The Mightiest Little Peasant

> Squad Leader Sun ended the call and returned to the interrogation room.

 “What did the Deputy Commissioner say, Squad Leader?” One of the police officers asked.

 “He says he’s very concerned with the development of this case.
We will need to solve it as quickly as we can,” Squad Leader Sun replied.

 Then, he returned to his seat.

 “Let me ask you one more time.
Do you confess or not?” He questioned as he glared at tang Hao.

 Tang Hao did not reply.
Instead, he smiled curiously as he looked at Squad Leader Sun.

 Then, he leaned over to Squad Leader Sun’s ear and whispered, “Squad Leader Sun, it’s a bad habit to lie.
I’ve heard everything in the conversation outside.”

 Squad Leader Sun’s expression changed.

 Slam!

 He rose from his seat.
His expression was scary and both of his eyes were transfixed on Tang Hao, as though something grew on his face.

 His emotions were in turmoil and his back was already wet with cold sweat.

 ‘That can’t be.
This interrogation room is soundproof and I’ve already lowered my voice.
No one else could have heard me.
He must be bluffing!

 ‘But why did he have to bluff me? Unless… he really knows something?’

 “What’s the matter, Squad Leader Sun?” the other police officers saw his changed expression and asked out of concern.

 “This kid just cursed me.
Go outside and turn off the security camera.” Squad Leader Sun said sternly.

 The other police officers were surprised, then they understood what Squad Leader Sun intended to do.

 “You can’t do that, Squad Leader Sun! It’s against the law to force a confession.” Zhao Qingxue was anxious.

 “Get out!” Squad Leader Sun roared.

 “Let’s go, Officer Zhao! Squad Leader Sun knows what he’s doing,” one of the police officers said.

 “Get out! Now!” Squad Leader Sun roared again.

 Zhao Qingxue hesitated, then turned around and left the room.

 Slam! The door closed.

 Two people were left in the interrogation room.

 Squad Leader Sun’s face was ghastly under the dim yellow light and looked even a little vicious.

 Earlier, he had looked like the face of justice.
Now, he was like a dastardly criminal.

 “You dare bluff me, kid?” Squad Leader Sun said through gritted teeth.

 “Bluff you?” Tang Hao smiled.
“I did hear every word that was said earlier.
You might look like a righteous person, but you do some really despicable things under the table.
Tell me, are you still a policeman of the people?”

 Then, Tang Hao smirked mockingly.

 Squad Leader Sun shuddered and his expression changed.
“Impossible! This interrogation room is soundproof.
You did not hear anything.”

 “Really?” Tang Hao said leisurely, “Five million is not a small sum, Squad Leader Sun!”

 “You… how did you know that?” Squad Leader Sun’s face changed color.

 “Didn’t I tell you I’ve heard everything?” Tang Hao said coldly, “It happens that my ears are unusually sensitive!”

 Squad Leader Sun’s face changed color a few times.
He was flustered at one time, then his face became ferocious.

 “Silly brat, so what if you found out? No one will believe you.
Do you think people would listen to a convicted rapist? Say another word and I’ll kill you!” He walked in front of Tang Hao then spoke viciously into Tang Hao’s ear.

 “Squad Leader Sun, you can’t hide the facts forever.
You’ll soon face the consequences of your actions!” Tang Hao said coldly.

 “Looks like you’re tired of living, you brat!” Squad Leader Sun roared.
His face turned savage in an instant.
He reached out to grab Tang Hao’s hair.

 Tang Hao dodged and rammed into his chest.

 Bang!

 The headbutt caused Squad Leader Sun to stumble backward and slam into the wall behind him.
