Chapter 545: 348 Poked the tiger's den, agreed to eat together (2 more updates)
In the police station
The police officers had gathered a rough understanding of the incident at the scene and brought Shen Shuci and
a few others back to give their statements. Manager Fan, already quite drunk, sobered up due to the beating and
kicking he received. During the ride to the police station, he was still dazed.
He had not expected that upon arriving at the station, he would suddenly change his story, insisting that it was
Shen Shuci who seduced him.
"Officer, you don’t know, the young girls these days are so crafty. For a shot at climbing the ladder, they spare no
means."
"I had already told her, | have a wife, and asked her to stop, but she persisted in bothering me."
"After being rejected by me, she got angry and embarrassed, which led to this scene."
The police were dumbfounded!
Good lord, have they ever seen someone so shameless and thick-faced? You have a wife yet you go out
harassing young girls?
Shen Shuci sat at the side, slightly frowning, even the Huo Family members looked utterly astonished.
"The taxi driver said that you were the one who first made inappropriate advances towards this young lady." The
police had already questioned the few people present at the time.
"That's because she felt upset after being rejected by me, and | was merely trying to comfort her a bit, how
could it be considered inappropriate advances?"
The driver was far away, naturally unable to hear their conversation.
"And then there's this gentleman, who attackedwithout knowing the full story—" Manager Fan pointed at a
man sitting not far away, but his gaze faltered and he shrank back, intimidated by the man’s commanding
presence.
His dislocated arms had been reset, and it wasn’t a major issue, but any small movement would still drill a pain

The police officers looked at each other, realizing this man must be seriously ill.
While the police were initially assessing this gentleman, they too were taken aback. Although the Huo Family
seldom appeared in Hexi and spent most of their tout of Beijing, living a reclusive life—even if it meant
staying up late into the night—it was him who had reported the incident, compelling everyone to be extremely
alert.
The police had already taken his statement.
When asked about the reason for intervening and calling the police, he gave only eight words:
"When injustice is seen, it's my duty."
Later, the police didn’t ask further on the street but brought everyone back to the station together. Manager Fan,
clearly unfamiliar with him, continued to complain to the police, "Officer, not only did he hit me, but he also
kicked me."
Looking toward the man not far away, the police asked, "You hit him and then kicked him?"
His expression was stern, showing no emotion whatsoever, "I initially intervened just seeing the unfairness,
trying to stop the conflict. He attacked me."
Everyone: "..."
He attacked you? Are you joking with us?
Manager Fan was utterly confounded. Who in the world attacked whom?
"You need to be responsible for what you say!" Nowadays in society, even if an elderly person falls, people might
not dare to help, let alone meddle in affairs and invite trouble. Manager Fan stood up, pointing his finger at him,
clearly agitated!
What a nightmare this night had turned out to be, Shen Shuci was tough enough, and now there was another
meddler.
"Officer, these two know each other. They teamed up to beat me."
The police officer also understood that this man was just causing trouble and felt a headache coming on.
Did he even realize whom he was dealing with?
The man’s thin lips slightly parted, his voice husky and low, his gaze seeming to peer into one’s soul, chilling him
to the bone:
"Attacking me, framing and slandering, do you know how serious these offenses are?"
The police officer muttered under his breath. Manager Fan stood dazed for a long while, as if struck dumb.

Shen Shuci looked at the person next to her, lips pressed tightly, not speaking, feeling somewhat strange at
heart.
"Officer, he is..." Manager Fan clearly hadn't expected to encounter such a formidable obstacle.
The police officer nodded.
Even the foolish man realized the seriousness of the situation, becoming completely flustered.
"Both of you, please sign here, and you'll be free to go."
The two walked over and signed their
respective statements. Manager Fan

Then looking at the two bulky men beside him, and considering this was in Hexi... he roughly guessed the
identity.
His head buzzed, and all thoughts of stirring up trouble vanished. He had poked a hornet’s nest; now, preserving
his life was the priority.
