NOVPUB"Mr. Chen, how is it you?" like a bolt from the blue, left Zhou Long frozen in place, his body instantly covered with a thick layer of goosebumps.
He did not know the origins of Chen Nan.
But seeing how respectfully Sun Liang acted, even addressing him formally, he already knew that Chen Nan’s background was definitely extraordinary.
Otherwise.
Sun Liang would have never behaved so out of character.
Chen Nan too looked stunned. He skeptically looked at Sun Liang, "Do you know me?"
Sun Liang responded with an apologetic smile, "I’ve seen you once before at the hospital, but at that time you were talking to Secretary Li and didn’t notice me."
Chen Nan suddenly realized.
Previously at the hospital, there were many people, and while talking with Li Yao, he hadn’t paid attention to the appearances of those present.
Nie Xiaoyu’s beautiful eyes revealed an undeniable shock.
She had thought involving the police would be troublesome.
She had never dreamed.
That the person leading the team would actually know Chen Nan.
And even showed such great respect.
For a moment, her curiosity about Chen Nan deepened.
"Mr. Chen, if I may be so bold to ask, what exactly happened?" Sun Liang nervously looked at Chen Nan, known to him as a reclusive expert possessing the ability to foresight.
But since someone had reported to the police.
They had dispatched officers, and they had to proceed according to regulations.
No favoritism!
Yes!
Not a hint of favoritism is allowed!
If not, it would disgrace his police badge!
Chen Nan said, "I came to Hou Gong KTV to spend money, and just happened to encounter someone bullying my friend, so I intervened on behalf of my friend to demand justice."
"Then, they tried to restrain me under the rules of the KTV, wanting to cripple my arms."
"I seized a machete and engaged in legitimate self-defense."
"Fortunately, I was lucky. If not, I would have been crippled by now!"
Chen Nan spoke lightly.
But upon hearing this, Sun Liang’s body was again covered with a thick layer of goosebumps.
He was relieved that Chen Nan was not injured.
If that had not been the case, not only would his career be halted, but also the hats of all the leaders at the Dongcheng District station would not be secure.
After all.
This was someone even Secretary Li addressed respectfully as "Sir"!
On second thought.
His worries were particularly unnecessary.
Chen Nan, possessing the ability to foresee, how could just a few thugs injure him?
"Team Sun, don’t listen to him, it’s not as he describes!" Zhou Long’s face as pale as wax, hurriedly said: "He wasn’t here to spend money, he came for revenge. I dealt with it according to the norms of our circle, which is both reasonable and appropriate."
Zhou Long had not expected Sun Liang to know Chen Nan, and it seemed that Chen Nan also had extraordinary origins.
But this was not important.
What was important was that today he must prosecute Chen Nan’s crimes.
As someone involved in the underworld, alerting the police was already a great disgrace; if he could not prosecute Chen Nan’s crimes, from now on, there would no longer be a place for him in the streets.
Thus, he insisted that Chen Nan had come for revenge.
With a cold laugh, Chen Nan opened his phone, showing the expense records: "You say I wasn’t here to spend money, then what about this charge of five yuan?"
"I..." Zhou Long’s face turned green, he angrily said, "When did you spend that money?"
Chen Nan held up a bottle of mineral water in his hand, "I just bought a bottle of water!"
"You motherfucker... After injuring so many people, you even paid for a bottle of water? Couldn’t you just follow it through to the end as a villain?"
Zhou Long just felt his blood pressure skyrocket, his eyes shining with anger.
Although it was only five yuan.
It still could prove that Chen Nan was here to spend money.
Therefore, naturally, the accusations he had previously made against Chen Nan could not stand.
Sun Liang, standing nearby, almost laughed out loud. He had been pondering how to help Chen Nan clear the charges against him, but he hadn’t expected this man to hold crucial evidence in his hands.
He cleared his throat and feigned calm, "Zhou Long, what do you plan to do about this? Settle privately or make it public?"
"I…" Fuming, Zhou Long certainly wanted to make it public, but, witnessing the indifferent look in Sun Liang’s eyes, he suppressed the idea instantly.
"This was my negligence. I made assumptions without investigating the events and tried to use the KTV’s rules to constrain Mr. Chen. Hereby, I apologize to Mr. Chen," he said.
Speaking thus, he bowed deeply to Chen Nan.
Even though he was very reluctant at heart.
He also knew.
The best solution for today’s issue was to settle it privately.
If he chose to make it public. 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Chen Nan would definitely have been arrested immediately.
But he would be released without charges within twenty-four hours at most.
After all, he had powerful backers.
And they…
Would pay a heavy price.
Because their own hands were not clean and could not withstand scrutiny.
Sun Liang politely said, "Mr. Chen, if you could forgive Zhou Long’s behavior, you may leave now. If you have any other demands, please speak up. After all, you are the victim!"
Zhou Long was on the verge of tears.
I’m the real victim here!
Dozens of my brothers were knocked down by him, okay?
Chen Nan smiled, "Since I wasn’t injured, and since the boss Zhou has already apologized, let’s reduce the major issue to a minor one and let it pass!"
He knew.
If he made any demands, Sun Liang would support him.
However.
He didn’t want to trouble the other party, as it would mean owing him a favor.
Sun Liang: "Well then, since neither party has any objections or demands, let today’s matter be overlooked!"
"Well…" Chen Nan said awkwardly, "It’s hard to get a taxi here. Can I trouble Captain Sun to arrange a vehicle to take me back?"
He was only wearing underwear, feeling like he was streaking in the street.
Sun Liang spoke righteously, "Serving the people is our police’s motto." He then looked towards the driver behind him, "Xiao Liu, you drive Mr. Chen home."
"Yes!"
Xiao Liu respectfully responded, then proactively opened the car door. After Chen Nan and Nie Xiaoyu got in, he gently closed the door and drove the police car away into the night.
Sun Liang also smiled and waved his hand. Once the police car had departed, he turned to the disheartened Zhou Long and said in a profound tone, "Zhou Long, I know you feel aggrieved, but I advise you not to oppose Mr. Chen."
"If you truly offend him, not only you, even the person behind you won’t be able to protect you."
"Moreover, it might even bring a catastrophe."
Zhou Long couldn’t help but gulp. "Captain Sun, the person behind me also has backing in the city."
"Ha!"
Sun Liang scoffed disdainfully, his eyes full of scorn, "Some backers may seem reliable, but have you considered what happens if your backer falls?"
Zhou Long shuddered.
He knew his boss’s backer was among the top three in Jizhou City.
Doesn’t that mean,
the people backing Chen Nan are even more frightening than those backing his boss?
Sun Liang patted Zhou Long on the shoulder, speaking earnestly, "Remember, don’t court death. Although Chen Nan has no overt backers, he is the kind of backer that those bigshots want to cling to!"
