Chapter 547 The Policeman's Dating Style (Please Subscribe)
Under Jiang Yiyi's intimidating words, the hotel manager, who was already in the wrong, quickly backed down.

After all, the other two parties are the real victims, and the hotel manager in front of us, who is pretending to be innocent and also a victim, is the only one at fault.

Half an hour later, the final agreement was reached. The hotel fully refunded the victims' hotel booking fee, arranged a car to take the two to a hotel in the city to book them a room of no less than the same standard free of charge, and compensated them 200 yuan for transportation expenses. The matter was thus settled.

To be honest, the compensation amount wasn't high, and the incident itself wasn't a big deal. The young man was initially somewhat unwilling, but after his girlfriend's persuasion, he backed down, accepted the hotel's apology, and chose to settle.

Both parties reached an agreement and, with Jiang Yiyi as a witness, set off on the spot to find a hotel, thus completing the handling of this police call.

"call……"

Relieved, Jiang Yiyi returned to the police car. Not wanting to rush back, she sat in the car and slacked off.

Looking back at Lin Ge, who was yawning incessantly, Jiang Yiyi gave a wry smile and said, "Mimi, do you think I'm being unreasonable? Completely abusing my power and demanding that the hotel apologize and pay money to settle things?"

"Is something wrong?"

Lin Ge glanced at Jiang Yiyi with surprise, wondering why she would ask him such a question. Police officers aren't robots, limited to following fixed procedures. Using different methods for different groups of people—isn't that normal? Even those so-called "rule-abiding" police officers who rigidly adhere to legal and administrative regulations are the real inflexible fools. Civil cases need to be handled swiftly; dragging things out is bad for everyone.

"But... I'll get yelled at!"

Jiang Yiyi lowered her head, feeling rather down. She had clearly seen the hotel manager's expression as she left. To be honest, even if the manager didn't say anything to her face, who knew what kind of vicious curses he might have cast behind her back!
Although the hotel was indeed at fault today, police interventions often involve more than one side's mistake, and sometimes neither party is entirely at fault. Ultimately, the resolution will inevitably leave some satisfied and others dissatisfied, with all the blame falling on the officer in charge. And police officers aren't made of steel; when in a good mood, they may ignore the situation, but when already conflicted, they are easily stressed and even frustrated.

Jiang Yiyi was already menstruating today, and coupled with the exhaustion from a long day, she was even more vulnerable.

Lin Ge understood her. Hearing this, he sighed and walked from the passenger seat to the driver's seat. He patted Jiang Yiyi's leg and then rubbed his head against her chest as a form of comfort.

"I had already discussed with Zhu Jun that we should get married in the second half of the year."

Jiang Yiyi hugged Lin Ge, stroking his back as she whispered, "Anyway, we're both police officers, and we know each other well. We're both busy, so dating isn't something we can do all the time like other young people. Since that's the case, why not just start a family? At least it'll be easier to take care of each other in the future. But sometimes I feel like this compromise is really pointless! It's not that Zhu Jun is pointless, but it's pointless to be cursed behind your back every day. Those things like 'sons born without an anus'—to be honest, sometimes it's really unpleasant to think about them. Even if I know it's impossible, I still feel uncomfortable."

"What do you mean? You're breaking up with Zhu Jun? Or are you saying you're quitting being a policeman?"

Lin Ge looked up at Jiang Yiyi in astonishment, not understanding why this woman's emotions were so volatile today.

He couldn't help but worry: would this guy be defeated by such a small matter?

"It's nothing! Never mind, I was just rambling on."

Jiang Yiyi quickly recovered, smiled, shook her head, and didn't bring up the topic again. As a police officer, she only needed to cry for a few minutes when she was feeling down occasionally; she didn't have time to stay there and wallow in despair.

After tossing Lin Ge back into the passenger seat, Jiang Yiyi forced herself to pull herself together and drove back to the police station.

However, just as she was halfway there, her phone rang. Jiang Yiyi immediately turned on the speakerphone and heard Xie Lili in the duty room informing her that there was another emergency: a fight had broken out at a barbecue stall in the Huabei Street night market.

"What about the others? Don't always expect me to be the only one getting fleeced!"

Jiang Yiyi was a little annoyed. Why did she have to go out on another call before she could even catch her breath?
"After you left, we received three more calls for help. One was about a foreign tourist who lost their passport, another was about someone arguing with a parking lot security guard at Wanda Plaza over parking fees, and the third was about students going to a bar. It was all sorts of random things, and it completely drained all the staff on duty. So there's nothing we can do! Yiyi, Zhu Jun is going there too, why don't you handle these calls with him?"

Finally, Xie Lili laughed and said, "Just think of it as a date! Unlike ordinary dates, it's a special kind of date that only police officers like us can have!"

"When you find a boyfriend in the future, take him to the scene of the police report for your date!"

Jiang Yiyi angrily complained.

"Hehe... I'm in an office job, so I don't need to go out on calls. Besides, I'm not planning on finding a boyfriend among my colleagues! When I do find one, I'll just find a sensible and obedient puppy, or a domineering CEO, that would be much more interesting!"

Xie Lili wasn't angry; she chatted with Jiang Yiyi while provoking her. Since that incident, Xie Lili had changed a lot in the past few months, and her relationship with the female police officers at the station was excellent. That's why she could say such jokes. In the past, with her unpopular demeanor, anyone who dared to say such things would undoubtedly have received a severe beating from Jiang Yiyi when they got home.

As they chatted along the way, Jiang Yiyi quickly relaxed. All her previous complaints and disappointment vanished, and she soon drove her police car to the scene of the incident.

After parking the car, Lin Ge discovered that Zhu Jun had already arrived at the scene.

However, the dispute didn't involve just one or two people, but rather about twelve or thirteen people across two tables. Despite Zhu Jun's intervention and the help of barbecue restaurant staff and other customers from both sides, the two sides remained highly agitated.

The two sides confronted each other, hurling insults and creating a cacophony that drowned out Zhu Jun's commands. Seemingly intoxicated, both groups acted with a lack of fear of the police, continuing to use their arms against Zhu Jun. This inevitably led to pushing and shoving, and Zhu Jun took several elbows in the chaos. Gritting his teeth and clutching his right eye, his temper flared, and his left hand slowly reached for the police baton at his waist.

"Don't do it!"

Jiang Yiyi stepped forward in time to restrain Zhu Jun, preventing him from escalating the matter.

"Are you here?"

Zhu Jun smiled somewhat apologetically, then released his left hand and protected Jiang Yiyi behind him to prevent her from being harmed by these drunken men.

"give it to me!"

Jiang Yiyi didn't say much to Zhu Jun, and didn't even have time to comfort her injured boyfriend. Seeing that the two sides were about to fight again, Jiang Yiyi raised her eyebrows, clenched her fist, and suddenly shouted.

"Don't move! From now on, anyone who dares to lay a hand on someone will be treated as having committed intentional assault! If both sides have someone involved, then it will be considered a case of fighting and you'll both be sent to the detention center for a few days! Do you hear me? Get out of there!"

The piercing sound made Lin Ge shudder. The woman's sharp voice instantly silenced the noisy crowd, and even the onlookers were startled.

Faced with Zhu Jun's still arrogant and domineering dozen or so men, and seeing Jiang Yiyi's menacing and ugly expression, they suddenly became less presumptuous.

It wasn't that they knew how to respect women while they were drunk, but rather that Jiang Yiyi's face looked incredibly scary, and she exuded a fierce aura that seemed ready to explode at any moment.

In addition, the word "detention center" in her words was very offensive, which immediately calmed these people down.

Although they dared not actually fight, they still had the courage to continue cursing. With Jiang Yiyi aggressively approaching, the two sides were too embarrassed to stick close to Zhu Jun and exchange insults like they would with Zhu Jun. So they could only step back and create some distance, then continue cursing at each other.

To boost morale, it's unavoidable to curse the other person's ancestors for eighteen generations while waving one's arm.

"court death!"

Seeing a reckless guy about to bump into Jiang Yiyi with his thick arm, Lin Ge narrowed his eyes, darted out from behind Jiang Yiyi, and jumped up to slash at the hairy arm.

"what!"

The man cried out in pain and quickly pulled his hand away. Looking down, he saw three long white marks on his forearm. He was immediately startled and sobered up by about 80%.

This sudden turn of events also calmed everyone down a bit.

Seeing this opportunity, Zhu Jun quickly stepped forward and helped Jiang Yiyi completely separate the two groups. He then shouted, "One person from each side, come and explain to me what's going on! From now on, anyone who dares to lay a hand on me will be treated as obstructing official business or even assaulting a police officer! I warn you not to take my words lightly; both of these crimes will leave criminal records! And given their severity, they will affect your entire lives!"

"Why should we? It wasn't our fault! Those bastards started it, go arrest them!"

A young man with multicolored, permed hair that looked like a sponge and a face full of wine red arrogantly pointed at Zhu Jun and loudly retorted.

"If you lay another hand on me, you can forget about getting this finger back!"

Jiang Yiyi stared at him coldly, while Lin Ge, who was perched on Jiang Yiyi's shoulder, was also eager to try and ready to go.

Hua Mao's lips twitched, and he quickly withdrew his hand. The opposing group was about to take advantage of the situation and seize the high ground, but when Jiang Yiyi and Lin Ge turned around and glared at them, they all chickened out.

Thanks to Zhu Jun and Jiang Yiyi's efforts, the situation was finally brought under control. The two groups stopped fighting and hurling insults at each other, although the whispering behind their backs certainly continued, but Jiang Yiyi and Zhu Jun pretended not to hear it and quickly inquired about the cause and course of events.

After a few simple words and some additions from both sides, the matter became clear.

The incident started because both sides were drinking and eating meat, and then both tables ran out of beer and urged the owner to refill them. However, the owner was too busy and assumed it was just one table calling for more, so he refilled the beer for the first table and forgot about the second.

Originally, if things had ended there, explaining things to the boss, apologizing, and saying nice things, the matter would have been over.

But at this point, both sides were quite drunk. The table that got the drinks listened to the complaints about the boss from the next table. Some were gloating, some were contemptuous, and some were standing on the moral high ground, feeling superior. Anyway, they just sneered and then disdainfully chatted with their companions.

This sudden action immediately angered the neighbors.

"What the hell are you laughing at?"

"none of your business?"

"Say it again?"

"Don't touch me, or I'll laugh at you, so what?"

In short, what had become a tiresome childish argument for the police officers at the local station gradually escalated into a brawl. The only good news is that no one has been seriously injured yet, but the bad news is that more than ten people were involved…

As they gradually sobered up, both groups calmed down. Seeing the serious expressions of the two policemen, several of them rolled their eyes and prepared to slip away.

"Ouch!"

With a roar, Lin Ge jumped off Jiang Yiyi's shoulder and quickly blocked the man's path.

The man's escape attempt was discovered by others who turned around, so he could only awkwardly smile, obediently turn back, lower his head, and remain silent.

Jiang Yiyi and Zhu Jun exchanged a glance, their expressions turning serious.

The truth of the matter is simple, but it would be extremely difficult for just two people to successfully bring two groups of more than ten people back to the police station. Furthermore, given that the two sides were fighting in the street, and it could even be considered a gang-related brawl, it's not enough to simply settle the matter with a settlement of medical expenses. To put it bluntly, even if a simple resolution is intended to quell the unrest, all necessary procedures, including taking statements and recording evidence, must be followed to prevent future problems.

In short, these people need to go to the police station!

But how to get them there? The police station couldn't send any more backup officers; two officers couldn't possibly escort more than a dozen people. Aside from that, two police cars wouldn't be enough to accommodate them all, and there was no way to guarantee safe control.

If one or two manage to escape, the others will certainly be resentful of being punished, which will cause additional trouble.

"How to do?"

Jiang Yiyi quietly moved closer to Zhu Jun and helped him wipe the bruises from the corners of his eyes.

"Hiss... Let's split it into several trips! It'll be easier once we're at the police station. As for the people who weren't completely captured after I leave, you, Mimi, and the surrounding crowd can help keep an eye on them?"

This was the only idea Zhu Jun could think of.

"Ow!"

After threatening anyone who dared to run away, Lin Ge came over and heard Zhu Jun's words. After thinking it over, he decided to take on the guard duty.

We can't expect Jiang Yiyi to look after all these burly, drunk men by herself, can we?
Seeing that Jiang Yiyi was still a little worried, Lin Ge simply raised his head and howled, summoning over the seven or eight underlings who made a living by finding food at these food stalls in the surrounding area.

A group of cats emerged from the shadows, under tables and chairs, and even under the car chassis, startling the onlookers. Then, seeing them, led by the cat that had accompanied the police, form a circle and keep watch over the dozen or so perpetrators, the crowd began to murmur amongst themselves.

Some of the guards tried to drive the stray cats away, but led by Ringo, they roared and barked menacingly, striking aggressive poses that quickly scared them off.

As more and more onlookers gradually gathered, and with their help there wouldn't be any major problems, Zhu Jun was in charge of taking these people back to the police station in truckloads, while Jiang Yiyi and Lin Ge led the cats to maintain order.

Things proceeded relatively smoothly after that. When Zhu Jun came back for the second time, Qian Wei and Zhao Zhigang, who were available at the police station, also came to help, and they finally managed to bring all of these people back.

It was already past 1 a.m., and everyone was exhausted.

People often say that once the police throw a suspect into custody, they don't bother with them anymore, but the truth is, at that point, they're often too exhausted to even open their eyes. Plus, they have to deal with any potential emergencies that might arise, so the interrogation process has to be postponed until tomorrow.

"Tired?"

Finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, Jiang Yiyi brewed two cups of hot instant coffee, each a strong three-packet serving, and handed one of them to Zhu Jun.

Zhu Jun was applying a hot towel to his eyes when he heard this. He shook his head and smiled, took a sip of his coffee, and immediately his face scrunched up from the bitter taste.

Seeing Jiang Yiyi looking at him with a smile, he said with concern, "Go and rest! Even just taking a nap would be good. Leave the rest of the police cases to me and Mimi. I'll call you if we get too busy."

"What the hell!"

Lin Ge raised his head in annoyance and cursed.

You bastard, you forget your friends for the sake of a pretty girl! Your girlfriend had a tough day, but did I, a mere cat, have it easy? And you even want to hand over the police call to me? What right do you have, you jerk!

"Fine! I'll stay here with you."

Jiang Yiyi shook her head without refusing, and simply pushed the chair behind Zhu Jun. After sitting down with her back to Zhu Jun, she leaned back, rested her head on Zhu Jun's shoulder, and closed her eyes slightly, simply pretending to doze off.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Zhu Jun smiled and didn't refuse. He straightened up, took out his phone, and started watching videos to learn. The police station has monthly learning assignments, and there are even exams and test papers to complete, so he can only squeeze in time to finish them during his night shifts.

To avoid disturbing Jiang Yiyi's rest, Zhu Jun put on headphones. However, to ensure he could hear the emergency call, he only wore one.

Then Jiang Yiyi casually put the other earphone into her ear.

The two of them stood back to back, quietly enjoying the rare tranquility of the night and the precious warmth before the police arrived.

"Ah woo~"

Seeing this, Lin Ge yawned, jumped onto the table, and lay down. He also felt exhausted and his eyes were a little too heavy to keep open, but he was a little embarrassed to be as lazy as usual during the May Day holiday.

"Perhaps in a couple of days, the police station will be a little less busy."

Thinking this, Lingo rested his head on his paws and dozed off.

Suddenly, Jiang Yiyi let out a soft cry. It turned out that Zhu Jun had fallen asleep without her noticing. He leaned forward and his head drooped, causing the back of Jiang Yiyi's head to hit the back of the chair he was leaning against.

Rubbing her head, Jiang Yiyi sighed speechlessly.
