The police officer continued to roar at me. I looked at him without saying a word.
His smile gradually turned sinister. âDonât think we canât do anything to you because youâre young. Let me tell you, even if the Emperor of Heaven comes today, you are not leaving this place until you admit to your crimes! Stop wasting everyoneâs time. Hurry up and tell me. You were at the nightclub because you were prostituting yourself, werenât you?â
I stared at him with widened eyes.?Where does that even come from? Did you even do any investigation??Pity that Iâve already decided not to speak or Iâd get into a debate with this incredulous man.
The man glanced at the time and his brows furrowed deeper. On the other hand, I became more at ease and confident.
When he slammed on the table again, the door opened from outside. Another officer came in. The man stood up to salute the new arrival, âCap, Captain Nie!â
Captain Nieâs eyes fell on me and I stared back at him fearlessly.
âCaptain Nie, we arrested this girl at the nightclub. Someone reported that there was activities of prostitution at the nightclub. We went to the scene and caught all the suspicious people but this girl is the most suspicious. Our tech people canât even enter her laptop. There must be something illegalâ¦â
âYou got the wrong person, let her go.â Captain Nie interrupted his chatter. The manâs words were stuck in his throat. âDid you not hear me? Let her go!â Captain Nie repeated with impatience.
âButâ¦â The man still wanted to argue.
Captain Nie said, âThe girlâs lawyer is already waiting outside the door. Do you want to talk to her lawyer? Heâs ready to serve you a lawyerâs letter!â
âWait, they want to sue me? But why?â The manâs face darkened. âOn what basis? I was only acting to the law!â
I commented, âDoes your face not hurt lying like that?â
âShut up!â He charged over and swung his fist at me. I didnât even move. His fist stopped before my nose. I challenged. âWhy did you stop? Looks like you do know police brutality is unlawful.â
âYouâ¦â He hissed but eventually, he pulled his fist back. He had good self-control. This meant that he was an experienced dirty cop and knew how to toe the line.
I scoffed.
âWrite the report and let her go!â Captain Nie waved his hands. His voice was cold.
I stood up and shook my handcuffs at the dirty cop. I smiled proudly at him. I was trying my best to anger him. Unfortunately, he was only a paper tiger. He didnât have the courage to do anything. With the order from Captain Nie, he had no choice but to let me go.
I rubbed my sore wrists and smiled at him. âOfficer, Iâll be leaving then. See you later!â
I walked out the door and chanced upon Captain Nie who was standing there. I bowed to him. âThank you.â
He sighed under his breath. He held the door open for me and whispered in my ear. âMiss Nan, can I ask for a favor?â
I raised my brow as I walked out.
Captain Nie closed the door behind me and whispered, âMiss Mai is not willing to leave.â
I chuckled.?The princess is really not to be trifled with.
Captain Nie was about the same height as Jing Tian. His facial features were hard and handsome, and he looked cold and stern due to his occupation. However, he had an air of righteousness.
He pursed his lips and sighed. âFor Jing Tianâs sake, please help me.â
I was shocked. âYou know Jing Tian?â
He nodded. âWe were classmates in primary school.â
I asked, âDo you two have any bad history?â
He looked at me in confusion. âOf course not. He was the one who called to come back to the station in the middle of the night.â
I smiled. âAlright. For Jing Tian, I will help you this time.â
Captain Nie sighed in relief. âI donât know who did this to you but donât worry, I will look into it and return you this favor.â
I smiled. âNo need, you owe Jing Tian the favor, not me. I will settle my problem myself.â
Captain Nie sighed. âThat is what I was trying to avoid. Jing Tianâs favor is extremely hard to return. But what can I do when I have a bunch of idiots as my officers?â
I chuckled. Now I was certain this man was Jing Tianâs real friend.
