The brash arrogance on He Songquan's face was plain to see for Shen Lan.
She and Cheng Yanqing were just ordinary citizens, Cheng Yanqing trying to intimidate He Songquan with an assertive demeanor was just wishful thinking!
Look at He Songquan, seeing how tense Shen Lan was, he immediately started mocking, "Oh, is this your pretty boy husband? I could hardly tell, Shen Lan, you have quite a taste!"
Cheng Yanqing's face turned gloomy and disgruntled, smelling like a pile of rotten eggs.
Xu Tingfeng outside the door was enjoying this spectacle.
Dare to overlook Brother Cheng's status?
Tsk!
If my sister-in-law and this dog of a man knew that Brother Cheng was on the point of becoming the richest man in the country, wouldn't they be shocked to death?
But I must say, Brother Cheng is really something when it comes to cosplaying a regular guy!
Since that's the case, he'll lend a hand.
A glance from Xu Tingfeng, and the police officer by his side pushed open the door to the interrogation room. As Cheng Yanqing struggled to hold back his anger, the officer spoke first, "Our technical team has managed to restore the surveillance footage. You, He Songquan, ganged up on two young girls. And you think you're right?"
The officer's face was stern and indifferent.
He Songquan was taken aback. He had arranged for the surveillance to be tampered with, and with his connections, the police should have been biased in his favor.
How could they confront him like this in front of Shen Lan and Chen Yan?
He Songquan wore an expression of panic, "Officer, we only wanted to scare them, we didn't intend to get physical. Shen Lan is the one who beat us up..."
The officer angrily cut off He Songquan, "That's self-defense. You guys better think about how to secure forgiveness from those two!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was dumbfounded.
Shen Lan and Chen Yan initially thought they were going to fall into He Songquan's trap today. As for He Songquan? He couldn't believe that despite his meticulous planning, things have turned out like this. Where did he miscalculate?
Looking at Cheng Yanqing, even though he was dressed from head to toe in a black suit and leather shoes, He Songquan has seen pretty boys like that countless times!
So, the problem must have been with the surveillance!
But before He Songquan could do anything, Cheng Yanqing's chilly voice echoed in his ears, "We refuse any form of mediation. He attempted murder, intentionally inflicted injuries. I'm leaving with my wife now. If he has anything to say, he can talk to my lawyer."
With that, Cheng Yanqing walked up to Shen Lan, putting his arm around her shoulder.
Shen Lan and Chen Yan both stared wide-eyed.
Cheng Yanqing's boyfriend strength was simply off the charts!
But Shen Lan was still in shock, she hooked her arm through Cheng Yanqing's and hurriedly walked away.
Cheng Yanqing is just an ordinary employee and they're just ordinary people, where would they get the money to hire a lawyer?
He Songquan will see right through these empty threats sooner or later.
They'd better get out of sight of He Songquan as soon as possible!
However, after they left, He Songquan was directly informed, "Boss, no matter how much money you put it, it won't help. The surveillance footage is now with the police and they've already fixed it, there's no way I can tamper with it anymore. You should try to plea to other sources."
The only ones he could turn to now were his friends inside the force.
But, his friend simply told him, "Songquan, you've offended someone you shouldn't have. You should figure out how to secure their forgiveness." His friend hung up right after that.
Listening to the busy signal "beep...beep...", He Songquan was dumbfounded.
Offended someone he shouldn't have? Shen Lan and Chen Yan? A couple of partners from a tiny studio could hardly stir up a storm.
Unless it was that pretty boy who was with Shen Lan!
He Songquan tried to look up some information on Cheng Yanqing, but before he could make the call, his friend called again urging him, "Move fast, while you're still at the police station and the case hasn't been officially filed. Otherwise, you'll really have to go through the formal process." His friend's reminder was a wake-up call for him.
He'll have to put Cheng Yanqing's status aside for now, the most important thing was to apologize to Shen Lan first.
But when He Songquan came out of the interrogation room, there was no sign of Shen Lan in the police station.
At this point, Shen Lan was in another interrogation room with Cheng Yanqing.
Chen Yan gave them some privacy.
Shen Lan grabbed Cheng Yanqing's hand, her face full of worry and desperation, "Why did you say all that to that bastard! He's capable of anything, you can't intimidate him!"
If He Songquan comes after Cheng Yanqing again, isn't it going to be a mess?
They were just a couple who had an arranged marriage, there was no other entanglement of interests. She wouldn't forgive herself if Cheng Yanqing got into trouble because of her.
Seeing Shen Lan's panicky expression, Cheng Yanqing couldn't help but smile.
Everyone was scared of him, yet Shen Lan was worried about him!
Cheng Yanqing hummed softly, "We're in a police station right now."
Meaning: While at the police station, as long as they're tactful and have the police backing them up, they don't have to fear any reprisal from He Songquan!
But…..
In the case of a fox pretending to be a tiger, the moment the tiger leaves, the fox will come out with its tail uncovered!
Shen Lan didn't want him to get involved in any issues because of her, "Don't do this, actually he…as long as he knows enough people, worst case scenario is that I'll be detained for a few days, you….."
