Hearing this, the police officers' expressions turned awkward. They had personally witnessed the terrible injuries of Liu Fu and the other two victims. Half of their teeth had been knocked out, their jaws were dislocated, and a large portion of their bones were fractured.
One of the officers snorted, "We are well aware of how much force is behind a slap. The victims said you beat them with an iron rod, and that matches the severity of their injuries."
Ye Fengwu coldly snorted, "So, they reported that I tried to murder them?"
The officer standing in front of Ye Fengwu sternly said, "The evidence is clear. I advise you to cooperate with us."
However, when he saw the two officers struggling to move Ye Fengwu's arms behind his back without success, the officer's anger grew. He placed his hand on the weapon at his waist.
"This is your first warning. Cooperate with our investigation."
Ye Fengwu's face gradually grew colder as he observed the officer's hand on his weapon. He knew the officer's authority — after three warnings, pepper spray and electric batons would come into play, regardless of age or condition. This was his backup.
Ye Fengwu coldly said, "I advise you not to do that."
As he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly. Instantly, the police officers felt a chill down their spines, sensing the dangerous aura emanating from him.
Seeing this, the officer, no longer caring about the procedure, immediately drew his gun and pointed it at Ye Fengwu, shouting, "Don't move! If you resist, I have the right to shoot you."
Upon seeing the officer draw his gun, Ye Fengwu's coldness deepened.
"Stop!"
At that moment, a loud command rang out from behind the armed officer, followed by the sound of a car door opening. A stunning female police officer in uniform stepped out.
Ye Fengwu glanced at her and was momentarily stunned. The female officer had short, neat hair and stood at 1.7 meters tall, with long legs that were round and straight. Her uniform stretched tightly over her chest, making it clear that she had a body that could drive any man wild.
She had a slightly plump, yet not quite plump, physique. Her waist was incredibly slim, and her curves were exaggerated, something that only someone who regularly worked out could achieve. Her face was strikingly beautiful, with no makeup, giving her a clean, elegant appearance.
Her arrival made the officer with the gun shrink back, seemingly unwilling to provoke this fiery woman, who exuded both an intense temperament and a captivating figure.
The female officer approached Ye Fengwu and frowned as she said, "We're from Haihua City's Criminal Investigation Unit. I'm Lieutenant Chen Nan. You are suspected of attempted murder. Please cooperate with our investigation."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fengwu finally relaxed his cold gaze and said lightly, "Since it's just a suspicion, there's no need for handcuffs, right?"
As he spoke, Ye Fengwu glanced at the two officers beside him, who were red-faced and sweating from their failed attempts to restrain him.
Chen Nan looked at the two officers and said, "No need for all that. Just handcuff him."
The two officers sighed in relief and quickly took out the handcuffs, securing them on Ye Fengwu. Ye Fengwu didn't resist.
Still, Ye Fengwu spoke up, "Can I at least call my wife and tell her I won't make it for lunch? Ask her to prepare dinner for me."
Chen Nan raised an eyebrow and coldly replied, "Whether you're guilty of murder or not, you'll be facing years in prison. Forget about dinner."
As she spoke, the two officers began pulling Ye Fengwu toward the police car.
At that moment, a low-spec Chevrolet drove up, and a flustered Qin Qinghan hurriedly got out of the car.
Seeing Qin Qinghan, Chen Nan's beautiful face became somewhat conflicted.
Qin Qinghan quickly noticed the handcuffs on Ye Fengwu and immediately understood what had happened.
She walked up to Chen Nan and said, "Chen Nan, could you… speak on his behalf?"
Chen Nan looked troubled and sighed, "Qinghan, he did hit people. Those three victims came to the station and are accusing him of attempted murder."
Hearing this, Qin Qinghan's face changed, and she urgently said, "How could it be attempted murder? He only… he only lost control and hit them! At most, it should just be an assault charge!"
Chen Nan frowned and said, "Don't worry. I'll investigate thoroughly. Come with me. I need to ask you something."
With that, Chen Nan pulled Qin Qinghan to a nearby spot, seemingly to discuss something privately.
Seeing this, Ye Fengwu was a little surprised and turned to the two officers beside him with a smirk, saying, "You see that? My wife knows your boss."
The officers' faces turned unnatural, and one of them snorted, "That doesn't change anything. Our boss is known for being impartial. He would never let personal feelings interfere with his decisions."
What Ye Fengwu didn't know was that Chen Nan and Qin Qinghan had been high school classmates. Chen Nan was the only person who had never criticized Qin Qinghan, and in fact, often helped her.
After pulling Qin Qinghan aside, Chen Nan shot a wary glance at Ye Fengwu before asking, "Qinghan, when did you get married? How come I didn't know?"
Qin Qinghan's face showed a bitter expression as she replied, "It's a long story. It was all arranged by my grandfather."
At this, Chen Nan's expression turned dark, and she snorted, "Typical of the Qin family. They don't treat you like a person. Do you even know who this man is? What was his past?"
Qin Qinghan's face grew even more bitter. She didn't really know much about Ye Fengwu, and to be honest, she didn't want to know about him either. But the truth was, over the past couple of days, he had helped her.
She shook her head in despair, saying, "I've heard… he's a recently released sex offender. If possible, can you help me check his background?"
"A sex offender…" Chen Nan's tone rose as she looked at Qin Qinghan, her voice full of disbelief. She then said, gritting her teeth, "Are you crazy? Your whole life will be ruined if you marry a sex offender! How could you marry him?"
Qin Qinghan's face was full of self-mockery as she replied, "Since I was sixteen, my life hasn't been under my control. At least… for now, he treats Jing Si well."
Chen Nan's brows furrowed deeply. She pursed her lips and said, "I'll help you check his background. If he really is a sex offender, leave him as soon as possible. And as for those three victims, they suffered serious injuries. Even if it's not murder, he'll at least get five to six years."
Hearing this, Qin Qinghan's eyes showed clear hesitation. She grabbed Chen Nan's hand and pleaded, "I… I know you don't like this man, but… he hit them because of Jing Si."
Qin Qinghan then told Chen Nan about how Jing Si had been bullied outside the school gate and shared how Liu Fu had repeatedly tried to threaten her. Qin Qinghan even suspected that Liu Fu had maliciously spread rumors about her in school.
"That bastard! He should have killed him! That would have solved the problem!" Chen Nan cursed through gritted teeth.
After a long pause, Chen Nan shook her head and looked directly into Qin Qinghan's eyes, saying, "Qinghan, I know you. I know you don't like him. You've always hated sex offenders. Even if he's treating you well now, it's only because he wants something from you. Once he gets what he wants, do you think he'll still treat you like this?"
With that, Chen Nan turned and walked toward the police car.
The two officers were dragging Ye Fengwu toward the police car. As he turned around, Ye Fengwu called out to Qin Qinghan, "Wife, I'll be back before dinner. Make sure to cook something good for me."
Looking at Ye Fengwu's unbothered face, Qin Qinghan felt mixed emotions. She didn't like Ye Fengwu because he was a sex offender. But, he had hit those men for Jing Si. So, Qin Qinghan didn't want him to end up in prison.
In the interrogation room at the police station, Ye Fengwu's hands were cuffed to the table, and across from him were two empty chairs.
In the office, Chen Nan handed a file to a male officer, saying, "Get his full background checked, down to his ancestors and even where his grave is. I want to know everything."
The male officer shuddered, not knowing why this fiery female officer was so determined to dig into this case.
