Chapter 97 Shen Xinyi Feels Wronged
"Help! ... Assault! ..." A shrill cry echoed through the interrogation room. At that very moment, Qin Mengxue and Cen Anan, led by Xia Shuxiao, the chief of the Beiyang City Police Bureau, appeared at the door. The absurd scene inside left all three stunned.
On the chair in the interrogation room, Shen Xinyi and Xue Tian'ai—a man and a woman—were entwined like octopuses, tangled together in a posture so indecent it seemed as though spring's light had burst forth. Shen Xinyi's clothes were disheveled; her collar revealed a sweep of snowy skin, a flush of red climbing her delicate neck from shame and anger, making her even more alluring.
Xue Tian'ai's head was buried deep between Shen Xinyi's ample bosom, leaving only the back of his head visible to the three outside. His expression was hidden, but his actions spoke volumes.
"Xue Tian'ai, what are you doing? I was worried about you, and here you are flirting with another woman! You scoundrel!" Qin Mengxue was the first to explode. Xue Tian'ai was her husband, and now, before her very eyes, he was assaulting another woman. She felt her dignity slipping away.
"Wow, brother-in-law! You're so bold! My sister has been outside the whole time, and you dare do this? Aren’t you afraid she won’t let you sleep in the bed tonight?" Cen Anan covered her face, peeking through her fingers at Xue Tian'ai's head.
Xia Shuxiao was filled with admiration for Xue Tian'ai. No wonder he was the pack leader of their Wolf Clan—his wife was outside, and he still dared to play around. It was a masterful display, truly remarkable!
But Xia Shuxiao felt a twinge of regret. Shen Xinyi had messaged him that the interrogation was over, prompting him to hurry over. Knowing that Xue Tian'ai, who had taken down the four robbers and was now at the station for a statement, was involved, he rushed at once. Seeing Qin Mengxue and Cen Anan waiting outside, he brought them along to open the door, only to witness this spring-infused tableau.
Xue Tian'ai was unfazed, his face buried in Shen Xinyi’s peaks, rubbing left and right, savoring their softness and grandeur, unaffected by the three onlookers. His head slipped between her breasts, and with a quick turn, he bit down hard.
Good heavens! So big! That was Xue Tian'ai’s first thought. Even through layers of clothing, the softness and comfort were undeniable.
Shen Xinyi had expected Xue Tian'ai, upon hearing Qin Mengxue’s voice, to panic, push her away, and run to beg forgiveness. Instead, he grew even bolder, taking full advantage and even biting her!
The sudden bite sent an electric shiver through Shen Xinyi, her face blooming with a rose-colored flush, eyes blazing with fury. "Pervert! Scoundrel! Get off me!"
"Xue Tian'ai, how long are you going to hold her?" Qin Mengxue’s face was stormy as she marched over. He was still at it, even with her here! Was another woman’s allure really that irresistible?
Anger and jealousy brewed in Qin Mengxue’s heart.
Watching Qin Mengxue’s murderous stride, Xia Shuxiao covered his face. Oh, Wolf Leader, you’re truly too lustful! This is still the police station’s interrogation room, and your wife is right outside...
Cen Anan, seeing her sister’s fury, hurried over to mediate, in case things escalated between her sister and brother-in-law.
Once at their side, Qin Mengxue and Cen Anan helped Shen Xinyi off Xue Tian'ai. Shen Xinyi, seeing Qin Mengxue’s pale, angry face, flashed a mischievous smile. Her plan had succeeded. She didn’t believe the proud Qin Mengxue would be so generous in matters of the heart; Qin Mengxue’s wrath should be enough to teach Xue Tian'ai a lesson. But she had sacrificed much—Xue Tian'ai had taken full advantage!
"Xue Tian'ai, you bastard, scoundrel! I was just helping you with your statement. You said your chair was broken, and when I tried to help, you assaulted me! You’ve gone too far!" Shen Xinyi kept adding fuel to the fire as she got off him.
"Hmm? What happened? My head feels fuzzy..." Now upright, Xue Tian'ai looked bewildered. He stared blankly at Qin Mengxue. "Wife, why are you here?"
"Shouldn't I be? If I hadn't come, you’d be turning the place upside down! Did you enjoy assaulting her?" Qin Mengxue glared at him, torn between grievance and anger.
"Assault? What assault? I don’t remember anything. I recall Officer Shen saying I needed handcuffs for the interrogation, then she put them on me, and everything went black... What happened?" Xue Tian'ai stood up, dazed.
"But could you unlock these handcuffs first? I’m feeling a bit restricted..." At his words, everyone looked at his hands—sure enough, he wore a pair of shining silver handcuffs!
A handcuffed man assaulting someone, and the person was a skilled young policewoman... Something didn’t add up.
Shen Xinyi saw the handcuffs and felt a sense of dread, reaching for her waist. Sure enough, they were her own—when had he stolen them? Had he swiped them when he touched her earlier?
"Hey, what’s your deal? I’ve said from the start that my brother-in-law wouldn’t do such things! Maybe you liked him and tried to assault him, failed, and then tried to frame him!" Cen Anan, devilish as ever, confronted Shen Xinyi.
"Officer Shen, I need an explanation. My husband was here for a heroic deed, so why did you handcuff him?" Qin Mengxue’s displeasure shifted entirely onto Shen Xinyi.
"Ahem, Shen Xinyi! What are you doing? It was just a statement, how did it turn into all this?" Xia Shuxiao stepped forward, clearing his throat with a stern face.
"I... um..." Shen Xinyi’s mind went blank, lost for words, beset by three interrogators at once.
She may have acted intentionally, but she had truly been assaulted—she should be questioning others, not being questioned herself!
Shen Xinyi’s gaze swept past the trio to glare at Xue Tian'ai. His face was no longer confused; he wore a wicked smile. From the moment she told him to sit in the chair, he sensed her scheme, fished out her handcuffs, and took advantage as he pleased.
Seeing that smile, Shen Xinyi felt her blood surge, almost spitting up in rage.
He did it on purpose—absolutely on purpose! Damn it, not only had she been taken advantage of, but she’d become the villain. She had lost both her dignity and her advantage.
"Let it go, Chief Xia, Mengxue, Anan. I believe Officer Shen didn’t mean any harm. I’ll forgive her this time!" Xue Tian'ai wiped the wicked smile from his face and stepped forward.
"Husband, are you alright?" Qin Mengxue asked, worried.
"I’m fine, just a bit tired. Let’s call it a day. Officer Shen, please don’t play such pranks again," Xue Tian'ai waved his hand, speaking righteously to Shen Xinyi.
"That’s wonderful. Thank you, Mr. Xue, for your understanding. I’ll make sure to discipline this girl!" Xia Shuxiao unlocked Xue Tian'ai’s handcuffs, then turned to the grim-faced Shen Xinyi. "Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Xue and Miss Qin!"
"I..." Shen Xinyi started to protest, but seeing Xia Shuxiao’s stern expression, swallowed her words, bowed slightly to Qin Mengxue and Xue Tian'ai, and said stiffly, "I’m... sorry!"
"Let it go, only my brother-in-law is so tolerant! Honestly, if you want him, just say so. He’s so handsome, I even want to steal him from my sister..." Cen Anan chattered away like a teacher.
"Anan!" Qin Mengxue interrupted, hearing her sister’s rambling. "Officer Shen, I hope this doesn’t happen again."
Shen Xinyi felt tears welling up—she was as wronged as the legendary Dou E, so aggrieved!
"Don’t worry, Miss Qin. Shen Xinyi won’t repeat this. You and Mr. Xue may go home now. Sorry again for the delay!" Xia Shuxiao apologized.
"Come on, Mengxue, Anan, let’s head home," Xue Tian'ai called, leading them out.
But just as Xue Tian'ai reached the door, he turned and shot Xia Shuxiao and Shen Xinyi a meaningful smile before striding away.
Shen Xinyi, seeing his arrogant grin, raised both hands in an international gesture of contempt. This scoundrel had taken advantage and still played coy—unforgivable! Their feud was now set in stone.
Xia Shuxiao smiled quietly, raised a thumb, and nodded approvingly.
As Xue Tian'ai left, his smile remained, but beneath its calm surface, a hint of lethal intent flickered.
His parting smile was not just for Shen Xinyi—it was a response to Xia Shuxiao’s whispered message as he unlocked the handcuffs: "Three a.m. Wolf Zone Prison. Interrogate the robbers."
