Chapter 169 Public Outburst
Chapter 169 Public Outburst
None of the three had had time to put on their coats properly; their hair was disheveled, and their faces were filled with panic.
Lin Wei rushed to the reception window, her voice trembling and somewhat out of tune.
"Comrade, we need to see Lin Hao. What exactly did my brother do wrong?!"
The police officer on duty looked up, his gaze calm.
"What's your name?"
"Shuangmulin, Hao is the Hao of vastness, they said he was just arrested this afternoon."
The on-duty police officer did a quick check and then looked up again.
"We've found out. Lin Hao is suspected of provoking trouble and intentionally causing injury with a weapon. He has been criminally detained and the case is under investigation. His family members do not meet the visitation requirements at this time. Please go home."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Guifang's already tense nerves snapped instantly, and she shouted.
"What?! Criminal detention?! What did my son do? How did he get criminally detained?!"
They all knew that Lin Hao wanted to take revenge on Chen Yuan, but they didn't know where they got the confidence to think that this was a family matter and couldn't possibly escalate to such a serious level.
Zhang Guifang lunged at the window, pounding on the glass with both hands.
"You've arrested the wrong person! He just had a little argument with his brother-in-law! The couple was arguing, the sister was upset, and the brother stood up for her. What law did he break?!"
"You can't treat ordinary people like this! My son is honest and law-abiding; he must have been framed by Chen Yuan! Release him! Release him immediately, you must release him!"
The police officers on duty were already used to this kind of thing.
Anyone who gets involved, especially if it escalates to the level of a criminal case, is definitely not a good person!
Still trying to be honest and law-abiding?
Who would be an honest and law-abiding person who goes out and beats people, and even with a stick?
If it accidentally hits the back of the head, wouldn't the victim die on the spot?
The police officer on duty rolled his eyes, frowned slightly, and raised his voice.
"Family member, please watch your words."
"The suspect attacked the victim from behind with a weapon, causing soft tissue contusions and several bone fractures. The facts are clear and the chain of evidence is complete. This is a suspected criminal offense, not a civil dispute."
"Please calm down, step back behind the yellow line, and do not disrupt the normal office order."
Zhang Guifang completely lost control, plopped down on the cold floor of the hall, kicked her legs wildly, slapped her thighs, and wailed loudly.
"What evidence! I don't care about any evidence!"
"This is outrageous! This is lawless! My Lin family only has one son, and you're going to imprison him to death!"
"It's all Chen Yuan's fault! That ungrateful bastard Chen Yuan! Now that he's famous, he turns his back on us, and you guys are still backing him up? Are you taking advantage of us because we have no connections?"
After saying that, Zhang Guifang lay down on the ground.
"If you don't let me see my son today, I'll die right here! You decide what to do, I'm not going to live anymore!"
Lin Jianguo was sweating profusely, trying to pull him away but unable to budge him.
He rushed to the window and bowed repeatedly, his voice ingratiating.
"Please, officer, please be lenient. The child is young and doesn't know any better. We're willing to pay compensation."
"As long as I don't go to jail, we'll pay any amount of compensation—medical expenses, lost wages, and any compensation for emotional distress—we'll cover it all! Please be lenient!"
The police officer on duty kept his eyes glued to the computer screen, remaining silent as if nothing was happening.
Lin Wei, standing to the side, was deathly pale and trembling all over.
She finally understood the reality: this wasn't a family dispute, nor could it be resolved by paying money.
Now that the case has been classified as a criminal case, there's nothing they can do!
Lin Wei suddenly squatted down and grabbed Zhang Guifang's arm forcefully.
"Mom! Stop it!"
"This is a police station, not a market. The bigger the scene you create, the heavier the sentence my brother will receive! You don't want him to get out, do you?!"
That sentence is still the most useful.
Zhang Guifang's crying and fussing suddenly froze.
Just then, she saw two police officers quickly approaching them.
She knew that making a scene was useless, so she opened her mouth but said nothing, her face covered in tears and snot.
Lin Wei and Lin Jianguo each took one of their arms and helped Zhang Guifang up.
The police officer on duty handed out two forms and a guide sheet through the window.
"The case has now been transferred to the brigade, and the next step will be to apply for an arrest warrant. Your family members can appoint a lawyer to intervene and apply for visitation in accordance with the law."
"Compensation and settlement must be mediated by a judge during the court proceedings. Private disturbances and interference with law enforcement will only result in a heavier sentence."
"Please sign this criminal detention notice to confirm your identity, and contact a lawyer as soon as possible."
Lin Jianguo could no longer hold back his tears. He took the document with trembling hands, his fingers shaking so much that he could not even hold the pen.
Zhang Guifang, standing to the side, cried out.
"Old man!"
Lin Jianguo's tears fell onto the paper. He dared not look at it any longer and quickly signed his name on it.
The wood is done.
Zhang Guifang's crying gradually subsided, turning into a desperate sob.
After returning home.
Zhang Guifang kept sobbing, while Lin Jianguo sat in front of the sofa sighing.
Lin Wei frantically tapped the screen with her fingertips.
"Please answer it, you don't usually go to bed this early... Please, please answer it..."
Lin Wei pressed the phone tightly to her ear, but all she heard was a cold female voice.
"The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
She repeated it over and over again.
The voice went from trembling pleas to uncontrollable sobs, and finally to mechanical repetition.
The number of phone numbers on the screen jumped from dozens to hundreds.
Long voice messages, lengthy text messages, and even humble pleas sent through the software all disappeared without a trace.
Just at this time.
Suddenly, Zhang Guifang jumped up from the sofa, went to Lin Wei, and slapped her across the face.
Lin Wei was completely stunned.
Zhang Guifang seemed to have lost her mind, cursing with red eyes.
"You jinx! If it weren't for you, would your brother have stood up for you? If it weren't for you, would he have gotten himself arrested?!"
"You jinx! You jinx! Why don't you go to jail! Why don't you go!"
Lin Wei felt half of her face go numb.
She stood there blankly, then suddenly started cursing like a madwoman.
"Why did you hit me! Did I want this to happen? If anything, it's because you spoiled him. He's been unruly since he was a child. Do you think anyone will tolerate him when he grows up?!"
"Stop making a scene! We need to find Chen Yuan right now!"
"Only Chen Yuan has a solution!"
This night is destined to be incredibly long.
On the other side...
Chen Yuan had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Breathing is steady, and brows are relaxed.
The phone on the table had been put on silent.
Only the screen flickered incessantly in the darkness.
