Watching Chi Yiyuan and Su Xiaotian walk away hand in hand, Tang Wanru felt furious.
However, in front of Su Manxiu, she couldn't say anything.
She had heard clearly just now that Su Xiaotian was Su Manxiu's niece.
Saying bad things about a niece in front of her aunt, Su Manxiu might immediately turn against her.
Su Manxiu knew Tang Wanru, but they weren't very familiar, so she didn't plan to waste any more time and was about to leave with Chen Xiuyuan.
Seeing that Chi Yiyuan had already left, Tang Wanru found no point in continuing to wander the night market.
"Aunt Su, shall we go back together!"
Su Manxiu looked at Tang Wanru and didn't object.
"Then let's go back together!"
The next morning, Chi Yiyuan rushed to the police station to give his statement.
The events of yesterday needed a conclusion today. Although those people weren't harming him, but were bullying others, it was still a matter of stepping in when one saw injustice.
However, to Chi Yiyuan's surprise, as he walked to the entrance of the police station, the same few people he had apprehended last night were standing there leisurely.
When the group saw Chi Yiyuan, they even made a gesture of snapping their fingers at him.
Chi Yiyuan was initially suspicious, then frowned.
He wasn't very familiar with the people he had apprehended, and he even suspected he might have mistaken them.
But when these people showed malicious expressions upon seeing Chi Yiyuan, he instantly understood that these were indeed the people he had apprehended last night.
How could they be released in just one night, before even giving their statements?
"Kid, you've offended us brothers, you'll pay for it."
Chi Yiyuan ignored them and walked directly into the police station.
Some things could only be understood by going inside.
At the police station, Chi Yiyuan met the two police officers he had encountered last night.
When they saw Chi Yiyuan, the two officers showed a hint of embarrassment.
They had initially thought Chi Yiyuan wouldn't show up, but unexpectedly, he actually came.
"Hello, I am a party involved in the bullying incident last night, and I'm here to give my statement."
As Chi Yiyuan said this, he stared intently at the two officers in front of him.
The two officers' faces became even more awkward.
"I think I saw the people who were openly bullying a female comrade at the night market last night standing at the entrance of the police station just now."
Chi Yiyuan could see that things were definitely not that simple.
But he still asked without hesitation.
The shorter of the two police officers lowered his voice and said, "Comrade, you shouldn't have come today!"
Chi Yiyuan asked, "Why!"
"They are going to accuse you of unprovoked trouble-making and assault!"
The expressions of the two police officers were very grim at this moment.
They hadn't expected things to escalate to this point. They had thought the matter would just pass, but who knew those people could bite back.
Chi Yiyuan said, "There should be many witnesses to what happened last night. Who was provoking trouble and assaulting others without reason will be clear once investigated!"
The two officers looked even more troubled.
If only things were that simple.
Just then, those people followed Chi Yiyuan inside.
"It's this person, he unprovokedly beat us brothers last night. We want to report it and strongly demand that you arrest this menace to society."
One of them spoke, pointing directly at Chi Yiyuan, saying exactly this.
This person was clearly the core of this group.
"There was also a young woman, we want her arrested too," another person quickly added.
Thinking of Su Xiaotian's unparalleled beauty, the man felt his entire being refreshed.
Such a beauty was truly a rare sight.
Seeing the lewd expression on the man's face, Chi Yiyuan wished he could rush forward and punch this lewd fellow.
But this was the police station, and he couldn't hit someone in front of the police.
The two police officers clearly disapproved of the shameless behavior of these people.
But ultimately, they just kept their faces stern and said nothing.
"Yes, we want to report it. Comrades police, you can't just stand by and watch good people like us being bullied."
Seeing that the police hadn't spoken, the others also started to clamor.
Chi Yiyuan felt he had lived long enough. He never expected these people could twist the facts and speak blatant lies. Didn't they feel guilty when they said these words?
Moreover, the expressions of these two police officers clearly indicated they were unwilling to intervene, rather than unable.
This made Chi Yiyuan very confused. What were the identities of these two people?
Thinking back, these two police officers had actually gone to help these people resolve their issues last night.
Had they become shields for evil forces?
At this moment, the two police officers were clearly losing patience.
"Yao Wu, that's enough. You know the situation yourself, don't you?" the taller officer said impatiently.
This Yao Wu was clearly relying on his connections to bully others.
He had never seen anyone like him.
Clearly, the police comrades were extremely impatient at this moment, and their tone of voice had become somewhat unpleasant.
"Since you've been bailed out, you should go home. Why are you running to the police station?" the shorter officer also spoke.
Causing trouble outside repeatedly, they were becoming more and more shameless, even biting back.
Did they really think the police station was their family's property?
However, these people clearly didn't take the police's words to heart.
With Yao Wu around, they weren't afraid of a few small police officers.
As expected, the person called Yao Wu became instantly enraged upon hearing this.
"How dare you speak to me like that? Do you want this job? Believe it or not, if I tell my brother-in-law, you'll be immediately transferred to the most remote place!"
When the two police officers heard this, their expressions changed for a moment.
This wasn't the first time something like this had happened; Yao Wu could indeed do it.
They wanted to be good police officers, but life wouldn't allow it.
"That's right, if you don't want to be involved, say so early. Brother Yao Wu will help you sort it out!"
The people behind Yao Wu immediately spoke up, acting like bullies.
Chi Yiyuan heard the problem from these words.
It seemed this person named Yao Wu had someone backing him.
He just didn't know the identity of this person behind the scenes.
"You..." The shorter police officer was provoked and immediately became enraged.
They could accept them causing trouble repeatedly and being bailed out each time.
But this time, it was truly excessive.
They even planned to lock up someone who stepped in to uphold justice. Who gave him the courage?
The taller police officer, fearing the situation would escalate, quickly pulled the shorter officer.
"We can't afford to offend them, we must suppress our anger!" the taller officer's voice was very low, barely audible to the two of them.
When one is under someone else's roof, one must bow their head. They were just minor police officers, unable to fight against powerful figures.
Who knew Yao Wu's sister was so influential that she could have a son with the deputy director?
Although she hadn't officially married the deputy director yet, it was rumored that the deputy director was preparing to divorce his original wife who hadn't borne him a son.
Yao Wu had become even more arrogant recently because of this matter!
In the end, the shorter police officer didn't dare to say anything more.
"Let's settle this!"
The taller police officer clearly didn't want these people to succeed in framing someone.
But he also didn't have the courage to deal with these truly scummy troublemakers.
When Chi Yiyuan heard this, he felt disappointed after all.
Had society become so chaotic?
He wondered if his uncle knew about this, and if he did, would he be very angry.
"Settle? We suffered a loss, why should we settle?"
It was still the previously arrogant Yao Wu who spoke. This time, he didn't want to hold back.
Every previous time, he hadn't managed to get those who offended him locked up, but this time, he didn't believe his sister, who had just had a son, couldn't handle this matter.
The two police officers looked at Chi Yiyuan with difficulty. It seemed this matter wouldn't be easily resolved, and this young man was going to suffer a loss this time.
This was a situation they were unwilling to see.
"How about you apologize, young man?" the taller police officer tried to communicate with Chi Yiyuan.
He didn't want to see this young man suffer a loss.
Even if they let this young man go today, as long as Yao Wu had him in his sights, he could still find him and have him locked up.
A wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him. Apologizing shouldn't be a problem, right?
"Is this how you uphold fairness and justice? Is this how you serve the people?" Chi Yiyuan said coldly, "You understood the situation at the time, didn't you?"
The two of them certainly understood the specifics of the scene, but the problem now was that even the other parties involved had changed their stories.
Even if they had the intention to protect this young man who fought against evil forces for justice, they were powerless!
"The truth?" Yao Wu burst into laughter.
After he finished laughing, he said, "Let me tell you the truth. The truth is, you wanted to bully two young girls, and we brothers stepped in to help. As a result, you beat us up, and I'm still in pain!"
Chi Yiyuan was stunned. Could there be such a claim?
Without a doubt, Chi Yiyuan was intelligent and instantly understood.
The reason these two police officers were so troubled was likely because they already knew that these people had found the two girls who were the victims, and these two girls, due to various reasons, had agreed to testify falsely.
However, these people probably forgot that there were many people at the scene. Even if most people wouldn't stand for justice, at least a few would choose to come forward, right?
At that time, it wouldn't be too difficult to investigate and clarify the matter.
Chi Yiyuan didn't want to confront them head-on and suffer a loss.
In just a moment, he made up his mind.
"May I use the phone?"
The two police officers clearly hadn't expected Chi Yiyuan to ask to use the phone at this moment.
Yao Wu and the others objected when they heard Chi Yiyuan wanted to use the phone.
However, the two police officers guessed that Chi Yiyuan likely had someone to rely on and was planning to call for help.
They readily agreed to Chi Yiyuan's request.
"The phone is in the office, I'll take you there!" the shorter police officer ignored Yao Wu and the others and led Chi Yiyuan away.
They had already endured enough humiliation, and they couldn't let this kind of thing be used against them!
"Believe it or not, you'll be out of here tomorrow!" Yao Wu was still being overbearing.
The taller police officer calmly ignored Yao Wu's blustering.
Chi Yiyuan quickly hung up the phone.
Yao Wu looked at Chi Yiyuan's calm and fearless demeanor and felt a complete lack of accomplishment.
"I want to make a call too, I want to call my brother-in-law!" Yao Wu immediately stated his demand.
Since they had allowed Chi Yiyuan to make a call, they couldn't refuse Yao Wu's request, lest it become their fault later.
Yao Wu also went to make a call.
Meanwhile, the shorter police officer lowered his voice and said, "Brother Wang, this kid, I suspect he's not simple. I just glanced at the phone number he dialed, and it's likely from the compound!"
This phone number was unfamiliar to him, but he recognized the number range.
Anyone who used this number range was definitely not ordinary!
Upon hearing what the shorter police officer said, the taller police officer finally felt a little relieved.
He had been worried ever since he knew Yao Wu was prepared to make this young man suffer.
Soon, Yao Wu also came out.
Yao Wu didn't know who Chi Yiyuan had called, but after being scolded, he received assurances and was now smug.
"Kid, you're dead. My brother-in-law said people like you deserve to be taught a lesson!"
If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, Chi Yiyuan would have laughed.
He really wanted to know what expression Yao Wu would have when he found out that not only he but also his brother-in-law would be in trouble.
He also wondered if his brother-in-law would regret marrying his sister, this prodigal waste.
"Let's go to the interrogation room to give our statements!" The two police officers exchanged glances and decided to invite this group to sit in the interrogation room.
Looking at the way these two were acting, it seemed the matter would be resolved quickly, but who knew whose phone call would be more effective.
Of course, in this situation, they themselves were actually of little use in the entire affair, merely serving as props!
Chi Yiyuan thought for a moment and agreed.
Even if the matter were to be resolved, it certainly wouldn't be done in a short time.
It would be more comfortable to just sit in the interrogation room and wait for the result.
Hearing Chi Yiyuan agree to go to the interrogation room, Yao Wu, unwilling to be outdone, also agreed.
However, their behavior in the interrogation room was vastly different.
Chi Yiyuan simply and quietly found a stool and sat down.
As for the other people, they were giving orders and making demands, so much so that anyone who didn't know would think they were the leaders of the police station.
The group complained about not being served water, and then complained that the water didn't even have a single tea leaf, making it bland.
A little later, they also complained about there being no fruit.
Those who knew would say they were there for questioning due to provoking trouble, but those who didn't know might have thought they were there for a vacation in the interrogation room.
The two police officers were also speechless, but fortunately, such a situation didn't last long before someone rushed to the police station!
