Chapter 161 Reinforcements Arrive!
Every word from Su Rui made them feel their hearts tremble, every sentence seemed more dangerous and thrilling than a roller coaster ride!
Not being able to end so easily meant he would continue to pursue this matter!
Su Rui looked at Chen Zhishan, looked at Fang Quanyang, his gaze swept across the face of every Ninghai police officer, like a sharp knife. No one dared to make eye contact with him! Anyone who briefly met his eyes immediately lowered their head!
“Chief Chen, do you know why I was arrested?” Su Rui gently patted Chen Zhishan’s shoulder.
Chen Zhishan naturally didn’t know the reason, after all, he was the head commissioner of Ninghai Police Department, and such minor matters wouldn’t be reported to someone at his level.
Chen Zhishan glanced at Fang Quanyang, who was still slumped on the ground, his pants soaking wet, his eyes blank, not yet recovered from the near-death experience.
“Because I severely injured Song Yili from Tianxiang Group.” Su Rui pointed at Fang Quanyang and Ma Dongfang, “That’s their reason for arresting me.”
Chen Zhishan nodded. He couldn’t say anything to refute this. Looking at the current situation, even if Su Rui had killed Song Yili on a whim, they, as police officers, would be powerless!
Song Yili encountering Su Rui was simply his own misfortune!
“Beating him severely might seem like my fault in your eyes, but Song Yili was trying to kill me at the time. So I was forced to defend myself. If we really investigate, he had the initial motive.” Su Rui gently tapped Chen Zhishan’s chest with his finger.
Chen Zhishan didn’t understand why Su Rui was explaining this to him. Given his status, there was absolutely no need to explain any of this.
There was truly no necessity, yet he continued.
Luo Feiliang and the others remained silent. This Song Yili was indeed blind to dare provoke this super powerhouse who once nearly turned half the capital upside down. He deserved to die. Su Rui only severely injured him, which was too lenient for this guy.
“And your deputy commissioner and this criminal investigator, without clarifying the specific details of the incident, or perhaps after accepting bribes from Tianxiang Group’s chairman Song Tianxiang, arrested me during my dinner with Song Tianxiang, then tried to force a confession about what happened.”
Su Rui’s words made Chen Zhishan’s legs tremble. Having climbed up from the grassroots level, he understood the investigation styles of some police officers better than anyone. Sometimes, to save face for certain connections or to meet case-solving quotas, wrongful convictions were indeed unavoidable.
But making this master the subject of a wrongful conviction was like putting one’s head in front of a gun. How could that end well?
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask them if they received benefits from Song Tianxiang. If not, I’ll apologize to you.”
Chen Zhishan looked at Fang Quanyang, who had regained his senses and immediately shouted after hearing Su Rui’s words: “I didn’t, I really didn’t, you’re talking nonsense, slandering me!”
Su Rui calmly asked: “Is that so?”
Shangguan Mo also glared: “Tell the truth!”
When he saw Mr. Shangguan’s eyes, Fang Quanyang immediately recalled that heart-trembling feeling of death from earlier!
Immediately, he lowered his head, not daring to make any more defense!
“What a disgrace to the police force!” Shangguan Mo cursed harshly!
Ma Dongfang also kept his head down without speaking. Su Rui had no good feelings toward such people, nor a shred of compassion. Having such people remain in the police force would only make them bad apples!
Seeing this, Chen Zhishan understood everything!
“Commissioner Chen, now that you’ve seen your subordinates acting so recklessly, do you understand what I said to you earlier?” Su Rui said calmly: “When I called you incompetent, I wasn’t speaking carelessly.”
He looked solemnly at Su Rui and said: “Mr. Su, please rest assured, I will definitely investigate all issues thoroughly and give you a satisfactory explanation.”
Su Rui shook his head: “It’s not about giving me a satisfactory explanation, but giving your conscience a satisfactory explanation.”
With that, Su Rui turned and walked out of the interrogation room filled with strange odors, while Chen Zhishan watched his back, his face flushing with fear and trepidation.
Luo Feiliang didn’t say much more, just calmly said one sentence to the commissioner before turning to leave.
“Commissioner Chen, starting tomorrow, I will officially begin assisting your work, focusing on supervising the progress of this incident.”
Hearing these words, Chen Zhishan knew that perhaps from now on, Ninghai Police Department would truly become something different!
…
“Mr. Su… I’m sorry for letting you…”
Following behind Su Rui, Luo Feiliang wanted to apologize, to say “sorry for your suffering,” but found this phrase quite inappropriate. Unable to think of better words, Luo Feiliang choked on his own words.
“Which unit are you from?” Su Rui walked forward without looking back, asking calmly.
“National Security Bureau, First Division, Major Crimes Unit Four,” Luo Feiliang said.
“Major Crimes Unit Four? Seems they really think highly of me, sending specialists who handle major cases.” Su Rui’s tone was flat, showing neither joy nor sorrow. Luo Feiliang felt that he didn’t seem particularly welcoming toward their group.
“No, no, the higher-ups value you highly, that’s why they sent us to assist you.” Luo Feiliang wiped sweat from his forehead, realizing that even in simple conversation, Su Rui could create such immense pressure!
“Assist?”
Su Rui stopped at this point, turned around with a half-smile looking at Luo Feiliang: “More like monitoring, right? Afraid I’ll cause trouble?”
Obviously, the higher-ups sending Luo Feiliang and his team here had this intention.
But Luo Feiliang would never admit it, otherwise wouldn’t he be slapping his own face in front of this master?
“It’s not what you think, we really are here to assist you…”
Luo Feiliang wanted to continue explaining, but was interrupted by Su Rui: “You don’t need to say more, I understand everything. When I need your assistance, I’ll find you. By the way, when you have time, help me deliver a message to those old geezers who are still worried about me going crazy.”
“What message would you like me to deliver?” Perhaps in all of China, only Su Rui dared to call those elders “old geezers”!
“Worrying about me going crazy is useless. If I wanted revenge, none of them could stop me.”
With that, Su Rui turned and walked out of the Ninghai Police Department’s main entrance.
If I wanted revenge, none of them could stop me.
Carefully digesting these words, Luo Feiliang couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Sending them to Ninghai was essentially for firefighting. Today’s successful firefighting was only because this master didn’t want to get angry. If one day he truly decided to ignite a raging fire, there would be no way to stop him, and they would only serve as cannon fodder!
Shangguan Mo stood beside him, watching Su Rui’s back, his eyes gleaming: “An idol is truly an idol, even his threats are so cool!”
Luo Feiliang gave him an annoyed glance, having no desire to talk to him.
Qian Wanxing asked: “Chief Luo, the higher-ups also said we should track his movements to control the situation if anything seems off. Should we… still follow him?”
Luo Feiliang looked at this slow-witted subordinate and said irritably: “Do you think you can track him?”
Qian Wanxing thought for a moment and replied: “It would be difficult. If he discovers us, that wouldn’t be good.”
Shangguan Mo nudged him: “Then why are you still talking nonsense?”
Qian Wanxing shook his head: “Then should we help teach Song Tianxiang and his son a lesson? To win Su Rui’s favor?”
“Do you think my idol needs to show you any favor?” Shangguan Mo really didn’t want to deal with this guy: “If you’re too obvious about it, you’ll only earn his disgust!”
…
Su Rui left the police station and saw Lin Aoxue’s car waiting at the entrance.
It was already early morning, and the driver/bodyguard Wang Yuan was dozing off on the steering wheel, drooling when he heard a knock on the window.
Looking up, he saw it was Su Rui.
Wang Yuan immediately showed delight, quickly opening the back door for Su Rui to get in.
“Young master, you finally came out!” Wang Yuan rubbed his eyes, looking excited.
“Why are you here?” Su Rui got in the car and opened a bottle of mineral water, drinking half of it—he was parched after not drinking all night.
“It was the young miss who told me to wait for you here. She was very worried and told me to keep waiting. If you didn’t come out, I wasn’t allowed to leave.” Wang Yuan said with a smile.
“What if I didn’t come out for a year?” Su Rui thought about the ice queen’s decision and felt a warm current flowing through his heart.
The longer he knew Lin Aoxue, the more clearly he discovered that although she appeared cold on the outside, she was actually a woman with a warm heart, just deeply disguised behind an icy exterior.
“The young miss said if you don’t come out for a day, I wait for a day. If you don’t come out for a year, I wait for a year.” Wang Yuan laughed: “It seems the young miss has deep feelings for you, young master.”
Su Rui pouted: “It’s you waiting for me, not her. So it should be you who has deep feelings for me.”
At this, the two jokers burst into laughter.
“Of course, young master, the young miss was just saying that. She estimated you’d be out in six hours, but you came out in five and a half hours.” Wang Yuan said with a wink: “Seems you two are very in sync.”
Hearing Lin Aoxue’s estimate, Su Rui felt this woman was truly clever. Six hours was definitely a judgment based on many facts, and to estimate so accurately was indeed impressive.
Perhaps Lin Aoxue had already guessed many things through this incident.
This woman was too smart; there weren’t many things that could be kept from her.
“It’s late, take me to the Oriental Pearl Hotel,” Su Rui said.
But Wang Yuan shook his head: “No can do. The young miss said once you came out, I had to take you back.”
“Back where?”
“Lin Family Estate.”
