As soon as the police appeared, the crowd had already gathered around, whispering to each other about whether Yang Chen was in trouble.
"Um...that's me," Yang Chen lifted his head in confusion, not understanding why the police were looking for him. Could it be that the domestic authorities had discovered him? No, that couldn't be right. If that were the case, they would have sent a special forces team and it would have been a nighttime surprise attack. How could it be three small civilian police officers?
The police officer showed his identification and said coldly, "I'm Captain Feng Biao of the West District Police Station. Someone has accused you of fighting and murdering a teenager. We need you to come with us to the station to assist with the investigation!"
So that was it...Yang Chen suddenly realized that it was the twisted mind of Chen Feng, who had been beaten and ran away, that had prompted the underworld to seek the help of the police!
Old Li, who was standing nearby, was anxious and quickly stepped forward to explain, "Comrade police officers, you've got the wrong person! It was Chen Feng and a group of thugs who were collecting protection money. Yang Chen was just defending himself!"
"Hmph, whether we've got the wrong person or not, we will investigate and find out! I only saw Chen's son vomiting blood after being beaten, I didn't see this guy being injured!" Feng Biao said, waving his hand and letting two police officers step forward to handcuff Yang Chen.
Yang Chen didn't resist, and after being handcuffed, he let out a sigh and said to Old Li, "Don't worry, I haven't done anything wrong, it's okay. Can you look after my lamb skewer stall? If I don't come back tonight, can you push it back to my house for me?"
"Don't talk nonsense, go quickly!" Feng Biao said sternly.
Old Li wanted to say something else, but he knew he couldn't be of any help, so he sighed and watched as Yang Chen was taken away by the police.
It wasn't until Feng Biao and the others had taken Yang Chen away that the surrounding market vendors began to curse loudly, saying things like "the police and the underworld are in cahoots" and "they're all in cahoots". However, these words were not dared to be said in front of the police.
As Yang Chen was being led into the police station, he was immediately brought into the interrogation room. In this extremely serious room, Yang Chen looked around curiously. To be honest, he had been to the police station many times before, but it was his first time entering as a prisoner.
After greeting two burly police officers, Feng Biao sneered a few times and said, "You look so relaxed, still looking around this room. I'll come back and see if you still have the mood for it later." With that, he slammed the iron door shut and left.
Yang Chen sat down indifferently and calmly looked at the two police officers who were also sitting down, staring at him like prey.
A police officer with a big beard began to question him, "What is your name?"
"Yang Chen."
"Gender?"
"Male..." Yang Chen answered cooperatively, smiling.
"Age?"
"24."
"Birthplace?"
"Zhonghai."
After a series of simple and annoying questions, Yang Chen still answered calmly and smoothly, even if the questions were foolish. The two police officers were getting annoyed, as they had been given orders by Feng Biao to find an excuse to punish Yang Chen. Now that Yang Chen was cooperating so well, he was more like a model suspect than a criminal. How could they find a reason to give him a hard time?
Finally, another dark-skinned police officer came up with an idea and asked, "Today, you beat up six teenagers in the market. Is this true?"
"It wasn't me who beat them up. They wanted to extort protection money from me. They were the ones who started it, and I have the right to defend myself," Yang Chen replied.
"I don't know if they extorted protection money from you, but you were the one who started the fight, right?" the big-bearded police officer asked with a smirk.
"Yes..." Yang Chen nodded truthfully. "But I don't think the blame is on me. If necessary, I can go to court with them."
"Going to court... as a lamb skewer seller..." The dark-skinned police officer muttered disdainfully, pulling out a document and pointing to the signature line. "Write your name here, admitting guilt, and compensating the victims accordingly."
Yang Chen glanced over and saw a confession letter that had already been prepared, listing various charges that could land him in jail for half a lifetime! Yang Chen's expression turned playful and he sneered, "Officer, I don't think this thing is legal... I didn't even say anything, how did so many charges suddenly appear?"
The stern-faced police officer slammed the table, "Are you questioning us and accusing us of framing you!? Do you know where you are right now!?"
"I'm just telling the truth." Yang Chen understood that these two were determined to make him commit a crime. Unconsciously, a hint of icy breath appeared in his eyes.
The two police officers knew that Yang Chen wouldn't sign the document. Only a fool who couldn't read would willingly put himself in jail for no reason. There was only one reason for using this document - to provoke Yang Chen! Obviously, they succeeded.
"Kid, you're not cooperating with our investigation. Do you know what the consequences are!?" The bearded officer stood up and walked slowly behind Yang Chen, clenching his fists with a cracking sound.
Yang Chen glanced at the surveillance cameras in the room. The footage inside would show only him defying the police. The events that followed would not be known to anyone outside, and even if they were, no one in the police station would easily leak information.
It seems that there are police officers like this everywhere in the world...
"I don't know what consequences I'll face, but you two will definitely face consequences you never thought of..." Yang Chen seemed to casually turn his head and gave a toothy smile to the bearded police officer.
"You're asking for it!"
Seeing that Yang Chen had finally said something provocative, the bearded officer reached out to grab Yang Chen's collar, while the other hand clenched his fist, ready to strike!
But in that instant, the bearded officer's hand only grabbed empty air. Yang Chen had already stood up from his seat, reached out, and grabbed the bearded officer's collar!
Yang Chen smirked, "So you want to do this..." and punched the big-bearded man in the stomach with a hook punch!
The big-bearded man convulsed and curled up, twitching as he fell to the ground.
The black-faced police officer stood up in fury, "How dare you assault a police officer!" He drew his gun from his waist without hesitation, aiming at Yang Chen!
But Yang Chen ignored the black hole of the gun barrel and moved like lightning with a single step, instantly appearing behind the black-faced police officer. He lightly tapped the officer's arm with his finger, causing it to tremble violently as if it had been electrocuted, and the officer's gun fell to the ground immediately.
The black-faced police officer was caught off guard and felt a sudden numbness in the back of his neck, then he passed out completely.
Yang Chen picked up the illegal documents from the table and smiled mysteriously, "It seems like you guys use these tricks quite often. I wonder what the consequences would be if they were leaked."
