The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official-Chapter 1221

Chapter 1221: Chapter 1221
"Lin Yifan, where are you?"
His second uncle’s voice came over the phone.
"I’m... just coming back from Mr. Li’s house... Second Uncle... what’s up?"
Lin Yifan leaned against the wall, trying hard to calm his breathing.
Dong Jiu Feng, with her body burning, was kneeling on the ground, desperately pulling at his belt.
"Some officers from the town’s police station are here, they want to talk to you about something. They’re at the village committee now, why don’t you come over?"
"Okay, I’ll head over right away!"
Lin Yifan hung up the phone reluctantly.
But Dong Jiu Feng still clung tightly to him.
"You’re annoying, you’re not allowed to leave, I don’t care..."
No longer able to control herself, Dong Jiu Feng couldn’t easily let Lin Yifan go.
She just got a taste of this meat that’s already at her mouth.
"The police are here, you can’t just let them wait. It’s not urgent this moment, I’ll come back to you after I’m done."
Lin Yifan comforted Dong Jiu Feng for quite a while until she reluctantly let go of his hand.
As he pushed open the tightly shut door, Lin Yifan just stepped out and ran into Shen Shiyao coming over.
"Why are you coming out of Xizhu’s house?"
Shen Shiyao looked at Lin Yifan puzzled.
"I... well, I drank all night, wanted to go home to sleep, but Xizhu’s wife’s computer broke down again, so she asked me to take a look. I just got in when I got the call."
Lin Yifan quickly made up an excuse.
"I came to find you for this too. Early this morning, the police car arrived at the village committee, talking to the village chief. I happened to be there delivering some materials and heard your name, so I came to find you. Is there anything serious?"
Shen Shiyao asked worriedly.
"I didn’t do anything like killing or arson, what’s there to be afraid of? I’ll know once I go over and see. By the way, you mentioned you’re studying in Provincial City, do you know anyone at the Provincial Art School?"
Lin Yifan suddenly remembered the issue with Liu Xiaocui.
"I might, what’s up?"
Without hesitation, Shen Shiyao answered.
In her eyes, connections weren’t a big deal.
"Liu Xiaocui from Boss Liu’s family was expelled for skipping school and came back. Can you see if you can find someone to speak up for her? It’s not easy for a kid from the village; forgiving her once shouldn’t be a big issue, right?"
Lin Yifan said casually.
"Okay, I’ll call and ask when I have time."
Hearing it’s about another woman, Shen Shiyao responded reluctantly.
She agreed casually, but right now, she’s more concerned about why the police are back.
Chatting idly, before long, the two arrived at the village committee.
At the entrance, in front of the parked police van, his second uncle was keeping two officers company, just waiting by the car.
"Village chief, what’s up?"
Lin Yifan glanced at the two, one was about fifty, the other in their twenties.
Wearing uniforms, smoking, they were looking at him.
"You’re the one who injured Lei Qing?"
The younger officer sized up Lin Yifan.
This question was somewhat displeasing to him.
"What do you mean injured? He drew a knife to kill, so it was self-defense."
Shen Shiyao heard the implication, stepping forward immediately.
"We’re questioning the involved, others shouldn’t interrupt."
The older officer glanced at Shen Shiyao and spoke.
"I’m an eyewitness, why can’t I state the facts I saw? If you use inappropriate language, I reserve the right to hold you accountable."
Shen Shiyao wasn’t afraid of them and reasoned logically.
"This little girl is quite fierce. However, due to the lack of surveillance footage, we can’t determine the case yet, so we need the involved to come with us to the station and give a statement. This complies with legal procedures, right?"
Noticing Shen Shiyao’s different attire, the older officer spoke more gently.
His second uncle quickly stepped up and advised Lin Yifan, "Of course, there’s no problem, it’s just a statement. Yifan, go with them."
"Sure, no problem."
Lin Yifan nodded in agreement.
"Then let’s get in the car."
The young officer opened the car door and sat in the driver’s seat.
He gestured for Lin Yifan to sit in the back seat.
"He’s involved, not a criminal. This is a summoning, not an arrest. We have our own car, why take the police car?"
Shen Shiyao pulled Lin Yifan’s arm and pouted.
"Right, it’s more convenient driving yourself. Just follow us then."
The older officer smiled, walking to the passenger seat, opened the door, and sat down.
The van took the lead, driving towards town.
"Yifan, just cooperate, it’s not a big deal."
His second uncle advised Lin Yifan briefly before they returned to the drying field.
They got into the SUV and headed towards town.
Within half an hour, the car stopped at the town’s police station entrance.
"Driving such a nice car, yet so ruthless, what does this kid actually do?"
The rookie officer couldn’t help but ask, seeing the luxury car worth hundreds of thousands.
"Why do you care what he does? He hasn’t stolen or broken any laws, why can’t he drive what he wants? You’re just jealous of his girlfriend, aren’t you?"
The older officer chuckled, patting the younger’s shoulder as they walked into the station together.
Next, everything was quite straightforward.
After taking a simple statement, the older officer set down his pen.
"Lei Qing’s wrist was broken by your kick. Since he was the one holding the knife, you’re not at fault and don’t need to bear legal responsibility. As his actions didn’t cause substantial harm, he might just get detention or probation. By procedure, the other party might be able to get some compensation. If you issue a letter of understanding, it could be reduced to probation. Considering he’s a first-time offender, we hope to coordinate a meeting between you both. After all, we’re all from the same town, often seeing each other, what do you think?"
"That depends on his attitude."
Lin Yifan wasn’t opposed, since Daqing was only twenty.
Detention or probation would leave a mark for life.
"His brother is outside now, why don’t you discuss it? Of course, if you refuse, our station will ensure the matter is handled fairly and justly."
The older officer led them into the corridor.
At this moment, a man in his thirties was sitting on a bench.
"This is Lei Qing’s brother, Lei Qinghai. You two discuss it first, then come back to us for mediation."
With that, the older officer turned and went back to the office.
A somewhat frail Lei Qinghai suddenly stood up and quickly approached Lin Yifan and Shen Shiyao.
With a thud, he knelt on the ground, his gesture indeed genuinely sincere.
"I’m sorry... it’s all my brother’s fault... and my lack of discipline as a brother. Please, considering his young age, forgive him. I’m willing to compensate for the damages he caused."
Listening to his tearful words, Lin Yifan hurriedly helped him up.
"This isn’t a big matter, just ensure he won’t bother Liu Xiaocui anymore."
"How about this, it’s almost mealtime anyway, let’s head to the town restaurant. I’ve already reserved a room, and we can eat and chat."
Lei Qinghai unhesitatingly pulled Lin Yifan along.
After the three left the police station, they headed straight for a distant restaurant.
Through the window, that older officer watching wore a satisfied smile.
