your first mistake, I won't hold you responsible for this matter."

"Chief Wu, you should know my character. If I wasn't certain, why would I release Zhou Lang and Li Mengxue? Zhou Lang's mobile phone recorded the conversation with Li Zhigang and Jiang Zhengqiu. The main responsibility for this matter lies with these two people. Chief, if you don't believe me, I will arrange for someone to verify the authenticity of the audio Zhou Lang gave me right now…"

Captain Tang Fei said this, then turned her gaze to Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng and said: "Deputy Captain Wu, you seem to have a good private relationship with Jiang Zhengqiu. When you arrested Zhou Lang at the Linyaju Hotel, you said that you and Jiang Zhengqiu were going to frame Zhou Lang."

Although she was a little naive, she was not a fool. From Chief Wu Kai's attitude toward this matter, she vaguely felt that Zhou Lang's words were correct; Chief Wu Kai had likely already been corrupted.

"Captain Tang Fei, you've been in the bureau for three years, right?" Chief Wu Kai said after a pause.

"That's right." Captain Tang Fei said: "Chief, now is not the time to talk about these things. Order the arrest of Li Zhigang and Jiang Zhengqiu. Besides, your nephew probably needs to be investigated too. He colluded with Jiang Zhengqiu and others; he must have received quite a few benefits."

"Captain Tang Fei, listen to me finish. The reason I said that to you just now is to tell you that the Deputy Chief of the bureau is retiring next year. As long as you perform well, the position of Deputy Chief will definitely be yours." Chief Wu Kai said.

He was also very arrogant, openly saying such things in front of Zhou Lang and Li Mengxue without the slightest hesitation.

Captain Tang Fei was a smart person; of course, she knew what Chief Wu Kai meant by these words. If she didn't interfere in this matter, she could gain huge benefits.

"Chief Wu, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. I will not collude with you. I must investigate this case clearly." Captain Tang Fei's expression changed as she said this.

"This Tyrannosaurus Policewoman is actually a pretty good police officer, even if she is a bit violent when handling cases." Zhou Lang thought to himself, feeling a little gratified. At the very least, there were still good people in this Linwu District Police Sub-bureau who remained untainted despite being in the mud.

"Captain Tang Fei, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Stop acting so high and mighty in front of me and my uncle. Jiang Zhengqiu's father, Deputy Minister Jiang Dezhi, is the Deputy Minister of the City Organization Department. If you dare to arrest Jiang Zhengqiu, your position as Captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of this sub-bureau will be stripped away immediately. You might even lose your job as a police officer! Your only chance now is to handcuff Zhou Lang and Li Mengxue and send them back to the interrogation room!"

The bald Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng pulled out his service weapon and aimed it at Zhou Lang.

"Chief Wu, Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng, I didn't expect you to be so arrogant and lawless. You will soon receive your retribution." Li Mengxue became afraid again, but Zhou Lang smiled faintly.

"Retribution your mother!"

Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng was furious. He rushed over with the gun and pressed it against Zhou Lang's head.
