But he could only complete a third of his movements before he couldn't continue. And it wasn't just him. The four people holding Zhou Xuan down couldn't move their hands. Zhou Xuan reached out and slapped the man who was about to slap him across the face. It was a loud slap!
"This is what you wanted to give me, so I'll give it back to you!" Zhou Xuan said with a sneer. "I don't think you can do things openly. If you are truly good police officers, doing good deeds for the people and the country, I respect you. But abusing your power and acting recklessly, I'm telling you, I won't serve you. Bring it on, whatever you want!"
Zhou Xuan's incredibly arrogant words immediately surprised Director Gao and the six men in the room. Moreover, Zhou Xuan had even slapped one of their men while under their control. How could such a thing happen?
If word gets out, nobody will believe it!
The section chief suddenly stood up and shouted, "Beat them! Beat them to death!"
But despite his words and shouts, the four burly men were unable to move. After slapping the man, Zhou Xuan slowly sat back down in his chair, showing no sign of panic or anxiety.
The two men guarding the door were stunned for a moment, then rushed over, throwing punches and kicks, trying to teach Zhou Xuan a lesson.
But after rushing to within a meter of Zhou Xuan, they froze in place as if rooted to the spot. Zhou Xuan stood up and gave them a good beating, then clapped his hands and sat back down in his chair. He then said, "I'm telling you, what you did is not worthy of my respect, so I will return the favor exactly as it was done to you. What you were planning to do to me, I will return to you in kind!"
After saying that, he said to Director Gao, "Take the statement quickly, I need to go home after I finish!"
Where had Director Gao ever seen anything like this? There were plenty of ruthless bandits, but as fierce as they were, they were nothing like the bizarre scene unfolding before Zhou Xuan. There were seven of them, all skilled in hand-to-hand combat and grappling. Now, apart from Director Gao, the other six were frozen in place. This left the experienced Director Gao both shocked and furious. Zhou Xuan was probably a martial arts master. There were many extraordinary people in the countryside; he was likely skilled in acupressure or invisible hidden weapons!
"What...what did you do to them?" Director Gao asked, both shocked and furious. He then suddenly drew his pistol from his waist, released the safety with a "click," and pointed the gun at Zhou Xuan, chanting, "Squat down, hands behind your head!"
Zhou Xuan ignored him completely, showing no fear, and mockingly asked Director Gao, "Do you dare to fire?"
Director Gao's face flushed red, but the gun was still firmly pointed at Zhou Xuan. He shouted, "If you move again, I'll shoot!"
Zhou Xuan chuckled. The bullets in his pistol had long been converted and absorbed by the gunpowder, so of course Director Gao wouldn't notice unless he actually fired the gun.
When Director Gao saw his six subordinates like puppets, with only their eyes rolling around but their bodies unable to move, he was both shocked and furious. His hand holding the gun trembled uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but want to pull the trigger!
At that moment, the interrogation room door was pushed open again, and a middle-aged man of medium build and slightly overweight face walked in. Director Gao immediately said respectfully, "Director Zhang..."
So this is Director Zhang. Zhou Xuan sized up the man. He had a lot of authority. If he could work well with the people behind him, Fu Yuanshan's position might be his soon.
He would never do anything without a profit. Zhou Xuan suddenly felt disgusted and hated this kind of deceitful life and the struggles in officialdom. Wouldn't it be better to use this energy to do more practical things for the people and solve more cases?
Director Zhang simply nodded slightly to Section Chief Gao, then waved his hand and said to Section Chief Gao, "Get them out of here. Have someone remove them from the area. I'm here to talk to Mr. Zhou!"
Of course, Director Gao wouldn't go against Director Zhang's wishes, so he quickly went out and called over a few subordinates to carry out the six unmoving men.
After everyone had left, Director Zhang shrugged at Zhou Xuan and smiled, "Little Zhou, Mr. Zhou, hehe, sit down and talk. I think you don't really need to treat me as an opponent or an adversary!"
You can't hit someone who's smiling, so Zhou Xuan sat down and said with a smile, "Director Zhang, I certainly don't consider you an opponent; it's probably you who do!"
When Zhou Xuan spoke, he emphasized the word "you" very much, which surprised Director Zhang. Did Zhou Xuan know something? No way, if it were true, it could only be that Captain Lin, who was in charge of monitoring, revealed it.
Because Captain Lin was his confidant, experienced in his work, and absolutely loyal to him, Director Zhang assigned him to monitor Zhou Xuan. If it were any other case, given Captain Lin's status, how could he possibly be assigned to such a trivial task? It would be a clear waste of his talent!
Zhou Xuan realized that Director Zhang had come to get information out of him, but was stunned by a single sentence from him. He thought it best to give him another scare!
"Director Zhang, please give my regards to Secretary Huang!" Tong Xuan said again, feigning nonchalance. Speed is key, and safety is paramount! doxi
B
Volume 1, Chapter 631: Your Arrogance Is the Reason You Forced It
Director Zhang was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed. His eyes, like lightning, swept across Zhou Xuan's face, as if trying to figure out what Zhou Xuan really meant.
Zhou Xuan remained unmoved, fully aware of the situation.
"What do you know?" Director Zhang was silent for a while, then finally couldn't help but ask. He couldn't hold back his temper when Zhou Xuan tested him.
Of course, this doesn't mean he wasn't cunning enough or as composed as Zhou Xuan. In this kind of situation, no one would likely have an easy time getting the better of Zhou Xuan. After all, Zhou Xuan's special ability allows him to foresee the future. It's like a battle between two armies. If one side knows all your plans and secrets, while you know nothing about the other side, no matter how powerful you are, the scales of victory have already tipped in their favor.
At this moment, Director Zhang was just like that. "As a person of his rank, he was a shrewd and calculating individual. If it weren't for Zhou Xuan's special abilities and the fact that he had experienced so many things through those abilities, even ten of them wouldn't be a match for Director Zhang alone!"
So Director Zhang was secretly shocked, but on the surface he was forcibly suppressing his surprise.
Zhou Xuan smiled and said calmly, "I actually don't know anything, Director Zhang. There are some things I don't need to say outright. You arrested me without any evidence, which is an abuse of power. You also followed me and installed cameras and listening devices in my home. Isn't that illegal? As a law enforcement agency, that's knowingly breaking the law!"
Director Zhang calmed down. Zhou Xuan's words deeply stung him. It seemed that Zhou Xuan was not simple. At least now he had figured out all of their actions and background relationships. "Is this information obtained after a long investigation?"
This greatly surprised Director Zhang, who hesitated for a moment before asking, "Where...where did you take those four people?"
Zhou Xuan said calmly, "Director Zhang, you don't need to ask. I can only tell you this: First, I don't know where they were taken. Second, the person who took them is of a much higher status than you. Don't expect to have any communication with him. Third, your people are definitely not in danger, but they will certainly suffer. However, I think that once they get what they want, your people will naturally be released!"
Director Zhang hesitated for a moment, then said with a stern face, "Do you know that what they're doing is illegal? Even if they have high status, they're still responsible!"
"Illegal? Responsible? Hehehe..." Zhou Xuan chuckled coldly, "Then, Director Zhang, let me ask you, if you arranged for someone to wiretap and film their private lives, wouldn't you be breaking the law? Wouldn't you be responsible? I believe that as long as your subordinates admit the truth, Director Zhang, you'll probably have to take the blame. You know about Fu Yuanshan's example, don't you?"
Director Zhang was stunned again. Although Zhou Xuan's words were arrogant, Director Zhang couldn't help but feel afraid. To be honest, although he had a deep relationship with the person behind him, it was a relationship of interests. If something went wrong, someone would have to take the blame. He really believed that, as Zhou Xuan said, there was a 99% chance that he would be thrown out. If nothing went wrong, he would get his wish, but if something went wrong, he would be the one to take the blame.
After hesitating for a moment, Director Zhang thought again, "Zhou Xuan is so bold and fearless. The person behind him must be someone with considerable influence. From those who have had close ties with him, Director Zhang has basically figured it out. If we exclude the Wei family, then it's the Li family. Moreover, the Li family is related to Zhou Xuan by marriage, and they are also influential figures in the military. Director Zhang absolutely cannot afford to offend them. Perhaps he can deal with the person behind them, but if something really happens, he is certain that the person behind them will throw him out to take the blame!"
If it were just a matter of following someone, it wouldn't really matter, and the other party wouldn't be able to do anything about it if they didn't admit it. But the key point is that "I have indeed sent people to follow them, and I have trusted my subordinates too much, actually agreeing to let them install spying and eavesdropping devices in Zhou Xuan's villa." This is a big taboo.
Of course, if the other party is a criminal, a suspect, or an ordinary person, then it's fine. But if the other party is not ordinary, has never committed a crime, and has a powerful background, then it's troublesome!
Director Zhang's headache was that his subordinates had repeatedly assured him that they would never be discovered, and Director Zhang himself believed it. He had only deployed his most elite troops, which was why he was so confident. But now things had gone wrong. Not only had the things he had placed been discovered, but even the men he sent to monitor the situation had been arrested. This wasn't something he could simply deny by accusing the other side of assaulting a police officer. If the other side had enough backing, they could cause a scene, and Director Zhang would be in deep trouble. In the end, he would be the one who suffered, not the person behind him!
Zhou Xuan shrugged, then said calmly, "Director Zhang, do you want to detain me, or let me go?"
Director Zhang pondered for a moment. His subordinates were nervous and he himself was also confused. He did not expect this to be a hot potato. What made him feel most uneasy was that Zhou Xuan seemed to have the upper hand and knew his secrets. This put him in a very passive position. Moreover, he had indeed underestimated Zhou Xuan.
From the moment he was captured until now, Zhou Xuan seems to possess a kind of magic. No one knows why or what methods he used, but a large number of his men have been overthrown, all of them acting like they've had a stroke. If anyone wants to pin the blame on him, there's no evidence yet, because after carefully reviewing the surveillance footage, Zhou Xuan really didn't lay a hand on anyone, and there were no abnormal actions. There's no way to find a basis for accusation against him.
After a moment's hesitation, Director Zhang said, "Xiao Zhou, how about we... try to resolve this amicably? Consider this a misunderstanding, and let's all forgive and forget. You get my people back, and I'll let you go. How about that?"
Zhou Xuan smiled faintly, a chilling smile playing on his lips. "Director Zhang, what kind of 'amiable' is this? It's purely you taking advantage." Heh heh, if I don't cure your people, can you blame it on me? If I don't return your subordinates, will you even be able to find me? Besides, you have no evidence." "Then I'm just fulfilling my duty as a citizen by cooperating with you to give a statement. I want to leave; do you dare refuse to let me go?"
