"This blanket is from my own home. If you don't mind, you can use it tonight. It can get a bit chilly at night in the summer, so don't catch a cold." Then, another blanket was handed over.

"Even a beggar complains about spoiled food? Your blanket is very nice, I'm so grateful, how could I complain?" Yang Qingheng took it with both hands, the refreshing scent of soap wafting into her nose, feeling somewhat familiar.

While I was sleeping at night, I don't know if it was because of the location of the detention cell, but the wind coming in from outside was really chilly.

Yang Qingheng was about to lie down, wrapped in the quilt, when she heard a creak and the iron gate outside opened.

She sat up abruptly and saw Li Zichang push open the door and stride in.

"What are you doing here? This isn't interrogation time." Yang Qingheng's hair stood on end. She stood up and looked outside, but there was no sign of the police.

“I’ve already sent them away. Tonight… it’ll just be you and me here.” Li Zichang stroked his chin, his eyes scanning her up and down, as if he were estimating the price of a commodity.

Yang Qingheng steadied herself: "Li Zichang, this is a police station. If you do anything wrong here today, don't even think about getting away with it."

Li Zichang paused slightly, as if carefully considering the seriousness of the matter. However, the next second, he suddenly chuckled mockingly, slowly approaching Yang Qingheng and patting her cheek from above: "You don't think Tang Bainian can still help you, do you? Not to mention that Tang Bainian isn't at the police station tonight, even if he knew, so what? How are you going to prove that I raped you? Take off your pants to prove it?"

Yang Qingheng took a deep breath, silently recited three times, her eyes suddenly turned fierce, and she smashed the water bottle in her hand hard on his head.

With a loud thud, the kettle crashed heavily to the ground.

Li Zichang kicked the kettle out, and it rolled out the door with a clatter.

"Is that all you've got?"

Yang Qingheng swallowed nervously, turned and ran towards the door, but the man swiftly picked her up and threw her back onto the bed.

The man's tall body pressed her down tightly, and she could even smell the stench of cigarettes on him, making her nauseous.

While he was pulling at his collar, he kicked him in the groin.

A wail came from inside the detention cell. Li Zichang's face was deathly pale, and he was clutching his body, convulsing violently on the ground.

Yang Qingheng ran frantically, only to find that the door had been locked from the inside by Li Zichang, and the man had already recovered.

Yang Qingheng felt a chill run down her spine as the man slammed her to the ground.

"You're asking for it! I'm only doing you a favor by wanting to sleep with you! You slut, die!" No one had ever dared to treat him like this before!

Li Zichang was furious and picked up a water glass from the ground, smashing it hard against her.

After a few desperate blows, Yang Qingheng was slammed to the ground, dizzy and unable to get up.

Knowing that Li Zichang was lawless, she never imagined he could go this far, daring to do such a thing on police territory.

Yang Qingheng was in so much pain that she almost fainted, and she prayed that the people outside would quickly discover the abnormality inside.

Hospital.

Yao Ying looked towards the door for what felt like the umpteenth time.

"Qingheng said she would bring me dinner tonight, why hasn't she come back yet? Could something have gotten in the way? Hengjue, go look for her."

Song Hengjue put his water glass on the table, unconcerned: "Why do you care about this? What might happen if she goes to Tang Bainian's house? Aunt Zhou likes her, maybe she'll let her stay there for one night. Alright, go to sleep early, don't worry about things you shouldn't."

That woman is probably on a romantic date with Tang Bainian somewhere right now.

The old lady was just worrying about things that weren't her business.

"Aren't you worried about your wife staying at someone else's house? If that shameless Tang Bainian manages to seduce your wife, you'll regret it." Yao Ying was exasperated and slapped his arm hard.

That blockhead Tang Bainian's intentions are written all over his face. Plus, he's good-looking. Yang Qingheng is young, and if she keeps spending time with him like this, she'll eventually be fooled by his seductive appearance.

"Okay, okay, I'll go pick her up. You go to sleep first." Song Hengjue said perfunctorily, opened the door, but instead of heading out of the hospital, he turned around and went to the obstetrics and gynecology department.

"Bainian, what's this? Did you bring us a late-night snack?" Several police officers teased Tang Bainian, who had already finished his shift, as he strode in carrying a thermos.

Tang Bainian glared at her: "Go away, go away. This is something my aunt specially cooked for girls. If you want to eat it, go to her house and get it yourself."

After hearing that Yang Qingheng was at the police station, Zhou Shuwen insisted on dragging him out of bed late at night, saying that the freshly cooked white fungus soup was delicious and that Yang Qingheng should also try it.

"Send it to your little benefactor," Xu Feng sneered, seeing right through his little scheme.

Tang Bainian nodded and glanced into the interrogation room: "Are Li Zichang and his men still inside interrogating people?"

The matter actually came from their police station, but Li Zichang's unit insisted on coming themselves and even used their superiors to pressure them, so they had no choice but to agree to let Li Zichang and his team conduct the interrogation while they listened in from the sidelines.

Xu Feng shook his head: "Li Zichang isn't inside. He left around nine o'clock."

“But I saw his car was still outside…” Tang Bainian pointed outside, a sudden inspiration striking him.

Terrified, he turned and ran wildly toward the detention center.

The place was completely empty; there wasn't a single guard in sight. The door was locked from the inside, confirming his earlier suspicions.

Tang Bainian, breathless, kicked open the iron gate with a fierce thud.

Upon seeing the scene inside, his heart stopped, and he rushed forward, punching Li Zichang to the ground: "Beast!"
