Chapter 1575 - 1571: Whose Place Is This?
"Forget it, I’m not dealing with you anymore. Hurry up and take the students away, I’ll pretend the previous incident never happened." Although he was unwilling in his heart, he had no other solution but to say helplessly. Now he could only hope Lin Feng would quickly take these students away so the police station could return to normal order. As for the incident where Lin Feng hit him, he could only swallow his pride.
But what frustrated Zhang Jian was that even after he conceded, Lin Feng was still relentless about the matter.
"No, that’s not going to work. I must see Li Jingpu today." Lin Feng said directly without even glancing at Zhang Jian. He wanted to uncover the truth, and no one could stop him.
"You still want to see Li Jingpu? Then don’t blame me for being rude. I’ll arrest you first! I want to see if you dare to hit a policeman!" Zhang Jian, already suppressing his anger, exploded when he heard Lin Feng’s words. Losing control, he shouted and charged toward Lin Feng, his rage consuming his reason. A teacher acting so arrogantly before him—no matter who Lin Feng was, he planned to arrest him. He couldn’t believe Lin Feng would dare to attack him, a deputy team leader of the criminal police. To assault him would be to brazenly attack an officer.
But what he didn’t expect was that as soon as he rushed out, he was forcibly held back by several officers beside him. No matter how he struggled, he couldn’t break free. At this moment, Deputy Director Zhou He could no longer hold back and shouted angrily at Zhang Jian, "Nonsense! If you dare speak again, I’ll put you in isolation!"
Zhou He was truly angry now. Who was Lin Feng? Someone a mere deputy team leader couldn’t afford to offend. Even he wouldn’t dare provoke Lin Feng, yet Zhang Jian wanted to act against him. That was pushing him into a fire pit. Remembering the incident Lin Feng caused in the police station back then, he still felt fear.
Quickly walking to Lin Feng, Zhou He said respectfully, "Mr. Lin, I am truly sorry. It’s not that we deliberately want to stop you, but this matter involves diplomatic issues, and none of us have the authority to let you in. Please understand us, okay?"
Zhou He humbled himself a lot, now negotiating with Lin Feng. He didn’t want the situation to escalate too much as it was nearly impossible to reel back in. If Lin Feng caused further incidents, the whole matter might become irreparable. Therefore, if he could get Lin Feng to abandon his previous ideas, even apologizing to him was worth it. But he never expected that even after lowering himself so much, Lin Feng still wouldn’t give him face.
"Are you going to let me in alone, or shall we all go in together?" Lin Feng didn’t answer Zhou He directly but asked in a calm tone.
Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Zhou He nearly spat blood. He couldn’t believe Lin Feng could be so persistent about this. Even after explaining the implications, Lin Feng still insisted. What was he to do? If he didn’t let Lin Feng in, anything could happen. But letting him in would surely be opposed by the H Country Embassy, potentially sparking a series of disputes. He truly didn’t want a huge incident.
For a moment, Zhou He didn’t know what to do. He opened his mouth but couldn’t speak. Emotionally, he wanted to let Lin Feng in, but he knew rationally that the matter was too far-reaching for him, even as the deputy director of the police station, to handle. Standing there, he was constantly torn...
"Let our Teacher Lin in!"
"Let our Teacher Lin in!"
...
The students didn’t care about so much. Seeing Zhou He stopping Lin Feng, they immediately began to voice their support for Lin Feng. In no time, hundreds of voices echoed across the police station courtyard, and the situation only grew more intense. Anyone could feel the students’ excitement!
Not just the students, even the surrounding onlookers spontaneously voiced their desire for Lin Feng to go in and handle the matter. A student had been beaten to death by someone from H Country. Any Huaxia person would want justice. Though they were ordinary people and could do little, standing by the students in support was enough.
This... this was madness!
The previously conflicted Zhou He was suddenly frightened by the crowd. The police station courtyard alone held over a thousand people, not counting those outside. If including the ones outside, there were easily several thousand people. If this crowd couldn’t be controlled, the consequences would be terrifying. A chill sweat trickled down his head at the thought.
"Well... Teacher Lin, I... we agree to let you in, but as for outside..."
After weighing the situation, Zhou He cautiously addressed Lin Feng. He had no choice but to agree now. Even without Lin Feng, the students wouldn’t comply. If the students rioted, the police station might be dismantled, a responsibility he couldn’t bear. Letting Lin Feng in was the only solution. As for what the embassy would say, he no longer cared. Under these circumstances, no one could balance things.
Listening to Zhou He’s response, Lin Feng nodded and chose not to make things difficult for Zhou He. He turned to the students and said, "Return to school. I’ll handle things here."
These words were simple but meant differently depending on who said them. Among the students, who didn’t know what kind of person Lin Feng was? At this time, they followed Lin Feng’s instructions and returned to school. They had complete faith in Lin Feng’s words. If anyone else had said it, they wouldn’t have believed it. But since it was Lin Feng, they absolutely believed he wouldn’t let the murderer get away unpunished. For no other reason than Lin Feng himself, plain and simple!
Watching the crowd slowly disperse, Zhou He breathed a sigh of relief. The police station hadn’t been surrounded in years, but Lin Feng managed to disperse them with a few words. What did this show? It showed that Lin Feng’s prestige among students had reached unimaginable levels. But whatever the case, with the crowd gone, his goal was achieved. During this time, Lin Feng exchanged a glance with Ding Wan’er and used Divine Sense to make arrangements for subsequent matters, leaving everything outside to Ding Wan’er to handle.
"Mr. Lin, please." Zhou He courteously led Lin Feng, who didn’t hesitate and strode toward the police station’s detention room, leaving Zhou He bewildered. He wondered how Lin Feng knew Li Jingpu was in the detention room. What he didn’t know was that Lin Feng had already scanned the entire police station with Divine Sense, and there was no sign of the person he sought on the upper floors. If there was anything special, it had to be in the first-floor detention room, which was why Lin Feng headed there directly.
In the blink of an eye, the group was about to arrive at the detention room. Suddenly, Zhou He hesitated and said to Lin Feng, "Mr. Lin, we are already under a lot of pressure, so please try not to hurt anyone. Otherwise, we really won’t be able to explain to our superiors."
In truth, he was quite anxious as he spoke. He knew all too well what kind of person Lin Feng was. If Lin Feng wanted to kill someone, no one could stop him. Even if Lin Feng did kill someone, it wouldn’t create much trouble for him, but they couldn’t afford that. If Lin Feng killed someone here, they would definitely bear the responsibility, and Zhou He truly didn’t want to create an irreversible situation.
Lin Feng glanced at Zhou He but said nothing, simply nodding.
Seeing Lin Feng agree, Zhou He breathed a sigh of relief. Based on his understanding of Lin Feng, if Lin Feng indicated his stance like this, there was nothing to worry about. At least this way, the situation had room for easing, and Zhou He felt much more at ease.
In a matter of moments, they reached the entrance of the detention room. The room wasn’t large but also not small, about forty to fifty square meters. In two corners were simple surveillance rooms constructed from ten square meters of steel bars. Inside one was Li Jingpu, while Song Park Joon and two others from the embassy sat not far from Li Jingpu on three chairs. As soon as they saw the group enter, the three immediately stood up from their chairs.
"How could you let others in? Our people have diplomatic immunity, and outsiders can’t contact us. Doesn’t your police station know that? Get out, all of you! We don’t want to see anyone. We have lodged a solemn protest, and your Tianhai City Police Bureau must take responsibility for the whole matter!"
Seeing Lin Feng filled Song Park Joon with rage. The situation had already spiraled out of control. He had communicated with his superiors, aiming to prevent further deterioration. So, upon temporarily retreating to the detention room, he had communicated with the police station to forbid anyone from entering. But then, an outsider appeared. If that outsider were a journalist, the narrative could spiral out of control, provoking his anger further.
"Is this our place or theirs?" Lin Feng’s brow slightly furrowed at the other’s arrogance, and he questioned casually. He was really displeased seeing this brazen person still acting like this inside a police station. It was evident they were accustomed to abusing power. While others might think highly of them, in Lin Feng’s eyes, they were mere clowns, nothing more.
"This... of course, it’s our place." Zhou He was momentarily speechless hearing Lin Feng’s words. He didn’t like these people either, but what could he do since they were from the embassy? He didn’t have any leverage over them, even as the deputy director.
