Chapter 4

Chen Mo inwardly called out in distress, Zhou Yaping looked extremely angry, and today's matter was going to be troublesome. However, he couldn't go back to the police station with her. Once he went in, it would take at least 24 hours to get out, and he wouldn't be able to attend his afternoon classes. Who knew if that 'extinction' old woman would take attendance? If she did, he would be marked as absent.

"If the school finds out that I fought with someone outside, the minimum punishment would be a major demerit. If I also skip class, I might even be expelled!" Chen Mo thought to himself, forcing himself to remain calm on the surface. After a moment of silence, he turned and walked away.

If he didn't leave now, he wouldn't have another chance!

Chen Siyao had been closely watching Chen Mo's actions. Seeing him walk out, she was momentarily stunned but quickly understood. She cursed inwardly at how cunning this boy was, hurriedly put the things on the table into her LV handbag, and got up to leave. She had come to the mainland to find Chen Mo to register their marriage in Nangang City and didn't want to go to the police station. If it got out that the CEO of Zhen Shan Group was arrested for disturbing the peace, it would be a laughingstock!

"Stop them!" Zhou Yaping suddenly panicked and shouted at the manager by the door.

The manager quickly directed the other security guards to intercept Chen Mo and Chen Siyao. However, Chen Mo was very fast, and the guards couldn't catch him. Instead, a scream came from Chen Siyao.

Chen Mo stopped and turned around. Chen Siyao was already surrounded by three security guards. Seeing the lecherous looks on their faces, it seemed they might take advantage of her. "No, she is the wife my uncle left me, no one can touch her!" Chen Mo thought, immediately turning back. He directly extended his hand and grabbed one of the guards who was reaching for Chen Siyao.

"Ouch, ouch, easy!" the guard cried out in pain.

The other two guards swallowed their saliva. They were just ordinary security guards, and when faced with a real tough guy, they immediately became timid. Chen Mo looked like a student, but once he acted, the two guards immediately knew they were no match for him. Don't let his young appearance fool you; he was ruthless.

"What are you waiting for? Go!" Chen Mo shouted at Chen Siyao.

Chen Siyao reacted and quickly ran outside. At that moment, a gunshot rang out, shattering a coffee cup next to Chen Siyao. Fragments flew everywhere. For a moment, the entire café fell silent, then chaos ensued.

The guests who were just watching the commotion now screamed and ran out of the private rooms or directly from their seats in the hall, creating a chaotic scene as they all rushed outside, losing control.

"Whoever dares to run, this girl's bullet won't have eyes!" Zhou Yaping's cold voice echoed from behind Chen Mo and Chen Siyao. She was furious and completely indifferent to the chaos around her.

"Crazy!" Chen Mo had to stop, and the word "crazy" flashed through his mind. As a police officer, she actually fired a gun in a public place. What else could she be but crazy?

Chen Siyao's beautiful face was tight-lipped, though she appeared calm, a hint of panic burned inside her. Oh, what kind of police are there in the mainland? How could they just shoot over such a small matter? This made her feel very unsafe, but she had no way to complain about it now.

"Get down, raise your hands, or I'll shoot!" At this moment, Zhou Yaping was in control. The manager, seeing the chaos and the people fleeing without paying, was almost in tears. Today was a bad day; how could he have encountered a bunch of lunatics? But he couldn't show it; the female police officer next to him was a real tough one. She had already fired a shot, and if he said too much, he might end up with a bullet himself.

Five minutes later, due to a civilian's call, the local police station arrived. They recognized Zhou Yaping and quickly greeted her, then used police cars to take Chen Mo, Zhao Hongjun, and the others to the police station.

At the police station, to prevent collusion, Chen Mo and the others were immediately separated. Chen Mo was taken to a small room and harshly ordered by two stern-faced police officers to write a statement.

"Ridiculous!" Less than half an hour after returning, Zhou Yaping was called to the chief's office. Zhou Changlin, the head of the High-tech Zone Police Division, was furious. He almost pointed at Zhou Yaping's nose and said, "You are completely out of line! Firing a gun in a public place over a trivial matter, do you know the consequences? I've already received a call from higher-ups, demanding that this matter be handled strictly. The social impact is too severe. You are on leave for a few days, and you won't be handling any cases in the criminal investigation team. I can't keep worrying about you every day!"

"Uncle..." Zhou Yaping, who was usually like a little dragon, now stood obediently, listening to Zhou Changlin's scolding without daring to argue, but she was very不服气 (unconvinced), especially when she heard about her leave. She hurriedly said, "I won't do it again, Uncle..."

Zhou Changlin waved his hand to cut her off, saying, "That's enough. This isn't my decision; it's from higher-ups. Even your father can't help you. Yaping, don't be so impulsive in the future. Do you know who the people you brought back are? Zhao Hongjun, the third son of Hai Dong Group, and Chen Siyao, the CEO of Zhen Shan Group. These are international companies. Moreover, Hai Dong Group has established three branches in Jiangsong City, each with assets reaching hundreds of millions. Not only did you hit Zhao Hongjun, but you also fired at the CEO of Zhen Shan Group. Do you know that even the mayor would have to show respect to these two? You really know how to cause trouble, sigh!"

"Uncle, it was clearly their fault..." Zhou Yaping tried to explain, but Zhou Changlin, already impatient, cut her off, "Get out of my sight, and don't worry about this matter anymore!"

"I'll go, but I didn't do anything wrong!" Zhou Yaping left Zhou Changlin's office in a huff, feeling very depressed. How could she randomly pick up two people with such powerful backgrounds? But even if they had strong backgrounds, what could they do? In ancient times, even the emperor was subject to the same laws as commoners. Now, in a modern society with a sound legal system and equality for all, this was unfair. It was clearly their fault, so why did Uncle scold her like that?

"Captain Zhou, here is the statement and the surveillance video from the café, please take a look!" Zhou Yaping was a famous beautiful policewoman in the division, but few dared to approach her because of her temper and exceptional skills. If someone accidentally provoked her, the consequences would be severe. So, even though the male police officers in the division lusted after her beauty, they didn't dare to have any improper thoughts. A young male police officer in his twenties carefully spoke to Zhou Yaping, knowing that she was very angry and wouldn't approach her unless necessary.

"Hmm?" Zhou Yaping took the statement and the USB drive, glanced at the statement, and saw that it only contained information about one person. She had brought back five people, but the other four had lawyers arrive within five minutes and left, leaving only one who seemed to be neglected by everyone!

"Chen Mo?" Looking at the information, Zhou Yaping pondered for a moment, a smile appearing on her face. This smile didn't make the young police officer feel warm; instead, he felt a chill. He knew that when Captain Zhou showed this expression, someone was about to suffer!
