"Hmm, you all leave first. I will interrogate this prisoner," Chief Li Ke said indifferently.
"Yes, sir!"
The law enforcent officer hesitated for a mont but still got up and left the interrogation room.
Once both officers had exited, Chief Li Ke stepped away from the door, and a woman entered the interrogation room, with him following behind her.
"Hua Feng’er?" Jiang Chen was startled upon seeing the woman who entered the interrogation room and asked in surprise, "This matter involves you as well?"
Hua Feng’er was also taken aback, "What involves ?"
"Nothing. Why are you here?" Jiang Chen shook his head, seeing that it evidently had nothing to do with her.
With a cold smile, Hua Feng’er arrogantly said, "Jiang Chen, I am here to offer you a way out. You should kneel and apologize to right now, then cure my father’s illness, and I can find soone to get you out and arrange for you to go overseas. Otherwise, you are as good as dead."
Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile, looking at Hua Feng’er as if she were a fool, "I won’t have any trouble at all, so why should I cave to your threats?"
"You won’t have any trouble? Ha, the representatives of the Four Great Aristocratic Families have already inford that you killed two people, and according to the dostic law, you will spend a lifeti in prison, and there’s a high possibility that you will be executed. And yet you think you won’t have any trouble? What are you thinking?" Hua Feng’er scoffed derisively.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "Hua Feng’er, don’t you know there’s such a thing as ’justifiable defense’ in this world?"
"Justifiable defense? Do you have any evidence? All the caras nearby were controlled and wiped at that ti. Relying solely on Ye Yu Wan’s testimony, you can’t possibly be saved. Besides, all other mbers of the Ye Family uniformly stated that you killed those people, and it was you who initiated the killing! Who do you think can save you?" Hua Feng’er mocked, with the look of soone certain of victory.
A glint of cold light flashed through Jiang Chen’s eyes; the Ye Family mbers were actually kicking him while he was down— he had been too polite to them in the past!

The door to the interrogation room suddenly opened, and Chief Li Ke was startled. He shouted, "Who opened that door, don’t you know... Chief Zhao? What brings you here?"
Upon recognizing the person standing at the door, Chief Li Ke’s face was full of surprise.
The man at the door was none other than Chief Zhao Zhenghua of the Dingjing Police Departnt, accompanied by Gong Lin and Ye Yu Wan.
"Chief Li, are you dissatisfied with the assignnt I’ve given you? Since when does the External Affairs Managent Office handle case interrogations? Should I transfer you to front-line duty?" Zhao Zhenghua gave Hua Feng’er a glance, looking at Chief Li Ke with displeasure.
Chief Li Ke’s heart tightened, and he quickly explained, "No, Chief Zhao, this prisoner has so entanglents with the overseas Fla Dragon rchants, so..."
"Since when can rchants dictate our police departnt’s affairs?" Zhao Zhenghua walked into the interrogation room, staring coldly at Chief Li Ke.
Gong Lin and Ye Yu Wan went to Jiang Chen’s side, looking at him with concern, and Jiang Chen gave the two won a reassuring glance.
"Chief Zhao, we ca here to invest. Shouldn’t you be responsible for our safety?" Hua Feng’er demanded with an ugly expression, looking at Zhao Zhenghua.
Zhao Zhenghua indifferently replied, "Miss Hua, right? Have you or anyone in your party suffered any harm to your personal safety?"
"My father needs him to treat his illness!" Hua Feng’er claid righteously.
Zhao Zhenghua chuckled, "If a treatnt is needed, then make a proper invitation. What do you an, Miss Hua? If your father needs treatnt, does our police departnt need to capture the doctor for you?"
"We ca to make a major investnt!" Hua Feng’er shouted loudly.
Zhao Zhenghua’s face turned stern, "Miss Hua is welco in Dingjing to invest, but don’t think that just because you’re investing, you can disdain the law. This is a police station, not your business negotiation table, and you have no right to co to our interrogation room to speak with a criminal suspect!"
"You..." Hua Feng’er, too furious to retort, her eyes suddenly darted around before she pointed at Gong Lin and Ye Yu Wan, challenging, "What about them? How co they can co?"
Zhao Zhenghua said indifferently, "They are here to pick up Mr. Jiang."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhao Zhenghua turned to his n: "Release him!"
"Yes!" The officer behind him replied and stepped forward to unlock Jiang Chen’s handcuffs.
"What do you an? You’re protecting a criminal! He’s killed a person, why are you releasing him?" Hua Feng’er’s face changed color as she shouted, "You must give an explanation, and if you don’t, I will go to Dingjing Mansion to report you to those lords!"
"Sure, go ahead!"
Zhao Zhenghua glanced at Hua Feng’er with disdain, then turned and bowed towards Jiang Chen, "Mr. Jiang, my apologies for offending you. Your dashcam was facing the site of the incident, and the footage accurately captures the scene.
You acted in self-defense, absolutely no mistake.
Moreover, upon further investigation of the two assassins, one is an A-grade wanted criminal, and the other is a convict released on dical parole. Not only are you faultless, but you’ve actually done a compelling service!"
"Oh! A wanted criminal and a convict on dical parole?"
Jiang Chen was taken aback for a mont before he understood why Zhang Kun didn’t seem to care at all about the deaths of the two Royal Realm Martial Artists; it turned out that those two were not from the Zhang Family at all.
So that’s how it is.
Jiang Chen imdiately relaxed, gave a slight smile, stood up, and flexed his wrists, then strode over to the still stunned Hua Feng’er:
"See? I told you, I’m fine.
But your father, he’s indeed in trouble. With all this delay, his condition has only gotten worse.
If you really want to treat him, kneel down and apologize to , beg to cure him, and perhaps, I might consider it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen didn’t wait for Hua Feng’er’s reaction and turned to leave the police station with the two ladies, Gong Lin.
"You, bastard!"
Hua Feng’er was so angry she gritted her teeth and stamped her feet furiously, then pointed at Zhao Zhenghua: "I’m going to report you!"
"Feel free."
Zhao Zhenghua said calmly and walked away with his head high and chest out.
Hua Feng’er’s pretty face turned crimson with rage, but she was helpless and could only leave in frustration, heading back to Shenghua Hotel.
"Dad, that Jiang Chen is just hateful, to think he’d want us to kneel and apologize to him!" Back in the room, Hua Feng’er complained furiously.
Hua Zhiqiang’s face changed, and he shouted, "Insolent brat, it looks like he’s asking for death!"
After a mont’s contemplation, Hua Zhiqiang ordered with a solemn face, "Feng’er, contact the heads of the Four Great Aristocratic Families and have them co here. We’ll join forces to shut him down. I will prepare to select another site for Xincheng, which will make the value of Sky Venerate City plumt!
Also, ask for their help in locating soone. I’ve heard from friends overseas that Pi Te, a tutor at the rlamos dical Research Institute of the Northern Confederation, is currently in Dingjing. Find him to treat ."
"Okay, I’ll get on it!" Hua Feng’er nodded and quickly left the room.
It didn’t take long for the Four Great Aristocratic Families to gather once again.
