Chapter 089 Ruthless Strike
Ma Donglai’s face was already visibly flushed with anger, and his voice sounded increasingly sinister: “Captain Ye, are you deliberately obstructing our investigation? As a police officer, are you not standing with us, but instead siding with the criminal suspect?”
Ye Binglan shook her head, the look in her eyes growing more determined.
“I only stand on the side of facts. I respect facts and the police badge I wear,” Ye Binglan said coldly. “Any behavior that manipulates a case in violation of regulations is a desecration of this police uniform!”
Ma Donglai was furious. He had wanted to seize the opportunity to make a good impression, but never expected someone as blind as Ye Binglan to appear. He clapped his hands and said, “Fine, fine, fine. Let me ask you, how many years have you been a police officer, and how many years have I been one? A newcomer like you, trying to boss me around? You simply don’t have the qualifications!”
“Whether I’m qualified or not isn’t for you to decide, nor is it for me to decide.”
Ye Binglan raised the interrogation transcript in her hand again and said, “This decides.”
“How can I be sure your transcript isn’t fabricated? How can I be sure you haven’t colluded with this criminal suspect? How can I be sure that what you and he claim is true?”
Ma Donglai wanted to resolve the issue before Deputy Bureau Chief Zhang Yuanxing arrived, so seeing Ye Binglan’s continuous obstruction made him increasingly anxious and angry: “Captain Ye, if you continue to create obstacles for our investigation, I’m afraid I’ll have to list you as a suspect.”
Ye Binglan couldn’t believe how shameless Ma Donglai was, not only distorting facts but even making outrageous accusations!
“Ma Donglai, since you walked in, you’ve been forcefully trying to take over this case without any documentation, only claiming verbal instructions from superior leaders. I have to ask, why are you so eager? Who are you rushing to serve? Which leader gave these verbal instructions? Our case has already been resolved, yet you persist. I suspect you’re just trying to make a good impression to get promoted and rewarded when you return!” Ye Binglan counterattacked without backing down!
She knew her words had hit the mark and would definitely sting Ma Donglai! Because the facts were obvious!
This was a young woman with a pure heart, using her efforts to prevent that purity from being contaminated by worldly entanglements.
“You’re talking nonsense!”
Ma Donglai cursed, pointing at Ye Binglan’s delicate face in uncontrollable anger, saying, “Ye Binglan, if you weren’t a woman, I would have slapped your face already!”
“Do you think I’m afraid of you? Even if this case goes all the way to the capital, I will stop you!”
Ye Binglan stood her ground, utterly disappointed by the fundamental corruption of certain colleagues!
She couldn’t back down on this matter, or she wouldn’t be able to face herself. As she was about to say more, she felt someone gently tug at her arm.
Turning her head, she saw it was Su Rui!
Looking at her, Su Rui’s face showed a gentle smile: “Captain Ye, thank you for this, but I don’t want to cause unpleasantness between you and your colleagues because of this matter.”
Ma Donglai’s expression showed slight surprise, as if he hadn’t expected Su Rui to act this way.
Ye Binglan wanted to say more, but Su Rui’s hand on her arm applied a little pressure, and then he nodded.
From Su Rui’s eyes, Ye Binglan clearly saw three words—trust me.
“Captain Ye, I think continuing this argument won’t solve anything. Why not give me and Officer Ma some space to let me explain the situation to them myself? What do you think?”
Seeing Su Rui’s meaningful gaze and hearing his suggestive words, Ye Binglan nodded.
“Captain Ye, I find this criminal suspect quite reasonable. Good, good. I think his suggestion is excellent, and I fully support it. We can talk privately, which might be more effective and clear up misunderstandings sooner,” Ma Donglai said, looking at Su Rui with a hint of viciousness on his face.
Ye Binglan gave Su Rui a long look, then bit her lip and said to Little Liu, “Have all personnel from the criminal investigation division leave. No overtime tonight, everyone go home and rest!”
Hearing this, Little Liu was somewhat surprised, not expecting his captain to suddenly issue such an order that contradicted their earlier stance!
“What are you standing there for? Go quickly!” Ye Binglan shouted at Little Liu.
“Yes!” While acknowledging the order, Little Liu couldn’t help glancing in Su Rui’s direction before hurrying out.
Hearing this, Ma Donglai clapped his hands vigorously and laughed, “I’m very satisfied with Captain Ye’s order. It seems Captain Ye truly understands what’s important.”
Ye Binglan coldly replied, “Then I wish you success in solving the case quickly, to give us—and the leadership—an explanation.”
When saying the word “leadership,” Ye Binglan deliberately emphasized it!
Ma Donglai laughed loudly, though his eyes were filled with coldness!
Ye Binglan walked past Ma Donglai and his men. As she closed the door to leave, she gave Su Rui one last deep look.
Having entered the police force with idealistic dreams, Ye Binglan had hoped to add a bit more peace to the blue sky with her efforts. However, some things were darker than she could imagine.
Like tonight.
Following her usual approach, Ye Binglan would have refused to the end, but after seeing Su Rui’s gaze, she suddenly changed her mind.
For some reason, Su Rui, who had been a stranger just days ago, always gave Ye Binglan a sense of trustworthiness. Perhaps, after she left, this man would handle things better.
As she had felt before, she found a sense of comradeship in Su Rui.
Su Rui clearly saw the concern in Ye Binglan’s eyes. He smiled slightly: “Captain Ye, please take your people and leave quickly. I think Officer Ma has many private matters to discuss with me.”
Ma Donglai’s smile looked somewhat ferocious, and at this moment, Ye Binglan sighed softly as the interrogation room door was firmly closed!
Ye Binglan led her subordinates out of the precinct doors. Looking at the quiet night sky, she suddenly heard a rustling sound.
“The wind is picking up,” Ye Binglan said softly.
“Captain Ye, do you think Su Rui and Qin Longlong will be beaten badly tonight?” Officer Little Liu said. “That Ma Donglai is Bureau Chief Zhang Yuanxing’s man from the city bureau. When he arrived today, I understood immediately—the beaten Zhang Zhenyang must be Chief Zhang’s son. It seems Su Rui and his friend are in serious trouble.”
Little Liu could see the problem clearly, and Ye Binglan understood it even better, but her response surprised her colleagues even more.
“Take out your phones, turn them all off, and go home to sleep,” Ye Binglan said, shaking her head. “This case has been taken over by the city bureau. Even if something major happens, it has nothing to do with us!”
“If anything really happens, it’s under our Bureau Chief Wang’s instructions!”
Ye Binglan’s words clearly conveyed a double meaning!
Ma Donglai walked to the door, turned the lock, and the entire interrogation room was locked from the inside.
Three against one.
He looked at Su Rui and sneered, “Do you know who you beat up?”
Su Rui shook his head and said, “I didn’t beat anyone, but I admit my companion did. He did the right thing—those scumbags deserved to be taught a lesson.”
“You didn’t beat anyone? But according to many eyewitness testimonies, you did!” Ma Donglai said with a sinister smile. “Stubborn to the end.”
“Eyewitnesses? Whose eyewitnesses?” Su Rui’s smile grew colder. “Yours?”
“At this point, I don’t think there’s anything more to say. Let’s get on with it.” Ma Donglai turned his head and signaled to his two subordinates: “Show him what you’ve got. I don’t believe this guy will still be so tough after ten minutes!”
“Yes, Brother Ma!”
The two men flexed their muscles, cracking their knuckles. One even twisted his neck, making cracking sounds!
Obviously, these so-called police officers wanted to use violent means to force Su Rui to change his testimony or rewrite it according to their version. They were trying to extract a false confession through torture!
“This is really pointless,” Su Rui’s eyes suddenly showed a hint of pity. “I’ve only been back in the country for such a short time and already encountered what I hate most. So, mourn for yourselves.”
“Such big talk! Get him now!” Ma Donglai shouted!
The two police officers lunged at Su Rui!
For an ordinary person facing their joint attack, the only outcome would be surrender followed by a brutal beating!
The interrogation room was tightly sealed and soundproofed, capable of muffling even gunshots! Now that Ye Binglan had withdrawn with her people, no matter what happened here, no one would hear!
Ma Donglai was grinning viciously, as he could already envision Su Rui beaten to the ground and Zhang Yuanxing’s satisfied expression upon arrival.
However, things often don’t go as planned.
Su Rui slightly shifted his body, avoiding a powerful punch from one officer. He grabbed the man’s collar and delivered two consecutive knee strikes!
Two vicious knee blows!
The officer fell, clutching his chest! Blood was already spurting from his mouth! His chest bones were extensively fractured!
Su Rui didn’t spare him another glance. Before turning around, he swung a backhand slap that struck the second officer’s left cheek!
Bang!
Su Rui’s blow was extremely heavy, the slap sending the man airborne before his head crashed hard against the wall! The dull thud made one’s heart tremble!
However, Su Rui didn’t stop there. He stepped forward, grabbed the man’s hair, and smashed his face hard against the wall!
The fragile nose collided with the hard wall, and blood exploded instantly! Blood covered the wall and his face!
