Chapter 238: Chapter 238: The Furious Lin Xue

"Yeah, take a look."

Tan Ruoxi was a beauty, with a height of over one meter seventy, skin as white as snow, long hair draped over her shoulders, and a face that bore the classic traditional beauty, lightly made up to look bright and youthful.

She handed the document to Lin Xue and said, "This Caucasian Shepherd Dog bit three people, one of them a child whose calf was almost torn off. The hospital estimates that if an infection occurs, the leg may have to be amputated. Another woman got a bite on her hand and lost three fingers. The worst was a high school student who was severely injured; they were almost gone by the time they got to the hospital and are now in ICU."

"Vicious dog, good riddance."

Lin Xue, glancing at the photo of the dog that had been beaten to death, spoke with a hatred for evil.

"Even though the dog is dead, the owner still has to take responsibility for the compensation. The next steps are up to you; I hope you can give the victims an explanation."

After finishing, Tan Ruoxi changed the subject, "Lin Xue, don’t think about cases all day long. Although upholding the law is our duty, sometimes you should also think about personal matters."

"Personal matters?"

Lin Xue closed the document and looked at Tan Ruoxi with a half smile, "Oh, are you in love, girl? Have you fallen for some handsome guy?"

"I am reminding you, why are you bringing this up about me?"

Tan Ruoxi’s face blushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

The two chatted in the corridor for a bit, then Lin Xue headed to the patrol team’s office with the document.

Just as she reached the office door, she heard a ruckus inside. Lin Xue stopped a colleague who was just coming out and asked, "What’s happening? Are victims’ families coming to make trouble again?"

In the police station, families of victims often came to inquire about the progress of a case. Naturally, some families with bad tempers would take it out on the police officers, but they didn’t dare to go too far—usually, they were just loud.

The colleague shook his head and pointed inside, "Victims’ families? It’s the family of the criminal."

"What’s the matter?"

Lin Xue asked curiously.

"Do you know about the vicious dog attack yesterday afternoon?"

The colleague continued, "These three people are the owners of that dog. Now that their dog has killed someone, they have come to our squad demanding the squad leader find the person who killed their dog. Can you believe these rich people?"

"Rich, huh? I’ll make sure they won’t be able to act so arrogant in a minute."

Lin Xue said indignantly and then turned and went into the room.

At that moment, Lao Qi was still talking to the squad leader. His voice was extremely loud, as if he owned the police station.

"If you don’t tell us who it was today, we won’t let this go."

Lao Qi roared.

Suddenly, he felt someone bump into him, and he turned around irritably to berate them, "Who is it, blind or what?"

Lin Xue coldly said, "Who asked you to stand in the middle of the room as if you were a telephone pole."

"Wow, such a beautiful policewoman."

Upon seeing how pretty Lin Xue was, Lao Qi’s anger was halved, and he teased her with a smile, "Beautiful Officer, are you taken?"

"Whether I am or not is none of your business."

Lin Xue said sternly, "Don’t forget who you are."

"Heh, I, your Brother Qi, am quite successful now, you know. Do you have any idea how much I earn a year?"

Lao Qi bragged with a smug look.

In today’s society, capital is money, whoever has the highest annual salary, the highest position, the greatest power—these are the standards everyone clamors for. Anyone with money has to stand a head taller, and even in terms of status, they seem much stronger than the average person.

"I’m not interested in your annual salary, what I want to ask is, your dog killed someone, don’t you feel any guilt or fear?"

Lin Xue glared at Lao Qi and posed the question.

"So what if it killed someone?"

Lao Qi laughed, "Whatever the compensation should be, not a penny less."

"Then how about if a dog killed you? Would it be settled just by paying some money too?"

Lin Xue sneered.

When the small team leader saw that the hot chili of the squad, Lin Xue, had arrived, he immediately slipped away quietly. After all, Lin Xue had a powerful backer—annoying her would be for the best.

"How do you talk like that as a police officer?"

A lackey immediately yelled out from the side.

Lin Xue shot the guy a glare and quipped, "We police serve the people, not some dog."

This double entendre immediately drew laughter from some of the police in the squad. Lao Qi also sensed something amiss and pointed at Lin Xue, shouting, "Good, you dare to insult us as dogs?"

"What sort of ears do you have, what are you hearing?"

Lin Xue said, "I was talking about that dead dog."

"Hmph, regardless, you guys must hand over the person today, otherwise we will definitely sue you."

Lao Qi continued to make a scene.

Lin Xue clenched her fists in anger, "You even dare to threaten the police? You are quite bold."

"What’s going on here?"

A voice rang out, and everyone in the room turned their heads to the door to see a man in his forties standing there with his eyes glaring inside.

"Captain Zhou."

Lin Xue called out.

"Lin Xue, come in with me."

Captain Zhou at the door called out, then headed towards the nearby office.

But Lin Xue, fuming, followed him into the office where Captain Zhou sighed and chided, "Lin Xue, your attitude is very problematic!"

"I don’t think there’s any problem. Facing these kinds of people, am I supposed to speak nicely to them?"

Lin Xue said defiantly.

"These people are from the Qin Family, and the Qin Family has quite the clout in Songlan City. Talking like this can easily attract their complaints! Besides, this time it was a dog that killed the person—we can’t do much to them. The dog owners have all the proper paperwork, and the dog bit someone after it had run away; we don’t have many options against the dog owner. What else do you think we should do?"

Captain Zhou said, "As police, we must handle cases according to procedure; we can’t just arrest and execute people because we find them annoying, can we?"

"But Captain Zhou, these people are insistent on pursuing the person who acted heroically. We can’t just bend to their will and tell them his background, can we?"

Lin Xue said unhappily, "Then won’t this group just go and trouble that person?"

"That may be, but you need to be more tactful in handling this issue! After all, our police were at the scene; the person directly killed the dog, and according to regulations, we were supposed to take him in for a statement, but since we didn’t, that’s already a breach of protocol! Now that the dog owner is relentless in pursuing us, the patrol team must resolve this matter peacefully!"

Captain Zhou, while complaining and rubbing his head, only received a dissatisfied snort from Lin Xue! She had long felt there was something amiss with Captain Zhou—after all, he had inexplicably released Tang Ming before, and now he was "sympathizing" with the dog owner, clearly putting his own future ahead of justice. This kind of degenerate made Lin Xue furious! (Happy Valentine’s Day! Little Snail wishes everyone with a love like Tang Ming and Liu Mengting may end up together!)
