Zhang Lin was so frightened and panicked that she quickly let go.
Her hand was still sticky, making her frantically shake it off.
"Beast, pervert, ahhh!"
Zhang Lin screamed, "Water, I need to wash my hands, get me some water now!"
Wu Xia took the opportunity to pull up his pants, sneered, and said, "If you curse at me again, I might just accuse you of sexual harassment. It was you who wanted to reach into my pants to search for something."
"Don't you know that what a man keeps in his pants is exactly this little guy?"
"Hahaha!"
Wu Xia's words immediately provoked a burst of hysterical laughter from the others, and Zhang Lin was so ashamed she wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground.
The other two police officers, who appeared to be Zhang Lin's suitors, immediately stepped forward to intervene, "Wu Xia, you're going a bit too far!"
"I've gone too far?" Wu Xia said coldly, "I warned her that it was inconvenient, but she didn't believe me and insisted on touching it. What could I do?"
"I remind you again to watch your attitude, or else I can report immediately to the town or city authorities that you entered a private residence without any orders, sexually harassing and insulting me!"
Such a domineering retort immediately made the others bow their heads and become compliant.
"We only want to take you back to the town to understand your situation with Chen Ergou!"
"Please accompany us back with Lin Jiao and cooperate with our investigation!"
Their attitude softened in an instant, and Li Wanshan even bowed his head, breathing heavily.
Zhang Lin hid in the back without speaking, her eyes flashing with venom: I can't deal with you here, but once you're in town, I'll make sure to deal with you properly!
"Why can't you ask here? Who knows if you'll abuse your power once you take us back."
Zhou Fang came out dressed and yelled at the top of her lungs.
Her good time was ruined, and she was uncomfortable; if she couldn't vent her frustration, she didn't know how many more pimples would appear on her face.
"Every citizen has the duty to cooperate with police investigations, and if you refuse to go, it just proves you have something to hide. Then, we can arrest you on the spot!"
Zhang Lin scolded sternly, hoping Wu Xia and the others would resist so she could have a legitimate reason to take them back.
Zhou Fang was also intimidated, stammering, not sure what to say.
Wu Xia pursed his lips; he knew there would be such consequences when he acted last night.
"Brother, Sister-in-law, it's okay, we haven't done anything wrong. Let's just cooperate with them, and even if they make unfounded accusations, they need evidence. At most, they can only detain us for twenty-four hours!"
Wu Xia walked over to the reeling Lin Jiao and steadied her, "Second sister-in-law, are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" Lin Jiao shook her head, her face even revealing a hint of joy.
Wu Xia thought he was seeing things, but then Lin Jiao asked in a low voice, "You and sister-in-law haven't done it yet, have you?"
While speaking, her gaze actually glanced at Wu Xia's crotch.
Boom!
Wu Xia shuddered all over.
He hadn't expected Lin Jiao to observe so closely, and the fact that she was actually pleased that he and the sister-in-law hadn't consummated their relationship.
"No whispering, no sharing information!" Zhang Lin scolded again, "I seriously suspect you're up to no good. Every word you say now will be recorded as testimony."
Startled, Lin Jiao quickly let go of Wu Xia.
Wu Xia consoled her, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, just tell the truth when the time comes."
After speaking, Wu Xia turned to Zhang Lin and others, "You'd best find evidence to prove my innocence, otherwise, with the way you're arbitrarily pinning charges on me, I can sue you!"
"As the rural doctor of Wujia Gully, I'm officially approved by the town, and I have a file and registration there, so don't try any tricks on me!"
Wu Xia certainly wasn't going to be intimidated by a mere few words and made his identity clear.
Zhang Lin, used to acting arrogantly and coercively, didn't care about Wu Xia at all, believing that once Wu Xia was brought to the town, it would be her turf, where she would have countless ways to deal with him.
She ordered people to separate Wu Xia and Lin Jiao. Two male officers took Wu Xia onto one car, while she, along with Lin Jiao and Li Wanshan, got into another.
From here to the town was about an hour and a half drive.
Wu Xia wasn't idle either; he searched his mind for ways to handle the situation.
Otherwise, to just tolerate it was not only uncomfortable but also quite awkward.
However, by the time they reached the town's police station, he still hadn't found any method.
Even worse, his lower body became even more firm, the entire area turning bright red and emitting tremendous heat, like a red-hot iron rod.
"Xia, are you alright?" Lin Jiao, getting out of the car, asked Wu Xia with a look of painful expression, full of concern.
"I'm fine!" Wu Xia suppressed the fiery turmoil within him. Right now, he just wanted to end this quickly and then find a woman to cultivate with, to release this pain.
Lin Jiao was very worried about Wu Xia and quickly said to Zhang Lin and the others, "He's sick and needs to go to the hospital for a check-up immediately. Send him to the hospital first!"
"Heh!" Zhang Lin scoffed, "A criminal, don't put on an act here. Take them inside."
Wu Xia's face turned steely, and with an icy glare at Zhang Lin, he warned, "You will pay for your actions today!"
"Debauchee, you're here now, still thinking of threatening me? You better worry about yourself first!"
Zhang Lin sneered, "I have a whole bunch of incriminating evidence against you in my hands. If you confess your crimes honestly, you might still receive leniency."
"Otherwise, heh! You'll have a hard time!"
Wu Xia couldn't be bothered to argue with Zhang Lin anymore. It was clear that she was targeting him, and talking more would be a waste of breath.
Zhang Lin, looking confident of her victory, took Wu Xia and Lin Jiao into the interrogation room.
She personally interrogated Wu Xia and started with a bang on the table.
"Wu Xia, you still don't admit your crimes, what are you waiting for?"
"What crimes?" Wu Xia scoffed as he looked at her.
If it weren't for the discomfort below, he would really like to toy with Zhang Lin.
"The crime of brutally killing Chen Ergou!" Zhang Lin barked, "You used drugs to bewitch Chen Ergou's men, making them follow your commands to flay and debone Chen Ergou in a gruesome crime!"
Wu Xia glanced at Zhang Lin, "Officer Zhang, I'm a doctor, not a wizard. Tell me, where in the world is there a drug that can control so many people to do whatever you want them to do?"
"Oh, I forgot, did they also tell you that they killed me and then I turned into a ghost to seek them out?"
"You're a young person of today's age, don't indulge in such superstitious nonsense, it's very serious!"
Slap!
Zhang Lin slammed the table fiercely and said in a dark tone, "Don't beat around the bush with me. We've already found your blood sample at the scene. How can you still say you weren't involved?"
"Now we have both testimony and physical evidence against you. What excuse can you make?"
