Which TV station's program team are you from?

Captain Wu's expression was extremely surprised; indeed, anyone would be surprised.

You go out on patrol, and end up arresting the person who reported the crime? Isn't that like the informant confessing to their own crime?

However, after listening to Zhou Cheng's explanation, Captain Wu understood.

The way Zhou Cheng handled it was not wrong; whether the young man on the ground was practicing medicine illegally or committing fraud, that was for the police to arrest and manage.

And before the police could investigate the truth of the matter and convict him, no one could act impulsively to willfully smash shops and beat people; that was also an illegal act!

Cheng Wei, who had been standing at the scene, realized that Captain Wu, seeing his steady, middle-aged appearance, was likely Zhou Cheng's superior.

So, she immediately approached Captain Wu again, saying with a tearful face:

"Police Officer, you must be their leader. I'm telling you, we smashed his shop and hit him a few times in a moment of impulse, but it was understandable because he swindled all the money we paid for treatment. We had no other choice."

"And this Police Officer Brother, not only did he not help us, but he even called an ambulance for that fraudulent illegal practitioner. If you ask me, it would be better if someone like him died!"

Cheng Wei's expression was rich, and her acting was superb as she spoke.

However, as an experienced Police Officer, Captain Wu was not swayed by Cheng Wei's performance.

Especially since he understood Zhou Cheng better.

Although Zhou Cheng was very young and had only just entered the system as a Police Officer, he was already the Deputy Captain of Public Security Team One.

He had earned multiple merits and was highly experienced in handling incidents on patrol.

Therefore, seeing Zhou Cheng subtly leaning towards the young man on the ground, his intuition told him that this case might be somewhat strange.

So, he looked closely at Cheng Wei and said softly in formal language:

"Please rest assured, we understand all of that, but we also ask you and everyone here to understand us. Your smashing of the shop and beating people was indeed wrong,

So, please come with us to the police station to clarify the whole story from beginning to end. This will make it easier for us to resolve your issues faster."

Captain Wu spoke impartially; he was already skilled at saying things like this.

Then he looked at Yang Jian, who was still slumped on the ground.

"As for him, his condition looks very poor right now, so he definitely needs to be sent to the hospital immediately. Therefore, we ask for your understanding as well,

Rest assured, we will arrange for a Police Officer to guard him during this time; we certainly won't let him slip away while he's supposedly receiving medical treatment!"

Cheng Wei listened to Captain Wu's words. Although she was anxious, she had nothing to say at the moment.

The ambulance arrived quickly, and after the doctor checked Yang Jian's physical condition.

"Doctor, no need for a thorough check-up; he's just faking it. I'm telling you, he was full of Life Qi yesterday, how could he suddenly look like he was dying."

Cheng Wei stood next to the doctor and said without restraint.

Her daughter beside her obediently tried to squat down to ask Yang Jian if it hurt, but she was immediately pulled back tightly, preventing her from talking to Yang Jian.

"How could he be full of Life Qi? His situation is very serious right now; he must be sent to the hospital immediately!"

The doctor shot Cheng Wei an unhappy look upon hearing her words. Given Yang Jian's current state, he felt he was already standing at the gates of hell, yet she claimed it wasn't serious!

"Impossible, we only punched him a few times. How could a grown man not handle it?"

"Exactly, I wasn't using much force."

The crowd quickly shouted.

But the doctor didn't have time to pay attention to them and immediately called for a stretcher.

Then, with the help of the crowd, they carried Yang Jian onto the stretcher and into the ambulance!

Captain Wu then arranged for one Police Officer to accompany them!

As for the rest of the people, except for those just watching the excitement, everyone who participated in smashing the shop and beating people was stuffed into the prisoner transport vehicle by Zhou Cheng.

Xiao Feng from the TV station felt very angry watching Zhou Cheng's cold and ruthless expression, even completely ignoring her.

"You are twisting right and wrong! You're arresting the informant instead of the swindler—just wait for everyone's complaints!" Xiao Feng shouted at Zhou Cheng.

Perhaps Zhou Cheng had been quietly focusing on himself recently, staying off trending topics for a long time.

Or perhaps this Xiao Feng simply hadn't seen Zhou Cheng's posts; in any case, she didn't yet know Zhou Cheng's identity! She hadn't recognized Zhou Cheng.

"Whatever," Zhou Cheng glanced casually at Xiao Feng.

Then he asked, "Which TV station crew are you from?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng immediately stated, "Magic City Metropolitan Entertainment Channel, Xiao Feng here to help, what about it?"

Xiao Feng acted very assertively.

"Oh, then let me ask you, do you know the three essential elements of news? Do you know that as a reporter for a program, especially a public affairs program, you shouldn't take sides or be biased before understanding the entire truth of the matter?"

"Furthermore, you should know that reporters must never interfere with police enforcement, and just now, you have repeatedly criticized me and even tried to instruct me on how to do my job!"

Zhou Cheng spoke without restraint, then took out his phone and called He Yubing right in front of the reporter.

"Magic City Metropolitan Entertainment Channel, the reporter named Xiao Feng who came to help—this reporter's standards are insufficient. Tell the TV station to fire her directly."

As the controller of Chenyang Group, even if he wasn't the owner of that TV station, firing a small reporter was just a matter of a single sentence!

After all, Chenyang Group and its subsidiaries spent large sums of money advertising and marketing their products to these TV stations every year!

They were major financial backers for these TV stations! They would never offend a major backer like Chenyang Group for the sake of one reporter.

Zhou Cheng hung up the phone after speaking.

Then, he led Zhao Yier towards the police car to return to the police station first.

Xiao Feng, who was standing right next to Zhou Cheng and heard his words firsthand, curled her lips dismissively.

She grumbled internally, 'Just fire her like that? So domineering. What, are you a domineering CEO disguised as a Police Officer?'

After complaining, she prepared to find the cameraman to get the footage she had just taken. She was determined to fiercely denounce Zhou Cheng online!

However, only a few minutes later, she received a call from the station manager.

"Xiaoqing, the station has received many complaints about you, so you don't need to come to the station tomorrow. After you return, just follow the resignation procedure..."

"???" Xiao Feng froze upon hearing the station manager's words.

How could it be so fast?!

"Station Manager, I..."

"No need to say more. All your compensation will be paid out. Let's handle this with dignity..."

...Zhou Cheng drove Zhao Yier back to the police station.

"Captain Wu, please let me continue to be in charge of this case."

Upon returning to the police station, Zhou Cheng immediately found Captain Wu and directly requested jurisdiction over this case.

Captain Wu asked Zhou Cheng curiously upon hearing this, "You think something is wrong with this case?"

"Yes. Although that young man was practicing medicine illegally and did take quite a bit of money from neighbors and acquaintances, he showed no intention of running away,

and judging by his expression, he seemed gravely ill. Therefore, I suspect he has no motive to swindle so much money from the villagers and neighbors."

"Furthermore, he is the only one in his family, and that shop is also his. He shouldn't be short of money."

Zhou Cheng stated some initial analyses, though he omitted deeper details, such as the fact that Yang Jian actually possessed a special ability that allowed him to absorb diseases from others.

"Now that you mention it, there are indeed suspicious points. Fine, you will be responsible for this case. I have complete confidence in you," Captain Wu replied.
