"It was him, this Lin Yun..." Zhang Xi, unaware of Pillar Iron's state of mind, assumed Pillar Iron was seeking justice on his behalf when he heard the question. Encouraged by this mistaken belief, he unhesitatingly pointed towards Lin Yun in the crowd, speaking in an accusing tone.

"Lin Yun is done for, his family is done for. We all initially thought that Zhang Xi was just charging him with excessive defense, not expecting him to openly say..."

"If convicted based on these accusations, hurting so many people unprovoked will not be a minor offense; the compensation expenses wouldn't be small either..."

Many villagers expressed their shock upon hearing Zhang Xi's accusations.

"Officer, this matter isn't as he described..." Upon witnessing this scene, Lin's mother and father rushed to intervene, their expressions filled with anxiety.

The crowd of villagers shook their heads, and their gazes towards Lin's parents carried a touch of pity.

It was clear that Officer Iron was colluding with Zhang Xi. What use could any explanations serve?

"Officer, I can testify, the incident didn't happen as Zhang Xi described..." Just then, amidst the crowd, Yuer Lee broke free of Lin Minghui's grasp and quickly stepped forward to contest Zhang Xi's claims.

"Woman, we've just arrived, you didn't see anything, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Minghui's face shifted to one of anger, and he promptly pulled Yuer Lee back, rebuking her harshly.

However, these remarks caused Officer Iron to sober up.

The next scene stunned everyone present.

Suddenly, Officer Iron, seething with anger, strode towards Zhang Xi and delivered a fierce slap to his face, shouting, "How dare you slander Mr. Lin! Do you know who Mr. Lin is? Would he commit such misconduct as you claim?"

"What?"

Everyone was taken aback.

Did they see that correctly?

Officer Iron actually slapped Zhang Xi in full view of everyone?

Moreover, didn't he seem to respect Lin Yun?

"Officer Iron...you..." The force of Iron's slap was so strong that it made Zhang Xi spin around on the spot. Dazed by the sudden shift in Officer Iron's attitude, Zhang Xi was utterly bewildered.

"What's Officer Iron doing..."

Several of Pillar Iron's subordinates were also taken aback.

If they were not mistaken, Zhang Xi had a good relationship with their officer. They had been informed about this incident beforehand by Zhang, therefore leading to this dispatched unit.

Why would Officer suddenly hit Zhang Xi?

Moreover... just now, hadn't Officer Iron said that they should handle this situation impartially?

What... why did Officer suddenly behave like this?

Was this impartial treatment? Wasn't he blatantly biased?

However, some people were quick to understand.

They soon connected this to the sight of the luxury cars parked at Lin's house... an abnormal number of them. It seemed like there were quite a few people in black suits around those cars. Weren't the two black-suited men who were with Lin Yun dressed just like them?

Chilled by this realization, they finally understood why their officer reacted this way.

It turned out that Zhang Xi had offended a significant figure. Lin Yun must have held an extraordinary status.

"Zhang Xi, behave yourself, don't think we are unaware of your usual tactics. Today, you've gone too far! One man beating up more than fifty people... such an incredible feat, you expect us to believe? Do you take us for fools?" A sharp subordinate quickly realized the situation, stepped forward, and pushed Zhang Xi while retorting angrily.

This push was not gentle; it almost knocked Zhang Xi to the ground.

"I...I..." Zhang Xi looked even more wronged.

Is that the reason Officer Iron treats him this way?

But, although his claims were a bit exaggerated, the truth wasn't far off! It wasn't one person, but two who beat his men up! Weren't they the real victims?

He couldn't figure out why Officer Iron's attitude toward him had changed so drastically.

"I was wrong, Officer Iron, it wasn't Lin Yun alone who beat us up, it was two men with him..." Zhang Xi was utterly confused, but he didn't dare to lie, so he quickly corrected himself.

"Slap!"

However, before he could finish, Officer Iron slapped him again.

"You think we are fools, huh? It's exaggerated if one man beats up over fifty, but it isn't if it's two men? Moreover, I have just told you, with Mr. Lin's status, he would never do as you say! You have not uttered a single word of truth. Seems like I have to take you all to the police station before you tell the truth..." Officer Iron raged.

"I...I..." Zhang Xi opened his mouth wide, unable to respond.

He hasn't spoken one word of truth?

The words he spoke were true... well, just the first few sentences about Lin Yun wanting them to buy his house's vegetables at high prices weren't truthful.

But, hasn't he done a lot of such things before?

Officer Iron...and his subordinates seemed to overlook this point, standing on their side instead?

Was that the reason Officer Iron personally came today? Was Officer Iron really an impartial officer of the law? But how was that possible? Officer Iron had not shown such courtesy when accepting his bribes.

Zhang Xi was not a fool, but momentarily stunned. As he gradually regained his senses, he realized.

The problem seemed to originate from Lin Yun's identity?

Officer Iron seemed to be treating Lin Yun very respectfully?

This thought filled him with resentment.

Was Lin Yun, too, connected to Officer Iron?

But even if that was the case, being a mutually acquainted party, why did he humiliate him publicly?

Could it be that Lin Yun gave more benefits than he did?

But even so, you can't keep slapping me around in front of everyone, can you?

With this, how am I supposed to go on?

"Zhang Xi, are you not going to tell your people to stand up? Always the first to complain and act injured, we've seen this act of yours too many times. Today, we'd like you to accompany us to the station!" Another one of the Iron Chief's subordinates came forward, gave Zhang Xi a cold huff, and spoke.

"What's happening... this script seems a bit off?"

Zhang Xi's men, who had been knocked to the ground, were chilled to their bones as they watched this scene unfold.

They thought they might have taken a beating this time, but the other side wouldn't be any better off, perhaps even worse.

Perhaps soon, the other side would come begging for their forgiveness, begging to be let off.

They had seen this situation many times.

Yet, at this moment, something about this script seemed amiss?

Many of them were momentarily dumbfounded.

Act injured? Stand up? Many of them were genuinely severely injured, weren't they?

The identities of those two men in black were unknown, but their strength was terrifying. They'd taken a big loss this time. Once this was all over, they'd certainly need to go to the hospital to get checked, to see how badly their bones were injured, and whether they had any internal wounds.

"Zhang Xi! Let's go!" At that moment, another person came forward with shiny handcuffs, locking Zhang Xi's wrists together, he said.

In that moment, Zhang Xi was so angry, he was shaking.

Why? Why was he being treated like this?

He roared internally.

But he didn't dare to voice such words aloud in public.

He was afraid, really afraid. If he dared to voice such words, the Iron Chief would certainly not spare him.

However, at this moment, he was incredibly confused. He just couldn't understand!

"Get up, get up, stop pretending, hurry up and get up..." At the same time, a person walked over to Zhang Xi's men lying on the ground. He kicked them while uttering those words.

"Ah——"

"It hurts——"

The kicking at their wounds made some of them cry out in pain right away.

The man was startled by their intense reaction and in the next moment, he became angry. His kicks became even stronger: "Keep pretending? You're pretty good at it! Hurry up and get up, or do you want us to lock you up for a few more days?"

"I'll get up, I'll get, stop kicking, stop kicking!"

Seeing that this man meant business, Zhang Xi's men no longer dared to lie still. Bearing the pain, they got up one after another.

"Ouch—"

"My goodness—"

Getting up was a painful process for some, pulling at their wounds and making them cry out in pain again. For a while, there were cries of distress.

Seeing this, the Iron Chief's face twitched slightly.

Their reactions didn't seem faked, did they?

Could it be these men were really severely beaten by Lin Yun's two companions?

Two men beating over fifty... leaving them in this state, wasn't this a bit exaggerated?

If Lin Yun had let the other men in black join in, this would have made more sense.

But from Zhang Xi and his men's reactions, they clearly still didn't know about the existence of the other men in black. If they did, they probably wouldn't react like this.

Daring to slander someone like Lin Yun, they were asking for death!

Just thinking that over fifty men were likely beaten to this extent by two of Lin Yun's men in black, the Iron Chief felt a jolt in his heart.

These men in black, who were bodyguards from a top-tier security company in Shen City, were certainly deserving of their reputation, possessing such terrifying power.

Just two black-clothed men had such terrifying prowess, what about dozens of them? Just how terrifying would their strength be?

Not to mention, many of these men in black were armed.

At this thought, the Iron Chief felt even more relieved.

Luckily he had personally come this time.

If not, and his men really slandered Lin Yun along with Zhang Xi and his peers, they would have really stirred up huge trouble.

"What... what exactly is happening..."

At this point, the villagers around were dumbfounded.

When did the authorities start dealing with matters so fairly?

But... this didn't seem very fair...

Seemed a bit biased towards Lin Yun's side, didn't it?

This must be because of Lin Yun's status...

They thought about how the Chief had always maintained respectful toward Lin Yun.

But what exactly was Lin Yun's status?

For a moment, they were full of doubts.

"Little Cloud..." Lin's parents were also taken aback.

"Mr. Lin, we've been watching these people for a long time. I never expected they'd dare to harass you today. Once I take them to the station, I'll certainly deal appropriately with them. Tell me, how does that sound for handling this situation..." At this point, the Iron Chief quickly walked over to Lin Yun, a fawning smile in his voice.
