Chapter 56: The Ridiculous Boast

  "What, you volunteer to be sent down?" Before getting off work, Song Baiyu found Luo Shuyuan and told her of his plan. After hearing this, Luo Shuyuan was shocked again, "Do you know what being sent down means? It's possible that you'll have to stay in the countryside for your whole life?"

  Luo Shuwen used to dislike Song Boyu very much, but after being helped by Song Boyu in the municipal cemetery, she no longer resented him. On the contrary, she was delighted that Song Boyu had captured more than a dozen thugs who were causing trouble in Tuanzi Village.

  Lu Shuwan knew that someone must be trying to frame Song Boyu and was thinking of ways to protect him, but she didn't expect Song Boyu to volunteer to go down himself, which left her a bit perplexed.

  "After all, I'm also an outcast at the police station. Maybe I can find a suitable place for myself down there?" Song Baiyu sighed intentionally as he looked at Luo Shuyuan who rarely showed concern for him.

  Song Baiyu vaguely felt that there was a huge conspiracy surrounding himself or the municipal bureau.

  It's absolutely no coincidence that the mercenary raid half a month ago, the disturbance caused by more than 20 thugs in Tunzi Village last night and the failure of the police action. When you think about the Jin Yang Cement Factory incident and the large-scale operation arranged by the Municipal Bureau recently, many suspicious points emerge. The hidden enemy is trying to create a big conflict to distract the police force on one hand, while making preparations for activities in a high-profile manner on the other, making the police exhausted from running around. Whether this time's enemy is targeting the police or personal individuals, this enemy is not simple.

  "Don't push me to the limit, or else you'll be asking for trouble." Song Baiyu let out a soft breath, his eyes flashing with a hint of anger.

  With Song Baiyu's strength, he naturally didn't take these conspiracies seriously. He requested a demotion because he had some private matters to attend to.

  "You..." Luo Shuyuan was unaware of Song Boyu's complicated thoughts, and upon hearing his words, her eyes widened in preparation for anger. However, she recalled her attitude towards Song Boyu over the past two months, and her tone softened as she said gently: "The reason I didn't let you participate in this operation is that it's too dangerous, with a high possibility of life-threatening risks."

  Seeing Luo Shuyuan's gentle explanation, Song Boyu felt embarrassed to continue teasing her and nodded calmly instead. "Thank you, Director Luo, for your concern. Since the top has decided to demote me, it's clear that someone has made up their mind to deal with me. With many things going on at the police station now, I don't want Director Luo to be implicated because of me."

  Lu Shuwen carefully looked at Song Baiyu and found that there was no resentment in his eyes, so she lightly opened her lips, "Since that's the case, you'll go to Jinshan Town Police Station for a while, and I'll think of a way to get you back after things have passed."

  When she said this, Luo Shuwen showed a hint of helplessness. She was just the head of a small police station and there were some things that were beyond her control.

  Song Baiyu showed a grateful smile to Luo Shuyuan before walking out of the director's office.

  Outside the Times Square Computer Training School, Su Tingting was walking home with a book in her hand, and Lin Yue was driving a blue bird slowly following beside her.

  "Tingting, get in the car, I'll send you home." Lin Yue showed a sunny smile and beckoned to Su Tingting.

  "Sorry, I don't deserve it." Su Tingting said without turning her head back, after knowing that Lin Yue had suspicions about her, Su Tingting's attitude towards Lin Yue made a one hundred and eighty degree turn.

  "Ting Ting, following that young policeman will not bring you happiness, be realistic." Lin Yue continued to shout, his tone sincerely.

  "I just like Little Policeman, what's it to you? If you keep pestering me like this, be careful I'll sue you for harassment." Su Tingting heard Lin Yue say something wrong about Song Boyu, and she suddenly stopped in her tracks, furiously shouting at Lin Yue.

  Times Square is the most popular place in Jinyang City, and it's even more lively at night. The beautiful cars and beauties are already eye-catching, and with a street performer's gimmick of asking for love, Lin Yue and Su Tingting become the focus of attention from passersby.

  When Su Tingting's ruthless words were heard, a burst of laughter erupted from the people around her, and Lin Yue's face turned red and white.

  "What if he can't even be a small policeman, are you going to follow him and beg for a living on the streets?" A fierce glint flashed in Lin Yue's eyes, because of Su Tingting's relationship, he had been ruthless towards Song Boyu from the very beginning, and it was actually his doing that Song Boyu was demoted.

  Yesterday evening, Lin Yue followed ******** to a banquet when he inadvertently overheard the secretary mention Song Baiyu's name while on the phone. Seeing the secretary's hesitant expression after hanging up the phone, he was momentarily moved and whispered a few words in the secretary's ear, allowing the originally indecisive secretary to make up his mind.

  "Since someone wants to deal with you, I'll lend a knife to kill, let you go to the countryside to play with mud for a few years, and see how you can still compete with me for women." Lin Yue's heart surged with satisfaction as he thought of his own casual remark that had decided Song Baiyu's fate without arousing the secretary's suspicion.

  Upon hearing Lin Yue's threatening words, Su Tingting wrinkled her brow in disgust and said disdainfully: "What can you do? The small car you're driving now is probably also a public vehicle, what ability do you have to prevent Bo Yu from becoming a police officer?"

  Su Tingting exposed the fact that Lin Yue was showing off in a public car, and the cheers from the crowd turned into whispers. Some people even started pointing at the blue bird's license plate and whispering to each other. Lin Yue's face suddenly turned iron-green, and he stepped on the accelerator fiercely. The originally slow-moving vehicle suddenly rushed forward like a runaway horse.

  "Watch out!" Su Tingting's eyes suddenly saw an old man slowly moving forward in front of the blue bird, she exclaimed and immediately rushed to the front of the blue bird, pushing the old man to one side, while she herself was inevitably knocked flying by the blue bird.

  "Old man, can't you watch where you're going?" When Su Tingting shouted "be careful", Lin Yue subconsciously slowed down the car. Just as he saw that the old man was fine, Su Tingting was knocked to the ground by her own car. His face immediately turned pale. He was driving the secretary's official vehicle on business today and had taken a detour to show off, if it got out that he had hit someone with his car, it would definitely incur the secretary's wrath, and being benched was a possibility.

  The situation of the old man who was pushed to one side by Su Tingting was also not optimistic, he seemed to be frightened silly, after walking two steps and suddenly fainting, but what everyone didn't notice was that the old man happened to fall beside Su Tingting, and his hand that fell down just happened to land on Su Tingting's thigh.

  Seeing the old man also being frightened and falling to the ground, Lin Yue's heart was even more flustered. While thinking of a way to deal with the sudden unexpected event and get himself out of trouble, a burst of flashing magnesium light suddenly shone painfully into his eyes, startling him awake.

  "Stop taking pictures, put the camera away!" Lin Yue was furious and shouted out of the car window, but soon she was stunned. The reporters who were wildly taking pictures outside the car were not the county reporters who usually tried to please him, but unfamiliar faces, with the words "provincial reporter" faintly visible on their chests.

  "Excuse me, sir, is what the lady just said true? Are you really driving a company car?"

  "Sir, this is a busy district, how can you suddenly speed up?"

  "Excuse me, sir, are you working for the government?"

  “……”

  One after another, the questions bombarded Lin Yue's head, making him dizzy and swollen. His mouth moved, but he couldn't say a word. He wanted to call for help, but didn't know who to call at this time.

  "Don't you journalists have any conscience? Two injured people are lying on the ground, and you're ignoring them to dig up so-called news material." A loud shout rose from the crowd, and the reporter who was holding a microphone and talking non-stop to Lin Yue immediately shut up.

  Lin Yue thought he had come to his rescue, and gratefully looked at the person who spoke up for him, but soon he was stunned, because the person who spoke up for him only left him with a back view, and that back view looked so familiar.

  At this time, the man was bent over, struggling to carry the old man into an Audi by the side of the road. Immediately after, he turned around and carried Su Tingting, who had fainted on the ground, into the Audi as well.

  At the moment when that person turned around, Lin Yue finally saw the other's face clearly.

  "Li Yi, it's actually Li Yi, the famous philanthropist and authority in traditional Chinese medicine." Lin Yue almost had a heart attack when he saw that face. He knew Li Yi because Li Yi was recently going to inspect the investment environment in Jinyang City. In order to persuade Li Yi to invest in Jinyang, they specially invited him to a banquet, but Li Yi didn't take them seriously at all.

  Li Yi looked at Lin Yue with disgust, as if looking at a fly. He said coldly: "I know you, don't try to escape from the scene. I will send the two injured people to the provincial hospital immediately, and you just wait here for the traffic police to handle it."

  Li Yi finished speaking and quickly got into his Audi, the crowd voluntarily gave way to the Audi, which soon drove out of the downtown area unimpeded.

  Lin Yue sat numbly in the driver's seat of the Blue Bird, his eyes a dull gray, his back already completely soaked.

  Just a few minutes ago, he was still shouting that Song Baiyu couldn't be a policeman, but now his career is completely over.

  If it were a reporter from the provincial capital, he could still get through with the help of his friends in the industry and let them give him a pass. But for Li Yi, he was completely helpless. Even if someone wanted to see Li Yi, they had to make an appointment in advance, let alone himself, a mere errand boy. Thinking of Li Yi's gaze at him made Lin Yue suddenly feel that his boasting today was so foolish and ridiculous.

  When the cold handcuffs fell on Lin Yue's wrists, Lin Yue clearly saw the passersby's mocking gaze and the policeman's schadenfreude expression.
