"ah……"
A piercing scream sent chills down the spines of the three people in the room.
Ye Wanwan turned pale with fright. "Brother Dong... Brother Mingzhe, did you... did you hear anything?"
Before the two could answer, screams of agony rang out one after another, accompanied by the faint sounds of things being smashed and broken, even the sound of fists hitting flesh, and the sound of blood being vomited...
Every little sound made the three people in the room feel extremely uneasy.
Ye Wanwan's voice trembled, "They wouldn't do the same to us, would they?"
"They dare!" Tung Chee-hwa said, his voice trembling with fear. "They're abusing their power, forcing confessions out of us. We can report them!"
Zhao Mingzhe gave him a cold look. "Do you think they'll give us a chance?"
Ye Wanwan panicked even more, "Then...then what do we do? Waaah...I didn't do anything, why did they bring me to a place like this?"
Tung Chee-hwa was filled with fear and unease, and at this moment he had no intention of comforting Ye Wanwan.
He mentally weighed how many punches he could withstand if he were tortured.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he began to regret his impulsive decision to confront Ye Weiwei.
Seeing that Dong Jianhua didn't come to comfort her, Ye Wanwan lowered her eyes to hide the dark glint in them.
The three listened intently to the sounds outside, the room unusually quiet.
Fang Ming and Li Hao, separated by a wall, watched the three people in the interrogation room through a small hole.
"Squad leader, were those criminals brought in this morning really bribed by the people inside?"
Fang Ming glanced at Li Hao, "Most likely, otherwise the boss wouldn't have ordered us to bring him here."
Li Hao asked curiously, "Squad leader, does the boss really have a girlfriend? He's only been back for a few days, how come he already has a girlfriend? What does she look like? Who's prettier, her or that girl from the performing arts troupe? Was that person who brought a bunch of people to report a crime this morning really our boss's girlfriend?"
He only regretted that he had something to do in the morning and missed the opportunity to meet his sister-in-law at the police station.
Fang Ming looked at Li Hao with annoyance, "Go ask him yourself."
Li Hao immediately chickened out; how could he dare!
"I just think this is too fast."
Fang Ming also felt it was a bit too fast.
Despite numerous introductions and matchmaking attempts, Huo Xiao remained unmoved, appearing detached and indifferent to worldly affairs. They almost thought he wanted to become a monk.
Who knew that he would start dating just a few days after being discharged from the army and even set a wedding date?
Thinking of Ye Weiwei's face, Fang Ming felt it wasn't hard to understand.
Once he identifies a target, he acts swiftly and decisively – this is Huo Xiao's consistent style.
No wonder Huo Xiao looked down on those female soldiers in the cultural troupe!
Ye Weiwei is far superior to them in terms of skill, temperament, and appearance.
In particular, she has a straightforward and generous personality, which is much more pleasing to the eye than those women who always put on airs and claim to be modern women, acting as arrogant as peacocks.
It's no wonder that Huo Xiao, who is usually indifferent to women, was so angry when he heard that human traffickers were after Ye Weiwei that he wanted to kill them. He even abused his power and ordered the three people to be arrested and brought to the police station.
Alas, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman!
He was the one who had to clean up the mess and clean up the aftermath.
These educated youths weren't ignorant villagers; if they said they would report something, they really might.
Fortunately, he was careful at the time and made sure everyone was in plainclothes. He also used the excuse of assisting with the investigation to take people away, without making a big fuss about arresting them.
If they really can't find anything, they'll release him. If they are reported, they'll pin it on Scarface's case.
Why did the person who hired the thugs have to choose Scarface, a wanted criminal who was of particular concern to the higher-ups, and why did all three of them have a grudge against Ye Weiwei?
Scarface, who was tortured to the point of barely clinging to life: ...I just want to die quickly!
What a terrible police station! It's not safe at all!
The people here don't even treat them like human beings!
First they treated them like puppets, practicing bone setting, and now they've found this pervert from somewhere, torturing them to the point of wishing they were dead!
The door was pushed open, and Huo Xiao walked in, exuding a menacing aura.
Li Hao and Fang Ming, who were just excitedly discussing Ye Weiwei, immediately tensed up when they saw Huo Xiao like this. "Boss."
Huo Xiao said coldly, "I've already retired from the military and am no longer your leader. Don't call me that anymore; it's inappropriate. Just call me by my name."
Fang Ming and Li Hao responded respectfully, "Yes."
Huo Xiao found a chair and sat down, then pointed to the hole in the wall, "How's it going over there? Any progress?"
Fang Ming shook his head. "No."
Huo Xiao wasn't surprised. Those three weren't stupid; they wouldn't just confess without being asked.
"Scarface said that his superior had two lines, one overt and one covert. The overt line was the one that the Municipal Public Security Bureau had cracked, while the covert line had been well hidden. However, he was not a key figure in it, and only revealed one of his superiors, a man named Lao Hei on Tong'an Street in the county town."
"What! There's another hidden lead!" Fang Ming slammed his fist on the table excitedly. "Those damn bastards! I'll call the county public security bureau right now and have them arrest Lao Hei immediately!"
Fang Ming went to make a phone call.
Li Hao looked at Huo Xiao with admiration: "Boss... Huo, Brother Huo, you really are something else!"
He gave a thumbs up.
That scarred man was too well hidden; neither he nor the squad leader had ever imagined there was a hidden plot. They didn't know how Brother Huo had figured it out.
"Did Scarface and the others reveal who paid them to harm your sister-in-law?"
Huo Xiao shook his head. "No, it's the same as what they said before."
Li Hao was disappointed. "Then it seems they really don't know. Are we really going to wait until dawn to let them go back?"
Huo Xiao's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Impossible!"
His daughter had only been in Daqingshan Village for a few months, and spent most of her time at the educated youth settlement. She rarely even had contact with the villagers. Even if she had offended someone, it was impossible for him to resort to such vicious means to ruin her.
Therefore, judging from her life trajectory, the person who hired the killer could only be someone from the educated youth settlement, and the three people in the settlement who were at odds with her and had the deepest conflicts with her were these three.
Since they dared to plot against his people, they must bear the consequences.
This matter is absolutely not going to end well!
Huo Xiao thought for a moment and whispered a few words to Li Hao.
Li Hao understood and interrogated the three men separately.
The first person to be interrogated was Ye Wanwan.
As Ye Wanwan was led in, she kept hearing screams and howls, and her legs almost shook so badly she couldn't walk.
"Comrade, I... I don't know anything, I really don't know anything..."
Li Hao glanced at Ye Wanwan with disdain, thinking that this woman had stolen his sister-in-law's fiancé and was flirting with other men. She was shameless!
