"You…"

Ling Zhenfei's question made Tan Shaojie's figure tremble, shocking him into speechlessness.

However, his willpower was indeed steeled. Despite growing fearful of Ling Zhenfei, he resolved not to easily speak up.

"Tan Shaojie, you must think that as long as you can hold your tongue, there's nothing I can do about it, right?"

Ling Zhenfei had already noticed Tan Shaojie's reaction, and without delay, he whispered a few words into his ear.

"Ah…"

Upon hearing Ling Zhenfei's words, Tan Shaojie's complexion turned to a frightened pallor, fearfully looking at Ling Zhenfei: "You… your cultivation, is it really…"

"Of course!"

Ling Zhenfei coldly smiled, and with a light clench of his fist, countless streams of mist flowed around, swirling outside of his fist like a physical entity, then rapidly spreading over his body.

Such powerful inner strength!

Catching a glimpse of this, Tan Shaojie couldn't believe his own eyes, feeling as if his heart was pounding like a drum, and under the circumstances, he had no choice but to lower his proud head…

Outside the interrogation room, Guo Qing'an, Professor Wang, and the others had been waiting for a full half-hour, yet there had been no sign of movement inside.

Professor Wang, already as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, couldn't help but urge Guo Qing'an: "Director Guo, I've said it before, this youngster is too young, he's simply no match for a tough cookie like Tan Shaojie, who has undergone special training!"

"Yes, Old Guo, time is of the essence, we can't keep dragging this out."

Liu Heping had always been skeptical of Ling Zhenfei, and upon hearing Professor Wang's words, he couldn't help but echo the sentiment.

"This…" Guo Qing'an, under immense pressure and growing anxious, began to waver in his confidence in Ling Zhenfei and turned to look at Han Lian: "Little Han, what do you think we should do?"

"This… why don't I go in and take a look."

Infected by their negative emotions, Han Lian lost her certainty and, out of desperation, prepared to push the door open and enter.

But before her hand could touch the door, it was opened from the inside and Ling Zhenfei, with a smile like a spring breeze, walked out.

"Ling Zhenfei…"

Seeing Ling Zhenfei appear, Han Lian and the other three were all simultaneously surprised.

After a long moment, Han Lian was the first to snap back to her senses, hurried forward to grab Ling Zhenfei's hand and asked anxiously, "How did it go?"

"Heh heh, Officer Han, you should also think about who I, Ling Zhenfei, am. Since I promised to take action, how could there be anything I can't achieve?"

Ling Zhenfei chuckled, and immediately took out the recorded confession.

After listening to Tan Shaojie's recorded confession, Guo Qing'an, Liu Heping, and Professor Wang were all taken aback in surprise. How could they expect that what the police force had failed to achieve with all their efforts, Ling Zhenfei managed to accomplish in just half an hour?

Especially Professor Wang, who had decades of interrogation experience. Just then, he had given up hope on the results of the interrogation.

Yet, the answer Ling Zhenfei presented was so surprisingly unexpected!

In Tan Shaojie's recorded confession, he had detailed recent activities of several Black Triangle drug trafficking gangs, and with this information in hand, even if the police couldn't completely destroy the drug syndicates, they could certainly deal them a heavy blow.

Guo Qing'an was elated and hurriedly ordered someone to send the recorded confession to the provincial department and the Ministry of Public Security.

Feeling the weight lifted off his shoulders, Guo Qing'an relaxed a bit. Caught up in his excitement, he eagerly grabbed Ling Zhenfei's hand and asked, "Zhenfei, can you tell me how exactly you managed to pry Tan Shaojie's mouth open?"

"Heh heh..."

Ling Zhenfei glanced over Guo Qing'an and the other two, then placed his forefinger to his lips in a silencing gesture, before mysteriously adding, "Shh, everyone, didn't I just say? The workings of heaven must not be revealed!"

With that, he didn't bother with them any longer and headed for the exit of the police station, laughing heartily as he went.

Watching Ling Zhenfei stride away, Guo Qing'an, Liu Heping and Professor Wang looked at each other, feeling ashamed for having underestimated the young man.

"Don't rush, leaders. I'll go ask him," Han Lian said, noticing the awkward looks on their faces. With a smile tugging at the corner of her lips that was hard to detect, she hurriedly followed Ling Zhenfei's trail.

"Hey, Ling Zhenfei, you stinker, stop right there, don't move!"

Ling Zhenfei was walking fast, and Han Lian had to follow him all the way to the gate of the police station before she could catch up with him.

"Hey, you jerk, I told you to stop. Did you hear me..."

Han Lian sprinted after him and when she finally overtook Ling Zhenfei, she suddenly turned around, spread her arms wide, and blocked his path.

"Hey! If you keep looking at me like that, you better believe I'll gouge out those eyeballs of yours!"

"Hey, Officer Han, there are many colleagues watching you. Yelling like this really isn't good for public morals!"

Despite her roaring like a lioness, Ling Zhenfei simply crossed his arms over his chest, completely unperturbed and with a smug look on his face, nudged his mouth to the side, signaling Han Lian to look around.

When Han Lian turned her head, she indeed saw her colleagues looking at her with puzzled expressions. Embarrassed, she didn't have the heart to yell at Ling Zhenfei anymore and could only walk ahead with her face flushed red.

"Hey, what are you still standing there for? Don't believe me when I say I can lock you up in solitary right now to enjoy a twenty-four-hour free stay?"

After walking a few steps ahead, Han Lian turned back and roared at him once more when she noticed that Ling Zhenfei wasn't following.

"Sigh, women are hard to deal with, and tomboys are even worse!"

Seeing Han Lian's teeth-gritting and foot-stomping behavior, Ling Zhenfei was completely speechless. He could only shake his head and follow her, resigning himself like a submissive subject.

"Hey, you really have a knack for this, don't you? You subdued Tan Shaojie in just half an hour. Even that stubborn old Professor Wang is looking at you with new respect!"

Han Lian seemed to have forgotten her embarrassment and blinked at Ling Zhenfei as she spoke.

"Tsk, what do you mean, 'looking at me with new respect?' Weren't they just saying I was no good? Did they think I couldn't hear them in the interrogation room? Heh!"

Ling Zhenfei's lips curled into a disdainful smirk. Although his cultivation hadn't reached the realm where he could hear through walls, the moment he saw Professor Wang and the others' expressions, he knew the obstinate old professor had definitely underestimated him, and had badmouthed him in front of Guo Qing'an.

"Zhenfei, they spoke that way because they don't understand you. But didn't you win back face with the facts? Giggle...

You should have seen them just now, their eyes were practically popping out, especially Professor Wang, it was just too funny!"

Han Lian giggled with delight, and although her gaze towards Ling Zhenfei was full of admiration, there was also an ineffable warmth in her eyes.
