Chapter 56

Jiang Lingling threw herself into Qin Chuan's arms and burst into tears, "I thought I would never see you again!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Qin Chuan comforted Jiang Lingling, also heaving a sigh of relief. Fortunately, after practicing the basic fitness exercises, his body's agility had greatly improved, and his strength seemed to have increased as well. Otherwise, facing so many people alone would have been quite difficult.

Jiang Lingling's phone kept vibrating. She had set it to vibrate mode out of fear that the criminals would notice. When she took it out, it was full of missed calls.

Seeing that the calls were from her mother, Jiang Lingling quickly answered.

"Daughter, where are you? Are you okay?" Zhou Wanqing, incoherent with worry, was clearly on the verge of tears.

"Mom, I'm fine. I'm with Doctor Qin. Fortunately, Doctor Qin drove the bad guys away. Don't worry," Jiang Lingling said.

"Then come back quickly with Xiao Qin. Don't go to the movies," Zhou Wanqing said.

The police, who arrived quickly, controlled the people Qin Chuan had knocked down, including Yin Abiao. The entire street was under the control of the police. The rat, who had fled on a motorcycle, was also stopped by the police not far away. In fact, the police didn't need to ask; they could tell at a glance who these people were. They usually turned a blind eye because they didn't want to cause trouble for themselves. They would only deal with these people when they needed to increase revenue at the end of the year, and as long as these people paid a certain amount, minor issues would be overlooked. Now, with such a major incident, even the police chief Tian Zhiguo was furious. How could they not take it seriously?

Yin Abiao and his gang had crossed the line, acting so arrogantly in public and even offending the mayor's daughter. They deserved their misfortune. Yin Abiao and his gang were beaten by Qin Chuan to the point of broken leg bones. However, no one would pursue the issue of excessive self-defense because they were armed and attacking in the current environment, and even killing them would not result in legal consequences.

Jiang Yudong and Zhou Wanqing arrived and only relaxed when they saw Jiang Lingling was safe. Qin Chuan was covered in blood. The head of the Public Security Brigade, Liu Shengwei, who didn't know who Qin Chuan was and didn't recognize Jiang Lingling, refused to let Qin Chuan leave and even refused to let him be examined, continuously questioning him.

"The bad guys are over there. He just subdued them. Can you let me check if he is injured first, and then you can question him?" Jiang Lingling asked.

"No. The case is serious, and we cannot let any suspicious person go. You must be questioned here. I suspect this is a serious fight!" Liu Shengwei said.

"How do you talk? It was clearly a gang of motorcyclists who attacked us, and we were defending ourselves," Qin Chuan said.

"Explain your actions properly. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble!" Liu Shengwei said.

"You police are so arrogant! You haven't even investigated the situation, and you're already making accusations. How will you make him suffer if he doesn't confess according to your wishes? Is this how your police department handles cases?" Jiang Yudong stepped in.

Liu Shengwei was about to give this meddler a taste of his power, but when he turned around and saw the mayor of Tanshan City, he was immediately flustered, "Mayor Jiang."

Sweat immediately broke out on Liu Shengwei's forehead, dripping profusely.

Tian Zhiguo also arrived and walked up to Jiang Yudong, "Mayor Jiang, I sent people over as soon as I received your call. I was dealing with the homeowners blocking the Development Zone Management Office in Jiutan. I rushed back as soon as I received the call."

"If I hadn't come, my daughter and her friend would have been arrested by your police as suspects in a fight, and they would have been threatened. I want to ask, is this your police department's procedure?" Jiang Yudong asked sternly.

Tian Zhiguo looked at Liu Shengwei and realized the situation. Liu Shengwei was too tactless. The matter he was personally handling was not so simple, and he even tried to cover up for the motorcyclists at such a time. This guy was really out of his mind.

"Liu Shengwei, you did a great job! You did a great job!" Tian Zhiguo said several times, making Liu Shengwei tremble. He clearly felt Tian Zhiguo's anger and realized that Tian Zhiguo needed someone to take the blame, and he had just offered himself up.

"Chief Tian, I didn't know they were Mayor Jiang's family," Liu Shengwei panicked, completely losing his composure.

"Shut up! Can you act so recklessly with ordinary citizens?" Tian Zhiguo said sternly.

"No, no," Liu Shengwei's defense only made things worse.

"You are suspended pending an investigation by the Party Committee!" Tian Zhiguo decisively decided Liu Shengwei's fate.

Jiang Yudong didn't have the time to deal with Tian Zhiguo's affairs, "Lingling, are you and Xiao Qin hurt?"

"I'm fine. Doctor Qin protected me," Jiang Lingling said.

Qin Chuan shook his head, "I'm fine. The blood on me isn't mine."

"That won't do. We need to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. What if you are injured? Chief Tian, what do you think?" Jiang Yudong asked.

"Of course, we should check for injuries first. I will go to the hospital later to understand the situation. There were indeed serious problems in the handling of this incident by our police department," Tian Zhiguo said, characterizing Liu Shengwei's behavior. By characterizing the incident in front of Jiang Yudong, it would be difficult for Liu Shengwei to turn things around, especially since Tian Zhiguo was determined to make him take the blame.

"Alright, Xiao Qin, get in my car with Lingling. I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up," Jiang Yudong said.

Zhou Wanqing was checking her daughter for any injuries, and after several checks, she finally relaxed. Seeing Qin Chuan covered in blood, she was both scared and heartbroken.

"Xiao Qin, are you hurt anywhere?" Zhou Wanqing asked with concern. After this incident, she was even more satisfied with Qin Chuan. A boy who would risk his life to protect a woman was reliable.

"Really, I'm fine. I was afraid those people would hurt Lingling, so I hit them a bit harder, and the blood got on me," Qin Chuan said the truth in the car.

"Whatever anyone asks, tell them those people threatened your and Lingling's lives with knives, and you were defending yourselves. You won't be held legally responsible," Zhou Wanqing, a law professor and famous lawyer, knew that some things could be complicated if they escalated. However, the actual situation was very favorable for Qin Chuan. The people were armed and attacking in the street. But Zhou Wanqing thought even further ahead.

"My mom is a famous lawyer and a law professor. You can trust her," Jiang Lingling said with a smile.

Qin Chuan nodded, "Thank you, Aunt. I know what to say."

"Still, go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. If you are injured, it will be troublesome," Jiang Yudong said.

Jiang Yudong had the driver take Qin Chuan and Jiang Lingling to the central hospital.

Gao Zhanting was shocked when she saw Qin Chuan covered in blood, "Xiao Chuan, what happened? Are you hurt?"

"No, I'm not hurt. The blood isn't mine. I was watching a movie with Lingling, and we ran into the guy who hit someone and sent them to the hospital. He still harbored resentment over that incident and tried to attack me. That's how it turned out," Qin Chuan said.

"That guy really deserves it. Come, let me check you to see if you are hurt," Gao Zhanting pulled Qin Chuan towards the examination room.

Jiang Lingling quickly followed.

Jiang Yudong and Zhou Wanqing exchanged glances, clearly puzzled by the relationship between Qin Chuan and Gao Zhanting.

After a thorough examination, Gao Zhanting found that Qin Chuan was indeed fine and finally relaxed.

"Is Doctor Qin okay?" Jiang Lingling asked.

Gao Zhanting smiled, "He's fine. Nothing at all. Lingling, were you scared?"

Jiang Lingling smiled, "I was very scared at first, but I wasn't so afraid with Doctor Qin by my side."

Gao Zhanting looked at the two of them meaningfully, "Oh, you two are really developing fast."

Jiang Yudong and Zhou Wanqing finally relaxed when they saw Qin Chuan and Jiang Lingling were fine.

"Xiao Qin, come to our house for a visit. We owe you a lot today. In the future, think of more ways to handle such situations, don't just rely on brute force. It was very dangerous today. If you were hurt, who would protect Lingling?" Jiang Yudong was very satisfied with Qin Chuan's performance.

"Xiao Qin, don't listen to Uncle Jiang. You did very well in that situation. It's a good thing you have some skills. Otherwise, the consequences today would have been unimaginable. The security in Tanshan City needs to be improved," Zhou Wanqing said.

"Ah, let's go to the house and talk more," Jiang Yudong said.

"Uncle Jiang, Aunt Zhou, I think I'll come another day. I have to work tomorrow, so I'll go home early," Qin Chuan said.

"Alright. Don't be stressed about tonight's incident. Chief Tian just called and said those people are a notorious motorcycle gang in Tanshan City. They have a criminal record with the police. They committed a major crime not long ago, and they won't be out for a while," Jiang Yudong said.

Zhou Wanqing said, "Xiao Qin, come to our house more often. But don't bring anything, just treat it like your own home."

After Jiang Yudong and Zhou Wanqing walked away, Gao Zhanting smiled, "Xiao Chuan, not bad. From the look on Lingling's parents' faces, they already consider you their son-in-law."

Qin Chuan scratched his head, "Sister Zhanting, I'll go home now. You can get back to work."
