Chapter 399: Chapter 398: Going to Jail? "Police Officer Liu, do you know Lin Tian?" Bai Yufeng frowned as he spoke. He had come today to seek revenge, and if Lin Tian was an acquaintance, things might not turn out favorably. Police Officer Liu? Lin Tian was also taken aback and had to think for a moment before he remembered who it was. The last time a robbery took place at Xinyi Mall, Lin Tian had apprehended a group of thugs. At that time, it was Captain Liu who had taken him to give a statement, and he remembered Captain Liu being particularly warm. Captain Liu glanced at Bai Yufeng and said, "Of course I know him. Last time, Comrade Lin Tian bravely captured criminals at Xinyi Mall and stopped a crime. He is indeed one of Xikou City’s model citizens and a heroic example of righteousness." A model citizen? A heroic example? The inspectors, including Bai Yufeng, were stunned. In his heart, Lin Tian was a ruthless man, and Police Officer Liu saying he was a model citizen made Bai Yufeng think the officer must have recognized the wrong person. "Captain Liu, are you sure you’re not mistaken about the person?" Bai Yufeng asked, frowning. "It was my team that day; how could I possibly be mistaken," Captain Liu said very confidently. The other two heads of the inspection team exchanged looks. Since the owner was a rightfully good citizen who had acted bravely, questioning his bar now seemed inappropriate. "Ahem..." Seeing that the inspection might not proceed, Bai Yufeng pretended to cough twice and said, "A good citizen is a good citizen, but any illegal activities must still be investigated, right?" "Yes, the second young master of the Bai Family is right. Since there’s a report, we must investigate thoroughly. Does Comrade Lin Tian have anything to say about the report?" one of the heads asked seriously. Xiao Manxuan, who had been silent, couldn’t hold back anymore. She knew exactly what the Night Rose Bar was like; she had watched Lin Tian firmly manage the bar and improve its atmosphere day by day. All of these improvements were thanks to Lin Tian, and now he was being slandered, which made the little girl furious. She shouted irritably, "You have no idea how much effort Lin Tian has put into turning around the bad influence left by the previous bar owner. It’s unfair what you’re doing! Why didn’t you investigate Bai Yufeng before and now slander Lin Tian instead?" The little girl was naturally headstrong, and once upset, she argued her point regardless of who was against her. She was about to continue, but Lin Tian stopped her, noting that the raid was clearly orchestrated by the Bai Family behind the scenes, and talking about fairness to Bai Yufeng and his people was useless. "Who are you? We don’t need your extra words; everything will be handled according to procedure!" another head of the team retorted, frowning. Of course, they were unhappy being contradicted by a young girl. "Let me say something. I know comrade Lin Tian. He risked his life to subdue a robber, a feat not many can boast of. Also, he is a friend of the Xiao Family, and with their good reputation, his character is undoubtedly flawless. I believe there must be some misunderstanding here; let’s just clear it up," Captain Liu explained cautiously. He had a very good impression of Lin Tian and genuinely believed in him. "A friend of the Xiao Family?" The other two heads were very surprised and then glanced at Bai Yufeng, clearly a bit upset that he hadn’t clarified things beforehand. Bai Yuze saw the situation gradually slipping out of his control and couldn’t help furrowing his brow. This report was not a random accusation; during his last visit to the bar, he had personally seen Su Wenshan serving guests while dressed as a bar staff. At the time, he hadn’t thought much of it—an impoverished student working part-time seemed normal. But just yesterday, Bai Yufeng had casually mentioned in front of his older brother that a student from his school was working part-time and hadn’t even reached the age of sixteen. His older brother then informed him that it was illegal child labor. So, the two brothers conspired and staged this entire ordeal, and having witnessed it firsthand, Bai Yufeng was completely confident he could deal a heavy blow to Lin Tian, even reclaiming the Night Rose Bar. "What about the Xiao Family, do you think the Bai Family is easy to provoke?" A voice came from outside, followed by a figure appearing; Lin Tian didn’t even need to turn around to know it was Bai Yuze, and behind him, followed a dozen bodyguards. This had always been orchestrated by him, and he knew his brother couldn’t handle Lin Tian, so he finally showed up. "Enough with the nonsense." Lin Tian said expressionlessly, with a cold snort, "You think you can inspect my bar just based on a report? Then I’m reporting now that the Bai Family is selling fake jewelry; should you not investigate them too? Hmph, recklessly damaging a business, you are harming Xikou City’s favorable economic environment, are you trying to be criminals of Xikou City’s economy?" A huge accusation was thrown, and the person in charge of the raid furrowed his eyebrows, having never seen anyone so defiant after being inspected. "You can investigate if necessary, but let me make it clear, if there is no issue, I want the two brothers to kneel and apologize to me. Otherwise, if you let them slander us freely, should we even continue our business? Bai Yuze, if you’re guilty, just take your men and get lost!" Lin Tian glanced at Bai Yufeng, saying coldly. "You..." Bai Yufeng’s gaze turned icy, he said darkly, "Very well, you will pay the price for those words. If I find an issue, just wait to be shut down. I want you to kneel in front of the camera and repent your errors to the news media!" "Then what are we waiting for, hurry up, my time is very precious." Lin Tian said impatiently, then turned his head and nodded to Lu Jia. Understanding his cue, Lu Jia took out Su Wenshan’s resume and other documents from her bag and placed them in front of the officials. The officials didn’t waste words, they immediately opened the file bag and started reviewing. "Hmm, indeed he is a high school student..." one official remarked. "Look closely at his ID number." Lin Tian said with a cold laugh. "According to his ID number, Su Wenshan has already turned sixteen," Captain Liu said, then also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he trusted Lin Tian, he was worried that Lin Tian, being unaware, might have employed someone under sixteen years of age, which would have had serious consequences. At the right moment, Lu Jia said, "If we remember correctly, Su Wenshan can only be counted as a youth worker; we have also registered with the relevant departments, and he only does light work, voluntarily. Everything is in order, you can check for yourselves." This completely relaxed Police Officer Liu, but the other two officials felt embarrassed. The Bai brothers also looked incredulous as they grabbed the documents to review. "Just turned sixteen two days ago!" Bai Yuze exclaimed through gritted teeth. "Stop murmuring, fulfill your promise, kneel and apologize," Lin Tian said coldly. "Also, Xuanxuan, take a close-up of them with your phone." "Lin Tian, have you lost your mind? You believe what I said, just kidding around, with so many police officers around, what can you do to me? Even with a hundred guts, you wouldn’t dare lay a hand on me, you would end up in jail! Hahaha, consider yourself lucky today, we’re leaving!" Bai Yuze stood in front of Lin Tian, shouting loudly and arrogantly. The source of this content is freew(e)bn(o)vel
