The sounds of sirens from police cars could be heard.
The gangsters hadn't run far when the sound of sirens came from afar.
Before everyone could figure out the situation, two police cars had already stopped in front of the gangsters. Several police officers moved skillfully and nimbly. They easily controlled all of the gangsters.
Two police cars drove directly to Lu Yao and Lin Jiayi, only then did they stop the alarm.
"Someone reported that there was a large-scale armed melee nearby. Did you two see it?" From the police car, a policeman who was about thirty years old and was wearing a hat in a not very formal way, pointed at Lu Yao and Lin Jiayi arrogantly.
Lu Yao was just about to say that they did not see anything, but before he could say it, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a navy blue sportswear and a purple sports towel around his neck. The middle-aged man was sweating and panting. He smiled slyly. "Captain Niu, I called the police!"
When Lu Yao saw this middle-aged man, he began to quickly search his memories for information about this man. Unfortunately, he realized that he had never seen the man before.
They had never met, but he had been hiding behind a tree and paying attention to Lu Yao. After the police appeared, he showed up. It was obvious that he was plotting against Lu Yao.
Lu Yao did not speak. He quietly listened to the conversation between the two, searching for useful information.
"Hey, Secretary Li, it's so late. Are you still exercising?" When the policeman, who was called Captain Niu, looked at the man with a sly smile, he immediately changed his expression and greeted the middle-aged man with a smile.
"I have no choice. The director has arranged many things for me to do during the day and I have no time to exercise. When I get off work at night, the gym is almost closed. I can only take time to run and do some simple exercises here. Haha!" Secretary Li said politely.
"That's right. Today, the college entrance examination has just ended. You must be very busy in the Education Bureau."
"Yes. There is still a lot of work for us to do. I won't have time to exercise later. That's why I wanted to take advantage of the time to exercise more since it was rather cool tonight, but I didn't expect..." Secretary Li did not continue. Instead, he glanced at Lu Yao and Lin Jiayi.
Everyone could understand what he meant. It was obvious that he wanted to say that Lu Yao and Lin Jiayi, the two students who weren't supposed to be in love, had ruined his night.
"These two?" Although Captain Niu did not like the two of them, he did not expect that the two young students would be the suspects who had been involved in the fight.
"Our director..." Secretary Li looked at Captain Niu strangely and said half a sentence.
"Arrest these two bad guys who were in the group fight." Captain Niu immediately got his subordinates to bring Lu Yao and Lin Jiayi into the police cars.
Others might not understand what Secretary Li had just said, but Captain Niu did.
During the day, he received a phone call from an acquaintance who had not contacted him for a long time. His acquaintance asked him to go to the Wuyi Road Police Station alone after work tonight. There would be someone there to meet him, and then they would run some errands for the leader of the Education Bureau.
His acquaintance had clearly told him that this matter was extremely simple. Moreover, as long as Captain Niu did this, he would be promoted to the deputy director of the City Public Security Bureau at the end of this year.
If someone else said this, Captain Niu would definitely see it as a joke. However, his old acquaintance was different. This was because his promise had never disappointed Captain Niu. Because of this man, Captain Niu was able to be in the position he was now.
Just as his acquaintance had promised, when Captain Niu had completed that task before, Captain Niu was promoted from a temporary auxiliary police officer to the captain of the City Police Station.
This matter had caused quite a stir at the time, and he had also become a legend among the police in Shuangta City.
"Captain Niu, right? I have something to say!" Although Lu Yao had already seen that these people were colluding together, he was not willing to be arrested like this, not to mention that Lin Jiayi was by his side.
Captain Niu was about to exchange a few more words with Secretary Li, but he was interrupted by Lu Yao. He said impatiently, "If you have something to say, say it. I'm warning you that every word you say now will become evidence of the court in the future. You have to think it through before saying it!"
Lu Yao ignored Captain Niu's threat and said righteously, "We are students who have just participated in the college entrance examination. We didn't steal or rob. What right do you have to arrest us?"
"What right do I have?" Captain Niu said disdainfully, "Just based on Secretary Li's phone call and his words, I can arrest you!"
"Well, according to what you said, my classmate did not participate in this. Let her go, and I will go with you!" Lu Yao actually wanted Lin Jiayi to get out of this trouble, because what happened had nothing to do with her.
Captain Niu heard Lu Yao's words and turned to look at Secretary Li.
Secretary Li shook his head gently and gave Captain Niu a meaningful look. Captain Niu immediately understood and ordered his subordinates. "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and arrest them."
The two policemen who were holding Lu Yao and Lin Jiayi were immediately ready to take them to the car.
"This man is dangerous. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, you need to put handcuffs on him." Before leaving, Secretary Li reminded Captain Niu.
"Let's do as Secretary Li says!" Captain Niu agreed.
Lu Yao was handcuffed and was separated from Lin Jiayi. They were brought into two police cars.
Secretary Li and Captain Niu were still talking and laughing.
The police car was not close to Secretary Li, and his voice was not loud. Ordinary people could not hear them, but Lu Yao heard the conversation between the two clearly.
Lu Yao looked worriedly at the police car which Lin Jiayi was in.
Seeing that Lin Jiayi was still very calm after getting into the car, Lu Yao felt that he had a whole new level of respect for her.
.
.
Along with the long whistle of the police cars' sirens, Lin Jiayi and Lu Yao were brought to an office in the Wuyi Road Police Station in Shuangta City.
When they entered the office, Lu Yao glanced at the several gangsters who had been picking a fight with them before. They were brought to the office next to them.
"Lin Jiayi, why didn't you tell them that you are the daughter of the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee? I don't think they will make things difficult for you if you tell them this." Lu Yao asked in a low voice. After the police brought Lu Yao and Lin Jiayi to the office, the police left. At this time, there were only Lu Yao and Lin Jiayi in the room.
"What will you do if I leave?" Lin Jiayi looked at Lu Yao and said in a surprised tone.
"I have plans!" Lu Yao said half-jokingly, "When the police officer comes, you should ask for a phone call home and ask Uncle Lin to think of a way to bring you back, okay?"
"What about you?"
"There is something wrong with this. I think they won't let me out so easily. If they insist that I am involved in the fight, then Secretary Lin will be in a difficult position. Why don't you go out first? You can think of a way then!" This time, Lu Yao had a serious expression.
Although Lin Jiayi was very worried, there was no better way at the moment. She could only nod to show that she had remembered his words.
Seeing that someone was walking towards the office, the two stopped talking and quietly squatted by the wall.
Perhaps because there was a girl like Lin Jiayi, the police station sent a policeman and a policewoman here.
The policeman was already over middle-aged. After taking off his hat, Lu Yao saw that his head was bald.
The policewoman was relatively young and looked not so much older than Lu Yao. She had a fluffy ponytail and her hair swayed left and right as she walked. Coupled with her walking, which was very rhythmic, she gave people a feeling of vitality.
After the policeman entered the door, he sat in front of a table opposite Lu Yao. He took out his phone and looked at it. He did not speak from the beginning to the end.
On the other hand, the policewoman sat down and kept asking questions and taking notes.
"Do you know why we brought you back?" The policewoman asked with a serious expression.
Lu Yao replied, "I don't know!"
"The people next to you have already given in. You two should stop resisting. Let me give you a piece of advice. It's better to confess honestly so that you won't have to suffer more then!" The policewoman stared at Lu Yao and Lin Jiayi and said slowly.
"We really don't know anything!" Lu Yao really had nothing to say.
"Look at your attitude. Is this how you should talk to a police officer?" Seeing that Lu Yao was stubborn, the policewoman was a little unhappy and said angrily.
In fact, it was not that Lu Yao did not want to confess, but he did not know how to say it. Could he tell the police directly that the man had used a solid steel rod to hit him, but the rod was bent by his punch?
Wouldn't that bring him even more trouble?
"I want to call my family. Is that okay?" Lin Jiayi thought of what Lu Yao had told her just now and stood up to speak to the policewoman.
The policeman saw Lin Jiayi stand up and immediately put the phone in his hand on the table.
The policewoman shouted angrily at Lin Jiayi, "Squat down, who told you to get up?"
Lin Jiayi did not squat down, nor did she walk forward. Instead, she stood in place and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "I'm going to call the security office of the Municipal Party Committee Villa. Please call 0901-3358326."
