Originally, Yan Shiwei's identity was astonishing and, on top of that, it was his man who was killed. To Zhao Yuwei, the case seed too easy to handle. Just take the suspect back and that would be it.
However, the situation had beco a bit tricky now, as Liu Wentian was clearly not soone to be trifled with!!
"Commander Zhao, this is all because Yan Shiwei wanted to harm . Liu Wentian stood up for and then Yan Shiwei wanted this man to kill Liu Wentian. Liu Wentian only acted in self-defense!! You cannot arrest him!!" Li He said urgently, stepping in front of Liu Wentian as she spoke.
Bitch, I'll have you killed sooner or later!! Yan Shiwei thought viciously to himself, sneering sarcastically,
"You say it was who wanted Old Zhao to kill him, do you have any evidence?? If not, then shut your mouth!!"
Pointing at the corpse of Old Zhao on the ground, he looked towards Zhao Yuwei and spoke coldly, "Commander Zhao, I don't care what your relationship with this guy is, my man was killed by him, and the body is right here. Arrest him imdiately!! He killed a man of the Yan Family, and now he must pay with his life!!"
Zhao Yuwei's expression turned sour. Regardless, he was the city's Chief Commissioner, and yet here was Yan Shiwei speaking to him in commanding tones as if he was nothing!
Regardless, the Yan Family was not to be offended, and indeed Yan Shiwei's man had been killed. Even if he wanted to help Liu Wentian, he had no way to do so.
Although Liu Wentian was no ordinary man, he was still no match for the Yan Family!!
"Liu Wentian, why don't you co back with us to Jing Ju for a while? We'll investigate this matter thoroughly." Zhao Yuwei said, though he spoke of an investigation, he knew well enough with the body right there, what sort of investigation could be needed.
Just as Li He was about to speak anxiously, Liu Wentian had already shaken his head and interrupted, "I refuse!!"
Gasp!!
The scene went still, and everyone was startled!!
What does this an?? An outright refusal of arrest??
Everyone initially thought that Liu Wentian might panic and desperately try to explain himself. Typically, that's how arrested suspects behave, unless they were simply too shocked to react.
However, Liu Wentian had casually dropped a "I refuse" stunning everyone.
Jing Ju wants to arrest you, and you think you can refuse??
Zhao Yuwei's face beca even uglier. Not only did Yan Shiwei disrespect him, but now Liu Wentian was being even more outrageous!!
Yan Shiwei cursed Liu Wentian for being an idiot internally but couldn't help almost bursting into laughter with the smile that crept on his face. Liu Wentian facing off against Jing Ju was exactly what he wanted to see. The bigger the ss, the worse Liu Wentian's end would be!!
"Liu Wentian, do you even understand what you are saying?? This is resisting arrest!! Don't do such foolish things, co back with us to Jing Ju."
Zhao Han said sternly, truth be told, Liu Wentian had once saved her cousin Han Guo's life. If possible, she wouldn't mind helping Liu Wentian, but resisting arrest was utterly foolish and would only worsen the situation!!
"Resisting arrest?? Can you give a reason why I should be arrested??" Liu Wentian asked with a smile.
Zhao Han frowned, pointed at the body of Old Zhao on the ground, and said, "Isn't this reason enough??"
Liu Wentian, puzzled, replied, "What does his death have to do with ?? Are you saying you would arrest just because you see a dead body??"
"Uh..." Zhao Han paused, confused. Wasn't he the killer??
She quickly grasped Liu Wentian's implication, "Are you saying you didn't kill this man??"
"Of course not." Liu Wentian spoke earnestly, spreading his hands as if he was truly being wronged.
"Bastard!! What nonsense are you talking about? The body is right here, and you still won't admit it, huh!! Do you think this is going to help you?? Ridiculous!!"
With a mocking smile, Liu Wentian said, "You say I killed this old man, do you have any evidence?? If not, then shut your mouth!!"
At that mont, everything went silent, and the expressions of those from Jing Ju turned a bit peculiar. These were exactly the words Yan Shiwei had said to Li He just earlier, and now Liu Wentian had thrown them right back at him, truly what goes around cos around!!
"I have—"
Just as Yan Shiwei was about to say he had evidence, he suddenly felt baffled. If this body wasn't evidence enough, what else could be??
An eyewitness?? He himself could have served as one, but now that he was accusing Liu Wentian of murder, he obviously couldn't stand as an eyewitness himself.
As for Li He and Mi Lin, it was clear whose side they would take.
In that case, he really had no evidence at all.
Li He's eyes sparkled, realizing it was a case without solid evidence. A smile started to form on her face just as she heard Yan Shiwei burst into laughter, "Evidence, why the hell do I need evidence?? Old Zhao was a Postnatal Peak Ancient Martial Artist, and he died here. Besides you killing him, could it have been or these two won?? Huh!! Don't even think about hiding your cultivation level. I don't believe you haven't revealed your cultivation since childhood. If there's any, my Yan Family will prove you're an Ancient Martial Artist!!" Yan Shiwei said, smugly joyful for the first ti that he wasn't a master himself.
Li He's face instantly turned grim. Liu Wentian had indeed shown his strength in public before. Last ti, during the Blood Night, the Earth Level mber Jing Hongkun had been defeated by him in front of many people!!
In this room, the only person capable of killing the old man was Liu Wentian!!
Zhao Yuwei and Zhao Han were as if struck by lightning, their expressions bewildered, doubting what they had just heard!!
