109: Chapter 108 A Lifeline, A Calm Analysis

"You didn't think like this when you were acting pitiful to scam us, did you?"

"Acting all innocent, as if we're wronging you. You and Ding Jianping are definitely in this together."

"That's right, don't believe her. This woman is definitely faking it."

"Pay up, or go to jail."

Huo Xiaoxiao shed tears of grievance.

Why was she so stupid to believe Ding Jianping?

"Everyone, stop talking. The law will give you an answer."

"Also, this matter involves another suspect, Ding Jianping. Before the case is confirmed, everyone needs to stay calm."

"We police handle cases based on evidence, not by listening to the one-sided claims of any party."

The middle-aged police officer looked very serious. His sharp gaze swept across everyone, immediately bringing the scene under control.

"Miss Huo, please come back with us for now. I, Officer Wei Guoan, guarantee you that I will investigate with all my effort. If you were truly wronged, I will definitely see justice served."

The facts were right before her eyes. She wasn't stupid; the chances of turning this around were slim.

As usual, Ding Jianping had likely already prepared a foolproof plan.

What could she use to turn the tables? There was simply no chance of winning.

Next, she would become a criminal, branded for life, with no future left.

"I'll go with you, but I hope you can notify my family for the time being."

Officer Wei Guoan nodded. He felt a sense of lament; these days, honest people were easily taken advantage of.

Based on his many years of police experience and his ability to read people, Huo Xiaoxiao was likely being framed. Unfortunately...

"Wait..." An abrupt voice rang out from outside the door.

"Mr... Mr. Lin... Why are you here?"

Huo Xiaoxiao was a bit surprised to see Lin Feng. But soon, a look of shame appeared on her face, and she lowered her head. This was her idol, the person she admired, and she hadn't expected him to see her in such a pathetic state.

"There was such a commotion downstairs, so I came down to take a look. It seems you've gotten into trouble."

"I... never mind. It was my own naivety; I was deceived."

"I believe the law will give me justice."

"Miss Huo, the law is just, but many times, it cannot achieve true justice."

"Sir, what do you mean? Do you know what it implies to question the impartiality of the law?"

Officer Wei Guoan's expression darkened. He was a man of faith, and Lin Feng was openly showing contempt for the law.

"Don't misunderstand. Anti-drug hero Officer Wei Guoan, you were shot three times on the southwestern border. You are a good police officer."

"You know me?"

"Let's not talk about that. Some good-for-nothings spend their days slacking off and drinking tea in offices, yet their positions are much higher than yours."

"I say this because I want to tell Captain Wei that there is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world."

"If Miss Huo has been set up, the probability of her getting out once she goes in is less than 1%."

"Of course, this is not your fault."

"The law is too well-established, so much so that some people with ulterior motives like to use it as a weapon in their hands."

Officer Wei Guoan's expression tightened, his eyes sweeping over Lin Feng. He was very surprised. Was this something a young man in his twenties could say?

"Chief, this person seems to be the boss of Fengda Delivery, Lin Feng."

The young police officer next to him recognized Lin Feng. Officer Wei Guoan was surprised, even pleasantly so. This was the recent rising star of Shen City; the delivery service had solved many people's problems. Even at their police station, they ordered over a hundred orders a day; it was so convenient.

"So it's Lin Feng, Boss Lin."

"I wouldn't dare claim that. I have met Miss Huo once before, and she is my senior from school, so I..."

"Mr. Lin, although you are a very capable young man, but..."

"Let me finish. I would never dare to show contempt for the law. 500,000, I will pay it on behalf of Miss Huo."

Lin Feng took out a bank card and handed it to Officer Wei Guoan. This move left the group of police officers and the delivery victims stunned. In this era, there were no vertical short dramas to watch, and such a domineering act was enough to shock ordinary people. 500,000—these days, even in the Yangtze River Delta, an annual income of 60,000 was considered high.

"This..."

"Captain Wei, this should be within the rules, right? I am just lending 500,000 to my senior to solve her trouble."

"Everyone just wants to recover their losses. If the money is paid, are you willing to forgive Miss Huo?"

Lin Feng asked calmly. Apart from life and death, there was no trouble that money couldn't solve.

"We are willing."

"We just want to get back our losses, we don't want to scam her."

"Yes, yes, yes, as long as we get our losses back, that's all that matters."

"Captain Wei, what do you think..."

"As long as the compensation is in place, there is no fraud. The matter ends here, and Miss Huo naturally won't need to bear any legal responsibility."

"Alright, then I'll trouble your people to take the money from my card to distribute and cover everyone's losses."

Officer Wei Guoan nodded and ordered his subordinates to take the victims to the police station to complete the paperwork.

"Mr. Lin, you are truly righteous. Miss Huo, you should thank him properly."

Huo Xiaoxiao finally came back to her senses. She looked emotional, but couldn't say a word.

"Senior, if you want to thank me, we can talk about that later, but how can we let the real criminal go free?"

"Mr. Lin, do you have a way to make Ding Jianping pay the price?"

Huo Xiaoxiao was filled with hatred.

"Those who commit many injustices are bound to bring about their own destruction. Evidence is not hard to find."

Officer Wei Guoan was taken aback and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Lin, do you have any clues?"

"I walked around downstairs earlier and asked the people nearby."

"There is a landfill about 500 meters away from here."

"This morning, Jida Express moved all the stranded packages downstairs."

"I suspect that apart from some items that were taken away by Ding Jianping earlier, the rest were dumped at the landfill."

"Additionally, the surveillance coverage in Shen City is very high. Check the surveillance footage downstairs in this building."

"Also, retrieve the surveillance footage from here to the landfill; evidence can be easily found."

"As for him framing Miss Huo, the answer lies in the office opposite."

"Opposite?"

"There is no surveillance here; it must be because Ding Jianping felt guilty and was afraid of recording his own incriminating evidence."

"But the advertising company opposite installed a 360-degree, blind-spot-free surveillance camera at their entrance."

"The situation here must have been fully recorded. Just check it and you'll know."

Officer Wei Guoan was shocked. Damn, is this really a college student in his early twenties? Being able to do business was one thing, but this kind of calm analysis, powerful logic, and terrifying observational skills—was he really just an ordinary liberal arts student? Officer Wei Guoan was filled with admiration for Lin Feng. But unfortunately, he was a college student and ran his own business. Without going through the examinations, it was impossible for him to work at the police station. As for a non-staff position, it would be a waste of his talents.

"Mr. Lin, your analysis makes a lot of sense. Wait a moment, I will have someone check it immediately."

"If the evidence is solid, even if Ding Jianping runs abroad, I will drag him back."

"I will also make him cough up this 500,000 in compensation."

"Forget it, the money won't be recovered. Ding Jianping has long since gone bankrupt and can't even repay the hundreds of thousands he owes the bank."

"Now, I can only ask Captain Wei to put in more effort and get him sentenced for a few more years."
