In the incident where the Four Musketeers blocked Jiang Ping in front of the Second Middle School, it ultimately ended with the police being alerted. Wu Qiang, Jiang Jun, and others were taken to the police station without any doubt, and Jiang Ping and Zhang Jun, as the other party involved, were also taken to the police station for questioning. Besides Jiang Ping and Zhang Jun, Li Qian and Yu Menghua, along with two other students, voluntarily went to the police station to testify for them. After the group arrived at the police station, they were taken to an office where a police officer took their statements.

Because Wu Qiang had used a knife this time, and there were quite a few injuries, it was considered a serious public security case, which even alarmed the police station chief, Yang Bo. Especially when he heard that the Four Musketeers, who were well-known troublemakers, had been beaten by a high school student, Yang Bo felt somewhat curious. He decided to see for himself what was so special about this high school student that he had such great abilities.

When Yang Bo saw Jiang Ping, he was calmly being questioned. Li Qian sat beside him without any reservations, her face full of worry as she looked at his injured arm.

Seeing Yang Bo enter, the police officer who was taking Jiang Ping's statement quickly stood up to greet him: "Chief Yang!"

Yang Bo nodded at the police officer and then looked at Jiang Ping with interest. When his gaze fell on Jiang Ping's arm, he couldn't help but frown slightly and said to the police officer, "Why hasn't he been taken to the hospital if he's injured? Instead, that scoundrel Wu Qiang is in the hospital. What's the logic behind this?"

Yang Bo was in his thirties, tall and robust, with a standard square face that naturally exuded an air of authority. His stern expression now frightened the young police officer, who had just started working, into stammering and unable to speak.

However, Jiang Ping wasn't intimidated by Yang Bo's appearance. Seeing the young police officer's pitiful state, he took the initiative to stand up and said, "Chief Yang, this isn't the fault of the police officer. I didn't want to go to the hospital myself."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ping took the initiative to speak up, and Yang Bo asked him in surprise, "How do you know my surname and my position in the station?"

Jiang Ping smiled faintly and said, "The police officer just called you that, so I followed his lead."

Seeing Jiang Ping's calm demeanor and the lack of nervousness in his voice, Yang Bo felt a bit of admiration for him and asked with interest, "Why don't you want to go to the hospital?"

"It's just a minor injury, no need to make it so complicated," Jiang Ping said, glancing at the bandage on his arm. "Most importantly, I don't want my parents to worry. The college entrance exam is coming up, and there's no need to make things more complicated."

Yang Bo, a former soldier, admired tough men. Seeing the bravery of the high school student Jiang Ping, his impression of him improved even more, and he nodded lightly, saying, "It's good that a young person knows how to consider their parents. However, since you know your parents would worry, why did you get into a fight with Wu Qiang and the others in the first place?"

Hearing Yang Bo's question, Jiang Ping turned to look at Li Qian beside him and smiled slightly, "Those people wanted to bully my classmates. I couldn't just stand by and let them do as they pleased!"

Hearing the tenderness in Jiang Ping's words, Li Qian lowered her head, but her face was filled with a happy smile.

Before being transferred to this police station, Yang Bo was the deputy captain of the city's criminal investigation team, and he had a keen eye for people. He immediately saw that the relationship between the young man and woman in front of him was far more than just classmates.

However, this wasn't something Yang Bo needed to manage, and he didn't intend to get involved in the young couple's affairs. He simply nodded at Jiang Ping and said, "Not bad, you have a sense of responsibility, like a real man!"

As a former detective, Yang Bo had handled many similar cases. In several of these cases, the men ran faster than their girlfriends, leaving them to the mercy of the violent criminals. The most extreme case was a man who, to ensure his own safety, pushed his girlfriend out to appease the criminals, which was utterly despicable! Compared to these men, Jiang Ping, though young, was undoubtedly a true man.

Jiang Ping merely smiled in response to Yang Bo's praise and then asked with concern, "Chief Yang, you're an expert in this field. I want to ask how many years Wu Qiang will likely be sentenced to?"

At this, Yang Bo immediately became serious, frowning as he said, "This boy was involved in a gang fight and used a knife to injure people. He also has a criminal record. This time, he will be sentenced to at least two to three years. As for the other hooligans, they will be criminally detained as accomplices."

Hearing Yang Bo's words, Jiang Ping couldn't help but nod. At this moment, he was certain that the brown fortune represented imprisonment.

Hearing that the ringleader Wu Qiang would be going to jail, Li Qian and the other students were all delighted. However, there were still some who were unsatisfied. Zhang Jun quickly mustered the courage to ask, "Chief Yang, how will Zhou Xiang be dealt with? Jiang Jun said in front of everyone that this was Zhou Xiang's doing!"

Yang Bo didn't beat around the bush and turned to ask his subordinate, "Have our people gone to find the student named Zhou Xiang?"

"The officer Li Xiang has already gone," the police officer quickly replied. "He should be back soon."

Coincidentally, just as the police officer finished speaking, Li Xiang came to find Yang Bo. However, he returned alone, without bringing Zhou Xiang.

"What happened? Where is he?" Yang Bo frowned, not waiting for Li Xiang to speak.

Li Xiang was about to explain but suddenly noticed that Jiang Ping and the others were still there. He quickly whispered, "Chief Yang, let's talk outside."

Yang Bo wasn't a fool and immediately sensed that something was wrong. He nodded and went out with Li Xiang. As soon as they were outside, Yang Bo asked sternly, "What's going on?"

"I went to Zhou Xiang's house," Li Xiang whispered. "This is a bit complicated. Zhou Xiang's father is named Zhou Lihua, and he is a cadre in the district's armed forces department. He seems to have a good relationship with Director Liu."

Yang Bo frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"

Li Xiang nodded and said, "When I got there, he called Director Liu. Director Liu personally told me over the phone not to waste police resources on baseless rumors."

Yang Bo's brows furrowed deeply as he said, "What do you mean by 'baseless rumors'? Why did Jiang Jun single out Zhou Xiang and not others? Can this be considered a baseless rumor?!"

Seeing the chief's anger, Li Xiang lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word.

Although Yang Bo was complaining, he knew he was powerless in such matters. If he could bring Zhou Xiang to the station, he was confident he could get the truth out of him. But with Director Liu's interference, there was no hope of getting to the bottom of this.

Yang Bo thought for a moment and then waved Li Xiang away, saying, "You go. I'll handle this."
