Standing up, Lin Gang walked to the window and pulled the curtain open. It was completely dark outside. The training base built on the mountain was pitch-black at this moment. On the mountain, there was a dark forest. There was not a single house or light, which made the place even more gloomy at night.
Lin Gang's face was gloomy. He pointed at the outside. Zeng Jing, see? It's dark.
I have eyes. I don't need you to remind me. Zeng Jing twitched her mouth.
I know you have eyes. I just want to remind you that the dark night is the source of crime. As a policeman, you should know that crimes are more frequent at night. It is also the time when some lawbreakers are the most rampant. Things that can't happen during the day often happen in the middle of the night.
What are you trying to say? Zeng Jing understood something in Lin Gang's words.
What do you think I will say? The long night is just beginning. If you are still so stubborn, do you think you can survive the long night?
That's my business. Director Lin, you don't need to worry about it.
Zeng Jing, as a policeman, you know better than anyone else what will happen if you resist stubbornly. You should also know how we deal with criminals. Do you want to have a try? Lin Gang's face was dark. Don't think that others will show mercy to you because you are a policeman. I can tell you, don't even think about it.
I don't think that way. I know those who can interrogate me are all your henchmen. Director Lin, you told them not to be polite to me, but they won't show mercy to me. Zeng Jing looked calm. Zeng Jing was calm about what was about to happen. Was she afraid? The answer was yes. No one was not afraid of pain. But some people could overcome the pain with a strong will, while others would flinch.
Zeng Jing would not flinch, nor would she admit that she was a murderer. She had expected this day. It was conceivable that Lin Gang would do something crazy to avenge his son. Zeng Jing was mentally prepared.
Someone knocked on the door, interrupting their conversation. Lin Gang frowned and walked to the door with a dark face. What's going on?
Lin Gang, Zheng Zhongqiang, and Mayor Chen of Jiang City were here. Outside the door, one of Lin Gang's henchmen was whispering to Lin Gang.
Why did he come in person? Lin Gang was surprised that Chen Xing would come here in person.
Lin Ting. They were about to go upstairs. The person who spoke looked into the room, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. Even the mayor of Jiang City was here. This matter was getting out of hand.
Hearing that the two had gone upstairs, Lin Gang's face darkened. He had no time to think. He asked someone to close the door and went downstairs himself.
They met again on the stairs, just like the previous scene, except this time, Chen Xing was there. Lin Gang did not dare to stand on the stairs like he did to Zheng Zhongqiang. Instead, he took the initiative to walk down. "Mayor Chen, what brings you here today? What brings you here, my distinguished guest?" Lin Gang thought to himself.
Lin Gang looked at Zheng Zhongqiang with a trace of coldness in his eyes. At this moment, Lin Gang believed that it was Zheng Zhongqiang who invited Chen Xing here. Otherwise, Chen Xing would not come here in person. Lin Gang knew that Chen Xing and Zeng Jing knew each other. They used to be classmates in the Party School, but so what? Lin Gang worked in the government. The so-called classmates in the Party School were nothing more than that. Their friendship couldn't be that deep.
Undoubtedly, Lin Gang thought so. Lin Gang didn't know the relationship between Zeng Jing and Chen Xing as well as his son Lin Mao did. Lin Mao at least knew that Chen Xing and Zeng Jing were friends, but Lin Gang didn't know much.
Lin Gang was polite to Chen Xing, but Chen Xing didn't buy it. Where is Zeng Jing? I want to see her now.
Mayor Chen, this isn't a good idea. Zeng Jing is now a suspect, a serious criminal. Except for the investigators, no one can see her. Lin Gang pretended to be in a dilemma.
Not even me? Chen Xing stared at Lin Gang.
Mayor Chen, it's not that I don't want to give you face, but I can't. Please understand my work. Lin Gang shook his head. If it wasn't related to his son's case, Lin Gang would be willing to give face to Chen Xing. But now, Lin Gang had to confront Chen Xing. Most importantly, he was from the Provincial Department, so he didn't have to give face to Chen Xing. Even Chen Xing couldn't do anything to him.
Lin Gang, don't say such high-sounding words. Arresting Zeng Jing is against the procedures. Don't you think it's ridiculous to ask people to understand your work? Zheng Zhongqiang questioned.
Some procedures can be fixed later, but a suspect in a murder case has to be arrested in time, in case it causes more serious consequences. Don't you think so? Director Zheng, you've been a policeman for more than half of your life. Don't you know the importance of arresting a suspect in time? Lin Gang glanced at Zheng Zhongqiang coldly.
Lin Gang, don't talk nonsense. I want to see Zeng Jing right now. Chen Xing wasn't in the mood to listen to Lin Gang. Seeing Lin Gang standing in front of him, Chen Xing pushed Lin Gang aside and went straight upstairs.
Mayor Chen, don't put me in a difficult position. Lin Gang took a step forward and continued to block Chen Xing's way.
Get out of my way. Chen Xing's face darkened.
Lin Gang stood still. Chen Xing coldly snorted. This time, he was no longer polite. He forcefully pushed Lin Gang aside and quickly walked upstairs. Seeing this, Lin Gang's expression changed. He wanted to stop Chen Xing again, but Zheng Zhongqiang, who was beside him, stepped forward and blocked Lin Gang's path.
Zheng Zhongqiang, what are you doing? Lin Gang shouted angrily.
I should be the one asking you that question. Zheng Zhongqiang glanced at Lin Gang and blocked his way. Then he caught up with Chen Xing.
Upstairs, Chen Xing saw several policemen standing outside a room. His expression changed. He walked over and turned the doorknob. Seeing that the door was locked, Chen Xing glanced at the policeman beside him and opened the door.
"This …" The policeman beside him hesitated for a moment. He secretly glanced at Lin Gang behind him, but he didn't listen to Chen Xing.
Open the door. Chen Xing bellowed. He was truly enraged.
Mayor Chen, what's the point of seeing Zeng Jing? She's a suspect. Can you change that just by seeing her? Lin Gang said with a gloomy face.
I don't need to tell you why I want to see her. Chen Xing looked at Lin Gang coldly.
Lin Gang was a little angry at Chen Xing's words. Even though Chen Xing's rank was higher than his, he had no authority over him. Lin Gang was not happy that Chen Xing talked to him in such a tone.
