Chapter 84: A Living Ghost (2)

Though she found Lin Fan mysterious, she had a feeling that one day he would certainly have more than one woman at his side. She did not know why she thought this, but she did not want to share the same man with another woman, especially not a man like Lin Fan...

Knowing that Lin Fan had not escaped from custody, Zhao Ying finally relaxed, and Li Kun slowly let out a breath as well. Turning around, he barked directly, "Sun Wei, didn't you say Mr. Lin had escaped?"

Li Kun had already interrogated the Green Gang people. He knew the dead man was one of their leaders, Cai Liren, and that Cai Liren's background was far from clean. There had already been a file on him at the police bureau. Using both sternness and leniency, Li Kun released part of the group and settled the matter directly.

After all, higher authorities had already ordered him to handle it himself. The dead man was not some famous public figure, merely a small-time underworld boss. Even if Lin Fan had killed him, it could be counted as maintaining public order, so Li Kun did not dare call Lin Fan a murderer anymore. He could only change his address and call him Mr. Lin.

Sun Wei was like a man swallowing bitter coptis, unable to voice his suffering. He should never have listened to Yan Dong in the first place. Wasn't this just like lifting a stone only to drop it on his own feet? And now look at this: the man had vanished without a trace, while he was the one being scolded here. "I... I... last night he really did knock me out and escape. I don't know what happened either," Sun Wei stammered. He simply could not understand how Lin Fan could suddenly appear in the detention room when everything had been normal.

"Then how do you explain this now? Why is he here? Did his brain fill with water and he come back on his own?" Li Kun roared in anger.

At Li Kun's words, Lin Fan, who was enjoying himself, slightly furrowed his brow. Why did that sound so awkward? Damn it, it almost felt like he was cursing himself.

"Bureau Chief Li, I really don't know. If you don't believe me, you can ask those criminals inside. They definitely saw him escape last night," Sun Wei said helplessly, glancing through the door window at Lin Fan lying on the bed. He could not help muttering after he finished, "This is really bloody ghostly."

The criminals inside heard this and all shook their heads toward this side, indicating that Lin Fan had stayed here the whole night and had not escaped at all. At this point, they would rather offend the police than provoke Lin Fan. Even while speaking, their hands continued massaging Lin Fan's shoulders and legs.

Seeing that all these criminals were actually standing on Lin Fan's side, Sun Wei was instantly dumbfounded and did not know what to say. As for Lin Fan, from beginning to end he had not even opened his eyes, simply enjoying this emperor-like treatment.

"Hmph, I think you don't want this job anymore. If you want to go back to the countryside and farm, just say so," Li Kun said coldly. Seeing Sun Wei's evasive eyes, he knew the man was definitely hiding something, so he immediately laid down harsh words.

Sun Wei's family was from the countryside. After graduating from university, he had finally relied on his own ability to become a small policeman at the bureau. But because of financial reasons, he could not really establish himself in the city, so he began following Yan Dong around, occasionally using his authority to make some extra money. Now that Li Kun had said such things, he was frightened into complete panic and did not know whether he should expose Yan Dong.

"Fine, you can go write your resignation report," Li Kun waved his hand, signaling Sun Wei to leave.

"Don't, don't, Bureau Chief Li, I'll speak, I'll speak. It was Team Leader Yan, Team Leader Yan told me to do this," by now, Sun Wei hurriedly sold out Yan Dong.

"Yan Dong?" Li Kun showed a puzzled expression. How did Lin Fan's escape have anything to do with his brother-in-law?

Then Sun Wei recounted Yan Dong's instructions to him from beginning to end. As for whether Lin Fan had really escaped or not, he truly could not figure it out.

After opening the detention room door, Li Kun quickly walked over to Lin Fan.

"Mr. Lin, rest assured, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter," after hearing Sun Wei's account, Li Kun was now even more certain that Lin Fan had been falsely accused.

"Also, I've already investigated clearly. You were framed. The person who died was one of the underworld, and he had long since violated the law. He got what he deserved." Since he had already found out the truth, the best course was to get this lord out of here as quickly as possible!

Unconsciously, even Li Kun's way of addressing Lin Fan changed to "you." In his eyes, with Zhao Fanglin, the municipal party secretary, personally stepping in to help Lin Fan, it was enough to show that Lin Fan's identity was no simple matter. He was certainly not just a little security guard like his brother-in-law had claimed. Besides, could a man Zhao Ying had taken a liking to really have an ordinary background?

Zhao Ying had not expected Yan Dong to have also been involved in this matter, but right now the most important thing was that Lin Fan was safe. She walked straight over to him and, seeing how comfortable he looked, said, "You're really in a mood for leisure. Want me to give you a massage too?" She had been worrying herself sick outside, while he was in here enjoying himself like an emperor. Now that she had come in, he did not even glance at her. Thinking of this, Zhao Ying shot Lin Fan a resentful, hard look.

Lin Fan had been half-squinting his eyes anyway, so he naturally saw Zhao Ying's expression. Hearing her words, he quickly sat up and said, "No, no..."

How could he not know what kind of massage Zhao Ying meant? If she massaged him that way, he might as well go smash his head against a wall.

Waving his hand, Lin Fan motioned for the prisoners to stop. Then he stood up and said, "Then I'll wait for Bureau Chief Li's explanation."

Since Yan Dong was already dead, and the father and son from the Yu family probably would not be able to jump around for much longer, Lin Fan could not be bothered with this place. He was only saying something ceremonially.

"Also, I hope Bureau Chief Li can look after the inmates in this detention room a little more in the future," Lin Fan said lightly, glancing at the prisoners.

The prisoners felt as though they had been unexpectedly favored. Seeing the bureau chief's attitude toward this lord just now, they knew Lin Fan's words would definitely carry weight. Their eyes toward Lin Fan instantly filled with gratitude. They had not expected that, even as he was leaving, he would help them out.

For Lin Fan, it was only a sentence, but for these prisoners it was a great gift. Do not underestimate a single line like this; it could save them from doing a lot of work, giving a lot of bribes, and being beaten up from time to time...

"Let's go. Or do you really want to live here?" Zhao Ying gave Lin Fan a sideways look and said.

"Lord, walk slowly," the group of prisoners called out in unison.

Lin Fan laughed softly and said nothing, following closely behind Zhao Ying as she walked out. Halfway there, he suddenly turned back and gave Sun Wei a faint smile, saying nothing at all. That smile was full of a wicked, sinister air, making Sun Wei shiver uncontrollably.

After Lin Fan left the detention room, Li Kun gave Sun Wei a vicious glare and snorted coldly. "When this matter is over, I'll settle accounts with you." With that, he stepped out as well, inwardly relieved that this hot potato had finally been thrown away. Otherwise, who knew when he might be dragged down by this bastard?

As soon as Lin Fan left, the prisoners suddenly gathered together and stared at Sun Wei ferociously, frightening the man so badly that he hurried out of the detention room, nearly forgetting to close the door. Right now he could barely protect himself, let alone discipline these criminals.

Besides, Lin Fan had specifically warned him just now. If he dared to teach these prisoners a lesson at this time, wouldn't that be openly opposing Lin Fan? All he could do now was hope that Yan Dong could speak up for him later, so that he might still have a chance to remain at the bureau.

"It's gone cold. I'll go buy you another one," Zhao Ying said in the duty room, touching the buns and soy milk that had already gone cold.

"No need. I'm in great shape. I'll make do," Lin Fan said with a grin, casually taking hold of Zhao Ying before she could go out. The two of them found a place to sit down.

Back when he was with Eagle Strike, Lin Fan would often go out on missions that required him to lie low in one place for a very long time, waiting for the enemy to appear. At those times, the food he ate was not just worse than this by a little. So his standards for food were not high. Besides, the food was only cold; it was not moldy or rotten.

Actually, there was another reason. When Lin Fan saw Zhao Ying in the detention room just now, he knew she had probably not slept well last night. Her face was somewhat pale, and her eyes were a little swollen. There was no need to say it; she must have been worried about him. Having such a woman love him and stay by his side was enough to satisfy Lin Fan. But in his heart, there was always another woman hidden away, and he could not let go of her. Truly could not let her go...
