Chapter 23: The Unreasonable Woman

Jiang Feng's name has been heard often by Shen Junyao lately.

Because Shen Junyao's cousin is Ye Xiaoyue.

In Ye Xiaoyue's mouth, Jiang Feng is a shameless scoundrel.

So Shen Junyao has been looking for a chance to meet this Jiang Feng.

But it could be a namesake, so Shen Junyao tentatively asks, "Do you… know Ye Xiaoyue?"

Jiang Feng was startled for a moment, not expecting Shen Junyao to suddenly bring up Ye Xiaoyue, and nodded, "Know her."

So it really is him!

The politeness on Shen Junyao's face vanished instantly, her gaze turned cold, and her tone grew stiff.

"So it's you. Mr. Jiang, four international assassins have died, and you are the sole witness. According to procedure, you need to accompany me back to the City Defense Office to cooperate with the investigation and give a detailed police record."

At this moment, Shen Junyao's eyes looked at Jiang Feng.

It seemed as if Jiang Feng were not a hero who saved lives, but a suspect.

Su Ruiqing, seeing the situation was off, quickly stepped forward, his tone bearing a hint of the family head's authority.

"Officer Shen, Mr. Jiang is a victim and also a savior, can the police record be done tomorrow? He just finished fighting the assassins and hasn't rested, and Xue Yan is still lying upstairs, needing his care."

He thought that mentioning the Su Family's name would earn Shen Junyao some courtesy, after all the Su Family's standing in Jiangcheng is well known.

But Shen Junyao didn't buy it, speaking neither humble nor arrogant, "Su Lao, I understand your feelings, but this is procedure."

"Four international assassins dead, the case is serious; the police record must be taken promptly to preserve evidence. Moreover, Mr. Jiang is only cooperating to confirm the scene, I hope you cooperate."

Her tone was firm, with no concession.

After all, even the Su Family cannot interfere with the City Defense Office's work.

Jiang Feng also saw at this moment Shen Junyao's hostility toward him, and that it was most likely provoked by Ye Xiaoyue.

He didn't argue, gesturing to Su Ruiqing, "Su Lao, it's fine. I'll go back with Officer Shen, cooperating with the investigation is proper, and I'll be back soon. You go up first to look after Xue Yan, don't let her worry."

Su Ruiqing wanted to say more, but Jiang Feng had already walked toward the door with Shen Junyao, so he could only sigh helplessly, rush upstairs to check on Xue Yan.

"Let's go."

Shen Junyao waved, two police officers—one holding the assassin, the other following Jiang Feng—left the Su Family.

Two police cars were parked at the entrance; Shen Junyao opened the rear door and said coldly, "Get in."

Jiang Feng bent and sat down; just as the door closed, Shen Junyao sat beside him, her tone full of sarcasm.

"Jiang Feng, your skill is quite something, getting the Su Family head to protect you so much; those who don't know would think you gave the Su Family some mind‑altering soup."

Even now she doesn't believe that the waste described by Ye Xiaoyue is the Jiang Feng before her, but she also refuses to believe Jiang Feng could subdue five international assassins alone.

It must have been the Su Family's bodyguards who struck first; Jiang Feng just took advantage and now pretends to be a hero.

She wouldn't call such a person hateful, but certainly couldn't say she liked him.

So at this moment she shows him no good expression.

Jiang Feng leaned against the chair back, glanced at her, "Whether I have ability is none of your business. As for you, being Chief of Major Cases Group, you didn't first investigate the scene or question the witness, yet you form a bias against me based on someone's one‑sided words. How do you police? No brain?"

He is most annoyed by people who judge without distinguishing right from wrong.

"Who are you saying has no brain?"

Shen Junyao exploded instantly, her hand slamming onto the side of the sidearm at her waist, her gaze blazing as if to spew fire.

"Jiang Feng, stop being shameless! I warn you, when we get to the City Defense Office, tell the truth honestly, don't play tricks! Otherwise I'll charge you with obstructing official duties!"

The police officer driving, hearing the commotion behind, was so frightened his hands trembled and he quickly said, "Team Leader Shen, calm down, we're still driving…"

Of course, the officer also felt sympathy for Jiang Feng.

Crossing Shen Baolong, this kid is in for trouble!

Shen Junyao, hearing her subordinate's words, inhaled deeply, then slowly released her hand from the gun, but still glared at Jiang Feng viciously.

"You wait! When we get to the office, I'll see how you keep up that tough talk!"

Jiang Feng ignored her, closed his eyes and pretended to nap.

Arguing with this big‑brother‑type brainless woman is a pure waste of time.

The police car soon arrived at the Jiangcheng City Defense Office; Shen Junyao led Jiang Feng inside, and the officers they passed along the way secretly sized up Jiang Feng, whispering to each other.

"Is that the person Team Leader Shen brought back? He looks pretty ordinary, why did Team Leader Shen get so angry?"

"You don't know, right? Just now at the Su Family Villa, it's said four international assassins died, and Team Leader Shen says this person did it. Do you believe it?"

Jiang Feng listened to the chatter, expressionless, and followed Shen Junyao into an interrogation room.

The interrogation room was small, with an iron table in the middle and a chair on each side.

On the wall hung a sign reading "Confession gets leniency, resistance gets severity," the light was pallid, making people's hearts uneasy.

Shen Junyao walked to the back of the table, sat down, took a pair of handcuffs from the drawer, slapped them onto the table with a "clack," and coldly said to Jiang Feng, "Sit down, put your hands out."

Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow, "Officer Shen, I'm a cooperating witness, not a suspect. Why are you handcuffing me?"

"Whether I'm a suspect, you'll have to wait until I finish asking!"

Shen Junyao's tone was firm.

"I suspect you colluded with the assassins and deliberately fabricated the scene! Now be honest, put your hands out, or I'll arrest you for obstructing official duties!"

She was convinced Jiang Feng was lying, thinking he was either in league with the assassins or seizing credit amid the chaos, and now needed the handcuffs to intimidate him into telling the truth.

Jiang Feng looked at her unreasonable demeanor, feeling a bit helpless.

How many lies did Ye Xiaoyue tell her to make her target him like this?

He didn't resist, slowly extending both hands, "Fine, I cooperate. But Officer Shen, I hope after you finish questioning you can give me a reasonable explanation why a rescuer is being handcuffed."

Shen Junyao said nothing, picked up the handcuffs and cuffed Jiang Feng's wrists.

She placed the pen and notebook on the table, turned on the recorder, and in a serious tone said, "Name."

"Jiang Feng."

"Age."

"Twenty-two."

"Occupation."

"Unemployed, just came down from the Mountain."

Officer Shen heard the words "unemployed," and the mockery in her eyes deepened.

"One unemployed drifter can take on five international assassins alone? Don't tell me you trained up on the Mountain—I don't believe it!"

She thought Jiang Feng was certainly lying.

How could an unemployed drifter have such skill? He must be a thug for some gang, colluding with the Su Family, and deliberately staged this act.

Jiang Feng looked at her prejudiced expression, sighed, and said, "Officer Shen, Su Family Villa has surveillance; check the footage and the situation will be clear at a glance."

"I want you to explain yourself!"

Officer Shen slammed the Table.

"I ask you, is it because Ye Xiaoyue didn't fulfill the marriage contract with you that you deliberately took revenge on the Ye Family, and even teamed up with the Su Family to oppress the Ye Family? Is the assassin This Time one you summoned, trying to frame the Zhao Family or the Black Gold Society?"
