Liu Mang was escorted back to the police station by three police officers, including Lu Mengyao, and was thrown directly into the interrogation room.
"You two wait outside, no matter what noises you hear, no matter what happens, don't come in!" Lu Mengyao instructed her two colleagues and subordinates, clenching her fists at the door.
The two male police officers exchanged glances, knowing full well inside their heads.
It was clear that Lu Mengyao was particularly displeased with Liu Mang and planned to teach him a harsh lesson.
"The chief had a word with you just a few days ago. Look, it's just a case of an attempted health spa visit, is it really necessary?" one male officer said in a low voice.
Lu Mengyao gave the male officer a cold look and scolded angrily, "Am I the boss or are you the boss? I have a sense of measure in this matter. Remember, no matter what noise comes from inside, you do not enter!"
After those words, Lu Mengyao entered the interrogation room with a sinister smile, closed the door behind her, and locked it.
When Lu Mengyao looked at Liu Mang, flames of rage seemed to burst from her eyes.
The guy wasn't scared at all; he was slouching in his chair at the interrogation table, his eyes wide and shifty, staring at her fiery body.
The man in front of her wasn't the heaviest offender she had come across, but he was certainly the most hateful.
Not to mention anything else, but those shifty eyes of his were hateful enough.
Lu Mengyao wished she could immediately gouge out his eyes and crush them underfoot.
He was still defiant in the face of the police, and now that he had been brought back to the station, he acted as if nothing was wrong.
Based on her experience, Lu Mengyao could almost surely tell that Liu Mang was no good citizen.
Maybe he had done other things besides attempting to visit the health spa that evening.
Lu Mengyao cracked her knuckles as she approached Liu Mang, deliberately emitting a frightening aura, a veritable Ice Queen in full intimidation mode, aiming to suppress Liu Mang with her sharp presence and teach him the taste of fear.
But the closer she got to Liu Mang, the more wrong it felt; the guy was still acting nonchalant, completely unresponsive to her imposing aura.
This only confirmed Lu Mengyao's suspicion that Liu Mang was far from being a good citizen, especially since she had intimidated many a brutal crook with her presence alone, causing their legs to go weak.
Finally reaching Liu Mang's side, Lu Mengyao slapped the table in front of him and said sternly, "You know why I brought you here, right?"
"What's the matter?" Liu Mang picked at his ears, casually asking.
He looked left and right; after a thorough look around the room, only he and Lu Mengyao were present.
Suddenly, Liu Mang's eyes lit up, and he chuckled, "I get it, I get it. But do you really think that's okay, beauty? I don't mind, but after all, this is a police station, not a hotel. If you wanted something from me, why didn't you just say it at the hotel? Was it necessary to bring me all the way here?"
The more Lu Mengyao listened, the tighter her brows knitted; this was all nonsensical.
After thinking it over, Lu Mengyao understood the implication of Liu Mang's words and blurted out, "Are you saying that I want to take advantage of you?"
"Is there any other possibility?" Liu Mang rubbed his hands together, "It can't be that you want me to turn the tables and take advantage of you, right? I'm quite willing to do that; which part should I start with?"
As he finished speaking, Liu Mang scoped out Lu Mengyao once more, his gaze fixated on her devilish curves.
Being teased and stared at by Liu Mang, Lu Mengyao felt a surge of impulse, the urge to commit murder.
Glancing back at the door, which was now locked, the corners of Lu Mengyao's mouth curled upward, "It seems if I don't give you a taste of bitterness, you won't know how formidable Lu Mengyao is!"
In a flash, Lu Mengyao's hand reached toward Liu Mang, her fingers spread to grab his collar.
Lu Mengyao was quick to act; it seemed she was about to grasp Liu Mang, but her fingers clasped together in vain, catching nothing.
Having failed to catch him, Lu Mengyao was momentarily stunned.
When she regained her composure and looked at Liu Mang again, he was still sitting there properly, as if he hadn't moved an inch.
Lu Mengyao wondered if she had misjudged the distance and that's why she failed to catch him.
No, that couldn't be right; with the lights on and the room well-lit, how could she have misjudged?
The only possibility was that Liu Mang had dodged.
Lu Mengyao reached out again when her first attempt failed to grab Liu Mang.
This time, Liu Mang didn't dodge, allowing Lu Mengyao to catch him squarely, and he was forcefully lifted into the air.
Immediately after, a sharp pain came from Liu Mang's abdomen as Lu Mengyao delivered a fierce punch.
"Ah." A piercing scream, so shrill it could not have been more so, erupted from Liu Mang's mouth; his head tilted, his body went limp, and he stopped moving entirely.
Having viciously struck Liu Mang with a punch, Lu Mengyao couldn't help feeling extremely satisfied.
But it was just one punch that had made Liu Mang go limp, which was somewhat surprising for her.
This guy was so hefty and seemed unfazed by her aura; he should have been quite formidable.
Now, to her amazement, he had been felled by a single punch.
"You little brat, don't you play dead on me, there's more fun to come for you!" Lu Mengyao shook Liu Mang vigorously, but no matter how much she shook him, he showed no reaction.
Could it be that he was knocked unconscious by a single punch?
Was he really that weak?
Pretending to faint, huh? Well, let's see you keep up the act, thought Lu Mengyao as she threw another punch at Liu Mang.
With that punch, Liu Mang still showed no response, and the impact of Lu Mengyao's punch felt as if it had landed on a corpse.
Lu Mengyao quickly checked Liu Mang's breathing.
Shit, there's no breath.
No breath could mean he's holding his breath, so Lu Mengyao hurriedly felt for the pulse on Liu Mang's neck.
Nothing, absolutely no pulse, no heartbeat!
Mommy, two punches and I've killed a man!
Lu Mengyao's face turned green in an instant, what a mess.
As a police officer, Lu Mengyao knew all too well how serious this was.
Losing the uniform was the least of her concerns; she was definitely going to prison, at least for a decade.
A young woman in the prime of her life, throwing away a bright future to go to prison, and after more than a decade coming out, her life would pretty much be over.
"There's still hope, CPR, artificial respiration."
Suddenly a voice came, and Lu Mengyao was startled, yes, artificial respiration, and CPR, maybe there was still hope.
Before Liu Mang could completely pass away, Lu Mengyao quickly laid him down on the ground and had him lie flat.
Lu Mengyao crossed her hands and placed them on Liu Mang's chest, pressing down hard several times.
After pressing, Lu Mengyao took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and leaned toward Liu Mang.
Just as her bright red lips were about to touch Liu Mang, Lu Mengyao suddenly thought of something.
There were only two people in the room, her and Liu Mang. Who had spoken just now?
Staring intently at Liu Mang's face, Lu Mengyao noticed something bizarre.
This guy was supposed to be dead from her beating, but suddenly his eyes moved slightly and cracked open, squinting as he sneakily watched her.
All at once, Lu Mengyao realized everything, "Nice try, you filthy rogue, pretending to be dead to trick me into kissing you!"
In a furious rage, Lu Mengyao punched Liu Mang in the head, her fierce blow aiming straight for that hateful face.
Damn it, how did this beauty catch on, Liu Mang lamented his misfortune.
Just the thought that she had almost been tricked into losing her first kiss to a petty rogue made Lu Mengyao's eyes blaze with fiery anger as she glared at Liu Mang, "I'm going to kill you!"
