Chapter 30

"Be honest!"

The burly police officer snatched the phone from Lin Fan's hand, hung up without checking the number, and then turned it off to prevent any trouble. He then grabbed Lin Fan's wrist and handcuffed him.

"Don't worry, I won't resist, hehe." Lin Fan had a calm and composed look on his face, holding Qiqi as the burly police officer handcuffed him.

"Move!"

After handcuffing Lin Fan, the burly police officer pushed him hard and shouted.

"Son of a bitch! I want to see how you can still jump around this time!" Li Dongmei looked at Lin Fan with venom and stepped forward, reaching out to scratch him.

Qiqi, seeing the fierce and fat woman, was scared white and shivered in Lin Fan's arms.

"Hmm?"

Lin Fan looked at Li Dongmei with a cold gaze. If this shallow woman really wanted to do it, he wouldn't mind giving her a lesson she would never forget.

"Alright, sister, there are too many people around. Don't do it here. Once we get to the station, you can do whatever you want to him."

Li Ming frowned and pulled Li Dongmei aside, speaking softly.

"Hmph! You wait! If I don't make you regret being born, I won't be Li!" Li Dongmei finally stopped, pointing at Lin Fan and threatening him.

At this moment, many people in the neighborhood noticed what was happening. When they saw Lin Fan being handcuffed by the police, they started to point and discuss.

"Who is that young man? Does he live here too?"

"Probably not. He looks like a poor guy, and somehow he offended Wang Chao."

"Hehe, Wang Chao may not be a big shot, but he made his fortune through his wife. His brother-in-law, Li Ming, is the real police station chief in Linjiang District. That guy is in for a rough time."

...

Soon, Lin Fan was escorted onto the police car by the police. The burly police officer and two other colleagues also got into the car and left the Jiangnan Waterfront neighborhood, heading to the police station.

Li Ming quickly walked to Wang Chao's side, looking at him with concern and said, "Brother-in-law, how are you?"

After saying that, Li Ming called over a nearby police officer and said, "Call 120 for an ambulance!"

"Yes, Chief!" The police officer quickly responded and took out his phone to make the call.

Wang Chao was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely, but he managed to force a grim smile and said, "I... I'm fine..."

"That's good." Li Ming nodded, straightened up, and raised his voice, "Someone dared to commit a violent crime in broad daylight in my jurisdiction! They injured an outstanding entrepreneur in our city! As the head of Linjiang District, I feel very ashamed, but please rest assured, I will bring the culprit to justice and have him punished by the law!"

After saying that, Li Ming deliberately looked around at the onlookers. He then left two police officers to take care of Wang Chao and his injured bodyguards, and drove the police car to the police station with Li Dongmei.

...

In the police car.

Qiqi lay in Lin Fan's arms, timidly looking at the three police officers in the car and said worriedly, "Daddy, are we going to jail?"

Lin Fan instinctively raised his hand to pat Qiqi's head but found it inconvenient with the handcuffs. He patted Qiqi's back instead and said softly, "No, they don't have the power to put Dad in jail. We'll be out soon. We still need to buy a car today."

"Hehe, kid, don't brag in front of the child. You offended the chief's sister and brother-in-law today and think you can leave unscathed? I don't think so."

The burly police officer in the front seat turned around and looked at Lin Fan with disdain.

"Hehe." Lin Fan smiled calmly and said nothing.

"Showing off! You'll regret it when we get back!" The burly police officer's face changed, and he coldly snorted.

Lin Fan didn't take the police officer's threats seriously. In his mind, these people were just like ants. If it weren't for Qiqi, he wouldn't have submitted so easily.

...

The Bolan River runs through the middle of Longcheng, dividing it into northern and southern parts. Each part has three or four districts. Linjiang District is on the south bank of the Bolan River, while Binhai District is on the north bank.

On the riverside of Binhai District, there is a standalone villa facing the Bolan River, covering more than 500 square meters. The location is prime, and the villa even has a natural hot spring, greatly increasing its value. It would be impossible to live there without a net worth of over 100 million.

This villa is known as the Tian Shui Xiang Quan Villa, and its owner is Zhang Haitian, the richest man in Longcheng.

Originally, Zhang Haitian bought this villa for his grandfather to enjoy his retirement, but the old man, due to his age and recurring illness, had been in declining health for the past six months and was no longer suitable to live in a damp area. He moved to the Zhang family courtyard in the city center, leaving the villa vacant.

After Lin Fan solved Gu Meijuan's infertility problem through alchemy, Zhang Haitian put aside all his work and social engagements and brought his wife to the Tian Shui Xiang Quan Villa to enjoy a few days of their own and try to fulfill the glorious mission of having a child. However, just as they returned to the villa, they received a call from Lin Fan, who only said one sentence before hanging up.

"I was arrested by the Linjiang District police station."

This single sentence made the face of the Longcheng business tycoon instantly turn dark.

He had received such a great favor from Lin Fan and hadn't had the chance to repay him, yet his benefactor was arrested by the police. After the call was disconnected, he tried to call back but found that the other party had turned off the phone, making Zhang Haitian extremely angry and suspecting that Lin Fan might have been framed.

Seeing her husband's dark expression, Gu Meijuan held Zhang Haitian's arm and asked softly, "What's wrong, Old Zhang? What happened?"

"Hmph! We just left, and Lin Fan was taken away by the police. He just called me and said that one sentence before the call was hung up. I don't think this is simple; he might have been framed." Zhang Haitian said with a dark face.

"Oh? What should we do? Old Zhang, you have to help!" Gu Meijuan was also worried, as Lin Fan was her great benefactor.

"Don't worry, I'll call and find out the situation." Zhang Haitian calmed his wife and found the phone number of the CEO of Xingye Group in his contacts and called it.

This CEO of Xingye Group lives in Jiangnan Waterfront and might know something about the situation.

The call was quickly answered, and the CEO's hearty voice came through the receiver.

"Old Zhang, I was just thinking of calling you for a drink. You called just in time."

Zhang Haitian spoke quickly, "Old Li, let's reschedule the drink. I have an urgent matter to discuss."

"What's up?"

As the president of the Longcheng Chamber of Commerce, Zhang Haitian had been through many business battles and rarely showed such urgency and excitement. Old Li immediately became serious.

"It's like this. A friend of mine lives in the same neighborhood as you. He was just arrested by the police. Do you know anything about it?" Zhang Haitian asked.

"Arrested by the police?" Old Li frowned and muttered, then said, "I did see two police cars enter the neighborhood and take away a young man, who was accused of being a murderer. The young man was holding a child around three or four years old. But from his appearance, he looked like a poor guy. Could he be the friend you mentioned?"

"That's him!" Hearing Old Li's description, Zhang Haitian was almost certain that the person arrested was indeed Lin Fan, so he quickly asked, "Do you know what happened?"

"I didn't see the whole process, but the one who arrested him was Li Ming. It seems that the young man had a disagreement with his sister and brother-in-law, and it's actually Li Ming using his power for personal revenge." Old Li, upon hearing that Lin Fan was Zhang Haitian's friend, unconsciously leaned towards Lin Fan, but what he said was indeed the truth.

"Got it, thanks, Old Li. I'll treat you to a drink another day." Zhang Haitian understood.

"You're welcome."

With that, they ended the call.

Zhang Haitian put down his phone and said angrily with a dark face,

"A small police station chief really thinks he can cover the sky with one hand! I think your days are numbered!"
