Chapter 14 - Hitting People

Officer Wang also chuckled darkly, revealing a smile that only men would understand.

However, realizing his lapse, he immediately straightened his face and shouted at Su Xuan, “Kid, what’s your name?”

“Isn’t it written right there!”

Su Xuan gestured towards the record on the table, helpless.

“Hmph, Su Xuan, huh?

Kid, you’ve got some nerve flirting with Captain Han.”

“What do you mean flirting?

I’m pursuing a beautiful woman, you understand nothing!”

Taken aback by Su Xuan’s retort, Officer Wang’s expression instantly darkened.

However, contrary to Su Xuan’s expectations, he didn’t speak but stood up to lock the interrogation room’s door and then slowly walked back to the table.

“Know what this is?” He pulled out a palm-sized notebook from his pocket, waved it in front of Su Xuan, and asked.

“Isn’t that just a memo pad?”

“No, this is no ordinary memo pad, it’s a treasure.

With this, the injuries inflicted on you won’t show up, and no one will accuse us cops of abuse of power!”

“You…” Su Xuan hesitated for a moment after hearing the detective’s words, then said, “We have no grievances or grudges, right?”

“Of course not,” Officer Wang nodded, but then chuckled sinisterly and continued, “But who let you offend Zhong Nantian’s brother, Zhong Qiang!”

“I get it; you’re here to take revenge for Zhong Qiang!”

“That’s right.”

Officer Wang smiled smugly; this was not his first time doing such a deed.

But in the past, no one locked up here could have their injuries verified.

And he also knew how to measure his blows, never endangering someone’s life while causing them extreme torment.

“Heh heh…”

“What are you laughing at?!”

To Officer Wang’s surprise, this young man named Su Xuan, upon hearing he was going to be beaten, not only didn’t show fear but chuckled continuously.

“Laughing at your overestimation of yourself!”

Su Xuan shrugged, utterly indifferent.

“Hmph, no matter what you laugh at, you won’t be laughing soon!” Officer Wang’s lips curled up into a sinister smile, then, clutching the palm-sized notebook, walked towards Su Xuan.

Many people would have seen this method of beating in Hong Kong movies; the specific operation is to place the notebook against the chest of the criminal and then strike hard at the chest.

This will make the criminal feel tight-chested and uncomfortable, and even if it causes the person to vomit blood, no injury can be detected afterward.

Officer Wang placed the notebook on Su Xuan’s chest, ready to strike, but Su Xuan suddenly shouted loudly.

“Someone come quick, he’s beating me…”

Officer Wang stopped his movements, looking disdainfully at Su Xuan, “Stop yelling, even if you scream your throat hoarse, no one will come.

The interrogation room has three heavy doors and a security door, with unmatched soundproofing.

No one will hear you!”

“Oh, is that so?” Su Xuan, hearing this, indeed stopped yelling.

“Well, if no one can hear, that’s perfect.

I can take action without worry!”

“What do you mean?”

Officer Wang was taken aback, just about to ask more, when he saw Su Xuan suddenly stand up and slap him across the face.

With a loud ‘smack’, Officer Wang was hit on the head and spun around on the spot.

For a moment, he felt the world spinning, stars bursting in front of his forehead.

Before he could recover, Su Xuan slapped him again!

…

“What is wrong with Wang Tiao, Uncle Huang?

You obviously didn’t call for me, so why did he trick me into coming here?”

As Han Caiying stared at Huang Weishan in front of her, annoyed, Huang Weishan just chuckled, soothing her mood, “Alright, alright, I also wanted to see the hero who helped us catch the wanted criminal.”

“Pah, what hero?

He’s just a pervert!”

Han Caiying thought about Su Xuan peeking at the young nurse Tang Luo and also how he harassed her, and she couldn’t help but seethe.

As they spoke, they had already arrived at the entrance of the interrogation room.

Upon opening the door, Han Caiying found Wang Tiao sitting on a chair with a bruised and swollen face!

She instinctively pulled out her gun and pointed it at Su Xuan, who was calm as ever, “Officer Wang, what happened?

Did he beat you?”

“Beauty, take a good look, I’m still handcuffed, how could I hit anyone!

If anyone was hitting, it was him hitting me!”

Su Xuan looked innocent, lifting his handcuffed hands.

His hands were still cuffed to an iron table, rendering him completely immobile, let alone capable of hitting someone.

Seeing the handcuffs still on, Han Caiying breathed a sigh of relief.

She then glared at Su Xuan and turned to look at Wang Tiao.

“Officer Wang, what exactly happened?”

“He bumped into it himself!”

“I didn’t ask you, shut your mouth!”

Wang Tiao still hadn’t recovered from the terrifying ordeal, and upon hearing Su Xuan’s voice, he instinctively shuddered and whispered timidly, “No…

no problem, it was my fault.

I accidentally bumped into something!”

Hearing Wang Tiao’s words, Han Caiying suddenly widened her eyes, incredulously.

How could a bump result in bruises and a purple-swollen corner of the eye?

At that moment, the Chief of Qingshan City Police, Huang Weishan, stepped forward and said to Han Caiying, “Alright, Ying, Su Xuan was handcuffed, there’s no way he could assault an officer, you’re thinking too much.”

After saying that, he went over to Su Xuan and started to unlock his handcuffs.

“Young comrade, this was our mistake.

We’ve made you suffer wrongly.

We’ve cleared things up, and the wanted criminal has nothing to do with you.”

“Wait a second…”

Su Xuan rubbed his slightly swollen wrists, stopping Huang Weishan’s speech, “What comrade, I’m not a ‘comrade’, ask Ying if you don’t believe me.”

Caught off guard, Huang Weishan then looked at Han Caiying with a teasing gaze, “Ah, Ying, so you two know each other!

Why didn’t you say so earlier!”

“Who knows him!

He’s nothing but a pervert!”

Han Caiying yelled in frustration, but Huang Weishan didn’t believe a word and warmly shook Su Xuan’s hand instead, “Young man, we really owe you big time for catching this criminal!”

“Talking doesn’t help much, let’s see some action.

Is there a reward?”

Honestly, Su Xuan wasn’t short on money.

The tasks he had completed in the military alone came with bonuses in the millions, sufficient for his needs!

But the so-called Military God, that stubborn old man, said something about taking over the family business and didn’t need the bonuses, so they were all confiscated!

In other words, he left the military without a penny.

Coming to Qingshan City, aside from his travel expenses, he was completely broke.

Upon hearing this, Huang Weishan was startled, then awkwardly rubbed his already sparse hair and answered, “Yes, there’s a reward of three hundred thousand.

I’ll report it to the Provincial Public Security Department and have it transferred to you.”

“How long will that take?”

“Very soon, just two or three days.”

“Alright then, contact me when it’s ready; my address is all written down in the record.”

Su Xuan nodded and then walked out of the interrogation room.
