Green City.
Minister Hong finally regained his senses. He then walked extravagantly towards the interrogation room.
Although he knew who was behind the Chu family, he was also aware that in this day and age, there were not many aristocratic families with a warlord left.
Frighteningly, the Chu family was a special case. Superintendent Hong understood that the person backing the Chu family was even more horrifying.
In particular, a single command was able to mobilize the entire military in Green City a few nights ago…
Access vi pnovel.comAs he thought about this, the phone in his pocket rang.
The call came from the capital.
He had never once received a call like this. Superintendent Hong trembled in fear as he answered the phone. “Hi.”
“This is Superintendent Hong in Green City, right? I am Ling Hanyi.” A voice that sounded like it belonged to a young man said lazily. “Someone was worried and specifically gave me a call, asking me to specially take care of this. The person is Miss Su who was arrested by you people. You understand, right?”
There was no way Superintendent Hong had not heard of senior prosecutor Ling Hanyi’s name before.
He had already become a senior prosecutor at such a young age. He was very influential in the capital, such that even the old veterans were afraid to mess with him.
Even a second rate police director like Superintendent Hong knew of this man.
Superintendent Hong hung up the call and continued walking ahead.
He felt as if his body was floating.
Initially, he thought that Su Huiqing was not an important suspect. At most, she was someone from a rich family. However, he did not expect that this normal person was able to alarm the entire capital.
He recalled Chu Xuning’s words and instantly knew that there was someone backing the Su family…
That person was even extraordinarily close to Ling Hanyi… To the point that a single phone call was enough to make him personally show his face.
He wiped his back which was covered in cold sweat.
“Where’s the person?” He quickly headed for the interrogation room, but did not spot the person that should have been there. His face turned pale with fright, and he grabbed a person by the collar. He asked in shock, “Where did you put her?”
The police officer was stunned by Superintendent Hong. “In… in the little black room.”
“The small black room?!” Superintendent Hong’s voice rose in an instant. His heart almost leaped out of his throat. “She’s just an underaged child, this is ridiculous! Hurry, release her now!”
It was the same here as in the officialdom, with many orders to follow.
Seeing Superintendent Hong’s attitude, it was clear that the girl who was locked up was not a simple person.
“But, it was an order from above…” The police officer was put in the spot. With his power alone, he would not have dared to place the underage girl into the small black room.
Superintendent Hong waved his hands in annoyance. He could still remember Chu Xuning’s words- nothing can happen to this girl. “Hurry let her out. I’ll take responsibility for everything.”
Furthermore, it was already illegal to arrest an underage teen without any evidence.
Only when they arrived at the little black room did Superintendent Hong’s heart settle down.
The person inside was an ancestor.
Little black room…
Everybody knew that this was an extremely torturous confession room.
The four walls were made of a special material. Other than the surveillance, there was nothing in the room. While the door was closed, nothing could be heard or seen inside. Some people might actually use violence in the room, and this really put people’s willpower to the test. This would drive ordinary people insane easily.
Even trained agents were not able to withstand such torture.
The moment Superintendent Hong reached the doorstep, he saw the video on the monitor screen outside.
In the corner of the room, a girl was currently leaning against the wall.
She was still wearing a school uniform.
She had handcuffs on her hands and her eyes were lowered, concealing her expressions.
Superintendent Hong finally saw the real person. In actual fact, she was just seventeen or eighteen years old, same as his daughter.
He could not tell if he was feeling sympathy or anger.
At such an age, forget about the little black room, she should not even be put in an interrogation room.
“What are you standing there for? Release her!” Superintendent Hong ordered.
The others immediately reacted and hurriedly opened the door with a key card.
Just then, a voice came from the end of the corridor, “Do not release her.”
Then, a group of people in casual black clothes came over. The leader narrowed his eyes at Superintendent Hong before handing him a folder. “You must be Superintendent Hong. I am the leader of the violent crimes division, here to investigate the explosion. This matter is under my care.”
“Qin Dui, Su Huiqing is just an underaged girl.” Superintendent Hong flipped through the folder. Indeed, Qin Dui’s name was stamped on it. “Furthermore…”

“Enough. Superintendent Hong, you should just go home and rest.” Qin Dui waved his hands and looked at him sarcastically. “This case is under me.”
Superintendent Hong’s expression changed.
As of now, the case was indeed out of his authority.
In the end, he could only say a sentence grimly, “Qin Dui, don’t say that I didn’t warn you. The person in there is not someone you can lay your hands on.”
Superintendent Hong looked at Qin Dui’s face of indifference and pursed his lips.
He could only warn him until here.
Right now, Qin Dui was simply trying to suppress others with his authority.
If you want to compare this, the Chu family and the person who could get Ling Hanyi to personally make a call…
Superintendent Hong finally gained some clarity. There was someone deliberately targeting Su Huiqing… and even the entire Su family. However, he just did not know if these people were aware of the person backing the Su family!
He turned away and gave the monitor screen a last look. The girl in the video was coincidentally looking up.
Even through the blurry footage, he could tell that she had a beautiful face.
Superintendent Hong held his phone as he left. Immediately, he made a phone call to Chu Xuning.
After seeing Superintendent Hong leave, Qin Dui then gave an order to the surrounding people. Lock her in there for a few days. Let’s see if she can still keep her lips sealed.”
Then he answered a phone call. “This must be Miss Shen…. Don’t worry, I’ve made the arrangements. You can inform Mr. Kyle… Don’t worry, nobody can touch me.”
