Chapter 39

Just as the old police officer and others were trembling with fear, unsure whether Qin Lan had come for Xia Yunjie, Wu Yuzhi and the other two saw a glimmer of hope in Qin Lan and hurriedly stood up, saying, "Director Qin, Xia Yunjie is truly innocent. He is a good person. He only acted because he saw us being bullied. Please, you must help him."

Whether Xia Yunjie was a good person, Qin Lan knew better than anyone. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to the district police station in the middle of the night as a city bureau leader.

"Rest assured, the people's police will handle the case fairly," Qin Lan said in a soothing tone to Wu Yuzhi and the other two, then turned to the old police officer and others. As soon as she turned, her face turned cold again.

"Are you all mute? Where are the people?"

"At, at the interrogation room!" the old police officer hurriedly replied.

"Hmph!" Qin Lan coldly snorted and turned to walk towards the interrogation room. As the deputy director of the city police bureau, Qin Lan was well aware that the police officers handling the case had some questionable methods.

Seeing Qin Lan turn to leave, Wu Yuzhi and the other two quickly stood up and followed her. On one hand, they were afraid of being interrogated further by the police if they stayed, so it was safer to follow the female director. On the other hand, they were also worried about Xia Yunjie. When Li Gengyu and Luo Dawei left earlier, they looked extremely vicious, as if they wanted to tear Xia Yunjie apart.

"Hey, you three..." The police officer taking statements saw Wu Yuzhi and the others stand up to follow and quickly called out. Even a fool could tell that the situation was not good, and they needed to "break" these three women to prevent them from "talking nonsense."

"Let them follow me," Qin Lan coldly interrupted before the police officer could finish his sentence.

With the city bureau leader speaking, the junior police officers dared not say no and could only watch as Wu Yuzhi and the others followed Qin Lan out. The old police officer, experienced and shrewd, knew that if the situation wasn't handled well, the district police station would be in trouble. He quickly found Director Luo's phone number and called him.

The district police chief, by rank, is a section-level cadre, but in most cases, the district police chief is a member of the district party committee, so they are usually a deputy department-level cadre. As for the other deputy directors of the district police station, except for the executive deputy director, who is usually a section-level cadre, the rest are generally deputy section-level cadres.

Qin Lan, as the deputy director of the city police bureau, is a genuine deputy department-level cadre. It could be said that in the entire Yunlong District Police Bureau, only Director Luo had the authority to handle the situation, and the other deputy directors were not qualified, especially since this matter involved his precious son.

Leaving aside the old police officer calling Director Luo in the middle of the night, let's focus on Qin Lan, who walked towards the interrogation room with a cold face.

Just as she reached the door of the interrogation room, Qin Lan heard Li Gengyu's shouting. Even as the deputy director of the city police bureau, a beautiful and sexy woman with a cool demeanor, she couldn't help but kick the door open with a heavy foot, her face darkening to the point of almost dripping water.

"Bang!" The door was kicked open with a loud noise.

As soon as the door was kicked open, Qin Lan saw Li Gengyu, with a fierce expression, pointing a gun at Xia Yunjie, who was restrained in a chair. Her eyes immediately flashed with cold light, and she shouted, "Li Gengyu, what are you doing?"

As for the four young men lying on the ground in various positions, Qin Lan didn't have the time to notice them. Her attention and anger were entirely focused on Li Gengyu, who was holding the gun. Wu Yuzhi and the other two, who were following closely behind, also focused on the gun in Li Gengyu's hand, feeling a chill run down their spines and almost bursting into tears.

It was a gun! In their entire lives, they had only seen people pointing guns at each other in TV shows and movies. Today, they saw a real scene, and it was a police officer pointing a gun at their colleague.

A colleague who had been arrested for saving them!

"Who the hell is here... Ah, Director Qin, Director Qin!" Li Gengyu was in a rage, and when he heard someone kick the door open and shout at him, he turned around and started cursing without thinking. However, halfway through his curse, he suddenly realized that the person who kicked the door open was Deputy Director Qin Lan of the city police bureau. His face changed drastically, and cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.

"Director Qin? Do you still recognize me as Director Qin? Do you still recognize the law? Tell me, what are you doing now? What do you have in your hand?" Qin Lan had been a police officer for many years and knew that the police force was large and inevitably had a few bad apples. However, this was the first time she had seen a police officer point a gun at a citizen whose hands and feet were restrained, especially a citizen who had acted bravely and was her benefactor. Despite her repeated warnings to herself to maintain her composure and control her emotions, she couldn't help but roar at Li Gengyu.

Xia Yunjie, sitting in the specially designed interrogation chair, watched Qin Lan roar at Li Gengyu, her ample chest heaving under her shirt as if it might burst out at any moment. He was stunned.

Director Qin? Good heavens, the person I took home that night was actually the police chief? And I even saw her body completely! This is too unbelievable. However, even though her angry face was fierce, it was still beautiful!

"This, this is a gun. I'm sorry, Director Qin, please listen to me. It's my fault. I couldn't control my emotions. This guy was too despicable, not behaving properly in the interrogation room, and even dared to resist the law..." Li Gengyu, not knowing that Qin Lan had come for Xia Yunjie, thought he had just been unlucky and happened to be caught by Director Qin on a routine inspection. He quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stammered an explanation.

As Li Gengyu explained, Qin Lan began to look around. She didn't expect to be so shocked. She thought that the shy and kind young man would have suffered a lot and would be pale and half-dead. However, when she looked at Xia Yunjie, she was almost shocked out of her wits. The shy and kind young man, Xia Yunjie, was sitting calmly in the interrogation chair, curiously observing her, and even had a smile on his lips.

If this already shocked Qin Lan to the point of almost falling out of her eyes, when she saw that Xia Yunjie had four young men lying around him, each in a different position, some holding their arms, some their stomachs, and one with a bloodied chin, she was completely petrified.

From her experience, she could tell that these four people had been taken down by Xia Yunjie, and even the chair he was sitting on had fresh blood on its legs.

How was this possible? A person sitting in an interrogation chair with his hands and feet restrained could take down four young men, no, five! Qin Lan had just noticed that Luo Dawei also had a bloodied chin, a bruised face, and a swollen head, looking even worse than the four young men on the ground.

When Qin Lan was completely stunned, Wu Yuzhi and the other two, who had just entered the interrogation room with tears in their eyes, were also stunned.

They, of course, recognized Luo Dawei and the others, but how was this possible? Before, Luo Dawei was holding a police baton and arrogantly said he would finish off Xia Yunjie. How did it end up with Xia Yunjie sitting calmly in the chair, while they were all in such a miserable state?

However, Qin Lan, being no ordinary person, quickly suppressed her shock and refocused her cold gaze on Li Gengyu, who was still babbling, and coldly interrupted, "Couldn't control your emotions? Great! Captain Li, could you please tell me why these people are in the interrogation room? And what about the police baton wrapped in a towel on the ground? Don't tell me you couldn't control your emotions, so you called them to help with the interrogation? To help beat people with the baton? Or do you think I look stupid and easy to fool?"

Qin Lan's questions made Li Gengyu's forehead sweat, his lips trembling, but he couldn't explain the situation. What made him even more frustrated was that despite causing such a commotion, Xia Yunjie was still sitting intact in the chair, as if they were just clowns sent to entertain him.

"Director Qin, they are just some bar workers. There's no need to take it so seriously!" Luo Dawei, seeing Li Gengyu trembling like a child in front of a female director, was a bit afraid but still spoke up, thinking it was no big deal.

The police bureau has always been a powerful and influential department. Luo Dawei's father, Luo Zhigang, was the police chief and a member of the district party committee in Yunlong District, with deep roots and a strong presence. Luo Dawei, as the only grandson of the Luo family, was always pampered and used his father's power to act arrogantly and lawlessly in Yunlong District. Although he had heard of Qin Lan, he thought she was just another deputy department-level cadre like his father, not someone to be afraid of, though not to be trifled with.

"Shut up! You talk so lightly about a few bar workers. What are you, then? Do you have the right to speak here?" Qin Lan's face darkened as she angrily shouted.

"My father is Luo Zhigang." Luo Dawei, who had never been scolded by a woman so harshly, felt that Qin Lan was not someone to be trifled with, but still stood up defiantly.
