Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Puppy Chen Wei?

Public Security Bureau Detention Center.

Chen Wei had been brought into the interrogation room by Tang Qing, who held a pen firmly in hand and fixed her gaze on the paper on the desk, asking, "Name."

"Chen Wei."

"Age."

"Haven’t all these questions already been asked? That person beside you just did," Chen Wei felt it unnecessary to repeat himself.

"In here, when I ask you something, you answer!" Tang Qing looked up and gave Chen Wei a stern glance.

Maintaining authority during an interrogation without letting the other party gain the upper hand was crucial; the power had to be with the interrogator. This was the experience Tang Qing had learned.

"Fine, then continue asking," Chen Wei responded.

"Last..." but before she could finish, Tang Qing paused, then corrected herself, "Occupation."

"Many. Lyricist, composer, doctor, investor..."

"Stop!" Chen Wei was cut off mid-sentence by Tang Qing raising her hand, "I’m not asking about those. What I’m asking you is whether you have any shady occupations."

Meeting her suggestive gaze, Chen Wei didn’t panic at all but remained quite calm, "What do you mean by that?"

"I’m thinking that an average person wouldn’t have that kind of enemy coming after them, right?" Tang Qing hinted at something deeper with her words.

"Someone sent an assassin after me, shouldn’t you be finding the person who hired the killer and bring them to justice? I am the victim here. Your attempt to set a trap for me to fall into is truly against common sense."

These little tricks of Tang Qing’s were nowhere near impressive enough to flaunt in front of Chen Wei.

"Whether you’re a victim or not is not for you to say, the evidence will tell!" Tang Qing emphasized.

"Then please go find the evidence quickly. I’ve already said all I should. So now, may I leave?" Chen Wei asked.

"Are you sure you won’t come clean? If you confess now, perhaps I can argue for leniency on your behalf."

Bang!

Tang Qing slammed her hands on the desk, attempting to add psychological pressure on Chen Wei, "On the contrary, if you don’t talk now, when we investigate and find out later, you will face even more serious consequences!"

This sudden action didn’t scare Chen Wei, but it sure startled the junior officer sitting in on the session.

"Seeing as you’re so dedicated to your duty, I’ll kindly remind you of something. Letting me go now wouldn’t be bad for you," Chen Wei said, maintaining a composed demeanor throughout, unaffected by Tang Qing’s dramatics.

This made Tang Qing feel quite defeated. Usually, when she interrogated suspects, they would be shaking with fear, but Chen Wei was extraordinarily composed. Could it be that she had really wronged him?

What kind of simple character could have top assassins after them?

And then there was the earlier pop-up alert saying "No permission."

Tang Qing was eager to know what exactly Chen Wei was hiding.

But she had no evidence and couldn’t detain Chen Wei.

If this guy were some heinous criminal who had finally been caught, and they let him back into the wild, wouldn’t he be a disaster for society?

Knock, knock, knock.

A knocking at the door suddenly sounded.

"Come in."

A female officer opened the door to the interrogation room, "Uhm, Sister Qing, Director Xu has ordered you to release the detainee immediately and visit his office."

"Why release him? I’m still in the middle of an interrogation," Tang Qing asked, not understanding.

"Director Xu also said that if you don’t comply, you should be prepared to accept punishment," the female officer added.

"..." Hearing the word "punishment," Tang Qing begrudgingly complied, her face filled with reluctance as she unfastened Chen Wei’s restraints, "Leave!"

"A wise decision," Chen Wei said with a faint smile, not lingering.

Watching Chen Wei’s smug departure, Tang Qing pursed her lips and left the interrogation room to head to Xu Feng’s office.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Come in!" Hearing the stern voice from behind the door, Tang Qing couldn’t help but feel that serious trouble was indeed looming over her.

He opened the door and walked in, Tang Qing looked around with a guilty conscience, thinking he hadn’t done anything wrong recently, "Director Xu, you wanted to see me?"

"Tang Qing! You’ve really got some nerve, arresting just anyone and bringing them to the station!" Xu Feng slammed the desk with force.

Startled, Tang Qing trembled, "Director Xu, I haven’t been arresting people indiscriminately."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Haven’t been arresting people indiscriminately? Do you have any idea who you just arrested?" Seeing Tang Qing still oblivious to the seriousness of the situation, Xu Feng could hardly contain his anger, repeatedly hitting the desk surface.

"Who, who is it?" Tang Qing truly didn’t know.

"He is Guan..."

Guan?

Xu Feng, halting mid-sentence, realized something and immediately clamped his mouth shut, swallowing back his words, "Forget it! It’s useless telling you these things, go back and write a two-thousand-word self-criticism!"

"Yes..." Tang Qing’s face was full of grievance.

But she didn’t dare to say anything more; it was the first time she had seen Director Xu so angry.

Who exactly was that guy?

He is Guan? Guan what?

Shutting the door on a dog?

"Go, go, go, hurry up and leave, don’t annoy me here!" Xu Feng waved his hand, ushering Tang Qing out.

"Okay, goodbye Director Xu." Tang Qing couldn’t wait to leave, scurrying away swiftly as if on greased lightning.

...

On the second floor.

Tang Qing leaned against the window, sighing heavily.

But she happened to see Chen Wei walk out of the front gate.

Heading towards a camouflaged off-road vehicle.

The license plate number was... 00009!

Even if Tang Qing didn’t know much about cars, she knew that whoever had that kind of license plate number was either rich or noble!

It seemed as if the woman saw Chen Wei coming, the driver side door opened, and from the vehicle stepped a woman wearing sunglasses, accompanied by black short hair, a leather jacket, and even Tang Qing, a woman herself, found her incredibly cool.

Then, the woman took off her sunglasses, and the moment she revealed her entire face, Tang Qing nearly dropped her jaw, "Guan, War God Guan!"

The first woman in Great Xia, and the only one, to be honored with the title of War God! A female hero who did not concede to men! She had slain tens of thousands on the Northern Desert border! Leaving corpses for a thousand miles!

Why would such a big shot show up in River City?

Tang Qing really wanted to find some paper and a pen to get Guan Shanyue’s autograph.

But what followed left her dumbstruck.

Guan Shanyue actually hugged Chen Wei, even gently stroking his head, just like a big sister next door comforting her injured little brother, as gentle as can be.

Wait a second!

Tang Qing’s mind suddenly recalled what Director Xu had said earlier.

He is related to... War God Guan’s man!

"Could he be her boyfriend?"

"If that really is the case, then everything makes sense. Someone as strong as War God Guan would naturally need a somewhat weaker man beside her for balance. Those guys must have wanted to kidnap that pretty boy to threaten War God Guan."

"As War God Guan’s man, it’s normal for him to know some fighting skills. It’s just that those two hitmen were too weak, trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice!"

Tang Qing nodded in agreement, grunting, and she settled on that conclusion just like that.

Illogical? Quite the opposite.

Take Tang Qing, for example. She herself felt her personality was like half a man’s, very assertive. She wouldn’t want a man more assertive than herself; a soft, weak little puppy would be so adorable!
