Chapter 44 The Righteous Good Cop
From the moment Lin Hai made his move, he had accurately propelled a metal fragment, cutting the exposed wiring at the corner of the interrogation room.
Therefore, now whatever he did in the interrogation room wouldn't be recorded by surveillance cameras.
It could be said he could play however he wanted, as long as no one discovered it, he could stay inside and do as he pleased.
Li Erbao saw Lin Hai like a demon descending upon the world, an imposing figure, and then glanced at the thumb-thick steel bars twisted into corkscrews not far away, almost dropping his jaw in shock, he swallowed hard and stuttered pointing at Lin Hai: "You, how did you do that, what in the world are you planning to do?"
Although his words were questioning, his tone was filled with cowardice and fear, devoid of any assertiveness.
Xiao Jiba also stood stunned in place, he knew Lin Hai's body was robust, and he must be good at fighting, otherwise how could he be a security guard.
But he had not anticipated Lin Hai to be this terrifying.
Looking at those corkscrewed steel bars, even with tools, he wouldn't be able to break them anytime soon.
The image of Lin Hai easily twisting the steel bars with his hands still vividly lingered.
This strength, if applied to a human body...
Xiao Jiba's forehead dripped with cold sweat, and he dared not continue the thought.
"Don't mess around, my dad is the chief of the police, my family has a lot of money, if you dare to cause any trouble, it won't end well for you..." Xiao Jiba kept retreating, looking at the advancing Lin Hai with eyes full of terror.
Li Erbao was also frightened into curling up in the corner, even forgetting he was carrying a gun.
Lin Hai looked disdainfully at the trembling Xiao Jiba and said with a slight squint, "Ah, I'm really scared."
"But, you know, I'm someone who always seeks revenge."
Lin Hai smiled, revealing his pearly white teeth, seemingly harmless.
However, in Xiao Jiba's eyes, this was more terrifying than anything else.
"Do you like Su Wanjing?" Lin Hai asked.
Xiao Jiba nodded, then immediately froze, realizing he couldn't admit it at this moment and hurriedly corrected himself: "No, I don't like Su Wanjing at all, I was just joking around."
"Then do you like Ouyang Xiaoya?" Lin Hai asked again with a smile. Please read this chapter on its original platform—M|V|L1EMPYR.
"No, I don't like Ouyang Xiaoya at all, really, I swear, please don't do anything rash." Xiao Jiba quickly waved his hands in a flustered explanation.
"Do you like both Su Wanjing and Ouyang Xiaoya?" Xiao Jiba, in a panic, suddenly felt he grasped something and blurted out.
Lin Hai didn't deny it, and said indifferently, "Stay away from me and them from now on, I'll spare your life today."
He wouldn't be foolish enough to kill someone here. If he did, he might be besieged by the powerful police force and armed police troops before he could even escape Huadu. Although with his abilities, he might not necessarily be caught, but he should cherish the chance for a peaceful life that came not easy, the more he had lost in the past, the more he cherished his current life.
Hearing that his life was spared, Xiao Jiba's pale face regained a bit of color, he exhaled deeply, and once again said, "Lin Hai, we were wrong just now, I apologize to you, let's consider this matter settled, okay?"
In his view, Lin Hai was just a security guard without experience, he had already lowered his stance, just saying a few submissive words should dissolve the crisis at hand, as the saying goes, as long as the green hills last, there will always be wood to burn, and once safe, he would find an opportunity to take revenge on this guy.
Li Erbao, who had been around in officialdom for many years, immediately understood Xiao Jiba's intentions and also concurred: "Yes, Brother Lin Hai, I apologize, let's forget about this whole affair, what do you say?"
"Let it go?" Lin Hai sneered, if it were a common citizen, they would indeed be intimidated by their status and try to minimize the issue.
But he was definitely not afraid, his dictionary did not contain the words 'fear' or 'retreat'.
"If I had not resisted just now, perhaps now I'd have been deprived of my lineage, right?" Lin Hai snorted coldly.
Li Erbao immediately gave a forced smile: "Brother Lin, just now everyone wanted to play a joke on you; how could we possibly really hurt you? It's rather you, with such a big temper and such impatience, look, luckily no life was lost, or else Young Master Xiao and I would have to figure out a way to cover for you."
This kind of talk might fool a three-year-old child at best.
Lin Hai sneered coldly and continued to advance on Xiao Jiba.
"You, you stay back, I'm warning you," Xiao Jiba's face paled again instantly as he retreated in horror, only to find out that he had backed into a wall with nowhere left to retreat.
Immediately, Xiao Jiba almost cried out in fear.
Lin Hai grabbed Xiao Jiba's neck with one hand.
Suddenly, Xiao Jiba was lifted off his feet, his eyes bulging, and a feeling of suffocation quickly turned his face red.
Xiao Jiba, whose heart was already filled with extreme fear, flailed his hands through the air, trying to break free.
"Xiao Jiba, I won't kill you today, but though your death penalty is exempted, your life penalty won't be spared."
The moment the words fell, Lin Hai's hand directly grabbed Xiao Jiba's arm and his fingers exerted a forceful squeeze.
Crack; the sound of bone fracturing echoed clearly throughout the entire interrogation room.
After several times, Xiao Jiba gradually lost consciousness amidst his screaming; his shirt was soaked through with cold sweat, and his entire right arm was completely crippled, meaning that from now on he could say goodbye to any sort of manual fun.
Lin Hai tossed the now unconscious Xiao Jiba onto the ground like a dead dog and turned his gaze to Li Erbao, who was cowering in the corner, his face full of terror.
"You… what do you want to do? I'm telling you, I, I am the station chief; you dare to attack a police officer?" Li Erbao stuttered incongruently, truly shocked and terrified at his core.
Especially after witnessing Lin Hai crush Xiao Jiba's arm right before his eyes, he secretly cried out in his heart: "My god, just how strong is this guy?"
The method was too cruel; just thinking of the agonizing sensation of having all the bones in his arm crushed made all the hairs on Li Erbao's body stand on end.
"Attack a police officer? Heh." Lin Hai laughed, such words held no threat to him.
In the corner, Li Erbao kept shrinking back, with his legs kicking out frantically, as if this could give him a shred of negligible security.
In his panic, Li Erbao's hand suddenly felt something at his waist.
When he touched this object, Li Erbao froze for a moment, then a glint of hope flashed in his eyes.
With a swishing noise, Li Erbao pulled out the gun at his waist, mocking himself inwardly: "I was really shocked by Lin Hai just now, I had forgotten that I was carrying a gun."
After self-deprecation, with a gun in hand, Li Erbao regained some confidence, the dark muzzle aimed at Lin Hai, he sneered: "Lin Hai, you had your chances to reach Heaven but didn't take them, and now you've stormed into Hell with no way out. Today I will shoot down a dangerous criminal like you, and then I can earn a merit and be promoted, all thanks to you."
Lin Hai dismissed the threat with a curl of his lips. Though he was only a step away from Li Erbao, and at such close range, a handgun would certainly pose a lethal threat to a normal person.
But to him, a mere handgun was nothing; he had at least a hundred ways to dodge bullets and disarm his opponent.
"I hate that nonchalant look on your face, kid. It seems you still don't know what's good for you, well, I'll be the one to help you realize it," Li Erbao said and, gritting his teeth, he pulled the trigger.
...
Bang.
The gunshot rang out.
Yet Lin Hai stood still, unmoved in his original spot, with a look of utter shock on his face.
