Law Enforcement Has Warmth, but Batons Have Force

After leaving Yuexin Restaurant, Lin Qiang followed Jiang Che's instructions and drove a Maybach straight toward Linjiang City First People's Hospital with the three injured bodyguards.

At that moment, Chengxi Branch, detention room.

"Name?"

"Xiao Chen."

"Age?"

"Twenty-four..."

"Gender?"

"Male..."

"Place of origin?"

"Local to Linjiang City. I'm an orphan and grew up in the Orphanage..."

Xiao Chen answered the officer's questions honestly.

Though he harbored plenty of dissatisfaction, he did not dare reveal it at this moment.

After all, his identity simply could not withstand scrutiny.

This little brawl was nothing serious. But if these cops followed the clues and uncovered his identity as the commander of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group, then he truly would never get out for the rest of his life.

"Tell me, why did you deliberately injure someone?"

"What was your motive?"

Wang Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing Xiao Chen before him.

Just now, Lingxiao Capital's lawyer had already come by, carrying three injury assessment reports.

The reports showed that the three black-clad bodyguards Xiao Chen had beaten all had multiple fractures, each classified as Level Two serious injuries.

With this evidence, sending Xiao Chen away would be effortless.

"I didn't deliberately hurt anyone. They insulted me first!"

"Besides, I held back my strength. There's no way I could have injured them!"

Xiao Chen spoke with absolute conviction, every word firm and forceful.

He might not have much of a brain, but he was not a complete brute.

How could he possibly have truly beaten those three guys half to death in public?

"No deliberate injury?"

"Take a good look at this!"

Wang Mu sneered and flung the three injury assessment reports directly at Xiao Chen's face.

Xiao Chen took a closer look, and fury instantly surged from his heart. He was nearly angered into passing out!

For fuck's sake, Level Two serious injuries?

Could using thirty percent of his strength really have beaten mid-Bright Force martial artists into such a state?

Since when had he become this powerful?

"Framed! This is blatant framing!"

"Slander! They're slandering me!"

"I want to request a lawyer!"

Xiao Chen shouted loudly, his face and neck flushed red with rage. He actually broke free of the handcuffs and rose from his chair.

Seeing this, Wang Mu's gaze sharpened as he instantly realized the severity of the situation.

Given his line of work, he naturally knew martial artists existed, though he rarely encountered them.

Martial artists who broke the law naturally had to bear legal responsibility as well.

However, ordinary methods could not restrain these martial artists at all, so the police had long established a mature system specifically for dealing with them.

Wang Mu calmly took several steps back and left the room.

Yet Xiao Chen still had not realized the seriousness of the matter and continued shouting.

When Wang Mu returned, he brought two more officers with him. He then quietly turned off the body camera and gave the men beside him a meaningful look.

The three exchanged glances, then simultaneously swung their 100,000 Volts electric batons and rained blows down on Xiao Chen.

"Ah!"

In an instant, Xiao Chen's incomparably miserable screams echoed through the interrogation room, only to quickly fall silent.

After moving Xiao Chen to another interrogation room specially designed to detain martial artists, Wang Mu slapped him several times, and Xiao Chen soon regained consciousness in a daze.

Xiao Chen looked utterly miserable. His hair was scorched black, each strand standing on end. His face was as black as charcoal, and his eyes were bloodshot, making him look especially terrifying.

"Kid, are you willing to confess honestly now?"

"Don't think we can't handle you just because you're a martial artist!"

Wang Mu sneered and raised the electric baton in his hand.

Though they were merely ordinary people without any cultivation, with specially made 100,000 Volts electric batons in hand, they were not afraid of Xiao Chen at all.

This was the police station. If Xiao Chen truly dared to cause trouble, they had plenty of ways to subdue him.

"I... I'll talk..."

Xiao Chen was genuinely afraid. These shameless bastards had used 100,000 Volts electric batons on him without saying a word. Did they think he was made of iron?

Even an iron man could not withstand such treatment!

If they did it a few more times, Xiao Chen truly feared he would die here today.

He could see it now. These people clearly wanted to force a confession out of him through torture.

All he could do now was cooperate honestly, then find an opportunity to contact a lawyer and his connections.

Otherwise, he might truly never walk out of here.

"I'm the bodyguard of Leng Qingqiu, president of Lanzi Group. I secretly followed her because..."

Xiao Chen admitted that he had followed Leng Qingqiu, but he adamantly refused to admit that he had seriously injured those three black-clad men.

It was not as if he knew nothing about the law. He would not take the blame for this.

Once he signed the confession and plea agreement, he would truly be finished.

"Since you don't intend to tell the truth, then reflect on yourself properly in here!"

After collecting Xiao Chen's statement, Wang Mu made as if to leave directly with his two subordinates.

"Wait, I want to make a phone call."

Watching Wang Mu and the others leave, Xiao Chen hurriedly made his request.

"Of course. That's your right."

Wang Mu did not say much and directly returned Xiao Chen's phone to him.

Only after receiving his phone did Xiao Chen finally let out a complete sigh of relief. He dialed a number and made his request.

It should have been an ordinary little matter, yet the person on the other end refused to help Xiao Chen no matter what he said.

He made several calls in a row, but every result was the same. Xiao Chen began to doubt his life.

It was clearly such a small matter. Why were these big shots all avoiding him like the plague?

Could the owner of Lingxiao Capital have an even more astonishing background than he had imagined, so much so that none of his connections dared offend him?

At that moment, Xiao Chen finally realized the severity of the situation, and fear welled up inside him.

If he were really sent away like this, he would never get out for the rest of his life.

"I... I want to settle with the other party."

Taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down, Xiao Chen spoke in a low voice.

At this point, no one was willing to bail him out, so all he could do was accept his loss.

Ask Leng Qingqiu to step in and bail him out?

It was not as if Xiao Chen had not considered it, but when he called her just now, he discovered that Leng Qingqiu had long since blocked him.

As for other friends?

He had only been back in the country for seven days. During that time, he had been constantly circling around Leng Qingqiu at Lanzi Group. He had not even returned to the Orphanage once, so where would he find any other friends?

"That's possible. The other party demands one billion in medical compensation."

"If you can accept that, this matter can be settled privately."

"How much?"

"One billion!"

"Why doesn't he just rob a bank!"

Xiao Chen's eyes widened when he heard that, and his voice shot up. He completely lost control.

Fuck, even if he had beaten up the king himself, there was no way the medical compensation would be one billion!

Besides, Jiang Che was clearly extorting him, yet these people were not doing anything about it?

Government-business collusion. This was absolutely government-business collusion!
