The male officer typed quickly on the computer keyboard, and soon all of Ye Fengwu's information appeared on the screen.
However, the male officer's expression turned strange. He pointed at the screen and said to Chen Nan, "Officer Chen, something's wrong. Look at this."
Upon seeing this, Chen Nan frowned, because the information was just a few short lines: he had been imprisoned for a rape charge in a certain year and month, followed by his release time, which was just a few days ago.
But all other details were completely blank, which made Chen Nan's face gradually grow serious.
"What's going on? Is the system infected with a virus? How can someone's identity be this simple? Did he just pop out of nowhere?" Chen Nan shot a glare at the male officer.
The male officer was equally confused, then said, "Officer Chen, there are only two possibilities for this situation. One is that he's an illegal resident, and the other is that our police department doesn't have permission to access his information."
Chen Nan snorted, "No permission? For a rapist? You must be overestimating this guy. Forget about it. Don't bother looking further."
Chen Nan, of course, didn't believe that Ye Fengwu's information was some top-secret data, so she assumed he was an illegal resident.
At this moment, Ye Fengwu was still sitting alone in the interrogation room. Suddenly, the door was slammed open, and in walked the fiery, attractive female officer.
"I've figured out what happened. You definitely can't be charged with murder, but intentional injury is a fact, so you're facing at least five or six years in prison," Chen Nan said coldly, sitting down in front of Ye Fengwu.
Although Chen Nan didn't know Ye Fengwu well, she was aware that he was a rapist, and since he was approaching Qin Qinghan, it must have been because he was interested in her beauty. People like him would eventually torment Qin Qinghan.
After hearing Chen Nan's words, Ye Fengwu remained calm and replied, "It's up to you. But please hurry up and let me go. My wife is waiting for me to have dinner."
Chen Nan was furious and sneered, "Are you out of your mind? You're not going home."
Then, Chen Nan looked at Ye Fengwu seriously and asked, "Let me ask you a few questions. You're a rapist who just got out of prison. Why are you approaching Qinghan? What's your real motive?"
Ye Fengwu replied indifferently, "Officer, this has nothing to do with the case, right?"
"What Officer? My name is Chen," Chen Nan snapped coldly.
Ye Fengwu looked at her chest and said, "I'm still used to calling you 'Officer Chen.'"
Seeing Ye Fengwu's gaze, Chen Nan's anger reached its peak. She slammed the table and stood up. "How dare you flirt with me? Let me tell you, you'd better answer my questions. Don't think I don't know. You're only approaching Qinghan because you're after her beauty. I suggest you give up now, or I'll make sure you spend your life in prison."
Ye Fengwu casually replied, "Officer Chen, am I sitting in prison because I like my wife, or because I beat someone?"
"Don't give me that smooth talk. You're facing intentional injury charges for three people. You'll be in prison for at least five or six years," Chen Nan retorted angrily.
Ye Fengwu sighed dramatically, "I can't do that. My wife and I planned to go register our marriage today."
Upon hearing this, Chen Nan was momentarily stunned, then smiled coldly, "So you haven't registered your marriage yet. Well then, it's a good thing. Forget about it."
With that, Chen Nan turned to leave the interrogation room.
"That might not be possible," Ye Fengwu said.
"What did you say?" Chen Nan turned back and looked at him.
Ye Fengwu sighed, "Someone doesn't want me to go to prison. I have powerful backing."
Upon hearing this, Chen Nan mocked, "Under my watch, no one's background matters. You can forget about being released. You'll be going to prison."
Although Qin Qinghan had been begging Chen Nan to intercede for Ye Fengwu, Chen Nan had her own plans. Qin Qinghan was her best friend.
Eight years ago, Qin Qinghan had been raped, and since then, Chen Nan swore to become a police officer who punishes evil and promotes good. Now, seeing Qin Qinghan entangled with another rapist, how could she just stand by and watch her fall into a trap?
So, she was determined to be impartial and fair when handling Ye Fengwu's case.
At that moment, a police officer came in and said to Chen Nan, "Officer Chen, someone has vouched for him. The director says to release him."
Hearing this, Chen Nan's face immediately turned pale. Could it be that this guy really has powerful backing?
However, she clenched her teeth and said, "Even the King of Hell can't protect him. Who vouched for him?"
"Your father..." the male officer casually replied.
"What did you say?" Chen Nan's eyes widened, her beautiful face flushed with anger.
The male officer quickly shrank his neck and hurriedly explained, "Officer Chen, it really was your father who called."
Chen Nan's face darkened. This officer didn't dare joke about her father because he was the highest-ranking officer in the Sea Hua City Police Department.
However, she was both surprised and confused—her father was always fair and impartial, so why would he vouch for a rapist?
Unable to believe it, Chen Nan immediately called her father.
"Naner, what wind blew your call to my phone?"
A man's voice, firm yet full of affection, soon came through the phone.
Chen Nan didn't waste any time and asked, "I'm handling a case of intentional injury, and I heard you've vouched for this person?"
On the other end of the line, her father laughed and said, "If the person's name is Ye Fengwu, then yes. Let him go, someone's waiting to have tea with him."
Hearing this, Chen Nan became even angrier and pressed, "You, the famous incorruptible, how could you suddenly do something so biased? Do you even know this person? He's a rapist who just got out of prison, and now he's trying to harm my good friend! I can't let him go!"
The tone of her father's voice grew serious. "Naner, don't make a fuss. Let him go. He has powerful backing."
Chen Nan clenched her lips and said angrily, "I'm not letting him go. Who's backing him? Even you had to step in."
"Your grandfather, is that enough for you?" Her father sighed deeply.
Upon hearing this, Chen Nan's beautiful eyes widened in shock, and after a long pause, she finally whispered, "My... my grandfather? How could he..."
"Naner, your grandfather is right here. Do you want him to hear how you secretly call him 'that old man'?" her father's voice became playful.
"Fine, I'll let him go," Chen Nan said, her tone as cold as frost, quickly hanging up the phone.
After hanging up, Chen Nan's mood shifted dramatically, and she looked at Ye Fengwu with a complicated expression. This bastard, even her grandfather was helping him. Could he really be a rapist?
She couldn't help but think back to what the male officer had said: this person was either an illegal resident, or his identity was a secret.
Looking at Ye Fengwu, he also gave her a playful look.
"Looks like the iron-faced, incorruptible officer has to deal with this based on personal favors this time," Ye Fengwu mocked with a smile.
Hearing this, Chen Nan gritted her teeth in frustration and retorted, "You wait, I'll find out everything about you sooner or later."
Then, she glared at the officer who had just entered and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Let him go!"
Seeing that the furious officer was about to explode, the male officer dared not hesitate. He rushed to unlock the handcuffs from Ye Fengwu.
However, just as the male officer pulled out the key, Ye Fengwu had already stood up and slipped the handcuffs off.
"No need. I'm busy. Goodbye."
Ye Fengwu placed the handcuffs on the table and walked past the surprised and enraged Chen Nan, who didn't even see how he had removed the handcuffs.
"This bastard," Chen Nan cursed under her breath and immediately dialed a number on her phone.
At this moment, Qin Qinghan was sitting alone on the bed in her bedroom, her delicate face covered with tears, mixed with a deep sense of confusion.
Little Jing Si was curled up in Qin Qinghan's arms. She didn't go to school today because her mother had promised to change her to a better school, one where no one would bully her.
But the worried expression on her mother's face told her that this hope might not be realized.
Today, Qin Qinghan had lost her job, and the promise she made to Jing Si could not be kept. She was even facing the crisis of being unable to repay the mortgage.
Now, that man was facing prison, and although Qin Qinghan remained wary of him, at least he had helped her these past few days, which made her emotions more complicated.
Unconsciously, she began to feel a strange sensation deep within her heart—without Ye Fengwu, she would feel insecure. She didn't understand when she had started to rely on him.
