Nn looked toward Marcus, not daring to say anything.

Marcus snapped, “Why are you staring at me? Even if you’re my protégé, I can’t shield you now. I told you long ago to do your job right and serve the public.

“You brought this on yourself–do you expect me to bail you out? Talk! Who’s backing you?”

His eyes zed with menace. The message was unmistakable: if Nn dared to testify against him, his family would pay the price.

Nn was not foolish; he naturally understood what was meant. He gritted his teeth and said, ‘I don’t know. That was an anonymous ount.”

Connor snapped, “An anonymous ount? You proceeded to arrest without even verifying the informant’s identity? This is aplete disregard for established rules.”

From that point on, regardless of Connor’s questions, Nn refused to speak.

Afraid the questioning might drag him into it, Marcus stepped in before Connor could continue. He said, “Mr. Vale, don’t waste your anger–he’s not worth it. Someone, take him away.”

Marcus had originally intended to remove all the corrupt subordinates under hismand before Victor assumed office, and he had already given advance notice in all relevant ces.

He thought, ‘As long as the situation is sufficientlyplex, enough personnel are implicated, and everyone maintains strict confidentiality, even if Victor investigates again, nothing will be uncovered.

Yet, he hadn’t anticipated that his own daughter would encounter such an incident at this critical juncture.pelling him to utilize his personal connections to manage the aftermath on her behalf.

Marcus thought, ‘Of all things, that idiot Nn dragged Victor into it–he’s practically handing them the smoking gun!’

At Marcus’smand, someone had already arrived to drag Nn away.

Just then, Olivia said, “No rush.” She lifted her eyes, a trace of coldness flickering beneath her gaze. She sat there, bored, scrutinizing the men before her. She added, “I have a way to make him tell the truth.”

Upon hearing this, Marcus became flustered. He said, “Youngdy, I understand that you are displeased at being wronged, but this is a matter for our organization. There is no need for you to be further involved.”

Olivia said, “But I simply enjoy meddling in other people’s affairs.” She then turned to Connor and said, “Mr. Vale, I am the victim here.

Olivia had always been an eye–for–an–eye sort of person; she wasn’t about to let this go so easily. Moreover, the reason she called Stanley was precisely to deal with Marcus; if he bwere /bto bget /baway, her bentire /bn would

Connor hesitated for a moment, uncertain of what to do. He turned to Victor and Stanley. He asked, “Mr Lang, Mr. Saunders, what are your thoughts on this matter?”

It wasmon for interrogators to apprehend and question suspects, but for an apprehended interrogator to conduct interrogations–now that was truly unprecedented,

Stanley was naturally willing to help Olivia. He said, “Connor, I don’t think this is hard to handle. Since Olivia has a way, let her review it.”

Upon hearing this, Marcus felt a sudden jolt in his heart and inwardly eximed, ‘This is bad

He spat out, “No!” Realizing his reaction was somewhat excessive, he quickly exined, “She is, after all, not a regr staff member. Wouldn’t this be somewhat inappropriate? It’s not in ordance with the rules.

Victor said, “If there’s nothing inappropriate, then let her interrogate as my special advisor.

He nced at Marcus and sneered, “Rules? Take a look around this police station–do you see even the slightest bit of rules here? And now you want to talk to me about rules.”

Olivia sat there, arms crossed, silently smiling.

Rendered speechless, Marcus only then remembered to go isee /iOlivia.

Olivia was beautiful. Her eyes seemed to captivate the soul. Although she was just a teenage girl, her aura was so strong that it was almost frightening.

Marcus had worked in his field for over twenty years and had met countless individuals, yet he had never encountered anyone like Olivia. His original intention to muddle through was instantly dampened by half.

Since both Victor and Stanley agreed, Connor had no objections either. He said, “Alright, I’ll leave it to the youngdy then.”

Marcus clenched his teeth, not daring to disagree, and could only silently pray that Nn would not talk

nonsense.

Stanley, noticing Marcus’s reluctance, immediately understood the situation. Combined with what Olivia just said, he promptly offered his support.

He said, “Olivia, feel free to ask your questions. If anyone refuses to cooperate, just let me know. Everyone in Friendship Community will stand behind you.”

The mere mention of Friendship Community startled both Connor and Marcus.

Friendship Community was an old residentialmunity, but all the apartments there were retirement housing for high–ranking officials. The residents, before retiring, all held provincial–level government positions.

Connor had long heard that there was a young girl in that residentialmunity who was very well–liked and was especially liked by the former leaders. He didn’t expect Olivia to be the girl.

?

Connor was so furious that he nearly fainted. He red coldly at Marcus and snapped, “This is the kind of person your subordinates have produced. You deal with it yourself. I can’t help iyou /ianymore.”

He then turned to Olivia and said, “Youngdy, I will leave it to you.” With that, he sat down to the side and acted like he was washing his hands of the whole thing.

Olivia did not request a separate interrogation room and began the interrogation directly in front of everyone. She thought, ‘Only by reviewing together can we uncover the juicy details! fn616a Th?s chapter is updated by fι?dnοvel/fn616a

Olivia stood up and stretchedzily, then walked unhurriedly over to Nn. She raised her eyebrows and said, “You’d better speak for yourself. Don’t make me get physical.”

Nn kept his head lowered, still feigning ignorance. He replied, “I have no idea what you are talking about.”

Although he did not know the identity of Olivia, he was certain that as long as he remained silent, there was nothing they could do to him. He would certainly be released once the matter had been resolved.

Olivia said, “Annoying.” She mped Nn’s chin and then forced the pill she carried into his mouth. She moved so fast that no one even knew what had hit them.

Nn clutched his neck and repeatedly struck his chest. He asked, “What did you give me to eat?”

Olivia raised an eyebrow and said, “Rx–it’s not poison. It’s a truth serum.” She bent down, leaned in until her lips almost brushed Nn’s ear, and whispered something.
