Chapter 729: Chapter 730 The Thief Cries ’Catch the Thief’_1

"It was like this—the moment Mr. Li got on the bus, he suddenly started harassing this young lady. When she resisted, he pulled her hand into his own pocket and framed her for stealing his possessions. Oh, right, Mr. Li claimed to be a member of the Wendong Club and said this young lady stole his turquoise."

"Yes, yes, that’s exactly what happened, Uncle Officer, you must stand up for me." The girl burst into tears upon hearing this.

While crying, she said with a sobbing voice, "Not only did Mr. Li molest me, but he also accused me of stealing a turquoise worth millions. It’s such an injustice—I am not a thief, and I don’t even know what turquoise is."

The man with the luggage, the driver, and the girl’s statements were all surprisingly against Li Changlin.

The situation had shifted so quickly that Li Changlin was nearly shocked out of his wits.

However, he was surprised but not afraid.

Giving the driver a casual glance, Li Changlin let out a surprised chuckle, "Not bad, not bad at all; truly fascinating!"

"What’s so fascinating, Mr. Li, please answer my question properly—what exactly happened just now!" The officer was a brawny man in his mid-thirties, looking somewhat like he had a strong sense of justice.

Hearing several people unanimously accusing Li Changlin, he was already inclined to believe them somewhat.

"What exactly happened doesn’t need a hurried response. If I’m not mistaken, Officer, when your subordinates return, they will probably bring news that I never checked into that hotel."

"So did you stay at that hotel or not?" The officer frowned slightly and asked persistently.

"Of course I did," Li Changlin nodded, not expecting that the Wendong Club would have such sway.

Honestly, Li Changlin had never paid much attention to gang forces before.

The reason he subdued Zhang Yang and Chen Mingjiang was simply because Li Changlin wanted to use them to drum up business for himself.

Was this approach too wasteful?

At that moment, such a thought actually surfaced in Li Changlin’s mind.

Of course, at the same time, he also developed a bit of curiosity about this mysterious Wendong Club.

This gang, which boasted to be one of Huacheng’s three major underground forces, seemed interesting enough that even bus drivers could be their members.

In fact, it wasn’t just a little interesting—how could the other party have calculated the exact time he would get on board and which bus he would take? The intricacies of their schemes were almost impossible to defend against.

Therefore, it seemed likely that their intentions weren’t solely about retaliation for last night’s Scamming Leap incident.

To think of it, their plans were not small, and they might even have a clear understanding of his background.

With thoughts swirling in his head, in just the briefest of moments, Li Changlin had pondered many things.

"Since you did check in, why then do you say my people might bring back different information?" Li Changlin’s words caused the officer to frown slightly, his face filled with increased doubt.

Li Changlin spread his hands and said lightly, "If my guess isn’t wrong, that hotel is probably also under Wendong Club’s influence."

"Aren’t you a member of the Wendong Club yourself!" The officer’s gaze hardened, his doubt deepening.

However, at this time, Li Changlin had no desire to explain further. He calmly released the girl’s hand and then sat back down in his seat.

"Uncle Officer, you must stand up for me!" Once free, the girl immediately hid behind the police officer, her face revealing a mocking expression.

"How about this—why don’t you all come with me to the police station to resolve this matter?" With a blink, the officer decided not to wait for his subordinates any longer.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely cooperate with the investigation."

"Officer, I’ve already contacted the company, and they will soon send a relief driver over. Could we please wait just a moment longer?"

"True, a bus stopped at the station also causes a traffic disruption, officer comrade, so we’ll trouble you to wait a little longer."

The girl, the driver, and the man with the luggage bag all spoke up.

However, the other two thieves did not say anything.

They just quietly sat in their seats, their faces also not showing anything unusual.

"All right, then let’s wait a bit longer." Jingguang gave it a moment of thought and then nodded in agreement.

Now with four police officers on the bus, there was no fear of anyone causing trouble.

Thus, everyone quietly waited.

Before long, the officer’s two subordinates returned and informed that Li Changlin had not checked into the hotel.

Li Changlin had already given a heads-up earlier, so the officer wasn’t surprised but he did give Li Changlin a deep look.

Li Changlin just shrugged his shoulders, having anticipated this situation, and naturally felt even less surprised.

Looking at his expression, the girl and the others were somewhat taken aback.

The three of them exchanged glances, all clueless as to what exactly Li Changlin was up to.

After a while, the bus’s relief driver arrived, and the officer spoke up, "Then now everyone, please come with me."

"Okay!" Li Changlin stood up and smiled as he dusted off his clothes.

The others also agreed in turn, and so the group disembarked the bus and then got into the police car.

Upon reaching Guangyuan Police Station, the officer arranged for his men to separately question everyone.

Li Changlin, of course, told the truth, explaining everything that happened the night before, up until the girl’s attempt to steal from him just a moment ago.

Likewise, the police brought the girl and Li Changlin into mediation to resolve the matter.

The issue did not lead to any severe consequences; according to the girl’s proposal, if Li Changlin was willing to make an apology, she did not wish to pursue Li Changlin’s responsibility any further.

As for the driver and the man with the luggage bag, since they were only witnesses, they would not participate in the mediation.

"Alright, now you two settle things face to face, this matter needs to be resolved anyway. Mr. Li, no need to be too troubled anymore, as Ms. Ma suggests, with an apology from you, she is willing to forgive your mistakes, and our police department won’t pursue your public order responsibility either," said the officer, looking at Li Changlin and the girl as they sat down.

"Oh, I wonder what kind of apology Miss Ma is expecting from me!" Li Changlin was well aware of what the request entailed.

The so-called apology was one thing, but making amends was of paramount importance.

"How about this, may I ask if Officer Chen could step out for a moment?" the girl thought for a bit before raising her eyes to the officer.

The officer was slightly taken aback, but still nodded and agreed.

Honestly, he felt a twinge of sympathy for the girl before him.

But then again, the officer didn’t believe Li Changlin was that kind of person either.

Perhaps, there was some misunderstanding between the two.

There could be a thief, but not the girl.

The despicable thief had possibly already taken the chance to run off amidst the confusion.
