Lin Hao was being followed. Although the person was caught, Liu Bingnian interrogated them for a day without finding out who was behind it. Clearly, no coercive methods were used.

In fact, coercive interrogation isn't all that unusual even nowadays.

Since Liu Bingnian didn't resort to force, perhaps someone exerted pressure on him, or possibly bribed him.

When he called today, it was partly to deal with Lin Hao and partly to test his attitude.

However, Lin Hao wasn't a fool. He quickly figured out Liu Bingnian's intentions and voiced his discontent.

Although the police station belongs to the public security system and isn't directly under the jurisdiction of the executive vice county magistrate, as a standing committee member, Lin Hao still held real power.

Thus, upon hearing this, Liu Bingnian felt a sharp unease in his heart and immediately promised, "County Magistrate Lin, rest assured, I will definitely make him talk."

"Director Liu, normally I shouldn't interfere in police affairs, but this matter concerns my personal safety. I hope you understand the implications," Lin Hao said gravely.

"Haha... County Magistrate Lin, it's just a small-time thug. Surely, he wouldn't dare make a move against you?" Director Liu chuckled.

"Director Liu, is that your attitude towards your work?" Lin Hao asked coldly.

Liu Bingnian sensed Lin Hao's displeasure and quickly apologized, "County Magistrate Lin, please don't be upset. I promise to make him talk as soon as possible."

"Director Liu, I'm giving you another twenty-four hours. If you still can't extract anything useful, I'll take it up with Secretary Zhang," Lin Hao said coldly and hung up the phone.

A mere police station director dared to act evasively regarding his affairs. Clearly, it's not that simple.

However, Lin Hao didn't let it slide and issued an ultimatum, hoping Liu Bingnian would do the right thing.

After hanging up, the smile on Liu Bingnian's face faded, revealing a troubled expression.

Someone had specifically come to see him, a big shot from the underworld of Wucheng County, asking him to turn a blind eye and just fool Lin Hao.

But this Vice County Magistrate Lin wasn't so easily fooled, and mishandling it could very well ruin him.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Director Liu was at a loss about what to do.

With no other option, he dialed a number, seeking a solution from the big shot.

On the other side, Lin Hao, after a quick meal, called Li Jia, saying he wanted to see her.

Actually, he had prepared a big red envelope for the beauty, wanting to give it to her early, but since this had to be kept secret, they planned to meet discreetly.

Following the location sent by the beauty, Lin Hao ended up at a bridal photo studio.

As it turned out, Li Jia was busy during the day and could only come at night to try on the wedding dress.

Upon arrival, Lin Hao went straight up to the fitting room on the second floor with his small bag in hand, only to find Liu Tingting, that troublesome woman, there.

"County Magistrate Lin, what brings you here?" Liu Tingting asked in surprise.

"Being colleagues, I naturally have to come see Li Jia since she's getting married. Where is Li Jia?" Lin Hao said as he sat on the sofa.

"She's inside trying on her wedding dress," Liu Tingting indicated the room.

Inside, Li Jia was trying on wedding dresses. Hearing Lin Hao's voice, she called back loudly, "County Magistrate Lin, I'm here. Just give me a minute."

Glancing inside and guessing she was trying on a wedding dress, Lin Hao said with a smile, "No rush, we'll wait for you."

Liu Tingting, with a mischievous smile, leaned in and teased him quietly, "What? You want to see Li Jia in a wedding dress too?"

"..." Lin Hao ignored her and glanced around, noticing no one else on the second floor, and only then gave her a glare.

"Don't worry, this place belongs to a friend of mine. I have the keys to the studio," Liu Tingting said, flashing a set of keys in front of him.

"Is there nobody in this studio?" Lin Hao confirmed.

"Of course nobody, I'm the boss tonight," Liu Tingting boasted proudly.

Knowing there were no others in the studio, Lin Hao felt relieved. After all, if someone saw him with Li Jia and Liu Tingting here, it wouldn't bode well.

Liu Tingting, reading his mind, said with a smile, "County Magistrate Lin, I'll go lock the door, so it'll be safe."

"Lock the door? That's not really a good idea, is it?" Lin Hao said uneasily.

"What's there to fear? Afraid we'll eat you alive?" Liu Tingting teased villainously as she went downstairs to lock the door.

Li Jia was alone inside with the wedding dress, but it seemed putting it on wasn't going all that smoothly.

"Ms. Ting, I can't zip up the dress. Can you help me?" Li Jia called out.

Seeing Liu Tingting head downstairs to lock the door, Lin Hao walked to the room, casually lifted the curtain.

Before him stood Li Jia in a white wedding dress, draped with a filmy white shawl, which exposed her graceful neck and the clear outline of her collarbone, the dress's fabric resembling snowy moonlight flowing gently to the floor.

The waist of the wedding dress was tightly fitted, emphasizing her modestly sized bosom, making it appear tall and firm. The neckline was very low, offering a view of the deep white cleavage and white lace bra inside.

Her long, black hair was tied with a ribbon into a bow, with a single strand hanging down the front perfectly nestled between her bosom, her light makeup enhancing the bride's pure beauty.

"What are you doing here?" Seeing Lin Hao, Li Jia blushed instantly.

"Your Ms. Ting went to lock the door. What's wrong? Can't zip it up?" Lin Hao slowly stepped forward, moving behind her.

Indeed, this wedding dress had a long zipper stretching from the waist to the shoulder blades.

While part of the zipper was already up, it wasn't yet all the way up, no wonder the beauty needed help.

With a pull on the zipper, Lin Hao looked at her snowy back, graceful shoulders, and the lace bra inside, and felt a sudden surge of heat.

Since Li Jia was trying on wedding dresses, the lace bra she wore inside had invisible straps, and once the wedding dress zipper was pulled up, it perfectly concealed the bra underneath. Truly seamless.

Li Jia hadn't expected Lin Hao to walk in and help with the zipper, causing her face to flush crimson, her rosy cheeks tinged with red.

"The zipper is up, how does it feel? A bit tight?" Lin Hao asked casually.

"No, just right," Li Jia replied softly.

"Really? Let me see," Lin Hao grinned mischievously, wrapping his arms around her slender waist from behind.

Li Jia trembled all over, her body slightly leaning backward into his embrace, coyly scolding, "You're so naughty, Lin!"

"Am I bad? I wasn't aware," Lin Hao said as he slid his hands down the neckline of her dress, cupping her soft bosom.

Surprised by the sudden assault, Li Jia tensed up, feeling as though her bosom had landed in the clutches of a devilish grip.
