The person who walked in from outside was none other than the chief of Jiangnan City Police Bureau, Wang Li.
At this mont, the pot-bellied man was sowhat flustered.
The director was an important figure, the leading authority of the Jiangnan Police Bureau. With a stamp of Wang Li's foot, the entire Jiangnan City would shudder in response.
Clutching the military ID card Ding Fan had thrown at him and pondering the director's arrival, the pot-bellied man began to feel that the situation might not be as simple as he had thought.
"Uncle Wang... you've arrived?" As soon as the police bureau's director entered, Lin Yuanjie went straight up to greet him.
Lin Yuanjie's father and the police chief were like brothers, and Lin Yuanjie had always referred to Wang Li as uncle.
While Lin Yuanjie was greeting Director Wang, his eyes swept towards Ding Fan, wanting to demonstrate to Ding Fan right then and there.
That in Jiangnan City, there was no situation he couldn't handle, even with the arrival of the police chief—it was still his uncle...
However, Wang Li, after pushing through the crowd and coming in, didn't pay any attention to Lin Yuanjie's greetings, as if he hadn't heard them at all.
Lin Yuanjie, who was trailing behind, was taken aback. Normally, Wang Li would greet him with laughter and pleasantries, but today's indifference was unusual.
Frowning, Lin Yuanjie had a premonition that things might not go well.
Wang Li walked straight up to Liu Qingwei.
The tall man and several bodyguards were all on high alert watching Wang Li, ready to rush forward at the first sign of any harm coming to Liu Qingwei.
Stopping two or three steps away from Liu Qingwei, Wang Li finally halted and said, "Miss Liu, I'm sorry you've been startled. I heard you were transferring to Jiangnan City, so I ca personally to welco you, but I did not expect such an incident to occur."
The people present, including the pot-bellied man, nearly had their eyeballs pop out of their sockets in shock.
After all, Director Wang was the top figure in Jiangnan City's police system, and such an influential figure was here to personally welco a young woman in her early twenties...
Everyone present was no fool. Anyone who could prompt the city's police chief to welco them personally couldn't be soone simple.
"What happened? Why have you detained Miss Liu? If you can't provide a reason and you are rely misusing public office for private gain and seeking personal revenge, then I absolutely won't let you guys off!" Wang Li said with a stern face to the pot-bellied man on the side.
Having been around the official circles for many years, the pot-bellied man could see the deeper implications of Wang Li's actions.
Wang Li's stance was clear; he had no intention of giving Lin Yuanjie any face.
Wang Li taking a stand to handle Ding Fan, Liu Qingwei, and Ruoran was mainly to assist Lin Yuanjie. Now, with the chief personally asking the pot-bellied man, the latter felt quite unable to withstand the pressure.
The pot-bellied man turned his head to look at Lin Yuanjie on the side.
Since the issue started because of Lin Yuanjie, it was only natural for the pot-bellied man to turn to him for help now that there was trouble.
However, what infuriated the pot-bellied man at the mont was that Lin Yuanjie was tilting his head, eyes seemingly focused elsewhere. From this behavior, Ding Fan understood that the other party clearly did not want to deal with the matter at hand.
When Wang Li's face turned stern, even the mayor dared not confront him. At this mont Wang Li's expression had beco solemn, and his tone was even more severe, so Lin Yuanjie naturally didn't dare to stretch his neck out any further.
The pregnant man cursed darkly to himself upon seeing this, thinking that he had been sticking his neck out for Lin Yuanjie. Now, when trouble arose, Lin Yuanjie was ready to throw him under the bus as a scapegoat...
"Director, this citizen reported these three individuals as illegal border-crossers. Later, when we wanted to verify their identities, conflicts arose," the pregnant man reported the situation straightforwardly. The citizen who had made the report was none other than Lin Yuanjie.
Wang Li glanced at Lin Yuanjie standing beside him.
While Wang Li was furious, Lin Yuanjie was indeed very afraid of him, and involuntarily started to tremble.
However, after a brief mont of panic, Lin Yuanjie seed to suddenly rember sothing. "Uncle Wang... this person brazenly assaulted a police officer!"
As he spoke, Lin Yuanjie pointed at Ding Fan, who was standing nearby.
Upon hearing this, Wang Li looked at the pregnant man. After all, the pregnant man had been in charge here. "What happened just now?"
After hearing Wang Li's question, the pregnant man didn't say much; he simply picked up the military ID that Ding Fan had thrown at him, and respectfully presented it beside Wang Li.
Wang Li was taken aback. He took the military ID handed to him with one hand and glanced over it briefly. After a couple of glances, Wang Li's expression twisted in astonishnt.
"Uncle Wang, this person is sneaky. I caught him while he was changing clothes—he's a stowaway. And then he even brazenly assaulted the police. Without ntioning anything else, just for assaulting an officer, he should be severely punished," the nearby Wang Li babbled on.
"What evidence do you have to prove that he's a stowaway?" Wang Li's tone changed as he turned and addressed Lin Yuanjie.
Lin Yuanjie was taken aback by Wang Li's firm words, which didn't seem to be in his favor at all.
"This… I don't have any at the mont… but I suspect…" Lin Yuanjie stamred.
"Suspect? You're an ordinary citizen and you think a re suspicion is enough to mobilize the police?" Wang Li said, and then waved his hand dismissively at the nearby officers.
"Take him away and cuff him, for disturbing public order and inciting trouble! Lock him up!" Wang Li declared loudly.
"What..." Lin Yuanjie was completely flabbergasted.
Lin Yuanjie had thought that once Wang Li arrived, Ding Fan would be imdiately arrested. But to his surprise, Wang Li not only refrained from catching Ding Fan but instead ordered his n to arrest Lin Yuanjie!
Click-clank, as soon as Wang Li finished speaking, a police officer approached, without any explanation, handcuffed Lin Yuanjie on the spot.
"Uncle Wang... what... what's going on?" Lin Yuanjie was bewildered at this mont.
Lin Yuanjie truly didn't understand why Ding Fan wasn't arrested and instead, he himself was being detained.
"There's no Uncle Wang here. If you keep trying to cozy up to the law enforcent officers with nonsense, I won't mind detaining you for a few more days!" Wang Li said sternly to Lin Yuanjie.
After dropping those words, Wang Li walked directly to Ding Fan's side. "Commander, your credentials..."
