The interrogation room door suddenly opened again.
Ruan Yizhen stepped inside with a cold expression while holding her phone up.
The mont the police chief saw her, his face twisted angrily.
"What are you doing in here?!"
He pointed directly toward the door.
"Are you trying to cause more trouble?! You’re suspended! Go ho imdiately!"
Seeing this...
Ye Chen imdiately wanted to defend his future woman.
Right as he opened his mouth.
A calm male voice suddenly echoed from the phone speaker.
"Police Chief... It’s not very professional to scream at one of your own officers."
The room instantly froze.
The police chief frowned.
"...Who the hell is this?"
His tone beca even angrier.
"Do you know who you’re talking to?!"
[Not him...] Ye Chen knew that voice well.
His stomach began to turn.
[This bastard better not ruin this...]
Ye Chen genuinely felt nervous.
Then Shen Tian’s voice calmly sounded once more.
"Shen Tian. Young Master of the Shen Family."
A brief pause followed.
Then his tone beca colder.
"And last I checked... My father happens to know the Minister of Public Security personally. It’d be unfortunate if you suddenly lost your job."
The instant those words entered the police chief’s ears.
His legs almost gave out beneath him.
Cold sweat exploded across his forehead.
"Young Master Shen! There seems to be so misunderstanding—"
"Shut up."
Shen Tian interrupted him imdiately.
"Slap yourself."
Without hesitation.
The police chief instantly obeyed.
SMACK!
He slapped himself across the face hard.
"..." Ye Chen stared in disbelief.
The police chief from earlier was a little scared of him... But to Shen Tian, he looked like a terrified dog.
"Y-Young Master Shen..."
The police chief kept nervously slapping himself while trying desperately to explain.
"You have to understand!"
SMACK!
"The Ling Family personally called!"
SMACK!
"I had no power here!"
SMACK!
He tried sounding reasonable.
Tried finding excuses.
Shen Tian clearly didn’t care.
"You assaulted one of your officers. That is illegal and extrely inappropriate for soone in your position. So here’s what’s going to happen. I want you to arrest yourself. My family lawyers will contact Officer Ruan personally to assist her. Goodbye."
Click.
The call ended instantly.
Silence filled the interrogation room.
The police chief stood there, frozen.
Like a man watching his entire life collapse around him.
Then slowly.
His face twisted violently.
And suddenly.
He turned toward Ye Chen.
"It’s all YOUR fault!"
BAM!
He imdiately started punching Ye Chen repeatedly.
Ye Chen fell backward onto the floor, completely caught off guard.
"You ruined my life!"
The police chief kicked and punched him hysterically.
He couldn’t touch Ruan Yizhen anymore.
Not after learning she had a connection to Shen Tian.
So instead.
He took his anger out on the easier target.
Ye Chen himself looked completely dumbfounded while covering his head.
"ARE YOU INSANE?!"
Before he could properly retaliate.
Several officers suddenly rushed into the room.
"TASER!"
BZZZT!
The police chief convulsed violently before stopping his attacks.
Within seconds.
He was restrained in handcuffs.
And personally placing the cuffs on him.
Was Ruan Yizhen herself.
Her face remained completely cold.
"...Sir, you are under arrest."
Ye Chen slowly stood back up from the floor while wiping blood from his nose.
"That’s what you get, you corrupt pig..."
He spat toward the police chief angrily.
His expression shifted again.
Turning toward Ruan Yizhen, he tried putting on a cool and dependable look.
"Thank you, Officer Ruan."
He lightly flexed his arms afterward.
"Though honestly... I could’ve handled him myself."
The "muscle display" looked incredibly pathetic.
Especially considering he had just spent the last hour screaming, crying, getting tased, and begging for a different police escort.
Ruan Yizhen simply rolled her eyes.
This man sohow beca more embarrassing every ti he opened his mouth.
Without responding, she dragged the police chief out of the room.
Ye Chen imdiately smiled proudly to himself.
[Yep, another woman impressed by my masculine charm.]
The mont he tried following her out...
A massive figure suddenly blocked the doorway completely.
"...."
Ye Chen’s smile slowly disappeared.
The bearded officer stood there casually.
Without warning...
He reached forward and grabbed Ye Chen gently by the waist.
Pulling him closer.
Chest against chest.
"Now now, sweetheart~"
The officer smiled warmly.
"You aren’t going anywhere yet."
Then horrifyingly...
He licked his lips slightly.
A chill instantly ran down Ye Chen’s spine.
He shoved himself backward imdiately.
"D-Didn’t you hear?!"
"The Ling Family personally called for !"
The bearded officer chuckled deeply.
"Maybe earlier."
Then his smile widened slightly.
"But now? The Shen Family personally got involved. Big difference."
Ye Chen’s face instantly darkened again.
After several seconds.
He could only grit his teeth and turn back around.
Then angrily slamd himself back into the chair.
"Fine! I’ll wait!"
Then Ye Chen pointed accusingly toward the bearded officer.
"But don’t touch again!"
The bearded officer simply leaned against the doorway happily.
"No promises, handso."
Elsewhere inside the station.
Ruan Yizhen closed the holding cell door after locking the forr police chief inside.
The man who once was her superior now sat defeated behind bars.
Yet despite successfully arresting him.
Ruan Yizhen’s emotions still felt weird...
Her heart had not cald down since the phone call earlier.
As she walked down the empty hallway alone, her thoughts repeatedly replayed Shen Tian’s words.
"You assaulted one of your officers."
"That is illegal."
"My family lawyers will contact Officer Ruan personally."
Nobody had ever stepped in for her like that before.
Especially not soone with Shen Tian’s status.
Most rich young masters only cared about themselves.
Yet Shen Tian.
Despite being from one of the Top Four Families.
Actually cared about justice being carried out properly.
And more importantly.
He had protected her.
Eventually.
Ruan Yizhen turned a corner away from the others.
Then slowly leaned back against the wall.
Her legs suddenly felt weak.
So she quietly slid down until sitting on the floor.
Taking a slow breath, she pulled out her phone.
Then after hesitating briefly...
She opened a photo of Shen Tian that was trending on the internet.
The image showed him standing beside a Bugatti while holding flowers.
Even through a phone screen...
He looked unfairly handso.
Ruan Yizhen quietly stared at the picture for several seconds.
Then slowly held the phone close against her chest.
"Young Master Shen..."
Her voice ca out soft.
"I won’t let your sense of justice be destroyed... I won’t let soone like Ye Chen walk free so easily..."
A faint blush even appeared across her face.
And for the first ti in her entire life, Ruan Yizhen realized sothing terrifying.
Her mind...
Which had always been filled only with rules, justice, and responsibility.
Now kept thinking about a man instead.
