The An family's police response time is always very fast.

Before calling the police, Shen Beitang specifically asked them if he could come up from the basement level.

This reduces the risk of negative public opinion and prevents the situation from escalating further and harming the interests of the shopping mall.

Who called the police?

The officer in question is Officer Gao, a local police officer. He has the typical appearance of a northerner, standing at 185 cm tall with regular features.

"It's me."

Just as Shen Beitang was about to take a statement, Gu Zhun swiftly blocked her path.

"I am the person in charge here."

Shen Beitang looked at Gu Zhun speechlessly. When the incident happened, why didn't he rush to say that he was in charge? Why is he pretending to be the big brother now?

"Officer Gao, I'm the one who called the police."

Shen Beitang emerged from behind Gu Zhun.

"I'll say it again, I'm the person in charge here."

Gu Zhun patiently grabbed Shen Beitang by the collar and tossed her behind him, saying in a low voice.

"Are you that thirsty when you see a man?"

Shen Beitang was completely baffled. How did assisting in the investigation turn into a matchmaking event when Gu Zhun said it?

“Sure enough, people with heart conditions see everything as dirty,” Shen Beitang retorted.

Officer Gao watched helplessly as the two nearly came to blows, then quickly stepped in and separated them.

"This is a law enforcement scene. Please remain quiet. The person who called the police will now recount what happened."

Hmph, Shen Beitang glanced smugly at Gu Zhun and walked to Officer Gao's side.

In the monitoring room, Shen Beitang sat in a chair operating the computer, with Officer Gao standing behind her.

Because of the height difference, Officer Gao has to bend down and rest one hand on the table whenever it is necessary to pause the evidence collection process.

From behind, it looked as if he was intimately embracing Shen Beitang.

"Sister Xiaotang is beautiful, and she really has great chemistry with everyone."

Meimei and the others were already fawning over each other in the back, completely forgetting that there was still a main character present.

Unfortunately, Gu Zhun had amazing hearing and heard every single word he had just said.

Sure enough, Shen Beitang was not at all settled. She would pounce on any man who was decent-looking, or even just any man.

"Miss Shen, thank you so much."

Officer Gao, who was surrounded by rough-around-the-edges men at the police station, instinctively patted Shen Beitang on the shoulder.

Shen Beitang stumbled from the slap and almost fell onto the table.

"No, it's all thanks to your effective publicity."

Because Shen Beitang was meticulous, he preserved the evidence very well, and even took photos of the wound before it was treated.

Furthermore, watermarks of the time and location were added as required, making the evidence collection process very smooth.

"Now, once the victim's statement is taken, if it is confirmed that Bai Ling is suspected of intentional assault, she can be arrested immediately."

Arrest? Are you kidding me!

Once you have a criminal record, how can you ever move up in high society?

Seeing that Officer Gao had not yet found the saleswoman, Bai Ling quietly walked up to the girl.

"If you dare to betray me, I'll make sure you don't leave Anshi alive today."

After making the threat, Bai Ling changed her tune and shoved a card into the girl's hand.

"But if you behave and shift the blame onto Shen Beitang, all the money in the card will be yours."

"So, you want me to frame Sister Xiaotang?"

The girl trembled as she took the card, seemingly having been bribed by Bai Ling.

"As long as you insist that it was Shen Beitang who did it, and that all the money was yours."

"Sister Xiaotang."

The girl held up the card in her hand: "Someone is trying to bribe me with money and make me frame you."

He then turned on the recording function on his phone, and Bai Ling's words were recorded verbatim.

Shen Beitang had anticipated Bai Ling's move and had the girl turn on the recording software early on.

It proved useful, essentially confirming her criminal behavior.

"You little bitch, how dare you scheme against me!"

Bai Ling realized she had been tricked again and wished she could kill everyone in the room.

"The criminal suspect actually dared to threaten bribery in front of the police! You're really something!"

In all his years of service, Officer Gao had never seen such an arrogant criminal suspect before.

"It seems I need to get you under control first before I can get anything done."

He then took out handcuffs from his pocket and handcuffed Bai Ling to the table leg, leaving her only able to squat on the ground.

"Brother Zhun, help me! It hurts so much!"

Gu Zhun felt a headache coming on as he listened to Bai Ling's screams, but his brain still immediately issued commands.

It was as if if he didn't take action, it would give him a headache until he died.

"Officer Gao, aren't you going too far?"

Officer Gao, in a businesslike manner, looked Gu Zhun up and down before asking questions.

"What is your relationship with the suspect? Your employee is the one who is injured. Are you perhaps concerned about the wrong person?"

She glanced at Bai Ling to Gu Zhun, indicating that she had done all she could, and shook her head helplessly.

Seeing her last hope dashed, Bai Ling sat on the ground and shook the handcuffs violently until her wrists were red from being touched.

“Cases of such egregious nature involving intentional abuse and injury shall be sentenced to imprisonment of three years or more, detention, or probation.”

Officer Gao recorded the case: "Unless the victim forgives him."

The girl glanced at the fierce-looking Bai Ling and said firmly, "I will not forgive."

Officer Gao nodded in agreement, "After all, such a heinous case, especially one involving group abuse, is quite rare."

Upon hearing that she might face a three-year prison sentence, Bai Ling nearly fainted on the spot.

After three years, who would want her, especially given her current condition...

"Brother Zhun, I don't want to go to jail, you have to save me!"

Before Bai Ling could finish her rant, she was taken away by the reinforcements that Officer Gao had called.

"Miss Chen, would you like to come to the police station with me next?"

Shen Beitang, who was suddenly called out, was stunned for a moment, then pointed to himself: "Should I go?"

"Yes, you are the one who filed the report, and you still need to go to the police station to sign documents in the end."

After saying that, she glanced at her watch, scratched her head shyly, and said, "It's almost lunchtime. If you don't mind, how about we have a simple meal at our police station?"

Shen Beitang waved his hand and pointed to the milk tea on the table: "Thank you, Officer Gao. We don't need the meal; we just ate."

"Oh, sorry, I didn't see it, hahaha."

"Then next time. Let's get together again. My name is Gao Xiao."

Gao Xiao is a straightforward person, so she didn't think too much about it and just laughed it off.

Shen Beitang paused, thinking that he would need the police's help to investigate drowning cases in the future.

Having another helper is always a good thing, so I thought I'd agree to it first.

"Okay, next time..."

"Excuse me, Officer Gao, I've already made an appointment for her next time."

Gu Zhun pulled Shen Beitang into his arms and leaned affectionately on her shoulder.
