Chapter 8: A Small Trial

Chapter 8: Chapter 8: A Small Trial

"You damn well go to hell!"

Zhou Yan was shaking with anger, just the two of them in the large interrogation room.

Was the sound not from Lin Xi but a ghost?

Clearly, she was deceived. This scumbag on the floor was playing dead!

Playing dead!

Thinking about that sentence just now ’there’s also artificial respiration’, Zhou Yan was seething, realizing he was pretending to be dead to steal a kiss from her.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly.

Otherwise, her first kiss, saved for over twenty years, would have been taken by the scumbag in front of her.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Zhou Yan completely lost it and kicked Lin Xi’s waist with all her might.

When she acted just now, Zhou Yan had held back a bit, but now she was using all her strength.

Lin Xi opened his eyes, feeling he couldn’t keep pretending, and sighed regretfully.

He then leaped up, dodging Zhou Yan’s furious kick at a speed difficult for the naked eye to see.

While dodging, he sighed regretfully again, "So close, just a little more."

Zhou Yan didn’t give Lin Xi time to think more. Seeing one hit missed, she immediately reacted with a sweeping kick.

Lin Xi retreated, not engaging in combat with the furious Zhou Yan.

Then Zhou Yan fully displayed her combat skills.

Left straight punch!

Then right straight punch!

Then right roundhouse kick!

,,,,,

A series of continuous attacks were aimed at Lin Xi.

Meanwhile, Lin Xi,

retreated!

sidestepped!

retreated again!

,,,,,

The two ran around the interrogation room, you chase, I run.

After about ten minutes, Zhou Yan was utterly exhausted, her movements slowed, and she was drenched in fragrant sweat.

But she still didn’t give up, continuously punching and kicking at Lin Xi, completely transforming into a furious lioness.

Lin Xi, however, stared intensely at Zhou Yan, thinking another ten minutes and it would be quite a scene.

"Bang!"

Someone knocked on the door, with quite a bit of force.

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

,,,,,,,

Then came a series of urgent knocks.

Zhou Yan frowned, immediately filled with anger, wondering if the two at the door didn’t realize she was interrogating a scumbag?

"What’s the matter now!!!"

Opening the door, Zhou Yan roared as if unleashing a shout from the East River.

Lin Xi was already seated on the chair by then, noticing that the people at the door weren’t the two officers from before, but a slightly overweight middle-aged man.

This man seemed in rather good spirits, with dark skin and ordinary looks, but his eyes were quite bright.

His face was tense, with a hint of anger.

"Ah, Director He..."

Zhou Yan’s expression changed slightly, unexpectedly surprised.

"Hmm."

Director He nodded at Zhou Yan, saying nothing more, quickly looking towards the interrogation room, and exhaled only when he saw Lin Xi sitting safely, thinking,

"Thank goodness, thank goodness!"

Since Zhou Yan came to his institute a few months ago, not only had there been numerous complaints from both police and citizens, but he, as the director, had also been criticized several times by his superiors.

If this trend continued, he’d soon be dismissed.

However, he dared not fire Zhou Yan, and even giving a warning had to be delicately circled around.

If not for that, he might have been dismissed even before any official criticism.

Alas!

So tired at heart!

"Xiaozhou, is the interrogation finished?" Director He only then noticed Zhou Yan was drenched in sweat, panting, like she’d just engaged in extreme exercise.

He then carefully looked at Lin Xi, seeing him unscathed, not appearing internally injured or anything.

No matter, as long as the person was fine, everything was manageable.

"Not yet."

Zhou Yan replied, glaring angrily at the two subordinates behind Director He.

Evidently, she was betrayed by her two subordinates.

"But I’m almost done, Director, rest assured, nothing will happen; I’ll handle him in five minutes."

"Hmm, you’ve been busy all day, hurry back and rest, let Xiaoli and the others handle the rest of the interrogations!"

Director He instructed, and only after Zhou Yan nodded in agreement did he leave the interrogation room with the two subordinates.

"Then hurry and ask; I haven’t had a break all day!" Lin Xi remarked as he noticed only he and the policewoman were left in the interrogation room.

Zhou Yan gritted her teeth, feeling unfairly blamed.

"Name?"

"Taken apart, the dream character, surname Lin, first name Xi."

"Just say it, don’t be slick with me!!"

"Lin Xi." He almost wanted to say, you have no depth, Zhou Yan.

"And male, interested in females, with upright values."

"Upright?" Zhou Yan gave a disdainful look, "A streetwalking girl suits your kind well."

"You’re wrong about that; everyone has aspirations, all are equal; we should learn to respect others, even if their job is lowly; if they earn honestly, it’s worthy of respect." Lin Xi retorted.

"Besides, I was just staying over, not being sleazy as you police think. Do you have evidence, did you see us doing anything illegal?"

"In fact, no, you’re just randomly arresting people."

"These days, police, having meals and nothing to do, just disturb others’ rest."

"By the way, are you done questioning, I need to go back to the hotel to rest."

Zhou Yan, not good at debating, was bewildered by Lin Xi, never expecting a suspect to be so arrogant in a police station.

"Want to leave?"

"You go to hell!"

Zhou Yan’s temper finally boiled over again, pouncing on Lin Xi like a clawing tiger, no, a tigress.

"Ha, if a tiger doesn’t show its power, even a female dares to be so arrogant!"

This time, Lin Xi didn’t dodge, swiftly reaching out to grab Zhou Yan’s arm, pulling her, causing her to lose balance.

He then slightly exerted his shoulder to hit Zhou Yan’s back, making her bend over the table, yet not releasing her arm but twisting it instead.

"Ah!"

Zhou Yan let out a painful scream, cold sweat faintly visible on her forehead. Lin Xi didn’t hold back with the twist.

"Will you let me go now?" Lin Xi asked.

"No way!"

"And I’ll tell you, you’re assaulting a police officer now!" Zhou Yan, after all, a combat expert, didn’t lose her ability to fight back, even while being controlled by Lin Xi.

During Lin Xi’s question, she aimed a left kick back, targeting his vulnerable area.

Lin Xi remained unchanged, as if everything was in his control.

He slightly moved, avoiding it, leaving her unable to move.

"Will you let go?" Lin Xi asked again.
