Ma Jun grabbed Huo Wenyao by the collar in a fit of rage, his furious eyes seeming as if he wanted to grind Huo Wenyao to dust.

"hehe…"

Seeing Ma Jun's furious expression, Huo Wenyao's lips curled into a contemptuous smile.

Then suddenly his aura changed, and a mysterious and profound aura poured out, making him a force to be reckoned with even though he was handcuffed.

Seeing Huo Wenyao's imposing aura, which resembled that of a martial arts master, Ma Jun's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"You're a martial arts expert too?"

Ma Jun was not surprised. After the investigation, he thought Huo Wenyao was just an ordinary undercover agent who had been treated unfairly, and that his ability to start a company and grow it was just a matter of luck.

But to his utter surprise, Huo Wenyao was actually a martial arts master, and seemingly quite powerful at that; even he felt pressure from his aura...

Seeing Ma Jun's reaction, Huo Wenyao chuckled and thought to himself, "I have a system; there's a lot more you haven't thought of."

Ma Jun was intimidated by Huo Wenyao's imposing manner and dared not make a move. He was genuinely afraid that he would be no match for Huo Wenyao and would lose face again, which would make him too ashamed to face anyone.

"Huo Wenyao, I'm giving you one last chance. If you confess willingly, I won't make things difficult for you and I'll even give you a chance to lose weight."

Ma Jun was at his wits' end with Huo Wenyao. If he couldn't get Huo Wenyao to talk, then Ma Jun would have no choice but to take a risky and unpredictable step.

Therefore, Ma Jun was still unwilling to give up and pinned his hopes on Huo Wenyao's willingness to confess. Even if the hope was slim, he was willing to give it a try.

"Those who reap what they sow, will not live..."

Huo Wenyao responded to Ma Jun with only six words, then fell silent, his face bearing a subtle hint of mockery.

"You... Huo Wenyao, you think I can't do anything to you, right? Fine, you just wait."

Ma Jun was so angry that he almost lost his mind. This was the 3.5th time he had encountered such a situation. In the past, every criminal was afraid of him and would confess before he even made a move. He was notorious for his ruthlessness.

But now Huo Wenyao doesn't take him seriously at all. Ma Jun can feel the disdain in Huo Wenyao's eyes, which makes him feel like he has been ruthlessly humiliated.

It was as if he was the criminal and Huo Wenyao was the embodiment of justice, as if their roles had been reversed.

Just as the two were at an impasse, a team member ran into the interrogation room and whispered to Ma Jun:

"Officer Ma, a woman has come in and says she wants to see Huo Wenyao."

"352" Li Xin'er's powerful background

At this moment, Ma Jun was feeling annoyed, so his attitude was naturally not good. He waved his hand impatiently and said:

"Can't you see I'm busy right now? Tell her that we're still in the interrogation stage and visits are prohibited."

Upon hearing Ma Jun's words, the young policeman hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Haven't I made myself clear enough? What are you still doing here?"

Unable to vent his anger, Ma Jun took it out on the young police officer.

The police officer knew Ma Jun's volatile temper and was somewhat apprehensive, but he still forced himself to speak:

“Officer Ma, that girl outside doesn’t seem to be from a simple background. I think you should go out and take a look.”

Ma Jun's eyes narrowed. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go out and take a look. He wanted to see just how extraordinary this person's identity was.

"Keep an eye on him and don't let anyone touch him."

Ma Jun looked at the police officer in charge of the interrogation and then walked out.

Soon, Ma Jun saw a girl with an incredibly pure and innocent appearance, dressed in a refreshing style. Although Ma Jun wasn't particularly interested in women, he was still stunned by her beauty; she was simply an absolute beauty.

However, Ma Jun quickly composed himself and looked at the girl, saying:

"Huo Wenyao is currently being interrogated and it's not convenient for you to visit him. You should go back."

"Officer Ma, this lady is our police force's dedicated psychologist, her name is Li Xin'er."

The police officer standing nearby, knowing that Ma Jun was unaware of the girl's identity, explained.

Hearing this, Ma Jun smiled faintly and looked at Li Xin'er, saying:

"Well, we're colleagues now. I think you know the rules. During the interrogation phase, criminals shouldn't need psychological counseling, right?"

"Team Leader Ma, I am not here as a psychologist, but as a friend of Huo Wenyao to visit him. I hope Team Leader Ma can make an exception for me."

Li Xin'er's red lips parted slightly, and with her unparalleled beautiful face, it was hard to resist her.

But Ma Jun was different from ordinary people; he directly and firmly refused:

"I'm afraid this is against the rules, Dr. Li. There is solid evidence that Huo Wenyao is selling heroin. The case is about to be transferred to the Department of Justice and we cannot have any contact with the outside world."

Upon hearing Ma Jun's words, Li Xin'er's pretty face predictably turned cold.

"Team Leader Ma, did you personally witness Huo Wenyao selling heroin? Can you convict someone based solely on the words of a few thugs?"

Li Xin'er's words made Ma Jun lose face. He was being criticized by an outsider for his handling of the case. How could he bear it?

“Dr. Li, I, Ma Jun, adhere to principles when handling cases, and the police have their own procedures. It’s not your place to interfere.”

Ma Jun's words were quite harsh, and Li Xin'er's pretty face turned black with anger.

The police officer standing nearby thought that he couldn't let the two stand off any longer. Although he also disapproved of Ma Jun's actions, the girl in front of him was too extraordinary, and he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be caught in the crossfire.

“Officer Ma, this Dr. Li is Director Li’s daughter.”

The officer whispered a reminder, but Ma Jun was somewhat dismissive, assuming that the officer was referring to Director Li, who was just a police superintendent within the police force.

He dares to disobey the orders of the police force, so how could he possibly care about a mere superintendent?

"I don't care about Director Li or Director Wang. I said I can't see him, and that's final. Stop making trouble, or I won't be polite."

Ma Jun said impatiently, as if he regarded Li Xin'er as an annoying fly. His attitude was very bad, and he had no idea how to be gentle with a woman.

But it's not surprising that he was jealous. Such a beautiful girl had something to do with Huo Wenyao, so it was natural for Ma Jun to feel a little jealous.

Seeing that Ma Jun didn't understand what he was saying, the police officer standing nearby quickly pulled Ma Jun aside and said:

“Mr. Ma, we can’t afford to offend this Dr. Li. Her father is Li Deyan, the Deputy Secretary for Justice, and her mother is the head of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.”

Upon hearing this, Ma Jun's eyes widened in shock, and he couldn't help but shiver. He looked at the police officer with an incredulous expression.

Seeing Ma Jun's expression, the police officer nodded seriously. When he first heard the news, his reaction was even more exaggerated than Ma Jun's.

At this moment, Ma Jun felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind, and he couldn't help but wail inwardly.

The Department of Justice and the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) have him completely under their thumb.

These two departments are much higher in rank than the police force, and they have the advantage of keeping him in check.

The Department of Justice is in charge of criminal prosecutions. All cases involving criminal matters must be transferred to the Department of Justice, and Fok Man-yiu's case is no exception.

If the Department of Justice dismisses the case due to insufficient evidence, then Ma Jun's efforts will have been in vain.

The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) wielded immense power. Every civil servant in the port trembled with fear at the mere mention of the ICAC or the threat of being "chatted with coffee."

Ma Jun never expected that this seemingly innocent girl had such a terrifying background; it was practically an incredibly powerful one, someone he couldn't afford to offend.

At this point, Ma Jun didn't care about saving face anymore; he was already quite happy to keep his current position. He was genuinely a little intimidated by the girl.

"353" Ma Jun, disheveled in the wind

Looking at Ma Jun, whose expression changed so quickly, Li Xin'er couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

She originally didn't intend to reveal her background and identity, but if she didn't, she wouldn't even be able to get into the police station.

Being a psychologist wasn't enough for Li Xin'er to successfully meet Huo Wenyao. She was helpless; this was the first time she had used her status to pressure someone and achieve her goal.

But in her opinion, it was all worth it for Huo Wenyao. As long as she could see him, she would be content.

She never believed that Huo Wenyao would do such a dirty thing. In her eyes, Huo Wenyao was a man full of justice and responsibility.

Now that he's been arrested and taken to the police station, it must be because someone framed him. So Li Xin'er secretly vowed to help Huo Wenyao clear his name and restore his innocence.

She had even planned to use her parents' connections and influence to exonerate Huo Wenyao at a crucial moment.

Even if Huo Wenyao really committed a crime, Li Xin'er would still protect him, simply because she deeply loved him.

At this moment, Ma Jun was somewhat bewildered. Li Xin'er's identity had completely stunned him, leaving him in a dilemma.

In the end, however, he couldn't fight against Li Xin'er, and Ma Jun had no choice but to compromise. If Li Xin'er really went to great lengths to trip him up, he would be the one to suffer in the end, and he couldn't bear the consequences.

"Dr. Li, I'll give you ten minutes, but we can't leave you two alone. We'll be with you the whole time, and your conversation will be recorded. I hope you understand."

Upon hearing this, Li Xin'er was somewhat angry, but she also knew that it was already quite good to have achieved such a result. She nodded and then walked directly towards the interrogation room.

Ma Jun glanced at Li Xin'er's back, a hint of apprehension in his eyes. Only now did he understand why Huo Wenyao was so fearless; it turned out he had latched onto such a powerful figure.

With a girl like Li Xin'er as his backer, Huo Wenyao could practically do whatever he wanted in the entire port. No wonder his power grew so rapidly.

"Not a single word of what happened today can be uttered."

Ma Jun, with a solemn expression, sternly admonished the young police officer beside him.

He didn't want this matter to spread and become public knowledge. Not only would it make him lose face by being oppressed by power, but it would also boost Huo Wenyao's prestige and enhance Huo Wenyao's influence.

Upon arriving at the interrogation room, Li Xin'er immediately spotted Huo Wenyao. Seeing that he was unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief. She had been genuinely worried that Ma Jun would beat Huo Wenyao up, given his notorious reputation.

When Huo Wenyao heard that a girl had come to see him, he assumed it was Le Huizhen or Fang Siwei, as Fang Jiexia was unlikely to come to see him at this time.

But he didn't expect it to be Li Xin'er. The moment he saw Li Xin'er, Huo Wenyao felt a warm current rise in his heart, and at the same time, he felt a little guilty.
