Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

"Who called the police?" Chief Wang arrived at the entrance of Jinhua Alley and, seeing the people lying unconscious on the ground, loudly questioned.

"Comrade, I'm the one who called the police! These people are bad guys; they actually tried to forcibly drag my friend away on the street!" Hong Xin immediately said.

However, her heavily accented Cantonese-accented Mandarin sounded particularly awkward, causing Director Wang to frown.

"Then come with us to the police station to make a statement. And you over there, let go now! Harassing women is serious, but as an ordinary person, you shouldn't do anything outrageous! Don't hurt this person." Chief Wang could tell from Wei Shang's physique that the people lying on the ground were all knocked down by this big man.

"Hehe, we can't let them go. Do you know why we sent you here? These guys are drug dealers, how can we let them get away?" Wei Shang said with a smile.

"What?" Upon hearing Wei Shang's words, Chief Wang instinctively reached for his sidearm at his waist. In his memory, drug dealers were all desperate criminals, very dangerous!

“That woman is probably holding the leader, and this guy is probably a junior leader. So, your task now is to take control of these people immediately! This is a gang of drug dealers! Think it over carefully!” Wei Shang freed one hand, took out his identification from his pocket, and threw it to Director Wang.

The first thing Director Wang noticed was the casing, which was identical to his own, and he knew that this person might be a competitor. He then began to believe what Wei Shang had just said to some extent.

However, when Director Wang opened the ID and saw the contents, he immediately looked up in shock at Wei Shang, who was holding down the thug with one hand and throwing things with the other.

"Comrade, is this document genuine?" Director Wang asked, somewhat stammering.

“It’s the real deal! You can verify with your city bureau if you don’t believe me! Arrest these people immediately, and then send someone to contact your city bureau! These people are indeed drug dealers!” Wei Shang said.

"Yes, sir! I'll contact our bureau chief right away!" Director Wang stood at attention and saluted, then immediately ordered his men to begin controlling the several people who were lying unconscious on the ground.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? How could my husband be a drug dealer? You must be mistaken, don't arrest him!" Bai Mudan saw the approaching police officers and immediately tried to grab Lü Lin and leave.

Unfortunately, the police didn't give her a chance at all. They immediately dispatched three people to take control of Lü Lin and put her in a police car, while the others were escorted to the police station by two people.

Seeing that they had been taken away by the police, Chief Wang respectfully returned the documents to Wei Shang, and then gestured for Wei Shang to proceed.

Because the entire police station only had one police car, Wei Shang had no choice but to lead Hong Xin and the other two to follow behind Chief Wang toward the police station.

When Bai Mudan saw Lü Lin being taken away, she immediately ran home to find her mother.

"Mom, Lu Lin has been arrested by the police! Someone said Lu Lin is a drug dealer!" Bai Mudan ran into the house crying and said to Hao Yulan, who was chatting and laughing with several children.

"What? Wasn't it said that someone was causing trouble outside and he went to watch the excitement? How did it suddenly turn into a crime?" Hao Yulan asked in surprise.

"I don't know either. When I went out, I saw a man beating up Lu Lin's underlings. Then someone called the police. The man said that Lu Lin and his gang were drug dealers, and that they seemed to be connected with high-ranking officials. Chief Wang of the police station saw his ID and even saluted the man!" Bai Mudan cried to her mother.

"Peony, are you sure? How come a high-ranking official came here? And why did we have a conflict with Lü Lin's men?" White Lotus asked White Peony.

"That man who looked like a high-ranking official was passing by the alley with three very beautiful women. Lu Lin's underlings tried to harass them," Bai Mudan said, looking down.

"I told you long ago that Lü Lin was no good! See? I was right!" Although Hao Yulan was also anxious, she didn't forget to complain about her son-in-law.

She had opposed Peony marrying Lü Lin from the beginning because Lü Lin's whole family were habitual thieves, and Lü Lin himself couldn't be any good. But Peony wouldn't listen, and now look what's happened—she actually dared to traffic drugs directly?

Even if Hao Yulan isn't very educated, you know the country will never tolerate drug traffickers! Now, the Bai family is going to have another widow!

"Mom, what should we do? Can you ask someone from the neighborhood committee to plead for Lu Lin? He's definitely innocent!" Mudan wanted Hao Yulan to go to the neighborhood committee to ask for help.

"Peony, don't even think about it. The neighborhood committee won't help criminals! Let's hurry to the police station and find out the details," Hao Yulan said helplessly, looking at her daughter who was crying her eyes out.

Meanwhile, inside the police station, as Lü Lin and his henchmen gradually woke up, an interrogation officially began.

However, Wei Shang did not participate in the interrogation, since he was not a local police officer and had no law enforcement authority.

At this moment, Wei Shang was sitting in the director's office with Hong Xin and the other two women, drinking tea. After Director Wang verified Wei Shang's credentials, he simply took a statement from Wei Shang and that was the end of it.

Wei Shang could have left immediately, but Director Wang stopped him. The city bureau chief wanted to visit him, and although Wei Shang tried his best to explain that he had other matters to attend to, Director Wang was so enthusiastic that he had no choice but to sit in Director Wang's office.

Although Director Wang wanted to keep Wei Shang company and curry favor with the deputy director of Dongguang, he had no choice but to let Wei Shang sit in his seat and drink tea because he needed to interrogate Lü Lin.

After Ah Fen and Yin Yin arrived at the police station, they calmed down and are now able to chat and laugh with Hong Xin.

A short while later, a series of screeching brakes echoed in the police station courtyard, indicating that several cars had arrived.

Soon, a commotion erupted throughout the police station, accompanied by shouts from the police!

The sound of knocking on the door rang out, and Wei Shang knew that the person in charge had arrived. So he said, "Please come in!" and put down his teacup.

"Director Zhao, welcome to Chang'an for your inspection! I am Zhang Ping, Director of the Chang'an Municipal Bureau!" Director Zhang greeted Wei Shang with a salute as he entered the room.

"Director Zhang, you're too kind. I'm not here for an inspection! This whole thing was purely by chance," Wei Shang said with a smile.

"Director Zhao, why don't we invite you to the Municipal Bureau? It would be a good opportunity for us to show you some hospitality," Director Zhang said.

“No need, I’m really here on business! My brother is filming at Chang’an Film Studio, and I came to visit him! But that guy named Lü Lin is definitely a drug dealer, because the smell of drugs on him is very strong, and he’s definitely not someone who’s been in this business for a short time! You guys have to dig out all of this guy’s connections!” Wei Shang said.
