<h4>Chapter 1268: Chapter 1268</h4>


    As the sun set and the sky darkened, Lin Yifan found himself sitting in the interrogation room of the police station once again.


    Returning to this ce for a second time, he watched Tang Qin enter the room with a smile.


    "Be serious."


    Tang Qin rolled her eyes at him and pulled a chair over to sit down.


    "Who made the rule that you can’t smile here?"


    Lin Yifan leaned back in his chair, squinting as he spoke.


    "I made the rule. What, are you nning to resist to the end?"


    Tang Qin pulled a chair over, sitting directly opposite Lin Yifan.


    "Are all Tang Family members so domineering? You fall for someone and a marriage must be arranged, and the man you want has to break up with someone else?"


    Lin Yifan put his hands on the interrogation table, his deep eyes staring straight at Tang Qin’s.


    Shen Shiyao had already told him all about her background.


    Her personality was strikingly simr to her half-brother.


    "You’re lucky I took a liking to you; only this way can you save your life. You have no idea who you’re up against or how disastrous Shen Shiyao’s broken engagement could be. You’re ying with fire. Besides, how am I not better than that Shen Shiyao? Why won’t you agree?"


    As expected, Tang Qin was unyielding.


    She met Lin Yifan’s gaze and questioned him.


    "Just because I’m a free individual, I can choose my own partner as well as whom I despise. To be honest, I really dislike your way of doing things, and my patience has its limits."


    Lin Yifan’s expression turned stern.


    "Limits? Then I just have to test them. Let me tell you, everyone in your vige now knows you’re a criminal suspect. Do you think you can still stay there even if they release you? If you beg me, I might consider arranging a temporary position for you at the city bureau, and potentially transfer you to the provincial bureau in the future."


    Having always been fierce since childhood, Tang Qin was a strong-willed woman.


    Added to the traumas over the years, it made her even more overbearing.


    ording to her n, as long as she got Lin Yifan away from the vige and kept him by her side,


    eventually, he would be hers alone.


    "Since you’ve delivered your message, it’s time for me to leave!"


    Unexpectedly, Lin Yifan chuckled lightly.


    He pushed the table pressing against his knees aside and stood up.


    "What are you doing?"


    Instinctively, Tang Qin reached out to grab his cor.


    But Lin Yifan was quicker, grabbing her hand, twisting it, and turning her around.


    Her entire arm was pinned behind her, and her head was pressed tightly against the wall.


    "Of course, I’m going back to find out who framed me. Miss Cop, I should thank you for spreading the rumor. Believe me, they wouldn’t expect me, the criminal suspect, to suddenly return."


    Lin Yifan whispered in her ear with lowered voice, pressing closely against her back.


    The sensation of his breath on her ear made her body go weak.


    Having suffered from a strange illness since childhood, she had never been this close to any man before.


    Especially with her delicate hand clutched tightly by his, now sweating.


    "You... can’t leave... you’re still a suspect... I won’t allow it!"


    Suppressing the tingling in her ears, Tang Qin bit her lip and spoke harshly.


    "What if you don’t allow it?"


    Lin Yifan deliberately breathed heavily by her ear.


    He had already guessed that the perpetrator had framed him to prevent him from staying in the vige.


    Once they knew he was detained, they would likely take action.


    "This is... assault... on a cop!"


    The unprecedented stimtion rendered Tang Qin’s legs almost unresponsive.


    But at that moment, she felt a nudge against her lower back.


    "The dashcam footage from the car is enough to prove my innocence. The only reason I came to the police station was to assist in the investigation. My statements have all been recorded. If it really blows up, I could use you of abuse of power and uwful detention. Moreover, I’m innocent, and you spread rumors in the vige that I’m a suspect. Just for that, I could get you to strip off that uniform."


    To be honest, Tang Qin had an exceptional figure.


    Her struggles caused her peach-like hips to continually rub against his body.


    The scent of shampoo still lingered on her hair, wafting into Lin Yifan’s nostrils.


    If they weren’t in a police station, given such suggestive actions, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t lose control.


    "Fine... I’ll agree to let you go... but you have to promise me one thing; otherwise, I’d rather take off my uniform than let you get away with it!"


    Tang Qin’s sensitive ears, relentlessly teased by Lin Yifan, made her feel like she couldn’t catch her breath.


    Her face flushed deeply, full of shyness.


    Yet she still bit her lip and spoke loudly.


    "As long as it’s not too much, I can consider it."


    Hearing this, Lin Yifan released her hand.


    He then took a step back, leaning back on the interrogation chair.


    "You must promise to spend a day with me."


    Tang Qin turned around, leaning against the wall.


    Her almond eyes filled with resentment.


    This guy knew fully well how sensitive her ears were, yet he deliberately teased her.


    Now, her legs felt like they weren’t obeying hermands.


    "If you’re not afraid, why should I be?"


    Lin Yifan took a step forward, pressing directly against Tang Qin.


    He looked down at her rosy, peach-like face. She was indeed a natural beauty.


    Only, that fiery temper needed some tempering.


    "You can go now!"


    Lin Yifan’s wicked smile made Tang Qin’s heart flutter.


    For the first time, the usually dominant Tang Qin couldn’t bear to meet his gaze, having to turn her face away.


    The heat surging through her body painted her face a bright red.


    "Until next time, then!"


    Lin Yifan pinched her tender chin before guffawing as he turned and left.


    "Just you wait, next time... I’ll make you kneel... and submit!"


    Tang Qin bit her lip, but her weak legs could no longer support her.


    She slowly slid down the wall, finallynding on the ground.


    Her mind reyed the events that had just transpired.


    Having never had such intimate contact with the opposite sex before, she never imagined herself being so easily overwhelmed.


    Especially the fire within her just moments ago, threatening to consume her entirely.


    Yet her desire to dominate was even stronger now.


    The man she desired to conquer had already walked out of the police station at this moment.


    Shen Shiyao, who had been waiting for him, rushed over at once.


    "Are you alright? It’s all my fault for dragging you into this mess, letting her target you."


    Clinging to Lin Yifan’s broad and sturdy shoulder, Shen Shiyao felt a hundredfold grievances in her heart.


    She hadn’t expected her engagement to cause him this much trouble.


    "Don’t worry, she can’t do anything to me alone. But tonight, I can’t apany you. Someone’s waiting for me back in the vige."


    Embracing the curvy Shen Shiyao, he knew he couldn’t indulge in a night of passion tonight.


    After all, those lurking in the shadows were about to make their move.


    Perhaps among them was the one who caused his father’s death.
