You say you're just a suspect in handcuffs, and you still think you're the boss? That arrogant attitude makes me grit my teeth. Lin Ya snorted coldly, grabbing Hao Jian's arm, and headed towards the interrogation room upstairs. He had already decided in his mind that he would thoroughly interrogate this guy. Let's see if this guy will still be so arrogant after the interrogation! Lin Ya gave Hao Jian a cold glance, full of dissatisfaction. Kid, enjoy it while you can, Yuanjiang City's police department is not to be trifled with. Teng Ziwei watched Hao Jian being taken away by Lin Ya, feeling quite smug. This Yuanjiang City police department had often been in the news, and not the good kind. Just like that, Hao Jian was taken to the second floor, while Teng Ziwei and others were treated as eyewitnesses, giving their statements to the police downstairs. "I don't care what motive you had for murder, once you enter the interrogation room, you'd better reveal your intentions, or else I can't promise you'll walk out of here unharmed." Walking through the corridor on the second floor, Lin Ya had a cold look in his eyes. To him, people who killed didn't need interrogation; directly imprisoning them would suffice. But the law and regulations must be followed, which was his responsibility as a police officer, even if his nature wasn't fully upright, he had a certain bottom line. Suddenly, a voice reached Lin Ya's ears, and hearing this familiar voice, Lin Ya's expression changed slightly; he quickly smiled and looked behind him. In front of Lin Ya stood a man around his age, though noticeably bulkier, with a barrel-like figure heavily overweight. Lin Ya dared not show any disdain towards him, instead presenting a flattering smile; this man was the director of the police department, several ranks higher than him. This director of the police department, named Zhang Hai, had fought hard over many years to defeat his competitors and secure the director's position, with the deputy director being his close associate, whom he personally promoted. "Going to handle a case?" Zhang Hai had just gone to the bathroom and noticed Lin Ya, calling out to him as they had joined the police department around the same period. Though he was now the director, Lin Ya remained just a captain. "Director Zhang, this suspect just committed murder; I'm taking him over to record his statement." Lin Ya pointed at Hao Jian, and Zhang Hai turned to look at him. This conversation with Lin Ya was just out of courtesy; Lin Ya's position wasn't high, but he had a good reputation within the police department due to his seniority, otherwise Zhang Hai wouldn't bother with subordinates like him. But upon seeing Hao Jian's face, Zhang Hai's expression changed dramatically, and he exclaimed, "Young Master Hao!" "Director Zhang, what did you say?" Startled by Zhang Hai's exclamation, Lin Ya looked confused. This corridor only had himself and Zhang Hai, so who was Zhang Hai talking to? It couldn't possibly be this guy in his hands? Shaking his head, Lin Ya couldn't believe this guy knew Zhang Hai, yet he turned to glance at Hao Jian, finding him equally bewildered, and sighed with relief. It seemed this guy didn't know Zhang Hai, but why did Zhang Hai say something he didn't understand? "Young Master Hao, how is it you?! What are you doing here?!" Zhang Hai ignored Lin Ya, feeling overwhelmingly excited at the sight of Hao Jian! This was Young Master Hao! He was the secret ruler of Hua City and had connections with most high-ranking officials in the country. Just getting close to him meant Zhang Hai could climb even higher! The reason Zhang Hai recognized Hao Jian so quickly was because he had previously attended a gathering arranged by Lin Nantian. What was supposed to be a casual meeting for police department chiefs from surrounding cities, but Lin Nantian had told them about Hao Jian to ensure they didn't mess with him. To reinforce the point, Lin Nantian had given each director a photo of Hao Jian to memorize, so they wouldn't be clueless if something happened. Faced with Hao Jian's identity, these directors dared not act recklessly and memorized the person in the photo. Even now, Zhang Hai still carried that photo with him, taking it out to study whenever he had the chance, fearing he might encounter the person in the photo. Unexpectedly, today he actually met the person in his photograph, but seeing Hao Jian arriving in handcuffs put out his fiery enthusiasm immediately. "Quick, unhand him, take off the handcuffs on Young Master Hao!" No matter why Hao Jian ended up here, what Zhang Hai needs to do now is to first sit down with Hao Jian, have a good chat, then seize the opportunity to soar high. Besides, given someone of his status, his police station wouldn't dare to interrogate this person. This guy is someone whom even the Ministry of Defense keeps in mind! How could he dare to lay a finger on this guy on his little turf?! Isn't that just asking for death?! "Ah?! Director Zhang, you... are you okay?" Upon hearing that Zhang Hai wanted him to loosen Hao Jian's handcuffs, Lin Ya instantly thought he had misheard. Seeing Lin Ya not moving, Zhang Hai immediately got anxious, reached out, grabbed the keyring from Lin Ya's waist, and gave a cold snort: "Lin Ya, are you planning to disobey me?!" Hearing Zhang Hai's dissatisfaction, sweat broke out on Lin Ya's forehead, and he quickly shook his head. It was a joke; one look at their respective ranks should tell him that if Zhang Hai wanted him out of the police station, it would be a matter of minutes. "Young Master Hao, you were startled..." Zhang Hai snorted through his nose and personally unlocked Hao Jian's handcuffs, his tone ingratiating. Hao Jian looked at Zhang Hai in puzzlement. He was very sure he had never seen this guy before. He was just a bit confused as to how this guy recognized him. Hearing this, Zhang Hai didn't get angry, instead, he smiled and explained to Hao Jian: "Actually, I heard of you from Director Lin three months ago." Upon hearing this, Hao Jian understood. It seemed Lin Nantian was worried these colleagues might unwittingly offend him, so he informed them in advance. Thinking of how he was respected by these people now, Hao Jian also smiled; it didn't matter to him. As someone who's experienced many storms, dealing with these matters was always easy. "Young Master Hao, how did my incompetent subordinate bring you here?" Zhang Hai was somewhat puzzled but was also a bit fearful. If he hadn't called out to Lin Ya on a whim earlier, he might just have offended Hao Jian without realizing it. Thinking about the consequences of offending Hao Jian, Zhang Hai was filled with dread; he might not even know the reason he got kicked out. Hearing his director call him incompetent, Lin Ya could only smile bitterly. He had managed to climb to a section-level position, which considered him a minor rank, couldn't he leave him some face? "Shut up, you have no right to speak here!" Zhang Hai turned his head, snorted, and said: "Luckily, I stopped you, otherwise you wouldn't even know how you died. Is this gentleman in front of you someone you can just mess with?!" "But he killed someone..." "So what if he killed someone?! Given his status, even if he killed a few more people, we absolutely cannot lay a hand on this person!" Upon hearing this, Lin Ya's face changed, and he looked at Hao Jian with shock. Wasn't this guy just a murder suspect? How did he turn into someone who couldn't be offended in Zhang Hai's words?! In today's Land of Huaxia, can someone really kill without bearing any charges?! Looking at his subordinate's expression, Zhang Hai knew what he was thinking, snorted again, and did not explain. The fact was true, and how to understand it was up to his subordinate. Lin Nantian mentioned at a gathering that whether or not Hao Jian had killed someone, he wouldn't be in trouble. Even if he was caught, it was only for a few hours, and nothing would happen. This was because a secretary from the Ministry of Defense had told Lin Nantian that Hao Jian had signed a contract with Huaxia, and the people he killed were all deserving of death. Moreover, this deserving of death was determined by Hao Jian himself. In other words, even if Hao Jian publicly killed Zhang Hai, nothing would happen. At most, he would just leave to dodge attention and wait for things to calm down before Huaxia fetched him back. As for why Hao Jian was so valued by Huaxia, it was not something people like Zhang Hai could speculate on. After all, Hao Jian could directly converse with national leaders, while they didn't even have the chance to see one. Zhang Hai snorted again, then turned his head with a smile, looked at Hao Jian, kindly grabbed his hand, and softly said: "Young Master Hao, please rest in my office for a while, when you've finished speaking, I will surely give you a satisfactory response!" Upon hearing this, Hao Jian nodded. After all, this was the corridor of the police station; it was normal for some officers to walk around. Going into Zhang Hai's office would be better for discussing things others shouldn't hear. "Then, Young Master Hao, please follow me." Seeing Hao Jian agree, Zhang Hai immediately turned around, kindly holding Hao Jian's hand, and walked upstairs. However, just as he stepped forward, he glanced back at Lin Ya, saying: "You come along too, I haven't properly punished you for this matter yet!" "Pun... punishment?!" Upon hearing this, Lin Ya was dumbfounded. Didn't he just catch someone? Why was he being punished? Nonetheless, he obediently followed behind Zhang Hai.
