Chapter 882: Chapter 881 Please Enter the Police Station

Ah, to hit someone is one thing, but to hit your own kin.

"Mr. Bai, please come with us to the police station," the officer was polite, but Bai Gelin immediately retorted, "Can I call my family first, to ask for bail?"

Hearing this, Qiao Xiaren scoffed at the absurdity, "Bail? What makes you think you qualify for bail? A suspect accused of harming others should just stay quietly in jail."

"Charges of harm?" Bai Gelin chuckled indifferently, "It was just a traffic accident. How did it lead to me being charged with intent to harm? Xiaren, technically, we are still related. Uncle Bai had a few drinks today, got dizzy, and ended up hitting someone. It’s like the temple being flooded—family fighting family. Xiaren, can you forgive Uncle Bai this time?"

In front of the police, Bai Gelin twisted the truth so deftly.

"It’s not up to you to decide whether it was a traffic accident or not. Don’t try to play the kinship card with me," Qiao Xiaren refuted strongly. Was this just drunk driving?

Bullshit!

This was clearly an attempt at murder.

Although Bai Gelin was somewhat scared, he still tried to hold his ground.

His sister was none other than Bai Qiuqing, and behind her stood the entire Qiao Family. Respecting the monk for the Buddha’s sake, as long as he insisted it was just a traffic accident, he would be fine.

Unfortunately, Bai Gelin completely overestimated himself and also Bai Qiuqing’s influence.

The news of Qiao Xiaren’s car accident on that road section quickly spread, which is a downside of being a celebrity: a bit of trouble and the whole city knows.

Limo’s face was very somber, wondering how Qiao Xiaren had become such a magnet for misfortune.

He dialed a number from his office landline: "The traffic incident on Thirdy Road, send me the surveillance footage. How is the Department of Transportation handling it?"

Receiving Limo’s call, the other party was slightly taken aback, "Chief, the Department of Transportation’s affairs don’t really involve our department. It’s not under our jurisdiction."

"As a soldier, don’t you reach out to help when you see someone in distress?"

Serious and meticulous, nearly flawless.

The other party nodded eagerly as if pecking at grains, "You’re right, Chief. It’s my lack of responsibility. I’ll inquire about it right away."

Feeling somewhat guilty since his superior was so busy yet still helping with other matters, they must indeed learn from him.

After Bai Gelin and the ruined car were both taken to the police station, the police informed him he had no right to bail, then led him to an isolated compartment.

He was not only anxious but also agitated.

"Officer, may I ask what this means?"

"Mr. Bai, I’m sorry. Until the matter is clarified, you better stay here," the officer’s answer was harsh but true.

Suddenly, Bai Gelin stood up, "I want to call my family. You can’t arbitrarily prevent them from bailing me out!"

"Sit down!" the officer snapped, pressing his baton against Bai Gelin’s neck, "It’s just your bad luck. I don’t know if you deliberately used your car to hit Miss Qiao, or what disputes you two might have. Miss Qiao is a very influential celebrity, and this traffic accident has caused a jam because of your incident. Congratulations, you’ve caught the attention of our superiors. This vile incident is out of our hands now. Don’t worry, Mr. Bai, you’re very safe here. We won’t neglect your three meals a day."
