"Furthermore, Qin Chuan, you are suspected of involvement in a brawl and provoking disturbances. You will have to come with us for investigation."
Nan Hongya said with a cold tone.
When these words fell, Qin Chuan didn't react much, but everyone else in the ward became anxious.
Qin Chuan was their true pillar. If even Qin Chuan were taken away, they would be truly in danger.
"This has nothing to do with our boss. Everything was our own decision!"
"If you want to arrest someone, arrest us!"
"That's right, come and arrest me. I was the organizer tonight."
On the hospital bed, Bai Xiaoguang and Yao Dong, who were wrapped in bandages, reacted fiercely, scrambling to volunteer for the investigation.
Nan Hongya swept them with his icy gaze and sneered, "You don't need to scramble. Don't worry, none of you will escape tonight. You all have to come with me for an investigation."
Facing the overwhelmingly strong Nan Hongya, everyone in the ward was extremely angry. Had Nan Hongya taken drugs today?
However, they were civilians, and he was a soldier. It was an age-old saying that civilians do not contend with soldiers, especially in such circumstances.
"Director Nan, I was there to break up a fight, not to gather a crowd or provoke disturbances. Many people were present who can testify for me."
Qin Chuan explained.
"Whether you were involved in a brawl or not, we will investigate thoroughly once you return with us."
Nan Hongya's stance was very firm.
Qin Chuan took a deep breath. "Alright! I can go with you, but I have one condition."
"My brothers are seriously injured and cannot withstand much more trouble. Even if an investigation is necessary, can it be done here at the hospital?"
Although Qin Chuan was speaking to Nan Hongya, his eyes swept over Zhou Zongrong and Xiao Guodong.
Noticing Qin Chuan's gaze, Zhou Zongrong stepped forward. "Of course, there's no problem. The law clearly stipulates that suspects or criminals with injuries can receive treatment first, but under police surveillance."
"Boss!!"
"Xiao Chuan!!"
Yao Dong, Bai Xiaoguang on the hospital bed, as well as Qin Gang and Qin Yang, all showed expressions of extreme anxiety.
Qin Chuan grinned, his demeanor calm and composed. "Cooperating with the people's police in their investigation is the duty and responsibility of every citizen. Everyone, please rest assured. I believe the people's police will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will they let a bad person go."
"In twenty-four hours, I will see you all again."
With that, Qin Chuan put his arm around Zheng Chengdao's shoulder. "Brother Dao, my brother and I will go to the police station as guests together."
"Good!"
Zheng Chengdao smiled broadly and walked out with Qin Chuan.
Someone tried to handcuff Zheng Chengdao during their exit, but before they could get close, they were secretly pulled back.
Watching them walk out, chatting and laughing with such ease, anyone unaware of the real situation would never imagine they were involved in a homicide case.
Amidst the dark night, police sirens wailed as they left the hospital.
It was fortunate that it was late at night. Otherwise, if someone of Qin Chuan's stature were taken away by the police during the day, it would undoubtedly have caused a tremendous uproar.
At the police station, after Qin Chuan and Zheng Chengdao arrived, they were separated.
Qin Chuan was assigned to a detention room.
Zhou Zongrong and Xiao Guodong walked in together and sat opposite him, both with dark expressions on their faces.
"Tell us, what exactly is going on?"
Xiao Guodong took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, offered one to Qin Chuan, and then lit one himself and Zhou Zongrong. They both took a deep drag.
"Didn't I tell you long ago that if you've decided to be a legitimate businessman, you shouldn't venture into those gray areas? It only brings you harm, no good. Why do you never listen?"
Xiao Guodong scolded loudly with a tone of disappointment.
"And each time the situation gets more serious. This time, it's even resulted in a death."
Qin Chuan smoked, his expression calm. "My people did not kill anyone!"
"This time, it's clearly a frame-up by the Han family!"
Zhou Zongrong sneered. "You say it's a frame-up. Do you have any evidence?"
"I was just about to send people to investigate when you arrived. In such a short time, I'm not a god, how could I find evidence of Han Shifei framing me?"
Qin Chuan retorted.
"This was clearly planned by the Han family in advance. He knew I wouldn't sit idly by, so he reported me, accusing me of gathering a crowd and provoking disturbances, leading to your arrest."
"This way, he can control everything outside at will, whether it's destroying evidence or helping people escape, he has ample time."
After Qin Chuan's words, Zhou Zongrong and Xiao Guodong frowned in silence, their expressions thoughtful.
"Qin Chuan, tell us in detail about the conflict between you and Han Shifei tonight... no, over these past few days!"
After a long pause, Xiao Guodong spoke.
Qin Chuan didn't hesitate and immediately recounted the entire ordeal of his second brother being deliberately injured and the other party setting a trap. This was because, on this occasion, his side was indeed the victim.
Upon hearing Qin Chuan say that the Han family had hired professional hired thugs from out of town and had also held Bai Xiaoguang and Yao Dong captive, Xiao Guodong glanced at Zhou Zongrong. Both sensed the seriousness of the matter.
"If I were you, I wouldn't just focus on me. You should pay more attention to Han Shifei."
"At the same time, quickly identify the deceased Ding Xu and his two followers. These three are incredibly powerful and by no means ordinary individuals. I suspect their identities are definitely not simple."
Qin Chuan stated.
"Director Zhou, I'll go make arrangements!"
Xiao Guodong immediately stood up.
"Go ahead!"
Zhou Zongrong nodded.
"Captain Xiao, please look after my brothers for me. Don't let them be mistreated."
As Xiao Guodong was leaving, Qin Chuan called out.
"Rest assured, with us here, that won't happen."
Xiao Guodong strode out of the interrogation room.
In another interrogation room not far from Qin Chuan's, Zheng Chengdao was being held.
The setup here was much stricter than Qin Chuan's. Not only were there guards at the door, but inside, four professional staff members were interrogating Zheng Chengdao, the "murderer," collectively.
However, no matter how they questioned him, Zheng Chengdao sat steadily in his chair, handcuffed, unmoved, repeating the same sentence: "I didn't kill anyone!"
This deliberate behavior enraged the interrogators, nearly causing them to lose their tempers.
However, considering Zheng Chengdao's special status, especially with the currently most prominent Qin Chuan backing him, the interrogators could only suppress their anger.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate. If Zheng Chengdao made things difficult for them, they would absolutely not make things easy for Zheng Chengdao.
The interrogators took turns, employing various questions and provocations, simply not allowing Zheng Chengdao to sleep.
