Chapter 231: Chapter 187 - Do You Qualify? (Third update) _2

What has been going on with this man lately? He seems a bit scatterbrained.

Upon seeing Fang Zi’s wife, the chef hastily nodded and then turned to walk inside.

Unnoticed by Fang Zi’s wife, was the colorful object in the chef’s hand.

She just walked up to the customer, displaying her perfect set of eight teeth with a smile, and said, "Let me help you order, sir."

However, the customer reacted with cold indifference, "No need." He stood up and walked out without any hesitation.

Fang Zi’s wife cast a puzzled glance at his retreating figure. She had not done anything to offend him, had she? What a strange customer.

After silently pondering for a moment, she turned to go and help in the kitchen.

It’s a shame, Fang Zi’s wife had no idea that her well-intentioned offer and conversation would inadvertently draw her into an abyss.

...

Shortly after the customer left, two plainclothes... police officers entered. They walked straight up to Fang Zi’s wife, flashed their badges, and said solemnly, "Come with us, please."

Fang Zi’s wife was completely bewildered, having no idea who these people were. Upon seeing their credentials, she became even more confused.

"Officers, what have I done wrong?" she asked, completely confused about why she suddenly had to go with them.

Just then, several other plainclothes officers pressed the chef out, revealing... Dream of Heart concealed on his person.

In other words... drugs.

"You are suspected of a severe drug trafficking and death case. Please come with us." One of them said, as he took handcuffs from behind to handcuff Fang Zi’s wife. With such physical evidence, there was no room for denial. At this moment, Fang Zi, coming to his senses, rushed out from the kitchen. Seeing the handcuffs, he immediately stepped forward and shielded his wife behind him.

"Officers, we are just ordinary people who know nothing about drugs and would never touch them. Please, don’t take my wife away. She doesn’t know anything," Fang Zi said, utterly clueless as to why his wife had been targeted and wrongly accused.

Drug trafficking! As a highly disciplined Special Forces Soldier who had clashed countless times with drug traffickers, together with his Boss and comrades, destroying numerous drug bases, how could they possibly be involved in this?

Looking at the increasingly tense stand-off, the diners did not say anything. They simply watched quietly, marveling at the situation that unfolded. They never expected the proprietress to commit such a crime. The restaurant had such good business, why would she need to indulge in doing something so terrible?

Hearing Fang Zi’s words, the officer showed no courtesy and was immediately inclined to apply the cuffs.

In this world, criminals always claim their innocence.

Unfortunately for him, he was forcefully pushed away by Fang Zi’s strong frame, causing the man to stumble backward and crash into a table, immediately causing his anger to swell.

Well, Fang Zi was exceptionally trained soldier, his reactive strength was not something an ordinary person could handle.

It was strength enough to lift a heavy cast-iron wok.

...

"Handcuff everyone and take them away!" The officer, having lost face, was now in an even worse mood.

To put it bluntly, Fang Zi had just assaulted a police officer.

Hearing the officer’s words, two more officers approached with handcuffs, intending to take both people away. "Please don’t resist, it’s easier for all of us," they said.

Watching the figures before him, Fang Zi knitted his brows. Being a straightforward man, he refused to admit to something he hadn’t done and prepared to put up a fight.

But at that moment, from behind him came a cool voice, laced with amusement, "Tell me, do you police officers always handle cases so indiscriminately? Just arresting people left and right without proper grounds?"

Upon hearing Mu Lin’s words, the officers turned around, looking at Mu Lin with furrowed brows. "What do you mean by that?"

"Exactly what I said." Mu Lin replied with a smile, "If you can’t even understand plain language, no wonder you’re arresting people all over the place."

Upon hearing Mu Lin’s mockery, some of the spectators couldn’t help but laugh.

Indeed, this restaurant had been open for a good two years, and they had been dining here for so long. The food was delicious, the owners were humble folks with a straight-forward attitude. There was no way they could be involved in illegal activities. Something must have been amiss.

Quietly, the public sentiment began to sway in favor of Fang Zi and his wife.

Seeing Mu Lin, Fang Zi didn’t want to involve her, so he said, "This is our problem, we can’t involve you in it. If anything happens to you, I won’t be able to face the Boss."

Mu Lin shook her head, "Don’t worry, a small matter like this won’t cause me any harm." Especially in a case like this one, it was even less likely to affect her.

However, upon hearing their conversation, the officers suddenly laughed, "So, you two are relatives. It looks like you’re both under suspicion. Take them both away!" From their mode of address, it was clear to them that these people weren’t upstanding citizens. No normal family would use those designations.

"Are you really sure you have the guts to take me away?" Ye Xiwen came up leisurely from behind Mu Lin, coldly sneering. She showed her credentials to them. The words ’Special Anti-drug Task Force’ struck a heavy blow straight to their faces.

Disbelief.

How could this be possible!

Looking at them, Mu Lin huffed, "If you want to arrest people, perhaps you should consider, do you even have the qualifications to do that!"
