Chapter 1061 - No Reply

Two police partners were tasked to question Jin Liwei while his injuries were being treated. Unlike Rose Young's experience in the other office, these two police officers were businesslike but still polite as they recorded Jin Liwei's account of what happened. They didn't make any unnecessary comments or expressed much of their personal thoughts. Nevertheless, Jin Liwei could sense that they believed most, if not everything, that he was telling them.

The police officers were both men. After learning what Jin Liwei went through tonight in the hands of a desperate madwoman, they couldn't help but side with him. They wouldn't want to go through a similar experience, especially since one officer was married like Jin Liwei while the other had a girlfriend. This kind of incident was not only scary for the victimized man but could also destroy his relationship with his significant other and their family if they had one together.

Jin Liwei felt relieved that the police officers weren't giving him a difficult time because he could hear his brother-in-law's intermittent cursing through his earpiece. It was terribly distracting. Fortunately, the officers attributed his distracted state from being drugged and almost being sexually violated by Rose Young.

The earpiece he was wearing was tiny and designed in such a way that it was concealed behind the ear's cartilage. It was practically invisible if one didn't look too closely. Therefore, the two police officers didn't notice that Jin Liwei was distracted not because of trauma but due to the earpiece instead.

Iris designed the earpiece and Jin Liwei had it made for all of them, including their subordinates. Since Lu Zihao stationed a portion of Shadow Winds at Dragon Palace Home #10, they got wind of the sleek earpieces. Lu Zihao wanted all of his subordinates to have them as well. Iris agreed to her older brother's request, so Jin Liwei had more made and sent to Shadow Winds.

Listening to his brother-in-law's graphic curses, Jin Liwei's Russian vocabulary was expanding yet again. However, he needed to be careful about practicing these curse words to prevent corrupting his AI children.

He was also getting updates about what was happening outside through the earpiece from both his subordinates and Shadow Winds. This way, he didn't bother asking the police officers about any updates which might have contributed to how well they were treating him.

The questions finally ended. The two police officers stood up and prepared to leave.

"Mr. Jin, thank you for your cooperation. We will now leave you to rest and to recuperate from your injuries. We might contact you soon to ask for any additional information that we might need for our investigation. I hope that you'll continue to cooperate with us."

"Of course." Jin Liwei also stood up and shook hands with the officers. "I'll cooperate with whatever the police needs me to do in order to get justice for what I went through tonight. If it were only me, I might not care this much, but I have a wife now."

"I understand what you mean, Mr. Jin."

Indeed, understanding passed between the three men. No additional words of explanation were needed.

"Please stay here for a little longer. We're told that our Chief wants to speak with you. He should be arriving any minute now."

"En." Jin Liwei nodded and sat back down when the officers finally left the room.

A couple of his subordinates entered and joined him inside while the rest waited outside in the hallway. It seemed that Xu Tian wasn't finished being questioned yet in another room.

Jin Liwei leaned back and closed his eyes. Exhaustion swept over him like a heavy weight pressing down on his entire being. His whole body also ached from being punched and scratched by his brother-in-law earlier. This wasn't the main problem, however.

The embers of desire continued to burn low in his stomach. He wanted to be with his wife. Just thinking about her immediately turned the embers into fire that was getting bigger and hotter the more he fantasized about her.

Before his desire got out of control, he pinched his thigh hard. He gritted his teeth and took a few deep breaths while reciting the value of pi in his mind. He wasn't able to completely calm his desire to make love with his wife, but at least he wasn't acting like a horny dog.

Lu Zihao informed him earlier that this office room was bugged. It had a permanent surveillance camera courtesy of the hotel itself, but the police placed additional bugs before bringing Jin Liwei inside to be questioned.

Hence, Jin Liwei didn't dare to speak directly to the earpiece and just tapped on it instead using Morse code.

'Ketchup.'

No reply.

He tried again.

'Bacon.'

No reply either.

'How's your mom?'

Still no reply.

He frowned, feeling worried.

'Is your mom OK?'

Neither of his AI children answered. Now that he thought about it, he hadn't heard from either Ketchup or Bacon since he pretended to lose consciousness and allowed Rose Young's minions to kidnap him and bring him to her. All he knew was that the two of them were busy battling Eagle with their mother.

He was about to ask his brother-in-law instead if the man had any news about his wife and AI children when Lu Zihao released another string of Russian curses, more explicit this time. Jin Liwei only understood a few words but they were enough to let him know that that these curses must never be exposed to his AI children.

"The Chief of Police has arrived," Lu Zihao finally spoke in Mandarin. "Fucking shit. He brought police dogs."

Jin Liwei's eyebrows rose but he quickly smoothed out his expression after remembering that there were bugs in the room.

He tapped his earpiece. '

Drugs.'

"My subordinates already found the drugs that the nympho used on you. The sedative still has a lot left while the aphrodisiac is fucking emptied. You must still be feeling it, huh."

Jin Liwei didn't bother replying. Just being reminded that he had aphrodisiac in his system was enough to awaken the fire of desire in the pit of his stomach. He gritted his teeth and controlled himself once again.

"We left the bottles alone for the police to find," Lu Zihao said. "They're evidence that we need to incriminate that nympho."
