The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 70: Continuing the Operation


Watching Zhao Chen, who seemed half-dead just a moment ago, suddenly become full of life, Shi Jiaxin and Wang Qiang were left speechless, internally sighing: Truly, there's always a bad guy to deal with another bad guy.

This analogy might be somewhat inappropriate because Xiao Feng doesn't exactly qualify as a bad guy, but it fits the situation well.

When dealing with someone like Zhao Chen, conventional methods don't work; you need to use alternative measures, and Xiao Feng always has plenty of such tools at his disposal.

Xiao Feng walked into the interrogation room, turned off the camera, and remained silent from start to finish.

Zhao Chen immediately became nervous: "What are you trying to do? This is a police station, if you mess around, I can..."

At this point, he couldn't continue because Zhao Chen realized he had no leverage over Xiao Feng.

At this moment, Xiao Feng was the one wielding the knife, and Zhao Chen was just a piece of meat on the chopping block, ready to be cut.

Shi Jiaxin seemed to realize something and asked suddenly: "You said earlier that Miao Youmin extorted over ten million from you, do you have any evidence?"

Zhao Chen instinctively wanted to deny it, but before he could speak, he felt a chill, as if he had fallen into an icy river, the cold penetrating to his bones.

He shivered as he glanced at Xiao Feng, realizing the source of his coldness was Xiao Feng's gaze, and he almost mentally collapsed then and there.

Under such immense psychological pressure, Zhao Chen hurriedly said: "I-I'll talk, starting five years ago, Miao Youmin extorted from me over thirty times, each time the amount was..."

However, at the crucial moment, the door to the interrogation room clicked open again.

Everyone looked towards the door, and saw Miao Youmin walking in expressionlessly, asking Wang Qiang: "Is this guy still refusing to confess the truth?"

Before Wang Qiang could reply, Shi Jiaxin already stood up angrily: "If Director Miao hadn't come, he would have confessed the truth by now."

"What do you mean by that?" Miao Youmin snorted coldly, ever since he learned Shi Jiaxin had significant background, he didn't dare to say anything unpleasant anymore, nor did he dare to use his authority to pressure her.

Shi Jiaxin said bluntly: "I meant exactly what I said, if Director Miao has comprehension issues, you might consider going back to school for a redo."

Miao Youmin's facial muscles twitched, but he still didn't dare to say much more. Upon seeing the camera turned off, he immediately shouted at Wang Qiang: "Who told you to turn off the machine, does this comply with interrogation procedures?"

Wang Qiang almost wanted to cry. Damn, you really know how to pick the easy targets, why don't you dare speak like this to Forensic Shi?

Xiao Feng turned to Miao Youmin: "If you're really worried about what we might find out, you'd better keep an eye on Zhao Chen 24/7, otherwise, who knows when he might be taken in for questioning again."

After speaking, Xiao Feng ignored the grim-looking Miao Youmin, and strode out of the interrogation room, followed closely by Shi Jiaxin and Wang Qiang.

Miao Youmin gave Zhao Chen a meaningful look, then stepped out of the interrogation room as well. He had a premonition that this time he might really be doomed, the question was just a matter of time.

So before things completely spiraled out of control, he had to start considering his future options.

"Brother Feng, are we continuing our operation tonight?" Wang Qiang asked, somewhat expectantly.

Initially, he felt a bit embarrassed, after all, such credit felt unearned and a bit undeserving.

But after seeing four colleagues regretting so much they wanted to bash their heads against the wall, that embarrassment diminished. Gains won by skill, what's there to blush about?

Some people wish they could get such opportunities!

"Of course we're continuing," Xiao Feng nodded and replied.

As soon as he said that, people from both sides of the office area swarmed over, all eager to express their desire to join the action team.

"Brother Feng, can you take me with you?"

"Brother Feng, you remember me, right? I was the one who offered you a cigarette when you first arrived at the station."

"Don't listen to them, Brother Feng, I'm the best you can take, I'm obedient and trustworthy. You tell me to go east, I definitely won't go west."

Surrounded, Xiao Feng chuckled wryly and said: "Stop fighting, anyone can volunteer, we'll gather in the meeting room after work tonight."

With those words, applause exploded, cheers successively echoed.

"Brother Feng, you're like my real brother from now on!"

"Brother Feng is truly righteous, never forgetting everyone when there's something good."

"Everyone sees it, right? Brother Feng trusts us so much, we must not disappoint his expectations."

For a moment, Xiao Feng felt like he was in the spotlight, even more than when Song Keren's welcome ceremony took place.

After squeezing out from the crowd, Shi Jiaxin pulled Xiao Feng aside.

"Are you really planning to act with so many people?" Shi Jiaxin asked with some concern, "Don't forget, there are quite a few people within the station who are on Miao Youmin's side, isn't this just placing spies beside you?"

Xiao Feng shook his head and sighed: "Don't worry about this. I dared to agree because I have my own plans."

"I'm just concerned about you, what's with that attitude?" Shi Jiaxin said angrily.

"Oh?" Xiao Feng said with a hint of a smile, "Then can you tell me why you're concerned about me?"

"I..." Shi Jiaxin was suddenly taken aback, blushing as she stammered for a long time before explaining: "Because we are now comrades in the same trench."

Xiao Feng took two steps back: "Come on, we're not in the same trench. In the matter with Miao Youmin, you and Song Keren are involved because of work, part of your duty. But I'm here because of personal vendetta."

"At least we have a common enemy," Shi Jiaxin countered, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?"

"You're wrong; the enemy of my enemy might still be an enemy..." Xiao Feng replied flatly.

Shi Jiaxin immediately felt a bit frustrated. She realized Xiao Feng was deliberately arguing, treating all her good intentions as nonsense.

"Finish your training plan for today," Xiao Feng patted Shi Jiaxin on the shoulder, offering advice: "If you can't use your brain effectively, use it less, otherwise you'll only harm yourself."

"So my brain's not effective, huh?" Shi Jiaxin pulled a sharp knife from her pocket and sneered: "Let me dissect it and see what your brain looks like compared to mine."

Seeing the bad turn, Xiao Feng bolted, shouting while running: "Like attracts like, that's true. Song Keren burned bridges, now even you're starting to turn against me."

Shi Jiaxin said nothing, simply chasing Xiao Feng relentlessly.

She was genuinely angry, thinking she'd been kind, but not only did this jerk not appreciate it, he intensified his mockery of her intelligence.

This was truly unbearable, even the most patient would be driven to the edge!

Thus, out of sheer frustration, Shi Jiaxin straightforwardly drew her knife.

However, to outsiders, this scene seemed like Shi Jiaxin and Xiao Feng were once again engaging in a playful bout of bickering, teasing as before.

One police officer voiced a reflective remark: "They say hitting is caring and scolding is love; even kicking when in deep love, she's already pulled out a knife, must be some deep feelings here!"

"Yeah, yeah," those around nodded in agreement.

Xiao Feng would have been lucky not to hear these words; if he had, he might have rushed over to beat these guys up.

You ever seen people express affection like this?!
