"Fuck, are you serious? Am I supposed to be scared of you, woman?"

Qin Fang was also taken aback; he really hadn't expected this policewoman to be so hot-tempered. Although his words had been a bit harsh, she had actually lashed out at him directly.

But was Qin Fang the type of person to shy away from trouble?

Clearly, he wasn't!

He had always been cooperative with the police operation, so he wasn't handcuffed. As soon as Officer Luo Xi made her move, Qin Fang suddenly kicked the table leg, and the chair under his butt immediately screeched alarmingly, but at the same time, he rapidly retreated backward.

By the time Luo Xi had launched her kick, she hadn't managed to hit Qin Fang. Suddenly finding nothing under her foot, she leaned forward slightly.

If it had been just that, Luo Xi, with her balance, would have quickly stabilized herself. However, at this very moment, Qin Fang suddenly reached out, grabbed Luo Xi's long, sturdy leg, and with a gentle pull, she stumbled as her already unstable body involuntarily fell to the side.

Qin Fang was the kind of person who loved to argue and kick someone when they were down. The policewoman Luo Xi had been rude to him, so naturally, he felt no need to be polite in return,

"Ah..."

Luo Xi hadn't expected that after she struck preemptively, a seemingly defenseless Qin Fang would subdue her in one move, and with another move, he directly plunged Luo Xi into a sorry state.

Because Qin Fang held one of her legs, Luo Xi couldn't maintain her balance and inevitably fell to the side, right where the interrogation table was, and her head was heading straight for the corner of the table.

If she hit it squarely, Luo Xi might save her face but certainly not her head; she could be severely injured.

Even a tough woman like Luo Xi, when faced with such danger, instinctively let out a cry like any ordinary woman and closed her eyes, bracing for the impact.

Squeak, squeak, squeak~~

At that moment, the piercing noise sounded again, and Luo Xi felt her leg being let go, falling down, with the vague sensation of it touching the ground.

Luo Xi was almost in despair; she was acutely aware that even with both feet on the ground, it was impossible to regain her balance at this point. Her body's angle was already below 60 degrees, and she was about to hit the table.

Bang~~

The anticipated collision arrived!

Luo Xi felt her head buzz, her ears seemed to go deaf in an instant, her body tensed slightly, and her mind turned into mush, as if she had completely lost the ability to think.

But in reality...

Qin Fang sat in the chair, arms extended, supporting Luo Xi's body. With his formidable Strength, catching Luo Xi, who weighed just over a hundred pounds, was nothing to him; he caught her with ease.

"Tsk, tsk, not a bad touch, even if it's a bit small..."

"Ah..."

Luo Xi snapped back to reality almost instantly. Her face first turned as red as snow, but then it became purple as if it were sauce, because the man who had spoken was none other than the Qin Fang she had wanted to beat up.

"You hooligan! I'm going to kill you..."

This time, Luo Xi was even more furiously angry. She paused mid-step, and her delicate fist immediately thundered out, vaguely resembling a tiger descending the mountain.

Just then, the door of the interrogation room opened, and a burly middle-aged officer walked in. He barked sharply as he entered; he was Tan Huabing, the Jiujiang City police chief and the reinforcements the younger officer had called for earlier.

"Luo Xi, stop!"

Seeing his own subordinate, the gem of the criminal police team, Luo Xi, acting like she was out of her mind, ready to fight Qin Fang to the death, Director Tan's face changed dramatically as he shouted sternly.

At that moment, Luo Xi's fist was less than half a meter away from Qin Fang, and if she continued, she might actually hit him, which would truly spell trouble.

"Director, he..."

Luo Xi's face changed, and she yearned to punch that smug smile off his face, but with the director having spoken, she couldn't disobey even if she wanted to.

"Mr. Qin, I am Tan Huabing, the director of the city bureau. Are you hurt?"

Only when Luo Xi stopped did Director Tan finally breathe a long sigh of relief that nothing serious had happened. He immediately addressed Qin Fang very politely.

"My skin is thick enough that I'm not hurt, but I'd really feel terrible if Officer Luo got injured by accident..."

The smile remained on Qin Fang's face, and although Luo Xi saw it as the kind of provoking smirk that begged for a punch, Qin still teased the fiercely glaring beauty in front of him.

"You... We'll see about that! Humph..."

Luo Xi really wanted to punch Qin Fang, but with Director Tan there, she couldn't very well start a fight and could only leave with an angry threat, slamming the door behind her without affording the director any face.

"Haha... That's just how Luo is, sometimes a bit impulsive. Mr. Qin, please don't take it to heart!"

Director Tan's face was a picture of amusement, but he didn't make any excessive moves, instead he put in a good word for Luo Xi.

"Officer Luo is rather upfront, and always upholds justice. But I do hope she can correct her work attitude in the future..." Qin Fang was admittedly puzzled, but he didn't ask further and instead played the bigger man.

"By the way, Director Tan, how is the case progressing? I wonder about my status as a suspect..."

However, Luo Xi was just a minor interlude. What really concerned Qin Fang was whether he could quickly leave this place, as he was eager to rest and had plans to head to the mountains early in the morning.

"The forensic department already has results. The time of the victim's death doesn't match the time when Mr. Qin was there, and the death occurred elsewhere. Also, we didn't find anything suspicious in Mr. Qin's car, so your status as a suspect has been cleared. You can leave at any time..."

Director Tan immediately spoke very politely, giving Qin Fang a briefing of part of the case situation.

"Oh, that's good... What about my friend?"

Qin Fang nodded. He quite understood why Tan Huabing would say such things—it was probably because they found the National Security ID Qin Fang had in his car.

Of course, there could be other reasons, but those were beyond Qin's knowledge.

"Miss Cai is already waiting outside. You can leave anytime, and you may take your car. I've arranged for it to be cleaned..."

Director Tan was quite considerate, not only clearing Qin Fang's suspicion but also having his car cleaned, as one couldn't very well let an Audi be associated with a bloody mess.

"Then, thank you very much, Director Tan..."

Qin Fang expressed his gratitude politely and then left the interrogation room with the company of Director Tan to finally see Cai Qing in the lobby.

By then, Cai Qing's emotions had stabilized quite a bit; at the very least, her eyes no longer held the fear they did before. (To be continued.
