That evening.
Ye Beiping was taken to the Donghu District Police Station.
When the police entered the door, Su Xinyi, Tao Qiuyan, and Ye Xiaoxin were extremely worried, not expecting the police to come so quickly.
If Hou Baolin and Wu Di hadn't rushed over, they might have ended up at the police station.
Ultimately, after being persuaded by the two, they decided to stay home and see how things went.
Donghu District, police station interrogation room.
The police officer in charge of the case looked at Ye Beiping with an unfriendly expression.
"Name."
"Ye Beiping".
"age."
...
After a routine inquiry, the police continued, "Ye Beiping, is it true that Vice Minister Peng Yuhuai said today that you instigated people to launch a personal attack against him?"
"yes."
Ye Beiping answered truthfully.
Because this matter cannot be kept secret, even if the police don't question him, Tang Xiaolong and the others probably won't be able to withstand the interrogation.
Moreover, he had no intention of hiding it.
The policeman sneered, "You're quite honest."
"No, no." Ye Beiping shook his head calmly and looked at the policeman, asking, "Officer, first of all, I'm not being honest, but rather I am well aware of the law."
"Knowledgeable of the law?"
These words, if left unsaid, would have infuriated the police: "You know the law and yet you let someone assault you, especially the deputy minister of the Hangzhou Organization Department? You've got some nerve."
Ye Beiping ignored this and instead changed the subject.
"Officer, do you know if the law has anything to do with his position?"
"This..." The policeman was stunned.
This is not ancient times; there are no officials now, and the emphasis is on equality.
The law does not specify sentencing standards for assaulting ordinary people or officials.
However, the police officer remained defiant, saying, "Even if the law doesn't explicitly address official duties, it's undeniable that you acted recklessly and instigated others to attack Peng Yuhuai and his wife, isn't it?"
"hehe."
Ye Beiping's calm expression finally turned serious. He looked at the police officer opposite him with a cold smile: "Officer, if trespassing on someone's private property and committing violence is not illegal, then I have nothing to say."
"What do you mean?" The policeman was completely confused and didn't understand what Ye Beiping meant.
It's not entirely the police's fault, because Peng Yuhuai didn't explain the whole story clearly at all. Even Police Chief Li ordered his arrest immediately after seeing him in person.
They didn't ask about the whole story at all.
Ye Beiping rolled his eyes at the police: "Don't you ever investigate cases? Just because Peng Yuhuai is a vice minister, does that mean he can do whatever he wants? If that's the case, I don't mind reporting it to higher authorities and asking if that's true."
The police officers handling the case seemed to sense something was amiss.
After giving Ye Beiping a deep look, he immediately told the policeman next to him and went to find Director Li.
This matter can be considered a big deal or a small deal.
First, Peng Yuhuai, as the deputy director of the Organization Department of Hangzhou, was assaulted. If this is not handled seriously, they will definitely face severe consequences.
Secondly, it represents the image of the entire police station and government, and the perpetrators must be severely punished.
But what Ye Beiping meant was that Peng Yuhuai and his wife broke into Ye Beiping's house and even beat him, which is why he resisted.
If Ye Beiping's words are true, then that's a different story.
A lowly police officer handling the case certainly wouldn't be able to make a decision; he would definitely need to consult someone higher up.
Director Li happened to be working today because of this case, and he's been waiting for news.
Knock knock knock!
"Come in," Director Li said immediately upon hearing the knock on the door, as he was drinking tea in his office.
Hopefully it's about the case, and I can finish it soon so I can go home.
Wife, kids, and a warm bed.

The office door opened, and seeing who it was, Director Li smiled and asked, "Xiao Lin, how's Vice Minister Peng's case going?"
The man named Xiaolin was the policeman who interrogated Ye Beiping and was also the person in charge of the case.
After entering the office, Xiaolin made sure to close the door behind him.
"Director Li, this matter seems to be a bit difficult to handle."
"Huh?" Director Li, who had been smiling, froze when he heard that things weren't going well. His expression turned slightly cold as he said, "You can't even handle something this simple? What kind of work are you doing?"
Xiao Lin was startled and gritted her teeth to say Ye Beiping's words.
According to Ye Beiping, it seems that Vice Minister Peng Yuhuai broke into someone's home first and even assaulted someone, while Ye Beiping was only acting in self-defense.
"What?" Director Li was shocked and stood up abruptly from his seat, his eyes wide.
After a long while, he murmured, "That shouldn't be the case. How could Vice Minister Peng be involved with an ordinary person like Ye Beiping?"
Xiao Lin sensed that Director Li's reaction was a bit over the top, but he still told the truth: "We've checked our statements, and the crime scene was indeed Ye Beiping's house. Director, what do you think we should do if what Ye Beiping said is true?"
This matter is far too serious. Xiao Lin is just an ordinary policeman; how could he dare to make a decision on his own?
Although Ye Beiping is an ordinary person, Peng Yuhuai is the deputy minister of the Organization Department. If it is confirmed that Deputy Minister Peng trespassed on a private residence, then it would be a huge joke.
Director Li paced back and forth in his office for a few minutes before finally stopping and asking, "Ye Beiping's house? You've investigated thoroughly, is that Ye Beiping's house?"
"Not yet." Xiaolin shook his head and pursed his lips. "But everyone else's testimonies say it's Ye Beiping's house. I mean, should we ask Vice Minister Peng? After all, we definitely can't check the information today. Asking Vice Minister Peng is the fastest way to get the answer."
