Chapter 214: Do you think I'm someone who cares about face?

Lin Niansheng, in a daze, seemed to see Zhou Wanting's silhouette.

His mind was in utter chaos.

For a long time he couldn't snap out of that state.

Liu Yanxi immediately tapped the table.

Thump thump thump.

The sound actually overlapped with the knocking on the door.

She turned her head and asked, "Who?"

"Liu Team, the two witnesses have arrived!"

A colleague's voice came from outside the door.

Liu Yanxi glanced at the still dazed Lin Niansheng, got up, and opened the door.

Immediately after, Li Qinglan walked in with a buzz cut.

Shortly after, Li Jiaci also entered the interrogation room.

Lin Niansheng saw the two; his vacant eyes suddenly focused, and his emotions became unusually agitated.

He jumped up, pointing at Li Qinglan and stammering, "You, you you aren't crazy, are you?"

Li Qinglan glared at him, the anger in her eyes ready to erupt at any moment.

But now was not the time to erupt.

"I've undergone treatment for a period, and my mind is now back to normal!"

Li Qinglan suppressed her hatred and said coldly.

Following Liu Yanxi's instruction, she sat opposite Lin Niansheng.

Li Jiaci stood aside, covering his nose with a disgusted expression, asking, "Liu Team, what smell is in this interrogation room? Why is it so foul?"

"Yes..."

Liu Yanxi glanced askance at Lin Niansheng's pants.

Seeing that, Li Jiaci clicked his tongue.

In a disparaging tone he said, "Let's get started quickly; he's about to be marinated!"

Lin Niansheng clenched his fists, grinding his teeth.

If it weren't for the Anti-Corruption Bureau gang deliberately making things difficult for me, how could I have been humiliated by this bastard!

Liu Yanxi said, "You came at just the right time; Lin Niansheng still wants to keep exercising his right to remain silent, ignoring my questions!"

"Well then, Li Qinglan, if you have something to say, just say it!"

Li Jiaci pointed with his hand.

Li Qinglan's tears streamed down in an instant.

"Police Officer Liu, Lin Niansheng has ruined me; you must stand up for me!"

"He's basically not human, gripping my weak point, threatening me to do his bidding!"

"I've been reduced to a beggar, turned into a lunatic—all thanks to him!"

As soon as those words were spoken.

Lin Niansheng nearly overturned the table in front of him.

His eyes bloodshot, he shouted, "Li Qinglan, what the hell are you spouting?! When have I ever threatened you?"

Seeing him stubbornly refuse to admit.

Li Qinglan wasn't too surprised, given Lin Niansheng's shameless audacity; he would surely deny it outright.

Even before coming, she had already made ample preparations in her heart.

Liu Yanxi looked at the two with a stern expression.

Then Li Qinglan suddenly slid from her chair to kneel before her.

"After Lin Niansheng learned I was Li Jiaci's girlfriend, he repeatedly approached me with favors!"

"He promised me a chance to study abroad, asking me to tell him Li Jiaci's movements; I was momentarily blinded by gain and fell for his deceit!"

"Later his appetite grew ever larger, and he actually had me secretly stir up Li Jiaci to take revenge on Zhang Shiqiang!"

"I know how serious this is, but the moment I tried to refuse, he threatened me with my student status, forcing me to do his bidding!"

"I truly had no way out; he had my future in a stranglehold, leaving me only one dark path to follow!"

"Yet Lin Niansheng hasn't fulfilled a single thing he promised!"

"Not only that, he forced me to take money from Li Jiaci's hands to give him as tribute!"

"I bear legal responsibility for every word I say!"

"I hope Police Officer Liu will thoroughly investigate Lin Niansheng for abusing his law enforcement power, taking bribes privately, persecuting innocent girls, and so on!"

A tearful, voice-choked accusation.

It completely pushed Lin Niansheng to the brink of a cliff.

Li Qinglan wiped the tears from her eyes, glanced at Lin Niansheng, who looked as if struck by five thunderbolts, and the corner of her mouth rose triumphantly.

Lin Niansheng, your retribution has arrived.

"Lin Niansheng, do you admit to what she just said?"

Liu Yanxi asked sternly.

Upon hearing those words.

Lin Niansheng's veins bulged with anger, yet he still thick-skinned shook his head.

"I refuse to admit it!"

"This damn nonsense is all false accusation, baseless—can't just listen to the wind and believe it's rain!"

What's more, this woman is a lunatic!

A lunatic's words can't be taken as truth!

Just as his words fell.

Li Jiaci slapped down a mental appraisal report.

I knew you'd say that!

So when I had Li Qinglan discharged, I specifically had her attending physician issue a mental appraisal report!

The report shows she is mentally normal now and doesn't need to take medication afterward!

Her testimony is not the ravings of a lunatic, but a victim's accusation against you!

Lin Niansheng picked up that report.

He tore it to shreds immediately.

Fragments floated in the interrogation room.

At this moment, it's clear who is more like a lunatic.

Do you want to use this lunatic to convict me?

Hehe, not a chance!

Can a few words from her prove I broke the law?

I even said I was being threatened by her!

Lin Niansheng said, panting.

Without waiting for Liu Yanxi to respond, he pointed at Li Qinglan's nose and said, "I can now sue you for slander; just wait for my lawyer's letter—we'll see who ends up in prison, you or me!"

Li Qinglan met his angry gaze without the slightest fear.

Fine, go ahead and sue me for slander; we'll see each other in court!

Lin Niansheng's heart gave a jolt.

He looked in great surprise at the woman kneeling on the ground.

Not long ago, she stood before him, not daring to breathe, let alone meet his eyes, weak as a spineless coward.

But now she actually has the nerve to stand up to him.

Lin Niansheng recalled everything that had happened before.

He couldn't believe what he saw before his eyes.

This was the tool he could hit or scold as he pleased.

Where did she get such nerve?

Li Jiaci stepped forward, patted Lin Niansheng on the shoulder, and sighed, "Old Lin, you might as well confess; everyone knows the truth, why are you being so stubborn?"

What business is it of yours!

Lin Niansheng jerked back, hit the chair, and fell over.

Seeing his sorry state, Li Jiaci shook his head.

Actually, you know better than anyone that once you're in this place, there's no way out!

What's more, your case has caused an uproar; the entire populace of Huaguo knows your face!

No matter where you go, people will openly humiliate and curse you, and even your family will be stigmatized!

Given all this, what are you still insisting on?

You'd be better off taking my advice: go to jail honestly, wait for the outside turmoil to pass, then come out!

By then, few will remember your affair, or your face!

Upon hearing that,

Lin Niansheng burst into manic laughter.

Hahaha…

Do you think I care about face?

One sentence.

It left everyone present speechless.

Lin Niansheng regarded shamelessness as a skill.

You still have 47 hours left!

At worst, we'll just drag it out, seeing who can outlast whom!

I've come and gone from this place countless times!

It's just like going home, damn it!

It's so comfortable!
