Chapter 90

090

Early in the morning, Yang Chen felt this was not a good omen as he entered the police station. At the very least, he couldn't bring breakfast to his female colleagues in the office, and he would surely face a barrage of criticism when he returned.

With handcuffs on his hands, under the watch of two police officers, Yang Chen and An Xin entered the West District Police Station together.

Yang Chen looked at An Xin, who was hesitating to say anything, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Did you deliberately set this up, or did I just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time?"

An Xin felt a bit embarrassed to look at Yang Chen. At this point, it was clear to everyone what had happened.

"I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time..." An Xin replied softly.

A famous five-star hotel like the Biyun Hotel would never be randomly searched by the police for prostitution. The fact that Yang Chen was caught red-handed on his first attempt clearly indicated that An Xin had planned this.

A woman giving her first time to a man she met for the first time at a nightclub, then calling the police to catch them in the act, and even worse, notifying the media!

Yang Chen thought that either An Xin was crazy, or the world was crazy—maybe he himself was crazy, how could such a "big pie" fall right on his head!?

Sometimes, being too attractive to women isn't a good thing, Yang Chen thought to himself, a bit narcissistically.

Although he didn't know the exact reason why An Xin did this, Yang Chen wasn't particularly interested in finding out. He was more focused on how to deal with the series of troubles that would follow.

"Stop whispering! Hurry up!" a police officer urged.

Yang Chen turned around and smiled, "Comrade officer, you've worked hard. I won't whisper anymore. I'll speak louder, but I can't hurry, or I might run away, and you'll have to catch me again."

Seeing the police officers' faces turn sour, An Xin, who had been in a terrible mood, couldn't help but chuckle. This man's reaction was truly strange. Even though she had used him and got him into trouble, potentially ruining his reputation, he could still joke with the police. If he wasn't incredibly broad-minded, he must be incredibly devious.

Inside the police station, the two were about to be interrogated. A familiar figure was already standing by a nearby desk.

Dressed in a dark green police inspector's uniform, Cai Yan still looked as graceful and spirited as ever. Her crossed arms made her ample chest even more prominent. If it weren't for the icy expression on her beautiful face, she would be the perfect candidate for a uniform seduction film.

"Inspector Cai, we meet again," Yang Chen greeted her with a bitter smile. The place of their meeting was less than ideal.

Cai Yan sneered, "You've really improved. Last time, you were in with the mafia. This time, you were caught playing with a woman in a hotel. I hope your wife has a big enough heart, or I won't mind punishing you on her behalf."

Cai Yan had just started work when she heard from her subordinates that a man and a woman were caught in a special relationship at the Biyun Hotel. Since the woman's identity was somewhat sensitive, the case was immediately reported to her, the chief. To her surprise, the man turned out to be Yang Chen! She had never liked him, and now he was married to her good friend Lin Ruoxi. With his wife in the hospital, he dared to do such a thing behind her back. Cai Yan was almost ready to flip the table in anger and decided to personally handle the case.

Yang Chen paid no attention to Cai Yan's harsh words and smiled at An Xin, "This is Chief Cai, a good friend of my wife." He looked very familiar, as if they were old acquaintances.

An Xin was taken aback. She didn't expect the man she had seduced to be married! It seemed this guy was out for a fling himself, not a good man at all... Thinking about this, her guilt lessened. Seeing Yang Chen still smiling and introducing the beautiful police officer to her, she thought this man had incredibly thick skin. She forced a smile, "Hello, Chief Cai."

"Hmph," Cai Yan naturally didn't look kindly on An Xin. Women are always jealous of those who match their beauty, especially a woman with a bad first impression. "Miss An, you are a person of status. You have a good appearance, yet you do such a dirty thing, seducing a married man and becoming an adulterous couple. Do you have any respect for the law!?"

An Xin smiled seductively, "That's why we were caught, and even photographed by the media. No one is perfect, Chief Cai. If you want to interrogate me, I will fully cooperate."

"Shameless," Cai Yan sneered. "Don't think that just because your family will back you up, we will let this slide. I want the truth."

Yang Chen raised his hand and said, "The truth is simple. We both drank too much, and in the heat of the moment, we couldn't control ourselves and did something that went beyond normal friendship."

A young police officer who was taking notes slammed his hand on the table, "Stop lying! Prostitution is prostitution! If you sold yourself, you sold yourself! Tell the truth!"

Yang Chen sighed in frustration and explained patiently, "Brother officer, I'm not lying. I didn't pay this woman after I was done with her, so it's not prostitution. She didn't even manage to sell herself!"

"You!"

The other police officers present couldn't help but almost laugh out loud. Even An Xin, who felt the conversation was too explicit, blushed and glared at Yang Chen. She wondered why she hadn't noticed how shameless this man was the night before, but... it was kind of fun.

Cai Yan sensed the atmosphere was off and coughed, and the police officers immediately quieted down.

"Don't try to win with words. You're a thug and a scoundrel. We can't argue with you, and we won't," Cai Yan stared coldly at Yang Chen, disdainfully. "But today's incident has been reported to the media. I think even if we don't give you two a taste of our power, your families and friends won't let this go."

An Xin, looking relaxed, twirled her long hair and said calmly, "Chief Cai, if there are no more questions, I think we can talk to our lawyers first."

"Your lawyers are already here," Cai Yan said, trying to control her anger, and pointed to two balding men who had just entered the room.

One of them was familiar to Yang Chen. It was Lawyer Zhang, who had taken him out of the station the first time he was brought in. Seeing him, Yang Chen knew Cai Yan had already told Lin Ruoxi. The other man with a briefcase was probably An Xin's lawyer.

Seeing the lawyers enter, Cai Yan didn't have time to deal with the two of them and began to negotiate with the lawyers, detailing the case.

Yang Chen seized the opportunity to ask An Xin, "Miss An, can you explain the cause of all this? I may not have risked my life for you, but I've already spent a fortune on you. You should at least tell me why I'm being played."

An Xin pouted, puzzled, "What fortune? I remember paying for the room when we left the hotel. You only bought me a drink, don't exaggerate!"

"You're wrong. How can vulgar money compare to the... essence of a man worth a fortune?"

Seeing Yang Chen's mischievous smile, An Xin immediately understood what he meant by "essence" and couldn't help but pinch his soft waist, blushing, "You! You kept me up all night without any protection. If I get pregnant, I'll show up at your door with the child! See what your wife does!"

"Well... what can I do? I'll take both the woman and the child!" Yang Chen said in a domineering tone.

An Xin smiled, "Save it. Once this is over, we'll go our separate ways. If you want me to have your child, you'll have to prove yourself first."

"Really? So cold... Wait, you still haven't told me why this happened," Yang Chen pressed.

An Xin hesitated, then lowered her head, blushing, "This time I came back to China, my father forced me to marry a guy I don't like. I didn't want to marry, but I couldn't easily change their minds, so..."

"So you chose to give your body to a stranger and use this to force the man to become a victim of your plan, ruining your own reputation to make the other party give up on marrying you," Yang Chen said, laughing and crying at the same time. He wondered why he always encountered such situations, rubbed his face, and said dryly, "Luckily, you're a beautiful woman worth the price. Otherwise, I would have lost a lot."

An Xin thought Yang Chen would be furious after hearing this absurd story, but he still had a carefree expression. She asked cautiously, "Aren't you angry? I deceived you and caused you so much trouble."

Yang Chen laughed, "This isn't the first time I've been to the police station. Besides, reputation can't be eaten. What you did didn't really harm anything I truly care about. I think I gained more. I got to be with a beautiful virgin for free and don't have to take responsibility."

"Hmph, I see. Your skin is so thick, it's unbelievable. I really feel like I wasted my virginity on you," An Xin said, pretending to be angry and waving her small fist.

Before they could chat more, Cai Yan and the two lawyers approached. Cai Yan said, somewhat dejectedly, "You two can leave."

After all, both lawyers were prominent, and Cai Yan didn't have enough evidence, so she had to let them go.

However, as they were about to leave, Cai Yan sneered at Yang Chen, "Just wait for your divorce with Ruoxi. She knows everything."

Yang Chen touched his nose. He never really felt like he was in a real marriage. Even if Lin Ruoxi knew, it would probably just be a passing cloud.

After leaving the two lawyers to handle the aftermath, the two who had just entered the police station walked out of the station gate under the disdainful gazes of the police officers.

As soon as they reached the parking lot, Yang Chen and An Xin saw two black S-class Mercedes-Benzes parked nearby.

An Xin's face turned a bit pale, and she smiled bitterly, "They came so fast."
