In an oppressive interrogation room at a detention center in Modu.
Xiao Zhan was handcuffed to a special interrogation chair, unable to move.
His face still bore bloodstains from his intimate encounter with the ground, and his lips were cracked, making him look somewhat disheveled.
Two uniformed interrogators sat opposite him, completely unfazed by his fierce gaze, and asked coldly:
"Confess honestly! Why did you attempt to abduct a child outside the Mu Family villa and violently assault Mr. Lu?"
As the Dragon King of Dragon Hall, such a small scene couldn't faze him. Facing the standardized interrogation, Xiao Zhan remained silent, only answering, "No comment," if he spoke at all.
He knew very well that as long as he said nothing and there was no evidence, they couldn't hold him for long.
When he got out, he would make Lu Cheng pay! This time, Lu Cheng was just lucky!
The interrogators looked at Xiao Zhan's stubborn demeanor and exchanged knowing glances.
They had long received special instructions from above to 'take good care' of this ignorant foreigner.
Thus, as the red light indicating power on the monitor disappeared, a special interrogation officially began... In the subsequent hours, Xiao Zhan experienced every method imaginable: bright lights, sleep deprivation, continuous bombardment from noise-canceling headphones, and periodic stun gun and head-dunking services.
Although these methods left no physical marks on him, they caused immense psychological and physical torment.
But he firmly believed that as long as he said nothing and there was no evidence, they could at most detain him for forty-eight hours.
Just as his will was on the verge of collapsing, and he was calculating that his time would soon be up,
A police officer walked in expressionlessly, holding a document, and announced to him in an icy tone:
"Xiao Zhan, due to your suspected provocation and disturbing the peace in a residential area, with severe circumstances and a serious threat to public safety, it has been decided to impose a fourteen-day detention penalty on you!"
"Fourteen days?"
He widened his eyes in disbelief.
This must be that man's doing behind the scenes!
He suddenly looked up and roared at the police officer:
"I want to see my lawyer! I want to complain about your abuse of power!"
But no matter how he roared or struggled, he was ultimately forcibly escorted to a detention cell.
As he was being dragged away, he caught a glimpse of Dragon Hall's exclusive lawyer standing outside. Although they were more than ten meters apart, he quickly mouthed a few words:
"Investigate! Lu! Cheng!"
...A bar in the heart of Modu.
Going up to the second floor, one would find completely different decor and furnishings.
This was Dragon Hall's secret base in Modu.
At this moment, Ye Shuying looked at the newly received intelligence with a solemn expression, her brows tightly furrowed, a rare hint of anxiety and unease appearing on her cold face.
Beside her stood two men.
One was the burly Hu Sha, exuding a violent aura.
The other was the stern, taciturn Tie Bi, radiating a chill that kept others at bay.
Together with Ye Shuying, code-named "Phantom," these three were the most elite and trusted of Dragon Hall's three Dragon Guards, highly valued by the Dragon King.
"Bang!"
After reading the intelligence, Hu Sha slammed his fist onto the table in front of him. The table groaned under the strain, almost falling apart on the spot!
He glared, roaring furiously:
"Someone actually managed to arrest the Dragon King? And for fourteen damn days?"
"I'll go now with my men and raid that detention center! We'll rescue the Dragon King!"
Ye Shuying's clear voice immediately rang out, carrying a hint of weariness and an undeniable resolve, stopping him:
"Hu Sha, calm down!"
"This is Dragon Country! It's not like those places overseas where we can do whatever we want!"
"You're going to lead men to attack a government institution? Do you think the Dragon King hasn't caused enough trouble already?"
Although she spoke to Hu Sha, her heart was filled with shock and self-reproach.
When she reported to the Dragon King earlier, she had indeed hesitated.
She thought that Lu Cheng was, after all, her good friend Gu Qingcheng's boyfriend, and... his background was equally unfathomable.
Therefore, she ultimately chose to selectively conceal information about Lu Cheng, only vaguely stating that Mu Wanrou and her daughter were safe, but she dared not mention the extraordinary intimacy between Lu Cheng and Mu Wanrou.
She still hoped that the encounter between Lu Cheng and Mu Wanrou that day was just a special circumstance, and she wanted to wait until she had investigated everything thoroughly before reporting it.
Who knew that the Dragon King would return and go to their door alone?
Nor did she expect... Lu Cheng's strength to be even greater than the Dragon King's, actually being able to send him to jail.
This made her feel even more guilty. For that scumbag Lu Cheng, who was two-timing, she had indirectly caused the Dragon King to be imprisoned... No!
Next time she met Qingcheng, she must tell her about Lu Cheng's two-timing and try to persuade her to break up with this man!
Hu Sha listened to Ye Shuying's words. Although still fuming, he was at least less impulsive.
He irritably ran his fingers through his hair and shouted, "Then even if we don't force our way in! We still have other ways to rescue him, right?"
"Also! Who is that Lu Cheng? Phantom, didn't you come ahead of time? Why don't you have any intelligence?"
He had long disliked Ye Shuying, this cold, always condescending woman, and his tone carried clear doubt and dissatisfaction.
"How about I go and grab that Lu Cheng now, interrogate him thoroughly, and then we'll know."
Tie Bi, who had been silent, finally spoke in a deep voice.
His voice was hoarse and low, yet it carried an undeniable calmness and authority.
"Phantom is right."
"Hu Sha, this is Dragon Country, not our home turf after all."
"We don't have many brothers here this time, and they are all unarmed, carrying no weapons."
"The Dragon King, with his peak Dark Energy cultivation, was easily taken down. Do you think you, with early Dark Energy, leading dozens of brothers without even guns, can accomplish anything?"
"The most important thing now is to stay calm, not to act rashly, and avoid alerting the enemy."
"As for that Lu Cheng..." Tie Bi turned his gaze to Ye Shuying, "Phantom, do you know anything about this person?"
Ye Shuying took a deep breath, trying to remain composed, and facing their scrutinizing gazes, she said in a deep voice:
"Lu Cheng... He is the sole heir of The Lu Family of Modu."
"The Lu Family is known as the number one family in Modu, with deep connections in all sectors of society, immense power, and unfathomable wealth."
"If the Dragon King has provoked him this time... I think what we should do now is to try our best to smooth things over, make arrangements, and at least ensure that the Dragon King receives as little unfair treatment as possible during these fourteen days inside, and can come out safely."
"As for more information about Lu Cheng... I will investigate it immediately!"
Hu Sha, hearing this, couldn't help but complain:
"I really don't understand! Why does the Dragon King have to come back to find some wife and child!"
"With the Dragon King's status and charm, what kind of woman can't he find?"
"Back in Europe, those blonde, blue-eyed noble ladies, all sorts of celebrities and socialites, were lining up to have his children, but he didn't even care for them!"
"He just had to come back and suffer this indignity!"
Ye Shuying ignored Hu Sha's complaints, merely clenching her fists in silence.
Lu Cheng... The best way to investigate him...
Is to start with her best friend, Gu Qingcheng...
