Xie Siya was practically a expendable pawn at this point; it didn't matter what he did. In this day and age, everything became clear in a flash. Therefore, he acted without much hesitation. "Isn't it because I'm worried she might suddenly injure someone? She has considerable destructive power and is dangerous; she could easily hurt someone if she's not careful."
"Let's go, let's go~" Lin Feng was too lazy to pursue the matter any further; he didn't care whether the woman lived or died. Although the woman was indeed very sexy and alluring, what's good is useless if you can't have it.
"Let me in, let me through! Do you know who I am? Get out of my way!" An angry roar suddenly came from the entrance of the residential area. A man was shouting at the gate, seemingly trying to break the police cordon and get to the scene.
"Go and see who's making a fuss," Lin Feng instructed Guan Ling.
"Yes~" Guan Ling ran out, and returned a moment later. She glanced at Xie Siya with a strange expression and said, "Boss, it's Cai Qingni."
"It's him? What's going on?" Lin Feng frowned, and without turning his head, said, "Everyone, follow me back to the station. Li Yang and Cao Xin, you two come back with us too, to assist us with the investigation."
“No problem~” Li Yang nodded. Cao Xin naturally agreed and followed them. The group arrived at the entrance of the residential area. Cai Qingni, looking anxious and angry, was arguing with the police officers. The officers at the entrance were all Lin Feng's confidants, meaning they were Zhao Yunlong's men. Zhao Yunlong was Ye Qing's man, so they were Ye Qing's men too. Therefore, they didn't show much kindness or fear towards Cai Qingni. Damn it, your father Cai Lan is past his prime, although he's still in power, our boss isn't afraid of you at all. What are you so arrogant about? We're not going to take you down~
"Lin Feng, let her go! I'm telling you, if any of you dare to lay a finger on her, I'll make you regret it for the rest of your lives!" Cai Qingni shouted, pointing at Lin Feng with her arm reaching over a police officer's head.
"Qingni? What are you doing here? What are you doing here?" Xie Siya burst into tears upon seeing Cai Qingni, shouting excitedly and trying to rush over. Wang Gang immediately let go upon seeing Cai Qingni, but Guan Ling grabbed Xie Siya; this was an important suspect, and they couldn't let her go.
“Cai Qingni, don’t obstruct justice, don’t hinder our law enforcement. Xie Siya is suspected of a crime, and we need to take her back to the police station to assist with the investigation. This is none of your business. Please watch your position and your words,” Lin Feng said expressionlessly and seriously.
Cai Qingni's expression was ferocious. When she saw Li Yang and Cao Xin at the back of the crowd, her face suddenly changed, and she roared, "Is Xie Siya suspected of murdering that bastard Li Yang?"
"Fuck you, you bastard! Eunuch Cai! How dare you insult me!" Li Yang shouted angrily, pointing at Cai Qingni.
"So what if I curse you? What kind of skill do you have, fighting with a woman? You think you can fight me? See if I'm scared of you or not? I'll kill you!" Cai Qingni cursed through gritted teeth, showing great disdain for Li Yang's words.
"Wow, that's amazing! I'm so scared~" Li Yang said, feigning fear, but his lips curled into a disdainful and contemptuous smile.
Cai Qingni sneered, glared at Li Yang, and turned to Lin Feng, saying, "Captain Lin, since you are handling this matter officially and without favoritism, then I will report this to the police now."
"Huh? You want to report a crime?" Lin Feng was taken aback. What was going on here?
“Yes, I’m going to report this to the police. I’m going to sue Li Yang for maliciously injuring someone in the community, causing serious injury and almost death. This is a fact that is well-documented and witnessed by countless people. I’m going to sue Li Yang right now!” Cai Qingni stared at Li Yang with a sinister look and said fiercely.
"Are you alright?" Cao Xin asked anxiously, grabbing Li Yang's arm. Li Yang took her smooth, boneless hand in return and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine!" "Mmm~" Cao Xin was still worried. After all, Li Yang had just hit her because of her, and he had almost crippled her—a serious crime, intentional assault.
"Is that so?" Lin Feng turned to look at Li Yang. He believed Li Yang was capable of such a thing, even more serious ones. But the current situation was somewhat complicated, since Li Yang was now playing the victim. To be suddenly accused of crippling someone seemed a bit too much. Lin Feng glanced at Li Yang and then at Cai Qingni, showing no intention of making a move.
Chapter 924: Using Tricks
"Nothing of the sort. That kid's gone mad, he's a rabid dog. He saw we took his girlfriend and started biting everyone he sees. I think you should just arrest him!" Li Yang said nonchalantly to Cai Qingni. There was no evidence whatsoever; for Lin Feng to arrest someone based solely on Cai Qingni's words was ridiculous. "I can just accuse someone of theft, adultery, or something like that on the street, and the police will arrest them all and interrogate them? What a joke!"
"Lin Feng, I'm telling you, it's true. I have witnesses and physical evidence, but they're not here right now. But you can arrest this bastard now, he's definitely not a clean person~" Cai Qingni said excitedly, pointing her finger at Li Yang's nose and cursing.
"Qingni, don't get agitated. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." Xie Siya was deeply moved. Cai Qingni, the son of the municipal party secretary, was willing to do this for her; she was already more than content. She would have been willing to die for him.
"No. Siya, I absolutely won't let anything happen to you. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you. That bastard, I've put up with him for so long, this time I will definitely not let him get away with it! He said you attempted murder? Let me tell you, he also intentionally injured someone just now, and the person is now crippled. His actions constitute a crime, a very serious and heinous act that has caused extremely negative consequences. He won't be any better than you. If he dares to do anything to you, I will definitely make him pay with his blood!" Cai Qingni said to Xie Siya with great excitement. Although there were several police officers between them, their hands were outstretched and clasped together, like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl separated by the Magpie Bridge.
"I never imagined that the spoiled brat Cai Qingni could be so devoted. How surprising!" Li Yang chuckled and whispered. "More devoted than you, huh? You're just a heartbreaker!" Guan Ling turned around and said disdainfully after hearing Li Yang's words.
"I am a bit of a womanizer, it's a common problem for men, and I'm no exception, I won't deny it. But what does that have to do with you?" Li Yang glared at Guan Ling, thinking, "Even though we have a good relationship, you can't slander me like this."
Guan Ling was furious, but upon reflection, she realized he was right. What was her relationship with Li Yang anyway? Why should she care whether he spent money or not? She wasn't anyone to him; it was just meddling in other people's business. However, despite these thoughts, Guan Ling still felt very uncomfortable and wronged. Her chest tightened, her eyes reddened, and she glared at Li Yang, saying, "You're bullying me!"
Li Yang glanced at Cao Xin's meaningful gaze and immediately felt guilty, saying, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
"You may not have flowers on your face, but you have flowers in your heart," Cao Xin said to Li Yang playfully. Yes, how can someone be a flirt if they don't have flowers in their heart?
Li Yang was stunned. Sister Xin, your jokes are really lame.
"Cai Qingni, please leave. Don't obstruct our law enforcement. Otherwise, I'll have to take you with me," Lin Feng said, his face darkening. Cai Qingni had been blocking their way and talking to Xie Siya, which was incredibly annoying. They were still trying to get back to interrogate her and then hand over their shift. It was already so late, the sky was practically falling. If they delayed any longer, did he want them to work overtime? They would definitely hate him! Why wasn't he at home enjoying his wife's company instead of working overtime here? He wasn't crazy yet.
Cai Qingni glanced at Wang Gang and said, "Wang Gang, are you a dead man?"
"I'm sorry, I... I can guarantee Miss Xie won't be bullied inside—she'll be treated fairly!" Wang Gang felt a pang of guilt. He was just a low-ranking deputy captain, his position even lower than Guan Ling's behavior in front of Lin Feng. Moreover, he was new to the job, forcibly brought in by Director Zheng Guo to establish his own faction. But it wasn't that easy. The Public Security Bureau was already a tightly controlled territory managed by Zhao Yunlong and Lin Feng, filled with their people. Even if Wang Gang forced his way in, he'd only be sidelined; his power was extremely limited.
"You, you have to understand my predicament. I really can't do anything. You know my current situation—I'm all name and no substance, with very little power. But as long as I have a way, I will do my best." Wang Gang saw the anger on Cai Qingni's face and his heart clenched with fear. He immediately pulled Cai Qingni aside and whispered an explanation to her.
Cai Qingni wasn't incompetent; she had simply lost her composure in her anger and anxiety. Now, after the ordeal and Wang Gang's reminder, she had regained her composure and clarity, her breathing gradually settling down. She gave Li Yang a cold glare and sneered, "Li Yang, you wait." Turning back, she adopted a gentle smile and said softly, "Siya, hold on. I won't let you in. Wait for my good news~"
"Yes. I believe you~" Xie Siya nodded emphatically, her eyes filled with happiness. Suddenly, she realized that what she had initially thought of as entering the police station as entering hell no longer felt that way. It was now a place where her unwavering love had been witnessed, filled with romance.
Cai Qingni left, and Li Yang and the others got into the police car, which sped away back to the police station. As soon as they arrived at the station entrance, they saw a portly man in a gleaming police uniform standing there. Judging by the stars on his shoulders, he was clearly a high-ranking officer. He was slightly balding, and his face was filled with anxiety and a grim expression. Lin Feng got out of the car and rushed over, immediately berating him, "Lin Feng, what the hell are you doing?"
"What do you mean I'm up to something? What happened to me?" Lin Feng had no respect for Zheng Guo. "Damn it, you're only half a rank higher than me, so what? This whole police station is my brother, who do you think you are, yelling at me like that?"
Seeing Lin Feng's disdainful gaze, Zheng Guo suddenly snapped back to reality. He realized that he had been so anxious and angry that he had been scolded by Cai Qingni, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He had rushed out without thinking, wanting to solve the crisis for Cai Qingni and show his loyalty, forgetting Lin Feng's identity and his own strength.
His eyes darted around; he had already received news of Cai Qingni and knew how to handle the current crisis. That was to relentlessly pursue the matter of Li Yang's intentional assault, while delaying Xie Siya's attempted murder case as long as possible.
"Lin Feng, what mission did you go on? Are you aware that a very serious criminal case just occurred in the city?" Zheng Guo asked in a calm and unhurried tone.
"I don't know. I'm all alone, I can't split myself up, and no one notified me. I just pick the most important, urgent, and dangerous cases to handle. There's an attempted murder case here. Bring them all over~" Lin Feng waved to Guan Ling and said. Now, in the criminal investigation team, Guan Ling is undoubtedly his number one confidant.
Guan Ling walked over, handcuffing Xie Siya, with her hands on her hips. Li Yang and Cao Xin followed behind. Li Yang saw Zheng Guo and overheard their conversation. He sneered inwardly. A conversation at such a short distance couldn't escape his ears. Zheng Guo, it seems you're trying to pull some tricks. I'll be waiting for you to cause trouble!
Chapter 925: Let the Ghosts Howl
"What? You think you can just say you don't know?" Zheng Guo sneered and looked at Lin Feng, clearly looking for trouble.
"What's wrong? Are the charges of intentional assault and attempted murder serious? Besides, the person who was assassinated is a big shot in Jiangdong City. We must treat this with utmost care. If Director Zheng thinks it's necessary, you can personally form a special task force to handle your so-called intentional assault case." Lin Feng wasn't going to listen to Zheng Guo's reprimand. He looked down on Zheng Guo. If he hadn't been sucking up to others, how could he have risen to his position? He used to be just a nobody, a small team leader under him. Suddenly he's been promoted to police chief. It's ridiculous.
"You, fine, very well. You said it yourself, and I'm telling you, I'm really going to set up a special task force to investigate this matter. Let me tell you, this is a big deal. The person who was hurt is the heir to the Longteng Group, the Longteng Group that just invested tens of millions in the city to set up a new branch. Do you understand? He just came to Jiangdong City with a huge investment, and the general manager was maliciously harmed right here. What does this show? It shows that the public security in Jiangdong City is very problematic, and the investment environment is terrible. Mr. Zuo Yongchun, the chairman of the Longteng Group, has already called to question us. He is very angry and demands a thorough investigation and severe punishment for the criminals. Do you know how serious this situation is? Secretary Cai, the municipal party secretary, has personally called to express his great concern and demand that all resources be concentrated to give Chairman Zuo an explanation as quickly as possible!" Zheng Guo shouted excitedly at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng shrugged as if nothing had happened, his expression indifferent and calm, and said casually, "Director Zheng, you seem very excited and concerned. Then go ahead and handle it. Didn't you want to thoroughly investigate this matter? Go ahead~ Did I stop you? Besides, you are the director and I am the deputy director. How could I possibly stop you?"
"You, you'd better not stop me. I need to form a new task force, and I need officers from your criminal investigation team. They are experienced and can help solve cases quickly. Give Secretary Cai an explanation as soon as possible," Zheng Guo said, staring at Lin Feng. Clearly, this was his goal: to have Lin Feng's team form a new task force. It could be said that the most elite part of the Public Security Bureau was Lin Feng's criminal investigation team. Only this team could solve cases quickly. Moreover, he already knew who had committed the assault, but he really couldn't make an arrest. He felt this case was extremely difficult. Although Secretary Cai was backing him, that person was Mayor Ye's man, and Mayor Ye would definitely protect him. Getting Li Yang done wouldn't be so easy for them.
"My people? Pick whoever you want. Even I'm one of your men, so they are even more so. Director Zheng, don't talk like that, making it seem like I'm sidelining you. If you want to transfer people, you can just issue an order. Besides, each branch and team has elite officers; you can easily draw them from there, can't you?" Lin Feng said with a nonchalant, insincere smile.
