"Why are you handcuffing Brother Chen? There's no proof he committed a crime!"
Upon hearing that Chen Xiao was to be handcuffed, Luo Xi's fiery temper flared uncontrollably.
Tong Jinjian let out a cold snort, "Why? Because he's a dangerous person. That alone is enough. Luo Xi, if you're not satisfied, don't talk to me. Go talk to Captain Lin!"
"You... you're despicable!"
When Tong Jinjian used Captain Lin to pressure her, Luo Xi, though furious, was helpless!
"Who are you calling despicable?"
Tong Jinjian's temper also ignited!
"I'm calling you despicable, what of it? Want to handcuff me too? At worst, I'll quit!"
Luo Xi gritted her teeth, like an angry kitten.
Tong Jinjian snorted coldly, "Hmph, I don't stoop to the level of women!"
At this moment, Chen Xiao said softly, "Forget it, Xixi. Just handcuff me."
"Brother Chen..."
Luo Xi looked guilty.
Chen Xiao smiled faintly and said, "It's fine. Handcuff me now, and I'll have that guy surnamed Lin personally take them off later!"
Chen Xiao had at least a hundred ways to deal with the guy surnamed Lin. As long as the other party dared to meet him, he was fully confident!
Hearing this, Tong Jinjian immediately sneered mockingly, "Captain Lin will personally take them off for you? You can dream on!"
Yang Zhen ignored him. Such a minor figure wasn't worth his time.
Luo Xi reluctantly took out the handcuffs and fastened them onto Chen Xiao's wrists.
Chen Xiao noticed that the handcuffs from the Demon Suppression Division were different from ordinary ones. They bore a powerful talisman. Such a talisman could only be crafted by a Golden Core stage cultivator at least.
It seemed the Demon Suppression Division truly had some formidable individuals!
Seeing Chen Xiao handcuffed, Tong Jinjian felt relieved. Just as he was about to leave, Chu Luo quickly called out, "Don't go! What will happen to me if you leave? I don't think there's anything for me here anymore. Can I be let go?"
Chu Luo assumed that since Tong Jinjian had caught the big fish, Chen Xiao, he wouldn't keep him locked up any longer.
However, he clearly overestimated Tong Jinjian's mercy. Tong Jinjian glanced at him and said coldly, "Handcuff this kid too!"
With that, he slammed the door and left!
"I'll be damned..."
Chu Luo had ten thousand unspoken curses in his heart.
Witnessing this scene, Chen Xiao burst into laughter, "What an unlucky kid!"
Luo Xi, however, said with a guilty expression, "Brother Chen, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for dragging you into this. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be in this predicament today..."
"How is this your fault? Why do you take all the blame onto yourself?"
Chen Xiao asked, completely perplexed.
Luo Xi pouted, "If I hadn't pestered Uncle Hao in the first place, he wouldn't have introduced you to me, and none of this would have happened... And if I hadn't gone to the recruitment fair today, you wouldn't have gotten involved!"
Chen Xiao laughed heartily, "You're making so much sense, I don't even know how to refute you."
After the joke, Chen Xiao comforted her, "Don't worry. You know my abilities. Besides, my conscience is clear, so nothing will happen..."
"You mean 'the righteous need not fear the crooked'?"
Chu Luo corrected him.
Chen Xiao glanced at him, "Why are you talking so much!"
Just then, Chen Xiao's phone suddenly rang. He struggled to pull his phone out of his pocket.
Looking at the screen, it was Mayor Mo.
Chen Xiao was slightly taken aback. Why would Mayor Mo call him? Could it be that he already knew he was arrested and wanted to bail him out?
However, Chen Xiao quickly dismissed the thought. After all, he had only just been arrested. Even if Captain Lin were to report it, it wouldn't be that fast. Mayor Mo couldn't possibly know.
Moreover, given the nature of the Demon Suppression Division, Mayor Mo might not be able to interfere with this organization anyway.
Regardless, he should answer the call first.
"Hello, Mayor Mo. What made you think of calling me? Is something up?"
After the call connected, Chen Xiao asked directly.
Mayor Mo chuckled, "Mr. Chen is indeed a divine doctor, possessing foresight. That's right, I do have something I need your help with."
"Mayor Mo, you don't need to be so polite with me. Just tell me what it is!"
Chen Xiao replied readily.
Mayor Mo said directly, "It's like this, I'd like to ask you to see a patient for me. Are you available now?"
Chen Xiao gave a wry smile, "It might be a bit inconvenient right now, as I've been arrested."
"What? Mr. Chen, how did you get arrested out of the blue?"
Mayor Mo was greatly alarmed. "Who has such audacity to arrest you?"
Chen Xiao stated the facts, "It's people from the Demon Suppression Division."
"What? The Demon Suppression Division?"
Mayor Mo was shocked again, then lowered his voice, "Mr. Chen, tell me the truth. Have you done anything that endangers national security or the interests of the people?"
"No, I just..."
Chen Xiao briefly explained the situation. The Mayor Mo on the other end was so angry he slammed the table.
"This is outrageous! They arrested someone just for stealing a few loaves of bread? And you were only speaking up for the thief, why arrest you too? Mr. Chen, please bear with it for a moment, I'll call the Demon Suppression Division right away! I'll have them release you!"
Chen Xiao was slightly stunned and asked, "Mayor Mo, does the Demon Suppression Division report to you?"
Mayor Mo said proudly, "Although the Demon Suppression Division doesn't report to me, this is Jiangcheng after all, and as the mayor of Jiangcheng, I won't stand by and watch my citizens being bullied. Don't worry about this matter, I'll call their superiors right now. This is simply unacceptable!"
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 in a Zhongshan suit was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.
He was Lin Cheng, the captain of the Jiangcheng branch of the Demon Suppression Division, and the highest leader of the Jiangcheng branch.
He had just finished a phone call and his face was filled with smugness.
Being able to arrest Chen Xiao was definitely a great joy for him. He had been looking for an excuse to arrest Chen Xiao, and unexpectedly, Chen Xiao had walked right into his trap.
Moreover, he hadn't expected that Chen Xiao, who was rumored to not even give face to the Underworld King's Palace, would be so obedient, allowing himself to be handcuffed so easily.
Just as he was humming a triumphant tune, Mayor Mo's call came through.
"Hello, Captain Lin? I heard that a doctor named Chen Xiao was arrested by your Demon Suppression Division. Is that true?"
Mayor Mo asked directly.
Lin Cheng was slightly taken aback, wondering how Mayor Mo knew about this.
However, he still replied truthfully, "That's correct, Chen Xiao was arrested by our Demon Suppression Division. Does Mayor Mo have any instructions?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Mayor Mo's stern voice, "I order you to release him immediately within ten minutes!"
