68 Interrogation 2

Yun Tianxiao and Shen Tianyun's eyes met each other for a long time, no one wanted to back down first until the latter's mouth curved up into a meaningful smile, "Sure, shall we start now?" Shen Tianyun said while leaning backward slightly.

Yun Tianxiao observed Shen Tianyun's expression for a little longer, an amiable smile appeared on his face, "I think it's unnecessary to introduce myself any further, let's talk about the report." He then flipping through a stack of papers in front of him.

Yun Tianxiao paused his actions and lifted his head to looked at the calm Shen Tianyun, "We got a report from the anonymous stated that he found injured person fell unconscious on the ground in the forest, later we know the identity of that person, his name is Zhou Feng." His eyes turned sharp while staring at Shen Tianyun trying to find any change in his expression. Upon seeing he was still calm and compose, Yun Tianxiao said further, "However, when we arrived at the scene, Mister Zhou Feng has been brought to the hospital already. After investigating the surrounding area, we didn't found anything besides the traces of Mister Zhou Feng and your acquaintance, Miss Meng Xin's blood. We concluded that there was fighting happened on the scene."

Shen Tianyun calmly listened to Yun Tianxiao reading the report, he frowned inwardly. There were no Zhou Feng's bodyguard's bodies on the scene. It looks like Lan Qingcheng's men did their job very well and this indicating they were on his side.

At the same time, he was confused when he heard all of this report. Shen Tianyun thought Yun Tianxiao would laying a trap for him, it turned out he was honestly told him everything in the report. This made him have to rejudge Yun Tianxiao over again.

"From the investigation, we found that you have appeared on the scene so right now you are our prime suspect on this case…Now, can you tell me about it? How do you know that place? More importantly, did you hurt Mister Zhou Feng?" Yun Tianxiao asked curiously, he observed Shen Tianyun's expression intensively.

Shen Tianyun smiled faintly, "Of course, I will tell you everything, Vice Bureau Chief Yun." He adjusted his sitting position slightly as he was quite uncomfortable with this short-length handcuffs chain, it restrained him from leaning on the back of the chair.

"When I arrived at the Pearl city airport, I received the report from my subordinate. He said that Meng Xin has been kidnapped by someone. I don't know how to find her, at that moment, I received another call from the anonymous told me where was Meng Xin has been brought to. I didn't hesitate or doubt about it even the slightest because I had no choice but to believe."

"When I reached that place I was running around for a while until I found Meng Xin lying unconscious on the ground along with Zhou Feng. After checking his condition, I call the ambulance and quickly brought Meng Xin to the hospital because I fear that she would lose too much blood. And that's it." Shen Tianyun explained calmly.

Yun Tianxiao stared at him for a while, seeing his unperturbed expression and his smooth narration he could not help but admired Shen Tianyun's calmness. He nodded his head, "So you are the one who call the ambulance? Then that's mean you don't want Mister Zhou Feng to die?… As far as I know, there are some grudges between you two, why don't you use this chance to finish him off?"

Shen Tianyun looked at Yun Tianxiao oddly, "Vice Bureau Chief Yun, why did you want me to commit a crime badly? Isn't you suppose to praise me for what I did?" He asked as if he was very confused.

Yun Tianxiao chuckled, "Well, you know if it were me I probably let him die there since he keeps find me trouble all this time."

Shen Tianyun laughed amusingly, "And here I thought you are a very righteous man."

"Why do you think I was one?" Yan Tianxiao responded with a smile.

Shen Tianyun did not stick on this topic further, his smile vanished and replaced with a serious expression as he said in a deep voice, "Would it be better to let him live?"

Yun Tianxiao felt chills run down on his back, both of them stared at each other for a moment before bursting into laughter at the same time. It was as if they found their kindred spirits.

After a round of laughter, Yun Tianxiao nodded his head in satisfaction, "No wonder, Mayor Fang willing to accept you as her son-in-law this quick. You have a bright future, young man."

Shen Tianyun shook his head in amusement when he listened to Yun Tianxiao's praising.

"Now, can you please unlock these handcuffs for me, Uncle Yun?" He asked while tugging the handcuffs up and down. He had changed the way he called Yun Tianxiao as he felt they were quite closer than before.

Yun Tianxiao took out a key from his pocket and started to unlock the handcuffs, "You have to stay here tonight. Do you understand what I mean?" He did not seem to mind Shen Tianyun for calling him 'Uncle Yun'.

Shen Tianyun quickly understand the meaning behind this, he nodded his head, "No problem. This is also a good experience to sleep here." He replied while rubbing his wrists that regained freedom for the first time in a while.

Yun Tianxiao put the handcuffs down on the table and smiled gently, "Don't worry, I've told your sweetheart to bring you new clothes here. She should be waiting on the outside right now."

Shen Tianyun nodded gently, "Thank you, Uncle Yun." As if he thought of something, he asked out curiously, "What about the Black Dragon gang, Uncle Yun?"

A wry smile appeared on Yun Tianxiao's face, "You should understand that this evidence from Mayor Fang is not enough to bring them down. They would just find some scapegoat and we couldn't do anything about it." He then sighed helplessly.

Shen Tianyun did not say anything further, he has already expected this outcome. Not to mention the Black Dragon gang, this evidence could not even harm Zhou family the slightest. They could refuse everything and the police would be helpless to do anything further.

"It's fine, Uncle Yun. There will be more opportunities in the future." He grinned mysteriously.

Seeing this, Yun Tianxiao was surprised slightly, "Oh? You are so confident. Don't tell me this evidence come from you?" He asked interestingly.

Shen Tianyun shook his head, "No, it came from Meng Xin. She put her life on the line to get all of this."

Yun Tianxiao immediately fell into a silence, with his job, he naturally knew about Meng Xin's background.

He smiled gently, "Thanks to her, her actions have helped so many victims regained their freedom."

Both of them fell into silence until Yun Tianxiao broke it with a light chuckle, "Let's go, your little sweetheart probably worry about you to death now." He said while standing up and walked out of the room together with Shen Tianyun.

"Hubby!" Upon he stepped out of the room, Liu Feiyan quickly approached him with anxiety clouded all over her face. When she heard everything from Fang Yulan, she was very worried about Shen Tianyun and quickly rushed to the police station right away. If not for her mother stopped her, she probably barge into the interrogation room already.

"Sorry for making you worry." Shen Tianyun said apologetically while caressing Liu Feiyan's hair. The latter shook her head and smiled lovingly back at him, she felt relief now after seeing he did not hurt anywhere.

"Tsk, it's good to be young." Yun Tianxiao clicked his tongue and looked at them in envy.

Fang Yulan smiled faintly and said to Yun Tianxiao, "You've worked hard, Vice Bureau Chief Yun."

Yun Tianxiao waved his hand dismissively, "No No, not at all, Mayor Fang. You did everything, I only did a small part of it."

"Is it really necessary for Tianyun to stay here tonight?" Liu Feiyan chimed in, she could not understand why would Shen Tianyun need to stay here since he was innocent.

Before Fang Yulan and Yun Tianxiao could reply, Shen Tianyun patted on Liu Feiyan's shoulder and said in a languid voice, "It is necessary for me to be here because if I were to go out at this moment, Lin Ming could use this chance to pressure Uncle Yun. Maybe he will try to replace the current investigation team with his own people. You have to understand the incident has happened between Pearl city and Clear River city so this case could be under either side's jurisdiction. Lin Ming could try to transfer this case to the other side and then I will lose protection from Auntie Fang."

"Furthermore, we already took Ding Han down in secret. Lin Ming shouldn't know about it yet, he probably waiting for the result first before making his next move. With me staying here, Uncle Yun could use this chance to cut me out of this case. By then, Lin Ming can't do anything about it anymore." He explained.

Liu Feiyan thought for a bit then asked, "But he could call you out again in the future right?"

Shen Tianyun nodded, "Yes if he wanted to call me again, he will need to come up with strong evidence."

"Are you sure you don't see Zhou Feng's bodyguards on the scene?" Hearing Shen Tianyun's confident voice, Fang Yulan could not help but to ask about it. She felt very odd when she saw a report, it was impossible for Zhou Feng to be there alone without his bodyguards who kidnapped Meng Xin away.

"Yes, when I arrived there, I only saw Zhou Feng and Meng Xin lying unconscious on the ground. I was worried about Meng Xin so I don't have the time to look around much and it was quite dark there." Shen Tianyun replied calmly as if he told them the truth.

Fang Yulan and Yun Tianxiao made eye contact, they could see a confusion on each other's eyes. They felt something was amiss on this incident. In their eyes, they believed Shen Tianyun was innocent because there was no way he could brutally cripple Zhou Feng and fight with a gun without getting any injury. Even a veteran police like Yun Tianxiao himself could not do it.

"Can I stay with you here?" Liu Feiyan asked earnestly.

Shen Tianyun shook his head and pinched her cheek lightly, "No, you just recovered from the fever today. Be obedient and go back with Auntie Fang, okay?"

Liu Feiyan bit her lips and nodded unwillingly before left with Fang Yulan after giving new clothes and necessary things to him.

"Brat! I heard you are also hooking up with Secretary Lin's daughter too, is that true?" Yun Tianxiao patted Shen Tianyun's shoulders while asking him in an envious tone.

Shen Tianyun did not reply to the question, "Where is the bathroom, Uncle Yun? I want to clean myself now." Seeing he was unwilling to tell him, Yun Tianxiao clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction and pointed towards a certain direction.

.........

"Hah…" It was 6 AM in the morning, Shen Tianyun stood in front of the police station and let out a cold breath. His hair flung up slightly by the morning autumn breeze along with the coldness brushed past his face. His brown sweater and a grey-colored long pant could barely keep his body warm, if not for his strong physique he probably catch a cold by now.

"Brat, don't come back again in the future. I don't want to see you again." Behind him, Yun Tianxiao said jokingly. The skins around his eyes slightly darkened from a tiredness. He has worked for the entire night to cut Shen Tianyun out of this case before the sun rises.

Shen Tianyun turned back to him, "Don't jinx it, Uncle Yun. Now, I have an ominous feeling about it."

Yun Tianxiao chuckled while looking at the Mercedes-Benz car approaching the station.

"Hubby!" A sweet voice rang out along with a beautiful figure, Liu Feiyan get off the car and rushed to Shen Tianyun's side. She was too worried about him and could not sleep for the whole night but she did not show any tiredness at all, on the contrary, she was very happy upon seeing her beloved man.

Shen Tianyun smiled warmly at her, "Yan'er, why did you come? I can take a taxi back by myself. You should get more rest."

Before Liu Feiyan could reply anything, Yun Tianxiao's voice rang out, "Hey, you two a lovey-dovey couple. Hurry up and go back already. Don't show your love around here." He said annoyingly at the couple.

Shen Tianyun and Liu Feiyan looked at each other and laughed slightly, they bid farewell to Yun Tianxiao and went back to their home afterward.

.........

"Yes, Mister Zhou. Please I'll try my best to bring you justice as soon as possible… alright, goodbye." Lin Ming threw his phone away after finished his call with Zhou Feilong. His expression darkened slightly when he heard the news from Pearl city this morning.

It was out of his expectation, Ding Han has been arrested without him knowing and Shen Tianyun was out of the case easily thanks to Yun Tianxiao's swift actions. Now, without strong evidence, he could not call Shen Tianyun out again.

"I never thought this bastard would still have some tricks in his sleeves. This completely caught me off guard." Lin Ming said coldly. He drank a mouthful of strong tea to calm himself down before he said to his bodyguard, Dugu Xiao, "I think we can't rely on this Zhou Feilong anymore. It looks like we need to make a move by ourselves. I won't feel at ease if that bastard is still alive. From his recent performances, I can see that he has the potential to become a huge threat in the future… Not good, I must get rid of him as soon as possible."

Dugu Xiao nodded in agreement and asked concernedly, "But how are we going to deal with him, Master? With Lan Qingmei's protection, I don't think we can assassinate him easily."

Lin Ming tapped on the table pondered for a moment, "It seems I have to trouble Young master Zhao on this matter. I think he should share the same view as me." He turned to look at the calendar and said further, "It's about the Autumn festival now, I think this is a good chance to get rid of him. I will call my daughter and my wife back to Beijing. At that time, with Young master Zhao blocking Lan Qingmei, I don't think he could survive from this." A cruel smile appeared on his face when he said this.

.........

"Tell me about it. Why did you involve with this incident?" In the teacher's room, a classroom teacher, Li Qing asked Shen Tianyun with a serious expression. She was wearing her usual businesswoman suit and black stocking could be seen on her seductive legs.

Shen Tianyun who was stood in front of her smiled wryly as he said with a slight complaint, "This is a very long story teacher, why don't you talk to the police about it? You know, I have stayed at the police station overnight yet the teacher still calls me here to ask this question."

Li Qing glared at him angrily but she could not say anything about it. This morning she heard from Zhou Feng's classroom teacher about the incident last night. She was very worried when she knew Shen Tianyun was involved in this. Therefore, she decided to call him over to ask about it.

She let out a helpless sigh and took out a paper from the desk, "Alright, I won't ask you about it anymore… Because you have won the swimming competition on the previous Saturday there are many universities trying to probe your future. They want to give you a scholarship, you can look at it by yourself." She then handed a paper to Shen Tianyun.

"Eh? Teacher Li, I'm still a second-year right now. Why would they want to give it to me at this time?" Received a paper from Li Qing, Shen Tianyun did not look at it but asked confusedly back at her.

A beautiful teacher Li smiled proudly, "It is because they are very confident in your ability. I don't know what's going on but I heard you have a good relationship with Mister Chen Jia, a former national swimming team. It seems he recommended you to various universities."

"Ah?" Shen Tianyun acted as if he was surprised on the outside, in his heart, he laughed coldly as he knew why Chen Jia doing this. It was because he wanted Shen Tianyun to walk on this path and maybe he probably checked on his background beforehand, that's why he could come up with this move.

" 'Ah?' What? Isn't this a good opportunity for you? I already check about it, all of them are full scholarships, it's covered everything, with this, you don't have to worry about monthly expense anymore." Li Qing said in a relaxed voice.

Shen Tianyun shook his head, "Can I think about it later? I'm still a second-year after all." He wanted to reject all of it instantly but he did not want to listen to Li Qing nagging speech thus, he decided to say this as if he was considering it.

Li Qing nodded her head in satisfactory, "Good, think about it carefully. When you have decided it, you can tell me any time." Seeing Shen Tianyun gave her a small nod in reply, she said further, "Right, it is about the autumn festival now. Do you have any plans?"

Shen Tianyun had an odd expression on his face and grinned mischievously as he asked, "Eh? Teacher Li, don't tell me you want to invite me to somewhere?… Ah? Could it be you are interested in me?"

Li Qing glared at Shen Tianyun angrily, "Who interested in you!? I'm just asking in case you would be lonely." She was concerned about him since he only has Grandma Su with him.

Shen Tianyun chuckled, "Thank you for your concern, Teacher Li. I might celebrate with Mayor Fang's family." Thinking about the Autumn Festival, he could not help but looking in a memory when he celebrated with Shen Xiaohong in the past.
