81: Chapter 81 Telling Stories to the Police Officers at the Police Station

Tap, tap, tap, tap~ A burst of rapid footsteps rang out, and then the fire door was pushed open violently. Several uniformed police officers filed in, and upon seeing Chen Sheng and the other person, they immediately became alert.

Chen Sheng hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Officer, I'm the one who called the police."

He then pointed at the man who had been lying on the ground ever since he fell, "Officer, it's him. I just saw him with my own eyes throwing bricks downstairs."

Upon hearing this, the lead officer immediately gave a look to the officer beside him. The other officer understood and immediately went with another officer to the man's side, pinned his hands behind his back, took out handcuffs, and locked the man's hands.

At the same time, the lead officer alertly shouted to Chen Sheng, "First, put the things in your hands on the ground slowly."

"Oh? Oh~" Realizing what was happening, Chen Sheng hurriedly placed the anti-wolf spray and the brick in his hands on the ground and said with an awkward laugh, "Um, Officer, the situation was critical just now, so I was holding them for self-defense."

"Understood, understood!" Seeing Chen Sheng was so cooperative and that the danger had been temporarily ruled out, the lead officer's expression softened.

Just then, a scream rang out. Chen Sheng looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the officer responsible for controlling the man had tried to pull him up, but it resulted in the man's scream.

"My leg, my leg... my leg is broken."

Following the man's voice, Chen Sheng looked at the man's leg and realized that his left leg was bent at an unnatural angle. Chen Sheng couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, an officer stepped forward to check, then said crossly, "What are you yelling about? It's not broken, it's just dislocated."

Hearing this, Chen Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that it's not broken!"

No wonder he had been lying on the ground without getting up; it turned out he couldn't. Realizing this, Chen Sheng felt a bit annoyed. If he had known he couldn't get up, he should have been even more arrogant earlier.

However, he still hurriedly explained to the officer, "Officer, you can't blame me for this. I was trying to stop him, but then he attacked me. He tripped himself while chasing me because he wasn't watching his footing."

The lead officer nodded and said, "Don't worry. If you caused injury to the suspect while in the process of preventing a crime, it counts as self-defense."

"Self-defense is good, self-defense is good!" Chen Sheng said, overjoyed.

"However, you need to come to the station with us to make a statement."

"No problem! I guarantee my cooperation."

The lead officer instructed, "You two take the suspect to get his leg set first, then bring him directly back to the station. You two go downstairs and conduct some interviews."

Just like that, Chen Sheng rode in an official vehicle to the police station.

Then, the officer who led the team personally took his statement. After basic questions like name, gender, and age, the officer formally entered the main topic, "Why were you on the rooftop at that time?"

"Officer, if I say I was just bored and wanted to go up to see the scenery, would you believe me?" Chen Sheng revealed an awkward yet polite smile.

"I believe you!"

Clearly sensing the contradiction in the officer's words, Chen Sheng recited the draft he had prepared earlier, "It's like this. This morning, while I was driving for a ride-hailing service, I was lucky enough to run into De Hua, who came to Shu City to record a program. Not only did I take a photo with him, but I also got his autograph."

Chen Sheng said excitedly while taking out his phone to pull up the photo of himself and De Hua.

The two officers probably didn't expect Chen Sheng to have such an opportunity, so they curiously leaned in. Seeing that it really was De Hua in the photo, they all showed expressions of envy.

"Holy crap! It really is him."

"You really..." The way they hesitated, as if silently saying, "Did you step in dog poop when you went out? You actually ran into him."

Chen Sheng smugly took back his phone and continued telling his emotional journey from the morning, "It's just that when you have something good, you want to show it off to your wife, so I made plans to have lunch with my wife today."

"By the way, my wife works in the Kangsheng Office Building."

"After getting De Hua's autograph and photo, I was a bit excited. In this state, I definitely couldn't go back to driving for the ride-hailing service; after all, I have to be responsible for the passengers and myself. So, I just went to the Kangsheng Office Building, intending to wait for my wife to get off work."

"However, I arrived at the Kangsheng Office Building a bit early, so I thought I'd go to the stairs to catch some breeze and cool down. That should be understandable, right!"

The two officers put themselves in Chen Sheng's shoes and nodded in agreement. It was just like when they received a medal; they wouldn't be able to calm down without showing it off for eight or ten days.

Seeing the officers nod, Chen Sheng changed the subject, his tone carrying a bit of speechlessness, "Speaking of this, I'm speechless. I went up just after ten, thinking I'd stay for a while and come down, but I ended up running into several groups of people who snuck up to vent their emotions."

"There were those who got scolded by their boss and ran up to cry secretly, those who defaulted on loans and had their contacts exposed by 'Little Cui,' and the most speechless one was someone who, because their bonus was deducted, couldn't think straight and was preparing to jump off the building."

Chen Sheng counted on his fingers, telling the officers one by one about the things he encountered on the rooftop. The officers listened with wide eyes.

The officer in charge of questioning was the first to comment, "Your experience today is quite legendary."

The officer in charge of recording on the side chimed in, "It's like listening to a storyteller."

"Exactly!" Chen Sheng slapped his thigh hard and complained, "You don't know, I was crouching in the corner at that time, and I didn't dare to make a single sound, afraid of disturbing them."

Speaking of this, Chen Sheng hurriedly added, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. It's just that we're all working folks, and I really understand their situation. At those times, they just need to vent that frustration in their hearts. Otherwise, if they keep it bottled up for a long time, it'll cause big problems."

The officer nodded in understanding, "You mentioned earlier that you ran into someone who wanted to jump off the building. What happened later?"

"Sigh! You don't know, that person had already recorded his last words. Just as he was about to walk towards the railing, I was ready to rush out to stop him, but suddenly his phone rang. It seemed to be from the hospital, and after he answered the call, he rushed off to the hospital."

The officer nodded, signaling Chen Sheng to continue.

Chen Sheng sighed deeply, his expression distressed, "Officer, you don't know, because of this and that, my legs were numb from crouching. I had finally managed to wait until 12 o'clock, and everyone was off work. But just as I was about to go downstairs to find my wife, the man you just took away walked up."

"I thought he was just another one of those people who came up to vent their emotions secretly, so I held back again."

"But this guy just carried a stack of bricks to the railing and threw one down. I was completely stunned."

Speaking of this, Chen Sheng vividly made an expression of shock before continuing:

"Seeing that this guy was preparing to throw the whole stack of bricks down, I thought right then that I couldn't let him do that. It was right at lunch break, and there must have been so many people passing by below. If he threw them all down, wouldn't it kill a few people?"

"I didn't think much about it at the time, so I just rushed out. It just so happened that I had a bottle of anti-wolf spray in my pocket, so I went up and sprayed him..."

"Why would a grown man like you carry anti-wolf spray?" The officer spotted a blind spot.
