Chapter 348: Chapter 348 Are You Trying to Kill Me?

Director Geng of the police bureau forced a dry laugh on his Buddha-like face. He glanced at the young man beside Zhao Ding and tried to smile, "Let’s talk this over calmly. Chen Dashan is a well-known figure in our Furong County. We shouldn’t run off."

"Don’t you agree?"

"Hmph!"

The young man snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "What’s Furong County to me?"

"You might get away with things in Furong County, but not here with me!"

With that, Zhang Zhen stepped forward, looking at Chen Dashan with contempt. "Do you know who I am?" he asked arrogantly.

Seeing Chen Dashan sneer without replying, Zhang Zhen continued, "I am the captain of Wu’an Bureau in Hengshui City. I came to Furong County for your matter. Black Wolf has mysteriously disappeared. As a heavy offender, he is extremely dangerous to society. We suspect that his disappearance is related to you. Under the order from Director Zhang, Chen Dashan, you need to come with us."

"I’ve always been in Furong County. I had no opportunity to commit a crime, and besides, I’ve got a grudge against Black Wolf. I had no motive to release him," Chen Dashan argued.

"Isn’t it better to keep him locked up for trial? Why would I let him out?"

Zhang Zhen’s face darkened. He didn’t expect this country bumpkin Chen Dashan to dare to talk back.

The atmosphere in the hall grew serious.

No one spoke. A group of employees closely watched the few in the center, praying that Chen Dashan would escape danger.

Someone whispered, "I can testify that President Chen has been at the company these past few days."

"Yes, President Chen hasn’t gone out at all."

"It couldn’t be President Chen who released him, could it? Besides, can our President Chen even get into the Wu’an Bureau? Given the missing person, the biggest suspicion lies with you, doesn’t it?"

The voices of doubt rose and fell, turning Zhang Zhen’s face as black as the bottom of a pot.

Director Geng was even more conflicted, with a pained expression on his face. Zhao Ding, on the other hand, stared at Chen Dashan with a glint of amusement. As the saying goes, a higher-ranking official can oppress you to death. If Zhang Zhen wanted Chen Dashan to go to Hengshui City for investigation, Chen Dashan had no choice but to go.

"Tap tap tap..." The clear, urgent sound of high heels echoed as Zhao Leyao rushed over.

"Dashan..." Zhao Leyao’s anxious face appeared as she stood next to Chen Dashan. Her almond-shaped eyes scanned the police officers, finally stopping on Zhao Ding. Her face turned cold as she said, "Everyone is right. Chen Dashan is innocent. If you want to take him, show me convincing evidence first."

Seeing his daughter defending his sworn enemy, Zhao Ding gritted his teeth in anger.

He shouted, "How do you know he’s innocent? Chen Dashan is quite skilled. The journey to Hengshui City is only two hours’ drive. What’s impossible about that? Even if he has an alibi for the day, what about the night?"

Zhao Ding looked smugly at Chen Dashan.

In this fight, Chen Dashan was still too inexperienced.

Chen Dashan gave Zhao Ding a provoking look and then wrapped his large hand around Zhao Leyao’s slender waist, pulling her close. His fingers mockingly gestured at Zhao Ding, who almost burst a blood vessel in anger and started to speak again.

Zhao Leyao, with a stern face, said, "I can testify for the night as well. We were together at night." To prove their close relationship, Zhao Leyao pressed even closer to Chen Dashan.

With those words, all eyes turned to Zhao Ding. At that moment, Zhao Ding felt as if he was struck by lightning. Even Zhang Zhen’s face turned pale as he glared at Zhao Ding.

If Zhao Leyao hadn’t been engaged to Director Zhang, who would travel all the way to Furong County to help Zhao Ding?

Now, it was worse. Director Zhang’s fiancée openly admitted that she spent the night with another man. Zhang Zhen could almost see a bright, glowing green hat on Director Zhang’s head.

"Enough!" Zhang Zhen shouted angrily and waved at the police officers, "No more nonsense. I said take him away, just a simple investigation, not because he’s a suspect. Take him!"

The police officers moved forward.

Zhao Leyao shouted nervously, "What are you doing?"

If Chen Dashan were taken by Wu’an Bureau, he would be at their mercy. Director Zhang and Zhao Ding could do anything to him.

"Even if your Director Zhang comes personally today, I won’t go with you," Chen Dashan said coldly, his demeanor changing as he glared at Zhang Zhen.

Both sides were at a standstill.

Director Geng pulled at Zhang Zhen’s sleeve and said hesitantly, "Captain Zhang, Chen Dashan has close ties with County Magistrate Zhu. Let’s not make this too ugly..."

"County Magistrate Zhu can’t control me," Zhang Zhen sneered.

Just then, a firm female voice rang out from behind, full of vigor and authority: "County Magistrate Zhu can’t control you, but the law of Dragon Country can. None of you will take Chen Dashan away today."

Everyone turned to see a tall, uniformed policewoman walking over briskly, exuding a powerful aura.

Zhang Zhen sized her up and saw the emblem on her shoulder indicated she was just an intern, yet she dared act so arrogantly before him.

Just as he was about to lose his temper, his sleeve tightened. Zhang Zhen looked down to see Director Geng whispering something in his ear that no one else heard. Zhang Zhen’s pupils contracted in reverence, and he looked at Sun Aoxue with newfound respect. As she approached, he immediately stepped aside.

"Chen Dashan, you are accused of a homicide. Apart from me, no one can take you away today," Sun Aoxue said as she stepped forward and skillfully pulled out a pair of silver handcuffs.

"Without evidence, isn’t this insulting?" Zhao Leyao stopped her, and Sun Aoxue’s gaze lingered on her face for a moment before she smiled and said, "Fine, I’ll find the evidence to satisfy you, and let you see clearly the real person in front of you."

"Let’s go!"

With that, Sun Aoxue glanced at Chen Dashan and strode out of the crowd.

Watching the mighty young woman, her graceful figure reminded him of the beautiful scene when she almost drowned, Chen Dashan couldn’t help but smile slightly. Sun Aoxue clearly had significant backing, as even the head of Wu’an Bureau didn’t dare speak in her presence. Better to follow her than fall into Zhao Ding’s hands.

Thinking of this, Chen Dashan walked with a spring in his step. "Wait for me!"

He hurried after Sun Aoxue, not forgetting to give Zhao Ding a provoking look. Zhao Ding stood there in a daze, almost exploding with anger. He looked at Zhang Zhen, "Are you just going to let this brat go? Captain Zhang, let’s chase him!"

Zhang Zhen rolled his eyes at Zhao Ding, "Are you trying to get me killed?"

"Do you know who that girl was?"

"Let’s go!"

Zhang Zhen said, leaving Chen’s Construction Company with an ugly expression. Director Geng immediately sighed in relief, and a small police officer next to him asked, "Boss, should we report to County Magistrate Zhu?"

...

Chen Dashan got into a police car with Sun Aoxue.

"You’d better behave!"

"What are you doing?"
