Chapter 212: Taking Advantage of the Fire
"What are you doing?!"
Tang Ying appeared in the interrogation room, took a quick glance at Chen Che, and questioned him with a gloomy face.
When Fan Hao saw Tang Ying, he was startled, because in his impression, Tang Ying was not on duty tonight, so she should have been sleeping at home at this moment; how could she appear here?
The doubt flashed by, but with no time to overthink, Fan Hao quickly turned off the Interferer, hid it in his sleeve, leaned on his crutches to stand up, and saluted respectfully: "Captain, I am conducting an interrogation!"
The rules within the Patrol Justice Department are strict; even if Chen Che's crimes are now supported by conclusive evidence, corporal punishment and forced confessions are not allowed, let alone the fact that Fan Hao was using torture on purpose, which is an even greater taboo in the Patrol Justice Department.
However, in truth, if such things are done without leaving a trace, it is completely fine. But even knowing that Tang Ying had likely come to look after Chen Che, and that Fan Hao had earned merit this time by capturing Chen Che, he still did not dare to cause trouble in front of Tang Ying.
The hierarchy within the Patrol Justice Department is strict to the point of cruelty; although there is only a half-rank difference between the two, Tang Ying could completely decide Fan Hao's fate in the Patrol Justice Department with a single word!
However,
Fan Hao's attentive and respectful attitude did not bring Tang Ying a shred of comfort; instead, her sharp eyes noticed his act of hiding the Interferer.
Linking this to the scene of Chen Che's pale face when she entered, Tang Ying instantly understood what was going on.
Tang Ying grabbed Fan Hao's wrist and pried out the Interferer hidden inside.
"What is this? I'm asking you, what is this?!"
Tang Ying clutched the Interferer, and without waiting for Fan Hao to reply, she slapped him directly.
"Slap!"
Fan Hao was already struggling to stand on his crutches, and Tang Ying's slap was very forceful, so Fan Hao crashed directly into the wall and rebounded onto the floor.
Tang Ying was still not satisfied and kicked Fan Hao's bandaged left foot again.
"Hiss—"
Fan Hao gasped in pain, nearly fainting.
"You abused private lynching and violated the rules of the Patrol Justice Department. Tomorrow I will notify the people at the Supervision Department; you just wait to eat prison food!"
Tang Ying roared in uncontrollable anger.
Being beaten by Tang Ying, even a clay figure would have three parts of temper, and furthermore, before Tang Ying discovered the Interferer, he had already turned it off.
The electronic recording equipment in the interrogation room had also been turned off by him, so there was no evidence to prove he had abused private lynching.
"Tang Ying, even if you are my Captain, you cannot beat your subordinates at will. You say I abused private lynching; do you have any evidence?!"
Fan Hao scrambled up, glared at Tang Ying, and roared back.
Tang Ying was so angry her teeth itched; she really wanted to give him another big slap, but after calming down to think, she indeed had no solid evidence to hand Fan Hao over to the Supervision Department.
"Get out!"
Tang Ying roared, driving him out.
Fan Hao leaned on his crutches, gave a cold snort, and said: "Tang Ying, I advise you, Chen Che's charges are already set in stone. If you don't want to be implicated by him, you should clear your relationship as soon as possible."
"Get out!"
Tang Ying's voice rose a notch.
"Consider yourself lucky!"
Fan Hao took one last unwilling and vicious look at Chen Che, then hobbled out of the interrogation room on his crutches.
Tang Ying closed the door, walked over to Chen Che, squatted down, held Chen Che's handsome face—which was gradually regaining its color—and said with a look of heartache: "How are you? Does it still hurt?"
Chen Che smiled and shook his head: "It's a good thing you arrived in time."
"Seeing your face so pale, I was worried to death!"
Tang Ying let go of Chen Che's face, unlocked the Collar Shackles on his body, and said: "Just suffer a bit in the detention room tonight; I'll keep watch here, and Fan Hao won't dare to do anything to you again."
With the shackles removed and his sealed Acupoints finally clear, Chen Che took a deep breath, flexed his wrists, took a button off his chest, and placed it in Tang Ying's fair palm.
"Everything that happened at the Huang Family Villa and just now with Fan Hao is recorded here."
Chen Che said.
Tang Ying smiled: "So that's why you called me asking for this kind of Micro Camera. In this way, the Huang family's schemes against you will completely collapse. Next is your—oh no, our—time to perform."
Chen Che also curled his lips and said: "It's not enough yet. Help me expose the video inside; if it's inconvenient for you, give it to Shen Qi and let him do it."
"You want to mobilize the power of public opinion. The Huang family is a powerful family; what they fear most is the power of public talk, especially when there is conclusive evidence."
Tang Ying nodded, understanding Chen Che's intent, while a look of intense admiration and worship appeared in her eyes as she looked at him.
"You're right."
Chen Che continued: "Additionally, there is one more thing. You need to help me pass a message to Shen Qi, tell him to go to Ma Ziai to get something, and then take this thing to the Ma Family and the Huang Family respectively."
"What thing?"
Tang Ying asked curiously.
"A secret."
Chen Che kept her in suspense.
"Tch, what secret is it that even I can't be told?"
Tang Ying pouted, somewhat unhappy.
"This one really can't be told, but you should know the general idea when the time comes."
Chen Che replied.
"Fine."
Tang Ying stopped asking, instead propping her hands on the chair, deliberately leaning over toward Chen Che, and asked with a smile: "I'm helping you this much, how do you plan to repay me?"
"... Defending fairness and justice, isn't that your duty as a Patrol Justice Commander?"
Chen Che countered with a question.
"It is a duty, but more importantly, it's for you, my... future boyfriend."
Tang Ying's eyes were fiery, staring straight at Chen Che.
Their faces were only five centimeters apart, and the hot air they breathed could be felt on each other's faces; it was itchy and distracting.
Chen Che gazed at her flawless face, and just as he was about to speak, a slender, jade-white finger was pressed against his lips, stopping him from saying it.
"You know what I want to hear, so other than that sentence, you aren't allowed to say anything else, or else I'll be very unhappy."
Tang Ying squinted her eyes and smiled, looking both playful and enchanting.
Chen Che said helplessly, "I say, big sister, this counts as taking advantage of someone in a crisis; you wouldn't be using all the skills you learned at the Justice Inspection Bureau for dealing with criminals on me, would you!"
"Wrong answer. Besides, criminals don't get such good treatment as you."
Tang Ying pouted and smiled slyly, "You'd better hurry up; if this drags on until dawn, Fan Hao will initiate the trial against you, and if I haven't finished your plan by then and you can't successfully turn the tables, you'll be in great danger."
"Uh..."
Chen Che regretted asking her for help a little; this woman really forced him to submit the moment she caught an opportunity, so persistent!
It seemed that if he didn't give this woman some sweetness, it wouldn't work, so he would just go all out!
It was just selling his looks, nothing big! As the saying goes, a real man knows when to yield and when to stand tall, especially a real man who is as handsome as he is!
"Do you still remember the game we played when I was on a mission with you before?"
Chen Che pondered for a moment and spoke again.
This time, there was a hint of alluring magnetism in his tone.
That magnetic voice reached Tang Ying's ears, making her heart tremble, and she subconsciously asked, "What do you mean?"
Chen Che gave a wicked, charming smile and answered her question with action.
Chen Che grabbed her wrist with one hand, wrapped his other hand around the back of her head, and kissed her sexy red lips with full aggression.
"Mmph!"
Tang Ying was caught off guard, her body softening in an instant; after a brief moment of distraction, she entered the rhythm, wrapped her arms around Chen Che's neck, and responded passionately.
