Chapter 25

"What's going on? What's happening? Who's fighting here? All of you, come with me to the station."

Lin Yihang was standing in front of Chen Kuaida, ready to continue settling the score, when he heard the door of a private room nearby open. A voice shouted, and a few men, reeking of alcohol, walked out.

The one in the lead was short, with a body clearly overindulged in food and drink, and a large beer belly.

Among the few behind him, only one was in police uniform; the others were in casual clothes.

However, from their tone, it was clear that they were all police officers.

"Chief Ma, help! Someone is causing trouble and hitting people after drinking!" Chen Kuaida's eyes lit up when he saw them, as if he had found his savior, and he called out loudly.

The police officers were stunned for a moment when they saw Chen Kuaida and his group lying on the ground, their faces showing surprise.

However, they quickly regained their composure, their gazes sweeping over Lin Yihang before finally focusing on the fat man behind him.

"Who hit someone? Was it you?"

Clearly, from his appearance, Lin Yihang's small frame did not seem capable of taking down so many people.

On the contrary, the fat man, with his robust build and black eye circles, was clearly evidence of a mutual fight.

"It was him! Chief Ma, he's the one who hit people. Don't let him run away!" Chen Kuaida pointed at Lin Yihang and shouted without waiting for the fat man to explain.

"Was it you who hit someone?" Chief Ma asked, though surprised, with a stern face.

Lin Yihang's face was equally grim.

This Chief Ma was clearly here to help Chen Kuaida.

They were eating in the room next door, and when Chen Kuaida and his group beat up the fat man and forcibly dragged Lu Man into the toilet, the noise was so loud, yet they didn't come out. Now, as soon as Lin Yihang had beaten Chen Kuaida and his group, these people came out to "uphold justice," and without a word, they assumed Lin Yihang's side was the aggressor and Chen Kuaida's side was the victim.

Although Chen Kuaida and his group were lying on the ground, looking like the weaker side, their appearance—shaved heads, dyed yellow hair, and exposed tattoos—didn't make them look like good people.

Even ordinary passersby wouldn't mistake them for victims, let alone experienced police officers.

"Chief Ma, right? Without investigating, you immediately concluded that we were the ones who hit people. Is this how you usually handle cases?"

Lin Yihang's voice was calm, but it ignited a fire in Chief Ma's heart.

Damn! What kind of person is this! How dare he speak to me like this?

Although he was just a small chief, he was the boss in this area, and he was used to being flattered. Many people begged him for favors.

Today, a young punk dared to question him, which was a challenge to his authority!

The smaller the official, the more they valued such things.

Chief Ma glanced at Lin Yihang... cheap clothes, worth less than 200 yuan, already half-worn... he didn't look like a child from a wealthy or powerful family.

This must be a poor kid, naive enough to think the police serve the people... Chief Ma instantly categorized Lin Yihang and felt no hesitation.

"Do we need you to teach us how to handle cases? No nonsense, come with me to the station immediately."

Chief Ma was afraid of a bad influence, so he decided to take them to the station first. Once there, he could do whatever he wanted.

Daring to talk back to me... once at the station, I'll show you why the flowers are so red!

Chief Ma thought coldly.

"What if I don't go with you?" Lin Yihang's voice deepened.

Who is Lin Yihang? A genius cultivator from Longhu Mountain, respected wherever he went. Although he was now in a difficult situation, he wouldn't bow to a mere lapdog.

"Not coming with me? Then you're resisting arrest!"

Little punk! I can't deal with you!

Chief Ma glared.

"So stubborn, clearly a repeat offender! Take him away!" One of the officers immediately echoed his leader.

Accusations piled up on Lin Yihang's head.

Resisting arrest, repeat offender... any of these charges would make it hard for Lin Yihang to escape.

"Police officers, you can't just lump good and bad people together! They were harassing me, and my friend stepped in to teach them a lesson." Lu Man stepped forward, worried.

She thought the problem was solved when she saw the police come, assuming they would take the shaved heads away. But it turned out to be completely different. These police officers were clearly here to support the shaved heads, which made her extremely frustrated.

The commotion earlier, with the shaved heads being rowdy, no one dared to watch. Even the waiters stayed far away.

Now that the shaved heads were beaten, and Lin Yihang and his group didn't look as intimidating, and with the police present, some people started to watch from a distance, pointing and discussing.

Chief Ma felt annoyed.

His group was reeking of alcohol, walking unsteadily, and this would look bad if seen by others.

Ignoring Lu Man, he waved his hand and shouted, his breath reeking of alcohol:

"Don't make it complicated. We said to come with us to the station. Everything will be clear there."

The officer in uniform and another person understood and immediately moved forward, reaching out to grab Lin Yihang.

Since they were clearly targeting him, Lin Yihang wouldn't submit. In this situation, he wouldn't give up his freedom, even if it meant fleeing after assaulting a police officer.

He blocked with his arm, pushed, and tripped with his foot.

Bang! Bang!

The two police officers "Ouch!" and fell to the ground, wincing in pain.

"Damn! You dare to assault a police officer! Do you believe I can shoot you?"

Chief Ma reached for his waist, raised his hand, and pointed a gun at Lin Yihang.

The scene instantly became tense.

Lin Yihang froze, his back cold, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Killing intent!

He felt killing intent from Chief Ma!

At that moment, Lin Yihang felt the threat of death. With the gun pointing at him, he felt his life was in the hands of the other person. If that fat finger pulled the trigger, the bullet would take his life.

At such close range, with his current strength, he had no chance to dodge.

"Put the gun down!" Yang Tingting's face tightened, and she shouted coldly.

"Don't move! Otherwise, I'll consider you an accomplice and shoot you too!" Chief Ma pointed at Yang Tingting with his other hand, warning her.

With the gun ready to fire, Yang Tingting hesitated and didn't dare to move forward.

The feeling of immediately controlling the situation made Chief Ma very pleased. He sneered and looked at Lin Yihang.

"Kid, you think you're tough, don't you? Try moving again! I'll shoot you, and you won't have a place to complain. Do you believe me? Fighting me! I represent the state, and you're nothing!"

Chief Ma's breath reeked of alcohol. He pointed the gun at Lin Yihang's head and stepped forward. He had seen that Lin Yihang was skilled, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to beat the shaved heads and knock down two of his subordinates, so he decided to use the gun.

Relying on weapons and authority, Chief Ma was very skilled at this.

However, just as he was most pleased, someone used authority to pressure him. Yang Tingting's face was serious:

"Try shooting! This is carrying a gun privately outside of duty,涉嫌滥用枪支! I want to ask Uncle Zhou how he manages his subordinates!"

Uncle Zhou... how he manages his subordinates...

Chief Ma was stunned. It wasn't hard to guess who "Uncle Zhou" was. The head of the Shuncheng Public Security Bureau, Zhou Zhen Tao, was likely the one.

He turned to look at Yang Tingting. Her clothes looked ordinary but were all designer brands. Her presence and demeanor clearly indicated she wasn't from a common family.

I really drank too much! I was so focused on her beauty that I didn't pay attention to these details!

Chief Ma cursed himself. His tone softened, and he confirmed:

"Are you talking about Chief Zhou?"

Before Yang Tingting could answer, Lin Yihang moved.

Since the gun was pointed at him, Lin Yihang appeared motionless but was actually looking for a chance to escape. The longer the gun was pointed at him, the greater the danger.

Chief Ma had been staring at him, giving him no chance. Now, as he turned to look at Yang Tingting, Lin Yihang wouldn't miss this opportunity.

He moved quickly, avoiding the direction of the gun, and reached out to grab Chief Ma's wrist.

Snap!

Without hesitation, a crisp sound of a broken bone, Chief Ma's wrist was broken.

"Ahhh—"

In the scream, Lin Yihang grabbed the gun and turned the barrel to point at Chief Ma.

"Don't shoot, Lin Yihang!" Yang Tingting was very anxious.

Shooting a police officer! If Lin Yihang shot and injured Chief Ma, regardless of the reason, he would be guilty and his life would be ruined!

Even with her family's background, it would be difficult to protect him from such a serious case.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

But it was too late!

Lin Yihang didn't hesitate at all and pulled the trigger.

The crisp gunshots echoed in the hallway.
