At the police station.
They didnât see Chen Yuan first, but the Superintendent Qin that Qiao Weimin knew.
Qiao Weimin was good at dealing with the ways of the world. When he saw the man, he immediately handed him a cigarette and exchanged a few words with him before going straight to the point.
âSuperintendent Qin, itâs like this. What did my nephew do? Why was he brought to the police station?â
He then spoke up for Chen Yuan with a smile. âHeâs good at his studies. He studied at Rao Cityâs middle school and is also one of the top students in Class A. He looks like a very obedient child usually and doesnât seem to cause trouble.â
Superintendent Qin had known him for many years. When Qiao Weiminâs company was still around, he had once helped him. Therefore, when Qiao Weimin came looking for him personally, he gave him face. He didnât even smoke as he held the cigarette in his hand and said in a daze, âLast night, our team underwent a sudden inspection at Wangjiang Road. We bumped into him at Sky Bar and foundâ¦â
It was a prohibited item that young people nowadays liked very much, but it was illegal to carry such things around!
Qiao Weiminâs eyebrows twitched a few times. He didnât dare to believe that Chen Yuan would do such a thing.
Aunt Chen also didnât believe that Chen Yuan would do such a thing. She looked at the police officer with a worried expression. âSir, did you guys make a mistake? Chen Yuan is not that kind of child. He didnât even touch those things when he was working outside. Now that heâs back in school, why would he touch themâ¦â
Superintendent Qin raised his eyebrows and looked at her. He said meaningfully, âHe has been in society before? No wonder.â
When he heard from Qiao Weimin, he thought he was a good student, but it turned out he was a hooligan.
âThatâs not what I meantâ¦â
âAunt Chen, donât be anxious. Iâll talk.â Qiao Weimin stopped Aunt Chen, afraid that she would say something wrong due to her anxiousness.
He looked at the man with relaxed brows and said in a deep voice, âSuperintendent Qin, itâs like this. That child had a period of rebelliousness in the past. He played with a few young men in society, but he isnât bad by nature. This must be a misunderstanding. Heâs in his third year of high school and is about to take the college entrance examination. He hasnât been to school for the past two days. The school teachers are also asking about him. Do you think⦠you can give me some face and let him go first?â
To him, Chen Yuanâs matter could be big or small. Whether Chen Yuan was the kind of person who would bring contraband items was not important. What was important was how to handle it.
If the police released him without making a scene, it would be equivalent to it not having happened.
âIf his grades are good, heâll definitely be admitted to a key university in the future. If thereâs a stain on his record, the school might not want him anymore. This child is really not bad by nature. Heâs also filial and often helps his mother at the stall. How could such a child be involved in such things?â
Qiao Weimin looked at him with a burning gaze. His attitude was very clear. âInspector Qin, donât you agree?â
Normally, this wasnât a big deal. Usually, they could find connections to get people out, unless their families were unwilling to.
Qiao Weimin knew that he still had some face left with him. He wasnât worried that he wouldnât be able to bail Chen Yuan outâ¦
Who knew.
âNot this time, Chairman Qiao.â The other party looked determined. âI really canât.â
With that, he looked around and made sure that no one was passing by. Then, he said hesitantly, âIf you had asked me this in the past, I would definitely give you some face. But this time, itâs different. This time, the higher-ups organized an assault inspection throughout the city. At night, they submitted the name list of all the people they found. The higher-ups want us to handle everything seriously and report everything on the news⦠As a small director, I donât have the authority to release anyone.â
