Chapter 427: Traditional Chinese Medicine Interrogation!

Baihejie's fists kept pounding Lu Chengyu's body.

Each strike was delivered with vengeful fury, without an ounce of restraint.

Not far away, none of the Su Group's colleagues dared to step forward to stop him.

This is the underworld's revenge—what ordinary civilian would dare to interfere?

Su Monong didn't intervene either; she had long wanted to get rid of Lu Chengyu and couldn't be bothered to get involved.

As for Sun Licheng and his daughter, they merely watched coldly from the sidelines.

Although Lu Chengyu was part of the Sun family's faction, would they really offend the Young Master of the White Gold Han Group just to save one Lu Chengyu?

Sun Licheng thought it wasn't worth it, so he would rather sacrifice Lu Chengyu.

This alone shows how ruthless and vicious Sun Licheng is.

Lu Chengyu curled up on the ground, being continuously beaten by Baihejie…

His screams gradually weakened into moans, dark red blood continually seeping from the corner of his mouth…

At his ribs, it felt as if they were broken, pain making his whole body tremble.

Lu Chengyu completely broke down.

He realized he was merely a tool Baihejie used to save face.

But he didn't even dare to muster the strength to resist.

In no time, Lu Chengyu was struck into a dazed state.

His body went limp on the ground; he couldn't even lift his arms to shield his head.

Baihejie finally stopped, kicked Lu Chengyu in the waist with his foot, and said harshly:

"Get up, apologize to Lin Yuan… kneel down!"

Lu Chengyu felt excruciating pain all over, yet he dared not defy.

Lu Chengyu could only prop himself up with his arms, inching his knees forward…

With a "thud," Lu Chengyu knelt before Lin Yuan.

His voice trembled with sobs, mixed with ragged breathing:

"Lin… Lin Yuan, I'm sorry… it's my fault… I shouldn't… I shouldn't have stirred up trouble between you and Bai gongzi…"

Having said that, Lu Chengyu could no longer hold himself up, his forehead hitting the ground.

Zhao Yuyan watched this sorry scene and sneered, "Baihejie, do you think finding a scapegoat to kneel will let you get away with it?"

An Yunxi also spoke, her gaze sharp as she swept over Baihejie: "He admits his fault, but your debt remains unpaid. Baihejie, it's time you apologized."

Baihejie's face fluctuated between green and white.

Apologize?

He had been mixing in the underworld for years and had never bowed his head to anyone!

This was his last shred of dignity; he could not afford to lose it.

Baihejie snapped coldly, "An Yunxi, Zhao Yuyan, are you being unreasonable?! Making me apologize? Impossible!"

Zhao Yuyan's eyes darkened; she was about to wave for the bodyguards to step forward.

Suddenly a sharp siren wailed from afar.

The siren drew nearer and nearer!

Dozens of police cars emblazoned with the City Public Security Bureau insignia came roaring!

Baihejie had still been stubbornly refusing to lower his head…

But when he saw the police cars, Baihejie's face turned ashen in an instant!

A layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on his back.

Baihejie knew that clashing head‑on with the police would bring no good outcome.

At this point Baihejie could no longer worry about dignity.

Baihejie hurriedly took two quick steps toward Lin Yuan: "Lin Yuan, it was all a misunderstanding just now—I'll apologize, bro, let's forget this."

To make Baihejie lower his head and apologize was already the utmost humiliation for him.

"You think an apology lets you just walk away?" Lin Yuan suddenly lifted his head and stared at Baihejie.

A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Baihejie had no time to waste words with Lin Yuan; he turned to leave…

Baihejie certainly didn't want to be caught by the police.

But Zhao Yuyan had already stepped sideways to block his path.

"What are you rushing off for? What are you panicking about?"

Zhao Yuyan glanced at the approaching police officers and deliberately raised her voice:

"Since the City Public Security Bureau personnel have arrived, why not lay out today's events clearly? We can wait for the police to finish their handling before saying more—why the rush? Could it be you're guilty?"

Baihejie was blocked by Zhao Yuyan in front of him, his steps frozen in place.

The panic on his face could not be concealed.

The siren grew closer, and a dozen police cars pulled up steadily at the edge of the square.

Mu Lingxue, wearing a crisp police uniform, led Public Security Bureau officers swiftly toward the crowd.

She marched straight up to Baihejie, held up an arrest warrant, and spoke clearly and without room for doubt:

"Baihejie, you are suspected of provoking trouble and sheltering black‑gang forces; we are now placing you under arrest by law—come with us!"

Baihejie's face changed instantly; he waved his hands in denial: "I didn't do anything! I only came to chat a few words with Lin Yuan—I have no involvement with gangs! You can't just slap baseless charges on me!"

Baihejie certainly didn't want to get tangled up with the police—that would be troublesome.

Mu Lingxue's eyes turned cold as she swept her gaze over the surrounding onlookers…

She saw the weapons scattered on the ground.

Mu Lingxue said in a cold tone:

"With so many people watching the scene, the electric batons and steel pipes on the ground are evidence! There's also surveillance footage from the Su Group entrance recording everything—do you still want to make excuses?"

Baihejie's face gradually turned deathly pale.

I clearly came today to get revenge on Lin Yuan, wanting to vent my earlier anger—how did I end up like this? Not only did I fail to teach him a lesson, I even got myself involved!

He still wanted to say something…

The officer beside Mu Lingxue stepped forward, drew his pistol and aimed at him, his tone warning:

"Don't move! If you resist again, you'll be treated as resisting arrest, and you'll bear all the consequences!"

Baihejie stared at the dark muzzle and immediately dared not move.

Behind Baihejie, the thugs wanted to resist.

But Baihejie gave them an angry glare, signaling them not to move recklessly!

Are you kidding? This is the police!

If you move recklessly, the charges will really stick!

Baihejie's body froze in place, and he dared not say another word.

He let the police step forward and cuff his hands.

At this moment, he could not defend himself no matter what, and could only stabilize the situation first.

Zhao Yuyan looked at the subdued Baihejie, lightly nodded to the bodyguards behind her, signaling to withdraw.

An Yunxi also raised her hand, letting her subordinates stand down; there was no need to continue the standoff.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Zhao Yuyan slowly walked up to Lin Yuan.

"Lin Yuan, call me anytime if you need anything; I'll always be by your side."

After she finished speaking, she didn't say more, turned and walked toward the motorcade…

Zhao Yuyan's high heels clicked on the asphalt until the black vehicle drove away from the square.

After An Yunxi finished arranging her subordinates' deployment, she then walked slowly to Lin Yuan's side.

An Yunxi lightly smoothed her cuffs with her fingertips, her whole person still exuding her usual aloof aura:

"If you run into trouble, just look for me anytime."

After giving that reminder, An Yunxi gave Lin Yuan a slight nod, then turned and left…

The black-clad bodyguards followed closely behind, their steps neat and without the slightest disorder…

Soon, An Yunxi also disappeared around the corner, leaving only a faint cold fragrance lingering in the air.

Mu Lingxue stood not far away, taking in the sight of the two saying goodbye to Lin Yuan…

When she lowered her lashes then lifted her gaze, her beautiful eyes held a hint of sharpness, and her originally relaxed shoulders subtly tensed.

Mu Lingxue withdrew her gaze from the corner and walked step by step toward Lin Yuan.

When Mu Lingxue's gaze fell on his face, it was full of probing intent.

Mu Lingxue asked coldly: "Lin Yuan? How do you know Zhao Yuyan and An Yunxi?"

"These two are well-known figures in the underworld, and they've long been key targets of our Public Security Bureau; you should know their backgrounds."

Lin Yuan felt a sudden tightness in his chest from Mu Lingxue's question, and his gaze unconsciously drifted to the side.

Lin Yuan explained: "I make a living with Chinese medicine; I've treated a few people from the martial world before."

He paused, then quickly added details.

"Some of them had strange ailments that Western medicine couldn't diagnose; I treated them a few times, and we gradually got to know each other—there's nothing else going on."

Mu Lingxue's gaze lingered on his face for a moment,

Seeing Lin Yuan's calm expression.

The tension in her brows eased slightly, and she didn't press further for details.

It seemed Lin Yuan wasn't lying.

Mu Lingxue stepped forward half a step and warned solemnly:

"The people and affairs of the martial world are complicated; they're also key targets of the bureau, so keep your distance from now on—don't get dragged into trouble."

Lin Yuan, hearing Mu Lingxue's reminder, quickly nodded in agreement.

He didn't dare say more, fearing he might inadvertently reveal a flaw.

At that moment, Su Monong also hurried forward, her voice full of concern: "Lin Yuan, were you hurt in the fight just now? Should we go to a nearby hospital for a check-up?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and said he was fine.

Su Monong then recalled An Yunxi, who had been standing beside Lin Yuan earlier, and couldn't help asking in a low voice:

"By the way, how did you get to know that Miss An just now? I hadn't heard you mention her before."

Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but he stuck with his earlier excuse, trying to sound casual:

"I also met her through helping people with Chinese medicine; we're just ordinary friends, nothing special."

Not far away, several officers were escorting Baihejie and his lackeys onto police cars one by one.

The clinking of handcuffs could be heard faintly; soon after, the police cars blared their sirens and drove off the square.

Mu Lingxue glanced at the scene being cleared, then turned to Lin Yuan and said: "Today's matter requires you to go to the Public Security Bureau to give a statement, to cooperate with our investigation."

Lin Yuan turned to Su Monong and said: "I'll be back soon, don't worry."

Afterward, he followed Mu Lingxue toward a nearby police car...

Dozens of police cars seized Baihejie and the other gang members, their sirens wailing as they roared away...

……

Lin Yuan sat in the police car, uploading the nude photos and videos he had taken of Baihejie the previous night to Wang Hang.

Douyin, Weibo, public accounts…… released on all platforms.

Since Baihejie is unkind, don't blame him for being unjust.

……

Half an hour later, Baihejie was taken into the interrogation room.

The interrogation room's incandescent light was blindingly bright.

Baihejie sat on the iron chair, his handcuffs locked to the table leg, yet he still held his neck stiff, his eyes full of defiance.

Mu Lingxue sat opposite, her voice cold and hard: "The illegal lending, mass brawling involving Bai Jinhán, and the black‑society gang you're shielding—spit it out."

Baihejie sneered: "I didn't do anything; you have no right to interrogate me. If you're capable, produce solid evidence."

No matter how they questioned him, he clenched his teeth and refused to speak.

After an hour of interrogation, it yielded nothing.

Mu Lingxue walked out of the interrogation room with a furrowed brow, looking at Lin Yuan waiting outside.

She hesitated a moment, then spoke: "Baihejie won't talk; his mouth is too tough. Your Chinese‑medicine methods… might be worth a try."

Lin Yuan nodded, pushed the door open and entered the interrogation room.

Inside the interrogation room, Baihejie saw Lin Yuan enter, and he was first taken aback?

"Lin Yuan? What the hell are you doing in here?!" Baihejie snapped angrily.

Lin Yuan said coldly, "I'm interrogating you."

Baihejie, hearing this, suddenly sneered: "What? Is the City Public Security Bureau out of usable people? Officer Mu couldn't get anything out of you, so they sent this Chinese‑medicine quack to put on a show? Don't even think you'll squeeze a word out of me."

Lin Yuan didn't respond, walking over to Baihejie's side.

He said calmly: "Hegu, Quchi, Neiguan—these three pressure points linked together can push a person's nerves to the limit, yet reveal no external injury."

As his words fell, his thumb suddenly pressed on Baihejie's Hegu point, the force gradually increasing.

Baihejie initially held out, but within seconds cold sweat broke out on his forehead!

Baihejie's face turned pale, his body trembling uncontrollably: "You… what are you doing? Let go!"

Lin Yuan withdrew his hand, looking at his tense state, his tone still flat:

"Speak now, and you'll suffer less. Tell me the hideouts and money flows of your Bai family's black‑society gang, and I'll let go."
