Chapter 137 Not Forgiving

Chen Yuan never thought things would develop to this point.

Zheng Qi’s so-called big brother actually came looking for him after smoking weed.

Not only did he smoke it, but he even carried it on him.

He was dying of laughter at this kind of idiot being the villain.

If he hadn't carried that stuff on him, Chen Yuan wouldn't have been so sure.

What he initially wanted to do was indeed give him a good beating when no one was around. Then, using Future Vision, he'd create a scenario where the other guy attacked first, and he only retaliated in self-defense, the moment the police arrived.

It could only be said that someone was offering a pillow just when he was getting sleepy – it was too perfect.

"Hiss… look, could it be?"

Just as one male police officer was holding down Han Dongcheng, he suddenly noticed something. The other man's eyes were too cloudy, and bloodshot, and his state wasn't right. So, he asked the old police officer who was putting on the handcuffs warily.

"Xiao Li, search him," the old police officer said.

Then, Li Tong squatted down and rummaged through his pockets before pulling out a clear bag. Inside were three rolled-up leaves: "Weed, it should be."

Han Dongcheng closed his eyes in pain, as desperate as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Damn it, I'm done for!

I should have hidden the stuff I didn't finish smoking last night in the KTV. Now… damn it!

I'm finished, I'm dead meat.

Moreover, that attempted assault with a weapon just now, added on top of everything else, multiple crimes…

If I hadn't stabbed out with that knife, I wouldn't be done for.

This bastard is playing me for a fool. He must have called the police a long time ago!

This bastard even made me eat garbage…

No wonder, no wonder he didn't lay a hand on me himself.

Staring intently at Chen Yuan, Han Dongcheng finally understood that he had no injuries, he had eaten the garbage himself, Chen Yuan's slaps hadn't caused any minor injuries, and even the security camera was broken… Chen Yuan's initial plan was to send him to jail!

And he was as clean as a white lotus!

"Take out his phone and use facial recognition," the old police officer said again. "People who smoke weed like this usually have suppliers and are involved in buying and selling. See if he has any transaction income, whether he's a seller."

"No, I'm not a seller, I work at a KTV, a friend gave this to me…" Han Dongcheng quickly explained, "Someone else is selling it, I know. The money I receive is… tips that are given to me, I don't have any source of supply."

"Heh, doesn't being a middleman count as selling?"

The old police officer was amused, mocking him, "People make the big bucks, and you're helping them sell like an idiot, vouching for them. You've really lived your life in vain, how can you be so brainless?"

"Master… be careful," the young police officer quickly reminded the old police officer. The bodycam was on, and he shouldn't say things that were too subjective, especially insults.

"Ahem, take him away," the old police officer said.

"Young man, you come with us too, we need to take a statement," the young police officer also said.

"Oh, okay," Chen Yuan nodded, then reminded them, "Check his WeChat on his phone, it seems like he was hired by someone as a thug."

Then, Li Tong opened WeChat and saw his chat history with someone named Zheng Qi. She immediately exploded with anger: "This little beast should go in too!"

"Hey, hey, Li Tong," the young police officer reminded her for the second time, telling her to be careful not to say anything too subjective.

The old police officer analyzed the situation, saying, "So this Zheng Qi hired 'Brother Dongcheng' to give Chen Yuan a hard time. But this Zheng Qi is a high school student, so it's not easy to deal with him…"

"Anyone who is sixteen years old can bear criminal responsibility," Li Tong said seriously.

"But this matter is mainly this Dongcheng's problem. The other side may have a bit of incitement, but no harm was caused. Basically, it's just a criticism and education," the old police officer reminded Li Tong. Even if the other party was over sixteen, he was still a minor. Since he's a minor, don't expect to deal with him severely.

Moreover, as a result, no harm was caused.

He doesn't even count as an accomplice.

And Han Dongcheng's main problem is actually outside of this incident—smoking and dealing drugs.

However, he could see that Li Tong was very angry.

And when she got out of the car, she was overly eager.

So, he turned off the bodycam and asked, "This young man?"

"…" Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Tong.

Li Tong closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then opened her eyes and said, "People like this, who hire underworld thugs to injure people with weapons, shouldn't they be dealt with seriously? Otherwise, when he comes out of school, wouldn't he be supplying criminals to society…"

"I'm asking what your relationship is," the old police officer interrupted.

"…" Li Tong was rendered speechless, then said in a low voice, "Younger brother."

Hearing her say that, the old police officer began to feel confused, because Li Tong's younger brother had already passed away. After observing the two of them, he finally understood.

Zheng Qi recognized an underworld boss as his big brother.

Chen Yuan recognized a police officer as his older sister.

As expected of a top student, his choice of relatives was much more rational than that of a small-time gangster.

"Understood."

The old police officer nodded slightly, then looked at the young police officer and said, "Summon this Zheng Qi and his parents to the police station, and go through civil mediation. Try to reach a settlement."

Hearing these words, everyone understood.

Civil mediation.

That means paying money.

Moreover, he had to obtain the understanding of the victim, Chen Yuan.

If the money wasn't enough and Chen Yuan refused to forgive him, it would be administrative detention plus a fine.

In fact, this kind of thing could be big or small. The small thing was that no actual losses were caused. But the big thing was, instigating and hiring (with invitations and enticing with hostesses) an armed assault, would be dealt with as an accomplice.

If this was a family member (younger brother) of a police officer, then the situation would be different.

Generally, it would be handled in the most serious way possible.

"Thank you, Master," Li Tong nodded gratefully.

"Thank you for what, let's go," the old police officer told Li Tong not to say anything unnecessary, then he and the young male police officer escorted the man into the car.

"Master, wait a moment, I have to tell Chen Yuan something."

"Then hurry up and come over, don't delay."

"Yes, yes!"

Li Tong nodded, then took Chen Yuan to the side, tightly gripping his arm, and said somewhat angrily, "What's wrong with you? Why do you keep putting yourself in dangerous situations? Why does this keep happening!"

Chen Yuan lowered his head, was silent for a while, and then said, "I'm sorry, I won't bother you again next time."

"What do you mean by that, did I say you were bothering me?"

Poking Chen Yuan's forehead with her finger, Li Tong felt that this child was either heartless, or deliberately putting on an act. She said somewhat dissatisfied, "You know I treat you like a younger brother, and you still say such hurtful things… Alright, next time you can go find someone else."

"Aren't you in charge of this district? Are you being transferred?" Chen Yuan asked.

"You, you're really too bad."

Li Tong felt that Chen Yuan was really terrible, but the key issue was that he had a firm grasp of her…

"Sister Tong, can you allow me to explain first?" Chen Yuan said.

"What did you call me?"

Li Tong's eyes lit up, like a donkey eating a tiny bit of carrot, filled with joy.

"Li Tong."

Damn it, I'm so used to calling out "Sister Jiao" and "Sister Fu" that I almost let her get her wish.

"Little brother, tell me, tell me," Li Tong said, restraining her smile and speaking seriously.

So, Chen Yuan explained, "In school, I encountered Zheng Qi and a few classmates bullying a younger student in the restroom, so I reported him for smoking. Later, he found out it was me and wanted to mess with me, but then he ran into the principal again and got severely dealt with. So, he called his big brother, that's how it is."

Chen Yuan said so much, just to prove: I didn't actively cause trouble.

And this was also very similar to her own younger brother.

He would bravely help the weak when they were being bullied.

"I know you have good intentions, I'm just worried about you," Li Tong nodded, then reminded him, "Then why, when he called you, did you really dare to go? He was hiding a knife, you know how dangerous it was just now?"

"I didn't want to go, but…"

Chen Yuan took out his phone, found the recording, and handed it to Li Tong.

Li Tong took the phone and opened the recording:

"I'm Zheng Qi's older brother, can I chat with you for a moment?"

"What do you think?"

"Your girlfriend is from Fourth High, right?"

"Okay, let's chat then."

After listening to this, Li Tong's first reaction was, "You really have a girlfriend?"

"Yeah, didn't I say that?"

Chen Yuan remembered that he had said it, he forgot which chapter, but he definitely said it.

"I thought you were so pure, you would blush even when girls complimented you, I thought you were just bragging… So you really have one." Li Tong's mood was very subtle.

It wasn't that she wasn't happy, it was just a bit too much of a contrast.

Someone mentioned it, and without even starting to threaten him, Chen Yuan went to the meeting alone. And the other party was the one with the knife.

Being love-struck made him lose his mind a little.

Because this recording could have been sent directly to herself, and then the police, which was herself, could have come forward and given that thug with a criminal record a stern warning.

"So… I have my reasons," Chen Yuan said somewhat helplessly.

"If you have something like this, you can just come to me, why did you go yourself?" Li Tong said sternly.

"You're a woman after all… a girl. I felt a bit inappropriate asking another woman for help with something about my girlfriend," Chen Yuan said very tactfully.

"Hmph, then why did you come to me? Couldn't you have called the police and asked someone else?" Li Tong could see through him.

This kid was trying to have it both ways.

He was both afraid of his girlfriend getting jealous, and felt that because he had a good relationship with herself, it was more reliable to ask her for help.

"Mainly I wanted to get you some business."

"What business, what do you take the people's police for?" Although Li Tong said this, it was true that…

Today's case was indeed not small.

Compared to the petty theft this morning, this was a big case.

"In short, thank you."

Chen Yuan showed a somewhat ingratiating smile, hoping that this woman wouldn't be offended.

"Hmph." Li Tong harrumphed again, then said in a sarcastic tone, "Your girlfriend is so lucky, being so well protected in complete ignorance. Even the police car was dispatched for her."

"Cough cough. Let's go, don't keep Master waiting for too long," Chen Yuan reminded her.

"Let's go."

Li Tong didn't dwell on the matter and turned around. However, just then, she suddenly remembered something, looked at Chen Yuan and said, "Send me a picture, let me see what kind of fairy she is."

………

Indeed, a fairy.

Sitting in her office, looking at the photo Chen Yuan sent her.

Inside was a girl sitting in the back of an electric scooter, resting her chin on his shoulder, the two of them face to face in a warm group photo…

Looking at the photo, Li Tong's brow gradually furrowed.

Finally, she couldn't help it anymore.

"She's not wearing a helmet."

Moreover, neither of them were wearing one.

What outlaws.

But aside from the fact that they weren't wearing helmets, this girl was really beautiful.

Although she didn't understand boys, she knew that every boy at this time would regard this kind of girl as a white moonlight.

Chen Yuan obviously had a very good girlfriend, his eyes were full of her.

And he, although he didn't directly show his happiness, it was very obvious that he also liked this girl very much, his expression was so relaxed, with a little doting.

Then, Li Tong opened another photo.

Inside was a hoodie girl with a bright smile, hugging his shoulders, and a tall boy with a look of complete disgust, completely unwilling to take a photo.

A complete difference in treatment.

How biased!

However, looking at it this way, they did have a bit of a sibling look. No matter what outsiders said about how beautiful the older sister was, in her younger brother's heart, she was a fierce dinosaur with a strong bite force.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Li Tong's lips.

Both photos were good.

As for being jealous?

She understood very well that she came later, and she was a person with a strong self-awareness.

So, being able to occasionally see Chen Yuan was very satisfying.

Although Li Tong didn't treat Chen Yuan as a substitute for Xiao Jie, she did treat him as a substitute for her younger brother.

Saving Chen Yuan was also redeeming her former self.

"The statement is done, take that younger brother back," at this time, the young male police officer walked to Li Tong's side, and said with a smile.

"Okay, got it."

Li Tong, not resisting being teased, stood up directly, picked up her car keys, walked to the waiting room, and said to Chen Yuan, "Let's go, I'll take you."

"By the way, how long will that man be sentenced for?" Chen Yuan asked curiously.

"What's wrong?"

"I think he's been to jail before, and then committed a crime again within five years, and he also smoked weed, shouldn't he be severely punished?" Chen Yuan continued to ask.

"Speak less slang."

Li Tong gently poked Chen Yuan's head with her finger like Uchiha Itachi, and then said, "It's certain that he'll be severely punished. According to the sentence, it will be at least five to eight years or more. Of course, this depends on the amount of money he was involved in with the smoking and dealing, if there's anything else, like ice, don't even mention five years, fifty years wouldn't be enough."

"Comfortable."

Chen Yuan was relieved, got up, and prepared to leave.

As the two walked into the hall, they suddenly heard loud vomiting sounds, lasting for a long time.

Then, two police officers passed by the two of them, chatting speechlessly.

"He insists that the high school student forced him to eat garbage, can you believe how outrageous that is?"

"But it's also a coincidence, the camera was struck by lightning, so there's no proof."

"What do you mean no proof, think about it, how could a high school student make a gangster eat garbage?"

"Yeah, who can tell who the gangster is anymore."

When her colleague said this, Li Tong looked at Chen Yuan suspiciously.

"What a master of humor." Chen Yuan just smiled indifferently.

But Li Tong felt that this kid might not be as pure as she thought.

He clearly reported to her before meeting Han Dongcheng.

If the other party really wanted to attack, he would have started long ago.

But obviously, it was Han Dongcheng's sudden anger after seeing the police, and then he attacked Chen Yuan.

It was as if Chen Yuan had gotten some hold on him, and humiliated him on the condition that he wouldn't call the police, which was why he was so angry when he saw the police…

If that's the case…

Then this Chen Yuan is too bad.

"Good children don't come to the police station often." Li Tong looked at Chen Yuan, reminding him, "You have to focus on your studies in the future, understand?"

Li Tong still preferred pure children.

"Okay, got it." Chen Yuan nodded, honestly.

He really couldn't be so reckless anymore.

If he continued like this, he would be just like the Grim Reaper high school student. Wherever he went, there would be cases.

Victory Team: You're never around when Ultraman Tiga appears, you wouldn't happen to be… a monster, would you?

"Okay, then I'll take you back."

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"

"Can you let me be troubled?" Li Tong asked teasingly, making a smile.

"…Okay."

Don't be like this, Tong Bao, my heart aches.

So, the two of them prepared to leave.

At this time, a burly and stern man, carrying a boy, broke into the hall, and loudly asked, "Is Chen Yuan here?"

Li Tong immediately became vigilant and protected Chen Yuan behind her.

At this time, Chen Yuan patted her shoulder, indicating that it was okay, then walked in front of her, looked at the man, and the trembling Zheng Qi who was being dragged along, with a pale face, and said, "I am."

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, the man kicked Zheng Qi in the calf, and roared, "Kneel down!"

Zheng Qi fell to the ground with a thud, then lowered his head, his face pale, cold sweat dripping.

Han Dongcheng was arrested for assault with a weapon.

And he was called home by a phone call from the police station, saying that he was suspected of instigating a crime, and was now going to the police station to be questioned.

Crime… these two words startled Zheng Qi into a cold sweat.

And he also heard that Han Dongcheng was suspected of drugs.

Although Zheng Qi had never participated, he had seen him playing with that kind of thing at Han Dongcheng's KTV.

At that time, he only had one thought, which was—his big brother is so cool.

But that cool big brother was arrested.

And it was when he was messing with Chen Yuan.

Not only was He Hongtao his backer, but this policewoman also protected him immediately.

Not only in school, but even in society, he has connections everywhere!

His awesome big brother wasn't even worth a fart…

Thinking of this, he felt a chill.

Slowly raising his head, looking at Chen Yuan who showed no emotion at all, he seemed to see the other party holding his head and questioning—Why are you fighting me, Chen Yuan?!

Seeing this, some police officers quickly gathered around, and one of the leaders said to Zheng Qi's father, "Don't do this in the station, let him stand up first. If there's anything, let's go to the mediation room to talk."

Hearing the words mediation room, Zheng Qi's father also understood the nature of the matter.

Looking at Chen Yuan, he said very seriously, "You can beat him, kick him, do whatever you want. I won't have any complaints even if you beat him half to death. As long as you can let off some steam, and forgive him… anything is fine."

Zheng Qi's father knew that this matter could be big or small.

It all depended on whether the victim signed a letter of understanding.

Of course, being expelled was certain.

The problem now was, don't go in.

As long as he doesn't go in, anything is fine.

At this time, others also looked at Chen Yuan, waiting for his response.

Chen Yuan, looking at the Shockwave who was blocking his way during the day, but was now as timid as a white sheet, said calmly, "I don't forgive."
