326: Chapter 326 Call your bureau chief over and talk to me.

At this moment, many people noticed that the young man had been beaten until he was bleeding; his face was covered in blood, and quite a bit had dripped onto the ground.

No wonder he couldn't help but slap that middle-aged woman; he really couldn't take being beaten anymore.

Having been slapped, the woman immediately lay on the ground and began throwing a tantrum.

Many people nearby were filming with their phones, and some were filled with worry for the young man, especially the young girl who had been pulled from her seat.

"Brother, I've caused trouble for you. If her son really is an official from Guangming District..."

She didn't quite dare to finish her sentence.

Qin Chuan gave the young man an appreciative look and took out a few tissues. "Brother, you're bleeding. Wipe yourself up."

Taking the tissues, the young man said, "Thank you. Was I a bit too impulsive just now? Sigh, I'm probably in for it."

After delivering that slap, he really did feel a bit of fear in his heart.

The woman on the ground was throwing an even bigger tantrum, grabbing the young man's pants and screaming at the top of her lungs.

Qin Chuan looked at the woman with disgust. "Buddy, don't be afraid. You were acting in self-defense. I can testify for you."

Hearing this, the woman on the ground immediately stopped her act. She scrambled up nimbly and tried to hit Qin Chuan with her umbrella.

"I'll give you something to testify about! If you dare testify, I'll beat you to death!"

How could Qin Chuan let her hit him? He took a step back, and the umbrella swung through thin air. The woman wasn't about to give up like that and chased after him with the umbrella.

After dodging a few times, Qin Chuan warned her with a stern face, "If you keep hitting me, I'm going to fight back."

"Do it if you have the guts! Hit me!"

As she said this, she continued to strike with the umbrella.

Qin Chuan said loudly, "You all saw it. What I do next is self-defense, and she's the one who asked me to hit her."

"Damn it, I've never seen such a request in my entire life."

Hearing this, the people around all burst into laughter. Qin Chuan saw the woman still trying to hit him with the umbrella and glared at her; if she moved again, he wouldn't be polite.

Perhaps intimidated by that gaze filled with killing intent, the woman didn't dare to move again and instead lay back down on the ground to roll around and wail.

"Everyone, come look! The youth nowadays are lawless, hitting an old person in public!"

"Call the police! Someone help me call the police!"

"Ouch, ouch, it hurts so much! They're hitting an old person!"

"..."

Seeing the woman rolling and throwing a tantrum on the ground, the people around moved away, filming with their phones from several meters away.

About two or three stations later, the subway stopped, and two security guards and several police officers boarded. Someone must have already called the police, or the subway company had seen the situation through the carriage surveillance.

"Let's go. You, you, and you—get off the train now!" the lead security guard shouted.

Seeing the security and police arrive, the woman suddenly found her second wind and made a false accusation first. "Officer, these young people hit an old person! They teamed up to bully me!"

With grim faces, the police officers led the woman, Qin Chuan, and the others off the subway, preparing to take them to the Police Station to handle the matter.

"Officer, you have to stand up for me, otherwise my son will look into this. He's with the Guangming District Committee Office and is Secretary Liao's secretary."

The police officers' expressions changed slightly, but with so many people around, they didn't say anything. Instead, they loaded Qin Chuan and the others into the vehicle and went to the Police Station.

After entering the Police Station, Qin Chuan, the young man, and the young girl were placed in a room. For the time being, no one came over.

The woman was taken away separately. After about ten minutes, the Station Chief personally arrived with a few others.

Looking majestic and stern, he asked as soon as he entered, "Which one of you laid a hand on the elderly lady?"

Seeing this, Qin Chuan knew exactly what was happening. Before these people even started, they had already clearly taken a side.

The young man who had slapped the woman was clearly starting to get scared. With his head bowed, he said weakly, "She hit me first. She hit me at least a dozen times with her umbrella. I really couldn't take it, so I slapped her once."

The Station Chief said, "So you did hit her. I'm telling you now, the victim's injuries are quite severe. Two of her teeth were knocked out, which qualifies as a minor injury."

Hearing this, the young man's face turned pale.

Qin Chuan couldn't watch any longer. He stood up and said, "Officer, I witnessed the entire process. The young man's actions were self-defense..."

Before he could finish, he was rudely interrupted. "Whether it's self-defense isn't for you to decide. You were a participant too, weren't you? All of you, behave yourselves, or there will be consequences."

"You're talking absolute bullshit!"

Qin Chuan rarely used foul language, but he slammed his work ID onto the table and said with a majestic aura, "Tell your Bureau Chief to come and speak with me!"

A mere Police Station Chief—did he think he could do whatever he wanted?

To dare speak to me like that!

Seeing the work ID, the police officers' eyes narrowed. They thought to themselves, is this young man also within the system?

The Station Chief picked up the ID and looked at it. Then, his face changed, and his hands began to tremble slightly.

Why hadn't he checked the omens today? He had run right into the hands of the Deputy Director of the 6th Inspection Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection!

Just now, Secretary Wu had personally called, saying his mother had been hit by some thugs on the subway and demanding the Police Station handle it strictly. He would also be arriving shortly.

The Station Chief had guaranteed over the phone that he would handle it strictly and ensure Secretary Wu was satisfied. That was why he had questioned them so aggressively upon entering.

This was someone from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, not the District or Provincial Commission. More importantly, he wasn't some low-level grunt, but a Deputy Director at the Deputy Department Level.

Holding the ID with both hands, the Station Chief's expression had completely transformed, replaced by a sycophantic, fawning look. "Director Qin, it's a misunderstanding. Everything is a misunderstanding."

Qin Chuan gave a cold snort. "Make the call. Tell your Bureau Chief to come here!"

Qin Chuan couldn't be bothered to speak with such a small character. At the very least, it had to be the Bureau Chief of Guangming District.

"Yes, yes, I'll go make the call right away."

The Station Chief led the others out of the room dejectedly, likely to report Qin Chuan's identity to their Bureau Chief.

The Bureau Chief of the Guangming District Public Security Branch didn't arrive immediately, whether he was delayed by something or for some other reason.

While he hadn't arrived, an incredibly arrogant voice rang out from outside the door. "Who hit my mother? How dare they kick a hornet's nest like this!"

As the voice fell, the door to the room was kicked open. A young man around thirty years old walked in, glancing disdainfully at the three of them before his gaze landed on Qin Chuan.

He pointed at Qin Chuan. "Kid, was it you who slapped my mother?"
