Chapter 26

Anger!

Zhang Li was furious!

As the deputy captain of the Hongkou Branch Criminal Investigation Team, he had participated in countless cases. No matter what the case, the criminals would tremble in fear when they saw him, wishing to kneel and call him grandpa. Yet, Ye Fan not only showed no fear but also dared to argue and contradict him. How could this not make him angry?

Moreover, his subordinates were present, as well as the community police officer he had always looked down upon.

"Brat, you still dare to be defiant?"

In a fit of rage, Zhang Li barked coldly, took two quick steps, and lunged in front of Ye Fan, slapping him across the face.

"Uh..."

Perhaps they did not expect Zhang Li to resort to violence at the slightest provocation, or perhaps they did not expect him to enforce the law so brazenly. When they saw this scene, Li Bin, Wang Kai, the fat police officer, and Zhang Li's subordinates were all taken aback.

In addition to their shock, Li Bin looked at Zhang Li's back with disdain, while Wang Kai and the fat police officer wanted to help Ye Fan but felt powerless.

As for... Zhang Li's subordinates, after their initial shock, they all wore expressions of watching a show.

Some even wondered if Ye Fan would be slapped away by Zhang Li.

Would he?

The next moment.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ye Fan remained motionless, as if he had been scared stiff.

However—

Just as Zhang Li's hand was about thirty centimeters from Ye Fan's face, Ye Fan moved!

Under the light, everyone saw a shadow of a hand flash by.

Fast.

Incredibly fast!

The shadow of the hand flashed, and Ye Fan, as if performing a magic trick, grabbed Zhang Li's wrist, preventing his right hand from moving any further!

"Uh..."

This sudden turn of events left Li Bin, Wang Kai, and the fat police officer speechless.

After Zhang Li made his move, they had wondered if Ye Fan, who had crippled Gou Wei, would retaliate. The answer that emerged was different: he wouldn't!

On one hand, assaulting a police officer was a serious crime, and Ye Fan would face severe consequences. More importantly, Zhang Li had brought five criminal investigators, all armed with guns. If Ye Fan retaliated, it would be like plucking a hair from a tiger's head—suicide!

Compared to Li Bin and the others, Zhang Li's five subordinates were even more shocked!

They had never imagined that Ye Fan would dare to retaliate, especially since they all knew that Zhang Li had practiced martial arts before joining the police force and had continued to train in combat techniques after joining. His combat skills were formidable, not just in the branch but even in the entire Hanghu police force.

Now, seeing Zhang Li's wrist easily grabbed by Ye Fan, the shock they felt was unimaginable.

As everyone was stunned, Zhang Li was also surprised and even more furious: "You... you dare to resist?"

As he spoke, Zhang Li suddenly exerted force on his wrist, attempting to use a useful 'reverse lock' to counter Ye Fan's grip.

Ideally, it was a good plan, but in reality, it was far from it.

Even with Zhang Li's face turning red from exertion, he could not budge an inch. Ye Fan's grip was like a steel clamp, holding his wrist firmly in the air.

"Hisss~"

Realizing this, Zhang Li's heart was filled with shock, causing him to draw a sharp breath.

Because he knew he had encountered a tough opponent. More accurately, his combat skills were not on the same level as Ye Fan's.

Understanding this, Zhang Li regretted his rash move, but he did not show it on his face.

"Do you know the consequences of your actions?"

While regretting internally, Zhang Li glared at Ye Fan with a dark expression. Without waiting for a response, he suddenly exerted force with his foot, attempting to kick Ye Fan's ankle!

It must be said that as the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Team, Zhang Li had rich combat experience and a good understanding of psychology—his words were not meant to scare Ye Fan but to distract him and launch a surprise attack!

Only in this way could he turn the tide in a situation where his skills were inferior to Ye Fan's.

However—

He had underestimated Ye Fan's strength.

Just as Zhang Li's right foot was about to kick out, Ye Fan's left hand suddenly exerted force, twisting it!

"Crack—"

The sound of a bone breaking echoed sharply, and Zhang Li's wrist instantly snapped. The crisp sound was like a devil's wail, reverberating in the quiet interrogation room, sending shivers down everyone's spines.

The excruciating pain radiated from Zhang Li's wrist, causing his body to tremble, and his planned counterattack turned into a bubble.

"Let... let go of Captain Zhang!"

At the same time, a criminal investigator who had been watching the show snapped out of his shock, bellowed, and instinctively reached for his gun.

His response was a kick!

With everyone's faces filled with shock, Ye Fan, without a word, kicked out with his right foot, delivering a powerful kick to Zhang Li's chest.

The kick sent Zhang Li flying like a kicked football, knocking down two criminal investigators and slamming into the iron door behind him with a loud "bang." The door closed, trapping the three criminal investigators outside.

Zhang Li lay on the ground, twitching, completely incapacitated. The other two criminal investigators, who had not managed to draw their guns, were dazed and tried to struggle to their feet.

"Thump..."

Almost simultaneously, Li Bin, Wang Kai, and the fat police officer's Adam's apples moved, but their bodies remained still, as if they were petrified statues.

For the three of them, perhaps in all their years as police officers, they had never been as surprised as they were in one day.

Especially when they saw Ye Fan kick Zhang Li away and knock down two criminal investigators who were about to draw their guns, they even doubted if they were hallucinating!

"Bang—"

With a dull thud, the door was kicked open by the three criminal investigators trapped outside. Zhang Li was knocked to the side by the door, but the three criminal investigators ignored his condition and aimed their guns at Ye Fan, shouting in unison: "Don't move!"

"Put your hands on your head and get down, quickly!"

At this moment, the other two fallen criminal investigators also struggled to their feet, aiming their guns at Ye Fan.

"Don't... don't shoot!"

The sudden turn of events woke Li Bin, Wang Kai, and the fat police officer from their shock. Looking at the black gun barrels, they felt their legs trembling and cramping.

Bullets don't have eyes, and they could not guarantee that the five criminal investigators would not accidentally shoot them.

Moreover, even if they did not get hit, the bullets could ricochet off the walls in such a confined space, leaving them no place to hide.

"I don't want to be your enemy, but you must not point your guns at me."

Facing the five guns that exuded a deadly aura, Ye Fan showed no signs of tension. He calmly looked at the five nervous criminal investigators, "Of course, if you insist on pointing your guns at me, I don't mind doing something about it!"

As he spoke, a killing intent emerged!

A terrifying killing intent erupted from Ye Fan like a volcanic eruption. He seemed like a demon from the depths of hell, radiating a cold aura that made the temperature in the small interrogation room plummet.

"I'll say it again, put your hands on your head and get down!"

Sensing the terrifying killing intent from Ye Fan, the criminal investigator closest to him was extremely nervous. He tried to hide it by shouting, but his trembling hands betrayed him.

Not just him, but his colleagues were even more nervous, to the point where they could not hold their guns steady.

Swish!

Ye Fan's foot moved, and with a burst of energy from his soles, he shot toward the nearest, burly criminal investigator at an incredible speed, creating a whistling sound.

In an instant, before the burly criminal investigator could react, Ye Fan stood in front of him like a ghost.

"Uh..."

Staring at Ye Fan's calm face, which was inches away, the burly criminal investigator's mouth dropped open in shock, and he instinctively looked down.

Just one glance.

It made his legs go weak, his face pale, and cold sweat poured from his forehead!

Because... he saw that the gun in his hand had somehow ended up in Ye Fan's hand!

What happened?

The burly criminal investigator asked himself.

"Thump..."

As if to reveal the answer to the burly criminal investigator, the sound of a throat moving was heard again, and almost simultaneously, the remaining four criminal investigators involuntarily dropped their guns.

They looked at Ye Fan as if he were a monster, their minds filled with one thought: How... how did he do that??

For a moment, the small interrogation room fell silent, so quiet that the sound of everyone's rapid heartbeats and heavy breathing could be heard.

The air seemed heavy, suffocating!

"Doctor Ye... Doctor Ye, don't!"

At this moment, Wang Kai, mustering his courage, spoke to Ye Fan with a trembling voice.

Under the light, he looked at Ye Fan's proud back with concern—afraid that Ye Fan would kill Zhang Li and the others in a fit of anger.

"Someone advised me to follow the law, but I don't think you have enforced it fairly." Hearing Wang Kai's well-intentioned reminder, Ye Fan's gaze swept over the five criminal investigators.

Perhaps because of Ye Fan's shocking actions, or perhaps because his words were like a sharp dagger, piercing their most vulnerable and dirty places, none of them dared to meet Ye Fan's eyes!

Seeing this, Ye Fan did not waste any more words. He returned the gun to the burly criminal investigator and walked toward the door, leaving the man with a stunned expression.

Swish—

At the door, the three criminal investigators, as if programmed robots receiving an order, moved aside in unison.

Ye Fan left without a word, walking away unimpeded.

All the way, without any obstacles!
