Chapter 51: Doubt
“Have you learned martial arts specifically?” The team leader asked.
Lin Bai was about to say no when he suddenly realized that the other party must have found it unbelievable to repeatedly ask about the details of the fight.
If he said that he had never received any martial arts training, it would only attract more suspicion.
Therefore, Lin Bai changed his words.
“I’ve learned it. I’ve liked it since I was young.”
The team leader had been a police officer for more than ten years and had seen countless people. He could tell at a glance that Lin Bai was lying.
However, he did not expose Lin Bai. Instead, he took the transcript and went straight to the director’s office.
“Director, there’s a case like this…”
He briefly described the matter and then went into the main topic.
“It’s easy to deal with assault cases, but I think there’s something very wrong with this Lin Bai.”
“The skills and psychological qualities he displayed are completely not at the level of an ordinary college student!”
“Oh no, it should be said that it’s completely not a state that an ordinary person can achieve.”
The chief asked, “You suspect that he has received special training?”
The team leader nodded. “Yes.”
“I’ve checked his household registration information. His parents are all ordinary workers, and none of his relatives are engaged in martial-arts-related professions, so he probably has no access to special martial arts.”
“Also, I just asked him if he had learned martial arts, and he said that he had learned it since he was young. But that statement of his was clearly a lie.”
“So I suspect that he has been secretly trained by foreign forces.”
“As early as a few years ago, foreign forces have begun to extend their tentacles to ordinary people, and they especially like to secretly train students from various universities.”
“Lin Bai’s skills are different from ordinary people, and he is obviously hiding something. It is very likely that he is one of the secret agents who have been secretly trained.”
After listening to his analysis, the director’s face became more and more sullen.
Originally, a fight was just a small matter, but if it involved foreign forces, it would be different.
“Investigate it well. Be careful. Don’t alert the enemy first.”
“If you find any concrete evidence or any suspicious clues, report to me immediately!” The director said.
The team leader said, “Yes! I’ll get my colleagues in the technical department to check his communication records and the flow of funds in his account.”
If he was really an agent bribed by an overseas force, he would definitely have communication records with an overseas force, and there would also be corresponding financial transactions.
As long as there was one of these two items, he could basically report it to the relevant departments and carry out major inspections.
The director exhorted, “Go ahead and check. As I said, don’t alert the enemy.”
“Don’t worry, it won’t happen.”
The team leader immediately contacted his colleagues in the technical department and asked them to help with the investigation.
Then, he returned to the interrogation room and said to Lin Bai with a smile, “We have a basic understanding of the situation. We have nothing else to ask. You can go back now.”
“Okay.”
Lin Bai got up and left, completely unaware that he was about to get into an even more troublesome situation.
It was not until he walked out of the police station and looked at the pitch-black night outside that Lin Bai realized that so much time had passed.
He remembered that he had made an appointment with Yu Jinmo to have dinner together, so he hurried to the school.
However, Yu Jinmo had already returned to the school ahead of him and heard the news that he had been taken away by the police.
The moment they met, Yu Jinmo threw herself into Lin Bai’s arms and cried like a weeping child.
“Lin Bai, they said that you killed someone. What’s going on?”
Lin Bai was speechless.
It had only been half a day and the rumors had already spread like this. Could it be any more exaggerated?
Hence, he quickly comforted Yu Jinmo, “Don’t cry yet. Those are all rumors.”
“If I really killed someone, would the police let me back?”
Yu Jinmo sobbed and said, “I believe you’re not that kind of person, but they made it sound so legitimate. I’m really scared… What’s going on?”
“Be good, be good, Don’t cry, don’t cry. Hear me out, I’ll tell you slowly.”
Lin Bai told her the while story and then said, “The police let me go after they finished taking my statement. I don’t think there will be anything else after that.”
“The police know better than me what kind of people Shen Wanqing and his men are. They will definitely not believe Shen Wanqing’s nonsense.”
Yu Jinmo was finally relieved.
“Shen Wanqing is really too bad! Sooner or later, he will be punished!”
“But isn’t he the CEO of a real estate company? You don’t have any conflict with him. Why would he kidnap you and threaten you?”
Yu Jinmo asked in confusion.
“Uh, about that…”
Lin Bai thought quickly and immediately came up with a perfect excuse.
“Maybe he heard that I helped Mr. A with speculating stocks and wanted me to help him make money.”
“Who knows if his money came from a clean source? I was afraid of being accused of money laundering, so I didn’t dare to agree.”
“So he got angry and made such a move.”
Yu Jinmo said, “I heard that Shen is a triad member. You mustn’t help him.”
Then she became worried again. “Shen is so powerful. What if he won’t let you go?”
“You were lucky last time and didn’t get hurt. What about next time?”
“How about I ask my god-grandfather for help to transfer your school record to Dragon City?”
“No matter how powerful Shen is, he wouldn’t dare to go to Dragon City. It’s absolutely safe for you there.”
Lin Bai knew that the God-grandfather Yu Jinmo was talking about was Ye Weijun.
With Ye Weijun’s status and power, helping a university student transfer to another school was just a matter of words.
Lin Bai smiled and said, “I’m going to Dragon City. What about you? Are we going to have a long-distance relationship in the future?”
“Well…”
Yu Jinmo hesitated for a moment. It was obvious that she did not want to be separated from Lin Bai.
However, it would only be for a while.
“A long-distance relationship is no big deal. Nothing is more important than your safety!”
“Besides, if it really doesn’t work out, I’ll get godgrandpa to help me transfer to another school. We can still be together every day soon.”
“I’ll call my godgrandfather now.”
As Yu Jinmo said this, he was about to take out his phone.
Lin Bai quickly stopped her.
“No, no, Shen Wanqing can’t hurt me.”
“It wasn’t easy for you and Uncle to get the recognition of the Ye family. You should maintain your relationship with them. There’s no need to waste favors on such a small matter.”
Yu Jinmo said without thinking, “How can your safety be a small matter!?”
After saying that, she realized that something was wrong.
“Hey, how did you know that Father and I have gained the favor of the Ye family?”
She had originally wanted to tell Lin Bai about this as a surprise.
However, when she came back, she heard that Lin Bai had been arrested by the police. When she finally saw Lin Bai, she was busy asking him what was going on, so she didn’t have the time to say anything about the surprise.
Now that she thought about it, she had never mentioned that she had acknowledged a new god-grandfather, but Lin Bai seemed to have known about it long ago.
