The party's policy

  Tang Zhendong yawned, "Officer, it's too late, I'm sleepy, ask me again tomorrow."

  "Cut the crap and be honest with me."

  Tang Zhendong was completely unmoved by Chen Rong's feminine charm, having seen too many big shots in society and heard them share their experiences, whether it was asking about experience or counter-surveillance experience.

  "What's your name? How old are you? Where are you from?" Chen Rong felt that she could dig deeper into Tang Zhendong, but before doing so, she had to break through his psychological defenses.

  For half a day, Tang Zhendong didn't speak, Chen Rong slapped the table again, "Be honest and confess, speak quickly!"

  Tang Zhendong threw up his hands, "Officer, it's you who doesn't let me speak nonsense. You asked these questions three hours ago, and now you're asking again. Isn't this just nonsense? That's why I didn't say a word."

  Chen Rong was furious when she heard Tang Zhen Dong's words, daring to use her own words to deceive her. This kid must have something up his sleeve, and his anti-detection experience is too rich.

  Chen Rong slapped the table again, "Speak quickly, don't waste words."

  Tang Zhendong, 25 years old, from Haicheng.

  "Where did you go after graduating from Haicheng No. 1 Middle School?"

  "Officer, there's something I need to correct. I only studied at Haicheng No. 1 Middle School for less than half a year and didn't graduate," Tang Zhendong corrected.

  "Then where did you go?" Chen Rong slapped the table again, "Speak."

  "Officer, doesn't your hand hurt from slamming the table? Even if your hand doesn't hurt, consider whether the table hurts. And even if the table doesn't hurt, think about the taxpayers - you're breaking the table with their money."

  Chen Rong glared at him with her eyes wide open and slapped the table again, "What's it to you? Where did you go after dropping out of Hai Cheng No. 1 Middle School? Speak."

  "I sell fruits beside the train station in a small alley, apples, pears, grapes, whatever fruits come I sell."

  "No, let me tell you, after dropping out of Hai City No. 1 Middle School, you went to prison for manslaughter and were sentenced to eight years. You were released last year after serving your sentence in Lai County Prison, which is less than 200 kilometers away from Hai City. Your warden was Officer Zhao Yong. You're quite ruthless, daring to kill someone in the first year of high school. I've never heard of anyone killing someone in their first year of high school before." Chen Rong's eyes widened, exuding a fierce and intimidating aura.

  "Officer, don't try to intimidate me, I'm not someone who can be easily scared. Even if I went to prison, it only means that I once broke the law and paid an eight-year price for it. Although the law doesn't emphasize letting bygones be bygones, since I've already served my sentence, shouldn't that mean the country can't pursue me anymore?"

  "You'd better behave yourself, a social scum like you can easily commit crimes, isn't today's incident an example? You openly beat people in public places, and just the day before yesterday, you broke Zhang Long's arms. That's impressive, Zhang Long is a well-known big brother figure in Haicheng. You dare to break his arm, which shows that you are fearless. Tell me, what other illegal things have you done recently?"

  "Am I breaking the law? Officer, can't you be seen as maliciously inducing good citizens to break the law? Whether or not I'm breaking the law, you don't even know yourself, how would I know?"

  "Tang Zhendong, be honest with me. I can tell by looking at you that you're involved in other cases. Leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist - this is the policy of our party. I hope you understand the situation."

  "I heard that our party's policy is to be lenient on those who resist, allow them to return home for the New Year, and severe on those who confess, but now it seems like your policy has changed again, officers?"

  Chen Rong let Tang Zhendong's seven orifices emit smoke, but she also recognized that Tang Zhendong was a tough nut to crack. If there wasn't concrete evidence in her hands, it would be too difficult to get him to reveal the truth from his own mouth.

  Then Chen Rong changed his strategy, "Do you know Zhang Long and Wu Feilong?"

  "We had just met, they came to hit me, I fought them fairly, and the result was that they lost. That's it." Tang Zhendong said frankly.

  "Do you know that horse, Jia Yang?"

  Tang Zhendong thought for a moment, but couldn't recall who this person was. "Ma Jiaoyang? I really don't know him, what does he do? Is it a man or a woman?" In fact, Tang Zhendong's brain was very good, how could he not remember Ma Jiaoyang? This newspaper's security guard had even used the Mugu Drum and Morning Bell to momentarily erode his mind, letting himself be controlled for a short time. However, these things, Tang Zhendong didn't plan on telling Chen Rong about them.

  "Nonsense! If you didn't know Ma Jiaoyang, then after Zhan Xiangyang called Ma Jiaoyang to take revenge, why did he nod and bow when he saw you? I'm telling you, Tang Zhendong, you'd better confess your problems honestly, otherwise no one can save you."

  "I do things upright and proper, no need for others to save me."

  "Are you kidding me? I've only heard convicts who have been sentenced to eight years of hard labor say they do things with integrity. This is the first time I've heard someone who associates with thugs like Wu Feilong, Zhang Long and Liu Hu say they do things with integrity. Are you treating me like a three-year-old?"

  Tang Zhendong's expression changed, "Officer, I'm not ignorant of the law. I studied our country's laws in prison. No matter what crimes I committed in the past, I've already served my sentence. After being released, the reputation of a criminal no longer has anything to do with me. Even those who have committed crimes but haven't been tried can only be called criminal suspects. But you openly call me a criminal, which is already defamation and slander. I completely can sue you."

  Chen Rong realized her mistake as soon as Tang Zhendong spoke, but Chen Rong was a stubborn person. On the surface, she had made a mistake, but she absolutely refused to admit it with her mouth. "You dare to sue me? I don't believe it! You're a troublemaker who injured someone severely and now you're daring to defy the police? Who gave you this guts? Who can trust you?"

  Chen Rong didn't spare anyone with her words, but in her speech, she never referred to Tang Zhendong as a criminal.

  "Officer, if you are familiar with the law, then you would know that tonight's incident was not my fault, but rather Liu Hu and others who started it. I can only be considered a peacemaker. From both a legal and moral standpoint, I am not in the wrong. At most, I could be accused of using too much force to separate them."

  Chen Rong was furious when she heard Tang Zhendong's sophistry, "Pulling the frame? I've never seen anyone pull the frame and break several ribs of two people, one of whom was beaten into a concussion. If pulling the frame is like this, then I think this world is too crazy."

  "Officer, you keep asking me questions, I ask myself if I've broken any law. Even if I hit someone, it was to save someone else, and if I hurt someone, I can pay the medical fees. If I broke the public security administration punishment regulations, then I can pay the fine. But what's your point? What have I done to you? Did I insult you or rape you?"

  Tang Zhendong said "What did I do to you?" Chen Rong's face turned red, when he said "I'm rude to you, I raped you", Chen Rong's face changed again, anger on her face, "Then wait for the fine!" After finishing, she slammed the door and left.
