"Director Duan, Captain Zhang, we're innocent! We didn't do anything!" Tian Zhen, who was handcuffed, cried out his innocence. He was indeed startled when a group of people rushed in and arrested everyone they saw, but after he came to his senses, he started to make a scene.

At the same time, he looked intently at Li Xiuyuan. He hadn't expected that this guy surnamed Li would be so capable. Not only was he not scared out of his wits, but he had also come knocking on his door so quickly.

He's definitely not an ordinary leader; he didn't expect to be able to summon so many people in the middle of the night.

When dealing with ordinary people whose windows are smashed, the police station usually doesn't even come until the next day. Even after they understand the situation, it's very difficult to investigate and find evidence.

After all, there are no surveillance cameras in this village or many urban villages at this time, so even if evidence is found, it will be several days later.

The key issue is that police stations and criminal investigation teams are all very busy, with few staff and heavy workloads. They don't have time to deal with these trivial matters, and often just let them pass by.

Unexpectedly, the official summoned the criminal investigation team and the local police station in the middle of the night, showing that revenge doesn't wait overnight.

This is really different from what ordinary people encounter when they get into trouble. Tian Zhen spat inwardly, "Damn it, everyone says they serve the people, but in reality, they all serve the officials."

However, he wasn't too panicked. He had dealt with the police many times and was very familiar with their procedures. Even if you argue a lot, you still need evidence.

Without evidence, it's at most 24 hours.

Furthermore, even if someone says something, the two people who smashed the window can withstand it and won't get involved.

The unknown is what makes us afraid; once we understand it, we're no longer afraid. It's not like it's the first time I've been held hostage.

"Injustice? Whether it's injustice or not isn't up to you to decide," Duan Jun reprimanded coldly.

Tian Zhen looked at Li Xiuyuan beside him and said somewhat provocatively, "Mayor Li, right? This is our first meeting today. I've heard that you've been in charge of the overall situation in Meilin Village, selfless and dedicated to the people. Please put in a good word for me, and I will definitely remember your kindness."

If Tian Zhen hadn't spoken, Li Xiuyuan wouldn't have bothered with him, but once he opened his mouth, Li Xiuyuan noticed.

"Pull him up." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand, and two policemen immediately and roughly lifted Tian Zhen off the ground.

Tian Zhen was much taller than Li Xiuyuan, and after they were pulled up, Li Xiuyuan had to look up at him.

"Too high."

Duan Jun stepped forward and kicked Tian Zhen behind the knee, almost causing Tian Zhen to kneel on the ground. In the end, Tian Zhen was supported by the two of them with his legs half bent, and he was exactly half a head lower than Li Xiuyuan.

"What did you say? Say it again!" Li Xiuyuan asked coldly.

Tian Zhen was kicked, and with his leg bent halfway, he was in great pain. His smile turned into a forced one. The one who kicked him was Duan Jun, but Duan Jun was the head of the police station. How could he dare to hate Duan Jun? He could only vent his anger on Li Xiuyuan.

“Deputy Mayor Li, I think we see each other all the time, there’s no need to make things too awkward, otherwise it will be difficult to meet in the future.”

"Are you threatening me?" Li Xiuyuan asked, looking at Tian Zhen.

"I……"
