Chapter 1005: Chapter 997: A Bit Too Much
“I don’t know what happened either; neither of them told anything, insisting on waiting for you to co back,” said Hua’s father.
“You at least have to let us know why you’re arresting us, right? Just grabbing people like this is illegal,” said Xiao Yifei. In fact, he had already guessed the specifics of the matter, but he hadn’t anticipated it would co so quickly.
“Here’s the arrest warrant. Our Police Departnt still has to follow legal procedures when handling affairs. Can you co with us now?” One of the officers said after hearing Xiao Yifei, taking out an arrest warrant to show him.
“We’re not clear on the specifics either; we’re just carrying out orders from higher-ups. We hope you won’t make things difficult for us,” said the officer. In truth, they didn’t know the exact reason either; they just received such an order when they reported to work this afternoon. They’re just the ssengers; what can they do?
“But I don’t even know what cri I’ve committed. Don’t you think this is a bit too much?” Xiao Yifei replied, wondering if there’s still any law and justice left in this world. Does having power truly allow one to control everything? Can the law be trampled on by these people at will?
Xiao Yifei wanted to take out his phone to call Mr. Deng, but just as he pulled out his phone, the two officers, quick as a flash, stepped forward, taking the phone from his hand while the other grabbed his hands and pinned them behind his back. They acted so fast that Xiao Yifei couldn’t react in ti.
It wasn’t until the last mont, when Xiao Yifei wanted to resist, that he realized he couldn’t muster any strength.
“We’re just following orders, so please don’t make things difficult for us. Otherwise, we’ll have to be impolite,” said one of the officers.
Then they shoved and pushed Xiao Yifei out of the house. Another officer told Hua’s father, “You should co with us too. Seeing that you’re not in good health, I won’t tie you up.”
Hua’s father had no choice but to follow them. He vaguely understood that the Police Departnt’s visit was definitely still related to the theft of Xiao Yifei’s belongings. He firmly believed that Xiao Yifei was a good person but couldn’t understand why a good person was always being frad and used by bad people.
Given the current situation, he estimated that his daughter’s days at the Police Departnt wouldn’t be easy either. Now that they had such authority to arrest him without any reason, they certainly could also cause his daughter trouble. A little sabotage at work could easily plunge a young girl just starting her career into a work crisis.
Hua’s father couldn’t help but worry. He himself didn’t mind; in today’s legal society, they probably wouldn’t easily do anything to him. But his daughter, whose life was just beginning, he didn’t dare to think further.
Xiao Yifei was also worried about Hua Xiangrong. Given that the Police Departnt officers even took Hua’s father, soone unrelated, then surely Hua Xiangrong wouldn’t be exempt from involvent. Who knows how those people would make things difficult for her?
Xiao Yifei thought, why is life so difficult? His requirents were not high; he just hoped to retrieve his belongings. Yet in this world, even such a simple wish couldn’t be fulfilled. And he really wanted to know who the mastermind was, why they always hid in the shadows and didn’t co forward themselves to do these things. Hiding in the shadows, what’s the point?
“Do you really not know why you’re arresting us?” Sitting in the car, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but ask one of the seemingly more approachable officers.
“I really don’t know. Our leader just told us to co and arrest you two; as for the exact reason, I’m not sure. But after eting a man today, our leader told us to arrest you,” the officer said.
The other officer clearly thought his partner was speaking too much and couldn’t help but cough, making the first officer hesitant to say more. It seems they genuinely didn’t know the reason. Silence resud in the car.
So it seems his guess was correct, but he still didn’t know who the formidable person was, Xiao Yifei thought.
He himself didn’t mind being arrested; Mr. Deng would surely find a way to get him out later. But because of his involvent, Hua’s father had to suffer alongside him, and he felt really bad about it.
Hua’s father seed to see through Xiao Yifei’s thoughts and said to him, “Don’t overthink it and don’t feel guilty. It’s just going to the Police Departnt; there’s nothing to be afraid of. But you, think about what to do next. You’ve offended such people, and your future days won’t be easy. You shouldn’t have anything to do with such people. Once there’s a connection, it’ll be tough to break off.”
“Sigh, but they’re the ones who ca to trouble . I don’t know how I ended up being targeted by them, but I still dragged you two into this, and I’m really very sorry,” Xiao Yifei said.
“There’s no need for such polite words between us. Life is inherently tough, so we should help each other. Don’t feel guilty; I’ll surely need your help in the future, and we’ll even things out then,” Hua’s father consoled.
As Xiao Yifei and Hua’s father were being taken away, Hua Xiangrong also experienced a rollercoaster of emotions in her life. She was handling a case, not a big one, so it didn’t take her long to solve it. Just as she was happy about solving another case, she received a call from her boss.
“Co to my office now; I have sothing important to tell you,” her boss’s voice was icy through the phone, devoid of any emotion.
After hanging up the phone, Hua Xiangrong, wondering what it was that her boss wanted to discuss, quickly walked to the boss’s office. Her boss was an impatient person, who hated people dawdling the most. Even being a minute late would provoke his wrath.
“Boss, what’s the urgent matter you need for?” Hua Xiangrong asked, still unaware of the news she was about to hear.
“You’ve been performing very well lately, and our superiors have noticed it. They’ve all said that you’re a diligent and serious person, and we like you very much,” said the boss.
Suddenly, these words sounded familiar to Hua Xiangrong. She rembered that back in school, during parent-teacher etings, teachers always started with similar complints for the parents of poorly behaved students.
“Your child is very obedient, always performs well…” If you’ve attended many parent-teacher etings, you’ve likely heard this from every teacher.
But after the praise, there’s always a “but,” and what follows can make a teacher talk non-stop for two hours.
The current scenario made Hua Xiangrong feel like she was back in high school during parent-teacher etings.
Hearing familiar words from her boss’s mouth, Hua Xiangrong braced herself for the worst.
“Boss, just tell directly, what mistake did I make?” Hua Xiangrong directly asked.
