Li Dawei assumed Chen Xincheng knew: "Master, you know?"
Chen Xincheng glared at him: "Can't you talk things out instead of fighting? Remember you're a cop."
Li Dawei was stunned for a moment: "Master, I beat up that scumbag. It was also to avenge Jiajia."
Chen Xincheng was a little confused: "What do you mean, stand up for Jiajia? What happened to Jiajia?"
Li Dawei exclaimed in surprise, "Master, you don't know..."
Chen Xincheng was even more puzzled: "Know what?"
Just then, Jiajia appeared out of nowhere and rushed up to block Li Dawei, saying, "Don't say it."
Chen Xincheng was taken aback: "Jiajia! What are you doing here?!"
Jiajia said to Chen Xincheng, "Why can't I be here? You've never protected me since I was little. Now that Brother Dawei is protecting me, you still scold me? What kind of father are you?!"
Chen Xincheng asked in confusion, "Protect you? What's wrong! Are you hiding something from me?"
Jiajia didn't answer and turned to leave. Chen Xincheng realized something was wrong and quickly followed: "Jiajia, what happened? What's wrong? Tell Dad, and Dad will definitely protect you and do even better."
Jiajia remained silent for a long while. Xia Jie then walked over, looked at her, and said, "Jiajia, you should tell your uncle about this!"
Jiajia hesitated for a while, then took out her phone, found the video, and handed it to Chen Xincheng: "Watch it yourself." Then she ran to the side.
Upon seeing the video, Chen Xincheng's eyes instantly reddened. He dropped his phone and turned to leave.
Seeing that things were not going well, Li Dawei rushed up and hugged him from behind: "Master, where are you going?"
Chen Xincheng shouted angrily, "Don't stop me!"
Li Dawei held him tightly, pleading, "Master, listen to me. He harassed Jiajia, and I've already taught him a lesson. We'll have to rely on the law now. Don't act impulsively. It's not worth risking your life for such a beast."
"Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Jiajia. Jiajia's mother can't protect her, so she's counting on you."
Jiajia watched all this, tears streaming down her face.
Unable to break free from Li Dawei, Chen Xincheng sat dejectedly on a stool. Looking up at his daughter, tears streamed down his face: "Jiajia, Dad is so sorry, Dad couldn't protect you!"
"Dad!" Jiajia cried and threw herself into his arms. The father and daughter embraced and wept bitterly, as if they were releasing all the grievances and bitterness they had endured for many years.
After a long while, the father and daughter gradually calmed down.
Chen Xincheng looked at his daughter with guilt: "Jiajia, it's my fault. I was punished back then, which was a huge blow, and I brought that state home. Your mother felt hopeless and insisted on divorcing me. I also want to try my best to give her the life she wants, but I really can't do it, so it's better to let her go."
“She insisted on having custody of you, and I figured that as a police officer, I was on call 24 hours a day, and she was definitely better positioned to take care of you, so I agreed.”
"Later, when I found out she married that kind of person, I regretted it the moment I saw him. I talked to your mother several times, trying to get back custody of you, but she kept refusing. Jiajia, I'm sorry, if I had known… whether she wanted it or not, I would have…"
Jiajia sighed, "Dad, let's not talk about Mom anymore. I live with her, and I know her life isn't easy either."
Chen Xincheng nodded: "Okay, let's not talk about her. It was because Dad was incompetent that she took this step. Jiajia, Dad regretted giving up custody of you a long time ago."
"You're 18 now, and Dad wants to ask you... do you want to live with Dad?"
Jiajia hesitated and said, "Dad, I'm all grown up now, I understand things a bit better. You'll have your own life to live, won't you?"
Chen Xincheng said solemnly, "Jiajia, Dad has lived alone for many years, and I'm not sure if I'll ever look for someone else. But one thing, Dad promises you: until you're independent and find your own happiness, Dad won't look for anyone else. It'll just be the two of us. Jiajia, would you like to live with Dad?"
Jiajia did not answer.
Chen Xincheng asked nervously, "Jiajia... Dad will definitely take good care of you from now on. Would you like to come back?"
Jiajia looked up, tears welling in her eyes, and nodded.
……
On the other side, the man surnamed Yu, since being brought to the interrogation room by Li Mu, not only refused to cooperate but also started making a lot of noise.
One moment he said Li Mu violated his personal freedom; the next he said to contact his lawyer and release him immediately; then he said it was retaliation and he was innocent; then he said it was all a misunderstanding and he was also a victim, and that his wife's ex-husband, Chen Xincheng, deliberately sent his apprentice to retaliate because he saw they were living well.
Seeing that Li Mu remained unmoved, the man surnamed Yu grew increasingly agitated and shouted, "You're framing an innocent man! What evidence do you have that I molested a woman? You police are framing an innocent man! I have a private lawyer. If you don't release me, I'll sue you immediately, I'll expose you to the media..."
After listening to him ramble on for a while, Li Mu suddenly sneered, "Are you done? Don't you know what you did to Jiajia?"
Mr. Yu panicked for a moment, then quickly regained his composure: "Who are you trying to scare? Don't play mind games with me. Do you have any evidence?"
Li Mu slammed his hand on the table and stood up: "Since you won't shed tears until you see the coffin, then I'll grant your wish."
As he spoke, Li Mu took out his phone, found a video, and started playing it.
Mr. Yu took the phone and saw the video Jiajia had recorded. His face turned pale instantly, and he subconsciously looked up at Li Mu in horror.
Li Mu casually picked up the phone again.
"Look carefully! Mr. Yu, do you know how this kind of behavior is classified?"
Mr. Yu panicked: "Look...look carefully...I..."
Li Mu said, word by word, "According to Article 237 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China: Whoever forcibly molests or insults a woman by violence, coercion, or other means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention. Mr. Yu, does your behavior constitute forced molestation?"
Mr. Yu was so frightened that his whole body stiffened: "Ah..."
Li Mu slammed his hand on the table: "What are you 'ah' about! Confess honestly, don't try anything funny. Confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely. You can't escape."
Chapter 383 The dust has settled
Li Mu was interrogating the man surnamed Yu there, while Wang Shouyi sat in his office, frowning. As the director, he often browsed local news and videos in his spare time, paying attention to local public opinion.
He had just come across a video of two people fighting, with one of them shouting, "The police are beating people! The police are beating people..."
The video itself didn't gain much attention and had a limited reach, since the two people were wearing ordinary clothes and it was impossible to tell that there were police officers in it; who knows if they were just shouting nonsense.
However, Wang Shouyi immediately recognized that one of the fighters was Li Dawei, a proper intern police officer at the station. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
Although Li Dawei is a promising talent, he has never had a peaceful life since being assigned here, and this is not the first time his videos have been posted online.
After sulking for a while, Gao Chao finally calmed down. He thought for a moment and said, "Gao Chao, ask Chen Xincheng to come to my office and ask him how he trains his apprentices."
Gao Chao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."
On the other side, Chen Xincheng finally reconciled with his daughter, and some of the gloom in his heart was dispelled.
Jiajia will be moving back home from now on, but thinking about the messy state of the house, Chen Xincheng turned to Xia Jie and said, "Xia Jie, could Jiajia stay at your place for a day or two? Give me a day or two to tidy up the house and then bring Jiajia home."
Xia Jie smiled and said, "Great! Jiajia and I haven't seen each other for years, so we can catch up."
Chen Xincheng smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble."
As he spoke, Chen Xincheng turned to look at Li Dawei.
"Li Dawei, you stood up for Jiajia this time and taught that scumbag a lesson. Your master should thank you. If this fight happens to affect you, just blame it on your master, and your master will handle it, understand?"
Li Dawei said, "No need, Master. I will take responsibility for my own actions."
Wang Shouyi glared at him: "Listen to me, Jiajia is my daughter, so I'll take responsibility for this."
Just as the two were talking, Gao Chao walked over quickly and said politely to Chen Xincheng, "Brother Chen, the director wants to see you about something."
Chen Xincheng said, "What's the matter? Let's talk here."
Gao Chao said, "Brother Chen, the director only told me to come and call you, he didn't say what it was about."
Chen Xincheng glanced at Li Dawei and said, "I'll be right back. You guys look after Jiajia."
Li Dawei hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently.
"Don't worry, Master!"
Chen Xincheng smiled and walked towards the office with Gao Chao.
On the way, Chen Xincheng asked, "Director Gao, what does the director want with me?"
Gao Chao hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Chen, the station chief seemed to be watching a short video just now. In the video, someone shouted that the police were beating people, and one of the people fighting seemed to be Li Dawei."
Chen Xincheng frowned: "Video?"
Gao Chao said, "Yes, during the conflict, there seemed to be people nearby who took some videos with their phones. The director's idea is to talk to you first, and then find Li Dawei."
Chen Xincheng's face tightened as he said, "Director Gao, Li Dawei did all this for me. He is actually innocent. Put the blame on me."
Gao Chao looked at him in surprise and said, "Old Chen, you can't be so soft-hearted. Even if he's your apprentice, you can't spoil him like this."
"Besides, although the video has been edited, it's still clear that Li Dawei struck first. If you're going to defend him, Brother Chen, you should think it through."
Chen Xincheng said, "Chief Gao, let alone being a policeman, even if you're a man, if something happens and you try to pin it on your apprentice, are you even human? Regardless of what the chief thinks, this has nothing to do with anyone else; I ordered it to be done. Thank you, Chief Gao, but could you put in a good word for me?"
Gao Chao said helplessly, "I've tried my best. But Brother Chen, you have to tell me the truth, Li Dawei... why?"
Chen Xincheng remained silent. This matter was not good for his daughter's reputation, and he did not want to publicize it or spread it around. The more people who knew about it, the worse it would be for his daughter.
“I can’t help you if you don’t tell me,” Gao Chao said.
Seeing Gao Chao about to leave, Chen Xincheng said, "Surname Gao..."
……
Wang Shouyi sat in his office, with Cheng Hao and Ye Wei sitting on either side of him like two henchmen.
Chen Xincheng stood up and said, "Reporting to the director, I'm here."
Gao Chao deliberately stayed at the door.
Wang Shouyi rubbed his head: "Tell me, what happened?"
Chen Xincheng lowered his head and said, "The person who fought with Li Dawei was my ex-wife's current boyfriend. He treats my daughter badly, and I've disliked him for a long time. So I let Li Dawei beat him up to teach him a lesson."
