Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Climbing and Biting

How many things can be done in three days?

Three days is enough time for Xu Jie to gather evidence of the crimes committed by Biao and his gang. As for Zhao Er Ye, he’s been embedded in Luocheng for many years, and three days isn’t enough to find any dirt on him. So, they’ll have to settle for arresting Biao and his men first.

Even in the police interrogation room with handcuffs on, Biao remains defiant despite his injuries. He sits with his legs spread, leaning back in his chair, looking down on people with disdain. "Hey, officers, why did you arrest me? I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong lately."

"Oh really? Then take a look at this." The bearded old policeman throws the evidence Xu Jie mailed to the station in front of Biao. He’s disliked these thugs for a long time but never had enough evidence to arrest them. He wonders who they ticked off to have all this sent to the police, enough to keep them in jail for years.

Biao notices the cops’ assertive attitude and mocking expressions. A sense of unease washes over him, as if something bad is about to happen. Even though he’s nervous, he still pretends to be nonchalant as he picks up the documents. "Why the serious face, trying to scare me? Do you think I, Biao, got big by being scared?"

Biao dismissively flips open the file. Just two lines in, he retracts his legs and straightens his back, sweat immediately beading on his forehead. Biao shakily glances at the officer in front of him, then at the documents, stammering, "Where did these come from? Who gave them to you?"

"You don’t have the right to know those answers, but from now on, you’d better answer honestly and cooperate. This could get your sentence reduced—get out sooner. Otherwise, you wouldn’t want your mother to mourn your loss, would you?" The old policeman leans over the table, fingers interlaced, staring at Biao grimly.

But looking through the hospital ward window at Lin Mengyao, obediently sipping soup with her pale face, he restrains himself and forwards the email to her. He wants Lin
