Returning from the Immortal World
Chapter 128: Fly into a Rage

Chen Tao gave in as he said with a forced smile, “Officer Cheng, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but I really can’t tell you! You are a police officer, so please do not make things difficult for gatekeepers like us. I’ll take the responsibility to tell you one thing. The youth which you said to have been surrounded and ganged up, he’s not injured even in the slightest bit. He’s now safe and sound. They only had a small misunderstanding and everything has been resolved after an explanation.”

Cheng Xuemei turned around and winked to the other Criminal Police member, only then did she reply, “Captain Chen, I don’t know about the difficulties you have, but I still hope that you can tell me the truth. We are the Criminal Police, and we have the responsibility to maintain social order as well as punishing those rotten goods by law.”

Chen Tao was silent for a moment, and then slowly said, “Officer Cheng, if you really want to know the whole process of the matter, then you can investigate it! But I can tell you in advance, regardless of what results you get after the investigation, there’s not a minute of relationship with me.”

After having said that, he no longer cared about Cheng Xuemei. He turned around and walked toward the security room’s door. He knew crystal clear that if Cheng Xuemei really wanted to investigate this matter, in fact, it was very easy. But since the higher ups have already issued the command, it might be quite difficult for the Criminal Police to investigate Tang Xiu’s identity.

10 minutes later…

Several Criminal Police members were back in front of Cheng Xuemei with very strange expressions on their faces. One of them said, “Chief, we just did a thorough investigation. There was indeed a youth that was surrounded by more than 20 youth thugs, but the end result… it was not that youth who was injured, but instead…”

Upon seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Cheng Xuemei immediately asked with a sinking tone, “But what? Tell me!”

That Criminal Police member said with a forced smile, “The one who got severely injured was not that youth, but instead those 20 youth thugs. Accurately speaking, it was that youth alone who has made those thugs severely wounded. And now all those injured youth gangsters are still being treated in this hospital.”

“What joke are you playing at?” Cheng Xuemei’s eyes stared wide with disbelief written all over her face.

That Criminal Police member said in desperation, “I really am not joking with you, Chief! It’s the result of our investigation, unless we wrongly interpreted everyone’s confession, but certainly, the possibility for it to happen is almost nil.”

Alone against more than 20 people?

Cheng Xuemei’s mouth twitched a few times. The shock in her heart was like the surging tides. Strange things happened every year, but this year was particularly abnormal. She recalled Tang Xiu, a high schooler who was able to kill a criminal inside his school. She also recalled the murder case in the auto repair garage…

“Ugh……”

Whilst sighing secretly inside, Cheng Xuemei asked, “And those more than 20 injured youth thugs, have you clearly investigated their identities?”

The Criminal Police member said, “We’ve been asking around. Nearly all of these fellows have criminal records. They are the rotten apples of society. They have always been together, often picking up fights, and have done a lot of bad things. And in addition, they are the underlings of the Rivers and Mountains Real Estate Company’s Big Boss, Tie Long.”

“Tie Long? He’s involved with a lot of homicide cases, but yet there’s not a thing nor evidence that can link to that man, yes?” With brows slanted, Cheng Xuemei asked.

“Yes, it’s him!”

That Criminal Police member replied with a sinking tone.
