Wrong Interrogation Room, The First Cracked Case Shocked the World

Chapter 89

Chapter 89: The Captain Recruits, Ning Cheng Is On The Hot Search, And The Whole Network Is Sensational

After defeating Liu Hailong's psychology, Ning Cheng walked downstairs without looking back.

Since Liu Hailong enjoyed toying with people's hearts, Ning Cheng resolved to completely dismantle his psychological defenses. Before the arraignment, Liu Hailong would be tormented by his own inner demons.

Someone who derives pleasure from the suffering of others is unlikely to repent genuinely. Only by turning the tables and manipulating his psychology could Ning Cheng force him to confront his defeat.

Like a clown on a stage, jerked around by a puppeteer's strings, yet naively believing he's the master—this realization would be the ultimate blow to his inflated ego!

"I lost, I lost...!"

Liu Hailong knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

...

After this showdown, many armed police officers now regarded Ning Cheng as an idol.

To defeat five gangsters, especially after suffering a broken finger, was beyond their own capabilities. "Unbelievable!"

As soon as Ning Cheng appeared downstairs, he was immediately swarmed by a crowd.

"Officer Ning, how did you manage that?"

"A god among us!"

Several armed police officers continued to hold down the tearful Liu Hailong, and everyone was stunned.

How do you make a criminal without empathy feel genuine remorse?

Such a vicious man, capable of masterminding a bank robbery, seemed devoid of conscience. What exactly did Ning Cheng do?

Zhou Ziyan asked worriedly, "What happened up there?"

Ning Cheng smiled, brushing it off lightly.

"Just showed him that he's merely a puppet of fate, being played for a fool!"

Just as Ning Cheng finished speaking, Ye Wanzhou rushed in and embraced him tightly.

"Ning Cheng, congratulations!"

Ye Wanzhou looked up, her face radiant with unconcealed excitement.

Zhou Ziyan sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose.

"The priority is to address Ning Cheng's finger. Reporter Ye, despite his calm demeanor, he's in excruciating pain every second."

Ye Wanzhou looked at Ning Cheng, a bit embarrassed, and smiled.

"Okay, I'll go handle my work. With such a major robbery, things are hectic!"

Zhou Ziyan retrieved the spare medicine box and a pen, fashioning a makeshift splint for Ning Cheng's finger.

"You should be grateful it's just a broken finger. These criminals aren't professionals; had they severed it completely, reattachment within ten minutes wouldn't guarantee full flexibility."

"Captain Zhou, is this part of your expertise?"

Zhou Ziyan rummaged through the medicine box she carried.

"Fractures and dislocations are as common as meals in the army. You'll understand once you participate in SWAT training."

By now, a group of reporters had caught wind of the story and rushed in to interview Ning Cheng.

"Officer Ning, can you describe how you single-handedly defeated the five gangsters?"

"Ning Cheng, we hear you're a rising star. Why were you chosen to negotiate? Don't you think you're too young?"

...

The barrage of questions blared through the microphones, and anger flashed in Zhou Ziyan's eyes.

Ning Cheng's injured finger—a critical issue that could affect his future—yet these journalists only cared about sensationalizing the news!

"Sorry, Officer Ning is injured and needs immediate treatment. Please make way!"

Just then, a police car drove up, armed police officers cleared a path, pushing back the reporters.

The window rolled down, and Ning Cheng and Zhou Ziyan's faces lit up.

"Team Lee!"

Li Gang leaned out of the car, grinning.

"What are you waiting for? Hop in, and I'll take you to the hospital!"

Once inside the car, Ning Cheng sighed in relief.

"Does it hurt? Hope this teaches you to think twice about being a hero!"

Zhou Ziyan glanced at Ning Cheng, a hint of helplessness in her voice, but her tone was gentle.

Unaccustomed to seeing Zhou Ziyan like this, Ning Cheng knew she cared. He smiled.

"Captain Zhou, stop teasing me. Tell me, if I hadn't been there today, would you have gone in?"

"I..."

Zhou Ziyan paused, then nodded.

"It's what we police officers do!"

"Exactly, it's our duty! Kid, I see potential in you. Our team is recruiting. Ever thought about becoming a special police officer?"

Li Gang watched the rearview mirror, satisfaction evident in his eyes.

Of course, Ning Cheng understood Li Gang's offer, but his focus was on solving cases. Besides, with the system in place, his skills would only improve.

"Sorry, Team Li, I prefer to stay with the team. Hope you understand!"

Li Gang knew it would be difficult to recruit Ning Cheng; his courage, resourcefulness, and quick thinking were better suited for broader police work. Special forces would limit him. Still, he had to ask, as he valued talent.

"Good lad, it's good to have ambitions. Either way, you're serving the people!"

A few minutes later, they arrived at the hospital. A nurse immediately ushered Ning Cheng inside for urgent treatment.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to them, a storm was brewing online.

All hostage property had been confiscated, but someone had posted about the incident on Weibo—a gaming streamer with millions of followers.

"Hey guys, long live the ** police! You won't believe what I just experienced: a bank robbery! I thought I was done for, but then this hero cop showed up and took down five armed gangsters single-handedly!"

The post immediately went viral.

Many dismissed it as fake, accusing the streamer of chasing clout.

"Are you kidding? A bank robbery? With guns? In this economy?"

However, other victims soon chimed in.

"I was there. The officer not only fought five against one, but he did it after a gangster forcibly broke his index finger!"

The commenter was the CEO of a listed company, which amplified the post's reach, landing it on Weibo's trending list!

The Jiangcheng Bank robbery had ended, thanks to a handsome young officer who'd just joined the force?

Reporters quickly shared photos of Ning Cheng, whom many recognized.

"Isn't that the officer who rescued the kidnapped girl?"

"I heard the situation was dire. Officer Ning knew the robber had a gun but went in anyway. Hats off to him!"

"Officer Ning is the cutest person ever, fight me!"

"Just want to say, officers, you protect us, and you're the best people in the world!"
