"How… how do you know my name?" He Yin's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you investigating me?"
This was the second time she had met Li Chonglou. She hadn't shown her police ID, nor had she told him her name.
The only remaining explanation was that Li Chonglou had someone investigate her.
These capitalists were so detestable!
She hated people who, after acquiring wealth, acted with impunity and disregarded the law more than anything in her life.
In an instant, Li Chonglou was classified as a suspect.
Her eyes filled with disgust and resentment.
"Do you want to come with me, or should I handcuff you?"
Her hand already moved to the handcuffs at her waist, ready to arrest Li Chonglou for questioning if they couldn't agree.
"Don't misunderstand, I don't have that kind of time," Li Chonglou said, waving his hand. "Besides, I don't have that much influence."
"I can cooperate with the investigation, but you have no right to handcuff me."
This beautiful female police officer seemed pure-hearted and not yet corrupted. Her clear eyes inspired a good impression.
However, a good impression was one thing, but being detained was something Li Chonglou wouldn't accept.
Although he would eventually be released, it would still waste his time and affect his mood.
Moreover, he hadn't done anything wrong, so why should he be detained?
"You still want to quibble? Arrest him!" He Yin glared angrily, refusing to listen to Li Chonglou's explanation.
Her colleague, hearing this, could only step forward and comply.
"That's enough. Do you even know who he is before trying to detain him?" Ning Lang couldn't stand it anymore and sighed.
These young police officers were truly dedicated.
If there had been a couple of seasoned veterans, they would have likely just brushed it off with a smile.
But this female police officer, He Yin, was clearly a rookie.
She didn't understand the nuances of human relationships.
Of course, this was a good thing for the public, but it caused him a slight sense of frustration when it happened to him.
Fortunately, Ning Lang was not an ordinary thug, nor did he need to pretend to be formidable. He wouldn't directly confront law enforcement.
"I don't care who you are, can you be bigger than the law?" The male police officer, who had already been eyeing Ning Lang suspiciously, changed his expression at the provocation and cursed, "It's best if you come with us obediently, otherwise, you'll regret it!"
He had joined the police force not long ago, and his mind was still filled with the notion of upholding justice and serving the people.
Seeing this burly man, Ning Lang, he had already been eager, suppressing his emotions.
Now, with a single spark, he could no longer hold back.
The situation immediately became tense.
Ning Lang's expression changed slightly at the scene. Zheng Rui, who was beside him, was about to step forward, but Ning Lang stopped him, reprimanding him, "What do you think you're doing? Are you being foolish? They are police officers, not street thugs!"
"Get out. This has nothing to do with you."
Zheng Rui was scolded and looked crestfallen but dared not disobey Ning Lang.
He knew Ning Lang was doing it for his own good, but thugs hated the police the most, and seeing his boss being bullied right in front of him, he couldn't swallow his anger.
Gritting his teeth, he glared at He Yin and the male police officer, and resentfully retreated with his men to the door.
"I didn't realize you were so knowledgeable about the law. Since you know, there's no need to say more. Let's go," the male police officer said with a hint of smugness.
He firmly believed that righteousness would always triumph over evil.
No matter how powerful Ning Lang was, he was just a figure from the underbelly of society. He represented the law and justice.
Seeing Ning Lang seemingly concede, he felt a surge of accomplishment.
He resolved to take this opportunity to teach this influential figure from the underworld, whom no one dared to provoke, a lesson.
He was truly like a newborn calf that feared no tiger, full of spirit.
Li Chonglou watched this, silently admiring how energetic law enforcement agencies would be if they were all made up of such young people.
How many persecuted people could receive fair treatment, and how many wrongful convictions would be reduced in the world.
Like in his previous life, he wouldn't have had to be thrown into prison and suffer a lifetime of torment.
Out of respect, Li Chonglou also glanced at his name and said, "Officer Fan, you've misunderstood. We are all law-abiding citizens."
"What happened just now was not our fault. There is surveillance here, feel free to check it if you don't believe us."
"Also, this is my identification. Please take a look."
Saying this, Li Chonglou took out the small booklet from the "雄鹰" (Xiong Ying) and handed it to Fan Feng.
He didn't want the conflict to escalate further. If this Fan Feng were a malicious cop, he might have played along and dealt with him severely.
However, the youthful spirit of a young man should not be crushed.
He Yin was the same, merely misunderstanding that he had investigated her in secret.
The best way was to reveal his identity and let the conflict dissolve into nothingness.
Fan Feng and He Yin looked at each other with confusion, not understanding Li Chonglou's intentions. Upon receiving the booklet and opening it, their expressions changed simultaneously.
The disgust in He Yin's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by admiration.
Fan Feng, on the other hand, snapped to attention and saluted crisply, "You are a senior from Xiong Ying. We were presumptuous."
Although the military and police belonged to different systems, which person didn't harbor a dream of becoming a special forces soldier?
Seeing that Li Chonglou was actually a Xiong Ying warrior, they dared not show any further disrespect.
"No wonder you know me, and also his name. I misunderstood you. I didn't expect you to be a warrior defending our country," He Yin's beautiful eyes gleamed, and a look of shame appeared on her face as she apologized, "I apologize for my rudeness just now, and I hope you can forgive us."
Xiong Ying was a legend in China.
It was the dream of every young person. She herself had ambitiously wanted to join back then, but she was rejected due to not meeting various requirements.
She had no choice but to transfer to the local police force after retiring from the military.
Now, to encounter her idol, one could imagine her shame.
"It was just a misunderstanding. I won't take it to heart. I've wasted your time, you should get back to work," Li Chonglou said, taking back his identification and also showing a hint of apology.
He felt somewhat guilty that his shop's affairs had caused them to make a trip in vain and almost led to a conflict due to a misunderstanding.
This scene left Lin Weiwei, who was watching beside them, and Zheng Rui, who was outside the door, dumbfounded.
Lin Weiwei, in particular, felt a flutter in her heart: "Big Brother Li is actually so amazing, making two police officers so respectful with just a small booklet…"
She didn't know that Fan Feng and He Yin respected not Li Chonglou himself, but the Xiong Ying behind him.
"Li Chonglou, would you be willing to exchange contact information? I'd like to treat you to dinner after work, would that be okay?" He Yin's pretty face flushed, and she walked up to Li Chonglou, asking in a low voice.
She certainly didn't want to leave like this. She had once longed to join Xiong Ying, and now that she had met her idol, how could she let go easily?
Influenced by her family since childhood, she was not as reserved as ordinary girls; she was open and cheerful.
She pursued what she liked and strived for what she wanted.
That was why she became a police officer after returning.
Hearing this, Li Chonglou was stunned for a moment, but then he nodded and exchanged WeChat and phone numbers with her.
He could see that He Yin was very interested in him, and he initially didn't want to agree to her request.
However, considering that her interest was not romantic but rather admiration, and it shouldn't be diminished, he agreed.
