Chapter 35 - Who Gave You the Courage?

Xia Zhi nodded. "I see, thank you."

The rookie cop rubbed his head sheepishly and said, "You're welcome. Zhang Meng was the one who crossed the line, after all. Right, I'll wait for you here. After all, you're not a criminal. I need to respect your privacy and can't follow you around."

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi responded, "Okay."

Xia Zhi was still concerned about how she could get rid of him, but the opportunity presented itself sooner than she had anticipated. She was here to learn more about the insider.

Using the topographic map she had discovered earlier, Xia Zhi was able to sneak past the cameras and into the records. She was surprised, however, to find out that absolutely nothing was known about the traitor. It was as if the previous information she had been given was completely fabricated.

Xia Zhi felt some frustration at the thought of this.

Xia Zhi had moved very quickly, so the young policeman didn't suspect anything.

However, Xia Zhi didn't expect to see Zhang Meng sitting on a chair in the interrogation room with a gloomy expression when they returned. Moreover, this gloomy expression was directly directed at the young policeman. "Su Mu, you've sure grown a pair. You dare to take a prisoner out of the interrogation room without my permission?"

The young police officer, who was also known as the Sumu, turned pale after hearing Zhang Meng's words. However, even so, he still forced himself to say to Zhang Meng, "Miss Xia is not a criminal. You will get your retribution sooner or later!"

Zhang Meng gave a wry grin after hearing this and said, "Heh, retribution? I don't know what kind of retribution I will have, but I know that you have been laid off! At the same time, I'll also tell my dad, Director Zhang, to inform all the police stations to not hire you. From now on, you can no longer be a police officer!"

This time, Su Mu's face went completely white, and he was visibly shaking with rage. His eyes were bloodshot, but he gritted his teeth to stop himself from crying.

Xia Zhi, noticing this, stood up and said in a low voice, "I want to see how capable your father is."

Zhang Meng was intrigued by what he saw. "Yo, you're so protective of this pretty boy. Do you have a crush on him?"

After Xia Zhi heard this, she mocked him, "What's wrong? Is lust all that's left in your mind? How superficial could you be?"

Zhang Meng had no idea he would one day be ridiculed. He was furious and said without thinking, "Good job. I've got news for you, you won't be able to get out of prison for the rest of your life! Even if not today, I'll give you one later and sentence you to life imprisonment!"

The door of the interrogation room was opened the second Zhang Meng finished his sentence.

With the sound of the door being opened, Zhang Meng flew into a rage. Without even looking to see who it was, he cursed, "Which idiot opened the door? Can't you see that I'm interrogating someone? Do you want to die?"

However, when Zhang Meng turned around, he was dumbfounded.

This was because he saw Chen Feng. More importantly, Chen Feng was pushing a man in a wheelchair. His features were exquisite, but his stare was icy. When Zhang Meng met his gaze, he felt his legs go weak. He could not hold on any longer and fell to the ground.

The words of his father, "Although our Zhang family is very powerful in the capital and others have to be polite when they see us, we must not provoke Fifth Elder Chu," also came flooding back to Zhang Meng at the same time. "He may be wheelchair-bound, but three of our generations could be easily put into the grave by a single word from that man."

These words lingered in his ears, but at the same time, Zhang Meng had not forgotten that he had actually cursed at Fifth Elder Chu just now.

Realizing this, Zhang Meng quickly crawled to Chu Nan and said with a trembling voice, "I-I wasn't scolding you just now. I was actually scolding her just now!"

After Zhang Meng finished speaking, he pointed at Xia Zhi with a trembling hand.

Xia Zhi didn't expect Zhang Meng to frame her. She smiled in amusement.

When Zhang Meng saw Xia Zhi's smile, his heart trembled slightly. Before he could recover, Chu Nan's icy cold voice rang in his ears. "Who gave you the guts to scold my fiancée?"
