Chen Jianguo glanced at the departing Feng Jiao and immediately looked toward Zhang Youchen, giving him a meaningful look.

Zhang Youchen caught Chen Jianguo's glance and a cold smile appeared on his face. He turned abruptly to Ye Xiao and said, "Strip! Why aren't you stripping anymore?"

Ye Xiao, being clever, had already understood from the expressions of Chen Jianguo and Zhang Youchen that this situation was highly unfavorable for him.

"Hehe, no more stripping, no more stripping, Officer Zhang. Look, I'm really being wronged here. I have no idea which idiot made up the accusation that I was stealing cars. I'm truly an employee of Blue Star Technology, and even the dedicated driver for Xia Mingyue, the general manager of Blue Star Technology."

"Kid, I've seen many thieves, but never one as talkative as you. Let me tell you, it was someone from Blue Star Technology who reported you to the police. Moreover, the person who provided the clue is already on their way to the Guard Bureau. Besides, you claim to be from Blue Star Technology, so tell me, what's the phone number for Blue Star Technology? You could completely call them right now to confirm it, so we can verify. You should understand, as policemen, we would never wrong a good person, but..."

Zhang Youchen said this with an increasingly wily smile, continuing, "as for the bad ones, we will definitely not let them go, no matter how powerful their background. We must bring them to justice. And you, you're just a petty thief."

"I'm not a thief, I've told you how many times, ah, Officer Zhang, why are you taking out handcuffs?" Ye Xiao looked at Zhang Youchen approaching him with handcuffs, more puzzled.

Zhang Youchen heard Ye Xiao's words, chuckled coldly and then said, "Stop the nonsense, reach out your hands."

"Huh?" Ye Xiao was slightly taken aback by what Zhang Youchen said. What was this policeman up to? Was he really going to handcuff him? Ye Xiao thought about resisting, but then decided against it, realizing that he was already at the Guard Bureau and that the person who reported him would soon arrive. If Xia Mingyue noticed that he hadn't returned after a long time, she would definitely find a way to look for him. So Ye Xiao felt he just needed to wait and someone would come to save him; he really didn't need to worry.

Ye Xiao obediently reached out his hands, initially thinking Zhang Youchen wanted to cuff both of his hands. However, to his surprise, Zhang Youchen only cuffed one of his hands and then pulled him backward.

There was nothing Ye Xiao could do, so he cooperated and followed.

However, when they reached the back wall of the interrogation room, Ye Xiao saw fixed handles on the wall.

"Come here!" Zhang Youchen commanded coldly.

Seeing these handles, Ye Xiao immediately understood; this Officer Zhang was trying to set him up.

"Officer Zhang, is this necessary? I'm not even confirmed as a criminal yet," Ye Xiao looked at Zhang Youchen.

"What? Thinking of resisting? Or assaulting a police officer? You know what kind of crime that is in the Guard Bureau?" Zhang Youchen spoke righteously as if he truly was ridding the people of a menace.

Ye Xiao could only laugh bitterly. Which God had he offended? Could it be Xia Mingyue? He didn't seem to have such a major grudge with Xia Mingyue; after all, he had even saved her once before. Would she repay kindness with enmity? That seemed unlikely.

But no matter what Ye Xiao thought, with Zhang Youchen speaking this way, Ye Xiao, not wanting to cause more trouble, could only do as Zhang Youchen commanded.

Zhang Youchen successfully handcuffed Ye Xiao to the handle.

Once Ye Xiao was handcuffed to the handle, Zhang Youchen's expression turned fierce; he sneered at Ye Xiao and said, "You damn thing, you even dare to flirt with Officer Feng Jiao? Is there anything you wouldn't dare to do? If I don't teach you a lesson today, who knows how many people you, this thief, would harass in the future."

Zhang Youchen then delivered a heavy punch to Ye Xiao's waist. To Zhang, this punch was full of force. However, Ye Xiao was no ordinary man, being a Martial Artist close to Earth Rank under normal conditions. His body was as strong as iron, barely feeling any pain, rather feeling sort of a massage!

But to cooperate with Zhang Youchen, Ye Xiao had to cry out in pain, putting on a deeply pained expression.

"Stop hitting me, I can't take it anymore, Mr. Policeman. I'm really not a thief, and I truly didn't harass Feng Jiao. Even though I would like to flirt with her, she is, after all, a beautiful police officer. Although the way she looked at me when she was leaving really thrilled me, borrowing me ten thousand guts, I wouldn't dare to vie with Officer Zhang over a girl," Ye Xiao screamed exaggeratedly.

Listening to Ye Xiao's words, Zhang Youchen became even more displeased, his mouth claiming he wouldn't dare, yet harboring thoughts of flirting with Feng Jiao—this was utterly unbearable.

"You really want to flirt? I..." Zhang Youchen angrily spoke while reaching out to hit Ye Xiao again.

At that moment, Chen Jianguo cleared his throat and said, "Little Zhang, don't go too far. A lesson is enough."

Zhang Youchen immediately turned his head to look at Chen Jianguo, chuckled, and said, "Brother Chen, rest assured, I know my limits. This kid won't confess unless forced."

Chen Jianguo glanced at Ye Xiao, then lowered his head to look at the new smartphone he had purchased. This gave Ye Xiao the urge to end his own life. He had thought the police in Minghai City were already extremely bad, but he had not expected that even the Guard Bureau in the prestigious Bird City would have such people.

"What are you looking at?" Zhang Youchen, seeing Ye Xiao look at Chen Jianguo, immediately glared at Ye Xiao and said, "What are you staring at? How many people are in your gang? I don't believe you acted alone. You'd better confess quickly, otherwise, I'll make you suffer!"

Ye Xiao, with a bitter expression, said to Zhang Youchen, "Officer Zhang, I really didn't steal the car. Please don't hit me again. Look at how thin I am; I can't withstand your blows. Besides, even if I were a thief, I would still have human rights, wouldn't I?"

"Human rights? You still want human rights? Humph, if you don't confess your accomplices today, I'll beat you until you call me 'Grandpa'!" Zhang Youchen declared and went to hit Ye Xiao again.

Zhang Youchen often treated criminals this way; he had even gained experience in hitting people. At least, he avoided striking visible areas like the head, because a bruised face would serve as evidence of assault; however, hitting the body was easier to explain away.

Thus, Officer Zhang Youchen began a series of punches and kicks on Ye Xiao, who screamed pitifully in response. Despite his continuous screams, Ye Xiao actually felt quite comfortable; the beating was akin to an awkward, full-body massage.

Soon, a rather ridiculous situation emerged. Zhang Youchen, the hitter, was panting heavily, while Ye Xiao, the one being beaten, seemed calm and nonchalant, occasionally letting out a scream to play along.

"Damn, you can really take a beating, huh? Here's another chance. Will you confess? How did you steal the car?" Zhang Youchen roared at Ye Xiao.

Seeing Zhang Youchen panting from the effort of beating him, Ye Xiao felt disdain and then looked at Zhang Youchen, saying, "Officer Zhang, I'm really not a thief. My body is almost falling apart; please stop hitting me."

"Damn, still tough-talking? It looks like you're not willing to cooperate unless we get serious." Zhang Youchen said and actually pulled out an electric baton from under the interrogation table, flipping the switch, which made a sizzling sound.

Ye Xiao looked sternly at the electric baton and then at Zhang Youchen.

He cursed inwardly. These police were abusing their power and harming the populace.

Ye Xiao had made up his mind—if this guy really tried to use the electric baton on him, he would not hold back anymore. If things got out of control, he would present his special identification from the Flame Dragon Team.

However, he did not want to reveal his identity unless it was absolutely necessary, so he kept his credentials hidden for now.

"Officer Zhang, you have already beaten me for so long and now threaten me with this, are you truly trying to make me confess under duress?" Ye Xiao looked at Zhang Youchen, his voice turning icy. "You should know that using torture is illegal."

"Ha ha, is that so? But don't forget, you are a thief right now. You don't deserve police treatment. Giving you a little punishment... I don't think anyone would dare to object," Zhang Youchen said, approaching Ye Xiao, apparently preparing to administer an electric shock.

However, just as Zhang Youchen got close to Ye Xiao and sinisterly attempted to shock him, Ye Xiao was ready. At the crucial moment, he was prepared to take drastic action against this disgrace of the police force.

Just at that critical moment, the door of the interrogation room was suddenly opened.

Zhang Youchen, hearing the door open, was startled and quickly turned off the electric baton, turning to look at the door!

Standing at the door were several people—Feng Jiao, who had left earlier, along with Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing, and two others. One was a dark-skinned, stalwart man in a crisply pressed police uniform, and the other...

Ye Xiao's gaze fixed on the other person—an incredibly beautiful girl.

While beauty alone wouldn't generally captivate Ye Xiao, since Xia Mingyue, Fang Jing, and Feng Jiao were no less appealing, what if this girl was the same one Ye Xiao had saved on the train?

Indeed, the girl accompanying Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing was none other than Jiang Miaoke, whom Ye Xiao had rescued on the train.
