They figured that since both sides had taken action, Chen Shunwei probably wouldn't dare to escalate the situation.

Little did they know that Chen Shunwei was a veteran. He had served in the guard force for several years, and even though he had long since left, his martial arts skills far surpassed those of ordinary people.

Since he had received professional training, he knew exactly how to use force when he took action. He ensured that the troublemakers wouldn't suffer any internal injuries, yet he also made them feel excruciating pain.

So, I'm not afraid of things getting out of hand, I'm just afraid of things not getting out of hand!

He glanced at the bewildered crowd and quickly knelt down to check on Fan Haopeng. Seeing that he was almost unconscious, Chen Shunwei knew that this matter was not going to end well.

He quickly dialed the emergency number and then called the police again. However, before he could even get through to the police, he heard sirens approaching from afar.

His face lit up with joy, and he quickly opened the gate to let the police in.

The group of people gathered at the entrance of the security room were trembling with fear. At that moment, they really wanted to run away.

But they knew there were surveillance cameras here, and even if they could escape for a while, they couldn't escape forever. The consequences of being caught would likely be even more severe.

So they were all grieving, awaiting their final judgment.

The police parked their car at the entrance of the residential compound and were immediately bewildered by the standoff. The person who called the police reported that their grain had been stolen; was the thief a security guard?

But this situation was clearly not right. One security guard looked anxious, another lay on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, and the rest of the people were all ashen-faced and trembling like leaves.

"What's going on?" The police chief on duty was the first to speak.

Chen Shunwei explained the situation in a few words, making the policeman's teeth itch with anger. He glared at the group of troublemakers and said, "Oh ho, you've all grown up, huh? You've even learned to fight in groups. Do you really think the Alliance has no laws and you can cause trouble like this?"

The group that had started the trouble was already in the wrong, and hearing this made them feel even more utterly dejected. On the verge of tears, they began to apologize: "Yes, we're sorry, we acted impulsively. We won't do it again. Can, can you forgive us this once?"

Chen Shunwei remained silent, and the policeman shook his head: "Whether we can let you off the hook or not depends on the circumstances of the person involved. Didn't you consider the consequences when you attacked him? You beat him up like this, aren't you afraid that his family will come after you one by one?"

The policeman looked fierce, but the people opposite him were like quails.

The police didn't know what to say. They felt that there were so many things happening lately, as if the sunlight had mutated and brought out everyone's ferocity. It was truly unsettling everywhere.

The police officers didn't move Fan Haopeng, fearing they might cause him further harm. But they didn't just stand there; after watching the surveillance video of the earlier conflict, they took statements.

The surveillance footage is clear, and the facts are obvious. All of them are ringleaders; the final sentencing will depend on the extent of Fan Haopeng's injuries.

The suspect was at the scene, and the police didn't plan to take everyone back to the station, as they had other cases to handle.

They registered the group's identity information and made them sign and fingerprint records of the crime. Although the troublemakers did not want to confess, the witnesses and physical evidence left them no choice but to admit their guilt.

Furthermore, the police aren't worried about them falsifying their identity information, since the information is readily available once the smart bracelet is activated. As for escaping, they're even less concerned. That smart bracelet acts like a tight band, firmly binding them in place.

After the troublemakers signed and fingerprinted their statements, the police realized the extent of their recklessness. At that time, they dared to act because they thought that the law would not punish everyone, but little did they know that while they had vented their anger, they would also face the consequences.

Now, all we can do is pray that the security guard wasn't seriously injured, otherwise they might really face imprisonment.

Before the statement was even taken, the ambulance arrived. Chen Shunwei couldn't accompany them, so he called other security guards to come along. He knew none of the perpetrators would escape, but his heart was still heavy because he and Fan Haopeng had both suffered undeservedly.

The other security guards rushed over from their dormitories after hearing about the fight, but by the time they arrived, the police had already been there for a while. They stood at the entrance of the security room, glaring at the troublemakers.

Although they hadn't witnessed the fight, they could empathize. They had dutifully protected their home, yet they never imagined they would be smeared and falsely accused. It truly felt like all their efforts had been wasted.

But they also knew that these troublemakers weren't the original residents of the community. Not only did they resent these freeloaders, but even the residents who had been taken in had long wanted to get rid of them. However, out of consideration for face and reason, they hadn't taken action, and who knew that such a big commotion would arise.

After the statements were taken, the police began to question them about their initial report.

Regarding the loss of grain, the troublemakers were quite confident, sticking to the security team and refusing to budge an inch.

But Chen Shunwei was not someone to be trifled with. Although he was loyal to his duty, he was not one to take the blame for others. With both sides sticking to their own versions of events, the police requested to see the evidence.

But what is this evidence? Aside from the surveillance video, it's just the traces at the scene.

Without further ado, Chen Shunwei pulled up the surveillance video from the back of Qingning Mountain to show everyone.

Well, that's great. Not only did the police not see any suspicious people, but they also didn't see the group of troublemakers.

They were speechless, but they kept cursing. They said that a thief must have bypassed the surveillance cameras, and it might even have been one of their own.

Chen Shunwei snorted and said, "As you can see from the surveillance footage, all the crops on the land are growing well. May I ask, where were your crops stolen? Or, do you own any fields in Qingyu Community?"

As far as I know, you are all disaster victims from Suzhou who came to Haishi to stay with relatives because Suzhou is currently undergoing reconstruction. Since you don't own any land in Qingyu Community, what gives you the audacity to cause trouble for our security team?

"When you came to cause trouble, I wanted to explain and ask where your land was. But what did you do? You attacked me without saying a word, beating Fan Haopeng half to death. So now, in front of the police, I ask you to explain where your land is. Have you perhaps encroached on someone else's land and claimed it as your own?"

The crowd fell silent, for they had been so blinded by the theft of their grain that they hadn't rationally considered these issues. Now, with the matter brought up, they remembered that they didn't own any land; all they had was...

The police had more or less figured out the situation. Although they were somewhat disgusted by the group of troublemakers, they still asked, "Where is your land?"

They pushed and shoved each other, unsure of what to say.

Finally, under the stern gaze of the police, he said, "It's the back of Qingning Mountain. We...we all came to stay with relatives, and we found a piece of wasteland there and cleared it out."
