8 PM at night at the pet hospital.
After more than an hour of critical care, Xiao Bai was finally out of danger.
Ma Dong also heaved a sigh of relief.
Xiao Bai had many broken bones and needed to stay in the hospital for a while.
Ma Dong immediately returned to the bridge after paying the deposit.
Presently, there was no sign of Qin Chuan and the hooligans on the bridge.
He couldn’t reach Qin Chuan’s phone either.
Ma Dong asked the homeless people there.
They said that the people had been taken away by the police.
Ma Dong instantly panicked.
He thought for a moment and immediately dialed Wang Zhixing’s number.
Wang Zhixing was walking out of the shopping mall.
He had just bought another few more pieces of young and fashionable clothing.
The female salespeople were all praising him for his good looks, and he was really pleased.
Just then, his phone rang.
It was Ma Dong. He could not help but mutter, “He probably wants me to help him find his dog again.”
“Hello, Old Ma, what’s the matter?”
…
“What? The Sect Master has been arrested?
“Tell me, what exactly happened?”
A few minutes later.
“Okay, I understand. I’ll call Jiajun right away.”
“Don’t be too anxious. Jiajun is the director of the city’s public security bureau. If he steps in, Sect Master will be fine.”
After hanging up, Wang Zhixing found a bench and sat down.
He hesitated for a moment before dialing his son’s number.
“Hello, son!”
A surprised voice came from the other end of the call. “Dad, your voice? How…”
“Don’t worry about my voice for now. I have something urgent to talk to you about.”
“What is it?”
Wang Zhixing asked, “Have you returned from your business trip?”
“I just arrived last night. I was going to look for you, but I had too many things to attend to, and I forgot again.
“Dad, I’m really sorry. What kind of son am I…”
“We’ll talk about this later. If you have nothing else to do, you should make a trip down to the southern police station.”
“Dad, what exactly happened?”
“You know Uncle Ma Dong, don’t you! When he was walking his dog earlier tonight, he met a group of hooligans. One of them kicked his dog.
“You know Uncle Ma Dong. He sees his dog as his family.
“But Uncle Ma Dong is already in his seventies. He couldn’t reason with those hooligans!
“Then, a young man happened to come over and got into a fight with those hooligans because he tried to help Uncle Ma Dong.
“In the end, that young man injured a hooligan. Now, that young man is at the police station.
“Uncle Ma Dong is burning with anxiety. You must take care of this.”
“Alright, alright. Dad, don’t get too agitated. I’ll go there right away.”
At the same time.
On the bridge, Ma Dong dialed another number.
“Hello, granddaughter! Are you busy?”
…
Beichuan City, Southern Police Station.
After getting criticized and educated, the bald man’s group of underlings were allowed to leave.
In the interrogation room, Qin Chuan sat on a chair. He had just finished his interrogation.
“Sir, when can I leave?” Qin Chuan asked.
A policeman said angrily, “Leave? You’re charged with affray. You won’t be able to escape the seven days of detainment.
“More importantly, you were so heavy-handed that you almost killed him.
“Even if you didn’t do it on purpose, do you think someone who committed manslaughter can be released without three to five years in prison?”
Qin Chuan said softly, “Isn’t he still alive?”
“That’s right! You were lucky today. Fortunately, that baldy is tough. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t have survived,” the policeman said angrily.
“So I have to stay here for a few days?”
This was the question that Qin Chuan was most concerned about. After all, his cultivation career had just started. He couldn’t let it fail just like that.
“This isn’t something that is a matter of a few days. You should think about whether that baldy will sue you or not. You left him in such a terrible state. Given his personality, he won’t let the matter rest. If he really sues you, you will be in big trouble,” said the policeman.
“Ah… how did things turn out this way?” Qin Chuan panicked.
He chose to take the blame for Ma Dong because he thought it was just an ordinary fight.
He didn’t expect it to be so serious.
Qin Chuan didn’t want to stay here for too long. Given his capabilities, he could easily do so if he wanted to leave.
But the other party was government authority. He could not go against them!
Just as he started feeling anxious, a woman came outside.
“Hello, I am Qin Chuan’s lawyer! I need to see my client.” The woman showed her lawyer’s license to the police.
After checking carefully and making sure there were no problems, the police led the woman to their superior.
Soon, the woman arrived at the interrogation room with the police officers.
She pushed open the door.
When Qin Chuan saw the woman, he couldn’t help but be taken aback.
“It’s you!” Qin Chuan exclaimed.
The woman was stunned.
It seems like he knows me.
But this was her first time meeting him.
Although she found it strange, she had important matters to settle here today, so she did not think about it for the time being.
The woman said to the police officer doing the interrogation, “Hello, officer.
“I am Ma Qingxue, Qin Chuan’s lawyer.”
As she spoke, Ma Qingxue gave them her identification card.
The officer looked at it but said nothing.
When Qin Chuan heard this, he got even more confused.
When did she become his lawyer?
Then, the police officer told Ma Qingxue about the incident.
She also knew that her grandfather accidentally injured someone, and Qin Chuan had taken the blame.
She had already thought of a few solutions that could get Qin Chuan out of the legal repercussions on the way here.
She was about to say something when the door opened.
“Ch-Chief, Director Wang is… is here,” the police officer said anxiously.
The captain frowned. “Which Director Wang?”
The police officer whispered, “The Director of the Public Security Bureau.”
When the captain heard this, his expression changed drastically. He immediately rushed out of the door.
Only Qin Chuan and Ma Qingxue were left in the interrogation room.
Qin Chuan broke the silence first. “Lawyer Ma, I didn’t hire you!”
Ma Qingxue said, “It was my grandfather who asked me to come.”
“Your grandfather?” Qin Chuan faltered. “Grandpa Ma?”
Ma Qingxue nodded. “Are you close with my grandfather?”
Qin Chuan smiled and replied, “We’re not that close, we’ve only known each other for three days.”
“Oh!” Ma Qingxue responded without much emotion.
Qin Chuan glanced at Ma Qingxue.
He didn’t think he would ever see her again.
He wanted to chat a little more, but since she was closing herself off, he did not speak.
For a moment, the interrogation room became exceptionally quiet.
A few minutes later, the door opened.
The chief walked in and said to Qin Chuan, “You can leave now.”
Qin Chuan started as he asked with uncertainty, “Really?”
The captain replied, “Would the police lie to you?”
“Oh!”
Just like that, Qin Chuan left the police station.
“Lawyer Ma, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I don’t even know how long I would have stayed inside,” Qin Chuan said.
Ma Qingxue said coolly, “You don’t have to thank me. I only did what I should do.
“Besides, I’m not the one who got you out so quickly. ”
Qin Chuan scratched his head. “Who else could it be?”
Ma Qingxue said, “Their superior.”
???
Qin Chuan was even more confused.
I’m just a poor man without a respectable background. Why would a big shot help me?
Ma Qingxue glanced at Qin Chuan and recalled his strange behavior upon seeing her.
She asked, “Do you know me?”
