Chapter 191: Tang Chen Was Arrested

Tang Chen was very smart. The new Police Bureau Chief took action against Chen Laosan’s bar as soon as he took office. It was clearly aimed at him, but what was the reason? He didn’t seem to have any grudge against this Bureau Chief, right?

After hanging up the call with Liu Yanran, Tang Chen put away his mobile phone. Yang Mi hugged his waist worriedly and asked, “Tang Chen, how did it go? Did you find out anything?”

Tang Chen shook his head and said, “I haven’t found any useful clues for now, but don’t worry. No matter what happens, I can handle it. Go take a shower and get ready for bed.”

Yang Mi also knew that Tang Chen was sensible in handling matters, so she didn’t say anything else. She said “Mm,” and then walked into the bathroom to prepare for her shower.

Tang Chen narrowed his eyes, rested his right arm on the table, and began to think.

Ding dong!

Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang. Tang Chen was puzzled. Who would come to his house so late? Thinking this, he walked to the door, said, “Who is it?” and opened the door at the same time.

The door opened. Outside stood about five or six men. They all had cold expressions and looked very grim. The leader had a square face, looked to be in his early forties, with sharp features and an authoritative air even without showing anger.

“Who are you people? Why are you coming to Young Master’s house in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?” Tang Chen said unhappily. These guys looked fierce and didn’t seem like good people.

The middle-aged man in the lead snorted coldly and said to Tang Chen, “Are you Tang Chen? I am Bureau Chief Liu from the Police Station. This is my ID.” As he spoke, this idiot took out a police officer’s certificate from his pocket. Tang Chen glanced at it; it had the name Liu Jiangnan and his serial number, among other details.

“Oh, what do you want with Young Master? Has Young Master broken the law?” Tang Chen carefully examined Liu Jiangnan. So this guy was the new Bureau Chief. What was he doing charging into his house so late at night?

Liu Jiangnan laughed coldly and said, “Several major cases have occurred in the city recently. Tonight, we received a tip that someone was selling heroin at Charm Bar. Our officers went and indeed arrested these criminals. After interrogation, the heroin sellers voluntarily confessed that you supplied the goods. So you need to come with us to the Police Station now. Let’s go.”

At his command, the police officers behind him responded and took out handcuffs, moving toward Tang Chen.

“Don’t touch me!” Tang Chen snorted coldly and said, “You say Young Master is selling heroin or something? What evidence do you have?”

Liu Jiangnan smiled confidently and said, “The criminals’ testimony is evidence. Not only that, we also investigated the flow of funds at Charm Bar and found that several large sums were transferred from one account. That account is yours. If you didn’t have any transactions with them, why would you transfer so much money every month?”

Tang Chen knew about the transfers. After all, he often had the System transfer money to Chen Laosan for bar renovations or to reward his subordinates. The key issue was that this idiot Liu Jiangnan claimed the heroin sellers had pointed to him as the supplier. Wasn’t that a joke?

Tang Chen asked himself: he had never been involved with drugs or anything like that, and he certainly couldn’t have supplied any goods to them. Even if he had supplied the goods, he wouldn’t be stupid enough to do such things in his own territory. So the question was: Chen Laosan said he and his men definitely did not sell heroin, but Liu Jiangnan insisted someone had betrayed him. Was Chen Laosan lying?

“Arrest him!” Seeing Tang Chen suddenly fall silent, Liu Jiangnan waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to arrest Tang Chen.

“Yes!” Several police officers rushed over, grabbed Tang Chen, and were about to put the handcuffs on him.

“Don’t touch me!” Tang Chen was furious. He pushed the police officers away with force and shouted coldly, “Young Master hasn’t committed any crime! Why are you arresting me?”

“Tang Chen, are you resisting arrest?” Liu Jiangnan scolded angrily, then took out a handgun from his clothes and said loudly, “Suspect Tang Chen is resisting arrest and assaulting police officers. Final warning: if you do not cooperate, you will be shot on the spot!”

Click, click!

The other police officers quickly drew their handguns and aimed them at Tang Chen, looking fierce and ready to shoot at any moment.

“System, what should Young Master do? Think of a way.” Tang Chen was also anxious and had to ask the System in his mind if there was a solution.

The System said calmly, “Respected Host, this System believes it is better for you not to resist. After all, you know human laws. Not to mention whether you can escape under so many guns, even if you did, do you think the charge of killing police officers would be light?”

Tang Chen thought about it and agreed. Before things were clarified, it was better not to act impulsively. He smiled, straightened up, and said, “Bureau Chief Liu, why are you so excited? Who said Young Master assaulted police officers or resisted arrest? Young Master just had an itch. Young Master is a good child who obeys the law. If you want to arrest me, take me back for questioning.”

Liu Jiangnan obviously didn’t believe Tang Chen’s lie. You call yourself a good kid? Do you think I’m an idiot?

“Hmph, you’d better not move. Arrest him!” Liu Jiangnan did not put his gun away but directed the others to handcuff Tang Chen. This time, Tang Chen obediently let them cuff him.

“Tang Chen, what’s going on? Why are you arrested?” Yang Mi, who had just finished her shower, exclaimed in shock. Her hair was still wet as she ran over, completely unaware of what had happened.

Tang Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, “It’s nothing, my dear. The police uncles just want to take me to the Police Station to cooperate with some investigations. Wait for me at home until I return.”

Liu Jiangnan walked over, grabbed Tang Chen’s shoulder, sneered coldly, and said, “I’m afraid it won’t be that easy for you to come back. Put him in the car.” As he spoke, he pushed Tang Chen forcefully, and the other police officers grabbed Tang Chen and put him in the police car.

“Tang Chen, Tang Chen!” Watching the police car gradually disappear into the night, Yang Mi was so anxious that fine sweat beaded on her forehead. She kept muttering, “What to do, what to do,” when she suddenly remembered something. She hurried to the living room, picked up her mobile phone, and made a call. When the call connected, she said anxiously, “Officer Liu, save Tang Chen! He’s been taken away!”

About twenty minutes later, Tang Chen was brought to the Police Station. As soon as he got out of the car, Tang Chen noticed about a dozen Special Forces-like people on guard outside. The atmosphere seemed somewhat oppressive.

Tang Chen casually smiled and teased Liu Jiangnan, “Bureau Chief Liu, I’m just here to cooperate with your investigation. There’s no need for such a big show.”

Liu Jiangnan sneered coldly, then punched Tang Chen in the abdomen and whispered in his ear, “This isn’t a big show. We have plenty of time today to play with you properly. Take him away!”

A surge of anger rose in Tang Chen’s heart. Things were very clear now: this Liu Jiangnan was definitely targeting him. But why was he so focused on him? Was there some conspiracy?

This was the second time Tang Chen had been brought to the interrogation room. The police handcuffed him to the chair and then left directly. Unlike before, they did not confiscate his mobile phone, apparently not afraid that he would call for help.

Ring, ring!

The mobile phone rang. Tang Chen took it out and saw it was from Boss Pang. He answered and said, “Old Pang, I guess Yang Mi called and told you, right?”

Boss Pang said concernedly on the other end, “Yes, Young Master Tang. Miss Yang sounded very anxious. What exactly is going on? What should I do? Should I find a lawyer?”

Tang Chen thought for a moment and said, “No need to find a lawyer. This new Bureau Chief is targeting Young Master. Finding a lawyer won’t help. First, meet with Chen Laosan, and then… understand?”

Boss Pang quickly replied, “Yes, Young Master Tang. I will definitely do as you say. Please don’t worry.”

Tang Chen gave a satisfied “Mm,” then hung up the phone and turned off his mobile phone directly. A bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face. He tapped his fingers on the table and muttered to himself, “Liu Jiangnan, you want to play with Young Master? Fine. Young Master will use public opinion pressure to crush you!”
