Supreme Divine Physician in the City-Chapter 676 Who Dares to Touch Him?

Liu Ying’s sarcastic words furrowed Chen Long’s brows as he calmly replied, "Miss Liu, we’re of course aware of what you’re saying, but knowing is one thing and the law requires evidence. Whether those two were assassins is still undecided! Even if they truly were assassins, sufficient evidence must be presented. It can’t just be determined by your word alone, defining them as victims."

"Furthermore, the nature of this murder case has yet to be determined, and for now, we are merely asking her to come back for an investigation! If we do find out that the two deceased were indeed assassins with a motive to assassinate Ye Xuan, then we will certainly clear his name."

Liu Ying’s expression darkened slightly; she knew there was reason in his words, but when it came to Ye Xuan, she was absolutely unwilling to compromise.

"Officer Chen, then let me ask you, if your police department found out that Ye Xuan was the murderer of those two, why didn’t you arrest him earlier! Why choose to do it now, at my birthday banquet, no less? It seems you don’t regard the Liu Family or the Du Family, deliberately trying to embarrass me and make me lose face."

Liu Ying’s face was cold, glinting with a chilling sharpness.

By the end, her eyebrows were brimming with intense anger, her voice icy and harsh, clearly infuriated by Chen Long’s sudden behavior of taking people into custody, demanding a severe reprimand.

To think you’d come to arrest someone, and it had to be Ye Xuan!

Who here doesn’t know that Ye Xuan is my date tonight at my birthday feast! The man I, Liu Ying, have chosen! With such a brazen arrest, where do you leave my face?

Isn’t this a blatant slap in the face? It would be odd if she didn’t feel enraged.

"Miss Liu, you misunderstand," said Chen Long, shivering inside from Liu Ying’s barrage of questions as he quickly explained, "The Liu Family is one of the three great families in Jianghai, and the Du Family is also a prestigious clan in Huayun. How could we dare not hold you two great families in high regard, let alone trample over your face! We would be trying to protect you above all!"

"The reason we are arresting him now is because we have just confirmed last night’s murder by Ye Xuan. Furthermore, upon receiving orders from higher up, knowing he was at your party, we feared he might commit further violence, harming innocent lives, hence we rushed over. If we have offended you, Miss Liu, please forgive us!"

By the end, Chen Long’s face wore a helpless expression.

Although he was the captain of the city police’s criminal investigation team and had powerful people backing this operation, the lady before him was no easy adversary!

Even if he were given a hundred times the courage, he wouldn’t dare offend Liu Ying.

After all, standing behind her was the Liu Family, a presence that could cause tremors throughout Jianghai Province with a mere stamp of their foot!

If they decided to deal with him, just a flick of their fingers could crush him, the captain, like an ant. How could he dare not speak carefully?

"Hmph, don’t give me that nonsense—do you think I don’t know whether Ye Xuan is the murderer? Still trying to fool me as if I’m a fool! It seems like you’re deliberately crossing me."

Liu Ying’s tone was cold, her patience wearing thin as she pointed towards the door and shouted,

"I give you one minute to disappear from my sight with your men! Otherwise, you can forget about being this captain of the detectives."

Seeing the lady already enraged, Chen Long internally lamented.

If it weren’t for the arrest, he would have turned around and left long ago. Everyone here was upper-class from Huayun, none of whom he could afford to offend!

Yet, before coming here, he had already received strict orders from above to bring back the suspects; he couldn’t simply walk away. Not unless he wanted to give up his role as captain.

Caught between a rock and a hard place with no way out, Chen Long gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Liu, we can leave, but we must take Ye Xuan with us! Everyone here is in danger. This suspect could potentially lash out and harm people at any moment!"

Now out of options, he could only paint Ye Xuan as a dangerous character, hoping to use public pressure to make Liu Ying change her mind.

"Hmph! Let me tell you, if you want to take Ye Xuan away, no way! As long as I’m here, I dare you to lay a finger on him and see what happens?"

Liu Ying’s pretty face turned cold, and she had clearly entered rage mode, dominantly saying,

"Whoever dares to touch him will be left out in the cold! No one dares to take away someone the Liu Family is protecting!"

Not to mention the loss of face if Ye Xuan were taken away, just the fact that he was her date tonight, the person Liu Ying cared about, she would never allow these police officers to take him away! Even if it alarmed the Liu Family, she would protect Ye Xuan.

At that moment, Liu Ying was like a mother hen protecting her chick, her cold expression made even Chen Long and his police officers hesitate.

Given her status, if she really turned against them for Ye Xuan, she would definitely follow through on the threats she had made!

Making them all lose their jobs and be left out in the cold was just a matter of speaking for her.

Now they were truly in a difficult position, what should they do?

Damn! You immortals fight, and you involve us mortals in it, are you trying to drive us to suicide?

Chen Long thought with a gloomy face, he had started as a low-ranking officer and had struggled for over a decade to get to his current position.

Could it be that just because of today’s incident, he would have to roll over and go back to square one? Would all his years of effort be in vain?

Just when these detectives were feeling conflicted, a magnetic voice came from the side:

"Little Ying, Captain Chen is just following orders, don’t make it too hard for him."

The speaker was none other than Hua Tian of the Heavenly Capital watching the excitement nearby!

Stepping forward indifferently, he stood between the two, glanced at Chen Long, and then said to Liu Ying,

"These police officers are serving the people and it’s not easy for them to earn a living, why must you break their rice bowl?"

Seeing this scene, Chen Long finally sighed with relief. If this young master had not stepped in, he really wouldn’t have been able to hold out.

This woman’s presence was too strong, even he, the captain of the detective squad, could hardly bear it!

Seeing the reaction between these two, how could Liu Ying not see the trickery involved?

She immediately sneered, her eyes mocking, "Oh? So Young Master Hua has finally stepped forward, abandoned his hiding?"

"Little Ying, what do you mean by that? I’m just speaking out for justice."

Hua Tian raised an eyebrow, pretending not to understand.

"Speaking out for justice? Heh!"

Liu Ying scoffed sarcastically, indifferently saying, "Hua Tian, stop acting in front of me! Do you really think I can’t see that this is your doing? If it weren’t for you, the great Young Master of the Hua Family backing him, would a mere captain of the detectives dare to come here to arrest someone?"

"Do you really think I’m an idiot!?"
