The red taxi slowly stopped in front of the Jiangcheng Police Station. In the back seat, Xiao Feng asked, "How much is it?"

The driver glanced at the meter, "Twenty-two sixty-five. Just give me twenty-two."

Saying that, he took a business card from the glove compartment and handed it to Xiao Feng, "Here's my contact information. If you need a ride in the future, just give me a call."

Xiao Feng smiled as he took the card, then pulled out a fifty yuan bill, "No need for change, just give me a receipt for a hundred."

The driver was momentarily stunned, then seemed to understand something and couldn't help but shake his head in appreciation, "Buddy, you guys really know how to make money."

Holding the receipt, Xiao Feng strode into the police station where quite a few people stood up to greet him, "Hey Feng!"

Xiao Feng nodded in response, his smile bright and cheerful, showing no signs of being summoned.

From the shadows, Shi Jiaxin looked at Xiao Feng and nudged Song Keren next to her, grinning, "Not bad, he's pretty handsome. I just don't know how he is as a person, but I have to screen him for you."

Song Keren was powerless to explain anymore. Ever since she met Xiao Feng, she had come to deeply understand what it means to be unable to defend oneself.

Led by an officer, Xiao Feng arrived at a familiar interrogation room, with Shi Jiaxin and Song Keren following suit.

However, as the two arrived at the interrogation room, Miao Youmin was just entering.

Song Keren frowned; he had already mentioned wanting to handle this matter personally, yet Miao Youmin still wanted to involve himself. It's obvious he's disregarding her words.

"Let's go." Song Keren said coldly, then opened the door and entered the interrogation room.

The interrogation room was already small, and with four people inside, it suddenly became quite cramped.

"Director Miao, I remember saying an hour ago that I would handle this matter myself." Song Keren said coldly.

Miao Youmin's expression changed, "That's not the right way to put it. As deputy director, it's only fair I put in effort to uphold the dignity of Jiangcheng Police."

In fact, Miao Youmin's plan was simple: take advantage of this golden opportunity to thoroughly put Xiao Feng away.

After all, this time is different from the last, with video evidence and the real injuries of Duan Guotai and his son. The evidence is overwhelming, solid proof.

Inside the station, it's always been rumored that Song Keren's relationship with Xiao Feng is quite unusual, so Miao Youmin preferred to risk offending Song Keren rather than allow her to suppress this matter.

Of course, there was a reason for Miao Youmin's enthusiasm.

Once the task was completed, the benefits he would receive from Shen Tianze alone would be enough for him to live a life of luxury for the rest of his days.

"Director Miao, you should go handle other matters. I can take care of this." Song Keren took a deep breath. Compared to spouting official speak, she'd be no match for Miao Youmin even if there were ten of her.

Miao Youmin stood up and said sternly, "Director Song, though it might not be my place, as a police officer, we should know that anyone with an unusual relationship with a suspect should avoid involvement."

He paused, then sneered, "I heard, Director Song, your relationship with Mr. Xiao here is quite unusual."

Xiao Feng casually cleaned his ears and replied lightly, "If there's no evidence, don't talk nonsense. I even heard people say you're my son."

Shi Jiaxin's eyes lit up. Xiao Feng had been quiet earlier, making her silently criticize him as a coward, just handsome.

But evidently, that conclusion was wrong. This guy's guts were impressive, nearly choking someone with his words.

"Publicly insulting law enforcement officers, do you know what punishment you'll face?" Miao Youmin said angrily.

Xiao Feng responded defiantly, "And what punishment should you face for spreading dirt and stirring trouble with your superior?"

"You!" Miao Youmin's vision darkened. In over thirty years of policing, he'd never seen anyone this bold in the station.

Just then, Shi Jiaxin spoke up, "Director Miao, as Director Song's deputy, openly disobeying orders seems inappropriate, doesn't it?"

Miao Youmin was furious but laughed, repressed by Song Keren, then almost choked by Xiao Feng. Now even a newly transferred forensic doctor dared speak to him this way. Could anyone step on him?

"Bringing up rank with me, huh?" Miao Youmin shouted, "Then I order you as deputy director to leave immediately!"

Shi Jiaxin's eyes flashed with anger. Though her family's standing was slightly lower than Song Keren's, dealing with Miao Youmin would just be a phone call or few words.

Moreover, she was different from Song Keren, able to use family connections.

But just as she was about to erupt, Xiao Feng smirked and looked at Miao Youmin, "Do you know what it means when subordinates follow their superiors? You disregard orders as a deputy, yet expect your subordinates to obey?"

Miao Youmin was livid, but before he could say anything, Song Keren decisively said, "If I can't manage Director Miao, I'll report to higher-ups. Tomorrow, we'll swap positions."

"..." Miao Youmin's face reddened, and after a long pause, he snorted, leaving the interrogation room.

It wasn't that he feared Song Keren reporting him, but he knew staying longer would only cause more frustration. He had to wait for the processing results before intervening.

Inside the interrogation room, Shi Jiaxin calmed herself, looked at Xiao Feng, smiled politely, and extended her fair hand, "Let's officially meet. I'm..."

Before finishing, Xiao Feng interrupted, "Hold on, first reimburse my hundred yuan taxi fare."

Shi Jiaxin's smile froze instantly, while Song Keren sighed, wondering if Xiao Feng was fearless or just heartless.

After a brief understanding of the backstory, Song Keren frowned, "Regardless of the cause, this matter has already caused a negative impact. You might face prosecution soon, and I can't intervene."

Xiao Feng displeased, "You can't be ungrateful. I've given you banners and found leads on criminal activities. Now I'm in trouble, and you won't help?"

"You beat the father and son like that and were filmed, then posted online. How can I intervene?" Song Keren said angrily. It wasn't that she didn't want to help, but the evidence was solid, and without using family resources, her position couldn't suppress it.

"Oh Song Keren, ungrateful bridge burner," Xiao Feng shook his head sadly, "Just last night, I helped you with the bullet. Isn't that life-saving grace?"

"Treating your savior like this, doesn't your conscience hurt?"

With that, Shi Jiaxin suddenly stopped Xiao Feng's critique, eyes glaring, "Wait, did you just say it was you who helped Keren last night with the bullet?!"
