Cover Up With Just a Hand
A police car approached just as Xia Lei walked out the doors of the hospital
At the sight of the police, Xia Lei’s heart sank a little but he quickly pushed away his doubt “Even if Li Qing-Hua wanted revenge, surely it wouldn’t be so quick? This should be a patrol car”
The car zoo Xia Lei, and stopped in front of the hospital doors
“It wasn’t Li Qing-Hua after all,” thought Xia Lei He walked to the road
A thatand a police officer poked his head out the“Stop!” he shouted
Xia Lei stopped walking and his heart gave a quiet cry of despair
“It’s him!” The police officer with his head out thelooked at the paper with a printed ie in his hand and looked excited “Xia Lei! He’s the one the Chief is after!”
Gravel crunched as the car stopped next to Xia Lei The doors opened and four police officers alighted, i Xia Lei
Xia Lei was calm and spoke coolly, “What is it?”
“Are you Xia Lei?” asked the officer in charge
Xia Lei nodded “I am What business do you have with e flashed a warrant and smiled coldly “Xia Lei, you are suspected for extortion This is a warrant for your arrest Come with us!”
“You’re mistaken! Who did I extort?” said Xia Lei
The officer in charge slapped Xia Lei in the back of his head and spoke fiercely, “You know very ho you extorted! Pshaw, you have the balls to try and mess with our Chief Wash your ass and wait to be sent to prison - you’ll have rough days ahead of you! Take him away!”
Xia Lei was mad and he scoffed, “Arrest ret it!”
“This guy’s still talking back! Cuff hie
A police officer did as he said and cuffed Xia Lei, then pushed hiot in
Half an hour later, Xia Lei was brought to the North Police Station and locked up in an interrogation room His mobile phone, wallet and other possessions were confiscated
A young police officer entered the room, slammed the notebook in his hand on the table, then sat opposite Xia Lei “Own up Save us the trouble”
Xia Lei was not nervous at all He spoke calmly, “Own up to what?”
“You know very hat you did! Own up to extortingpolice officer hit the table aggressively, “You’d better come clean!”
“Sure, I’ll own up,” said Xia Lei, “that today, I -Hua - Chief Li - at Ju Shan Garden Teahouse He ith a woot a roo police officer cut Xia Lei off “Keep talking nonsense and I’ll start being nasty! Letsoal Do you want to add to your offence?”

Xia Lei then looked at a glass wall of the interrogation room It was easy to tell that people from outside could see into the room but people in the room could not see outside This was no obstacle to Xia Lei, however and when he used his ability, he saw Li Qing-Hua and Chen Chuan-Hu standing next to hi in hushed tones Chen Chuan-Hu kept nodding like an obedient servant It was easy to see that Li Qing-Hua was telling Chen Chuan-Hu how to fra his X-ray vision and a trace of a smirk appeared around his lips
He had intended to just let the -Hua was unexpectedly thirsty for revenge and sent his ratulated hi the video to his Baidu Cloud Drive in the hotel room With that video in his hands he was calant for a bit,” thought Xia Lei
The police officer nain Tell me, how much of the 50,000 you extorted did you receive?”
“Let me correct you on that That was not extortion It was medical fees, loss of income, nutrition fees, mental health and other expenses, all added up I did not take a cent My friend was beaten up by Chen Chuan-Hu Shouldn’t Chen Chuan-Hu pay for it?” said Xia Lei
“Medical fees?” Hu Bin scoffed “Save that for the courts If the judge believes you I’ll write my own name ‘Hu’ backwards The situation we have now is that you extorted ht Your eye’s fine but you used your eye as an excuse to cheat Chen Chuan-Hu out of 10,000 Do you confess?”
