I agreed to be a kept man, but I'm still being punished by the system.

Why are you arresting me?

Just as Lin Yang was about to speak in his defense, a hurried and angry female voice came from the direction of the study.

"stop!"

Su Man rushed out from inside. When her gaze swept over the living and dining room, which looked as if it had been visited by a demolition crew, her pupils shrank sharply, and all the color drained from her face.

The place was a mess. An Italian imported sofa worth hundreds of thousands of yuan was overturned, an expensive wooden dining table was broken in the middle, and the walls were pitted and even stained with blood.

Her gaze finally settled on the glaring handcuffs on Lin Yang's wrists.

"Officer, he's my assistant, he's the victim, why are you handcuffing him!"

Su Man's voice rose in anger.

The young policeman paused for a moment, then subconsciously turned to look at his superior behind him, a composed-looking middle-aged policeman.

The middle-aged policeman's sharp gaze swept between Lin Yang and Su Man, then he nodded.

The young policeman then somewhat awkwardly unlocked Lin Yang's handcuffs.

The middle-aged policeman stepped forward, his steps steady, his eyes filled with professional scrutiny.

"You must be Ms. Su Man, the one who called the police?"

"it's me."

Su Man took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

"The situation here is complicated, and we need you to go back to the station to make a detailed statement." The middle-aged policeman's tone was very formulaic. "But before that, please briefly explain the situation."

"OK."

Su Man quickly recounted in the most concise language the events that Zhou Heng owed money, the other party came to her door to cause trouble, and the violent vandalism and attempted assault.

Her narration was clear and logical, and even in such a chaotic scene, she maintained the true nature of a strong woman.

After saying that, she immediately turned around and walked to Lin Yang's side, her eyes quickly scanning him.

"How are you?"

Her voice was lowered, hiding a hint of nervousness.

"I'm fine." Lin Yang flexed his wrists; the places on his chest and ribs where he had been hit were still throbbing slightly. "I took a few punches, but it should be nothing serious."

This injury will heal very quickly for his body, which has now been enhanced by the system.

After listening, the middle-aged policeman waved to his subordinates behind him.

"This is a serious case of burglary and disorderly conduct, involving suspected robbery and intentional assault. Bring all the suspects back to the station for separate interrogation!"

"Ms. Su, please come with us to cooperate with the investigation."

"Okay, I'll give the instructions and then I'll head over." Su Man nodded.

As the police escorted him away, Brother Long paused for a moment as he passed Su Man.

The arrogant roguishness on his face had vanished, replaced by a chilling resentment.

He stared intently at Su Man, then turned his gaze to Lin Yang beside her.

"President Su, and you too, kid."

"I've really messed up this time, but I, Ah Long, will hold a grudge."

"I'll remember you."

The young policeman next to him shoved him hard and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense, get moving!"

Brother Long staggered a bit, then turned around and was escorted into the elevator.

Only after all the police and suspects had disappeared from sight did Aunt Chen clutch her chest, looking at the ruins, trembling all over.

"Oh my god... what happened... how did the house become like this in just a few minutes..."

"Aunt Chen, are you alright?" Su Man helped her up.

"I'm fine, miss, I'm fine..."

Su Man looked around, a hint of weariness flashing in her eyes.

"Aunt Chen, please contact the property management company and ask them to send a cleaner to clean up all the broken things."

Her gaze fell on the dent in the wall caused by the chair leg.

"The walls... I'll find a renovation company to handle them later."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the property manager, accompanied by several security guards, came running over, sweating profusely and wearing an extremely apologetic smile.

"Mr. Su! Mr. Su! We are so sorry! It was our negligence in property management that led to such a huge security breach, allowing criminals to break in. On behalf of the property management company, I extend our sincerest apologies to you!"

Su Man merely gave him a cold look.

"Manager Li, I pay hundreds of thousands of yuan in property management fees every year, not so that my home can be turned into ruins."

Manager Li bent over even lower, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

"Yes, yes, it's our fault! Mr. Su, please rest assured, our property management will fully cooperate with all follow-up work and cover all expenses! We will absolutely not let you worry about it anymore!"

Su Man nodded, her voice devoid of any warmth.

"I need to go to the police station. You can talk to Aunt Chen about the rest."

"Okay, okay, don't worry about it, leave this to us!"

……

In the underground parking garage, Lin Yang put the black travel bag containing one million yuan in cash back into the trunk of the Cayenne.

"Mr. Su, let's deposit this three million back into the bank sometime. It's not safe to keep it in the car." He started the car.

"Hmm." Su Man responded, leaning back in the passenger seat, closing her eyes, her brow furrowed. "Let's leave it for now, we'll deal with this later."

Lin Yang didn't say anything more and focused on driving.

The carriage was completely silent.

There was only a slight noise from the tires driving over the road.

The two arrived at the police station and were led into an office by a young police officer.

The statement was taken quickly. Su Man and Lin Yang were the victims; the facts were clear and the evidence was conclusive.

After giving their statements, the two left the office.

Just then, a figure walked towards them.

The man was around forty years old, dressed in a well-tailored high-end bespoke suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with his hair neatly combed, and carrying a brand-new LV briefcase. He exuded an air of sophistication.

"Hello, are you Ms. Su Man, the CEO?" The man greeted her with a professional smile and extended his hand.

Su Man looked at him with some confusion, but still shook his hand gently out of politeness.

The man then handed over a business card of excellent quality.

"I am Luo Wei, senior legal counsel for the Zhang Group."

Zhang's Group?

Su Man took the business card, and the moment she saw the name, her delicate brows furrowed. The Zhang Group of Huahai City was a long-established, powerful family that started in shipping, with immense strength and a very deep background.

Seeing her confusion, Luo Wei smiled and explained, "It's like this, President Su. My client is Zhang Long, the grandson of the chairman of the Zhang Group. He's the one who caused some...unpleasantness at your residence this afternoon."

Zhang Long.

Upon hearing this name, Su Man's face instantly darkened, and her delicate features seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

"We have nothing to talk about."

She coldly uttered a sentence and turned to leave.

"President Su, don't be in such a hurry to leave." Luo Wei remained unperturbed, maintaining his charming smile. "There's no harm in talking, don't you think?"

Lin Yang stepped forward and subtly shielded Su Man behind him.

This subtle movement made a hint of amusement flash in Luo Wei's eyes.

Luo Wei took a closer look at the young man in front of him, and then at the close stance between him and Su Man, his smile deepening.

"Oh? What do you want to talk about?" Lin Yang asked calmly.

Luo Wei pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and lingered on Lin Yang for two seconds.

"Our chairman's intention is very simple: let's settle this privately. We hope that Mr. Zhang, that is, Zhang Long, will not go to jail because of this. Everything else is negotiable."

"oh!"

Lin Yang drawled out his words, a mocking smile on his face.

"Excuse me, I just checked Baidu on my way here. Illegal intrusion into a residence, disturbing public order, intentional damage to property, and suspected intentional assault. Your Mr. Zhang, these charges combined are well-documented, and he should face at least three years in prison."

When Luo Wei heard the word "Baidu", he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Heh, young man, you can't find the law on Baidu."
