He looked at Wu An: "Send me the video."

Wu An smiled and nodded.

The two added contact information, and the videos were sent one by one.

Beside her, Wei Zhen was angrily cursing, feeling that Wu An's refusal to shake her hand was overly arrogant, completely disregarding her.

She shouted that she was unwilling to settle.

Liu Long was soothing.

Yu Kai Lang checked the video, confirmed there was no problem, walked over to Liu Long, and said, "Master, come take a look at this."

Liu Long picked up his phone, walked over, and began watching it.

After finishing, he looked at Yu Kai Lang; without waiting for a question, Yu Kai Lang explained the situation.

Liu Long sucked in a breath of cold air, his eyes flickering; given his decades of experience as a police officer, the situation that had emerged was extremely thorny.

Yu Kai Lang asked, "Master, what should we do?"

Liu Long took out a cigarette, lit it, took two puffs, gritted his teeth and said, "First call the station and have them assign people to detain those involved in the video."

"Never mind, I'll contact the station chief myself."

"It also involves the medical system… this is going to be tough."

Yu Kai Lang asked, "Master, the evidence is solid—surely we can't let the bad guys get away?"

Liu Long shook his head, saying nothing.

As for his own disciple, he naturally knew that, having just started work, he was young and full of vigor, zealous against evil, and could not tolerate any impurity.

Especially being kind-hearted, he could not stand deceit, fraud, or bullying the weak.

He also doesn't understand some unspoken rules; in short… the waters there are probably deep.

However, at present the situation is already quite clear.

Wu An saw Chen Long harassing Shen Fang, Seeing Justice and Courage struck Chen Long, Chen Long feigned illness, had his family come to extort Wu An, and the worst part is that they had already extorted once and were coming back for a second time!

Wu An couldn't bear it, so he angrily called the police.

For them, there's no need for painstaking mediation; just arrest Wei Zhen.

No matter what.

She clearly knew her son was faking illness, yet she still brought people to cause trouble—this is extortion.

Liu Long went to make a call, while Yu Kai Lang wasn't idle either, approaching Wu An and the others and asking, "Last time Wei Zhen came to your house to extort, how much money did she take?"

Mei Yueqin blinked: "Huh? Extortion?"

Wu Yingwei's eyes lit up: "Can we classify it as such?"

Normally there shouldn't be a clear answer, but Yu Kai Lang, being young, nodded and said, "Yes."

Wu Yingwei's face lit up with joy.

Mei Yueqin and Wu Ping also realized, their faces full of delight; Mei Yueqin turned and ran back into the house, pulling out a sheet of paper, saying, "I kept the receipt from then."

"Besides ten thousand yuan in cash, there were some home appliances, and the chickens and ducks I raised…"

Wu An said, "I also gave ten thousand yuan."

Yu Kai Lang asked, "Do you have a receipt?"

Wu An shook his head; at the time his mind was a mess, so naturally he had nothing.

Yu Kai Lang pondered, then said, "It doesn't matter; we can still find out. All those items together probably exceed thirty thousand yuan."

Mei Yueqin asked, "What happens if it's over thirty thousand yuan?"

Yu Kai Lang said, "It constitutes a huge amount in extortion, punishable by three to ten years' imprisonment and a fine."

Mei Yueqin's face filled with surprise; she asked, "Then… can we get our money back?"

Yu Kai Lang nodded: "Of course."

The whole family was overjoyed, while Wu An wore a calm expression.

Although there was some calculation on his part, Chen Long's feigned illness and Wei Zhen's extortion are facts.

He fanned the flames in this matter, expanding its impact and implicating many, yet he was at fault first, and their imprisonment is their own doing.

Liu Long finished calling the station, had Wei Zhen assist in the investigation, and now needs to go to the police station.

Wei Zhen panicked.

She was anxious.

She certainly didn't want to.

"On what grounds are you arresting me?"

"That brat beat up my son, who's still in the hospital—you should be arresting him!"

"I can see it now—you're all in cahoots!"

"What are the Chen family doing? Hurry up and help me!"

The Chen family gathered around, shouting, asking what this meant.

Liu Long loudly shouted, "Everyone, stop!"

"I'm enforcing the law; if you come forward again, you'll be obstructing law enforcement."

"Based on the current situation, Wei Zhen is suspected of extortion, the circumstances are serious, and she will be apprehended according to law."

Having said that.

He took out the handcuffs, 'Click—' twice, and cuffed Wei Zhen's wrists.

Originally.

He hadn't intended to do this; he wanted to give Wei Zhen some dignity, but since she didn't want it, he saw no need to be polite.

The Chen family naturally dared not step forward again.

Everyone saw the scene and was shocked.

What's going on?

Wasn't it supposed to be a reconciliation?

How did the two police suddenly arrest Wei Zhen?

Wei Zhen struggled desperately, frightened into tears.

She brought a gang to shake people down, didn't get a penny, and ended up arrested—typical 'if you don't court death, you won't die'.

Liu Long glared at the Chen family and barked, 'Get out of here!'

Don't cause trouble here.

After Yu Kai Lang clarified the situation, he and Liu Long pulled Wei Zhen into the police car; then Yu Kai Lang and Wu An nodded in greeting and got in.

Soon, the police car wailed as it drove off.

The Chen family members glanced at each other, then all hurriedly got into their cars and left—a stark contrast to their earlier noisy, arrogant crowding around the Wu family's home.

Villagers gathered around.

Wu An, I didn't expect you to have such connections.

Holy cow, you're really blowing your own trumpet!

Brother An, have a cigarette.

Brother, take me along to play from now on.

Everyone smiled and flattered, their gazes toward Wu An tinged with a hint of awe.

Wu An chuckled and said, 'Don't talk nonsense; if I really had such connections, I wouldn't have been bullied before.'

Chen Long faked illness, and she came to extort, which is why she was arrested.

Everyone suddenly understood.

I said that woman isn't any good.

In that case, A An was truly wronged; why didn't you say so last time, letting people extort all that money for nothing?

Who could believe what Wu An said back then?

Indeed, fortunate that Shen Fang is willing to step forward and testify this time.

Hearing everyone say that, Wu An took out a cigarette, handed them out one by one, and said, 'I also want to thank everyone for coming to show support; otherwise Wei Zhen would surely have brought the Chen family to storm our home.'

Everyone took the cigarettes and also offered many kind words.

A An is really polite.

We're all from the same village; it's only right.

We won't let anyone bully Old Wu.

Wow, this cigarette… is a Zhonghua.

Wu An said, 'I usually can't bear to smoke it; I only took it out today for show.'

At this moment, you're good, I'm good, everyone's good.

Shen Fang watched Wu An, surrounded and getting along with everyone, able to joke with anyone, feeling a sting in her eyes, unable to understand how he had suddenly become so dazzling.

She felt some regret.

Had she known this would happen, she shouldn't have hastily broken up with Wu An back then.

Now thinking of getting back together…

That image of the 'perfect, ideal woman' flashed in her mind, and she felt completely deflated.

What does she have to compete with anyone for?
