Chapter 165 - You Can't Live by Doing Wrong to Yourself

Ye Fan sat in an interrogation room, handcuffed, his hands pinned behind him, finding it oddly coincidental how much the situation resembled the last time.

“Ah, I hope the outcome is the same as last time,” he prayed silently to himself.

The memory of that night when he inadvertently blurted out the color of Zhao Lina’s underwear—and the terrifying look on her face with her eyebrows inverted and her eyes wide open—made him shudder.

The torturous waiting stretched on until after eleven when finally sounds came from outside the interrogation room.

Clang—

Creak—

The iron door opened, and Ye Fan watched as Zhao Lina walked in with a frosty face, his gaze involuntarily sweeping over her body.

Very soon, the next moment, his attention was caught by the black rubber baton and stun baton she was holding in her hands.

Ye Fan’s pupils shrank instinctively, thinking to himself, “Could Zhao Lina seriously be about to settle a personal score?”

Zhao Lina walked coldly up to the interrogation table and placed the police baton and stun baton on top of it.

“Officer Zhao, what do you mean by this?” Ye Fan glanced at the police equipment on the table before lifting his eyelids to ask Zhao Lina.

Zhao Lina snorted coldly, “What do you think it means?”

“Heh heh, Officer Zhao, you can’t be taking personal revenge,” Ye Fan said with a sycophantic smile.

“So what if I am taking personal revenge?” Zhao Lina looked like she had Ye Fan exactly where she wanted him, then turned to lock the iron door from the outside.

After locking the iron door, Zhao Lina turned around, a cold smile hanging on her pretty face, and stepped toward Ye Fan, “With this iron door locked, we don’t have to worry about anyone barging in to disturb us, and we don’t have to worry about noise getting out.

Even yelling your lungs out would be pointless.”

Standing in front of the interrogation table, she loomed over Ye Fan, “Which do you prefer, the police baton or the stun baton?”

“Neither,” Ye Fan said with a wry smile.

“That won’t do,” Zhao Lina shook her head and said, “If you don’t choose, I’ll have to use them both until you find one you like.”

Her expression and tone might have softened, but Ye Fan felt even more terrified.

Was this the calm before the storm?

“Come on, Officer Zhao, we once pretended to be boyfriend and girlfriend, cut me some slack,” Ye Fan said apologetically, “There’s an old saying, ‘even a night together as husband and wife can bring a hundred days of grace’…”

“Shut up!” Zhao Lina shouted sharply, her beautiful eyes unintentionally flashing a mix of embarrassment and anger while maintaining her cold smile, “If you dare to spout any more nonsense, I’ll cut your tongue out first!”

Ye Fan gave a resigned, bitter smile, “Alright, I’ll stop.”

Zhao Lina huffed lightly, then, picking up the rubber baton, she said, “Since you can’t make up your mind for now, let me introduce these to you so you can make a more informed choice.”

“This rubber police baton is 50 centimeters long, weighs about 1.3 kilograms, made of pure rubber with great flexibility.

A swing of this baton can easily cause serious bruising.”

She put down the baton and picked up the stun baton, introducing it methodically, “This stun baton is even more impressive; it can generate an electric shock of up to 40,000 volts.

Do you understand the concept of 40,000 volts?

The standard household outlet is only 220 volts…”

Ye Fan listened, his heart thumping with fear, and said with a forced smile, “Officer Zhao, actually, I didn’t see anything that night.

It was so dark, and there was no light.

I was just making wild guesses.

We don’t have such a big feud between us.”

Hearing Ye Fan refer to that shameful episode of the night, the cold smile on Zhao Lina’s face disappeared instantly; she threw down the stun baton, slamming her hand on the table with a “bang,” she snorted angrily, “Do you think I’m an idiot?”

Ye Fan jumped in fright, managing a strained smile, “No, absolutely not!

At worst, it’s just…”

He found himself inadvertently looking at Zhao Lina’s formidable bust.

Big bust, no brains?!

Zhao Lina exploded with fury, this shameless, lecherous, annoying guy really was beyond hope!

Suddenly, she lunged forward with a swift reach for Ye Fan’s collar.

She swore she would slap his disgusting mouth repeatedly until it was swollen.

However, her hand was quick, but Ye Fan was quicker.

He leaned his upper body back in a flash, causing her to grab at empty air.

“You dare to dodge?” Zhao Lina yelled angrily, her chest heaving dramatically.

With his hands tied behind his back and seated in a chair, Ye Fan had been the target of her sneak attack, yet she failed to even touch the hem of his clothes, which indeed left her unable to save face as the captain of the criminal police.

“Nonsense, only someone with ‘big boobs and no brains’ would not dodge,” Ye Fan retorted with a curl of his lips.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Fan immediately felt the urge to bang his head against a wall.

What kind of trouble did I just cause!

Could it be because I didn’t check the almanac before leaving the house?

I clearly meant to say “idiot,” so how did the “big boobs and no brains” remark I held back earlier just slip out?

Zhao Lina indeed flew into a rage, clenching her teeth so hard they could shatter, while her phoenix eyes spit fire, her chest heaved dramatically with rage as if a cataclysmic storm was imminent.

“Don’t be angry!

Don’t be angry!

I misspoke,” Ye Fan hurriedly cried out, “I meant to say you have ‘big boobs and no brains.’ Ah spit spit, a slip of the tongue!

I mean to say your chest is bursting through your clothes…”

Goodness, what am I saying?

There’s courting death, and then there’s however the hell this is!

Knowing that no explanation could salvage the situation, Ye Fan quickly stood up and moved away from Zhao Lina, preparing to dodge the apocalyptic storm he knew was coming.

Zhao Lina instinctively looked down at her chest, finding no tears in her clothes.

She had inspected her clothing before interrogating Ye Fan, having learned from the last time.

Realizing she had been toyed with by Ye Fan once more, her fury now set the night sky over Hua Hai City ablaze.

“Ye Fan, go to hell!” Zhao Lina shouted through gritted teeth, as she lunged forward with a swift high kick aimed at Ye Fan.

Although Ye Fan’s hands were bound behind his back, seriously affecting his balance and movement, his skills were still far superior to Zhao Lina’s.

Therefore, he easily slid to the right, dodging her high kick effortlessly.

Having missed her kick, Zhao Lina shouted angrily, “How dare you dodge?”

“Nonsense, that kick of yours was clearly lethal, only a person with ‘big boobs and no brains’ wouldn’t dodge it!” retorted Ye Fan, unapologetically.

Furious at being insulted repeatedly, Zhao Lina huffed, “If I don’t beat you to death tonight, I’ll take your surname!”

Before the words were even finished, she launched another kick at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan swiftly dodged to the side, quipping, “You wish to marry me?

As if I’d take you!”

Next, Zhao Lina launched a maelstrom of attacks on Ye Fan, with the interrogation room filled with the shadow of her kicks, while Ye Fan moved with agility, ducking and weaving under the barrage, and once again Zhao Lina couldn’t even brush the hem of his clothes.

Her attack continued for a long time to no avail, Zhao Lina thought to herself, “This won’t do, this guy’s movements are too slick, like a mudfish reincarnated.

I must corner him to reduce his room to maneuver if I’m to have any chance of hitting him.”

So, she intentionally herded Ye Fan toward a corner.

Soon enough, Ye Fan was driven into a corner by her numerous kicks.

“Hmph, let’s see where you dodge to this time!”

Just as Zhao Lina thought she had succeeded, Ye Fan suddenly flashed a teasing smile at her, then nimbly maneuvered out of the corner.

Once again, Zhao Lina was enraged; Ye Fan was clearly making fun of her.

Spinning around, she furiously launched another fierce high kick.

Seeing that Zhao Lina’s relentless attacks weren’t ceasing, Ye Fan thought that simply dodging was not a solution; he needed to counterattack.

So, as Zhao Lina’s high kick came at him, Ye Fan suddenly ducked lower, bracing his shoulders against her jade leg, and swiftly charged towards the wall while facing her.

Zhao Lina hadn’t expected Ye Fan to counter, and as he charged towards the wall with her leg on his shoulder, she was forced to retreat on one leg to avoid losing balance and falling, with no time to withdraw her leg resting on Ye Fan’s shoulder.

Bang!

Zhao Lina’s back hit the wall, and Ye Fan continued to push forward, intending to pry open her one-legged stance and pin her against the wall, thus robbing her of the ability to move.

However, as he pushed another step forward, suddenly a loud “zzzzzt” of fabric tearing sounded.

At that moment, both Ye Fan and Zhao Lina quieted down, instinctively looking down toward the source of the sound.

“Hm, light purple,” Ye Fan couldn’t help but think.

But he immediately realized that now, if he didn’t die, he would at least be skinned alive.
