The Wife Is A Superstar 6

Chapter 1062 - Chief Of Police

"The Chief of Police will reach you soon. Just continue to act according to our original plan. I have to personally lead my subordinates on how to best evade the police dogs' acute senses, so you might not hear from me for now." After saying these words, Jiyong's voice was gone.

There was a brief knock on the door before it opened, revealing the Chief of Police. He was a tall, taciturn, and strict-looking man. Lisa stood up to greet him. They could be considered acquaintances through their wives.

The Police Chief's wife was Si Xin, a.k.a. JJNumber1Fan, a Black Stars officer and staunch supporter of Jennie. The man didn't say it—couldn't say it because of his own police force's bugs planted in the room—but Lisa knew that he must have come tonight because of Madam Si Xin.

According to the original plan, tonight's incident should have already spread in the news. Since it involved him, and in direct extension, his wife, the Black Stars wouldn't sit still. They would surely do everything in their power to defend him and his wife's honour while condemning Diana. Madam Si Xin must have learned about what happened to him at the hotel tonight from this. Hence, why her husband, the Chief of Police, came in person.

With both Lisa and the Chief of Police being naturally cold individuals, they didn't bother with useless small talk. Lisa had already been questioned earlier. It would only be redundant and a waste of time if the Chief questioned him again about the same things.

Instead, the Chief told him, "I'll personally take charge of this case. Justice will be served to whom it's due."

"Thank you, Chief."

The Chief studied him with a sharp, probing look. Lisa didn't cower and faced the other man with calm albeit tired eyes.

"There's a sedative involved," the Chief said. "I heard that you only lost your consciousness for a short period of time before managing to wake up quickly to defend yourself."

"I was beaten up quite badly as you can see. I woke up from the pain. Besides, I have been training my body harder ever since I got a wife. Need to be healthier and stronger to support our family and live longer to grow old together with her. Maybe it's because of that the sedative isn't very effective on me."

The Chief nodded once. "The aphrodisiac?"

Lisa smiled bitterly. "All I can say is that I wish I'm with my wife right now and not with you."

This time, the Chief smiled for the first time since entering the room. "I understand. I won't keep you for any longer then. I heard that you refused to go to the hospital but I insist that you go."

Lisa frowned but didn't agree or disagree.

"You want justice, am I right? To put that woman who did this to you in prison?"

"En. Of course."

"Then get an official medical certificate proving all of your injuries plus blood work confirming the presence of the drugs in your body. It'll help your claim in the case."

Both Lisa and Jiyong had thought that they could avoid this when dealing with the regular police officers, but now that the Chief of Police mentioned it himself, Lisa had to do it now or risk casting suspicion upon himself. Forcing himself to remain calm, he nodded.

Satisfied, the Chief of Police didn't stay any longer and left to see the accused suspect, Diana.

Lisa's expression darkened. He could have his private doctor write the medical certificate to prove his injuries. Easy. After all, his injuries were very real. Jiyong didn't hold back at all.

The problem was the blood work for the drugs in his body. He couldn't risk having his blood drawn and analyzed because his brother-in-law's antidote might cause a bloodbath once detected and exposed.

The door opened once again. It was Bam.

"President, we are cleared to go."

"Good." Lisa stood up and walked out of the office with Bam, followed by his subordinates.

The police officers patrolling the place watched his group leave, not stopping them. Lisa knew that his every move was being observed. There were inconsistencies in the story that he and Jiyong made up and presented to the police. However, as long as it was more believable than Diana Young's version, then that was all that mattered.

In order to continue their charade under the sharp eyes of the police, Lisa acted weak and unsteady on his feet. Bam had to support him and once again unleashed his impressive talent in acting.

"President, are you still feeling dizzy? Ah, the scratches and bruises on your face have become swollen. Madam Manoban will surely become upset if she sees you. Her heart will break! This is Diana's fault! What an evil woman! How could she do such a sinister thing to you?! Shameless!"

Lisa glanced at his assistant out of the corner of his eye. It seemed that Bam was becoming addicted to this acting thing. Not that he was complaining because it was helping him out a lot. With Bam acting like this, Lisa didn't need to try too hard with his own meagre talent in acting.

The people in the vicinity heard what Bam said. It wasn't only the police who was present but some of the hotel employees and clients as well. Despite the incident, the hotel continued running as usual. Only certain areas were closed off from civilians during the police investigation.

"President, there are reporters waiting outside," Bam whispered to him. "Do you want to speak to them?"

"No. But they need to see my injuries."

"Understood. I'll do the talking."

His assistant was indeed excellent.

Once they exited the hotel, they were instantly surrounded by reporters and gossip-mongering passersby. Bam did all the talking while Lisa stayed silent all throughout. They didn't stop walking but moved slowly enough so that everyone and the cameras had enough time to take in Lisa's ugly injuries.
