Gorgeous Female Tenants

As soon as they got out of the police car, several people came over and surrounded Chen Pingfan and Xu Xiangbei’s group without any explanation.

Leading them was a 35-year-old man in a police uniform, with a square face, a middle-aged man.

"Hello, I am the Deputy Captain of the Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau’s Investigation Team. My name is Liu Mingchuan!" The middle-aged man said, showing his police ID.

"We’ve received a report saying there’s been fighting and intentional injury here!" Liu Mingchuan said seriously.

When he saw the fainted thugs on the ground and some others groaning in pain, his face darkened.

He said, "Now, it seems to be true. We are arresting you for brawling and intentional injury charges. You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used as evidence!"

Saying this, some police officers surrounded Xu Xiangbei’s group, immediately trying to cuff both the thugs and Xu Xiangbei. Xu Xiangbei still had a smile, not reacting in any way.

"Deputy Captain Liu, you can’t just arrest people like this!" Qin Xue saw things going wrong and immediately argued.

"Right, we should first figure out what’s going on!" Guo Lijun also spoke up for Xu Xiangbei.

"I didn’t realize Officer Guo and Officer Qin, you’re here too! Oh, Captain Zeng is also here!"

Liu Mingchuan, upon hearing this, greeted with a smile. He had already noticed Zeng Xianren’s group, but he seemed to intentionally ignore them. If Qin Xue and the others hadn’t spoken up for Xu Xiangbei, he would have taken Xu Xiangbei for questioning right away.

Xu Xiangbei’s face carried a sarcastic smile: "I think you made that report call, right? Our fair and lovely Captain Zeng!"

Zeng Xianren’s face turned a bit red. He indeed made the call. When he saw that the thugs were no match for Xu Xiangbei, he realized something was wrong.

When he saw Chen Pingfan in Xu Xiangbei’s hands, he thought he might be betrayed, so he decided to arrest them all, thinking he could control the situation that way.

It was obvious to anyone that he made the report call, so he admitted, "Yes, I made the call. As the Captain of Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau’s Investigation Team, it is my duty to maintain Jiangcheng’s public order and harmony. Your group brawling like this seriously threatens that harmony!"

His righteous demeanor was of a true actor’s caliber, and Xu Xiangbei couldn’t help but sigh: In this world, to do well, whether in the officialdom or society, it’s all about acting skills!

"So why didn’t Captain Zeng make the call earlier?" Xu Xiangbei still wanted to see what tricks he could pull and was curious about how far he would go, looking at him intently.

Xu Xiangbei’s gaze made Zeng Xianren feel guilty, but he mustered the courage to say, "At first, I didn’t understand what was happening and thought they were your friends.

Only later did I realize there was a conflict, so I didn’t call the police at first. But when I saw they were surrounding you and feared you’d be at a disadvantage, combined with the fact that what you’re doing is illegal, I reported it!"

"If you hadn’t done anything wrong, what would you be afraid of? Besides, it’s for your good, don’t you think, Mr. Xu?" Zeng Xianren put on a considerate expression for Xu Xiangbei.

Seeing his hypocritical demeanor, Xu Xiangbei truly felt like throwing up: "Oh, really? Captain Zeng is so kind to me, how come I never knew before? Thank you so much, I will surely repay you in the future!" He emphasized the words ’repay you’ heavily.

Immediately after, he maintained a provocative smile: "Don’t worry, come on, I haven’t done anything wrong, unlike some people!"

"Oh, so you guys know each other, well, that’s like a flood destroying the temple of the Dragon King, but this is a legal issue. I can’t violate the laws, nor can I cover for Mr. Xu, right?" Liu Mingchuan, listening to their conversation, smiled awkwardly, appearing troubled.

"As the saying goes, even the Emperor is equal to the commoners in the law, Deputy Captain Liu, you can’t cover for Mr. Xu just because there’s some connection or friendship. You must enforce the law impartially. I believe Mr. Xu is innocent and justice will be served, right, Xiao Xue?"

Zeng Xianren put on a righteous expression, seemingly embodying law enforcement’s spirit, and then gestured toward Xu Xiangbei, addressing Qin Xue with a passionate speech as if he were sacrificing personal ties for the greater good.

Qin Xue said coldly, "Of course, in Jiangcheng, no matter who commits a crime, it must be thoroughly investigated!"

"Since Captain Zeng and Officer Qin have both said so, I will handle it impartially!" Liu Mingchuan said with a smile.

"Then please come with us to the police station, Mr. Xu, and record a statement, clarify the cause and effect of this incident. Rest assured, I will stick to the facts, I won’t wrong you!" Saying this, he was about to take Xu Xiangbei away.

"Wait, take us along, too. We’re also involved and witnesses to the matter, we should record statements together!" Guo Lijun said from the side.

"Right, right, we must stick to the facts, we can’t skip the proper procedures just because we’re police!" Qin Xue also agreed from the side.

Zeng Xianren wanted to say something, but hearing their words, his expression changed, and he could only keep quiet and get onto the police car with Liu Mingchuan.

They immediately sat together, supposedly discussing work, but who knew what they were actually talking about?

The thugs didn’t suffer too much injury. Xu Xiangbei didn’t use excessive force, most merely fainted, a few were sent to the hospital, but most were taken into the police cars, heading toward the public security bureau together.

Once Xu Xiangbei entered the police station, he was taken to an interrogation room by two officers and questioned about basic information and the incident’s cause, course, and result.

However, the case’s control swiftly fell into Zeng Xianren’s hands.

About half an hour later, the door opened, and Zeng Xianren, wearing his police uniform, sauntered in with a police baton in hand, followed by two officers.

"Brother, this incident has caused you lots of trouble today. I heard you’ve crippled a few of those guys, and that could lead to serious criminal charges, potentially over ten years in prison!" Zeng Xianren sat across from Xu Xiangbei, looking troubled.

"Oh, really? I’m very clear on the severity of my actions. Their injuries are minor. If you don’t believe me, they can be sent directly to the First People’s Hospital, and I can cover their medical expenses — I’m a consultant there in Chinese medicine!" Xu Xiangbei wore a smile, seeing Zeng Xianren’s intent clearly.

"I know it’s not that severe, but they’re insisting otherwise, making this hard to handle!" Zeng Xianren appeared troubled.

"There’s nothing difficult about this, just send them to the hospital for a full examination. Even if they’re genuinely injured, I can treat them; rest assured."

With a faint smile, Xu Xiangbei directly faced Zeng Xianren, curious to see what trick he would try next.

"Since you say that, I’m relieved. But Chen Pingfan insists you dumped his sister, almost causing her to commit suicide, making this complicated!"

Zeng Xianren’s expression darkened, sizing up Xu Xiangbei, viewing him as a tough nut to crack like a stubborn stone in a latrine, both stinking and hard! But he hesitated to use force, especially with Qin Xue and Guo Lijun in the neighboring room.

"Didn’t you hear earlier? Isn’t that a fabrication? Even if it’s true, what I did wasn’t illegal; they attacked first, I acted in self-defense!" Xu Xiangbei knew Zeng Xianren had no cards left to play, his face full of laughter.

"That’s how it is, but they have the numbers, and with Officer Qin and I as your friends, our testimonies might not be reliable!" Zeng Xianren seemed out of ideas.

Feigning a helpless expression, Xu Xiangbei said, "Then there’s no room for negotiation. I’ll just call my lawyer and see you in court!"

"Brother, don’t do that; it genuinely won’t be good for you if you end up jailed." Zeng Xianren tried to persuade kindly.

"I’m a police officer, I’ve studied lots of laws, and this really doesn’t favor you. I think legal action isn’t the right path, let’s settle instead, a bit of compensation should suffice!"

Zeng Xianren coaxed, realizing he couldn’t break Xu Xiangbei, yet thinking perhaps he could extort some money.

Seeing through his intent, Xu Xiangbei calmly said, "If we can settle, let’s settle. How much do you think, Captain Zeng?"

Zeng Xianren breathed a sigh of relief, hoping Xu Xiangbei wouldn’t escalate this to a courtroom, where he could be exposed as the mastermind. He suggested, "How about 70,000?"
