Wrongfully accused

"Brother Tou!" the crew-cut youth called out when he saw the newcomer.

Brother Tou?... Shen Heng paused slightly, his gaze lingering on the newcomer's face. He had originally thought he would have to find him later, but unexpectedly, the man had come out on his own.

"Yeah, don't worry, they can't escape!"

The bald thug nodded to the crew-cut youth, then looked at Shen Heng again.

"I'm telling you, I've recorded everything on video, none of you are getting away!"

"Even if you want to run, it's no use. I know your school. If you dare to run, I'll have the police come and arrest you!"

Hearing the bald thug mention calling the police and finding the school, Yan Sheng panicked.

He turned his head and glanced at the six people still lying on the ground behind him. If he had called the police when he was beaten up, it would have been fine, but now... if he were really arrested and investigated, he would probably have to pay more than the two thousand that the crew-cut youth had mentioned.

Thinking of this, Yan Sheng suddenly became anxious and quickly turned to look at Shen Heng.

"Brother Heng, what... what should we do?"

Shen Heng didn't reply; he was speechless at the situation before him.

Have thugs these days become skilled in both martial arts and legal matters? If they can't beat someone, they start using the law to protect themselves.

"You called the police, didn't you?" Shen Heng looked up and stared directly at the bald thug.

"Of course!" the bald thug puffed out his chest. "I'm telling you, the police are on their way, so don't even think about running!"

"Don't worry, I won't run away!" Shen Heng smiled. He had never heard of someone attacking a public official and then daring to call the police.

"You're smart to know what's good for you!"

The bald man muttered something under his breath and continued walking into the alley, seemingly trying to bypass Shen Heng and reach the group of thugs lying inside.

Throughout the incident, his phone camera was constantly pointed at Shen Heng, as if to preserve evidence should Shen Heng rush up and attack him.

Shen Heng didn't pay any attention to this, calmly watching him walk past him and to the group of people.

The bald thug squatted down beside the group and spoke softly in a low voice.

She spoke very softly, seemingly to avoid Shen Heng hearing it, but unfortunately, her words still reached Shen Heng's ears.

"Don't get up, all of you stay on the ground. When the police arrive, they'll have to help you up!"

"This kid's too good. We're definitely not going to complete our mission. We'll just have to extort some money from him later!"

"Also, don't say we're here to cause them trouble. Just say it's Da Mao Mao's clothes that were..."

"..."

Shen Heng glanced at the group silently, ignored them, and stood still, waiting quietly for the police.

"Brother Heng, what if the police come?" Yan Sheng asked worriedly from the side. If they really got arrested, he didn't know how he would explain it to his family!

"Don't worry, I'm the one who hit him. I'll take responsibility if anything happens. You were the one who got hit. When the police come, you might even get some compensation from them!" Shen Heng said with a smile to Yan Sheng.

"No, that's not what I meant!" Yan Sheng said anxiously.

Shen Heng smiled. "I know what you mean, but don't worry, I'll be fine."

Seeing Shen Heng's calm expression, Yan Sheng, though still somewhat worried, could only take a deep breath and try to calm himself down.

Everyone waited quietly in place.

Before long, a police car pulled up outside the alleyway.

Two police officers got out of the police car and walked over.

Upon seeing the police arrive, the bald thug's eyes lit up. Now he was no longer afraid of Shen Heng and walked straight past Shen Heng toward the two police officers.

"Officer, it was me who called the police! It was me who called the police!"

"You called the police?" One of the officers, who looked less experienced, glanced up at him, then looked past him into the alley, taking a quick look at the scene inside.

"Yes, yes!" the bald thug nodded repeatedly.

"What's the situation now?" the policeman asked.

The bald thug raised his hand and pointed at Shen Heng and Yan Sheng, saying righteously:

"These two... no, there was also one of their friends. They ran away first, and the three of them dirtied my friend's clothes, refused to pay for them, and then they even beat us up!"

The policeman looked at Shen Heng and Yan Sheng, "Those two..."

"Three, and one got away!" the bald thug corrected.

"Okay, three!"

The policeman nodded, then looked back into the alley, nodding his head as if counting something.

After a moment, he glanced at Shen Heng and Yan Sheng, focusing his gaze on the dust on Yan Sheng's clothes, before turning his attention back to the bald thug.

"So you mean those three students started the trouble? And then beat up the seven of you, no, the six adults?"

"Yes, yes!" the bald thug nodded repeatedly.

"Are you kidding me? Don't I know you guys? I think you should be the ones beating them up!" the officer shouted sternly.

"Innocent! Your Honor, I have been wronged!"

The bald thug shouted,

"We... no, my friends were really beaten down by them, but not by the three of them, it was by that kid!"

The bald thug pointed a finger at Shen Heng and said viciously:

"That tall kid, see him? Don't let his size fool you, he's got some serious skills. He took down all my friends by himself!"

During this time, he kept raising his eyebrows in Shen Heng's direction, as if he were showing off.

Seeing that the bald thug was speaking with such conviction, another police officer who had come with him glanced at Shen Heng with some boredom.

However, that one glance made his gaze suddenly freeze. He immediately raised his head and carefully looked at Shen Heng's face.

"You..."

Just as the less experienced officer was about to say something, he was interrupted by the officer next to him.

"This is a little different; I'll handle it!"

After saying that, the police officer walked straight towards Shen Heng, amidst the surprised gazes of the bald thug and the less experienced officer.

He stopped about a meter away from Shen Heng, raised his hand, and then stopped halfway through making a military salute, instead offering a handshake in invitation.

"Hello, Comrade Shen Heng!"

In the distance, the bald thug watched this scene, his heart pounding in his chest.

Oh no, something seems off about this guy. Wasn't he supposed to be just an ordinary student from an ordinary family?

No, that's not right! We live in a society governed by the rule of law. So what if he has connections? He assaulted someone, that's a fact, and even if he has connections, it doesn't matter!

Thinking of this, the bald thug's heart immediately calmed down.

Yes, that's right. Even if he has connections, it's useless. This is a society governed by the rule of law!

At worst... at worst, we won't have to pay any compensation!

However, what he didn't know was that Shen Heng was also looking at the police officer in front of him with some strangeness.

Uh... who are you?

The police officer glanced at Yan Sheng next to Shen Heng and said:

"My name is Xu Kai. We've met before, by a sewer, do you remember?"

After hearing what the person in front of him said, Shen Heng tried hard to recall, and it seemed that there was indeed such a person near the seal on the sewer side.

"Oh, hello! I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you. It was a bit dark, so I couldn't see you clearly!"
