112: Chapter 113 Yes, I did it all.

To everyone's surprise, the group of thugs raised their hands in unison, their movements as synchronized as a military drill.

"Officer, please don't misunderstand!" the Bald Thug said with a fawning smile. "We're here to report a crime!"

"Report a crime?" Old Li eyed the group suspiciously, not daring to lower his riot fork for a second. "You? Reporting a crime?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" the green-haired lackey nodded frantically. "We're reporting this woman for hiring us to commit a crime!"

The police officers looked at each other, their expressions incredibly animated.

The on-duty deputy director, Zhang Jianguo, pushed through the crowd and walked out, frowning as he asked, "What exactly is going on here?"

The mastermind stepped forward and pulled a phone from his pocket. "Officer, we have evidence right here. This woman surnamed Lin paid us to frame someone else. She is suspected of defamation and incitement to commit a crime."

The police station fell instantly silent.

Several young officers turned red from holding back their laughter, while the older officers wore expressions that said, "Am I dreaming?"

Zhang Jianguo took the phone and checked the chat and transfer records, his expression becoming quite colorful.

"This..." Zhang Jianguo looked up at Lin Ya, who was crying like a rain-drenched pear blossom, and then at the righteous-looking thugs, his mouth twitching. "Take them all inside for statements!"

The process of taking statements was even more absurd.

"Name?"

"On the streets, they call me Baldy Qiang... Oh wait, Wang Tiezhu."

"Age?"

"Twenty-eight."

"Occupation?"

"...Unemployed."

"Why are you here to report a crime?"

"Even though we're thugs, we have our bottom line! We absolutely cannot do such wicked things as framing people!"

The policewoman in charge of the statement, Officer Liu, was shaking so hard she couldn't write properly. In her three years as a police officer, this was the first time she had ever seen such "righteous" thugs.

In the interrogation room next door, Lin Ya was sobbing uncontrollably. "Officer... they hit me... look at my face..."

The older officer kept a straight face. "Let's get this straight first: did you pay people to frame your classmate?"

"I... I was just joking..."

"Joking?" The older officer sneered. "They have evidence on their phone; are you still going to quibble?"

Meanwhile, the police station lobby was already packed with onlookers.

An auntie carrying a vegetable basket clicked her tongue in wonder. "Oh my, are street thugs this righteous nowadays?"

"You're telling me," the old man beside her adjusted his reading glasses. "The world has really changed."

A delivery guy in uniform held up his phone to livestream. "Hey guys, look! Thugs are reporting crimes in a group! Double-tap for 666!"

It was an hour later by the time all the statements were taken.

Zhang Jianguo rubbed his temples and announced the verdict. "Lin has incited others to commit defamation; 15 days of detention. As for you all..." He looked at the thugs. "Disturbing the peace, you will also be dealt with."

The mastermind was prepared and pushed forward a lackey with a face full of acne. "Officer, he was the one who arranged this; the rest of us just came along to report the crime."

The acne-ridden lackey looked like he was facing death with equanimity. "Yes, it was all me! It has nothing to do with my boss!"

"..."

In the end, the acne-ridden lackey was detained for 10 days, and the others were released after a stern lecture.

"Boss, I'm going in!" the lackey waved with a grin. "Remember to bring me cigarettes!"

"Don't worry! I'll throw a party for you when you get out!" the Bald Thug promised, patting his chest.

For these thugs who were frequent visitors, a 10-day detention was just like visiting home.

But Lin Ya was miserable. When she heard "15 days of detention," she collapsed onto the floor. These 15 days felt harder to endure than 15 years.

As two policewomen were hauling her toward the detention cell, she suddenly saw Director Zhang standing at the door.

"Director Zhang! Save me!" Lin Ya screamed as if grabbing a life straw. "Didn't you say you wanted to marry me? Hurry up and pull some strings!"

Director Zhang took a step back and said righteously, "Lin Ya, how could I still be with you after you've done something like this?" He turned and walked away immediately, as if afraid of being caught on camera.

He pulled out his phone and decisively deleted all of Lin Ya's contact information.

"Good thing I drew a line in time..." Director Zhang wiped away cold sweat and turned toward the parking lot.

His mind was now entirely focused on how to cling to Jiang Jing's thigh. As for Lin Ya? Who even remembered who she was!

The police officers watched the thugs leave in high spirits, all falling into deep thought.

Everything that happened today had completely overturned their perception.

...

Meanwhile, Jiang Jing opened the car door for Li Xue and asked softly, "Do you want to go get something to eat?"

Li Xue shook her head and suddenly threw herself into his arms, her voice muffled. "I'm sorry for letting you see such an embarrassing situation..."

Jiang Jing gently stroked her long hair. "Silly, they are the ones who should apologize." He lifted Li Xue's chin and said earnestly, "The bad guys have already been taught a lesson. From now on, no one will be able to bully you again."

Li Xue's eyes turned red again, but this time it was out of being moved.

She hugged Jiang Jing's waist tightly and buried her face in his chest. "Thank you... thank you for believing in me..."

Setting aside Jiang Jing and Li Xue's intimate moments, Jiang Yan was busy working tirelessly for Jiang Jing's company.

"Action!"

Inside the studio, the lighting technician adjusted the angle of the softbox, while the makeup artist did final touch-ups for Lin Ruoxi and Chu Yuqing.

The two women stood in front of a pure white background board, striking various poses according to the director's instructions.

"Ms. Chu, tilt your head a little more to the left... Yes, that's it!" The photographer excitedly pressed the shutter. "Perfect!"

Lin Ruoxi was wearing a simple white dress, her black hair cascading over her shoulders, her temperament cold and elegant.

Chu Yuqing had chosen a light blue professional suit, her hair tied in a high ponytail, looking capable and full of vitality.

Jiang Yan stood behind the monitor and nodded with satisfaction. "Very good, maintain this state. Next, we will shoot the dynamic shots."

The director walked over to give instructions, and the two women listened intently, nodding from time to time.

This was their first time shooting an official promotional video, and they were so nervous that their palms were sweating.

"Don't be nervous." Jiang Yan walked over to comfort them softly. "Just act as naturally as if you were chatting with friends."

Chu Yuqing took a deep breath and whispered to Lin Ruoxi, "We must do this well; this is an opportunity Jiang Jing gave us..."

Lin Ruoxi nodded, her eyes determined.

The shooting officially began.

"3, 2, 1, Action!"
