Strongest Soldier King

The luxurious western restaurant was filled with the beautiful sound of country music as a black singer played and sang on stage, holding a guitar with no accompaniment. The restaurant patrons looked up to watch, listening intently. Luo Zheng couldn't help but raise his head to glance at the singer, feeling incredibly heavy-hearted.

In order to avenge Lan Xue's mother, Luo Zheng had pushed himself to the limit and finally obtained a small clue. After traveling a long distance to Gambling City, he unexpectedly found that the target's contact person had suddenly disappeared, causing Luo Zheng to be vigilant and had to prepare for the worst.

Luo Zheng pondered over the need to devise a plan and was about to discuss it with Lan Xue when suddenly, two local policemen entered the western restaurant. The policemen checked the surroundings and their gaze fell upon Luo Zheng, approaching him swiftly, one hand already resting on the gun at their waist, their expression serious.

This scene shocked Luo Zheng, his brows furrowing as he exchanged a glance with Lan Xue, who also showed a look of surprise and doubt, gesturing to not act rashly. Luo Zheng nodded, looking at the two approaching policemen, one in front of the other. The leading policeman came up to them and whispered, "There have been reports of theft involving you two. Please cooperate and come with us to clarify the situation."

"Alright." Lan Xue stood up, throwing a glance at Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng found the two policemen very strange and thought it best to follow and see what was actually happening here. So he got up, looked at the policemen, and said coldly, "No problem, it is our duty to cooperate with your work. However, if someone is slandering us, there must be an explanation."

"Thank you for your cooperation." Seeing the two being cooperative, the policemen breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Zheng and Lan Xue exchanged glances and walked outside. Along the way, Luo Zheng thought carefully; the contact person hadn't shown up, yet two policemen suddenly did. How did the police accurately find their location? Could someone be tracking and monitoring them and using the police to deal with them?

The two policemen didn't cause much trouble, following from behind. After leaving the hotel, Luo Zheng saw a police car parked at the doorway, and the police signaled for them to get in. It didn't seem like a scam. Luo Zheng and Lan Xue exchanged a discreet glance and got into the police car. The situation reeked of peculiarity; nothing venture, nothing gain.

The police car quickly drove off, crossed a road, turned a corner, and stopped at the entrance of a police station. After stopping, the policemen gestured for them to get out and head to the station. Seeing the real police station, Luo Zheng was showered with more suspicion; no problem with the police, was someone indeed using them against themselves? What was the intention behind this?

They were taken to an interrogation room, where the police shut the door politely without using any tough measures and said, "At the hotel, someone lost a valuable item, and the owner reported after recognizing you two. We have searched your guest room and found the lost item there. How do you explain this?"

"Could we meet the item owner?" Luo Zheng calmly asked, seeing the setup clearly; saying more was pointless. The best way was to first identify who the owner was to find out what exactly happened.

"To protect the owner, we can't agree to this request." The police refused.

"It's quite simple to resolve; you can ask the owner in detail the time they lost the item and then check surveillance to see if we had the time to commit the crime. Or, you could review the casino monitoring because after we checked into the hotel, we randomly strolled around before heading to the casino, won a little, and then went to the western restaurant until you arrived. It's easy for you to verify these things." Luo Zheng said coldly.

"Don't teach me how to do my job. Until the situation is clarified, you cannot shed the suspect identity, and until then, you'll remain here waiting until the matter is clear." The police said as they got up and walked out, closing the door smoothly.

"The police should be fine; someone wants to keep us in view to frame us, using the police to achieve this, so it seems we've indeed been exposed." Lan Xue suddenly whispered, "Tonight might be crucial, something might happen. We have to find a way to get out."

"Indeed, something might happen tonight, someone is worried we'll discover something, hence using this method to restrain us. It's not easy to leave until the situation is clear, unless revealing our true identity." Luo Zheng said somewhat angrily.

"Not necessarily." Lan Xue said, pulling out her phone and quickly dialing a number. Once connected, she immediately said, "We are being detained at the police station, find a way to get us out quickly. As fast as possible."

After Lan Xue hung up, Luo Zheng curiously asked, "Who did you call?"

"The Headquarters External Liaison Office, which is responsible for support and communication work; only those above team leader level know this number. You have to work hard." Lan Xue explained with a smile.

"No problem, having your contact is enough." Luo Zheng said nonchalantly with a smile.

After waiting for about ten minutes, a middle-aged man in a suit walked in accompanied by the police, politely extending his hand and courteously said, "Hello, I'm the consul assistant stationed here. Can I ask what happened? Is there anything I can help with?"

Seeing the person speaking fluent international language, looking like one of their own, Luo Zheng secretly glanced at Lan Xue. Lan Xue nodded knowingly, and Luo Zheng let out a sigh of relief. Though not knowing how Lan Xue confirmed the person's identity, he passionately gave a simple account of the situation in which they were being framed, finally adding, "We are innocent, and this must be explained reasonably. Additionally, I must meet the item owner."

"The owner cannot be seen anymore." The nearby policeman suddenly interjected upon hearing this and continued seeing Luo Zheng's astonished face, "The surveillance has been investigated, and no opportunity for you two committing the crime was found. But this doesn't mean you don't have motives. I suspect you have accomplices, and your accomplices killed the owner to silence them just ten minutes ago."

"What, the owner is dead?" Luo Zheng was shocked, his face solemn, brows furrowed, sensing a huge conspiracy looming over him.

"Yes, that's why you two temporarily cannot leave the police station." The policeman beside said coldly, looking at Luo Zheng with increased vigilance.

Luo Zheng ignored the policeman and looked at the consul assistant, his gaze firm as he said, "We have been framed and must leave here quickly, do you have any way?"

"I've said it, that's impossible." The policeman coldly said, "Alright, visiting time is up, please follow me outside. Any requests can be processed through normal procedures." Saying this, he started to usher people out.
