DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 13 - Arbitrary Policewoman
Both police officers turned, their curiosity piqued by the audacity of whoever dared to snatch someone from their custody. However, their heads swiveled to a halt, caught off guard by what they saw.
The voice had emanated from a woman, or to be precise, a female officer, though the sheer beauty of this female officer bordered on the ridiculous.
The girl who had just disembarked from the car could certainly be deemed attractive, but compared to this female officer, she seemed to lack a certain allure. contemporary romance
Her legs, extraordinarily long and strikingly beautiful, took a perfectly curved path, only to suddenly undergo a swift contraction. The police uniform shirt she wore was on the brink of bursting open. The abrupt shift made it seem as if her entire body had bent sharply at the waist.
While this should have come off as quite unexpected, the female officer across from her bore no hint of disarray. Instead, it was as if the transformation were the epitome of perfection.
The countenance of the other woman was strikingly lovely, evoking the sense of mixed heritage. Her eyes carried a faint hue of blue, her hair cascading with a natural sweep…
In a nutshell, upon her appearance, she exuded such a level of flawlessness that one might assume she had been digitally retouched by a seasoned photo editor, devoid of any imperfections.
“Why are you two still lingering?” The policewoman's tone turned icy as she noticed the two of them rooted in place.
The two officers exchanged glances. Under ordinary circumstances, they would not be unfamiliar with one another. Yet, he was clad in a police uniform. They held both the right and duty to inspect him. However, confronted by the commanding and chilly air exuding from the female officer, they found themselves bereft of the courage to carry out any inquiry.
Nonetheless, the demands of their occupation prevented them from directly handing over the individual to the other party.
A police officer inquired, “May I ask who you are? This area falls under our jurisdiction, and given the situation, we are obligated to take the injured and all suspects to the police station. It's only after an investigation that we can…”
The female police officer impatiently gestured and cut in, “There's no need for you to know my identity. You'll be informed soon enough.”
In the face of such an unusual situation, the police officer naturally hesitated to comply.
As he was about to decline, a cellphone belonging to one of the individuals rang. After a brief conversation, he promptly hung up and bowed to the policewoman. “I apologize, Officer Ye. As per our superior's orders, we'll follow your directives, Officer Ye.”
The female police officer with the surname Ye didn't waste any time on these two individuals. Instead, she approached the two still unconscious men, squatting down to assess their condition. A faintly surprised expression crossed her face.
She then approached Zhang Xiaoloong. Her gaze seemed to gleam with icy starlight as she scrutinized him from head to toe. “Who are you?”
“I'm Zhang Xiaoloong. I hail from Qinghe Village in Qing Yuan County,” Zhang Xiaoloong responded truthfully.
Once, he had thought Lu Xiaoya was incredibly attractive, especially after spending two months in Yanjing where she seemed to grow even more stunning. However, it wasn't until he set eyes on the sunglasses-wearing girl that he realized there could be someone more beautiful than Lu Xiaoya.
Yet now, he had to confess that even someone as oblivious as he, with no knack for assessing a woman's physique, found himself immensely drawn to the figure of the female police officer before him.
Fortunately, he managed to retain his composure. It hadn't escalated to the point where encountering a beauty made his head spin. After briefly sizing up the woman, he promptly averted his gaze, preventing any appearance of being absentminded.
“That's not what I'm inquiring about.” The female officer's voice was icy, now even more stern. “Your true identity and occupation?”
“I've only got one identity.” Zhang Xiaoloong lifted his head, a hint of surprise in his eyes, yet he swiftly glanced elsewhere due to her revealing outfit. “I'm a student. Just enrolled in Yanjing University, though for some reason, I'm on a school hiatus at home.”
“You're that top scorer from the college entrance exams, Zhang Xiaoloong?” Before the female officer could react, her sunglass-wearing companion jumped in, astonishment in her tone. “I'm Zhang Xiaoloong from Qinghe Village. I secured a place at Yanjing University as the national college entrance exam's first-place scorer. However, due to an illness, I never enrolled. I'm currently on an academic break. You must be her, right? Your exam score was 748, correct?”
She rattled off the details with remarkable fluency, only pausing briefly when mentioning her illness. Perhaps she wondered if he had just waved her off dismissively. Could he really be suffering from a monstrously severe illness?
Zhang Xiaoloong nodded in a daze. “Yes, but how do you know all of this?”
“My name is Yang Jingjing. I came to Qingyang City to interview you.” The girl smiled, brandishing her press credentials. She then glanced at the handcuffs on the officer's wrist and remarked slightly awkwardly, “I truly never imagined we'd cross paths under such circumstances.”
Unable to suppress a dry chuckle, Zhang Xiaoloong feigned wiping non-existent sweat off his forehead. “You're not going to spin a tale back there, about how this year's national college entrance exam champion got suspended and turned into a prisoner, are you? That would really stoke the fires!”
Yang Jingjing couldn't help but burst into laughter. “You've caught me off guard with your humor. I was expecting the college entrance exam champion to be a complete bookworm!”
“But this isn't the time for casual conversations,” the stern policewoman interrupted. “Accompany me to the police station.”
“Alright.” Zhang Xiaoloong forced a wry smile. It appeared that today's turmoil wouldn't be settling down any time soon.
Yet, there was merit in it. First, he nearly caused harm to Big Brother Bi, and then he shattered glass and subdued two unidentified assailants barehandedly into a car. It would be strange if the police didn't take him in for questioning.
“Don't worry, I can vouch for you.” Seeing this, Yang Jingjing quickly offered reassurance.
“Indeed. I can provide a testimony for this young man as well.” Another person alighted from the car: the middle-aged man who had spoken up for Zhang Xiaoloong earlier. “From the very start, he was assisting and defending himself. Besides, our Qingyang College Entrance Exam Champion wouldn't take a life without reason.”
“So you're Mr. Lee Donghua. You're in this vehicle too?” A police officer questioned, taken aback by the sight.
Lee Donghua seemed to be familiar with this officer as well. He grinned and nodded. “On my way back from my hometown, I faced some car issues. He coincidentally hitched a ride and witnessed the situation. Officer Liu Gaang, I can vouch that Zhang Xiaoloong didn't intend to inflict harm. Could you release him temporarily? If there are any medical expenses, I'll take responsibility.”
Officer Liu appeared conflicted, his desire to say something clashing with his hesitation. Ultimately, he cast an awkward glance toward the policewoman surnamed Ye. In this moment, he found himself in a conundrum.
“Take Zhang Xiaoloong and Yang Jingjing back to the police station. The two suspects are the same. No one should question them. I'll handle it personally later.” The female police officer, whose figure was strikingly attractive, seemed to have missed the conversation between the two people in front of her. She issued concise orders.
“Officer Ye, I am…” Lee Donghua also spotted the issue and hastily extracted his business card, extending it to Ye Mei.
The other party evidently didn't acknowledge the gesture and didn't even glance at the business card. “I'm aware of your identity, but it would be best if you pretend you know nothing about what transpired earlier.”
“What do you mean, Officer Ye?” Lee Donghua's brows creased slightly. “As a citizen of China, I have the right to provide a firsthand account as evidence. This isn't unlawful. If Zhang Xiaoloong faces unfair treatment… I won't just stand by.”
The policewoman studied Lee Donghua anew, a touch more relaxed in her tone. “I won't exploit any influence to harm anyone, but certain matters are confidential. It's wiser for you to act as though you didn't see anything.”
Lee Donghua experienced a moment of surprise, then his phone rang. He seemed to be inquiring about his whereabouts. After a few brief exchanges, he ended the call. He handed Zhang Xiaoloong his business card. “I never anticipated encountering the pride of Qingyang City here. If any issues arise later… you can reach me through this.”
“Thank you.” Zhang Xiaoloong might not know who Lee Donghua was, but he could discern that Lee Donghua was no ordinary individual.
Among the occupants of the vehicle, he alone spoke out for him, leaving a positive impression.
The policewoman evidently aimed to suppress further conversation. She instructed two officers with a few words, then drove the vehicle, carrying Zhang Xiaoloong and Yang Jingjing away.
……
Inside an interrogation room, the policewoman with the surname Ye rested her hands on the table's surface, leaning down as she focused on Zhang Xiaoloong.
Possibly unaware of the effect, her posture seemed poised to push the limits of her attire. Any man who caught sight of it would undoubtedly experience a rush of heat through their veins.
Even though Zhang Xiaoloong made a conscious effort to divert his gaze, the sensation of his blood racing remained undeniable. Could this woman truly be the rumored enchantress?
Yet, as he contemplated, fear was unwarranted. He was the bearer of Shennong's legacy, endowed with divine power. There was no reason to cower before any enchantress.
With this rationale in mind, he dared to look up, though his cheeks turned slightly rosy as her captivating form pricked at his senses. He had no choice but to cast his gaze downward again.
“Are you familiar with the two individuals you threw out?” The policewoman queried.
Zhang Xiaoloong shook his head in confusion. “I just wanted to prevent them from taking lives. As for anything else, I'm in the dark.”
“You genuinely have no knowledge?” Her gaze seemed as though it could peer into his very soul, while simultaneously emanating an uncanny pressure.
Zhang Xiaoloong's brows furrowed slightly, and instinctively, he lifted his head. Yet, this time, he managed to resist her influence. He locked his gaze with hers and affirmed, “Yes, I truly have no knowledge.”
“You're lying!” The policewoman's voice exploded.
Though she exerted minimal force, the table beneath her palm splintered.
At the same time, she lunged forward with the speed of wind, her target being Zhang Xiaoloong.
