Xia Jingjing subconsciously raised her head and looked. This was indeed Luo Chen’s room, was it not?
“However, someone higher up has given instructions. Do not investigate the person inside, and do not touch him!” Zhou Dui’s voice came from the other end of the phone again.
“Oh? Who has such great influence?” Xia Jingjing was slightly stunned. Luo Chen seemed to be growing more and more mysterious. Why did so many things seem to be connected to him?
“The Ye family!”
Xia Jingjing was first taken aback. She already felt she had overestimated Luo Chen, but now it seemed she had still underestimated him. Luo Chen could actually receive protection from the Ye family of Tongzhou. That was a super powerful family!
However, a flash of sharp light passed through Xia Jingjing’s eyes. Others might fear the Ye family, but Xia Jingjing would not care too much. After all, she also had a very powerful background behind her.
So Xia Jingjing turned around again and knocked on Luo Chen’s door.
“What is it now?”
“Mr Luo, I now suspect you are connected to a murder case. Please come with me.” Xia Jingjing suddenly changed her expression completely. It felt like she was the type who would deny everything after getting what she wanted.
“I just saved you a moment ago. If we count, this is the second time I saved you.” Luo Chen stood at the doorway, looking down at Xia Jingjing. He could not help but laugh in anger. What was this woman playing at?
Not only did she not thank him, but now she actually wanted to investigate him.
“Mr Luo, may I ask how Director Wang Fu died?” Xia Jingjing took out handcuffs, looking as if she was about to arrest someone.
“Are you the police or am I the police? You should be the one investigating this kind of thing, yet you come to ask me?” Luo Chen bluntly retorted without any politeness.
“Then I am sorry, Mr Luo. You will have to come back with me.” Xia Jingjing directly handcuffed Luo Chen.
Lan Bei’er wanted to step forward and say something, but at that moment Luo Chen shook his head at Lan Bei’er and gave her a reassuring look.
“I saved you, and this is how you treat me?” Luo Chen found this Xia Jingjing rather interesting.
“One thing is one thing. Public matters are public, private matters are private!”
At the police station, Luo Chen was sitting there drinking tea, top-grade Longjing. It was already past eleven at night.
Opposite him, Zhou Dui kept apologising to Luo Chen.
“Hehe, Mr Luo, I am sorry. Jingjing is actually not a bad person. She is just too principled.”
“Zhou Dui, please stick to your position. We are interrogating him.” Xia Jingjing stood to the side, putting on a very serious act.
“Jingjing, no matter what, he saved us last night.” Captain Zhou had a placating smile on his face.
“Hehe, do not think that having some connections means you can escape justice.” Xia Jingjing kept talking about law and criminal investigation.
But suddenly, a roaring voice came from outside the door.
“Where is the person?”
“This is ridiculous!”
“Utterly ridiculous!”
The old bureau chief’s voice suddenly rang out. He had already gone to bed, but he received a call from Ye Zhengtian, followed by a furious scolding.
Although Ye Zhengtian was not his direct superior, Ye Zhengtian’s nephew was his superior. Right after Ye Zhengtian finished scolding him, Ye Zhengtian’s nephew, who was also the old bureau chief’s boss, gave him another round of harsh reprimands.
In a short time, he had been scolded twice. He hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed to the station.
Because right now, a very important figure was sitting in the bureau.
“Chief, why did you come in person?” Xia Jingjing had not expected to alarm the old bureau chief. She quickly stood up.
“If I did not come, were you planning to burn down the entire bureau?”
“Release him immediately.” The old bureau chief’s beard trembled with anger. He was clearly furious, because even Ye Zhengtian had been disturbed.
“But Chief, he is connected to that case…”
“Enough, stop making trouble. Jingjing, I will not say anything else. If you really want to do something for the common people, why do you not go investigate how many young girls that director harmed?” The old bureau chief was very shrewd and down-to-earth. With one sentence, he left Xia Jingjing speechless.
“Release him!”
“I am sorry, Mr Luo. The people below were ignorant and caused you trouble.” The old bureau chief personally escorted him all the way to the door.
In the car, Xia Jingjing was clearly not willing to give up.
“Do not think that having some connections makes you untouchable. As long as I do not find evidence, I will keep following you every day!” Xia Jingjing felt she had come up with a good plan.
Because she believed that if she stayed by Luo Chen’s side, sooner or later he would reveal his flaws.
Luo Chen sighed, but Xia Jingjing really did follow him back.
Although Xia Jingjing intended to monitor Luo Chen, she was also very afraid. So that night, she occupied the spot beside Luo Chen’s bed.
Naturally, Lan Bei’er would not allow that, so she also claimed a place.
After a lot of fussing half the night, Luo Chen lay in the middle, looking at the two beauties on his left and right, feeling quite helpless.
His Taihuang Scripture had not yet truly reached a certain realm. He could not break his yang essence yet. Otherwise, would these two women dare to lie next to him like this?
They were already sleeping in his bed. If he did nothing, would he still deserve to be called a man?
Luo Chen sighed. It seemed he needed to raise his cultivation as soon as possible.
Early the next morning, after getting up, Luo Chen went to a park in Panlong Bay to meditate. He sat cross-legged under a tree. The sky was just beginning to brighten. It was the moment when the sun was rising in the east.
Although there was no spiritual energy here, the Taihuang Scripture was extremely overbearing. It could actually absorb the essence from the rising sun. Invisible purple qi came from the east and was drawn into Luo Chen’s body, continuously tempering his physique.
It was not until eight in the morning that Luo Chen finished his practice. Some people jogging along the roadside glanced at him sideways, their eyes full of disdain. Sitting in meditation in the park so early in the morning. Was this young man mentally ill?
Luo Chen naturally paid no attention to them. He drove to the company.
At the company, Zhang Hai had already been waiting there.
He no longer wanted to find any excuses. He wanted to fire Luo Chen!
Outside the company, when Luo Chen’s car slowly pulled into the parking lot, someone sent a message to Zhang Hai.
Zhang Hai picked up his phone. A cold smile crossed his lips, and anticipation appeared in his eyes.
“Call everyone over. I want to make him look bad in front of everybody.” Zhang Hai shouted once, and immediately a large group gathered around.
“Brother Zhang, is this really okay? After all, Luo Chen has not done anything wrong, has he?” The person who had spoken up for Luo Chen yesterday spoke again today.
“Xiao Li, do you also want to be fired?” Zhang Hai said coldly with a threatening tone.
“Have you grown some guts? You helped him yesterday, and today you help him again. Half your salary this month will be deducted!” Zhang Hai directly scolded Li Donglai.
Li Donglai clenched his fists. To be honest, he was usually quite timid. He gave the impression of being very weak, even submissive would not be an exaggeration.
But the more honest a person is, the bigger their temper can be when pushed.
“Zhang Hai, are you not just bullying people?” Li Donglai clenched his fists and finally exploded. He gritted his teeth and said to Zhang Hai.
“Oh? What is this today? You want to rebel?” Zhang Hai glared fiercely at Li Donglai, not taking him seriously at all.
“Let me tell you, I am bullying people. So what?”
“If you can handle it, stay. If not, get lost!” Zhang Hai not only did not restrain himself, but became even more arrogant.
“Fine, I quit. What is so great about it? Always using power to bully others. Do you really think you are superior?” Li Donglai was so angry that he turned and walked away. But just as he reached the entrance, he ran into Luo Chen.
Li Donglai gave Luo Chen a bitter smile.
Luo Chen asked in an inquiring tone.
“What happened?”
“Luo Chen, be careful. I am leaving first. I cannot work here anymore. These animals only know how to bully people with their power!” It was clear that Li Donglai was extremely angry, but sometimes things were like this. He could only leave because he could not fight them.
“Wait a moment.” Luo Chen grabbed Li Donglai and pulled him back.
