Getting Hauled to the Station!
Chen Mo glanced at the person standing to the side who was clearly eager to try but hesitated to act. However, when no one was paying attention, he kicked one of the thief accomplices lying in front of him hard. Then he glanced at his mother, who was pretending to be nonchalant, and began to doubt whether he had been right to strengthen their physical fitness. Why had his usually gentle mother become so violent?
The Super Soldier Serum can amplify a person's characteristics. Could it be that a gentle and virtuous mother actually harbors violent genes deep down?
Looking at Chen Jingde and the other two standing in the circle of people on the screen, Chen Mo calmly asked J.A.R.V.I.S..
When did this happen?
"The police just received a call and are about to arrive in ten minutes. Should we contact them?"
Chen Mo glanced at the three people on the screen who showed no signs of panic, then smiled and shook his head.
"No need. Just save the video footage of the scene, closely monitor the progress of the incident, and report to me as soon as possible."
"Yes, sir!"
As J.A.R.V.I.S. finished speaking, the screen went dark.
It wasn't that Chen Mo didn't care about them, but he knew they would be alright. If it had happened in a secluded place, it wouldn't have mattered, but with so many people witnessing the whole incident, Chen Mo couldn't possibly cover it up. Moreover, Chen Jingde and his companion had clearly acted bravely. Although they killed the dark-skinned young man, it was done while he was attacking with a knife, so it was undoubtedly self-defense. Now it was up to the police to handle it. Normally, the three of them hadn't broken the law and should be released soon. If the handling was unfair, Chen Mo could simply go and rescue them himself and bring them back to the Castle.
Seeing that the three of them were not panicked, Chen Mo decided to wait and see, treating it as another stop on their journey.
However, after this incident, Chen Mo had no mind to do anything else, so he leaned back on the sofa and thought about the possible developments of this matter and how it would affect his family's life.
Soon, Chen Mo seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly sat up from the sofa, saying in a deep voice.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., play the video again, starting from where you started!"
"Yes, sir!"
As soon as J.A.R.V.I.S. finished speaking, the television began playing the video again of Chen Jingde and his companion fighting against the five thugs.
Chen Mo observed Chen Jingde and his companion's actions, considering the strength they had revealed. Chen Mo also carefully observed the expressions of the surrounding crowd, analyzing their thoughts from their expressions.
When the battle ended, Chen Mo looked at the surprised, shocked, and admiring expressions on the faces of the onlookers, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
"Switch to live footage!"
"Yes, sir!"
As J.A.R.V.I.S. finished speaking, the scene on the screen changed, but it wasn't much different from before, except that the circle of onlookers had shrunk, and there were more people surrounding the perimeter.
The three people in the crowd did not leave. The father, Chen Weiguo, was on his phone, making a call, presumably to the police, and the call had already been connected.
Chen Mo immediately asked J.A.R.V.I.S. to edit a message, which appeared on Chen Weiguo's phone screen after he finished the call.
The strength Chen Jingde and his companion displayed when they attacked was far superior to that of ordinary people. Although top-tier special forces soldiers could also achieve this, it was somewhat strange considering their current age. Therefore, Chen Mo had Chen Weiguo and the other two prepare their statements in advance. If the police didn't ask any questions, that would be fine. But if they discovered any abnormalities in their physical abilities, they would say that they had been practicing their family's martial arts since childhood. As for demonstrations, there was no need for that. Martial arts secrets are not to be revealed to outsiders. In short, it was just a matter of giving a plausible explanation.
In the video, Chen Weiguo is seen putting his phone away after finishing his call, but then he seems to notice something. He glances at the phone discreetly and then puts it back in his pocket, seemingly just checking the time.
Then, while waiting for the police to arrive, Chen Weiguo casually whispered a few words to Chen Jingde and his wife Chen Jingde Zhang Huilan, who listened quietly without showing any emotion.
Seeing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh. These three would really be good at being underground party members if they lived in the Republic of China era.
A few minutes later, the police finally arrived. They were all surprised to see Chen Jingde and the other two standing in the middle of the crowd. They were the ones who killed one of the assailants and knocked down the rest.
Looking at the lifeless, thin, dark-skinned young man on the ground, the four people groaning incessantly, and the several weapons scattered on the ground, and then at the two elderly people who were old enough to be their grandfather and father, they still found it hard to connect the two brave "heroes" who had intervened in the emergency call with the two people in front of them.
Shouldn't they be two veterans or Sanda enthusiasts? They could even accept two Shaolin Temple masters. What's going on with these two elderly people who should be retired and enjoying their retirement at home?
Regardless, after clarifying the situation, they still "invited" the three to the police station. After all, it was murder, and even if they were over eighty years old, they had to be investigated and interrogated. Ultimately, the handling of the case had to be in accordance with the law.
Of course, they had already grasped the basic facts of the matter, and the witness statements and videos at the scene explained the situation at the time. Therefore, they did not treat Chen Jingde as an ordinary murderer. They did not even handcuff him. In addition, given Chen Jingde's age, he received relatively good treatment at the police station.
However, since he had committed murder, he could not be allowed to leave until the investigation was completed. Chen Weiguo and Zhang Huilan were allowed to leave temporarily after giving their statements, but they still had to be prepared to cooperate with the investigation at any time.
Chen Weiguo wasn't too worried about his father. The old man had killed far more people than he had. Although this wasn't on the battlefield, the principle was still the same: if the other side wanted to kill me, couldn't I fight back?
Therefore, the mental fortitude of people who have been on the battlefield is different from that of ordinary people. If an ordinary person were in this situation, they would have panicked long ago, because that would be murder! But Chen Jingde and Chen Weiguo were able to face it calmly.
Chen Weiguo had a clear understanding of the situation. They had done nothing wrong and believed that the country would give them a fair and satisfactory result. Therefore, Chen Weiguo was not worried about his father's safety. As for the poor conditions in the police station? He was even stronger than him. He could sleep on the floor without catching a cold. Why should he worry about that?
So Chen Weiguo led his wife out of the police station and went straight to a hotel across the street, where they slept soundly.
