About three minutes later, the three were escorted onto the same police car.
However, after the vehicle started, the officer who had been there earlier did not get out.
The second floor of the club.
"Boss Liu, I hope I haven't disturbed you?"
The police officer, who had been arrogant moments ago, now acted like a fawning dog, smiling obsequiously at Liu Fei, completely unconcerned about the gazes of the people around Liu Fei.
Liu Fei said coldly, "Why did you meddle in this matter?"
The officer's expression changed slightly, and he quickly explained, "I was just afraid they would escalate the situation. These are unusual times, and I don't know how long my superior can protect this place. It's best to attract as little attention as possible."
Liu Fei's expression softened a bit. He waved his hand and said, "Go back. I will personally thank you another day."
"No, no, this is what we should do. Boss Liu has always taken good care of us."
Seeing Liu Fei's normal expression, the officer's smile returned, and then he left the club.
"You're still so cool, Old Fei. You're practically a local overlord, even the police have to listen to you."
Liu Fei shook his head and said, "Things are different now. The situation in Shangjing is becoming more and more complex. No one can say what will happen tomorrow."
The people around chuckled.
"Even if something big happens in Shangjing, it won't affect you, Old Fei. This place has long been your territory. But can you teach us how you did it?"
"Yeah, I can't even bribe a small police station over there; they have tough bones to deal with, let alone an entire area. It's just too difficult."
Liu Fei just smiled and didn't answer their questions. Just then, Zhang Si also walked up with his head lowered.
Liu Fei glanced at him and asked indifferently, "How is it? Are you alright?"
Zhang Si replied with his head lowered, "Just a small injury, nothing serious."
"It's good that you're alright. You might not have been able to beat him, but it was just unfamiliarity."
Liu Fei said indifferently and then led the others back into the room. Zhang Si slowly raised his head, looked in the direction of the club entrance, and clenched his fists tightly.
At this time, in the police car.
As it was a dedicated police car, the three of them sat in the back without anyone guarding them. The other party seemed not to worry about them escaping at all.
"Brother Li, why didn't you resist?"
Since there was no guard, Yue Hai directly voiced his doubts.
"It's not that simple. Even if we know they are colluding, they are still the face of the country. If we act rashly, even if we are in the right, we will become in the wrong."
"Then we should just be arrested without any reason?"
Li Chonglou smiled slightly, "Don't worry. It's better if they arrest us. Now that they have, the reason is sufficient."
"What reason is sufficient?"
Yue Hai and Chen Peiyue, sitting beside him, exchanged glances, seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
Seeing this, Li Chonglou explained.
Although Lin Qianqian had told him to cause trouble, no matter how big, she would handle it, this was clearly said in anger.
If Li Chonglou had directly taken action against the police, as long as the other party retained evidence, it would undoubtedly be a big trouble.
No one could truly be dominant on their own. The country had enemies at the national level, and so did the social classes. Even though Lin Qianqian now held a special position in Shangjing, she also had her own enemies.
If nothing else, today's incident was a clear example.
Therefore, regarding the police, it was best to avoid any conflict if possible.
Moreover, the most crucial point was that not taking action had another benefit!
Lin Qianqian was originally unable to intervene here without sufficient reason. Now, with the three of them being arrested without rhyme or reason, wasn't this the legendary "sending a pillow when you're sleepy"?
The two of them only understood at this point.
Yue Hai immediately gave Li Chonglou a thumbs-up and praised, "Brother Li, you are so smart. I would never have thought of this."
Li Chonglou rolled his eyes.
Chen Peiyue said somewhat confusedly, "Didn't they say the police couldn't help?"
"Even if they can't help much, they can at least give us peace of mind. No rush, their base is here, and they can't escape."
As he said this, a cold glint flashed in Li Chonglou's eyes.
He would not let Old Gao's revenge go unavenged. Although he didn't seem anxious now, Li Chonglou was also thinking for the others.
Especially Yue Hai and Chen Peiyue. One had no background, and the other, although he had background, was someone he brought out himself. Li Chonglou naturally didn't want the two of them to get involved.
As expected, when the three returned to the local police station, and after Li Chonglou requested to call a lawyer and contacted Long Shi to relay the message to Lin Qianqian, Lin Qianqian arrived within an hour and a half.
"Director Lin, without superior orders, I really can't release prisoners."
The person Lin Qianqian was talking to at this moment was the police officer who had led the team to arrest the three.
He was only the deputy director of this sub-bureau; the real authority lay with someone else.
Of course, that was the superficial situation; the actual reality was unknown.
"Nonsense, don't you recognize this order of mine? Is there anything I can't handle? I'm taking people away now, let's see what you dare to do!"
Lin Qianqian had a fiery temper. She had endured it earlier because her superior's rival was involved, but now that she had caught them by the scruff of their necks, why would she be polite to them anymore!
It should be known that after the Pinghu incident, although Li Chonglou had not paid attention, Lin Qianqian had still obtained a police identity for him as scheduled.
The current Li Chonglou was Lin Qianqian's subordinate!
For Lin Qianqian, you could use your superiors to pressure me and prevent me from interfering in this matter, but now you dare to arrest my people? Then naturally, I can use cases to counter-pressure you!
Now, anyone who dared to stop her was obstructing her investigation! At this moment, Lin Qianqian was exhibiting the height of unbridled confidence.
And so, under the astonished gazes of a group of police officers, Lin Qianqian brazenly walked out of the police station with Li Chonglou and the other two.
After the four of them left, the deputy director frowned and murmured, "It seems I can't handle this matter. I need to inform Boss Liu."
Outside the police station.
Yue Hai and Lin Qianqian had met before, so after coming out, he directly asked, "Uh, Director Lin, my friend's matter, can it be..."
Lin Qianqian knew what Yue Hai was going to say and interrupted him, "You should understand the situation here now. If you want to go through the normal legal process, it will take at least half a month. If you have that much time, I can go back with you now."
As Lin Qianqian spoke, she glanced at Li Chonglou, and Li Chonglou realized then that the person who understood him best in Shangjing was actually her...
