Jiang Tian sipped his tea and frowned in disgust. “Where’s the arrest warrant? Let me see it…”
“This…”
Lin Menghan was slightly stunned, a bit embarrassed and annoyed.
These hooligans nowadays really knew their law quite well.
Actually, she had been watching Jiang Tian for a long time.
Dozens of people from the Nie family and two other major families had died overnight.
Lei Ming and Lei Gang, father and son, had also died under unclear circumstances…
She suspected all of this was related to Jiang Tian, but what infuriated her was that her superiors didn’t support her opening a case for investigation at all. They wouldn’t even let her access the files. Her investigation was like walking on thin ice, riddled with difficulties.
It seemed the police world had rotted to its very roots.
She understood that Jiang Tian’s strength was indeed extraordinary. The Jiang family’s assets were worth tens of billions, and they had quietly become the number one family in Jinling.
As the heir of the Medicine King Group, Jiang Tian was also the founder of the Qingtian Laboratory and a guest professor. His status was noble, and his background was formidable.
But the more this was the case, the more the police beauty, overflowing with a sense of justice, hated Jiang Tian to the bone.
She was determined to catch Jiang Tian’s weak spot, then follow the trail and take down the corrupt elements in the police world along with him.
Especially the night before last, when over a hundred foreign nationals died overnight in Jinling—suspected to be assassin mercenaries targeting the Jiang family.
Combined with the fact that Jiang Tian had once been attacked at a gas station, she was even more convinced that all of this was Jiang Tian’s doing.
“Then consider this me asking you to assist in the investigation!”
Lin Menghan’s eyes flickered as she asked coldly, “May I ask, over a hundred people died last night. Did you do it?”
“Yes. What are you going to do about it?” Jiang Tian raised an eyebrow and glanced at her indifferently, speaking with disdain.
“What? You actually admitted it!”
Lin Menghan couldn’t believe it. This kid really didn’t take her seriously at all.
Then, with a face like still water, she scolded, “Then you are a suspect. I’m going to arrest you! Please cooperate!”
“The night before last, more than a dozen assassins armed with guns broke into my Jiang family home and the Medicine King Group.”
Jiang Tian’s expression was indifferent as he asked, “I’d like to ask, when my Jiang family was under attack and in danger, where were you, Officer Lin?”
“This…”
Lin Menghan was very embarrassed, then angrily said, “I’m here to arrest you now, not for you to question me!”
She directly drew her pistol and pointed it at Jiang Tian, shouting angrily, “Squat on the ground, hands on your head! Don’t resist, or I’ll shoot you dead right now!”
“You think you’re the only one who knows I killed those people? What about your superiors? Why aren’t they coming to arrest me?”
Jiang Tian’s expression didn’t change at all as he sneered.
“Why?” Lin Menghan also felt it was strange, so she subconsciously asked.
In fact, even her father had reminded her not to get involved in any case concerning Jiang Tian, but she refused to accept it, believing her father had been frightened by evil forces like Jiang Tian.
“You can’t resist foreign humiliation, you only know how to bully your own people and throw your weight around at home. Figure it out yourself!” Jiang Tian couldn’t be bothered with her and sneered.
“What did you say?”
In Jinling and even in the entire Jiangsu Province police world, Lin Menghan was beautiful, had a sexy, fiery figure, and could be called the number one police beauty. Moreover, she was highly skilled and capable. Her father was also the deputy director of the provincial department. Countless young talents pursued and admired her.
This had cultivated her arrogant, look-down-on-everyone personality. When had she ever suffered such cold treatment?
This remark nearly made Lin Menghan explode with anger. She couldn’t help but recall how she had been beaten to a pulp by Rattlesnake and the others at the gas station.
“Jiang Tian, if you don’t cooperate, I’ll kill you!”
Lin Menghan released the safety on her pistol, her face covered in frost, and said righteously:
“Don’t think you’re so great just because you’re the young heir of the Medicine King Group. Don’t think that just because you have a few officials protecting you, you can cover the sky with one hand. In my book, none of that works! I don’t know how many playboy rich kids and social parasites like you I’ve arrested! What are you so cocky about!”
Yes, she believed that with her father’s connections, she could absolutely bring down this disgusting guy Jiang Tian.
No matter how strong the Medicine King Group was, it was just an enterprise. Business doesn’t fight officials. The gap in power was too great.
“You… are all brawn and no brains!”
Jiang Tian stared at her chest for a long time, then suddenly said with a disdainful smile.
Lin Menghan could tell that Jiang Tian was not flirting.
There was not the slightest trace of desire in his gaze, not even a bit of appreciation. There was only endless contempt and a lofty indifference.
Yes, the figure and appearance she was so proud of were, in Jiang Tian’s eyes, just a joke and a flaw.
In his eyes, she wasn’t even as valuable as a dairy cow.
“Jiang Tian, you—!”
Realizing this, the police beauty nearly had the urge to go berserk. She wished she could riddle Jiang Tian with bullets on the spot.
“Don’t waste my tea time. Get lost!” Jiang Tian frowned in disgust, extremely displeased.
“Mr. Jiang!”
At that moment, three figures walked in together.
“Dad!”
Lin Menghan was startled. She saw Secretary Yu and her father, the deputy director, accompanying a female general as they quickly walked in.
“You’re pointing a gun at Mr. Jiang. Why?” Shu Wei asked with a displeased frown.
“Wow, what a handsome female officer!”
Shu Wei was tall, beautiful, dashing and valiant, yet with a refined temperament. She had a noble air of someone from a wealthy, prominent family. And judging by her epaulettes, she was already a senior colonel.
All of this made the self-important Lin Menghan feel utterly inferior. Her eyes were mesmerized, and she was somewhat dazed.
“I’m asking you! Answer me!”
Shu Wei scolded sternly, frightening Lin Menghan so much that she trembled all over.
“Reporting to the officer, I came to arrest him. He is a criminal suspect. The night before last…”
Lin Menghan cowered like a quail and hurriedly reported.
Smack!
Without a word, Shu Wei raised her hand and slapped her, angrily saying, “What do you think you are, a black-skinned bitch, daring to arrest Mr. Jiang!”
“Black-skinned dog” was generally an insulting term soldiers used for police officers. Calling her a bitch was an extreme insult.
Lin Menghan was struck so hard that blood ran from her mouth. Her body staggered. She was shocked, angry, humiliated, and hateful.
But what filled her heart even more was confusion. Why did she hit me? What is Jiang Tian’s relationship with her?
Furious and flustered, she waved her arms and shouted angrily, “What right do you have to hit me? Just because he’s the young heir of the Medicine King Group, you dare hit me? Because you have connections, you can bully people with your power? Dad—”
She looked at Deputy Director Lin pleadingly, wanting her father to stand up for her and suppress Shu Wei and Jiang Tian.
Little did she know that Deputy Director Lin had already been frightened out of his wits by Secretary Yu’s angry glare.
In his heart, he wished he could kick this brainless, disappointing girl to death.
He was trembling with rage. What a daughter to ruin her father! He had warned you time and again, and you still…
“Shut up! Haven’t you caused enough trouble?”
At this moment, without another word, he slapped Lin Menghan across the face, making her delicate cheek swell up and several clear fingerprints appear.
This time, Lin Menghan was truly stunned.
Her father had always doted on her. When had he ever hit her so hard?
Tears of grievance swirled in her eyes. Then she heard Shu Wei say angrily, “You want to ask why I hit you? Then I’ll tell you—it’s not for personal reasons, nor because of Mr. Jiang’s status, but because everything Mr. Jiang has done was authorized by the military!”
“Authorized by the military? What…” Lin Menghan’s worldview shattered in an instant. She couldn’t believe it.
A leader of evil forces, a man who killed like cutting hemp, was actually authorized by the military?
“Mr. Jiang, this is the ‘National Hero’ medal awarded by the central leadership, to commend you for resisting foreign powerful beings and solving a big trouble for us!”
Shu Wei presented a golden, shining military medal and certificate, then snapped a standard military salute to Jiang Tian, her eyes full of reverence.
“National Hero Medal…”
For a moment, Lin Menghan was dumbfounded, her soul nearly frightened out of her.
The several police officers behind her were scared witless. For a moment, they all felt Lin Menghan was a jinx.
What a father-ruining disaster!
The National Hero Medal was not an ordinary military medal.
It was awarded to professional soldiers with major meritorious service. Moreover, generally the rank had to be above major general.
Could it be that he was a major general?
Lin Menghan only felt the world spinning. Her face was as pale as paper, cold sweat pouring out, and her legs had gone weak.
If she had fired that shot just now, she probably would have died beyond any doubt.
Oh heavens, I actually pointed a gun at a recipient of the National Hero Medal. I really was tired of living.
“Why haven’t you left yet?!”
Secretary Yu waved his hand impatiently.
This Lin Menghan was extremely brainless, disregarded discipline, and treated her superiors’ orders like a joke.
The higher-ups had issued repeated orders, yet she still came to cause trouble. She absolutely could not be used anymore. Fire her.
“Yes!”
When Lin Menghan came, she was aggressive and determined to succeed. When she left, she was utterly disgraced and miserable.
As she walked out of the Jiang family’s main gate, the dispirited her even tripped over the high threshold and fell, lying on the ground like a dead dog, her knee scraped and bleeding.
But none of the several male police officers who had previously doted on her went to help her up. They didn’t even glance at her. They simply hated her to death.
What a pig of a teammate, what a jinx. Causing such a scene, going to arrest a National Hero Medal recipient without an arrest warrant—everyone would be punished, wouldn’t they?
“Mr. Jiang, the bounty on the dark web has been withdrawn. At least for the short term, the Jiang family is safe!”
After they had gone far away, Shu Wei said with a smile.
Jiang Tian nodded slightly. He was not surprised by this.
This time, many assassin mercenaries had died, and the Big Circle had lost two of its seven giants. It was a heavy loss.
Moreover, Jiang Tian had already traced the secret financier behind the bounty to the Big Circle. The Big Circle had no strength left to counterattack in the short term.
“Mr. Jiang, actually, this time many departments expressed dissatisfaction with your bold actions, but Elder Cao still insisted that your operation was just and legal. Elder Cao put in no small effort!”
Shu Wei said meaningfully.
“I understand. Give my thanks to Elder Cao for me…” Jiang Tian said calmly.
At his level, he was already worth the nation relying on him. He had the capital to converse with Elder Cao.
Powerful beings from Southeast Asia occupied the northern slope of Mount Everest. Jinling was in chaos…
At two critical moments, Ye Zhantian had not made a move. Instead, Jiang Tian had risen from behind and turned the tide.
It could be said that without Jiang Tian, the military and the Chinese martial arts world would have been shamed. This made Jiang Tian’s importance even more evident.
