Chapter 24: Interrogation on the Table?

~7 min read 1,243 words

"You, stop spouting false accusations!"

Jiang Feng slammed the Table hard, his gaze so cold it could freeze.

He had originally wanted to cooperate with the investigation, but Shen Junyao's every accusation was unsupported by evidence, and anyone hearing them would get angry.

"Me, spouting false accusations?"

Shen Junyao also stood up, looking down at Jiang Feng from a height.

"If you're not a ghost, why don't you dare answer directly? Ye Xiaoyue says you wouldn't let go of her, the Su Family says you saved them, and now the assassin died in your hands; these coincidences pile up—how can I believe you're innocent?"

She concluded Jiang Feng was lying, even feeling his earlier composure was feigned; a little more pressure would make him slip.

"Coincidence?"

Jiang Feng scoffed, his gaze sweeping over the handcuffs on his wrist.

"Officer Shen, handling a case is about evidence, not your cousin's one‑sided words! If you have evidence you can arrest me now; if you don't, stop spouting nonsense here!"

"You still dare to talk back to me?"

Shen Junyao choked for a moment, her anger flaring, and reached out to grab Jiang Feng's arm.

"Seems I have to give you a taste of color, otherwise you won't be honest! I'm going to lock you up now on suspicion of obstructing official duties, and see if you still talk tough!"

But before her hand could touch Jiang Feng, she saw Jiang Feng's wrist snap with force.

"Crack!"

A crisp metal‑breaking sound rang in the Interrogation Room, and the handcuffs on Jiang Feng's hand snapped cleanly.

Shen Junyao, frightened, stepped back, eyes wide: "You... how did you break free?"

"Heaven above!"

These handcuffs are specially made; even trained people need tools to open them!

And Jiang Feng just snapped them?

After all these years of investigations, she had never seen anyone break handcuffs with bare hands; this defies all logic!

Jiang Feng gave no answer, his body suddenly lunged forward, speed like a gust of wind.

Shen Junyao hadn't reacted yet when Jiang Feng seized her wrist.

Her back slammed against the cold iron Table, pain making her gasp a cold breath.

"What are you doing? Let go of me!"

Shen Junyao, both startled and angry, struggled to push Jiang Feng away, but her strength was no match for him; the struggle only pressed her body closer.

The two were so close they could smell each other's scent, plus an indescribable, ambiguous aura.

Shen Junyao's cheeks flushed instantly, not from shame but from anger!

At her age, no one had ever dared treat her like this, especially in the Interrogation Room, pinned to the Table by a suspect!

"Let me go! Otherwise I'll shoot!"

Shen Junyao grew frantic, reaching with her other hand to her waist to draw her gun.

But as her fingers touched the gun grip, Jiang Feng pressed her wrist.

Jiang Feng looked down at her, his gaze carrying a hint of amusement.

"Shooting? Officer Shen, are you sure you want to fire in the Interrogation Room? If you accidentally wound yourself or scare others, would you still want to remain Chief of Major Cases Group?"

His voice was pressed low, with a hint of magnetism.

His breath swept over Shen Junyao's ear, instantly heating it.

Shen Junyao panicked more, struggling harder: "Stop talking nonsense! Let me go right now! Otherwise I'll have my colleagues come in and arrest you as an assault on a police officer!"

"Assault on a police officer?"

Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow, his other hand lightly patting her back, tone tinged with sarcasm.

"Officer Shen, didn't you just say you didn't believe I could handle those assassins? I'm just proving it to you now; if I really wanted to do something to you, do you think you'd still have a chance to call for help?"

Shen Junyao was choked silent, feeling both shame and anger, plus an inexplicable panic.

She could feel Jiang Feng's strength was great, yet he hadn't hurt her; even the pat on her back carried a flippant tone, making her feel uneasy all over.

"You... let me go! I know you can beat me!"

Shen Junyao's voice softened, tinged with grievance; at her age, she'd never been so embarrassed.

But Jiang Feng didn't let go; instead he watched her struggle, a smile curling his lips: "Now you're scared? When you falsely accused me earlier, why weren't you afraid I was the one being wronged?"

"I... it was a misunderstanding!"

Shen Junyao's eyes reddened from panic, struggling to kick Jiang Feng, but as soon as her foot lifted, Jiang Feng pressed down on her knee.

"Dare to move?"

Jiang Feng's hand moved down slightly, lightly patting her backside, the sound carrying a warning.

"If you move again, I won't be polite."

A light "pop" sounded, unusually clear in the quiet Interrogation Room.

Jiang Feng felt a strange flicker in his mind.

The feel of the hand seemed pleasant.

Shen Junyao's whole body froze, as if subjected to a Stasis Technique; her ears flushed to the base, and even her neck turned pink.

She was stunned for three seconds, then realized Jiang Feng had slapped her butt, and tears instantly welled up!

"Jiang Feng! You bastard!"

Shen Junyao was so angry she trembled all over, wanting to curse but not knowing what to say, so she glared fiercely at Jiang Feng, while the tears in her eyes helplessly fell down.

"This scoundrel, how could he hit her there!"

Jiang Feng saw she was truly frantic, and stopped teasing her, just about to release his grip.

Just then the Interrogation Room door creaked open, and a junior police officer holding a folder poked his head in: "Team Leader Shen, the assassin data you requested..."

The junior officer hadn't finished speaking when the scene before him shattered his worldview.

Jiang Feng stood at the table, one hand pressing Shen Junyao's wrist, the other hand resting on her waist; Shen Junyao was pinned to the table and seemed to be quite enjoying it?

The junior officer froze instantly, the folder in his hand clattered onto the Ground, his brain raced.

Team Leader Shen, is this… dating the suspect?

That's not right—didn't Team Leader Shen say he was going to interrogate him? How did it end up on the table?

Whoa! What a huge melon—can I eat it?

"Um… Team Leader Shen, I… I didn't see anything! You keep going! Keep going!"

The junior officer, frightened, quickly picked up the folder, retreating while waving his hands, his face flushed bright red.

"Sorry! I disturbed! I'll bring it Next Time!"

After speaking, he slammed the door shut with a bang, ran faster than a rabbit, fearing he'd delay Team Leader Shen's good time.

In the Interrogation Room, only Jiang Feng and Shen Junyao remained again.

Shen Junyao was so angry she wanted to shout at the junior officer to explain, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she found she couldn't speak.

Earlier, Jiang Feng, taking advantage of her daze, lightly tapped the Acupoint below her throat with his Fingers; now she can only emit a whimpering sound and cannot utter a single complete sentence.

"Don't waste effort."

Jiang Feng released his grip, looking at her sulky expression, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Now it's just the two of us, we can properly interrogate the case, Officer Shen…"

Shen Junyao stared in terror as Jiang Feng drew ever closer to her…
