“Uh…” Shen Yin choked for a moment and blinked innocently. “I really went to visit Nian Nian!”
Lian Jing silently sized her up.
Shen Yin did not wait for him to speak and finished her sentence first. “Don’t you believe me?”
“I believe you.” Lian Jing let out a sigh of relief. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her onto his body. “Then tell me, who else did you meet when you went to see Nian Nian?”
“If I tell you, you musn’t get angry!” Shen Yin pouted and held his face coquettishly.
Lian Jing nodded good-naturedly.
Only then did Shen Yin tell him the whole story of her encounter with Cheng Huo in the hospital. Then, she pinched his face innocently and said, “You promised not to get angry! And I’ve clearly rejected him this time! I told him that whatever he can do, you can do too!”
“Okay.” Lian Jing listened quietly. At this moment, a smile appeared in his eyes.
He relaxed his grip on her waist. “Then what do you want me to do?”
Shen Yin hesitated for a moment, and her tense shoulders suddenly relaxed. “It’s better not to let rumors spread about me and Shen Luo. I don’t want to be discussed everywhere I go.”
Lian Jing chuckled softly and pulled her hand to his mouth to kiss it. “Alright, leave everything to me.”
The next morning, the entire police station was silent. When Shen Yin arrived, the chief personally went to the door to welcome her. The police officers were so busy that their feet barely touched the ground. When they passed by, they only took the time to raise their heads and greet her. Then, they rushed off to do their work.
Shen Yin looked at her colleagues in surprise and asked in confusion, “Chief, is there a new big case? Why is everyone so busy so early in the morning?”
The chief smiled and did not say anything. He led her into the office and personally poured her a cup of tea. Then, he said slowly, “I don’t know what happened today, but those who have secretly done illegal things have spontaneously come to the police station to give themselves up.”
“Give themselves up?” Shen Yin blinked in confusion. Through the transparent glass door, she saw a man outside who was describing how he had secretly taken photos of someone. She turned to look at the director suspiciously. “What did they do?”
The chief pursed his lips and said, “This one secretly took photos of someone in private. That one once stole cigarettes from a small supermarket. The one crying over there ate a huge meal and didn’t pay.”
Shen Yin was speechless for a long time. She muttered in confusion, “Shouldn’t these people turn themselves in at the police station? Why are they at our city police headquarters?”
“That’s the problem.” The chief sighed deeply. “In the beginning, there weren’t many people. The comrades on duty detained them first. After the interrogation, they were handed over to the police station to be locked up. Then the numbers grew. Now we don’t have enough police cars, so we’re forced to interrogate them here. Later, we’ll arrange for them to leave in batches.”
Shen Yin was strangely silent for a moment. She carefully raised her head and looked at the chief. “Are you trying to say that someone was behind this?”
“That someone must be a good and enthusiastic citizen! To be able to persuade so many people to abandon their wrong ways and turn over a new leaf. Dr. Shen, who do you think this person is?” The chief slowly took a sip of hot tea and then calmly held the teacup to observe her expression.
Other than Lian Jing, Shen Yin really could not think of anyone else. Last night, he promised to help her deal with the people who were randomly scolding her online. She did not expect his methods to take effect so quickly.
However, she could not say that in front of the director. She could only shake her head vaguely. “How would I know? They don’t have anything in common.”
“They do have something in common.” The chief smiled at her and said, “I got someone to check their social media accounts.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he deliberately paused for a moment. Seeing Shen Yin’s speechless expression, he immediately laughed. “Now, everyone in the police station knows that in order to avenge you, your boyfriend used some kind of method to persuade these people to surrender themselves and help us improve our performance.”
Shen Yin smiled awkwvardly and said, “Maybe it’s not him, or maybe these people realized their mistakes?”
The director put on a fake smile and put down his teacup. “There’s nothing wrong with doing that as long as his methods are legal. It’s considered a good deed. Why are you so anxious to absolve him?”
“He definitely didn’t break the law!” Shen Yin widened her eyes and anxiously defended Lian Jing. “He stayed with me all night last night. Even if he sent someone to do this, he wouldn’t use illegal methods!”
The director looked at her silently for a long time before nodding. “That’s good.”
Actually, he had already sent someone to investigate when he noticed that something odd was going on. These people had once scolded Shen Yin online, but there was indeed no illegal coercion behind their surrender. Otherwise, he would not have chatted with Shen Yin so casually.
After leaving the chief’s office, Shen Yin hurriedly called Lian Jing.. “Did you get someone to do it?”
