Zhuo Yating’s beautiful eyes widened, then she quickly looked down at the interrogation chair.
At this glance, Zhuo Yating was again taken aback, and her eyes widened even further.
Because the iron metal cuffs on the interrogation chair, designed to shackle a prisoner’s hands, were now broken off!
You have to understand that the metal cuffs on the interrogation chair were very sturdy and solid. In the past, no matter how big and burly, no matter how fierce and evil the criminals were, as soon as they were shackled to the chair, they had to sit still; they couldn’t move a muscle!
Moreover, once a criminal’s hands were cuffed, to remove them from the cuffs without unlocking them the proper way was impossible.
Even if one tried with all their human strength, they would die trying but would never break free.
And now, Chen Feng had actually broken those iron cuffs with his bare hands—how much strength would that require?
This involuntary recollection made Zhuo Yating think of the night when Chen Feng kicked down the walls of the criminal gang’s headquarters.
Thinking of that incident and then looking at the current situation,
Zhuo Yating felt Chen Feng was completely a monster, a supernatural being.
How could a normal person have such strength?
At this moment, Zhuo Yating was beginning to feel regret.
Had she known, she would have prepared more thoroughly before luring Chen Feng here.
What she had prepared now would undoubtedly work on a regular person.
But against Chen Feng, this devil, she really didn’t have a way to deal with him.
With this thought, Zhuo Yating felt annoyed.
How could she have forgotten Chen Feng’s immense strength before?
Now, the cooked duck was about to fly away again!
"I say Captain Zhuo, if you have any more tricks up your sleeve, use them all now. After this village, there won’t be such a shop."
"Also, for the several times I’ve stood you up before, that’s my bad. To make it up to you, whatever you want to do today, I’ll cooperate with you. Additionally, I can satisfy one small wish of yours as compensation. Are you satisfied with that?"
Chen Feng’s mouth curled up slightly as he spoke, smiling at Zhuo Yating’s shocked face.
"Then... then loosen the whip and let me lash you twice to vent my anger!"
Zhuo Yating ground her teeth and said.
"That won’t do, I’m not a masochist. If you’re into BDSM, go find someone else. I refuse this request!"
Chen Feng shook his head with a smile.
"Weren’t you saying that you’d cooperate with whatever I want to do today? Not agreeing to even this small request, you’re breaking your promise!"
Zhuo Yating pouted her lips slightly, speaking with a bit of grievance.
"I only said I’d cooperate with you. But now you want to hit me; of course, I won’t agree to that. Make another request!"
Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Then... then tell me the location of the begging syndicate’s headquarters, that should be okay, right?"
Zhuo Yating pondered for a moment before saying.
This request was much more reasonable compared to the previous one.
Zhuo Yating was certain Chen Feng wouldn’t turn her down.
And if she really could get the address of the begging syndicate’s headquarters, then Chen Feng’s previous act of leaving her hanging wouldn’t matter anymore.
However, upon hearing her request, Chen Feng shook his head and said with a playful look, "About that... I’m afraid I can’t satisfy you!"
Zhuo Yating, completely baffled, then said to Chen Feng, "Don’t tell me you don’t know. The criminal you caught earlier had already told me, his mobile phone can pinpoint the location of the headquarters, and that phone was taken by you. Are you saying it wasn’t?"
"His mobile phone is indeed with me!"
Chen Feng nodded and said with a smile.
"Then why won’t you tell me the location of the begging syndicate’s headquarters? Could it be that they’ve offered you some advantage, and you intend to shield them? Chen Feng, I warn you, if that’s the case, I won’t let you go today no matter what, even if I have to pay a severe price!"
Zhuo Yating glared at Chen Feng, her face cold as she spoke.
"Miss, aren’t you letting your imagination run a bit wild? How did it turn into me wanting to cover for them? If I really wanted to protect them, would I have delivered that scar-faced man into your hands? That would just be courting trouble for no reason!"
Chen Feng gave Zhuo Yating a white look and said, clearly annoyed.
He found that Zhuo Yating could be really bizarre at times, jumping to conclusions about him covering for criminals, which was utterly ridiculous.
"You make some sense. So, if that’s the case, then hurry up and tell me the location of the begging syndicate’s headquarters. I need to report it to the higher-ups as soon as possible, so the police can establish a task force and break this case as quickly as possible. That way more people can be spared from harm, which would really be beneficial to the public. You wouldn’t refuse this, right?"
Zhuo Yating nodded and looked at Chen Feng, speaking earnestly.
"I naturally wouldn’t refuse this point. However, it’s likely your team won’t be able to crack this case!"
Chen Feng’s mouth curved into a slight smirk as he spoke.
Zhuo Yating was shocked, and then quickly asked Chen Feng, "Why not?"
"Because that mobile phone has been completely disabled and using it to locate the begging syndicate’s headquarters is now impossible!"
Chen Feng said with a laugh.
His statement was actually correct.
Because he had already wiped out the headquarters of the begging syndicate, the phone naturally became useless.
The reason he did not tell Zhuo Yating directly was just to tease her and teach her a lesson so that she wouldn’t dare to play little tricks in front of him again.
As expected, after hearing Chen Feng’s words, Zhuo Yating’s face immediately turned sour, her complexion pale as a ghost.
It should be noted that, prior to this, she had placed all her hopes on that mobile phone.
As long as she had the phone, she could use it to locate the begging syndicate’s lair and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
By doing so, she would not only slap Deputy Captain Liu Qi hard in the face, but also secure her position within the criminal police team once and for all.
After all, since she had joined the police force, some of the veterans, along with others, had always treated her as just a pretty face, regarding her with a critical eye.
Especially after joining the criminal police team, everyone looked down on her, thinking that such an attractive woman was unsuitable for such a dangerous job as a criminal detective.
But Zhuo Yating was a proud woman, and she refused to concede defeat.
She had been striving to prove herself, to demonstrate that she wasn’t just a pretty face.
She particularly wanted the recognition from everyone in the police department and, like her idol, Captain Zhou Bohou of the criminal police team, to be respected by all.
That was Zhuo Yating’s dream and goal!
