The sudden incident startled everyone.
Even though there weren’t many people at the intersection they passed,
a crowd of onlookers quickly gathered, each with an incredulous expression.
They seed shocked to witness a scene where police surrounded a suspect.
After all, to many, this sort of scene would only happen in a cri drama.
Su Li and her mother turned pale with fright.
However, Su Jianjun appeared calm and collected. He turned to Xu Wendong, curiously asking, "Did you do sothing heinous?"
Xu Wendong looked innocent. "Do I seem like the kind of person who disregards the law?"
Su Jianjun turned to the leading officer and asked, "Officer, what cri did Xu Wendong commit to warrant this public chase?"
The officer coldly snorted, "What’s your relationship with the suspect? You have no place speaking here, leave imdiately."
Su Jianjun said nothing more and slowly removed his mask.
At that instant, soone recognized him, gasping despite his transfer from the province. Many still knew him.
Su Jianjun turned to the officer, pale and shivering, "Can you now tell what cri Xu Wendong committed?"
The middle-aged man, coming back to his senses in shock, said nervously, "Sir, we received a tip-off that Xu Wendong was involved in an attack, the evidence is solid, and an official docunt for his arrest has been issued." He hurriedly presented the docunt to Su Jianjun.
But due to the slippery snowy road, he slipped to the roadside before reaching Su Jianjun.
He couldn’t help it.
Facing soone of Su Jianjun’s stature, few could withstand his authority.
Even if he no longer led at the provincial level,
many of his subordinates remained.
"What’s going on?" Confirming the arrest docunt’s authenticity, Su Jianjun eyed Xu Wendong with confusion.
Xu Wendong looked at the officer and asked, "Was it soone nad Chen Qing who reported ?"
"Yes." The officer replied truthfully, "Chen Qing has a video of you assaulting him, along with a dical report from the provincial hospital, so please cooperate and co with us for investigation!"
He didn’t understand why Xu Wendong was walking with Su Jianjun, but he knew Xu Wendong was not soone to offend.
That was why his attitude slightly shifted.
Xu Wendong shook his head with a smile. "I didn’t expect Chen Qing to play such a cunning ga."
He then turned to Su Jianjun, "Uncle Su, please go ahead to the restaurant and order. I’ll et you later."
"Alright." Su Jianjun didn’t interfere with Xu Wendong’s small issue.
Not because he didn’t want to,
but because he didn’t need to.
He knew Xu Wendong could handle it well.
"Can I make a call?" Xu Wendong politely asked the lead officer.
"You may."
Xu Wendong imdiately picked up his phone and called Liu Chunyang.
Liu Chunyang was a leading figure in state traditional Chinese dicine, chairman of the TCM Departnt, holding a weighty status in the dical field.
He beca an honorary senior lecturer in TCM at Liu Chunyang’s invitation.
Now, he was the honorary dean of the TCM departnt.
Once the call connected, Xu Wendong briefly explained, "Old Liu, I need you to check who issued the injury report from the third provincial hospital at 3:15 this afternoon, and if it’s standard!"
"Alright, wait for my call."
Xu Wendong acknowledged, then hung up and told the officer, "Tell your n to leave to avoid unnecessary attention."
"As for my case, there will be a resolution within five minutes."
Yang Jun used his walkie-talkie to send the others back, leaving just one police car and four officers on standby.
Xu Wendong, bored, lit a cigarette, intending to offer so to Yang Jun and others, but they refused, stating they couldn’t smoke while on duty.
Xu Wendong didn’t press further, smoking as he spoke, "While this video is real, the injury report might not be."
Yang Jun hesitated, then awkwardly said, "Judging by your actions, Chen Qing would certainly get injured."
"Heh!" Xu Wendong chuckled aloud, "I’m a doctor, if I wanted to teach soone a lesson, would I leave evidence against myself?"
"True." Changing the subject, Yang Jun continued, "But the injury report shouldn’t be wrong."
Xu Wendong grinned, "That’s not guaranteed!"
Three minutes later,
he answered a call from Liu Chunyang.
He put it on speaker as Liu Chunyang’s voice ca through, "Xiao Xu, I contacted Dean Feng from the third hospital; they did issue an injury report today."
"However, it wasn’t stamped."
Xu Wendong replied, "Alright, I understand."
After a few casual exchanges, Xu Wendong hung up and looked at Yang Jun, "The call was from Liu Chunyang, our province’s dical authority, do you trust him or a report without a stamp?"
Yang Jun straightened up, "Of course, I trust Mr. Liu!"
Yang Jun, a forr soldier who retired early due to injury, worked in police logistics until eting Liu Chunyang, who cured him.
Naturally, he had utmost faith in Liu Chunyang.
Xu Wendong said, "Let’s exchange numbers, if I need to cooperate, I’ll assist you imdiately. But before that, you should verify the injury report’s authenticity."
"If soone used a fake stamp, it’s a criminal case!"
Yang Jun replied earnestly, "Rest assured, we will investigate thoroughly."
After parting with Yang Jun, Xu Wendong arrived at a private restaurant, where Su Jianjun had finished ordering. Once Xu Wendong arrived, he instructed the waiter to serve the dishes.
The earlier incident wasn’t scrutinized further.
As said from the outset, he believed Xu Wendong could handle it.
anwhile,
Chen Qing was dining with Guo Maoxing, classmates from their junior high days, and Guo was now the deputy head of the digestive departnt at the third provincial hospital.
"Old Guo, words fail , without you today, things would be different; I toast to you!" Chen Qing raised his glass.
Guo Maoxing, worried, replied, "Old Chen, what you did today went too far, if soone digs into this, we’ll both face dire outcos."
Chen Qing grinned widely, "Who would pursue this?"
At that mont,
a group of officers barged in, with the lead devoid of expression, "Chen Qing, you are under suspicion of forging and using counterfeit stamps, severely disrupting social order, please co with us for investigation!"
