The badges worn by that group were so eye-catching that Lin Yang recognized them at a glance.
"Yes, that's me," he said, raising his hand obediently.
"We received a report that a 50-year-old male celebrity died unexpectedly from a heart attack. Someone has reported that you are the prime suspect, so please come with us for questioning." The leader of the group stood upright and spoke with a firm and powerful voice.
Someone stepped forward, intending to take Lin Yang away.
Xu Cheng put his arm around her and shielded her behind him. "Captain Liu, she's my fiancée. There must be some misunderstanding between you two. She couldn't possibly have killed someone."
The man in the lead was Captain Liu, who had a long-standing relationship with the Xu family. However, this matter was too special, so he could only pretend to be unfamiliar with Xu Chengzhi. "Mr. Xu, please don't obstruct us from upholding the law. Please move aside, thank you."
Xu Chengzhi gripped Lin Yang's hand tightly, his feet planted firmly on the ground, showing no intention of moving aside. "Captain Liu, it seems you're not going to give me this face?"
"Mr. Xu, please don't make things difficult for me." The men behind Captain Liu were all poised, ready to give the order at any moment and forcibly separate Xu Chengzhi and Lin Yang.
The two were locked in a stalemate, and the atmosphere became subtly icy.
Just then, the surfing whiz quietly approached Lin Yang and Xu Chengzhi and relayed the situation he had just seen on Weibo to them.
"Auntie and Uncle, Senior Wen's death is trending on social media, and... Auntie, you're trending too! Public opinion is now pointing the finger at Auntie, convinced that she's the murderer and demanding that she pay for it with her life!" Xiao Zheng tried hard to control his voice so that no one else could hear him.
"What?" Lin Yang, who was hiding behind Xu Chengzhi, couldn't help but exclaim.
How long has it been since Wen Yuli's body was discovered? How quickly have people online learned of his death, and are even deliberately spreading rumors to create the illusion that she is the murderer?
This trending spot must have been bought with money.
That's too fast, it's just too fast.
It was as if everything was planned, and they had already set their sights on Lin Yang, their prey.
"Mr. Xu, are you going to let me pass or not? If you don't, you're obstructing law enforcement. Do you want to be detained as well?" With so many eyes on him, Captain Liu lost his patience.
Xu Chengzhi remained firm in his stance and refused to back down.
Seeing that those people were about to take action themselves, Lin Yang let go of Xu Chengzhi's hand and stepped out from behind him.
"Captain Liu, why make such a fuss? I'll go with you. I'm a model citizen and I'll definitely cooperate with you!" Lin Yang secretly tugged at Xu Chengzhi's sleeve, signaling him to hold back his impulsiveness.
Xu Chengzhi, who was about to clench his fist, quietly loosened it after receiving a hint from Lin Yang. He stared intently at Captain Liu without saying a word.
“Mr. Xu, I know I’m bound to offend you this time. My apologies, it’s my duty. I hope you understand.” Captain Liu did not avoid Xu Chengzhi’s gaze.
He then asked into the crowd, "Who reported the incident? Come with me back for questioning."
“It’s me, Captain Liu,” Ding Zhong immediately jumped out and answered him enthusiastically.
Xu Chengzhi carefully examined Ding Zhong's appearance, intending to memorize it.
In the future, I will repay Lin Yang many times over for the injustice she suffered!
Team Leader Liu and his men stood guard on either side of Lin Yang and Ding Zhong, preventing them from escaping.
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the group slowly disappeared into the distance.
Hidden among the crowd, Chu Yu saw this scene and his smile spread wide. He murmured, "What I can't have, you can't have either."
