However, although everyone in the car had witnessed the events firsthand, the two police officers who boarded the bus were unaware of this, or at least they didn't think there was anything wrong with the scene.
"Alright then, both of you will come with us to the police station to give statements. We need to conduct further investigations," the police officer said.
"Of course!" the man spoke before the girl. "And I'm going to sue her for insulting, defaming, and slandering my innocence!"
"You stole!" the girl continued angrily.
The man, however, seemed determined and said, "I'm definitely going to sue you for defamation!"
This tactic of feigning retreat left a good impression on the two policemen, who then said, "One case at a time. Of course, you can also file a report. If it involves insulting others, you can also be detained for disturbing public order."
Detention... The girl panicked at the mention of detention. She was completely innocent; her bag had been damaged, and reporting it to the police could land her in detention. She looked to the other passengers for help.
At this point, the passengers on the bus who were just watching the show wouldn't say anything. This whole thing was already strange, and now it might involve insults and defamation, which could lead to detention. Whoever stood up for them would be in trouble.
Seeing this, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the man's lips, knowing he was probably out of the woods this time. It was indeed strange to encounter something like this so suddenly, but it would pass quickly, wouldn't it?
"that......"
Li Lechen finally spoke, but not to address the matter at hand. Instead, he nudged the person blocking his way and said, "Excuse me..."
His gaze fell on the seat that the man in his fifties who had gotten off the bus had been sitting in. Because everyone was watching the commotion, no one had bothered to take the empty seat. Since that was the case, Li Lechen figured he might as well sit there.
However, before he could act, a "spiritual cleansing agent" was applied to the man.
"Alright, you two can come with us now," the police officer said again. After all, discussing the case on the bus wasn't going to work, especially with so many people on board.
The girl became increasingly hesitant.
The man suddenly felt a little dizzy, but only for a moment, and then said loudly, "I'll go back with you, and I'll confess."
"???"
The two policemen were a bit confused. They had heard enough about confessing and explaining things. Could this guy's Chinese language skills have been taught by a math teacher?
Still bewildered, the man continued, "Actually, I've been doing this for six years and have never made a mistake. I even bought a house in Lingcheng. I was planning to retire after finishing this month and settling the renovation costs."
"!!!"
This time, not only the two police officers, but also the other passengers on the bus besides Li Lechen were shocked once again.
Is this guy suffering from intermittent neurosis? Is he having another episode now? Is it really true or not?
Even though everyone was shocked, the man remained lost in his own thoughts: "But I know what I did was illegal. Even though I make a living with my skills, I'm still taking other people's money. Living in a spacious house with other people's money, I can't even sleep well. And I really did break that woman's bag. I want to turn myself in."
After saying that, he stretched out his hands, as if he was about to be handcuffed.
"!!!"
The two police officers swore they had never encountered anything like this before, not even criminals who turned themselves in at the police station.
The two men exchanged a glance and finally decided to take out handcuffs and cuff him.
Perhaps it was because he felt guilty for stealing so much that turning himself in brought him peace of mind.
It wasn't until the police took the man away and the girl got off the bus and went to the police station that everyone realized what was going on, but they still didn't understand what was happening today.
Li Lechen, meanwhile, leaned against the window and started catching up on sleep again.
If the last time Li Lechen was surprised by the "soul cleansing agent" that made Liu Yu reveal so many of his true feelings, this time, he truly experienced the interesting nature of this substance.
......
"Tell me! Where did you go last night? Why didn't you answer my calls? Do you have another woman?" A young woman yelled at the man in front of her on the roadside.
"I was really just working overtime, I didn't hear my phone vibrate." The man looked aggrieved. "I was wrong, I was working overtime to earn more money so I could give you the best. Please don't doubt me anymore, okay? You're really the only woman I have."
"......"
The man reached out and pulled the woman into his arms.
Li Lechen passed by and overheard the argument. He casually waved his hand and applied a "spiritual cleansing agent" to the man.
All that could be heard was the man holding the woman and saying softly, "Actually, you're the dumbest woman I've ever been with. Really, there's no one dumber than you. How could I only have you as a woman? Only a fool like you would be so easily fooled."
"!!!"
"Smack!"
A loud slap rang out.
......
"Honey, you're really pregnant? That's wonderful!"
A man in his forties excitedly put his arm around the woman next to him while holding a pregnancy test report. The woman was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile.
"I'm going to be a dad! That's wonderful!" The man was still immersed in joy. Having a child late in life is truly not easy.
As Li Lechen passed by, he noticed the coldness in the woman's eyes and used a "soul cleansing agent" on her.
"The child isn't yours," the woman suddenly said.
"What?" The man was taken aback.
"I said, the child isn't yours, it belongs to Old Wang next door..."
