Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

"What are you laughing at?" Wang Dali, who was about to slam the table again, struck a bizarre pose.

Eric glanced at the blushing Wang Dali and said calmly, "I'm laughing because you haven't even found the real cause of the waiter's death, yet you dare to interrogate me like this!"

"The real cause of death? Hmph…" Wang Dali withdrew his empty hand, glaring, "So many people saw you kick the waiter to death, and you're still trying to argue?"

"Tsk, those people only saw me kick him, who saw me kick him to death?" Eric paused slightly, realizing his statement wasn't entirely accurate since he did kick a "dead man."

Seeing Eric lost in thought, Wang Dali laughed, "What's the matter? Can't you even explain it yourself?"

Eric shot him a glance and said, "That guy exploded from the inside out on his own…" Your journey continues with empire

"Tsk, who knows if that's some special characteristic of your martial arts?"

"Is there really such martial arts?"

"Of course! The North Star Fist can inject inner strength into the body and then explode from the inside out, isn't that a magical technique?"

At this moment, Eric truly felt that the magic of martial arts was no less than that of magic!

For the first time, he had the desire to learn martial arts!

While fantasizing about mastering the North Star Fist, Wang Dali suddenly remembered he was supposed to be interrogating a suspect, not chatting with a friend.

He immediately adjusted his attitude and asked, "Kid, I'm asking you a question! Quickly, do you know the North Star Fist?"

Seeing the greedy look in Wang Dali's eyes, Eric sighed, "Didn't you check when I arrived? I don't have any internal energy at all! Is that North Star Fist practiced without internal energy?"

Wang Dali was momentarily stunned, clearly remembering this detail.

"Is it really not you?"

Eric nodded firmly, "That waiter's death has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

"... Repeat the details of the incident once more!"

After Eric spun a long, fabricated tale, Wang Dali was left with a headache, unable to ask more.

After consulting with the branch chief, Eric was temporarily detained.

Originally, with the influence of Tang Dad and Director Jiang, Eric should have been released directly. However, the face of the National Security Bureau's Shanghai branch was seriously damaged this time, and they didn't want to let any suspect go.

For this reason, Eric was detained to await the final results of the autopsy report.

A regular full autopsy only takes a few hours, but for such "exceptional" cases, it's much more complicated, generally taking twenty to thirty hours.

In other words, Eric had to stay under the National Security Bureau's watch for at least twenty hours!

However, the National Security Bureau couldn't detain Eric in an ordinary cell, given the face owed to Tang Dad and Director Jiang.

Forty minutes later, after handing over all communication devices to the guard, Eric moved into the specially prepared detention room.

Luxurious, that was Eric's first impression of the detention room.

To be precise, it shouldn't be called a "detention room"; it was a separate villa in a wealthy residential area that had been isolated.

It was just past eleven o'clock at night, and a young man with a bored expression was sitting in the communal living room watching TV.

"Oh, a new guy?" The young man's expression brightened as he saw Eric enter, getting up to greet him.

But upon seeing Eric's appearance clearly, the young man stopped, his mouth agape, his barely handsome face full of disbelief.

Eric glanced at him indifferently, sat on the sofa, picked up the remote, and started flipping channels to find something interesting.

The young man didn't seem to mind Eric's indifference and automatically sat down next to him, staring intently at Eric.

Even someone as indifferent as Eric was unaccustomed to being stared at so intensely by a man. He turned and glared back, saying coldly, "What do you want?"

Seeing Eric's full face, the young man's eyes flashed with joy. He quickly pulled out a mirror from his pocket, holding it up in front of his face, and muttered, "Hold that pose, don't move…"

Eric did maintain his direct gaze, not because he was following the young man's command, but because he had developed a slight interest in him.

You should know, because of his rude stare earlier, Eric had sent a mental wave his way when he turned his head, intending to give him a headache.

Unexpectedly, the young man seemed completely unfazed, as if he hadn't noticed anything at all.

This piqued Eric's curiosity. Was there really someone here who could be immune to his mental powers?

Without hesitation, Eric used the "Eye of Truth."

Sure enough, the young man possessed inner strength, and it was quite formidable. He had reached the peak of the post-heaven stage, just a step away from the pre-heaven stage!

Hmm, what's this…? The jade pendant on his waist was remarkably similar to the one I made; it can defend against direct mental attacks. It seems the mental wave I sent earlier was absorbed by this jade pendant!

After this observation, Eric was slightly surprised. To have such inner strength and this kind of accessory, this seemingly random young man was indeed not simple!

At this moment, the "not simple" young man's eyes were moving back and forth between the mirror and Eric's face.

Eric watched him coldly, curious about what he was up to.

After a while, the young man finally let out a long breath, smiling brightly, "No matter how you look at it, I'm still more handsome!"

Eric couldn't help but roll his eyes dramatically. There were actually people this narcissistic!

Eric didn't bother with him and focused on watching his favorite TV show.

However, the young man found Eric far more interesting than any TV show.

He nudged Eric with his elbow and asked, "Buddy, if you're here, you must have some connections, right?"

"What do you mean?" Eric didn't want to engage with him initially, but he was curious about this "luxurious" detention room.

"You don't know?" The young man looked exaggeratedly surprised, "This place is specially designed to temporarily hold privileged individuals like us."

"Privileged individuals?"

Seeing that Eric wasn't pretending, the young man quickly explained, "As the top economic powerhouse and an international metropolis in mainland China, Shanghai has countless people with power and influence. When these people need to be temporarily detained, they are brought here. Then, depending on the investigation and evidence, they either go home or to prison!"

"Temporary detention?"

"Yes. Basically, we're just under house arrest here. Once the evidence collection is complete, we go wherever we need to go. Generally, this waiting period doesn't exceed a week!"
