Chapter 521: Capturing Jiang Xinwu

After Hu Fei finished explaining the situation in detail, Xia Mutong looked at Ling Chen irritably and said, "Since you already knew the suspect’s information, why didn’t you inform me?"

Ling Chen replied helplessly, "I wasn’t sure if it was him, so I dared not tell you."

Xia Mutong said incredulously, "I don’t believe you." Then, pointing at Hu Fei, she said, "You, come with me."

"Me?" Hu Fei was stunned.

"Hurry up, I don’t have time to waste here." As she finished speaking, Xia Mutong grabbed Hu Fei and dragged him out of the hospital room.

After they left, Ling Chen asked Nanrong Hao to bring a cell phone and then called He Ziyun. Xia Mutong was going to arrest Jiang Xinwu, and he was worried. He asked He Ziyun to secretly follow her to prevent any mishaps.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Chen lay back with his hands behind his head, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.

The encounters tonight with Huang He, He Chen, and Jiang Xinwu, who were all missing persons from years ago, now choosing to pledge allegiance to the God Organization, seemed unbelievable. Does the God Organization really have such allure?

Besides, one thing was certain: Jiang Xinwu and the others had successfully completed the Lucifer experiment.

For now, he hoped that Xia Mutong could successfully capture Jiang Xinwu and extract some valuable information from him.

While pondering, Ling Chen felt sleepy and soon his head was foggy, and not long after, he fell into a deep sleep.

...

"Chen."

Hearing Nanrong Hao’s voice, Ling Chen opened his eyes and rubbed them, questioning the figure beside his bed, "What’s up?"

Nanrong Hao handed the phone to Ling Chen and said, "It’s Hu’s call."

Hu?

A thought struck Ling Chen’s mind, and he quickly took the phone and greeted, "Ling Chen, we’ve settled things here." "Did you catch him?"

"Thanks to Mr. He for helping; otherwise, we might have lost even more men."

"Were there many casualties?"

"Two seriously injured, three lightly injured, but fortunately, no fatalities."

"That’s good." Ling Chen breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where is he being held?"

"At the police station. I’m here with Officer Xia. They’re preparing to interrogate Jiang Xinwu, and I wanted to stay, but Officer Xia kicked me out."

"Stay there. I’ll have someone contact you immediately. And don’t let them interrogate Jiang Xinwu."

"Okay, I’ll try to stall them; hurry up."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Chen immediately dialed General Qiao Zhen’s number. Jiang Xinwu was a member of the God Organization, and he didn’t want Jiang Xinwu to reveal any information about the God Organization to the local police. The existence of the God Organization has always been a secret, not to be disclosed to unauthorized personnel.

After finishing his conversation with Qiao Zhen, Ling Chen struggled to sit up in bed and then directed Nanrong Hao, "Get my clothes."

"Chen, what are you..."

"Stop talking, just go."

Unable to argue with Ling Chen, Nanrong Hao obediently followed his instructions. Taking advantage of the time Ling Chen was dressing, he ran to the hospital front desk to handle the discharge procedures for Ling Chen, to avoid wasting time later.

Leaving the hospital, Ling Chen got into the car and said, "Head to the police station immediately."

Nanrong Hao started the car and asked with concern, "Chen, are your injuries okay?"

"It’s fine."

The wounds had been stitched up, and although there was still some pain, he could endure it. The most important thing right now was Jiang Xinwu; everything else could be ignored.

Half an hour later, Ling Chen smoothly arrived at the entrance of the police station.

"Wait for me outside." Dropping these words, Ling Chen hurriedly pushed open the door, got out of the car, and rushed to the police station’s office building alone.

It wasn’t Ling Chen’s first time at the police station, and before long, he deftly found the interrogation room located on the third floor. Before he even entered, he saw two policemen locking Hu Fei’s arms and dragging him out of the interrogation room.

"Stop!"

Ling Chen shouted loudly, rushing to stop the actions of the two policemen.

Seeing Ling Chen appear, Hu Fei seemed to see a savior, urgently crying out, "Ling Chen, save me quickly! These guys are bastards. The orders have been issued from above, yet they dare to defy them."

Hearing this, Ling Chen quickly stepped to the front of the interrogation room, pushed on the door, but found it locked and unable to open. Seeing this, Ling Chen frowned, directly kicked the door open with his foot, and then rushed in.

Inside the interrogation room, Jiang Xinwu was handcuffed to a chair, his hands and feet bound by chains. Nearby, Xia Mutong and another male police officer were taking notes, preparing for the interrogation.

"Ling Chen?"

Seeing Ling Chen break in, Xia Mutong was slightly startled, her face immediately fell, and she asked with a furrowed brow, "What are you doing?"

"I should be asking you that. What are you doing? Don’t tell me you haven’t received the orders from above; you have no right to interrogate this person. Officer Xia, what you are doing now is an abuse of power, and you should know the consequences if this gets escalated."

Xia Mutong tossed her head, her expression coldly saying, "I don’t know any orders; I only know this guy has injured several of my colleagues. No matter what, he must confess here."

"No, I must take him away." Ling Chen said gravely, "Officer Xia, considering our friendship, I’m giving you a heads-up: you’d better stay away from some matters; it’s for your own good."

Saying this, Ling Chen walked straight to the desk, extending his hand towards Xia Mutong, and said, "Give me the handcuff keys."

"No," Xia Mutong defiantly said, "Not unless you let me participate in his interrogation."

"No."

"You..."

Xia Mutong was furious, her face turning red. When she had received the orders from above earlier, she became interested in Jiang Xinwu’s identity. Since he was of such importance to the higher-ups, surely uncovering something significant was possible, and she also wanted to seek justice for her injured colleagues.

But she hadn’t expected Ling Chen to show up at this moment and be so uncompromising.

Seeing that Xia Mutong was reluctant to release him, Ling Chen simply shifted his gaze to the other male police officer.

He took out a credential from his wallet, placed it on the table, and said seriously, "I now order you, in my capacity as a special military envoy, to release him immediately."

The male police officer took a look at the credential, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly stood up, saying, "Yes, sir."

A special military envoy?

Xia Mutong looked at Ling Chen in astonishment; she’d always thought Ling Chen was just an ordinary civilian, a retired soldier. She never knew he had such a status.

How much had this guy hidden from her?

In thought, the male officer had already unlocked Jiang Xinwu’s handcuffs and obediently handed the suspect over to Ling Chen.

"Officer Xia, I know you want to serve the people, but rules are rules; you must obey. I won’t pursue this matter any further, but I hope it doesn’t happen again."

After speaking, Ling Chen escorted Jiang Xinwu out of the interrogation room.
