Evan watched Ning Yuan's departing figure, then looked at Zhou Yan's ashen face, then looked at Ning Yuan's departing figure again, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
He knew Ning Yuan was not someone to be trifled with, but he never expected her to be so bold.
To think that such a petite woman could be so ruthless.
He could only follow Ning Yuan and her group out, personally seeing Ning Yuan and the senior lawyers off.
"Miss Ning, esteemed lawyers, I'm truly sorry for tonight. Superintendent Zhou is new and doesn't know the rules. I'll definitely give him a good talking to later! I apologize for the trouble I've caused you all tonight!"
Meanwhile, only after Evan and the Ning family members had walked away did C and the rest of the O-Team members dare to approach Zhou Yan.
That kick Ning Yuan gave just now looked painful.
"Zhou sir, are you alright? Should we go to the hospital to get checked out?" Bao C asked with concern, while gesturing for his subordinates to quickly write down what had just happened.
Zhou Yan regained his composure and waved his hand, "No need, I won't die."
He took the cigarette from C, tilted his head to light it, and took a deep drag.
Amidst the swirling smoke, the man's eyes flashed with a sinister, roguish light: "This woman is really something."
Even Bao C couldn't help but swear: "Damn, that woman is really difficult to deal with!"
Zhou Yan slowly exhaled a smoke ring: "As it stands, she probably doesn't know about the dock incident yet, but it's certain that she's in contact with Gui Laosi. Keep a close eye on her; I need to know her every move."
"Understood!" Explosive C replied.
Zhou Yan paused, then narrowed his eyes: "Investigate Ning Bing'an and Gui Lao Si as well, especially their financial dealings with Ning Yuan, and investigate the relationship between Ning Bing'an and Ning Yuan."
Bao C scratched his head in an awkward manner, "Zhou sir, the Ning family's accounts are very clean on the surface, making them difficult to investigate. Their shady dealings, going through underground banks, leave no trace. Moreover, Ning Yuan is currently cooperating with the Li family, a very complex and intertwined relationship..."
Furthermore, what is the relationship between Ning Bing'an and Ning Yuan? Aren't they siblings? Why is this being investigated?
He glanced cautiously at Zhou Yan's expression and added, "Besides, nobody knows if they have anyone in the police station..."
Zhou Yan, a cigarette dangling from his lips, took off his police cap and tossed it aside, loosening his tie: "The Li family? The Li family has many collaborations with Ning Yuan in the mainland; they might not be involved in these dirty dealings. As for the police station itself..."
He sneered, "We'll have to clean this up sooner or later."
There is a high possibility that there are moles within the police department from various factions, which is a problem he must solve.
Fei Shuizai muttered to himself, "That's hard to say. Young Master Li isn't married. I've heard he and Ning Yuan are always seen together, attending business events together frequently. Those paparazzi write gossip about Ning and Li getting married all the time, but neither family has come out to clarify..."
Zhou Yan glanced at Fei Shuizai with a gloomy expression and said coldly, "Just investigate when I tell you to. Why all the nonsense? Want to go patrol the streets with the rookies?" (rookie = new police officer)
Startled, Fei Shui immediately fell silent: "Yes, sir! I'll investigate right away!"
Bao C quickly stepped in to smooth things over, slapping Fei Shui Zai on the back of the head: "You talk too much! Who is our Zhou Sir? He must have a reason for asking you to do something!"
Zhou Yan looked at Bao C, his tone still irritable: "Bao C, watch your mouth in the future. As a member of the O-Division Major Crimes Unit, what kind of behavior is it to keep talking like that to a woman? If she catches you doing something wrong, she could really get you fired!"
C was hit by the tail end of the typhoon, and awkwardly touched his nose, thinking to himself: These days, it's common for the Hong Kong government to physically interrogate criminal suspects during interrogations, so what's a few curses?
Besides, that woman was so ruthless and had such a sharp tongue, what's wrong with venting her anger by hurling a few insults?
However, since the boss was doing it for his own good, Bao C naturally didn't dare to argue and could only earnestly reply, "Yes, Brother Yan is right to reprimand me. I will definitely pay attention in the future."
Seeing that his boss was acting strangely, Bao C continued to coax him at full speed: "Boss, you're really capable. A powerful and thorny rose like Miss Ning is not someone that ordinary people can handle. Only Brother Yan can pry her open. Is there any suspect in this world that we can't handle, right!"
Although I don't know what methods were used, being able to get the answers they couldn't get is a skill in itself!
The surrounding O-Division agents chimed in, "Yes, yes, Inspector Chow is amazing! He stunned Miss Ning in no time!"
"That's right! Rich girls are all knives, only Inspector Zhou can withstand that!"
Zhou Yan didn't say anything more, but took a deep drag on his cigarette. The smoke obscured his expression.
The image of Ning Yuan's sharp eyes and her merciless kick, which struck his shinbone squarely, flashed through his mind and still throbbed faintly.
Ugh, it feels like I got scratched hard by a wild cat, itchy and painful...
Just then, Evan pushed the door open and came in, carrying two boxed lunches.
Seeing that Zhou Yan's expression was not right, he waved his hand, signaling Bao C and the others to leave.
"Don't you guys have anything to do? What are you doing standing around here?" Evan asked impatiently, his deep eyes scanning the room beneath his thick eyebrows.
Upon hearing this, Bao C and the others immediately understood. The bosses had something to say in private; how could they, as lowly underlings, possibly get involved?
The crowd immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
Before leaving, C thoughtfully closed the door behind him.
Only Evan and Zhou Yan remained in the interrogation room.
Zhou Yan, still exuding a roguish air, raised his hand in salute and said, "Brother One!"
Evan put the lunchbox on the table, waved away the smoke in front of his eyes, and frowned, saying, "Smoke less! This stuff can't be eaten as food. Also, don't push yourself too hard. Go to the infirmary later, just in case you really fracture a bone! You'll regret it!"
Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes, a wicked smile playing on his lips: "Don't worry, you won't die. I'll get my revenge on her sooner or later!"
Evan sighed and rubbed his forehead, his thick brows furrowed. "Miss Ning Qi is a ruthless character. Her kicks don't sound like a woman's, but rather like a martial arts expert's. What exactly did you do to her?"
He didn't believe Ning Yuan would harm Zhou Yan for no reason.
Zhou Yan flicked his cigarette ash, his tone indifferent: "It's nothing, I revealed my identity, and then... I couldn't resist her good figure and face, so I made my move, and it worked well!"
Evan was speechless. This kid was incredibly audacious! He was practically begging for mercy by getting too close to Miss Ning!
He couldn't help but slam his fist on the table and start swearing in English—
"SHIT! Zhou Yan! Can't you think about the consequences of your actions a little? Don't be so ruthless! She's from the Ning family, Ning Zhengkun's niece, and Ning Bingyu's younger sister! If you treat her like this, and the Ning family comes after you, you'll be in deep trouble!"
"Your second uncle and I are best friends. I don't want to be responsible for your dead body. I can't face your second uncle if I do that!"
Zhou Yan grinned nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of? Aren't you going to collect my body? The highest-ranking officer in the police force personally collecting my body, that's an honor enough!"
Evan was so angry he felt like his liver was about to burst. This kid was completely unreasonable, really...
