Xu Fan held Tongtong in his arms and followed Lu Chenbing out of the interrogation room.
Several people in uniform, carrying briefcases, slowly approached Lu Chenbing’s side.
“Chief Lu, the members of the ‘Liu Hai case’ investigation team are all in place,” said a police officer with glasses, saluting Lu Chenbing respectfully.
“Good, take Liu Hai away for a thorough interrogation, but add one more charge, attempted premeditated murder of police officers,” instructed Lu Chenbing with a stern voice.
Li Shan, the guard beside him, then briefed them on the dangerous situation Lu Chenbing faced in the interrogation room.
“What audacity Liu Hai has! Chief Lu, you’re not injured, are you?” the head of the investigation team asked with concern.
“I’m unharmed. For scum like Liu Hai, we must conduct a thorough investigation and show no leniency!” declared Lu Chenbing firmly.
“Yes!” the members of the investigation team replied firmly in unison.
A few people, with several volumes of case files, escorted Liu Hai to another interrogation room. However, this time Liu Hai was no longer the proud chief of the interrogation room but rather a prisoner at the mercy of others.
“Liu Hai! You are suspected of colluding with the dark forces of the Jin Hui Group, acting as their protector, abusing power for personal gain, accepting luxury cars, property, and money from Song Qiang, as well as participating in gambling, underworld dealings, and various other activities in violation of discipline. We are now detaining you according to the law! You have committed acts that are abhorrent to both humans and gods, wait for the law to punish you,” the head of the investigation team said loudly to Liu Hai, who was handcuffed below.
Liu Hai’s face turned ashen, and in an instant, he seemed to have aged more than a decade. All his strength appeared to have been drained, and he slowly collapsed, sliding off the chair to the floor.
Suddenly, Liu Hai remembered what Xu Fan had said to Tongtong in the interrogation room.
“You’ll see soon enough who will end up in jail and who will be begging.”
Consequently, Liu Hai, as if seized by madness, lunged at the members of the investigation team, his eyes red, and demanded, “Tell me! Who exactly is Xu Fan?”
“Ha ha, with your status, you’re not worthy of knowing!” the head of the investigation team commanded the guards to pull the frantic Liu Hai back onto the seat.
The head of the investigation team had seen with his own eyes how Xu Fan addressed Lu Chenbing as Elder Brother Lu and how Lu Chennong had treated Xu Fan with great respect. Their relationship was clearly very close.
Only a blind man like Liu Hai would dare to offend someone close to Lu Chenbing. It was a death wish, and he could blame no one but himself.
Liu Hai burst into tears, clutching his head. Although no one said it, he could vaguely guess that Xu Fan, capable of getting Chief Gu to personally come to his rescue, wielded unimaginable influence.
Consumed by deep regret, Liu Hai realized that if he had not deliberately favored Song Qiang that day but had enforced the law impartially, he might have made the acquaintance of Xu Fan. Had Xu Fan spoken a few words on his behalf to Chief Gu, perhaps all of his past wrongdoings could have been smoothed over.
Alas, it was too late for any regrets now. With numerous serious crimes stacked against him, what awaited him was the severest of trials. Liu Hai, in agony, covered his head, his eyes filled with nothing but despair.
Through the one-way glass, Xu Fan and Chief Gu watched every move in the interrogation room.
Xu Fan could clearly see the expression of pain on Liu Hai’s face.
Liu Hai had harbored a deep intent to kill Xu Fan, and Xu Fan knew that Liu Hai had wanted to put him to death. Therefore, Xu Fan felt not a shred of sympathy for Liu Hai, especially since he had previously committed numerous crimes. Bringing such a vermin to justice, Xu Fan felt he had done a good deed for the people of Songning District.
“There’s another one, Zhu Touqiang.” Xu Fan blinked and thought for a moment. This Song Qiang was the head of a criminal gang, and due to Liu Hai’s involvement this time, he likely couldn’t escape the law’s sanction.
However, Xu Fan had already made up his mind in the darkness of his heart.
He was determined to turn him into a beggar on the streets.
That was exactly how Song Qiang had threatened Tongtong, wanting to turn Tongtong into a little beggar on the streets.
If Xu Fan didn’t possess these supernatural abilities, it was very likely that his words could have come true. But now the situation had completely turned around, and for Xu Fan to crush him was as simple as crushing an ant.
A cold glint flashed in Xu Fan’s eyes as he decided on Song Qiang’s fate.
At an appropriate time, Xu Fan would personally destroy his power, break his limbs, and turn him into a beggar asking for alms on the streets.
Anyone who harbored ill intentions towards Tongtong would pay a bloody price by Xu Fan’s hand.
This was the once supreme ruler of the entire universe, the Five-Direction Heavenly Emperor, who never showed the slightest mercy to his enemies.
“Brother Xu, I still don’t know the name of your lovely daughter.” Lu Chenbing looked at the exquisite little Tongtong in Xu Fan’s arms, his curiosity piqued.
“Hello, uncle, my name is Tongtong. Thank you for saving me and my dad,” Tongtong said, nodding her head and raising her little hand to make a gesture of thanks with clenched fists.
“Haha, Tongtong is really a sweet and well-behaved child. That scoundrel Liu Hai, look how he scared the little princess,” said Lu Chenbing. Though he appeared as an imposing police officer to others, faced with the melting presence of little Tongtong, his eyes softened with a rare warmth.
“Uncle Lu, when Tongtong grows up, she also wants to be a police officer, as awe-inspiring as Uncle Lu, and catch all the bad guys,” Tongtong said, waving her arms and struggling to climb out of Xu Fan’s embrace and into Lu Chenbing’s.
Lu Chenbing laughed and took Tongtong into his arms. Holding this exquisite little princess made his heart feel younger. He said to Tongtong, “You have such great ambition, Uncle Lu supports you. Tongtong will surely be an impressive police officer in the future.”
“Thank you, Uncle Lu,” Tongtong said, shaking her head: “When I become a police officer, I will also protect Daddy, and not let any bad people bully him.”
“Haha, Brother Xu, your daughter is so protective of you, thinking of guarding you even at her young age,” Lu Chenbing said to Xu Fan with a smile.
“Tongtong, Daddy is superman, no bad guy can beat superman. See, didn’t Daddy catch these two bad guys as well? Tongtong will always be Daddy’s girl, and Daddy will always protect Tongtong,” Xu Fan said indulgently to Tongtong.
“Okay, then Tongtong will always be protected by Daddy,” Tongtong clapped her hands happily and said.
The phone suddenly started ringing. Lu Chenbing took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a call from his elder brother, Lu Chennong, and he answered the call without hesitation.
“Hello, brother, I’ve rescued the person, and he’s right next to me now,” Lu Chenbing said into the phone after hearing the urgent voice of Lu Chennong on the other end. He even felt a bit jealous. His brother cared so much for Xu Fan; when he himself had gotten lost in the mountains for three days, his brother had never been this concerned about him.
“Xiao Bing, let Xu Fan take the call,” Lu Chennong’s voice came from the phone.
“Xu Fan, my brother wants you on the phone,” said Lu Chenbing, passing the phone to Xu Fan who was beside him.
