Chapter 1533: I will make whoever dares to touch you pay for it.

Hearing the superintendent’s words, the other interrogator quickly stood up and said to Pei Ge, “Madam, please forgive us if we offended you in any way just then. We did it out of duty, so we ask for your understanding.”

“It’s no problem. Just investigate the truth properly.” She stood up. Her eyes twinkled when she spotted Ji Ziming standing at the door.

He stood at the door in a black suit and clean, white s.h.i.+rt. His handsome features became the brightest spot in this dim and oppressive room. With a smile, he stared back at her with his ink-black eyes.

“This way, please, madam.” The two interrogators spoke at the same time.

“Mhm.” She nodded and walked in the direction they pointed, which was toward her man.

“It’s already quite late. Time for us to go home.” He spoke in his cool tone. “Have you said everything clearly inside?”

“Mhm. The rest will be for the superintendent to handle.” She looked at Zhao Jingcheng, who was standing beside them.

Cold sweat dripped down the back of the police officer. He initially thought that the CEO’s wife would be the easiest to serve, but now he realized that, whether it was the man or the woman, both were no pushovers. It was not easy for him to be a superintendent. If not for this man coming along, he would have already let her return home a long time ago.

Who was Ji Ziming? Even if he lost his job, the man was still someone whom he should not offend.

“Madam is right. I will definitely find the truth of this matter, so please be at ease.” Zhao Jingcheng stood by the black sedan a little apologetically. “Shall we have a police car drive you back since it is this late now?”

“No need for that. My subordinate is already waiting outside. I shall bother the superintendent to be more prudent with my wife’s matter. In addition, tomorrow, I will send a piece of evidence—evidence of Huang Zhian embezzling company funds.”

With a smile, his gaze landed beyond the police station windows. A black Rolls-Royce was already waiting outside. As long as he and Pei Ge walked out of here, the arrival of Zhao Jingcheng’s redeployment order would follow.

“Yes, yes, yes. I’ll definitely properly question Huang Zhian. How dared he frame madam! I won’t let him easily get away from indictment. Of course, I still hope that sir and ma’am can provide us with more evidence so that we can lock that criminal up and close the case faster.” He lowered his head a bit as the gaze on them became even more cowardly.

Ji Ziming’s gaze deepened slightly. He then signaled his woman, and together, they left. The two police officers escorted them out until the couple was safely seated in the black Rolls-Royce.

“Superintendent, who is that ‘Ji Ziming’ fellow? Why is it that you are afraid of him?” A junior, who had just been a.s.signed here, witnessed how respectful he was to Ji Ziming, despite the man not deigning to look at him, and could not resist asking.

“Chap, are you courting death? Is that a name you can arbitrarily call?”

Zhao Jingcheng was startled by the voice from behind him and immediately turned around to hit the junior officer’s head with the cap in his hand. “You don’t even know who he is, so what is the point of you staying in the capital?”

The junior officer s.h.i.+elded his head and lowered it while speaking aggrievedly. “I only came to report here yesterday, so how will I know him?”

“Then, let me provide you with some general knowledge. That man is even more powerful than my top superior, so do you think I should be more respectful to him?”

“Is that true? Who is he? Is he also someone in our line?” The young officer seemed to have forgotten the pain from the hit on his head just then as his curiosity was piqued, instead.

“Stupid brat! You can go search him online to find out who he is. Let me tell you: That man is our sky. He is the capital’s leading figure. Do you think you should be giving him a few kowtows earlier?”

“I don’t wanna. He is not my father, so I don’t want to kowtow to him, but as for you boss, you are my idol; I have always—”

“Let go right now!” Zhao Jingcheng watched as the junior hugged his arm like a koala. The other policemen at the side were all watching him. Those who did not know would think he was a h.o.m.os.e.xual.

“I won’t. I just feel that the things you do are all very correct and praiseworthy.”

The young officer refused to budge. It appeared that the guy would refuse to let go as long as he did not accept him as a disciple. Even though they were before many people, he was still able to hug Zhao Jingcheng’s arm and shake it without feeling embarra.s.sed.

“You! Let go right now!” The latter’s face turned red with anger. He could already hear the whispering of the people around them. It was strange enough for him not to be married at this age, and now there was a newbie clinging to him at work. It would be strange if he was not put in a spot.

“Zhao Jingcheng!” A police car stopped at the entrance, and a man in white uniform alighted from it with a stern face. Compared to Ji Ziming’s stern, deadpan face, this guy’s sternness was quite bloodthirsty. His murderous intent was so strong that one needed courage to approach him.

“I am.” He finally managed to shake off the young officer and stepped forward.

“Good. I am here to give you your redeployment order.”

Zhao Jingcheng was stunned. He had not expected that he would be ‘sent to the fringe’ after merely ‘inviting’ Ji Ziming’s wife over.

In the car driving back to the Ji family’s villa, Pei Ge eyed the man and asked, “Do you have anything to say to me?”

With his head tilted back and eyes closed to rest, the man still heard her clear voice. “What is there to say?”

“Don’t tell me that you did nothing to Zhao Jingcheng?”

She did not believe it. She clearly remembered the apathy on his face when they got in that guy’s police vehicle before Red Star. He was almost cold enough to freeze time. It was bone-chilling, and she could feel his displeasure oozing out.

When he was displeased, no one around him could ever think of being happy, including her.

The man opened his dark eyes into slits as he regarded the woman sitting beside him with them. “Looks like you do know me very well. Yes, I did do something, but nothing serious will happen to him.”
