Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld-Chapter 90 - 40: Attempt

"Officer Lin."

Fang Zheng smiled lightly and extended his hand:

"We meet again."

"You know each other?"

In an instant, the girl, the gaming guy, and their companions' expressions changed, realizing Fang Zheng not only knew the other party but was quite familiar.

"Yes."

Facing Fang Zheng's friendliness, Officer Lin had a blank expression and showed no intention of shaking hands, and asked:

"What's going on exactly?"

His attitude made the few people's hearts, which had just sunk, rise again. The gaming guy said:

"Officer, we're a social media studio with over a million followers online. This guy damaged our equipment and assaulted us."

Speaking, he gestured towards Fang Zheng.

However, seeing Fang Zheng glance over, he subconsciously felt unease and quickly put his hand down.

He was smart.

By stating that he had over a million followers first, it indicated significant influence, and if wrongly judged, he could publicize it online.

Officer Lin's badge might even be stripped off.

Indeed.

Upon hearing they had over a million followers, Officer Lin's expression changed involuntarily.

"Officer."

Wen Lei urgently said:

"He's lying. These people were filming us without permission, refused to stop, and attacked us. Fang Zheng acted in self-defense."

"True." Fang Zheng's voice was calm:

"These people were trying to extort money from me. I remember extortion over five thousand yuan can result in three to ten years imprisonment."

It's thirty thousand, not five thousand.

Officer Lin wanted to remind them but reconsidered and shook his head:

"You're each claiming to be right, and I don't know what really happened. Fortunately, there's surveillance here, let's check it and see who's in the wrong."

With his authority, checking the surveillance footage wasn't difficult.

Soon.

The scene from earlier played out on the tablet.

"Look!"

Wen Lei pointed at the blonde-haired person in the video:

"He made the first move, my friend reacted in self-defense."

"Bullshit!" The girl raised her eyebrows:

"Brother Qiang didn't even touch him, and our equipment was damaged by him. Assaulting and destroying property, you're going to prison!"

She glared angrily at Fang Zheng.

"From the video, it indeed appears your people moved first and also filmed without permission. You were in the wrong initially." Officer Lin pursed his lips and gestured to the blonde-haired person slowly writhing on the ground:

"This person doesn't look too well, better send them to the hospital first. As for the damaged equipment, Fang Zheng, you should compensate a bit."

"Consider it medical expenses for hitting someone so hard."

He was trying to mediate, planning to smooth over the incident, but neither side agreed.

"Why should I?"

The gaming guy's voice was high-pitched, his handsome face twisting:

"He assaults people, destroys things; he should be arrested. And if Qiangzi is seriously injured, he should rot in prison!"

"Don't think being from the Public Security Bureau means you can play favorites."

"I'm going to post the video online!"

He said, taking out his phone to capture the footage.

Officer Lin frowned.

Though it seemed he was favoring Fang Zheng, in reality, he was giving these people a way out, given the person standing before them was a notorious figure in the Public Security Bureau.

At that moment.

Fang Zheng had previously punched and cracked a guard wall, revealing his inhuman strength; ten people might not be his match if fists started flying.

"Crack…"

The sound of breaking echoed.

Fang Zheng impassively released his grip, letting fragments of the phone clatter to the ground.

"What are you doing?" The gaming guy's expression changed drastically.

"Fang Zheng, don't be rash." Officer Lin similarly tensed his body, stepping back while pressing a hand to his waist, ready to draw his pistol if needed.

Facing Fang Zheng, only a pistol could afford him some sense of security.

"I said, do not film without permission." Fang Zheng's voice turned cold:

"Can't you understand?"

"Gulp…"

The gaming guy's throat rolled; despite Fang Zheng's inactivity, merely staring quietly, he felt like a beast was eyeing him.

Their body instinctively recoiled.

"The video is unclear."

Fang Zheng said:

"It looks like I took their equipment, but I never touched it. The items were deliberately broken by him."

He gestured toward the blonde-haired person.

"These people were secretly filming, attempting extortion, with an amount exceeding a hundred thousand yuan, enough for a prison sentence."

"Officer Lin, arrest them."

"You think you can arrest them just like that?" The girl shouted angrily:

"You're the one assaulting, destroying things; it's you who should be arrested. If the Public Security Bureau shelters you today, we'll expose Qu City's law enforcement tomorrow."

"What's going on?" Amid Officer Lin's dilemma, a deep voice resonated:

"Why are you all gathered here?"

"Chief He." Officer Lin saw the newcomer and bowed his head immediately.

"Mm."

He Jiangdong looked towards Fang Zheng:

"Boss Fang, we meet again."

"Chief He." Fang Zheng nodded:

"It's been a while."

What is going on?

The gaming guy, the girl, and others' expressions changed.

Who is this person that even the chief of the Public Security Bureau knows him? Did they poke a hornet's nest?

He Jiangdong disregarded their intentions, asking:

"What exactly is going on?"

"Just a minor issue." Fang Zheng recounted the situation briefly:

"Chief He, what do you think should be done?"

"Arrest them." He Jiangdong gestured broadly, signaling Officer Lin to proceed:

"Detain them for a few days and investigate further."

"Why should we?" The girl screamed:

"You collude with businesses, I will expose you online; don't think being the chief of the Public Security Bureau means you can cover everything up."

Officer Lin also showed a distressed expression.

The lighting was too dim; from the video, it couldn't be discerned whether Fang Zheng broke the equipment or if it was deliberately done by the blonde-haired person, but Fang Zheng's action of seizing the items was undeniable.
