Fang Nan was clearly skeptical and gave Ye Fan a stern glance. "Then why is everyone so battered and bloody?"
"Ahem, officer," Ye Fan coughed. "We were just sparring. It's inevitable to get some minor injuries. Nothing serious, right?"
"Right, right, the boss is right!" Lv Mao and the others reluctantly agreed.
However, as the head of the Major Crimes Unit, Fang Nan saw through the ruse at a glance. She could clearly tell that Lv Mao and his gang were terrified of Ye Fan. Immediately, she ordered, "Take all of them back to the station!"
"Officer, I'm innocent! You can't frame a good person," Ye Fan complained.
But Fang Nan stared at him imperiously. "Whether you're a good person or not isn't for you to decide. Take them away!"
"Whoa, no need to be so fierce!"
Despite his protests, Ye Fan and Lv Mao's group were taken away.
In the car, Ye Fan was not one to sit still. He turned to Fang Nan and asked, "Beautiful officer, how old are you? Do you have a boyfriend?"
Seeing the cheeky grin on his face, Fang Nan couldn't stop herself from throwing a punch, but Ye Fan blocked it.
Fang Nan was stunned. She was a combat expert on the police force, yet her punch had been blocked. Crucially, the man who blocked it was wearing handcuffs. At that moment, she recalled the alarming scene at the airport when Ye Fan had somehow deflected a bullet with his body.
Ye Fan chuckled. "I'm telling you, beautiful officer, I'm a law-abiding citizen. You should try to be a little nicer!"
"Tighten his cuffs!" Fang Nan ordered coldly.
Ye Fan sighed helplessly. "I say, beautiful, with a temper that fiery, aren't you afraid you'll end up a widow?"
"You!"
Fang Nan raised her fist to strike him again, but Ye Fan suddenly yelled, "Is there no law anymore?! Someone's abusing their authority! I'm going to die! I'm dead!"
Burning with rage, Fang Nan vowed to teach this shameless bastard a lesson as soon as they got back to the station.
Arriving at the police station, Fang Nan began her interrogation.
"Name!"
"Ye Fan."
"Gender!"
"For crying out loud, don't you have eyes? Do I really have to drop my pants to prove it to you?" Ye Fan said in frustration.
"Cut the crap and answer the question!" Fang Nan snapped.
"Male," Ye Fan replied helplessly.
"Address?"
"Plum Blossom Garden."
Ye Fan answered all her questions honestly.
At that moment, Fang Nan was busy writing down the information, but Ye Fan's eyes were gleaming. He had just spotted a mysterious region. It was Fang Nan's, as a button on her shirt had come loose, giving Ye Fan a perfect view of the magnificent scenery within.
Not bad at all. Soft, yet resilient. I never thought this fiery policewoman would be so well-endowed! Ye Fan thought to himself.
Just then, Fang Nan looked up, catching him in the act. Her gaze flickered from Ye Fan's face down to her own chest, and her expression immediately soured with fury. She hurled her notebook at him, but Ye Fan dodged it again.
"I'll kill you, you shameless bastard!" Fang Nan, her face beet red, launched a flurry of kicks and punches.
With a simple twist of his wrists, Ye Fan slipped out of his handcuffs. He caught Fang Nan's arms, and when she tried to kick him, he tapped her leg with his foot. This sent her off balance, and she tumbled directly into his embrace. His hands landed on those soft mountains.
So soft, and they feel amazing, was his only thought.
To the two officers watching the surveillance monitor, the scene looked less like a fight and more like flirtatious banter.
"See that? The captain is getting so intimate with this guy. It seems even the wildest woman eventually falls into a man's arms."
"Yeah, this guy's got some real skill, taming a wild mare like our captain."
The two of them laughed as they provided their running commentary, completely unaware that Fang Nan had actually been subdued by Ye Fan. In their minds, it was just a small quarrel between a young couple and none of their business. Besides, they figured, if there was nothing between them, why would Fang Nan be interrogating him alone? Even if that could be explained away, why would they be flirting so openly in an interrogation room?
Deciding to give them some privacy, the two officers simply turned off the monitor.
Inside the interrogation room, unable to resist Ye Fan's hold, Fang Nan finally snapped, "You! Let go of me!"
It was the first time she had ever been this close to a man, and she flushed with embarrassment.
But Ye Fan just said, "I'll let you go, but only if you improve your attitude. No more hitting and kicking!"
"Fine!"
Ye Fan released her. Fang Nan immediately pulled out her gun and aimed it at him. "I'll kill you!"
So violent! She pulls out a gun at the drop of a hat. What a beautiful, violent policewoman.
Just then, her phone rang.
Fang Nan answered it. The call was from her superior. "Director Wei, what is it?"
"Nan, did you arrest a Mr. Ye Fan?"
"Yes. I'm interrogating him right now," Fang Nan replied.
She was about to shoot me, and she calls this an interrogation? I may not be the most educated guy, but you can't fool me that easily, Ye Fan muttered to himself.
"Please release the gentleman," Director Wei said. "The president of Qingcheng International just called me to post his bail. This whole thing is just a small misunderstanding!"
"I absolutely refuse to release him!" Fang Nan retorted, still fuming. How could she be willing to let Ye Fan go just like that?
Director Wei sounded exasperated on the other end of the line. "Oh, Nan, please don't make things difficult for me. Just release him. Please, consider it a favor for Uncle Wei."
"Hmph!"
Since Director Wei had put it that way, Fang Nan felt she had no choice. Even though she had powerful connections, she was still his subordinate. Reluctantly, she hung up and barked at Ye Fan, "Sign the papers, you bastard!"
"See? You wronged an innocent man again," Ye Fan said, giving her a look that screamed, 'You can't stand me, but you can't do anything about it.' "It's a good thing I have a good temper. Anyone else would have filed a complaint with your superior by now!"
Fang Nan kicked at him, but her foot slipped. She lost her balance and stumbled forward, her lips pressing against Ye Fan's in an intimate collision.
For a moment, Fang Nan was stunned.
Even Ye Fan was stunned.
They quickly pulled apart. Ye Fan broke the silence with a laugh. "Beautiful officer, I know I'm handsome, but you can't just make a move on me like that!"
"I'll kill you!" Fang Nan shrieked.
Ye Fan immediately fled.
Left alone and seething with fury, Fang Nan smashed her phone on the floor.
Outside, the two officers in their forties who had been watching before gave him a thumbs-up. "Buddy, you're incredible! You can actually handle our captain!" They gave him sympathetic looks.
Ye Fan stretched casually. "In front of a woman, a man should always be a gentleman. Of course, in bed, it's better to be a little rough."
Profound. Truly profound. The two officers stared at Ye Fan with eyes full of worship.
Not long after Ye Fan left, an angry Fang Nan came out of the interrogation room, her shift over. The two officers watched her go. Although Fang Nan was the department's prettiest flower, she was a violent one with thorns that no one dared to touch.
Although they said nothing, their expressions said it all. It was as if they were telling her that all men make mistakes, and she should learn to forgive him instead of constantly dragging him to the station for punishment. This wasn't her personal playground, after all.
"Get lost!" Fang Nan yelled, her face flushing red with embarrassment.
The two officers immediately turned around, staring up at the sky as if they had no idea what was going on.
