Chen Kang, furious, punched a police officer in the face.

"You dare assault a police officer?" exclaimed the cop, enraged, as he and two other officers pounced on Chen Kang.

By this time, a crowd had gathered around to watch the commotion, and Lin Chen squeezed into the crowd. Watching the scuffle unfold, he couldn't help but laugh.

Although Chen Kang had some training, he was no match for the three policemen, who were not pushovers. After a few exchanges, they had him pinned to the ground and handcuffed.

"You dare assault a police officer? You're done for," said the policeman who had been hit, raising his hand to slap Chen Kang.

Just then, Lin Chen stepped forward and grabbed the policeman's arm, "Comrade, the kid lost his temper a bit. Just give him a lecture; there's no need to take it this seriously."

The policeman glared at Lin Chen, "I don't need you to teach me how to do my job. Let go of my hand now."

Lin Chen released his grip, smiling faintly, "If you really want to slap him, go ahead. I was just looking out for you. He is the second young master of the Chen family from Capital City. You should be aware of the consequences of hitting him."

"What?" The policeman was startled upon hearing Lin Chen's words.

The boy had been claiming to be from the Chen family while he was struggling. Could it be true?

With this in mind, the cop approached Chen Kang, "Are you really from the Chen family?"

Chen Kang, handcuffed and fuming, said, "Of course I am. Give me a phone, and I'll make a call to prove it."

The policeman uncuffed Chen Kang and handed him a phone.

Chen Kang dialed a number and briefly explained the situation.

"Master Chen, please wait a moment. I will contact them immediately," said a respectful voice on the other end.

Soon, the policeman's phone began to ring, and his expression turned sour as he saw the caller ID.

The call was from the precinct chief. As soon as he picked up, he heard an infuriated voice, "Wang Dali, you son of a bitch, how dare you detain the second young master of the Chen family? Do you think you can mess with the Chen family? The Deputy Chief of the City Bureau has already called me, release him immediately and make a proper apology."

"Yes, yes!" Wang Dali wiped his sweat, hung up, and hurried over to Chen Kang.

"Master Chen, there has been a misunderstanding, and our conduct in law enforcement was improper. We will definitely take this seriously and correct it," said Wang Dali with a smile.

Chen Kang had acted on impulse when he hit the police officer, and now felt he had gone too far, so he waved his hand dismissively, "Forget about it."

Seeing that Chen Kang did not pursue the matter further, the three officers breathed a sigh of relief.

The onlookers were taken aback by the scene. When had police enforcement become so civilized that they apologized even after being hit?

Meanwhile, Wang Dali's gaze fixed on Lin Chen, who stood nearby with his arms crossed, observing the commotion.

Chen Kang's branded clothes clearly identified him as a wealthy young master, while Lin Chen's attire screamed poor loser.

Even though Chen Kang had just said he wouldn't pursue the matter, the three officers still felt uneasy.

But given the fierce way Chen Kang and Lin Chen had been fighting, it seemed their enmity ran deep. With this in mind, Wang Dali came up with an idea.

"Hey you, I'm talking to you! Get over here and apologize to Master Chen," demanded Wang Dali, still full of anger.

If Lin Chen hadn't intervened, Chen Kang would have ended up in the station, and who knows how much suffering he would have endured. Chen Kang initially wanted to shield Lin Chen from trouble, but thinking of the grudge between them over a stolen love, his mouth, which had opened to speak, closed once again.

He was resolved to let Lin Chen suffer a bit before stepping in to defuse the situation.

Thinking of this, Chen Kang sneered and leaned against the Santana, with an expression on his face that seemed to take joy in the disaster unfolding.

After the call ended, the three policemen's sudden change in attitude didn't require any guesswork for Lin Chen to know the reason, but he hadn't expected that his well-meaning effort to help Chen Kang would backfire and bring trouble upon himself.

Lin Chen shook his head helplessly and said cheerfully to Wang Dali, "Comrade police officer, I've always been the victim here. You all saw it just now— he hit my car and even threw a brick at me. And what about the fact that he just attacked a police officer? He's the real thug; you should arrest him, right?"

"Cut the crap. If I tell you to apologize, you apologize, or believe it or not, I'll take you to the station and detain you for a few days," Wang Dali threatened.

"That won't do, if anyone should apologize, it should be him to me. What is this, are the police and the criminals teaming up to bully me, a common citizen?" With that, Lin Chen gave Wang Dali a significant accusation.

"What's this? The police enforcement is so unjust!"

"Exactly, this young man is obviously the victim, why should he apologize?"

Wang Dali's face started to look ugly upon hearing the murmurs from the surrounding citizens.

He put on a stern face and said coldly, "We will investigate who is right and who is wrong in this incident. Since you're not cooperating with our work, come with us for now."

Wang Dali had already thought it through; in the midst of a crowd, once he got Lin Chen to the station, he would be the one calling the shots on how to handle him.

With that, he gave the other two a look.

The two understood immediately and moved to grab Lin Chen from both sides to twist him into the car.

"Ouch, my arm, my arm is broken!" Just as one of the skinny police officers got hold of Lin Chen's arm, Lin Chen let out a howl of pain.

The skinny officer was frustrated inside; he hadn't used any force, so he couldn't understand the intensity of the reaction.

In the next instant, the skinny police officer saw a big fist coming straight for his forehead.

"Damn, kid, you dare attack a police officer!" The skinny officer cursed angrily after getting punched.

The other two were also excited, finally finding a legitimate reason to apprehend Lin Chen. The three of them charged at Lin Chen like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.

However, Lin Chen's Combat Power was far stronger than Chen Kang's, and in virtually the blink of an eye, the three police officers were knocked down.

"Kid, you dare to hit a police officer; you're done for," Wang Dali said as he reached for his phone to call for backup.

Lin Chen smiled and picked up his phone, "No need for you to call, I'll call for backup for you!"

"Hello! Is this Director Li of the Capital City Public Security Bureau? It's Lin Chen. Yes, that's right. Hmm, I'm in Taihe residential area on a mission and have encountered interference from the local police. To prevent any adverse consequences, I have subdued a few officers.

Yes, that's right."

Listening to Lin Chen's phone call, Wang Dali was scared witless, thinking he must have neglected to read his fortune before leaving home today. This guy was even more troublesome than the one before.

Capital City Public Security Bureau Director Li Shuang was furious as well. The Dragon Group had already informed the city bureau about this mission, requesting their close cooperation. This was anything but cooperation; not only did they fail to assist, but they also interfered with the case, which was a straight road to disaster.

Sure enough, not long afterward, Wang Dali's phone rang again. This time, the chief of the sub-bureau lost his temper completely. Wang Dali had already caused trouble before, and now, before they could even deal with that mess, the idiot had created an even bigger problem.

"Wang Dali, do you have a death wish or what? If you want to die, jump off a building yourself; don't drag me down with you. You dare to disrupt the Dragon Group's case, do you want to bury me? Apologize to them right now and get back here immediately!" the chief of the sub-bureau erupted in foul language.

Wang Dali and the other two police officers were close to tears. These higher-ups were showing off their power, why couldn't they find somewhere without people around to do their scuffling and leave us little cops out of it?

After another round of apologies from the three officers, Lin Chen was gracious enough to forgive them without holding a grudge.

Watching the three police officers leave in a sorry state, Chen Kang suddenly couldn't help laughing, "Lin bro, I am convinced. I give up, Rui is all yours."
