Lin Chuan glanced at Liu Jianguo beside him, who again started looking smug, his face flushed as if he were infused with chicken blood. In fact, this was because Liu Jianguo was about to take revenge, and he was also about to get his hands on three machines, which made him very excited.

"Lin Chuan, admit it if you are a man," Liu Jianguo stood out while still holding a briefcase.

"Director Liu, I really don't understand what you're talking about," Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"Damn it, this kid still won't admit it!" Liu Jianguo raged. "Where are those people from yesterday? Bring them here, I refuse to believe it, with both human and physical evidence here, what more can you deny?"

"Lin Chuan, kidnapping and extorting a hundred thousand yuan, it's not a small case," Li Jiangping said with a cold sneer.

"I really haven't done that," Lin Chuan said, shaking his head helplessly.

After a call from Liu Jianguo, those busy soul reapers in the residential area rushed over. Each one of them was drenched in sweat, especially the kid moving coal, who was so dirty he was almost unrecognizable. Liu Jianguo exclaimed in shock, "You guys... what have you been doing?"

"Director Liu, what do you need us for?" the man with a nose ring asked.

"Quick, tell Deputy Director Li, yesterday Lin Chuan here extorted a hundred thousand yuan from us," Liu Jianguo said hurriedly.

"Ah..." The man with the nose ring looked at Liu Jianguo in surprise. He turned his head to glance at Lin Chuan, smiling, "What are you talking about, nothing like that happened; we did have an unpleasant argument yesterday, but extortion is against the law, that definitely didn't happen."

"You!" Liu Jianguo panicked, these goddamn people dropping the ball at such a crucial moment. It was infuriating. Liu Jianguo hurriedly said, "Come on, it's this serious already, what are you afraid of? Deputy Director Li will ensure justice for us, just hurry up and tell the truth."

"What I said is the truth," the man with the nose ring said awkwardly.

At this moment, Lin Chuan laughed, "Director Liu, isn't this entrapment?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Liu Jianguo glared at Lin Chuan, saying, "You clearly extorted a hundred thousand yuan from us yesterday."

"Where's the evidence?" Lin Chuan asked.

"I..." Liu Jianguo became anxious: "I have a recording."

Then, Liu Jianguo played the recording, and after listening, Lin Chuan laughed, "From start to finish, I didn't hear any mention of a hundred thousand yuan."

"But you took my five thousand yuan," Liu Jianguo raged.

"Did I?" Lin Chuan smiled, "Even if I took your five thousand yuan, so what? You gave it to me yourself."

Liu Jianguo was speechless.

Deputy Director Li smiled and said, "Five thousand yuan has reached the criminal case standard, take them all away."

"Who dares!" Zhou Kai held two fire axes, while Huang Bo and others grabbed machetes and rushed out, ready to clash with the police.

"What are you all doing, get back here," knowing the grave consequences of confronting the police, Lin Chuan quickly yelled at Huang Bo to call him back.

"Heh, you dare to possess controlled knives!" Deputy Director Li seized the opportunity, sneering, "Take them all, including the weapons."

"Director Li, this trouble was all caused by me alone, it has nothing to do with them. I will go with you and assist in the investigation," Lin Chuan said to Li Jiangping.

"If you're arresting, arrest everyone." Before Li Jiangping could speak, Zhou Kai shouted.

"Shut up!" Lin Chuan glared at Zhou Kai, who sheepishly backed off.

Through Lin Chuan's negotiations, Zhou Kai and the others stayed behind temporarily while Lin Chuan went with them. A group of people got into the police car. Liu Jianguo was extremely smug, his tail almost wagging up to the sky, this kid started thinking inside whether he should immediately remove the three machines from the factory this afternoon to prevent future problems. However, he resented Deputy Director Li for not taking Zhou Kai and those kids back to the police station as well; if they were taken, his actions would be much easier.

After some indecision, he finally decided to wait a few days, spend another twenty thousand yuan to grease the wheels, and get Zhou Kai and those kids all locked up. Then moving those machines would be incredibly easy. Thinking of this, Liu Jianguo was overjoyed. The loan for the house would soon be paid off, how far could a Porsche be?

Clang...

Lin Chuan was taken away, leaving Zhou Kai extremely upset; he threw the two axes he held fiercely to the ground and sat down with a thud.

"Kai, don't be sad," Huang Bo said smoothly, hurriedly offering a cigarette, "Smoke... have a smoke."

Zhou Kai took the cigarette, and Huang Bo lit it for him.

"There's no good bird inside the police station," Zhou Kai angrily said, "Lin Chuan has neither money nor influence, he's definitely going to suffer in there."

"Then... then you... you think," Huang Bo stuttered, "Last last time, Brother Lin Chuan... hit Long Wu, went to the police station, and... and nothing happened."

Zhou Kai thought about it and noticed some truth to it. Last time, they beat Long Wu terribly, and despite Long Wu being so wealthy and influential, how could he let Lin Chuan go? What ended up happening? Ultimately, Lin Chuan came back unscathed.

"Yeah..." Zhou Kai took a drag of his cigarette and said, "What kind of person do you think Chuanzi is? Why can he come out unscathed after being arrested? That's strange!"

"I-I-I don't know!" Huang Bo shook his head.

"You are a stutterer, of course you don't know." Zhou Kai glared at him.

"Dammit, I will event-event-eventually stop stuttering." Huang Bo, poked where it hurts, suddenly flared up in anger.

"Eventually..." Zhou Kai stood up and burst out laughing.

Huang Bo was both angry and annoyed, resenting why he had to stutter, why he couldn't speak like normal people? Huang Bo even found it strange that his thoughts never stuttered; he always spoke fluidly in his head but never when it came out of his mouth. Huang Bo also wanted to cure his condition, but he felt like there was no cure left for him, despite several attempts, each ending in failure.

Police station.

Lin Chuan was locked up for the second time. When the bespectacled policewoman saw Lin Chuan enter again, she greeted him with a smile, "Why are you here again?"

"Long time no see." Lin Chuan chuckled, glancing at her.

The policewoman patted his shoulder, saying, "Bring him in, I will personally interrogate him later."

"Yes!" Several police officers nodded.

At this moment, Deputy Director Li watched the policewoman with a smile, whispering, "Dear, you haven't been to my place for a long time. My wife is out of town this weekend, are you available?"

The policewoman looked at him flirtatiously, smiling, "My aunt is visiting this weekend."

"Oh..." Deputy Director Li became anxious: "How about we find a place tonight?"

"Okay!" The policewoman blushed.

In Lin Chuan's mind, this policewoman was somewhat righteous, but he never expected that she would be of the same ilk as Li Jiangping.

Lin Chuan's case could be minor or severe. The sum of 5000 yuan just met the standard for a criminal case, but from the evidence, it wasn't exactly extortion.

Li Jiangping had held a grudge since Long Wu's incident, and he couldn't afford to miss this chance—he had to teach this kid a lesson.

Deputy Director Li personally issued the interrogation order; those police officers involved knew that Lin Chuan would probably have a hard time.

The policewoman and Li Jiangping were birds of a feather; he specifically asked her to join in interrogating Lin Chuan.

This time, the interrogation room was changed.

The policewoman was an instructor at the station, last named Lv, named Lv Yan, but she preferred to be called Lv commissar.

The interrogation room was small, with a table and Lin Chuan handcuffed and pressed into a chair. There was a high-powered desk lamp on the side. Most importantly, there were no cameras in the room, probably the main reason for the change of room.

Before long, Lv commissar entered the room with two officers, maintaining a gentle smile. She sat opposite Lin Chuan and smiled, "Since we are acquainted, let's get straight to the point."

"I will cooperate as much as I can." Lin Chuan quite liked Lv commissar, as she wasn't too harsh in speaking.

Pleased with Lin Chuan's attitude, Lv commissar asked a few questions.

Lv commissar smiled, "Lin Chuan, let's get to the point. Tell me, why did you kidnap and extort Liu Jianguo? Is it because he didn't help your family qualify for welfare and repeatedly insulted your mother?"

Lin Chuan was stunned. It seemed that Liu Jianguo, this son of a bitch, had already concocted a reason to frame him. Lin Chuan smiled and said, "The reasons and evidence are already sufficient, why bother with so much interrogation!"

Lin Chuan dodged and weaved, refusing to admit any guilt, which infuriated Lv commissar. She burst out, "Lin Chuan, don't play tricks with me. This is a police station; if you don't confess, believe me, I'll have to take drastic measures."

Lin Chuan understood what Lv commissar's 'drastic measures' meant—torture.

Looking at Lv commissar's face filled with rage yet somewhat distorted, Lin Chuan suddenly felt that this policewoman was not the good cop he had imagined.

Seeing Lin Chuan still not speaking, Lv commissar completely lost her temper, "Lin Chuan, I gave you a chance, and you wasted it. Xiao Wang, Xiao Zhang, go."

Accompanying Lv commissar were two sturdy young police officers. Hearing her words, they hesitated, and after a moment, the one on the right said, "Commissar, this doesn't seem right. After all, he's just a suspect..."

It seemed these two officers were still quite decent, showing some integrity of police.

"Do as I say." Lv commissar spoke harshly to the two officers: "Today, we must get a confession no matter what, otherwise you two are in for a disciplinary action."

The two officers glanced at each other, their faces showing helplessness as they flexed their wrists and approached Lin Chuan. They grabbed his arms, one on each side, and twisted them behind his back. As the force increased, the bones endured immense pressure, and the joints in the arms suffered excruciating pain, which could lead to dislocation or even breakage.
