Chapter 123 Bitter Smile
Cui Yunxuan gave a wry smile and said, "Alright, idol, you're the boss. I have to put handcuffs on you. There's no way around it; I'm just following orders. Don't hold it against me."
Liu Wentian didn't say anything, just stretched out his hands for him to cuff. He was proud and arrogant, but there was no reason to start trouble with the police for no reason. He was definitely heading to the station tonight.
Zhao Han walked over to Li He, who was beside Bai Ruguo. Shenming City was known for its three great beauties—a superstar, a businesswoman powerhouse, and a celebrated police officer. All because of Liu Wentian, they had now gathered together once more.
Zhao Han said, "Miss Bai, Miss Li, you should also come with us to the station for a visit."
Bai Ruguo was tense and said, "Liu Wentian won't get into trouble, right? Tonight's incident wasn't his fault at all. It was all Wu Hai looking for trouble."
Li He didn't speak, but her eyes were also full of concern.
Zhao Han hadn't anticipated that both women were worried about that guy and couldn't help but be somewhat surprised. This guy really had a way with women.
She said, "Miss Bai, whether there's trouble or not isn't for me to decide. All I can say is that he's gotten into big trouble!!"
......
In an upscale residential area, inside a boutique apartment's bedroom, the chairman of Xinghui Group, Wu Tianhua, was embracing his kept mistress and engaged in a certain primitive activity.
At that moment, his mobile phone started ringing. Looking at it, he saw it was a call from his son's driver.
After answering the call, Wu Tianhua was a bit annoyed and said, "What's the matter? Has that boy of mine caused trouble again? Anyone dead?"
From the other end came the panicked voice of the driver, "Boss, young master Wu... he... he..."
"What about him? Did that boy kill someone again? What are you afraid of? There's nothing his old man can't handle, as long as he wasn't caught red-handed by the police!"
"No, sir, young master Wu has been beaten up, his hands and feet have been crippled by someone!" the driver said, trembling.
"What the hell are you saying? Xiaohai has been crippled? That's impossible!"
Wu Tianhua pushed the mistress away and stood up, shouting, "Li Kaishan? Wasn't Li Kaishan with Xiaohai? How could he possibly have been crippled?"
The driver said, "Li Kaishan was almost crippled too. He can barely stand still. He was no match for them at all!"
Wu Tianhua was taken aback. He was well aware of Li Kaishan's capabilities. Even Li Kaishan getting crippled seemed impossible!
His expression turned solemn, "Tell me, what exactly happened? Don't leave out a single detail and make it clear!"
About 10 minutes later, Wu Tianhua smashed his phone on the ground, startling the mistress.
"That's it; old man doesn't care who you are. Daring to break my son's limbs, I'll make sure you're dead! For the rest of your life, you will stay in jail forever!"
At the interrogation room of the police station.
"Name?"
"Liu Wentian."
"Age?"
"22."
"Gender?"
Liu Wentian grinned and, looking at the questioning Zhao Han, said, "Are you trying to insult me? Do I, perhaps, look like a woman?"
"Liu Wentian, behave yourself!"
Zhao Han slapped the table fiercely and barked at Liu Wentian.
The officer taking notes, Cui Yunxuan, secretly gave Liu Wentian a thumbs up. Such a badass idol, even at a time like this, still had the mind to tease his own captain.
Seeing Liu Wentian's indifferent face, Zhao Han was irritated and said, "What time do you think it is now, and you're still joking around. Do you realize Wu Tianhua's top lawyer has already arrived at the station?"
After speaking, Zhao Han stared at Liu Wentian with some surprise and continued, "Feige Entertainment's Bai Zhongzhou and Tiange Group's Li Dehou even made calls to Director Zhao. It seems that in Bai Ruguo and Li He's eyes, you really do hold some weight, even dragging their fathers into this. However, what puzzles me most is how you know Qin Keqing from 'Xindu Mei'. She even made a call, too. What exactly is your relationship with her?"
Upon hearing the final question, Liu Wentian stiffened.
This woman should have had no connection with him by now, having become the helmsman of the powerful 'Xindu Mei' with thousands of underlings. Why would she bother calling for him?
First, it was Yan Tianfang letting him go, and now she was making calls to the station.
Was she holding on to old feelings? Or, did she actually have feelings for him?
That's not right. If she truly had feelings, she wouldn't have been so ruthless back then! Explore more stories with empire
Moreover, if she really had feelings for him, with the power she now wielded as the alternative queen of Shenming City, why wouldn't she come looking for him?
For a moment, Liu Wentian felt an increasingly irritable mood.
Impatient with Zhao Han, he said, "What relationship we have, what's it to you?"
"What kind of attitude is that!" Zhao Han shouted back. "Do you think I'm interested in meddling in your mess? Do you have any idea how much blood is on the hands of 'Poison Spider' Qin Keqing? If you're too close to that woman, there'll come a day when you won't even know how you died!"
Seeing the atmosphere between the two becoming very tense, Cui Yunxuan hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Idol, actually, Team Leader Zhao is just looking out for you. You—"
"Idol what? Cui Yunxuan, remember you're a policeman, this guy is a criminal suspect now! Mind how you address him!" Zhao Han glared at Cui Yunxuan.
Cui Yunxuan forced a smile, obviously somewhat afraid of Zhao Han, and looked back at Liu Wentian with a serious face and said, "Liu Wentian, your situation is really bad. When you crippled Wu Hai, there were people watching from several nearby shops. These witnesses can definitely implicate you, so your troubles are huge. If nothing unexpected occurs, you'll be going to jail. Wu Hai was beaten so badly, the hospital's verdict is that all his limbs are shattered beyond repair. And with Wu Tianhua unlikely to let you off, you're looking at at least 10 years, or even life!"
Zhao Han coldly looked at Liu Wentian. "How about that, starting to understand the fear now? Didn't think about the consequences when you were hitting someone, did you?"
"Nothing to be afraid of; worst comes to worst, I'll just run," Liu Wentian said nonchalantly.
Zhao Han was initially stunned, then remembered the first time she had encountered this fellow. When she wanted to bring him back to the station, he just ran off right in front of her!
She roared furiously, "You dare! What do you think this station is, a place you can just run from whenever you want? You dare to talk about escaping from the station right in front of a policeman, do you realize how bold you're being!"
However, after saying this, she saw that Liu Wentian simply didn't care, and felt a bit deflated. She had to admit that if he wanted to run, they'd have to keep him handcuffed and locked up forever without unlocking the door, because with his terrifying ability to dodge even bullets, he might indeed just escape.
What she didn't understand was that even if they handcuffed Liu Wentian and locked him up, it might not stop him from escaping if he really wanted to.
Yet, although Liu Wentian hadn't yet thought of a way out of the station, he had no desire to simply run away. After all, escaping from the station would mean he'd instantly be wanted, forcing him to hide in the mountains or flee Huaxia.
If he ran, what would happen to his parents back home? Moreover, he had ties in Shenming City and did not want to leave disgracefully.
While Liu Wentian was considering how to exit the station, the interrogation room door was pushed open, and a dignified, imposing middle-aged man walked in.
"Director!"
Seeing the man, Zhao Han and Cui Yunxuan stood up simultaneously.
This man was none other than the City Bureau Director, Zhao Yuwei.
