As soon as the police appeared, the surrounding residents gathered around, whispering to each other whether Yang Chen was about to be in trouble.
"Hmm...it's me." Yang Chen looked up in confusion, confused as to why the police were looking for him. Could it be that the domestic authorities had discovered him? No, that wasn't right. If that were the case, they would have sent a classified special forces unit, and they would have raided at night. Why would it be just three young policemen?
The officer flashed his ID and said with a hint of arrogance, "I'm Captain Feng Biao of the West District Police Station. You've been accused of fighting and murdering a teenager. You need to be brought back to the station immediately to assist in the investigation!"
So that's what was going on... Yang Chen suddenly realized. It seemed that Chen Feng, who had been beaten away, had some evil intentions. The underworld had actually called the police in to handle the case!
Old Li, standing nearby, became anxious and quickly stepped forward to explain, "Officer, you've arrested the wrong person! That was Chen Feng and a few thugs out here collecting protection money. Yang Chen was just protecting himself!"
"Hmph, we'll naturally investigate whether we've arrested the wrong person! I only saw Boss Chen's son being beaten to the point of vomiting blood, but I didn't see this guy being hurt at all!" Feng Biao said, ignoring Old Li and waving his hand for two police officers to step forward and arrest Yang Chen.
Yang Chen didn't resist. After being handcuffed, he simply sighed softly and said to Old Li, "Don't worry, I've done nothing wrong. It's nothing serious. Please keep an eye on my mutton stall for me. If I'm not back by the end of the day, help me push the car back home."
"Stop talking nonsense, get out of here!" Feng Biao snapped.
Old Li wanted to say something more, but he knew he couldn't help much, so he could only sigh bitterly as Yang Chen was taken into the police car. After Feng Biao and the others took Yang Chen away, the surrounding citizens and vendors began to curse loudly, alleging things like "the police and the gang leaders are in cahoots" and "officials and gangsters are one family." However, they didn't dare say these words in front of the police.
After being led into the police station, Yang Chen was immediately dragged into the interrogation room. In this extremely solemn room, Yang Chen looked around curiously. To be honest, he had been to the police station many times before, but this was his first time entering as a criminal.
After Feng Biao ushered two sturdy police officers into the room, he snorted and sneered, "You look so relaxed, and you still have time to look around this room. I'll come back to check on you later and see if you're still in the mood." With that, he slammed the iron door shut and walked out.
Yang Chen sat down nonchalantly, calmly observing the two police officers who were also seated before him. They were gazing at him with the same eager gaze as if they were prey. A bearded police officer began questioning, "Name?"
"Yang Chen."
"Gender."
"Male..." Yang Chen answered cooperatively, a smile on his face.
"Age?"
"24."
"Place of Origin?"
"Zhonghai."
...
After a series of simple yet irritating questions, Yang Chen remained calm and composed, answering even the most idiotic questions with a cheerful air. This only made the two police officers a bit annoyed. After all, they had received Feng Biao's instructions to find a reason to punish Yang Chen. Now that Yang Chen was so cooperative, he was worthy of being a role model for the suspect. Why would they find a reason to give him a hard time?
Finally, another dark-skinned police officer came up with an idea and asked, "You beat up six teenagers at the vegetable market today. Is that true?"
"I didn't beat them up. They wanted to collect protection money from me. They were blackmailing me first, and I have the right to protect myself," Yang Chen replied. "I don't know if they collected protection money from you, but you were the first to attack, weren't you?" the bearded policeman asked with a smirk.
"Yes..." Yang Chen nodded truthfully, "But I don't think the fault lies with me. Worst case, I can sue them."
"Suiting... a kebab vendor..." The sullen-faced policeman muttered disdainfully, pulling out a document and pointing to the signature column, "Write your name here to indicate your confession and to compensate the victim."
Yang Chen glanced at it and saw it was a long-prepared confession. The charges combined were enough to land him in prison for half a lifetime! Yang Chen's expression grew amused, and he sneered, "Officer, I don't think this document is legal... I haven't even mentioned it yet, how come so many charges have suddenly been added?"
The sullen-faced policeman slammed the table, "You're questioning us now, thinking we've framed you!? Do you even know where you are now!?"
"I'm just telling the truth." Yang Chen knew in his heart that these two men were determined to get him into trouble, and a hint of icy coldness flashed in his eyes.
The two policemen naturally knew that Yang Chen wouldn't sign this document. Any normal person who could read wouldn't go to jail for most of their life for no reason. They had only one reason for using this document—to provoke Yang Chen! And clearly, they had done it.
"Boy, you're not cooperating with our investigation. Do you know the consequences!?" The bearded man stood up and slowly walked behind Yang Chen, his fists clenched until bones crackled. Yang Chen glanced at the surveillance camera in the room. He estimated that the footage only showed him arguing with the police. What happened next would be completely unknown to outsiders. Even if they did, who would easily spread the news of what happened inside the police station?
It seemed that this kind of police officer was everywhere in the world...
"I don't know what the consequences will be for me, but you two will definitely face consequences you never imagined..." Yang Chen turned his head nonchalantly and grinned at the bearded policeman.
"You're courting death!"
Seeing that Yang Chen had finally spoken something offensive, the bearded policeman suddenly reached out to grab Yang Chen's collar, his other hand clenched into a fist, ready to strike down!
But at that moment, the bearded man's hand missed. Yang Chen had unknowingly stood up from his seat and reached out to grab the bearded man's collar!
"You were planning to do this..." Yang Chen smirked, and then he hooked a fist into the bearded man's stomach!
The bearded man's entire body convulsed, and he curled up and fell to the ground, twitching!
The sullen-faced police officer stood up angrily, "How dare you attack a police officer!" Without a second thought, he pulled out a Type 54 pistol from his waistband and aimed it at Yang Chen!
But Yang Chen ignored the black muzzle of the gun. With a lightning-fast movement, he instantly moved behind the sullen-faced police officer. His finger lightly tapped the sullen-faced police officer's arm, and the arm trembled violently as if it had been electrocuted. The Type 54 pistol in his hand immediately fell to the ground!
The sullen-faced police officer didn't even react before he felt a numbness in the back of his neck, and then he fainted...
Yang Chen picked up the illegal document from the table and said with a strange smile, "It seems like you guys use this tactic often. I wonder what would happen if it got leaked."
