Chapter 77

Actually, the person most 'shocked' by Wang Li's appearance was not Xiao Sheng, who had harbored fantasies about her 'two sisters,' but Tong Tong, who was sitting cautiously beside Xiao Sheng! Tong Tong had always felt good about her own conditions. Even when Xiao Sheng said she was 'small,' she would console herself that it was just a country bumpkin without discernment. She had even stood in front of a mirror taller than a person while bathing, carefully admiring her figure. In her view, although the two mounds on her chest were not as 'majestic' as her cousin's, they were still outstanding! However, today, when Wang Li appeared before Xiao Sheng and herself with a chest that looked like a pair of balloons, a deep sense of inferiority filled the heart of this eighteen-year-old girl!

Glancing at Xiao Sheng's face, which was twisted in an extremely distorted smile, Tong Tong, for some reason, felt a surge of anger. She defiantly raised her head and subconsciously puffed out her chest, regretting that she hadn't listened to her friends' advice to stuff melons in her bra today.

In contrast to Xiao Sheng's ease, Wang Li's heart, which she herself didn't understand why it was nervous, was in turmoil. After inquiring about Xiao Sheng's injuries and pressing for details about the ambush, Wang Li could easily tell from Xiao Sheng's calm narration that the situation had been perilous. Just as Wang Li was hesitating about whether to delve deeper, the police chief, Hu Quan, who had a basic understanding of the case, walked up to Xiao Sheng. Xiao Sheng, who was enjoying the care of the nurse, turned his gaze to this middle-aged man. Perhaps already aware of Xiao Sheng and Tong Tong's identities, this police chief, known as 'Hu the King of Hell,' actually wore an 'ambiguous' smile. His smile made Xiao Sheng feel a chill, a stiff and lifeless grin.

Wang Li stepped aside to introduce Hu Quan. Out of politeness, Xiao Sheng should have stood up to 'chat' a few words, but just as he was about to get up, the other party pressed down on Xiao Sheng's shoulder, offering some soothing words. From the other party's demeanor, Xiao Sheng could easily tell that this police chief had a mission!

The CEO of Huaxin's car had been attacked twice within a few days, and from the scene, it was clear that both attacks were premeditated! Such incidents would certainly cause dissatisfaction for Huaxin Group, a star enterprise that paid millions in taxes each year. If the money spent couldn't even ensure personal safety, anyone would feel uncomfortable. If this news spread, it would definitely damage the image of the Gangcheng police, and even some high-ranking officials might be implicated. Therefore, Hu Quan's attitude was entirely forced by the situation, and he had to put aside his pride to smile at a bodyguard, hoping not to worsen the situation.

Throughout, Zou Hai, standing behind Hu Quan, maintained a cold and stern gaze on the seated Xiao Sheng. The 'humiliation' Zou Hai had experienced since joining the police force was unprecedented. He didn't hate Xiao Sheng, but he now saw him as a rival, at least a romantic rival! Just from Wang Li's unusual rush to inquire about Xiao Sheng's injuries, it was clear that their relationship was not ordinary!

No matter how tough a man, once blinded by emotion, he would view his 'rival' with colored eyes. Zou Hai, who had learned from an old police officer that Xiao Sheng had the smell of alcohol, had been looking for an opportunity to strike. When Hu Quan asked a few symbolic questions about the case, and Xiao Sheng had just started to answer, Zou Hai couldn't help but interrupt and question:

"Mr. Xiao, may I ask if you had been drinking before driving home?" Hearing Zou Hai's question, Hu Quan, who had been squatting to avoid putting pressure on Xiao Sheng, couldn't help but turn and glare at Zou Hai. This unenlightened 'young master,' why bring up something unrelated? Now is the time to investigate the case, not to talk about drunk driving.

Xiao Sheng smiled and softly replied:

"Indeed, I did have a drink." Before Xiao Sheng could explain, Zou Hai, ignoring Hu Quan's gaze, seized the opportunity to ask in a leading manner:

"Can I then assume that this accident has some relation to your drunk driving, or perhaps..."

"Deputy Chief Zou..." This time, Hu Quan, who had risen in anger, directly cut off Zou Hai's attempt to continue. Faced with Hu Quan's anger, Zou Hai, though extremely displeased, closed his mouth.

Xiao Sheng slowly stood up, still smiling as he looked at Zou Hai, then pointed to the truck parked on the wrong side of the road and said softly:

"Experienced police officers can see from the truck's movements and brake marks. Do you, Deputy Chief Zou, lack this experience? As for my drunk driving, isn't that the traffic police's responsibility? As for you, who focuses on criminal cases, shouldn't you focus on solving the case? I remember the last attack was just a few days ago. In such a short time, such serious incidents have occurred repeatedly. Shouldn't the police give us an explanation?" This deftly sidestepped question left Zou Hai speechless, and even Hu Quan, standing beside him, felt a bit awkward. Clearly, Zou Hai's words had provoked the other party's anger. What seemed like a calm statement was actually a veiled threat. The police were most afraid of the situation escalating, as that would ultimately affect him, the police chief.

"Ah? Hehe, Mr. Xiao, indeed, the two consecutive incidents have caused some loss and impact to you, Mr. Chen, and Huaxin. But please believe in the police, we will solve the case as soon as possible..." Hu Quan, trying to cover up, replied to Xiao Sheng. Wang Li, seeing the tense atmosphere, quickly added a few words. Xiao Sheng, smiling and nodding, did not pursue the matter further but cooperated by taking Tong Tong to the police station to make a statement.

Afraid that Zou Hai would cause more trouble, Hu Quan directly arranged for Xiao Sheng and Tong Tong to ride in Wang Li's car, and the car contained only the three of them. Women are easier to communicate with, and Hu Quan, who was good at reading people, had already noticed the private relationship between Wang Li and Xiao Sheng. This arrangement also hoped that Xiao Sheng would let things slide.

Because Tong Tong was present, Wang Li, who was driving, did not ask many questions about the case, as there would be plenty of time and space to understand more once they arrived at the police station. Xiao Sheng, sitting in the back with Tong Tong, maintained a tacit understanding with Wang Li, softly and gently comforting Tong Tong on the way to the police station. Tong Tong, who seemed to be particularly bothered by Wang Li's 'chest,' couldn't bear to see her and Xiao Sheng exchange glances, so she didn't use phrases like 'Big Brother Sheng, I'm scared' on the way.

Knowing that Tong Tong was putting on a show, Xiao Sheng, who couldn't expose her in front of Wang Li, played along, acting like a big brother, patting Tong Tong's head and speaking with a mix of warmth. Through the rearview mirror, Wang Li saw this and felt a bit uncomfortable.
