Chapter 265: Set off to rescue Fatty Chen

Police Station.

"What did you say!?" Zhang Shen'er stood up abruptly, visibly agitated.

Lu Chengwen looked at her calmly: "So I must see Ma Chengkun face-to-face."

"That's against the rules."

Lu Chengwen said, "Last time the entire city's police force changed their uniforms, I donated over ten million! Now, all I want is to see a detained suspect and ask a few questions. Why is that against the rules?"

"Be rational, can you? A donation is a donation; you're just an ordinary citizen who wants to see a suspect. That's against regulations! There is no law that permits this! I'm a police officer; I can't break the law knowingly! I can't give special treatment just because you're wealthy!"

"What do you mean by special treatment? Where's your chief? I'll talk to him!"

"It's no use talking to anyone!"

Zhang Shen'er's stance was firm: "I know you want to save someone. I can go interrogate him, and I'll go right now."

"Time, sister! Time is money!"

Zhang Shen'er kept a stern face: "No matter what, the law cannot be trampled upon. Rules are rules and must be strictly followed! The law is the law; we can't cross the line!"

Lu Chengwen was so angry he was about to explode.

Zhang Shen'er said, "Unless you follow me quietly, and while I'm distracted, sneak into the interrogation room. If you do that, for the safety of you and the suspect, not just me but everyone in the police station will be in a difficult position."

Lu Chengwen froze for a moment, then Zhang Shen'er was already walking away.

Lu Chengwen quickly followed her.

At the interrogation room, Zhang Shen'er pushed open the door: "Ma Chengkun, I have questions for you!"

Lu Chengwen suddenly burst past Zhang Shen'er and grabbed Ma Chengkun, starting to beat him up.

All the police officers were startled. Zhang Shen'er spread her arms: "Don't act recklessly, let's see what Lu Chengwen wants to do!"

What did Lu Chengwen want to do?

One word—beat!

Lu Chengwen didn't use his martial arts skills as a top-tier master; if he had, Ma Chengkun would have been dead by now.

But even so, it was enough to make him suffer miserably. Grabbing his hair, banging, kicking, punching, choking, biting...

Ma Chengkun was completely stunned.

He was told he was going to be interrogated, brought from his cell to the interrogation room, and before he could sit down, Lu Chengwen burst in, grabbed his hair, and started beating him up!

Ma Chengkun couldn't endure it anymore: "Police! He's hitting me! He's hitting me! Are you just going to stand there!? Are you going to do something!?"

Zhang Shen'er said sternly, "Lu Chengwen! Stop it right now! If you keep hitting him… I'll get angry!"

Ma Chengkun thought, Are you insane!?

Are you seriously insane!?

You're angry!?

This is ridiculous! How could that be intimidating? Why weren't you this gentle when interrogating me?

Ma Chengkun howled, "Ahhh! Ahhh! Isn't hitting me illegal!? Isn't it illegal!?"

Lu Chengwen kept hitting him.

Zhang Shen'er scolded angrily, "Lu Chengwen! Stop it! I'm warning you, hitting a suspect… hey?"

Zhang Shen'er turned around: "Is it illegal for an ordinary citizen to hit a suspect?"

The police officer nearby was stunned: "I… I'm new here, I'm not sure, it should… probably be illegal…"

"Check it."

"Okay."

Ma Chengkun spat blood: "Damn you police officers, what are you doing? Just watching him beat me up!? You useless bunch! You good-for-nothings!"

Zhang Shen'er said sternly, "Ma Chengkun! I warn you, don't be so arrogant!"

Ma Chengkun's eyes widened: "I'm being arrogant!? I'm being arrogant!?"

Zhang Shen'er said, "Him hitting you might be illegal; we need to check. But you insulting law enforcement is definitely illegal!"

Lu Chengwen grabbed Ma Chengkun's hair, forced him to bend down, and rammed his knee into his nose.

Blood spurted out from Ma Chengkun's nose, and he moaned in pain, "Officer Zhang, help… help me… help…"

"Boss, I found it!"

"Really? What does it say?"

"Here, if an ordinary citizen assaults a suspect and the situation is serious, it can be considered a disturbance of public order, classified as mutual assault between the two parties! Both will be fined 2,000 yuan and detained for five to fifteen days. But Lu Chengwen is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, a special status, so by law, he can be exempt from detention. But the fine will be doubled!"

Lu Chengwen and Ma Chengkun, with four eyes between them, looked at the officer who finished speaking.

Zhang Shen'er said, "Lu Chengwen, did you hear that? The law isn't a joke; anyone who breaks it will face strict punishment!"

She then threatened Lu Chengwen harshly: "The fine is doubled! Think about it carefully; if you think you can afford it, then keep hitting him."

Lu Chengwen nodded: "Four thousand? I'll risk it!"

Ma Chengkun felt he was being toyed with.

Seriously, Officer Zhang? Four thousand yuan to deter Lu Chengwen?

Is this supposed to stop him? This is basically encouraging him to beat me to death!

Four thousand yuan… not even I would care!

Ma Chengkun was nearly scared to death: "Mutual assault!? This is attempted murder! I'm handcuffed, how can it be mutual!? You… you're just covering for each other, bullying an innocent man."

Lu Chengwen slapped him across the face: "Innocent? You, innocent? My ass!"

Then he grabbed Ma Chengkun and continued beating him up!

Ma Chengkun's screams echoed throughout the room.

Zhang Shen'er said sternly, "Lu Chengwen! Watch your language, this is a police station!"

Ma Chengkun howled, "Is that the point!? Is that seriously the point? He's trying to kill me, and you're concerned about him minding his language!? Ahhh—!"

Lu Chengwen shouted as he beat him, "Talk! Talk! Will you talk!?"

Finally, he pressed him to the ground, grabbed his hair, and banged his head against the floor: "Say it! Speak! Speak—!"

Ma Chengkun's eyes went dull, and blood spewed from his mouth: "You… you bastard… you… should at least… ask…"

Lu Chengwen paused for a moment: "Huh? Oh… right…"

Mark Chengkun revealed the information Lu Chengwen desperately wanted to know.

Lu Chengwen released Mark Chengkun, "Four thousand bucks, I'll have my secretary wire the payment to you guys."

"Forget it," Zhang Shen'er said calmly, "It's just four thousand. I'll cover it. Consider this round on me."

"Righteous!" Lu Chengwen said, "I'll treat you someday too."

Zhang Shen'er scoffed, "I'm a cop. I can beat him up for free, anytime, anywhere. Just as long as there are no cameras."

Lu Chengwen paused, "You're tougher than me."

Mark Chengkun could barely cry anymore; he couldn't even stand.

"You're too ruthless, too ruthless! Compared to you, what kind of villain am I? You treat beating me like sipping bubble tea, and now you're even offering to pay for it... I'll sue you! I'll sue you all!"

Zhang Shen'er leaned in, "Villains are cunning, so good people need to be even more cunning. Otherwise, how could we make you talk? The cameras weren't even on. Who will you sue? My relatives fill the entire police force, and the guy who beat you up is worth billions, building homes for tens of thousands of people... So I ask you, do you really want to sue? Who are you going to sue?"

"Uh?" Mark Chengkun stared at Zhang Shen'er in shock. He suddenly realized her eyes were as cold and cruel as could be.

It dawned on him that the person who hated him most was probably Zhang Shen'er.

Mark Chengkun sobbed, "Officer Zhang, I won't sue anyone. I won't speak about your affairs. I... I'm hurt. I'll just say I fell down the stairs myself, okay? Could you please find me a doctor? I'm begging you, please!"

Zhang Shen'er sneered, "Of course."

Then she leaned even closer to the blood-smeared face of Mark Chengkun, "But remember this."

Mark Chengkun was frightened by the burning hatred in her eyes, "Re... remember what?"

"It doesn't matter. Just make sure you remember."

Mark Chengkun had a feeling that Zhang Shen'er would play him to death sooner or later.

As he was being dragged away, he shouted, "Remember what?! Give me a hint! Are we going to a hospital? This doesn't look like it..."

...

Walking out of the police station, Zhang Shen'er caught up, "What are you planning to do?"

Lu Chengwen replied, "I have my methods."

"I'm warning you, you cannot break the law!"

Lu Chengwen looked at her, "I won't break the law, but I must save him."

"The person might already have been transported abroad. How do you plan to save him?"

"I'll go abroad."

"Lu Chengwen, handling cases and rescuing people is the duty of the police. We'll organize a rescue team as soon as possible for Chen Moqun. Your role is to wait quietly at home for news."

Lu Chengwen stared at her, "I will, but I just happen to need to go abroad to inspect a project. Let me know when you have any updates."

"Wait a moment!" Zhang Shen'er paused for a long time, "I'm going with you."

Lu Chengwen was confused, "Why would you go?"

"I said, I'm going with you!"

"What are you going for?"

"To save someone."

"Sis, don't mess around. I'm going for business!"

"Then I'll go with you for business."

Lu Chengwen knew her intentions.

"Sis, you're a cop, and I'm a businessman. Who goes to business talks with a cop in tow?"

"You won't agree? Fine, then I'll restrict your travel right now. Let's see if your private jet can take off!"

Lu Chengwen was infuriated.

[So annoying! Really, so annoying!]

[She ought to be tied up so she behaves for a while! Put on that uniform, and suddenly you don't recognize anyone!]

[This kind of pesky woman should be tied up every day! Smacked to death!]

Zhang Shen'er heard Lu Chengwen's inner thoughts, fuming with rage, but she still kept her eyes locked on him.

Lu Chengwen was becoming more and more of an enigma in her mind.

A man whose thoughts could be heard was strange enough to be considered bizarre.

Combined with the recent chaos surrounding him, it was clear that she was driven by an inner voice telling her she must stick with him!

Maybe, by sticking with him, she could solve the case!

Lu Chengwen glared at Zhang Shen'er and took out his phone, "Shihan, prep the private jet. Have Hua Xuening stay behind to protect Chen Mengyun. The strategist and King Jin Tuo are coming with me to Nanyan."

Jiang Shihan was efficient.

She contacted the aviation department right away, securing a special route to Nanyan, of course at a cost.

Simultaneously, she reached out to a business gala in Nanyan. Initially, the Dasheng Group wasn't invited.

But if a billion-dollar group's CEO wanted to join last minute, they were more than welcome.

On the plane.

Lu Chengwen stared blankly out the window.

[I have to save Fatty Chen! He absolutely cannot be harmed!]

[Right now, one wrong move affects everything; if Chen Moqun gets hurt, the entire Chen family will be thrown into turmoil.]

[Then Xiangyun Group might face internal power struggles, morale wavering, and the slum renovation project, as four pillars, will crumble if even one falls.]

[Fatty Chen! Hold on! My brother, no one can kill you!]

Zhang Shen'er observed Lu Chengwen's deeply furrowed brows, listening to his thoughts, and thought:

This guy is unexpectedly loyal.

The CEO of a billion-dollar group, who hadn't kept close ties with Chen Fatty for a while?

I thought you were just birds of a feather, but you actually share brotherhood?

This guy, with his loyalty and broad-mindedness, is unexpectedly charming!

Just then, the lights on the plane dimmed to an ambiguous hue, and music began to play.

Lu Chengwen was stunned.

A flight attendant started dancing around a pole, and two others approached with glasses of wine. One even sat directly on Lu Chengwen's lap, swaying seductively.

Zhang Shen'er thought gloomily:

I knew it! This guy isn't a good person!
