71: Chapter 71 Justice resides in the hearts of the people

Inside the police station office.

Chen Hao sat lazily on the sofa, with a middle-aged man standing before him, looking at Chen Hao with a fawning expression.

Chen Hao glanced at the man and said indifferently, "How did it go?"

The man immediately broke into a smile.

"The task Young Master Chen entrusted to me, I have certainly done my utmost to carry out. Rest assured, Young Master Chen, since that Qin Mo has entered the police station, it is impossible for him to walk out again!"

"Very good! Work well for the Chen Family, and there will be no shortage of benefits for you in the future!"

"That is for certain, Young Master Chen!"

Chen Hao nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this.

Just as the man was about to leave, he hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Young Master Chen, may I ask... how did this Qin Mo offend you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao's eyes narrowed instantly.

"Li Pingsheng, because I call you Captain Li, do you really think you're someone important? You dare to pry into my affairs?"

Li Pingsheng's face turned fearful upon hearing this: "I wouldn't dare! Young Master Chen, I'm sorry, I misspoke!"

"Remember your place. You owe your position today to the support of the Chen Family, but if this dog doesn't obey, we can replace it immediately. Do you understand?"

"I... I understand!"

Li Pingsheng swallowed hard and then walked out of the office, though a trace of resentment had appeared in his eyes at some point...

...

Yanjing Qin Family.

At this moment, two armed soldiers walked up to a pavilion with serious expressions.

A middle-aged couple was sitting in the pavilion.

The man was reading a book, his calm face full of majesty, while the middle-aged woman beside him exuded an air of dignity and elegance.

One of the soldiers shouted, "Report, Chief!"

A flash of displeasure crossed the middle-aged man's face as he was interrupted, and he frowned, asking, "What is it?"

The two soldiers exchanged a glance.

"Report, Chief, Young Master Qin Mo has been framed and imprisoned!"

"What did you say?"

The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

The woman was even angrier, shouting at the middle-aged man, "Qin Hua! It's all because you insisted on waiting! Waiting for what? My son has been out there for twenty years, and who knows how much he has suffered? We finally found him, and you insisted on waiting! I'm telling you, if anything happens to my son, I will make you regret it!"

At this point, the woman began to sob softly.

Qin Hua's expression was extremely grim. He had been afraid that if his son found out about their vast family wealth, he might become a dissolute wastrel like those collateral relatives.

He had originally intended to test Qin Mo's character, but it seemed there was no time left...

"No one dares to touch the son of Qin Hua!"

Leaving behind this angry declaration, the middle-aged man stood up abruptly. His tall, burly figure strode off into the distance, and the two soldiers exchanged a glance before following him.

The middle-aged woman sobbed softly for a while, then, as if realizing something, she headed toward the residence of Old Master Qin.

Before long, the woman arrived outside a courtyard house.

Several armed soldiers were standing guard at the entrance, and they did not stop the woman when they saw her.

The woman walked straight into the study of the courtyard house, where an elderly man was reading. Upon seeing her, the old man smiled.

"Shaoying, why are you here?"

Upon hearing this, the woman began to sob softly again.

"Dad! My son Qin Mo has been arrested."

"What did you say?"

The old man immediately turned serious. He had heard his grandson had only recently been found; he hadn't expected him to be imprisoned before they could even reunite.

After thinking for a moment, the old man said with a serious face, "Shaoying, tell me slowly, what exactly happened?"

The woman quickly repeated what the soldiers had said to the old man.

Upon hearing this, the old man subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

If Qin Mo had been arrested for committing crimes himself, then he would have brought it upon himself. The Qin Family was full of loyal martyrs; no one in the Qin Family was allowed to break the law or oppress the people, let alone bully others.

But if anyone dared to provoke the Qin Family, he would let them know that this old man was not dead yet!

Thinking of this, the old man slowly stood up and said with a booming voice, "Wang Jun!"

As soon as he spoke, a muscular man walked in, fully armed, and saluted!

"Chief, what are your orders!"

The old man looked at the man with sharp, spirited eyes and said sternly, "Go mobilize the guard company and accompany my daughter-in-law to the police station!"

Upon hearing this, a look of astonishment appeared on Wang Jun's face. Old Master Qin's guard company usually carried out the most dangerous missions imaginable; when had a rescue mission ever required mobilizing the guard company?

After a brief moment of surprise, Wang Jun replied with a serious face, "Wang Jun acknowledges the Chief's orders!" Then he walked out.

After Wang Jun left, the old man smiled at the woman and said, "Shaoying, go! Bring my little grandson back!"

The woman was moved to tears of joy upon hearing this. Although the old man never engaged in nepotism or abetted evil when dealing with his own people—on the contrary, once discovered, he would always make an example of them—

the fact that he was willing to mobilize a guard company today was enough to show the status of her son in the old man's heart. Fortunately, Qin Mo had been framed.

...

Inside the Yanjing police station.

At this time, only Qin Mo remained in the interrogation room. As for the surrounding burly men, they had all been released for various reasons, leaving only Qin Mo, the victim, sitting there.

"What the hell is this? The Streamer is a victim and is still being interrogated, while that group of perpetrators just walked away?"

"Heh... how ironic! If the Streamer hadn't been livestreaming on the spot, I never would have imagined such a spectacular scene being played out here!"

"Sure enough, there are pests everywhere. The person acting in self-defense is still being interrogated, while the perpetrators have been let go. How ironic!"

"I recorded the video! I'll send it to you! Let's all post it online and let netizens across the entire web see it!"

"That's right! Let the netizens across the country see it. Justice resides in the hearts of the people!"

...

At the same time, a headline about a person acting in self-defense being detained while the perpetrators were let go instantly swept across all major charts.

The entire nation was shocked. No one expected that in Yanjing, right under the emperor's feet, such a dark incident could occur.

The internet was filled with condemnation.

However, strangely enough, before long, these news stories disappeared without a trace, as if they had never happened.

Everyone immediately realized that some powerful figure had intervened...

...

Inside the police station office.

At this moment, Chen Hao was staring at Li Pingsheng in front of him with a face full of fury.

He then roared, "Are you a pig? Didn't you see that Qin Mo was livestreaming the whole time? Did you have to make sure the whole world knew about it?"

Li Pingsheng stood there looking fearful. He hadn't expected this to happen either. If not for the Chen Family intervening at the critical moment, his official position would have been gone long ago...

"Rest assured, Young Master Chen, his livestream has already been shut down by us. Later, we can just find some excuse to brush it off. As for Qin Mo, once the internet stops talking about it, who will even remember him?"

Chen Hao nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this.

"Watch him carefully. If any more trouble arises, you won't be Captain anymore!"

After saying this, Chen Hao turned and left...
