Chapter 8: Fortunately, it wasn't too bad

1102 Words
"Thump, thump, thump~" Inside the interrogation room, the policewoman, who was still watching Luo Xinying with strange eyes and hadn't even started the interrogation, was pondering the woman's identity when a series of clear footsteps suddenly echoed outside the interrogation room. Judging from the sound, someone seemed to be running quickly towards them. In an instant, a look of realization flashed across the policewoman's face, followed by a hint of horror. It seemed her guess was correct; this Luo Xinying was indeed someone important. Just from the words on the other end of the phone, "Ridiculous, my daughter Luo Jichao's daughter is a thief?", it was enough to tell that this was someone of status. But she hadn't expected that someone would arrive so soon, less than a few minutes after the call ended. Thinking of this, the policewoman was immediately relieved that she had been polite to her earlier. However, she was also curious about who this person was. Just as she hurriedly turned around, the interrogation room door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Then, a middle-aged man, over 1.7 meters tall, stood outside the door, staring at a slightly chubby face. Upon seeing this man, the policewoman's face once again showed extreme shock. My God, it was Director He from the branch office? "Hehe, you're Miss Luo? It's a misunderstanding, a real misunderstanding. This time, it was my subordinates who acted too rashly and disturbed Miss Luo. I'm so sorry, so sorry." The newly arrived man ignored the policewoman's shock. After glancing around the interrogation room, he saw Luo Xinying sitting there unharmed and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. However, he still carefully walked over, his forehead damp with sweat. At this moment, Director He truly hated the people who had arrested Luo Xinying. You see, when he suddenly received Ji Zhonghui's call and heard that some of his subordinates had arrested Governor Luo's daughter as a thief, he was almost scared to death and wished he could skin those guys alive with his own hands. This joke was really too much. He then practically sprinted into the interrogation room. "It's good you know it's a misunderstanding!" Seeing Director He's cautious demeanor, Luo Xinying, who had been sitting, still had anger on her face, but she knew she couldn't vent it on the person in front of her. So she stood up abruptly. "My friend is in another interrogation room. I wonder if that's also a misunderstanding?" "Definitely, definitely a misunderstanding." Those words immediately caused another bead of sweat to appear on Director He's forehead. Good heavens, he had almost forgotten about Luo Xinying's friend. Was she kidding? The governor's daughter's friend couldn't be an ordinary person, could she? Even if she was an ordinary person before, after associating with someone like this, she immediately became extraordinary. At this moment, a surge of anger rose within him. Did those guys eat s**t for lunch? Arresting someone like this, claiming it's a pickpocket gang? "Damn it! Wait a minute, I'll skin those bastards alive!" Even though his face was still plastered with an extremely apologetic smile, Director He cursed inwardly. However, when he saw Luo Xinying walking out, Director He thought for a moment and cautiously asked her, "Miss Luo, is your friend also from Linjiang?" Although he knew that as long as the other party knew Luo Xinying, he definitely had some value, but the value varied. If the other party was also a p********e from the provincial capital, a member of the "princess gang," then he, the director of the public security bureau, would be completely finished. But if the other party was just an ordinary friend of Luo Xinying, then it would be much easier to handle. "No, we didn't know each other before. Today, I lost my wallet, and he found it and returned it to me. I even offered him money to thank him, but he refused. So I don't think someone like that is a pickpocket." As Director He asked the question, Luo Xinying paused, thought for a moment, and finally told the truth. Although she didn't believe Xu Yu was a thief, such matters couldn't be judged solely on appearances. Even if she wanted to help him, as long as she revealed her identity, she believed the local police wouldn't dare to make a hasty judgment and would definitely give Xu Yu a fair outcome. If she wasn't mistaken, she could still get him released. However, if she had misjudged the situation and the police hesitated to investigate because of her identity, that would be counterproductive. Therefore, she ultimately decided that telling the truth was best. After Luo Xinying finished speaking, Director He, standing to the side, instantly felt completely relieved. "My God, so this is the kind of friend I have. It seems I'm not so unlucky after all." Even though he felt much more relaxed, Director He still went along with Luo Xinying's words, saying, "So that's how it is. It seems your friend really shouldn't be a pickpocket. Sigh, this time it's all our fault for not handling things properly. I'm truly sorry. Don't worry, Miss Luo, I will definitely give you an explanation." Almost patting his chest, Director He accompanied Luo Xinying out of the interrogation room. After glancing at Luo Xinying, Director He said, "I'll go check over there first." After saying that, he quickly started walking away. When he reached the door of another interrogation room, through the glass window in the door, Director He immediately saw that one person was pressing down on a figure from behind, while another person was in front, holding handcuffs and preparing to put them on the sitting figure's fingers. Director He's body visibly trembled, and half of his fat body shook violently a few times. Sure enough, these two unlucky kids were about to use inappropriate methods. Fortunately, he had kept Luo Xinying with him earlier; otherwise, if they had seen it, there would have been another troublesome situation. "Kid, are you going to confess or not? Tell me, how many people are left in your gang?" Under Director He's watchful gaze, the seemingly oblivious policeman surnamed Li grinned wickedly as he reached for Xu Yu's fingers. Handcuffs, especially when clamping a single finger, could easily provide a brutal ordeal. Behind him , another policeman surnamed Yang held down the struggling Xu Yu, also smiling. "Brother Li, why be polite? Just go for it." Xu Yu, though shocked, could only struggle helplessly. He didn't want to escalate the situation, but these two were really going to be ruthless.
