“Pa!”
Zhou Xuewu slammed the table and scolded in a cold voice, “What kind of status does Minister Hou have? How can someone like you meet him so easily? You better be honest and respectful now!” There was a hint of contempt in her eyes. What she despised the most in her life was this kind of man who rely on his wife, without any dignity of a man. Moreover, this was the headquarters of the inspectors, and there had never been a criminal who dared to be so arrogant in front of her. “Little girl, it’s not good to be so angry.” Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and smiled. “I don’t think your complexion is too good. Has your period been a bit off recently?” Zhou Xuewu’s beautiful face immediately flushed red. She thought that Chen Fan was deliberately teasing her, and immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation. She was teased by a criminal, and it was such a shameful thing. If this was spread out, how could she, Zhou Xuewu, continue to live in the inspector’s circle in the future?
Immediately, she jumped up from her seat and rushed forward to teach Chen Fan a lesson. The team member next to her pulled her back in time and persuaded her, “Captain, don’t be impulsive. The camera is still recording. If the minister finds out, you will be suspended again.”
“This case is of great importance. Let’s leave it to Martial Battalion. If you are really unwilling, you can apply to the higher-ups and set up a joint investigation team with Martial Battalion. When you get there, there are so many torture instruments in the interrogation room. You can wait until then!” Martial Battalion was not like the Inspector Department. The criminals there were all
extremely evil people. Even if they had a body of steel and iron bones, they would have to shed a layer of skin. Zhou Xuewu’s eyes lit up, and she immediately had a plan in her heart. “Listen, if you dare to tell others what happened just now, I will not forgive you easily.” Zhou Xuewu glared and waved her fist, threatening the group member beside her. 1/4NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Chapter 50 Not Enough The group member trembled and smiled bitterly. “Team, team leader, don’t worry. Even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare to tell anyone!” Not long after Zhou Xuewu left the interrogation room, several armored vehicles of Martial Battalion arrived outside the headquarters building. The door opened and Hou Haoran came out of the car. Behind him, many martial guards in battle robes came down one after another. They were all Martial Battalion’s elite and strong generals. The people who died this time were not ordinary people. They were the disciples of Elder Zhou. Hou Haoran did not dare to be negligent and decided to personally bring people to escort the prisoners. Elder Zhou was Martial Battalion’s meritorious elder. Moreover, the Zhou family was deeply rooted in Yunhai. Elder Zhou’s eldest son was also the commander of the Yunhai’s Governor-General Manor. When the elder spoke, even he, the minister, had to obey respectfully. “Uncle Hou, I have finally come to see you.” Zhou Xuewu, who was waiting in front of the door, immediately came forward and said excitedly, “Our minister has already passed my application. I hope to be with you to interrogate the criminal together.” Zhou Xuewu was full of expectation and couldn’t wait to put torture instruments on that arrogant guy. She would make him pay! Zhou Xuewu curled her lips and snorted coldly in her heart. “Xuewu, it’s not that uncle wants to scold you. You are a girl, why must you involve yourself in this kind of case?” Hou Haoran did not know whether to laugh or cry. There had never been a precedent for a joint investigation. If not for the face of Elder Zhou, he would not have agreed to such an absurd thing. The torture instruments in Martial Battalion’s torture chamber were not just for show. Even the strongest martial artist would have to obediently confess to him. There was no need for the inspection department to cooperate with the investigation.
“That guy is too hateful. He dares to… dare to hit me. I must let him know how powerful I am!” Zhou Xuewu snorted coldly. After she finished speaking, she stuck out her tongue. She almost gave herself

away. Fortunately, she reacted in time. Otherwise, she would be embarrassed in front of so many people. Hou Haoran’s expression turned cold as he said, “Then I want to see who exactly is it that dares to look down on the dignified Zhou family’s eldest young miss.” “He is currently in the interrogation room. Just now, he even arrogantly said that my level is not high enough to talk to him. He said that Uncle Hou should go see him personally.” Zhou Xuewu curled her lips and snorted coldly. “Have you found out his identity?” The two of them said as they walked towards the interrogation room. “It has already been investigated. He is a son-in-law who has been living off a woman. His name is Chen Fan. A year ago, he was in prison because of a traffic accident.” As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived at the door of the interrogation room. Hou Haoran’s footsteps suddenly stopped. His mind trembled, and his expression changed drastically. “W-what did you say he was called?” Because of extreme shock, Hou Haoran couldn’t even speak properly, and he even sounded a little shaky. Zhou Xuewu frowned, and a trace of puzzlement appeared on her pretty face. “He is called Chen Fan, the son-in-law of the Su family. Uncle Hou, what’s wrong? Uncle Hou had watched her grow up since she was a child. She had known him for so many years, but she had never seen him like this. He was in a panic. “Oh, I, you, you have caused a big trouble!” Hou Haoran panicked and quickly pushed the door open and walked in. Zhou Xuewu was stunned on the spot. Before she could come back to her senses, she saw Hou Haoran bending over to Chen Fan and bowing respectfully to him. “Mr. Chen, I am late. Please forgive me!” Hou Haoran had been thinking about who dared to talk so much in the headquarters of the inspectors just now. Now he knew that with Zhou Xuewu’s level, she was indeed not qualified to talk to the commander of the Anxu Army. “Zhou Xuewu is not sensible. I hope you don’t lower yourself to her level.” “Minister Hou, you came in time.” Chen Fan said lightly, “If I’m not wrong, you drove an armored car here, right? Why, do you want to escort me back to Martial Battalion and interrogate me through torture?”
Hou Haoran wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said with trepidation, “I dare
not.”
At this time, Zhou Xuewu came back to her senses and walked into the interrogation room. Her face was full of surprise and bewilderment. “Uncle Hou, have you got the wrong person? He is just a son-in-law, what is there to be proud of?” “Zhou Xuewu, you, you shut up. Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Chen.” Hou Haoran scolded with a gloomy face. Not to mention him, the minister of Martial Battalion, even if Old Master Zhou came, he had to salute General Chen. “Uncle Hou, what’s wrong with you?” Zhou Xuewu looked arrogant. She pouted and said, “You want me to apologize to him? Impossible. It’s impossible in this life.” Putting aside her identity as the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, she was also the captain of the Inspector Department’s Key Case Investigation Unit. If she were to apologize to a criminal, how could she raise her head in front of her colleagues in the future? Hou Haoran was so angry that his whole body trembled. If it was his own daughter, she would have already slapped him. However, Zhou Xuewu was the daughter of the top leader of Yunhai after all. No matter what, he had to save some face for the Zhou family. “I will now solemnly inform you that I will take over this case. The decision of the joint investigation team is officially canceled!” Hou Haoran said solemnly.
