The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 311 Release Him
Luo Qian's fiery temper flared up the moment she heard Chen Xiao was going to be handcuffed.
Tong Jinjian snorted. "Why? Because he's a dangerous individual. That's reason enough. Luo Qian, if you're not convinced, don't tell me. Go talk to Captain Lin!"
"You… you're despicable!"
Luo Qian was furious that Tong Jinjian was using Captain Lin to suppress her, but she was also helpless.
"Who are you calling despicable?"
Tong Jinjian's temper flared as well!
"I'm talking about you! What are you going to do about it? Why don't you handcuff me too? The worst that can happen is I quit!"
Luo Qian gritted her teeth, like an angry kitten.
Tong Jinjian snorted. "Hmph, I don't argue with women!"
At that moment, Chen Xiao said faintly, "Forget it, Qianqian, just handcuff me."
"Brother Chen…"
Luo Qian looked guilty.
Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said calmly, "It's okay. You handcuff me now, and I'll make that Lin guy personally take them off for me later!"
Chen Xiao could deal with that Lin guy in at least a hundred different ways, as long as he dared to meet him. He was absolutely confident!
When Tong Jinjian heard this, he immediately sneered and mocked, "Captain Lin personally take them off for you? Keep dreaming!"
Yang Zhen ignored him. This kind of insignificant character wasn't worth wasting his breath on.
Luo Qian reluctantly took out the handcuffs and put them on Chen Xiao's wrists.
Chen Xiao noticed that the Xie Po Division's handcuffs were different from ordinary handcuffs. They had a powerful talisman on them, one that could only be made by a Jindan (Golden Core) stage expert at the very least.
It seemed that the Xie Po Division really did have some powerful people!
Seeing that Chen Xiao was handcuffed, Tong Jinjian felt relieved. Just as he was about to leave, Chu Luo quickly called out, "Don't go! What about me? I don't see anything for me to do here anymore, so can I go?"
Chu Luo thought that Tong Jinjian had caught Chen Xiao, this big fish, so he wouldn't keep him locked up anymore.
However, he had clearly overestimated Tong Jinjian's kindness. Tong Jinjian glanced at him and said coldly, "Handcuff this kid too!"
After saying that, he slammed the door and left!
"I'll be damned…"
Chu Luo had more than ten thousand swear words in his heart, unsure whether he should say them or not.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao laughed. "What an unlucky kid!"
Luo Qian said with a guilty expression, "Brother Chen, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for getting you involved. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be in this situation today…"
"What does this have to do with you? Why are you taking all the blame?"
Chen Xiao looked puzzled.
Luo Qian pouted and said, "If I hadn't bothered Uncle Hao in the first place, he wouldn't have introduced you to me, and none of those things would have happened… and if I hadn't gone to the job fair today, you wouldn't have been dragged into this either!"
Chen Xiao laughed. "You make so much sense, I don't even know how to argue with you."
After joking around, Chen Xiao comforted her, "Don't worry, don't you know my abilities? Besides, I'm not afraid even if the shoe is crooked, nothing will happen…"
"Don't you mean you're not afraid even if the shoe is crooked?"
Chu Luo corrected him.
Chen Xiao glanced at him. "You talk too much!"
Just then, Chen Xiao's phone suddenly rang. He struggled to take the phone out of his pocket.
When he looked at the screen, it was actually Mayor Mo calling.
Chen Xiao was slightly stunned. Why was Mayor Mo calling him? Did he already know he was arrested and wanted to bail him out?
However, Chen Xiao quickly dismissed the idea. After all, he had just been arrested, and even if that Captain Lin wanted to report it, he wouldn't report it so quickly. It was impossible for Mayor Mo to know.
Moreover, judging from the nature of the Xie Po Division, Mayor Mo might not even be able to control this organization.
In any case, he should answer the phone first.
"Hello, Mayor Mo, why did you think of calling me? Is there something you need?"
After the call connected, Chen Xiao asked directly.
Mayor Mo laughed. "Mr. Chen truly deserves to be called a divine doctor; you can even predict the future! That's right, there is indeed something I wanted to ask you for help with."
"Mayor Mo, you don't have to be so polite with me. Just tell me what's going on!"
Chen Xiao said straightforwardly.
Mayor Mo said directly, "It's like this. I'd like to ask you to take a look at someone for me. I'm not sure if it's convenient for you right now?"
Chen Xiao smiled bitterly. "It might not be very convenient right now, because I've been arrested."
"What? Mr. Chen, why were you arrested?"
Mayor Mo was shocked. "Who would be so bold as to arrest you?"
Chen Xiao told the truth. "It was the people from the Xie Po Division."
"What? The Xie Po Division?"
Mayor Mo was shocked again, then lowered his voice. "Mr. Chen, tell me the truth. Did you do anything to endanger national security or the interests of the people?"
"No, I just…"
Chen Xiao briefly explained what happened, and Mayor Mo on the other end was already so angry that he slammed the table.
"This is outrageous! They arrested someone just for stealing a few pieces of bread? And you were only saying a few words for that thief! Why did they arrest you too? Mr. Chen, please bear with it for a moment. I'll call the people from the Xie Po Division right away! I'll have them release you!"
Chen Xiao was slightly stunned and asked, "Mayor Mo, are you in charge of the Xie Po Division too?"
Mayor Mo said proudly, "Although the Xie Po Division is not under my jurisdiction, this is Jiang City after all, and as the local official of Jiang City, I won't stand idly by and watch my Jiang City citizens being bullied. Don't worry about this, I'll call their leader right away. This is outrageous!"
After Mayor Mo finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
At the same time, on the top floor of this building, in the general manager's office, a middle-aged man wearing a Zhongshan suit was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.
He was Lin Cheng, the captain of the Jiang City branch of the Xie Po Division, and also the highest leader of the Jiang City branch of the Xie Po Division.
He had just finished talking to someone on the phone, and his face was full of smugness.
Being able to arrest Chen Xiao and bring him to justice was definitely a great joy for him. He was worried about not having an excuse to arrest Chen Xiao, but he didn't expect Chen Xiao to come to his door himself.
Moreover, he also didn't expect Chen Xiao, who was rumored to not even give the King of Hell's Palace any face, to be so obedient, handcuffing himself when asked.
Just as he was humming a little tune in satisfaction, Mayor Mo's call came.
"Hello, Captain Lin? I heard that a doctor named Chen Xiao was arrested by your Xie Po Division. Is that true?"
Mayor Mo asked straight to the point.
Lin Cheng was slightly stunned, wondering how Mayor Mo knew about this.
But he still told the truth, "That's right, Chen Xiao was arrested by our Xie Po Division. Does Mayor Mo have any instructions?"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard Mayor Mo say in a firm tone, "I order you to release him immediately within ten minutes!"
