After Mad Dragon was released from prison, I shocked the world!

"Lin Li, you'd better not try anything funny."

Prosecutor Su frowned at Lin Li and advised, "Honestly confessing your crimes and striving for leniency is your only way out."

Lin Li sighed and shook his head: "It seems there's no way to reason with you."

He threw a black object onto the table: "Give this to Zhong Yuan, he will come to see me."

It was a palm-sized plaque, entirely black, made of some unknown material, with a black dragon engraved on it and two rubies inlaid in the dragon's eyes.

"What kind of junk is this?"

Wu Yong picked it up, glanced at it, and scoffed, "A toy you bought for five yuan at a street stall? You think you can scare people with a lousy sign?"

"Wu Yong".

Su Jian looked at the token, his heart skipped a beat for no reason, and said in a deep voice, "Take it to the director to take a look."

"Captain! This..."

"go!"

Wu Yong reluctantly took the token and walked out, muttering, "They're crazy, using a worthless plaque as a command..."

boom!

Less than two minutes later, the interrogation room door was suddenly pushed open.

Wu Yong stood blankly at the door, followed by a policewoman.

"Mr. Lin... Mr. Lin, the bureau chief requests your presence."

The policewoman looked at Lin Li with a very respectful tone.

Prosecutor Su was somewhat incredulous; the bureau chief really wanted to see Lin Li?!

Who is their chief? He's the iron-faced devil of Jiangcheng's police force, known for his incorruptibility and even the mayor might not give him face.

They're being so polite to a suspect now?!

Lin Li stood up, smiled at Prosecutor Su, and said, "See? I told you he would see me."

……

Director's Office.

Upon seeing the young man walk in, Zhong Yuan immediately waved away the policewoman who followed him in.

After everyone left, he held the token in both hands and bowed to Lin Li, saying, "Disciple Zhong Yuan greets Sect Leader!"

"Senior Brother Zhong, there's no need for such formalities."

Lin Li put the token away and reached out to help Zhong Yuan up: "I'm here this time not as the sect leader, but as a junior brother."

Zhong Yuan looked at the young man in front of him, who was more than twenty years younger than him, and felt a mix of emotions.

Back then, he was young and impetuous, which caused him great trouble. He was being hunted down, but his master saved his life.

He originally thought that his master would choose a successor from among his fellow disciples, but he never expected that his master would choose this newly accepted junior brother.

"Sect Leader... no, Junior Brother Lin."

Zhong Yuan gave a wry smile. "You just came out, and you've already made quite a commotion, haven't you?"

"What? Senior Brother Zhong is going to arrest me?"

Lin Li looked at him with a half-smile.

"Of course not."

Even if Lin Li wasn't the sect leader, Zhong Yuan wouldn't arrest him just for his master's sake.

"But what you're doing, junior brother, is putting me in a difficult position. The Wang family's phones are ringing off the hook, and there's also pressure from the Che family in the capital..."

"I know."

Lin Li sat down on the sofa and poured himself a cup of tea. "I came to see you about this."

"I must avenge the Lin family. The Che family, the Wang family, the Zhang family—none of them will escape."

"Junior brother, we live in a society governed by the rule of law now."

Zhong Yuan sighed: "This kind of violence-for-violence approach isn't a long-term solution. Besides, those families are quite powerful, with complex relationships behind them. You alone..."

"Rule of law?"

Lin Li sneered, finding the words ridiculous and offensive.

"Where was the rule of law when they framed me and caused the deaths of my parents three years ago? Director Chung, where were you then?"

Zhong Yuan was speechless.

He had indeed heard about what happened three years ago, but due to pressure from above and a lack of evidence, he chose to remain silent.

"I am not here seeking asylum."

Lin Li looked at Zhong Yuan like this, and he couldn't quite describe how he felt.

Three years ago, there was absolutely no relationship between the two of them. The fact that he can stand in front of Zhong Yuan and speak like this now is just a stroke of luck; he's met the old man.

Otherwise, even a high-ranking bureau chief like Zhong Yuan wouldn't take him seriously.

"Senior Brother Zhong, I didn't come here to cause you trouble."

Lin Li had no desire to continue talking to Zhong Yuan and said directly, "Since they've all put pressure on you, just go with the flow."

"Did you guess what they wanted?"

"Hmph! All they're doing is telling you not to interfere."

Lin Li sneered. Rather than sending him back to prison, those people would definitely prefer to deal with him themselves.

"Me too. I'll handle these things with them myself. You don't need to worry about it."

"this……"

Zhong Yuan hesitated for a moment, then reminded him, "But this would put you in a very dangerous situation."

"They will definitely use every means to deal with you."

"Then let them come."

Lin Li stood up and said coldly, "I was just worried about not being able to find anyone, but they delivered themselves to my door, saving me the trouble."

"Senior Brother Zhong, now that I've returned alive from the Black Dragon Prison, it's time for things to change in Jiangcheng."

After saying that, he turned and left.

As Zhong Yuan looked at the young man's back, he felt as if he were seeing his master.

Lin Li declined Zhong Yuan's offer to drive him home and decided to walk home slowly by himself.

Before I even left the police station, my phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number.

"Feed?"

"Is this Xiaoli? I'm Aunt Fang."

Fang Huayi's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Are you free tonight? Aunt Fang would like to invite you to dinner at Qianyuan Restaurant."

Lin Li initially wanted to refuse, but considering Fang Huayi's relationship with that old man, he sighed and said, "Okay, I'll be right there."

……

Qianyuan Restaurant is not only a well-known high-end restaurant in Jiangcheng, but also a famous restaurant for couples.

Fang Huayi wore a light purple cheongsam today, looking very elegant and noble.

Fang Wanqing wore a white dress and delicate makeup, but her face showed reluctance and annoyance.

"Xiao Li, come and sit down!"

Upon seeing Lin Li, Fang Huayi immediately waved enthusiastically.

Fang Wanqing rolled her eyes, turned her head to the window, and didn't even glance at Lin Li.

"Wanqing, how can you be so rude?"

Fang Huayi gently patted her niece's hand, "Say hello!"

"Feed".

Fang Wanqing gave a reluctant hum, which was her way of saying hello.

Lin Li didn't mind and asked directly after sitting down, "Aunt Fang, is there something you need?"

"It's nothing serious, I just wanted to talk to you."

Fang Huayi looked at Lin Li with a smile, becoming more and more satisfied. "By the way, let you get to know Wanqing better."

"aunt!"

Fang Wanqing finally couldn't hold back any longer. She slammed her hand on the table and said angrily, "What's wrong with you? I've already told you I don't like him! Why are you forcing me?"

Her parents, who usually dote on her the most, actually went along with her aunt's crazy idea this time, insisting that she come to Lin Li for a blind date!

"He's a convict! Are you all confused?"
