Mu Lingshan asked coldly, not giving the two police officers a chance to speak, immediately raising a new question.

"And, can you tell me whether this inspection is specifically targeting this room or is it a routine check of the entire hotel?"

Although Mu Lingshan's reaction was not as fast as Chu Ge's, by now she had also noticed something amiss.

From here, she could clearly hear the "knock knock" sounds from the neighboring rooms, indicating that their actions were likely targeted, meaning that she might have been singled out for this random check, not just caught in bad luck.

The two police officers' expressions froze, thoroughly stumped by Mu Lingshan's question, leaving them internally questioning.

This woman, without a word, just took their police badges; this attitude is obviously more assertive than usual!

From this viewpoint, there seem to be only two possibilities, either this woman is stirring up trouble, or... she really has some connections.

The tall and skinny officer scrutinized Mu Lingshan more carefully than before, internally questioning more and more, couldn't quite grasp which scenario it was.

The black-faced officer, being more hot-tempered, was a bit embarrassed by Mu Lingshan's words, blurted out, "Who do you think you're talking to, us or yourself?"

Angrily retorting, the black-faced officer couldn't resist getting physical, but the tall officer tugged him back, giving a calming look.

The tall officer, the deputy director at the local station, leading this operation, had been instructed that their main goal was to bring the man in this room back. Although the woman in front of him intrigued him, he didn't want complications before returning to the station.

"Whatever the case, please come with us to cooperate in the investigation?"

The tall officer glanced at Mu Lingshan, then shifted his gaze to Chu Ge on the sofa, though not friendly, his tone was more imposing than before.

"Cooperate? You just burst in unannounced, telling us to go with you, and we just have to comply? Shouldn't you at least give us a convincing reason?"

Now it was Chu Ge speaking, standing up from the sofa unhurriedly, patting Mu Lingshan's shoulder, signaling her with his eyes towards the bathroom where her clothes were.

Whether or not to go to the station depended on Mu Lingshan's decision, but going or not, wearing only a bathrobe wasn't proper.

Mu Lingshan hesitated briefly, said "Don't do anything reckless," then headed towards the bathroom.

Seeing this, the black-faced officer grew more furious, were these two being overly arrogant?

This guy so confidently telling the woman to dress? And the woman even saying, "Don't do anything reckless"?

Damn! These two were blatantly disregarding them!

The tall deputy director slightly furrowed his brow, using his eyes to stop the black-faced officer from hindering Mu Lingshan, allowed her to close the bathroom door and get dressed inside.

Turning his gaze to Chu Ge blocking the bathroom door, the tall deputy director asked coldly, "A reason, huh? Do you not find the current situation reason enough?"

Chu Ge displayed his signature smile, "This counts as reason enough? Since when does the law forbid meeting opposite-gender friends in hotel rooms? I've never heard of such a thing."

The black-faced officer glared, "Do you always meet your opposite-gender friends dressed like that? You find it entertaining to play word games with us?"

The tall deputy director also looked at Chu Ge's robe, and let out a cold snort from his nose, "You know whether you're a client or not, moreover, cooperating with law enforcement is every citizen's duty."

"Alright, I will cooperate with your investigation." Chu Ge shrugged, though internally furious, he smiled more cheerfully, "Just know, if you've caught the wrong person, I won't promise I won't come after you for it."

The tall deputy director sneered inwardly, coming after us? Ha, isn't it too early to say that now? You don't have to act all slick with me, wait till we're on my turf, then you'll have plenty to pursue!

Thinking sinisterly, the deputy director maintained a stern and serious expression, "Rest assured on that point, if there's indeed a mistake in our work, we will give you an explanation, but for now, you must cooperate with our work."

Chu Ge gestured with a nonchalant smile, turning his back and went inside to the suite, under the watchful eyes of the two officers he casually got dressed.

Upon seeing the scars on Chu Ge's body, the two officers were momentarily stunned, then a cold grin appeared in their eyes, these scars on Chu Ge were practically a stroke of good luck for them.

Once Chu Ge was fully dressed, the bathroom door opened as well, and Mu Lingshan walked out with an icy expression, shot a cold glance at the two officers, "Taking us to the station, right? Let's go then, shall we?"

Hearing the voice from behind, the two officers were slightly startled again, today seemed to be quite the anomaly, typically, they should be the ones to say that line, right?

Especially the deputy director, feeling hesitant from the start, now found it even stranger, aside from being a bit flustered initially, this woman had become more composed, maybe she really had a bit of background behind her?

Thinking of this, the Deputy Director furrowed his brow slightly, oh well, since things have reached this point, he decided not to bother too much about it. At worst, he could just treat her a bit more politely after returning to the police station.

At this moment, Chu Ge was also somewhat surprised. Although he was more inclined to go to the police station, he thought that Mu Lingshan might not feel the same way. It seemed Mu Lingshan was genuinely angry now, perhaps even more furious than he was?

Mu Lingshan was indeed very angry and extremely upset, she couldn't even remember the last time she had been this angry.

This night was supposed to be wonderful, yet it was completely ruined. Moreover, the nasty attitude of the two cops after entering the room only added to her irritation.

Didn't Chu Ge always call her Tiger Girl? Fine, tonight she would show her tiger's prowess, otherwise, wouldn't she be letting those two scumbags who saw her as a sick cat down?

Fifteen minutes later, Chu Ge and Mu Lingshan were seated in the police van and arrived at the police station.

The Deputy Director got off the car but didn't enter immediately. Instead, he confirmed that no one was around at the police station entrance, then dialed a number.

"Director Chang, it's Xiao Zhou. The situation reported by the public is true, I've brought the person back to the station."

"Haha, well done. Director Zhou, responding to a call so late for the sake of societal harmony, you're truly an exemplar in our police force."

"Don't dare to claim the title. Serving the people is my duty, as long as I'm in this police uniform, it's what I ought to do."

"By the way, I've heard that at your station, occasionally some suspects encounter unexpected accidents?"

The Deputy Director smiled faintly, immediately chiming in, "Sometimes, indeed, there are isolated incidents."

"Oh, so I'm not entirely ignorant, haha. For instance?"

"For example... fainting due to anxiety, accidental cuts from sharp objects, self-harm due to extreme emotions."

"Encountering such troublesome suspects must be quite a headache for you. Ah, grassroots work is tough. By the way, apart from those you mentioned, do you occasionally have more serious accidents that directly lead to a suspect's death?"

The Deputy Director's pupils contracted, inhaling sharply, his smile freezing in an instant, and his brows subconsciously furrowing.

"Haha, Director Zhou, why aren't you speaking? Is there something inaccurate in what I've heard?"

The Deputy Director's gaze wandered, hesitating for two seconds, "This... in extreme cases, indeed such accidents have occurred."

"By the way, Director Zhou, I've also heard... that men whose bodies are hollowed out by wine and women, and lead a somewhat dissolute life, have a higher chance of such accidents?"

The Deputy Director's heart stirred. If earlier he was simply guessing, now he was certain, Director Chang's intention wasn't merely to teach that john a lesson, but rather... to take the man's life!

"Director Zhou?"

"Ah, yes, Director Chang, you say."

"Haha, let's not talk about such dismal topics. Oh, I've recently heard some things about your Director and might need to get in touch with him soon. Do you have anything you'd like to tell me?"

The Deputy Director's eyes lit up, the gloom in his heart subsided a bit.

After all, Chang Xin's Inspection Department was notorious for ending careers. Since Director Chang put it this way, it's clear he was hinting to him that their Director's good days were numbered.

As for whose hands the vacant Director's position would fall into when the time came... need it be said? Of course, he was the most qualified!

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva secretly, the Deputy Director's mind was again pondering, how exactly had that man he brought back offended Chang Xin? This overseer from the Inspection Department actually wanted that guy dead?

Of course, curiosity aside, the Deputy Director only needed to catch the implication in Chang Xin's words; there was definitely no need to ask extra questions or say anything negative about their Director.

Otherwise, it would make him seem too eager for quick success, waiting for any chance to bite hard into his superior. Even if he really wanted to do so, he'd have to hold back, because otherwise, it would bring him nothing but harm in his political career.

"This... to be honest, I'm not very familiar with our Director's personal life, Director Chang, I'm really sorry."

While saying this, the Deputy Director was pondering whether to kill that john.

For the position of Director, is it worth it?
