The police looked at Lin Yi with a stern expression and said in a low voice:
"Are you sure this is true?"
"It shouldn’t count as such, right? They smashed up my shop, and I just wanted some compensation."
"Don’t talk nonsense, we didn’t do such a thing. Officer, you can’t just believe him." Ma Jianlong defended himself.
"Officer, listen to me." Xu Wen hurriedly stepped forward to explain:
"They started groping me first, then came to smash my shop. It was just repaired today, and they came looking for trouble again. My employees were just defending themselves."
"We’ll continue to investigate that aspect." The officer said:
"We came here today to deal with his extortion case, so please come with us."
Ma Jianlong smirked, stared directly at Lin Yi and said:
"Kid, extorting us for 100,000 yuan is enough to get you several years in prison. Think you can fight me with your skills?"
"Don’t rush, I’ll handle your issue first."
Casually replying, Lin Yi spoke to the police:
"Gentlemen, this isn’t the place to talk. Let’s go aside and chat."
"If there’s anything to say, say it now. Don’t do anything shady."
"Just wait here for a moment."
Lin Yi took his keys, returned to his car, and retrieved some documents.
Avoiding the eyes of others, he handed them over to the police.
"Take a look at this."
The police opened the documents with some skepticism, and upon seeing Lin Yi’s rank, both of them were stunned and didn’t react for quite a while.
"Can we go aside and talk now?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Originally serious, the two officers suddenly became tense after seeing the documents. They went to a deserted corner to whisper with Lin Yi.
Ma Jianlong and the others were puzzled, curious about what Lin Yi had shown them.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi and the police had moved several meters away.
"You’ve seen my credentials, and I think you can judge their authenticity. If you still want to deal with me, I might have to apologize because we’re from different systems. Even if I were to be dealt with, it wouldn’t be by you."
Both officers nodded repeatedly, "You’re right, but we need to make a call to confirm."
"Call Chen Bingqiang, he’ll know who I am."
"Chief Chen!"
The two officers shuddered; he was a big shot in the system, and they didn’t expect the person before them to name-drop him.
The problem was, with their rank, they had no chance to speak with him.
"Saying it that way makes it difficult for us; how could we possibly reach him?"
"You’re right, different ranks."
Talking to himself, Lin Yi took out his phone, scrolled through it, and found a photo of himself with Chen Bingqiang.
"Look at this, it should prove my case."
Seeing the photo, the two officers were even more surprised—it was stronger evidence than Lin Yi’s credentials.
This was solid evidence. Just standing together for a photo indicated an unusual relationship.
"We know how to handle this now, but we still want to understand the situation."
"The specific situation is that the guy named Ma Jianlong was messing with my boss. Luckily, I got there before anything happened, so I guess it was attempted."
"Then they came again to smash the delivery station, and tonight caused more trouble. I taught them a lesson, demanded compensation for mental anguish, but there’s no written record. That’s roughly how it all happened."
"Rest assured, we’ll handle this properly."
Having understood the whole story, the two police officers returned.
Ma Jianlong and his three companions were confident, waiting for the outcome.
"Brother Long, nothing should happen, right?"
"He extorted money from us, the evidence is clear. There’s no problem, and with such a large sum, he’ll get ten years easily."
"It’s gotta be you, Brother Long."
"It’s just small tactics. After all these years, if I can’t handle this, it would be disgraceful." Ma Jianlong said with a smile:
"After dealing with him, we must celebrate properly."
"Absolutely."
As they were talking, Lin Yi and the police returned.
Without giving Ma Jianlong a chance to react, cold handcuffs were snapped onto his wrists.
