Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Good Person?From Xia Chenyu’s perspective, although Fang Bai was powerful, he was not yet powerful enough to be above everything. Once he killed someone, there were only two paths left for him. One was to flee immediately, and the other was to turn himself in and await legal judgement. Many thoughts flashed through Chenyu’s mind in an instant. She wondered what she should do if Fang Bai killed someone. "My life was saved by Fang Bai, without him, I would have died long ago. If he flees, I’ll accompany him! If he turns himself in, I’ll use all my family’s wealth to help him hire a lawyer and fight the case!" Xia Chenyu quickly made this decision, determination showing on her charming face. The moment the shot rang out, Fang Wu and Li Hu were also stunned, thinking Fang Bai was done for. When they saw Liu Yang’s shot go astray, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, but a cold sweat broke out on their backs. However, what followed was that Fang Bai didn’t run or hide; instead, he advanced towards the gun aimed by Liu Yang. "Fang Bai!" Both men exclaimed in unison. Unexpectedly, Liu Yang didn’t fire again. Instead, he remained in the shooting stance, watching in disbelief as Fang Bai approached him. Those who paid close attention would notice that Liu Yang’s gaze toward Fang Bai was full of fear, with cold sweat dripping constantly from his forehead. "Director Liu, the criminal is violently resisting the law, what are you waiting for? Shoot him quickly and bring him to justice!" Fang Qun, seeing Liu Yang as if he had been scared silly, became both angry and anxious, shouting fiercely. Liu Yang opened his mouth, only to find that he was unable to speak. Looking at Fang Qun, who was gesticulating at him, he cursed inwardly, "I damn well want to shoot, but I can’t move at all!" When Wang Bin and the other officers arrived at Liu Yang’s office, this was the scene they walked into. They didn’t know what had just happened. Seeing the Director pointing a gun at Fang Bai, they looked at each other in disbelief and with a look of astonishment. "Director Liu, what is going on?" Thinking of the gunshot heard before and seeing the shattered window glass all over the floor, Wang Bin’s heart skipped a beat, and he asked loudly. Liu Yang, unable to move or speak, was close to tears, frantically signaling with his eyes to Wang Bin and the others to subdue Fang Bai. Now the distance between Fang Bai and him was less than a meter, and he was truly afraid that Fang Bai would suddenly attack him. Seeing Director Liu not speaking, Wang Bin internally wondered, and noticing his old classmate Fang Wu was also present, he asked curiously, "Fang Wu? How did you guys get out?" The reason he asked was that after Fang Wu and the others were brought back to the police station, they were immediately detained in the interrogation room for questioning. As Wang Bin had a schoolmate relationship with Fang Wu, he was ordered not to get involved with the case and to stay away from Fang Wu and the others.

Although Wang Bin felt that things were certainly not as simple as they seemed on the surface, and he was eager to investigate and see justice served for his old classmate, he was powerless under the pressure exerted by Liu Yang. "We... erm..." Fang Wu didn’t know how to answer his old classmate Wang Bin’s question. Should he say that Fang Bai had subdued several of the police officers interrogating them and then staggered out? If he did, perhaps Wang Bin and the others would really start to choke. Fang Bai knew that Wang Bin was his older cousin Fang Wu’s classmate and highly appreciated his efforts to speak up for Fang Wu earlier. Turning around, he said, "You’re Wang Bin, right? From what I see, you’re the only good person in this police station!" Good person? Upon hearing these two words, Wang Bin couldn’t help but smile bitterly to himself. He did want to be a good person, a police officer respected and beloved by all, but with a crooked leader like Liu Yang, the police station’s atmosphere had gone bad. Sometimes, Wang Bin would impractically imagine that if he were the leader, he would make great efforts to reform the police station, rejuvenate its spirit, and ensure every officer becomes one that the public would give a thumbs-up for being good. Unfortunately, Wang Bin had neither money nor connections and was not the type to flatter superiors. Instead, his straightforward nature often led to clashes with the leader, resulting in him being overlooked for commendations and promotions. Wang Bin was aware that his nature could offend people, but it was hard to change one’s inherent character. Thus, he resigned himself to being an ordinary officer for life. When Fang Bai mentioned "good person," Wang Bin’s bitter smile was accompanied by a sense of warmth. He felt it was an affirmation and recognition of his work. "Wang Bin, arrest these three murderers immediately!" Although Fang Qun noticed something was off about Liu Yang, he never expected him to have fallen for Fang Bai’s trick. Seeing him disobey his orders, Fang Qun was secretly irate and thus commanded Wang Bin, who had rushed into the office first. Fang Qun had served as the chief priest of Fang Temple for many years, and the locals privately called him the "Five Poisons Chief Priest," meaning that the chief priest had all five vices and was up to no good. Wang Bin had long disapproved of Fang Qun’s actions, and since they were from different systems, he wasn’t intimidated by Fang Qun’s dominance over Fang Temple Town and therefore didn’t carry out his order. "Fang Wu, you still haven’t answered me. How did you guys get out?" Wang Bin looked at Fang Wu and the others and asked again. Wang Bin knew very well what kind of person Liu Yang was. He didn’t believe that Liu Yang suddenly had a change of heart and released the three of them. There had to be something fishy going on. Just then, a police officer, drenched in sweat, burst in from outside, shouting, "Something’s wrong! Sun Ming and the others were knocked out in the interrogation room!" "What?" Hearing the police officer’s words, Wang Bin and the other officers were shocked. Sun Ming’s group of six were the officers responsible for interrogating Fang Bai, Fang Wu, and Li Hu. With them being knocked out and the three suspects appearing in the office, even a fool would know the incident was related to them. Wang Bin had initially wanted to help Fang Wu, but if it was true that the three of them had knocked out the officers and escaped the interrogation room, the crime was severe, and there would be no legal repercussions even if they were shot on the spot. "Fang Wu, did you three really do this?" Although Wang Bin was on good terms with Fang Wu, he couldn’t show favoritism in this case and pointed at the three men, demanding an answer in a stern voice. Fang Bai’s assault on the interrogating officers was witnessed by Fang Wu himself, who already knew the consequences would be severe. Hearing Wang Bin’s questioning, his heart panicked even more, and he struggled to find an answer. "All six officers were knocked out by me!" Fang Bai calmly took over and said, "They closed the door of the interrogation room and, without distinguishing right from wrong or innocence from guilt, began to beat us with batons. I had no choice but to take self-defense measures, and incidentally, I also brought out Fang Wu and Li Hu, who were receiving the same treatment."
