229: Then don't blame me for being impolite.

Qin Yu was so angry his lungs felt like they were about to explode.

He couldn't help but shout, "This is a frame-up! You're twisting the truth! We're going to file a complaint against you!"

Tony also shrieked, "Exactly! You're in cahoots with those thugs! This is a crooked shop and crooked police!"

Bald Second Uncle's face darkened further as he roared toward the door, "What are you shouting for? Keep it up and I'll lock you up too!"

He turned back and glared viciously at Lei Jun.

"Did you hear that? Your accomplices are still being stubborn! Let me tell you, once you're in here, even if you're a dragon, you'd better coil up, and if you're a tiger, you'd better crouch! Sign the confession quickly and pay for the damages, then this can be settled. Otherwise..."

He drawled with a heavy tone of threat.

Baldy was feeling incredibly smug. He whispered to Shoulder Dragon, "See? This is our turf now. These little chicks and that sissy—weren't they acting all high and mighty just now?"

"Stunned now, aren't they? Hehe, once they confess and pay up, watch how I slowly deal with them! Especially that silver-haired one, I'm definitely going to..."

He was already fantasizing about some filthy scenes.

Inside the interrogation room, Lei Jun looked at Bald Second Uncle's face, and the last shred of respect she had for law enforcement vanished completely.

She understood perfectly now that trying to reason with or explain the law to someone like this was like playing the lute to a cow.

His head was filled only with power, connections, and money.

She slowly raised her handcuffed hands, even though the movement was a bit awkward in the interrogation chair.

She looked at Bald Second Uncle with undisguised mockery.

"Save it. We haven't committed any crime, and we certainly won't confess to fabricated charges. You want to beat a confession out of us? You want to frame us? I suggest you give up on that idea. Turn back now, deal with your law-breaking nephew and his gang, and maybe you can still keep your uniform. If you persist in your ways, I'm afraid it'll be too late for regrets."

"You!" Bald Second Uncle was fuming with rage.

In all his years as Deputy Director, who in this jurisdiction didn't treat him with the utmost politeness and bow and scrape before him?

The small vendors, the tourists from out of town—who among them dared to speak to him like this?

Today, he was being repeatedly scolded, mocked, and threatened by a mere slip of a girl—and a handcuffed suspect at that!

This was the greatest humiliation of his career—no, of his entire life!

Anger clouded his judgment.

The slight doubt he'd felt because of Lei Jun's extraordinary aura was incinerated by his overwhelming rage.

He had only one thought now.

He had to beat these arrogant fools into submission!

To let them know who was the boss here!!!

His face was so dark it could drip water. He stood up abruptly and signaled the clerk and the other three Police Officers.

He walked to the wall, reached out, and with a "snap," turned off the recording equipment on the interrogation table. Then he pointed at the inconspicuous surveillance camera in the corner.

The clerk hesitated for a moment before understanding. He stood up, walked over, and pretending to check the wiring, pulled the camera's connection cable.

The atmosphere suddenly became dangerous.

An expression of excitement and anticipation appeared on Baldy's face.

Second Uncle was getting serious!

He was going to use "methods"!

He could almost see Lei Jun and the others being taught a lesson until they wailed for their parents and begged for mercy on their knees.

Seeing the surveillance camera being unplugged and the sinister expressions on Bald Second Uncle and the Police Officers, Su Qing and Su Ya were scared out of their wits.

Su Ya burst out crying, and Su Qing's face turned pale as tears welled in her eyes.

They were just ordinary people; how could they have ever experienced something like this? This was clearly an interrogation under torture!

Seeing Su Qing and Su Ya crying in fear, Baldy became even more smug and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Bald Second Uncle frowned and glared at Baldy, telling him to be quiet.

He still cared somewhat about appearances and felt his nephew's wild laughter looked bad.

Baldy curled his lip and stopped laughing, but his face was still full of schadenfreude.

He felt a bit of disdain for his Second Uncle.

Things had already reached this point, the cameras were cut, and it was obvious they were going to do dirty work—so why still act all proper?

What a hypocrite.

Bald Second Uncle turned back to look at the still-calm Lei Jun, and behind her, the equally expressionless Lei Ying, Lei Yue, and Zhao Ya. The wicked fire in his heart burned even brighter.

He gave a sinister laugh. "You're refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit. Since you don't want the face I'm giving you, don't blame me for being unkind."

He waved his hand at the two Police Officers and the clerk. "Wake them up and let them learn what rules are!"

The three Police Officers glanced at each other, hesitating slightly, but under the pressure of the Deputy Director's tyranny, they rolled up their sleeves and approached Lei Jun and Lei Ying.

The clerk picked up a thick book from the side—this was a certain shady "technique."

However, just as the first officer's hand was about to touch Lei Jun's shoulder, a sudden change occurred!

Lei Jun and Lei Ying moved almost simultaneously! Their wrists, handcuffed to the armrests of the interrogation chairs, gave a sudden wrench!

The next moment, a scene occurred that left everyone inside and outside the interrogation room dumbfounded!

Those stainless steel handcuffs, which looked incredibly sturdy and were specifically designed to restrain suspects, were actually like fragile plastic toys under Lei Jun and Lei Ying's seemingly effortless struggle. They emitted a grating sound of twisting metal, and then... *Crack! Snap!*

The chains connecting the two pairs of handcuffs were actually snapped by them through sheer force!

No, it wasn't just snapped!

The rings around Lei Jun and Lei Ying's wrists also deformed and cracked due to the immense force, then fell from their wrists, hitting the floor with two loud "clangs"!

Silence!

A deathly silence!

Inside the interrogation room, Bald Second Uncle, the three Police Officers, and the clerk all seemed as if they had been hit with a freezing spell.

Baldy, Shoulder Dragon, and the others were also dumbfounded when they saw the two pairs of deformed and damaged handcuffs on the ground, their smiles freezing on their faces.

Su Qing and Su Ya, who had been crying in fear, and the anxious and angry Qin Yu, Lin Xiaoya, and Tony—all of them were stunned. They momentarily forgot their fear and anger, their minds going blank.

What was going on?!

The handcuffs... broke?

They were snapped!

By hand?

Bald Second Uncle's brain buzzed, going completely blank.

He had been a Police Officer for over twenty years and had handled countless handcuffs.

Their police station was equipped with standard stainless steel handcuffs produced by legitimate manufacturers; the quality was absolutely solid!

Once locked, without a key, trying to pry them open with brute force?

That was a pipe dream!

He had seen the strongest of men, and even they had to submit once handcuffed.

Even with tools, it would take quite some effort.

But these two women in front of him looked slender and slim, yet they had actually... with their bare hands... shredded handcuffs made of refined steel?

Are they even human?

Is this a sci-fi movie?
