Chapter 913: Chapter 913: All Hands on Deck
On the steps of the sixth floor, Lin Fan lit a cigarette, bored.
From the moment Liu Shengrui broke the door until the police arrived, he silently watched it all.
The room was a mess now, yet he remained unmoving, merely observing everything with indifference.
If it weren’t for the treasures provided by Chu Shiyuan, he wouldn’t dare to casually enter someone else’s home. After all, as his position gradually improved, it became harder to gauge those around him.
Just like Liu Ruixun currently, who seemed to always respect him, but secretly schemed against him. If caught in bed today, the scandal would be unimaginable. Hence, every step going forward must be as if treading on thin ice; such are the political battles, bloodless yet deadly.
However, the leader just now turned out to be Xu Guangfa, the former Lotus Town police station chief, which brought a smile to his lips. This old acquaintance’s arrival had indeed helped him greatly.
Unaware of Lin Fan’s whereabouts, Liu Shengrui crouched on the ground with his head in his hands, loudly arguing with the police, "This is my house... I thought my wife was cheating... That’s why I brought people back, Officer... This isn’t a home invasion!"
"Can you just break the lock of your own house and rush in to take nude photographs?"
Xu Guangfa looked at Xu Jingyi coming out of the room, handed her the phones, and then said, "Based on our inspection of the tools, there are a lot of nude photos inside. Check them and dispose of them later."
"Wasn’t it illegal for them to break into my house and destroy the lock?"
Xu Jingyi swiftly took out the memory card, cut it with scissors, and glared angrily at Liu Shengrui.
"It’s illegal, but doesn’t count as burglary. However, invading privacy and taking private photos requires detention."
Xu Guangfa’s words turned Liu Shengrui’s face pale: "No way, I’m a civil servant... If detained, I’ll lose my job... This is my house... Breaking in can’t be illegal... Their filming is their thing... You can’t arrest me!"
"Liu... How can you say that!"
"What are you talking about? If not for your instructions, could I have come in? How can you sell us out now!"
Unexpectedly, Liu Shengrui betrayed his companions; the two were instantly displeased, but Liu Shengrui hung his head as if he hadn’t heard them, caring only about avoiding detention.
"Alright then, take them back, charge them with forcible entry, invasion of privacy, and obscenity!"
Liu Shengrui was indeed correct; he wasn’t involved in taking photos, only broke the bedroom door, insufficient for a criminal case. But just as Xu Guangfa was preparing to take the two away, someone suddenly stood up: "If you’re heartless, don’t blame me for being unjust, Officer, I want to report something!"
"Reporting what?"
"Reporting him for soliciting prostitutes!"
This statement stunned everyone, including Liu Shengrui crouching on the ground. If this escalates, it’s far more serious than mere detention—he’d surely lose his job. So he quickly stood up, grabbing the other’s arm: "Dogzi, don’t talk nonsense!"
"I’m not talking nonsense, I have videos and photos as proof..."
Dogzi shook off Liu Shengrui’s arm, directly took out a phone and handed it to the police: "Here is evidence of him soliciting, along with a bill, a public official visiting a brothel... What now!"
"Alright, take them all!"
Xu Guangfa holding the phone looked at the trembling Liu Shengrui, who grab Xu Jingyi’s arm: "Wife... Quickly... Ask County Magistrate Lin to save me... I can’t be detained... Otherwise, I’ll lose my job!"
"Have you no shame?"
Xu Jingyi raised her hand, giving him a slap: "Weren’t you just about to catch them in bed... Now you have the nerve to ask for help. Why don’t you stay inside and reflect."
"Wife... I was wrong... I won’t dare again!"
Liu Shengrui still tried to struggle but was already handcuffed by Xu Guangfa, hustled out the door. Meanwhile, Xu Jingyi stood coldly by the window, watching the three being taken to the police car, growing increasingly irritated with her already disappointing life.
"Feeling moody?"
At that moment, Lin Fan’s voice came from behind her, his hands wrapped around her slender waist, pressing the iron pestle against her luscious behind, the heat felt even through her skirt.
"Such a person can’t affect my mood... I just regret marrying him back then."
Leaning into Lin Fan’s embrace, Xu Jingyi murmured, the ten-plus years of marriage flashing before her within minutes. She couldn’t determine right or wrong; after all, she’d given herself to Lin Fan too, but the disappointment was indescribable.
"Past events are hard to recall; better to cherish the present. Some things must happen for today’s self. Isn’t that so?"
Caressing Xu Jingyi’s soft chest, Lin Fan whispered in her ear.
"You’re right."
Turning around, Xu Jingyi slowly knelt on the ground, pulled down Lin Fan’s pants, and opened her mouth: "Then tonight, you’d better give me a good one!"
