93: Chapter 089: Giving You Another Chance 93: Chapter 089: Giving You Another Chance In the police station, Ye Fan was locked in a small dark room, where he had been sitting continuously for over three hours. “Sigh, a woman’s mind is indeed narrow. Is it necessary to hold a private grudge just because I refused a meal with her? I’m clearly the victim, yet I’m ignored and locked up in this dark room,” Ye Fan lamented. Another half-hour passed, and the door to the dark room was finally opened. A police officer brought him into a spartan interrogation room and seated him. “Stay put, don’t fidget!” the officer warned Ye Fan and then turned to leave the interrogation room. A few minutes later, the door to the interrogation room was pushed open, and Ye Fan looked up to see Zhao Lina walking in with an icy face. With a “bang,” Zhao Lina closed the door behind her. “Hehe, Officer Zhao, the beautiful, I didn’t expect to see you again,” Ye Fan said with a smile playing on his lips, in a flippant tone, “We must really be fated.” “Hmph!” Zhao Lina let out a heavy snort, slamming the hardcopy of the statement onto the interrogation table, then walked to the front of the table, coldly glaring down at Ye Fan, who was seated. Ye Fan shrank back in his seat and exclaimed, “What’s with that man-eating look? Let me make this clear, if you dare to use violent interrogation, I will definitely file a complaint against you!” Zhao Lina heavily sat down in the chair across from him and said, “Ye Fan, you’re suspected of fighting and seriously injuring ten people, and what’s more, you’ve left three of them disabled. Be prepared to cleanly serve at least a decade or more in prison!” “Hey hey, get your facts straight. I’m the victim here!” Ye Fan exclaimed, “Ever heard of sitting impartially?” Zhao Lina let out a mocking “hmph” and said, “Everyone saw that those ten people were seriously injured, lying on the ground, with three of them having broken legs, and yet you came out without a scratch. It’s obvious who is the victim and who is the perpetrator.” “You, can’t you speak logically?” Ye Fan said, beginning to get annoyed. “I only speak the law. You’ve assaulted people, and the serious injuries and disabilities are facts,” Zhao Lina said coldly, “Wait for your judgment. The law states that for someone with a case as severe and negatively influential as yours, you’ll be sentenced to at least ten years.” “Isn’t that a bit harsh?” Ye Fan frowned. Zhao Lina replied coldly, “Are you slandering and insulting a law enforcement officer? I can charge you with an additional crime!” Ye Fan scrutinized Zhao Lina’s beautiful but stern face, noticing the cold gleam in her eyes and suddenly realizing that this woman was probably serious. He sat up straight and declared, “I want to see my lawyer. I will not answer any questions until I’ve seen my lawyer.” Then, the interrogation room fell silent. Zhao Lina stared at Ye Fan’s stern face tinged with anger for a while before she finally couldn’t help but let the corner of her mouth curl up. Ye Fan immediately caught the change in Zhao Lina’s expression and called out somewhat angrily, “You’re playing me!” “What if I am?” Zhao Lina replied smugly, her beautiful face aloof, “Scared now, are you?” “Haha, what do I have to be afraid of? I’m not afraid even if the sky falls!” Ye Fan said nonchalantly. Zhao Lina let out two mocking chuckles and retorted, “Cut the bull! It was you who just asked for a lawyer. Don’t you dare show that attitude to me. Let me tell you, whether you face prison or not, it’s all up to me.” “So, you’re saying I should thank you for your great graciousness?” Ye Fan replied sarcastically. “That’s right!” Zhao Lina claimed arrogantly, “Now, why don’t you get on your knees and thank me immediately?” “Tsk,” Ye Fan said, “I’ve saved your life before. Why don’t you kneel and thank me first, repay me with your body for saving your life?” Saying this, he stood up, stretched lazily, and his whole body made a series of cracking sounds. “I should be fine now, right? Can I go home?” he asked. Zhao Lina stood up and warned, “Just a heads up, the people you fought with are not ordinary thugs. They’re members of the Qinglang Gang, a very cruel and cunning bunch of scum. You hurt their members so badly this time; they will definitely seek revenge. You’d better be careful.” “Oh,” Ye Fan replied nonchalantly, unconcerned. Walking out of the interrogation room and retrieving his phone, he saw the time was already past midnight, nearing 1 AM. At the same time, he saw that there were numerous missed calls and text messages, almost all from Lu Xiaoman. Ye Fan’s heart warmed up, and just as he was about to return Lu Xiaoman’s call to reassure her, a call came in. It was Lu Xiaoman. Ye Fan immediately answered the phone with a smile. “Ye Fan, Ye Fan,” Lu Xiaoman called out happily, “Is that you?” “Hehe, it’s me, Sister Xiaoman,” Ye Fan said with a smile, “You’re still up this late?” “Are you out yet? Did the police station say they had to…” Lu Xiaoman asked with concern. She and Xie Junru and the others had been able to leave early, but Ye Fan had not been able to come out for a long time, which made her very worried. After all, it was Ye Fan who had fought and injured those hoodlums from the gang, and there might be trouble. “Hehe, don’t worry, there’s not a problem at all,” Ye Fan said with a gentle smile, “The police are still reasonable after all.” “That’s good, that’s good,” Lu Xiaoman sighed with relief. “Alright, you should hurry up and go to sleep. I’m also going home,” Ye Fan said. “Mm, alright, be careful on the way,” Lu Xiaoman said, pausing slightly, she then said in a very gentle voice, “Goodbye.” “Goodbye.” After ending the call, Ye Fan smiled as he put his phone in his pocket, then walked out of the police station to wait for a taxi outside. His car had been left in the Earl KTV parking lot, so he could only retrieve it the next day. Before long, a black Volkswagen sedan stopped in front of him. Ye Fan couldn’t help but look down to see the car window of the driver’s seat slowly slide down, revealing a lively and spirited pretty face—it was Zhao Lina. “It’s hard to get a taxi this late, get in,” Zhao Lina said, sticking her head out halfway towards Ye Fan. At this time, Zhao Lina had changed into the clothes of an ordinary person, and the murderous aura on her had faded a lot. Ye Fan nodded slightly and walked over without ceremony, taking a seat in the passenger side. While starting the car, Zhao Lina asked, “Where do you live?” “Yulin Bay Residential Area,” Ye Fan replied. Zhao Lina made a U-turn and then drove on the road, saying, “Whoa, Yulin Bay Residential Area, that’s a famous rich people’s place in Hua Hai. Seeing you dressed in cheap market goods, do you feel great pretending to be something you’re not?” Ye Fan was a bit surprised and felt somewhat embarrassed; he did not expect Zhao Lina, who gave an impression of being icy and serious, to say such down-to-earth words. “If that’s what you want to think, it’s fine,” Ye Fan said with a mild smile, not defending himself. Sixteen to seventeen minutes later, the car stopped outside the gate of Yulin Bay Residential Area. When Ye Fan was about to unbuckle his seat belt to get out, Zhao Lina called out, “Wait.” “What is it?” Ye Fan turned his head to ask. Zhao Lina said, “I’ll give you another chance, how about dinner together tomorrow night?” After all, she owed him a lifesaving debt. Although she was annoyed that Ye Fan had not given her face, she still had to show her gratitude. “How about giving one more chance?” Ye Fan said, “I am not free tomorrow night.” He had made plans to visit Old Master Li tomorrow afternoon, which Li Zhaojun had already arranged with him. “Hmph, then when are you free?” Zhao Lina said with a cold huff, her pretty face turning frosty. Many men did not have the chance to invite her to dinner, and yet the man in front of her kept making excuses to not accept her invitation to dine with her. That evening, when she saw Ye Fan having fun at KTV and fighting with others, yet he had rudely declined her invitation that afternoon, she almost couldn’t help but pull out the gun from her waist and finish off Ye Fan. “How about Sunday?” Ye Fan offered. Zhao Lina said coldly, “Get out of the car!” Ye Fan laughed heartily and pushed the car door open to get out.
