283: Chapter 283 The Unreasonable Bank Manager

Watching the retreating figures of Zhang Xiaofu and Wu Xiaoxiao, the look in Yang Yong's eyes as he turned to Lin Xiao shifted repeatedly.

"So that's what you meant when you told her to hide."

Yang Yong gave Lin Xiao a thumbs up. "Impressive, truly impressive!"

Lin Xiao was worried that Yang Yong would start talking about having him join the Paranormal Club again.

He waved his hand dismissively. "Don't guess wildly. I just guessed that she might be retaliated against, that's all."

Yang Yong raised an eyebrow slightly but didn't say anything more.

After the police escorted the relevant individuals into the vehicles, Lin Xiao and Yang Yong also got into a police car and headed to the police station.

Coming to the police station for Lin Xiao was just like coming home.

Looking around, he saw familiar faces everywhere.

He smiled at everyone.

However, the looks everyone gave him were somewhat complicated.

Soon, the familiar Officer Zhang came jogging out of his office.

When he saw Lin Xiao, he wore an indescribable expression.

"Oh my, you're here again."

Officer Zhang walked up and patted Lin Xiao's shoulder heavily.

"Hey, what a coincidence."

Lin Xiao also grinned.

The police officer in charge of this case was a rookie who had only heard about Lin Xiao's affairs but had never seen him in person.

Upon hearing Officer Zhang's words, he suddenly remembered something, subconsciously moved two steps to the side, and maintained a distance from Lin Xiao.

"What are you panicking for!"

Officer Zhang frowned slightly.

But he still waved to the person behind him. "Find a separate room for Lin Xiao. Uh, keep unrelated people away. Also... ahem, Lin Xiao, I'll have to trouble you to cooperate with our work."

"Don't worry, I will tell you everything I know."

Lin Xiao nodded seriously.

"That's not what I meant."

Officer Zhang smiled awkwardly. "I mean, try to keep some distance from our colleagues, and if you can avoid touching things in the station, please do so..."

Seeing that Officer Zhang was about to say the words "bad luck," Yang Yong couldn't help but laugh.

"Officer, don't worry. If it really comes to it, just leave the paper for the statement, and we'll write it ourselves."

"Ahem, that won't be necessary."

Officer Zhang coughed lightly and immediately had someone take Lin Xiao and Yang Yong inside.

Before Lin Xiao had walked far, he heard Officer Zhang say to the police officer who had brought them in: "You must pay attention in the future. If a statement needs to be taken, try to finish it on the spot. Unless there's something special, don't bring him back!"

"U-understood."

The Young Police Officer was also very helpless.

He hadn't known before; if he had, he definitely wouldn't have provoked him!

"Sigh, forget it. Go get Lin Xiao some snacks and drinks, and let him finish writing quickly so he can leave."

Officer Zhang sighed and returned to his office.

Lin Xiao and Yang Yong heard every word clearly.

Yang Yong couldn't hold back his laughter again.

Lin Xiao, on the other hand, looked embarrassed.

If he had known the police station treated him like fire and water, he wouldn't have come!

This incident wasn't that complicated, and Lin Xiao and Yang Yong quickly wrote down the sequence of events.

Afterwards, they prepared to leave the police station under the watchful eyes of many.

But just at this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly saw two familiar figures walking toward the police station.

It was actually Qiu Xiaoyan and Mrs. Qiu!

There was also a man with them.

The three of them didn't look very happy. As soon as they entered the door of the police station, they went straight to the reporting desk.

"Xiao Yan?"

Lin Xiao called out softly from the side.

Only then did Qiu Xiaoyan and Mrs. Qiu notice that Lin Xiao was also here.

"What are you doing here..."

Lin Xiao looked at the man with confusion.

Qiu Xiaoyan opened her mouth to say something, but just then, a responsible police officer walked over.

"Who is reporting a crime?"

"Me!"

Qiu Xiaoyan was both angry and aggrieved, and she couldn't wait to explain the situation to the police officer.

It turned out that while she and her mother were going through old things at their old family home, they accidentally discovered a notebook left behind by her grandfather before he passed away, along with a bank safe deposit box receipt.

According to the notes her grandfather left behind, they learned that the items stored in this safe deposit box were specifically left for the mother and daughter by him.

They took the receipt and went to the bank, wanting to retrieve the items.

However, the Bank Manager, who was the middle-aged man who had come to the police station with them, demanded that they produce the key to the safe deposit box.

Upon learning that the key was lost, he then insisted that the account holder come in person to handle the procedures.

Her grandfather had passed away many years ago, so how could he possibly come to handle these so-called procedures?

At first, the mother and daughter had explained the situation to the man politely.

They also indicated that if necessary, they could provide other supporting documentation.

Under normal circumstances, after an elderly person passes away, their children have the right to handle their personal belongings.

But this Bank Manager wouldn't budge at all.

He insisted that they find the key or have the person handle it in person.

That stubborn attitude, deaf to reason, made even the usually good-tempered Qiu Xiaoyan and her mother angry.

The police officer in charge was also in a difficult position.

This kind of matter was not within their scope of work.

Logically speaking, if Qiu Xiaoyan and her mother had any issues with the bank's handling, they could file a complaint with the Banking Regulatory Commission.

Or file a lawsuit directly.

Seeming to notice the police officer's dilemma, the Bank Manager's arrogance grew even more.

"I already said it, it's useless for you to call the police. I'm just following the rules!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Qiu Xiaoyan with disdain.

This arrogant attitude made Qiu Xiaoyan's eyes turn red with anger.

Mrs. Qiu was also very angry. "How can you be like this? Is that what you call following the rules? I don't believe a bank would have such outrageous rules!"

"Then go ahead and complain! See if anyone will help you!"

The Bank Manager sneered.

Seeing that Qiu Xiaoyan was about to be moved to tears by anger, Lin Xiao hurriedly pulled her hand gently and gave her a reassuring look.

Then he turned his head to look at the Bank Manager and said indifferently: "Finding so many excuses—isn't it just because you want to embezzle it? Doing such wicked things, be careful that your children are born without an asshole!"
