She seemed even more anxious than Yan Feng. "Let's go, let's go now."

Love Coins, here I come!

Yan Feng and his two men were deeply moved. They had never seen such a dedicated group of people doing good deeds.

Just as Lin Xi left, a row of little tails followed behind her.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, what are you doing here?"

"We must go together."

The police didn't say anything, as long as Lin Xi could go.

Lin Xi nodded helplessly. She knew her family was worried that she would be detained and not be able to come back.

The group walked towards the police car, but the customers behind them got angry. They put down their spicy hot pot, stood up, and glared at the police.

"Officer, why are you taking them away? They are operating legally."

"Yes, what right do you have to arrest them? Malatang is delicious and hygienic, there's no cleaner stall than theirs."

"Yes, didn't you see that all the chopsticks and bowls are disposable? We feel very safe eating here."

"Are you trying to blackmail the stall owner into paying protection money because you see his business is doing well?!"

"No way! I'll report you!"

"Yes, no way! Leave the person here!"

……

The police were speechless. Which eye of theirs saw them arresting someone? It was clearly the police who begged the person to come with them!

Lin Dayuan and his companions had tears in their eyes. They hadn't expected the customers to be so protective of them. It was definitely worth setting up this stall!

However, the customers felt that the stall owner had been bullied. They couldn't see that the stall owner was about to cry, so they all stepped forward to try and take him away from the police.

Yan Feng and Zhao Yang and the others backed away, "Hey, you guys better explain yourselves!"

Lin Dayuan wiped his eyes and shouted, "Everyone! Everyone! We weren't arrested by the police. We're helping the police with their case. You don't need to worry."

Thank you everyone for your support! All mala tang (spicy hot pot) is free today! Erli, you don't need to collect any money!

The customers weren't as excited as they expected to hear about the free meal; instead, they looked at them with concern.

What happened? Is it closed?

Lin Xi quickly said, "Don't worry, everyone. The mala tang will be open as usual tomorrow. Actually, the police were looking for me. My family was worried, so they went with me. You don't need to worry. We're just doing a good deed and helping others."

"That's good. Go and come back soon, little stall owner."

See you tomorrow!

"I guess the stall owner did something good again. The police called her over to find out what happened."

"Yes, yes, that little girl is very kind."

"The whole family is very energetic and enthusiastic."

……

The group finally got into the car, and even the police couldn't help but sigh, it really wasn't easy to borrow this young girl, she had to overcome many obstacles.

However, it also shows how kind this family is; they dared to stand up to the police for customers they had just met.

"Brother, your business is doing well! We'll come and support you after work sometime."

Zhao Yang: "Boss, let's go tomorrow, I'm so hungry for it, that guy was just squatting in front of me eating..."

"Alright, I'm busy right now, I'll wait until the case is closed."

Lin Guiying thought to herself that it really wasn't easy for the police; they couldn't eat or sleep well in order to solve cases.

Inside the police station, amidst the swirling smoke, Wu Zheng closed his eyes, his brow furrowed.

They interrogated me all night last night, but they didn't get anything out of me.

The leader of this organization never seemed to show his face, and everyone assumed that the second-in-command was the boss.

The second-in-command confessed to his crimes without reservation, but made no mention of the organization's leader. When asked, he remained silent or claimed ignorance.

They even tried some special methods, but they couldn't get him to talk; this man has an extremely high level of patience.

He heard a flurry of footsteps and opened his bloodshot eyes. He saw Yan Feng returning with two of his men, followed by his entire family, old and young.

He couldn't help but chuckle and asked, "Yan Feng, I think you've gone mad. You're not counting on those ordinary people behind you to solve the case, are you?"

Yan Feng remained as stern as ever. "How did it go?"

"Still the same old thing, stubborn as a mule."

"Xiao Xi, it's all up to you now." Yan Feng looked solemnly at the child who was less than half his height.

Lin Xi initially only thought about earning Love Coins, but now, in this solemn atmosphere, a sense of responsibility arose spontaneously.

"Don't worry, the medicine will cure the disease."

"Tsk, this little girl has quite the nerve. Let's see what kind of poison she'll use."

Lin Dayuan and the others glared at the man who was full of barbs.

Yan Feng gave Wu Zheng a warning look, then turned to Lin Dayuan and said, "He is Wu Zheng, the captain of the second team. He means no harm. We are all here to solve the case. It's just that he hasn't met Xiao Xi before and doesn't quite believe her."

Lin Guiying curled her lip, "Hmph, we don't need him to believe us, as if we're so eager to come."

Wu Zheng, unusually, did not retort. After all, Yan Feng had just gotten serious. Although he seemed to be a smart aleck, he actually knew his limits.

That mad dog that doesn't bite has its own bottom line. It can roam freely outside that line, but if it jumps inside, it'll be in big trouble.

He wanted to see why this young girl was worth protecting so much.

Yan Feng arranged for Lin Guiying and the others to stay in an empty office, then took Lin Xi to the interrogation room. Zhao Yang and Wu Zheng followed them in.

"Brother Yan, are all the people here trustworthy?" Lin Xi asked, glancing at Wu Zheng.

"Hey, little girl, are you saying I'm not trustworthy?"

"Oh? You think so too?"

Zhao Yang burst out laughing; he loved seeing Wu Zheng make a fool of himself.

“Xiao Xi, he’s just a smart aleck, but he’s a very reliable person. He hasn’t slept for two days and two nights because of this case. I can guarantee you with my badge that he will never tell anyone about this.”

What he didn't say was that they had known each other for over thirty years, since they were little kids.

Wu Zheng and he have been competing with each other since they were young. When they were young, they competed in fighting; when they went to school, they competed in grades; and when they joined the Young Pioneers, they competed in solving cases.

Of course, Wu Zheng kept losing, so he was always looking for trouble because he was unwilling to accept it.

"Oh, that's good. It's quite rare to find someone like that in your life."

Lin Xi could naturally tell that the two of them were best friends. Didn't you see they both swore on their police badges? For a policeman, that's something more important than his life.

Wu Zheng was furious when he heard this. He thought, "Who do you think I am? This kid is talking in such a sarcastic way."

Zhao Yang looked at Wu Zheng, who was gritting his teeth, with a smug expression. Serves you right! Serves you right for provoking her.

Yan Feng managed to steer the conversation back on track.

"Xiao Xi, look over there, those are the leader's accomplices."

Currently, only this person knows the leader's information, but it's unclear whether he has something on him or is genuinely loyal, as he refuses to reveal anything.

Lin Xi turned to look at the person on the other side of the glass. He looked haggard, with a stubble beard, his eyes were closed and sunken, as if he had suffered a great deal of torment.

"Take this and give it to him. You have three hours to question him."

When Wu Zheng saw the little girl take a piece of candy out of her backpack, he immediately bristled. "Little sister, are you kidding me? This is no child's play! Do you think he's a little kid? You think he'll tell you everything just because you give him a piece of candy?"
