Liu Xiaodong’s expression froze, as if his feet were nailed to the ground, motionless.
Over the years, he had received threats from many people, those desperate criminals who would say anything ruthless.
But his emotions remained unfluctuated, he even found it somewhat laughable.
However, this time, for reasons unknown, after hearing what that man said, he felt all his nerves tensing up.
The terrifying pressure was something he had never felt before in his more than twenty years as a police officer.
“Off you three go. You’re not involved in this anymore.”
The escorting officer said.
“The three of us, we’re clear?”
“You didn’t lay hands on anyone. No need to take you in. Leave now.”
“That won’t do,” Gao Zongyuan said.
“The four of us came together. Either you take us all, or you let us all go.”
“Don’t be ungrateful; don’t think we wouldn’t dare to take you in!”
“Then take us all in. I’ve been to places like this before. Don’t think you can intimidate me with that tone.”
“All right, Old Gao,” Lin Yi said.
“You guys go first. There’s no need to stick around with me here.”
“Lin Bro, what are you thinking? Are you really going to stay cooped up in there?”
“They’re taking me in. Naturally, I have to go.”
“But with your abilities, you could easily get out, right?”
“Of course, but if I just went out by myself, it would look bad. I have to at least let them ‘invite’ me out.”
“Then we’re not going to worry about you.”
“Go on, go on. No one here can touch me.”
After saying this, Lin Yi strolled towards the detention center at a leisurely pace, not in a rush at all.
Because according to the process, they would certainly check their internal system, gather his information, and sentence him.
By the time they checked the records, they would come to him on their own.
“Let’s go. If Old Lin is doing this, he must have his reasons. Let’s not get mixed up in this,” Qin Han said.
“It’s better if we stay out as a point of contact.”
“That makes sense.”
When the three men left, it was already past six in the morning. They found a place to eat breakfast, then returned to the hotel.
As for Lin Yi, they weren’t too worried.
A small place like Jinyang couldn’t possibly hold him.
Ring, ring, ring—
A little past seven in the morning, after Qin Han had taken a shower and was getting ready to sleep, his cellphone on the nightstand rang. It was Liang Ruoxu calling.
“Secretary Liang.”
“I heard that you guys went to Jinyang. Why isn’t anyone answering Lin Yi’s phone?”
“He’s been arrested.”
“Hmm? Arrested?” Liang Ruoxu was surprised.
Qin Han didn’t hide anything and recounted the entire incident to Liang Ruoxu.
Liang Ruoxu became furious.
“How dare they arrest Lin Yi; these people are quite bold!”
“Calm down, just calm down,” Qin Han said.
“If he dared to do this, he must be confident. There’s no need to go through a lot of trouble. You’re pregnant now; you can’t get angry.”
“You guys keep busy. I’ll make some calls to arrange things. By the way, when you see Lin Yi later, pass on a message for me—tell him I’ve returned to Yanjing.”
“Sure thing.”
Originally, Qin Han was somewhat concerned about the situation, but with Liang Ruoxu taking over, he was even less worried.
He had once heard Qin Zhengqing mention Liang Ruoxu’s true identity. Either way, the Qin family was not to be trifled with.
…
After dealing with Lin Yi, Pan Chunwei didn’t hurry off but stayed to discuss with Liu Xiaodong how to handle Lin Yi’s case.
By normal procedures, they couldn’t sentence Lin Yi to death, but Pan Chunwei was not satisfied.
After discussing for over an hour and making numerous calls, they finally devised a plan that would be both logical and reasonable for sentencing Lin Yi to death.
After finalizing their plans, Liu Xiaodong saw Pan Chunwei off and then returned to his office.
