Chapter 9

When the door to the room was kicked open, Ye Feng immediately reacted, wanting to jump out the window and leave. However, someone reacted even faster. The girl instantly leaped off the bed and, without warning, kicked Ye Feng. Ye Feng's alertness instantly heightened, and he gathered his true qi in his palm, ready to intercept her kick. But to his surprise, her kick changed direction mid-air, skillfully moving from bottom to top, and landed heavily on his chest. With a "thud," he fell heavily against the wall, his chest aching. Eight years of cultivation were indeed not to be underestimated. "You just started practicing martial arts, right?" The girl's lips curled up, her beautiful eyes sparkling with agility, and her posture was graceful and elegant. "See you later~" She clearly didn't want to get involved with the police and cause trouble. Wearing a white dress with blue flowers, she looked like a flower. After a delicate laugh, she stepped on the sofa and gracefully left the balcony, disappearing without a trace. Ye Feng was left with tears in his eyes. Fortunately, he had gathered his true qi in his chest at the critical moment; otherwise, the girl's kick alone could have seriously injured him. Even so, with his weak true qi from just one day of cultivation, the kick left him temporarily unable to move. A group of uniformed police officers burst in, led by a man with a hooked nose and small eyes, who looked devious and cruel. "Cuff him." The man with the hooked nose pointed at Ye Feng, ran to the balcony, but found that the girl was already gone. He had no choice but to give up. However, capturing this young man named Ye Feng was enough. The man with the hooked nose thought to himself, watching his subordinates easily apprehend Ye Feng, who had been kicked. He chuckled. "Young man, coming to a hotel room at your age, let the police uncles educate you." The man with the hooked nose said menacingly, waving his hand. "Take him away!" In his view, although dealing with this young man was a small matter, it was still a favor to Mr. Tian, leaving a favor for the future. And Ye Feng could only submit to being captured. If he hadn't been kicked by the girl, he wouldn't have been afraid of these police officers. Unfortunately, now he could only be apprehended and taken to the police station. ... The sky had already darkened, and in a small, dark, and windowless interrogation room, the police officer with the hooked nose and small eyes began interrogating Ye Feng, accompanied by another middle-aged police officer with a blank expression. "Name?" The police officer with the hooked nose asked. Ye Feng sat across from the two police officers, constantly thinking about the possibility of escape. He concluded that it would be difficult to escape by force now that he was in this place and handcuffed. He would need to consume a Golden Leaf Grass to enhance his cultivation, but the environment was too dangerous, and he might suffer serious injuries or even death. "Ye Feng." He decided to cooperate first to see what the other party's intentions were. After all, he had done nothing wrong and felt at ease. "Gender?" The police officer with the hooked nose continued. "Age?" "High school student?" Ye Feng answered each question one by one. At this moment, the man with the hooked nose answered a phone call. "Hello, Mr. Tian? Yes, it's done. This young man is very cooperative. What do you think..." Mr. Tian? Ye Feng was a bit surprised. Who was Mr. Tian? The only person he knew with the surname Tian was Tian Youliang. Could it be his father? Tian Youliang was a rich second generation at Yanda High School because his father ran a company with some assets. It wasn't strange that he knew the police. If it was Tian Youliang's father who wanted to frame him, Ye Feng roughly understood the situation. "If they want to frame me, I can't just sit here and do nothing." Ye Feng thought, pondering a strategy. "Speak up, why did you engage in prostitution?" After the phone call, the man with the hooked nose stopped asking trivial questions and directly accused Ye Feng of prostitution. Ye Feng: "I didn't engage in prostitution." "Nonsense!" The police officer with the hooked nose scowled and said, "We have solid evidence. It's better for you to confess and be lenient. Actually, young people are full of energy, and occasional mistakes are understandable. This isn't a big deal; at most, you'll be detained for a few days and fined a bit." He tried to persuade Ye Feng to confess, which would make things easier. In fact, without catching the girl, there was no evidence to prove that Ye Feng had engaged in prostitution. But here in the police station, they had the final say. "I didn't." Ye Feng shrugged. He certainly wouldn't admit to something he hadn't done, especially something that would damage his reputation. "It seems you need to suffer a bit to recognize your mistake." The man with the hooked nose smiled coldly and stood up. Ye Feng became alert. Was he going to use force? But just then, the man with the hooked nose's phone rang again. He glanced at it and answered, "Hello, Chief Liu?" "Xiao Zhang, open the door." A voice came from the other end of the phone. The man with the hooked nose, hearing this, was very respectful. He turned around and opened the door to the interrogation room, where a middle-aged man with a square face and a potbelly stood, who must be the "Chief Liu" he mentioned. The middle-aged man glanced at Ye Feng and then patted the man with the hooked nose on the shoulder, smiling. "Xiao Zhang, you did well this time. According to reliable information, this person is a rape suspect, which is a more serious crime than prostitution. Interrogate him well. It's our duty as police officers to protect the people, understand?" He was the chief of the public security bureau. He had just received two consecutive calls. The first was from the assistant of the chairman of Su Sheng Group, hinting that he should deal with a high school student named Ye Feng who had just been caught. He found it strange that a high school student would attract the attention of Su Sheng Group. But then a call from his superior made him break out in a cold sweat, making him repeatedly promise to bring the young man to justice and punish him severely. From the tone of his superior, it seemed that the person the young man had offended was someone even his superior dared not offend, showing great respect. Chief Liu was puzzled. What could a high school student have done to offend someone? Could he have gone mad and really tried to rape the daughter of a big shot? Of course, Chief Liu was just thinking this to himself. He didn't dare to ask his superior what was really going on, only following orders. "Of course, Chief Liu!" The man with the hooked nose was delighted when he heard Chief Liu's words. It seemed this young man had offended quite a few people. Rape? They were going to make his life miserable. A few years in prison would be the norm! Chief Liu then whispered a few words in the man with the hooked nose's ear and didn't leave, standing aside, clearly paying great attention to Ye Feng. The man with the hooked nose nodded, turned to the middle-aged police officer, and said, "Search again." The two police officers approached Ye Feng. "Search again?" Ye Feng frowned. He vaguely heard Chief Liu mention something about "three grasses," and he immediately understood. When he first came in, they had taken his counterfeit phone. If they searched again, wouldn't they take his check for 200,000, the Golden Leaf Grass, and the ancient Dragon Sword Ring? That wouldn't do. He needed to take action!
