From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor

The other party involved in the fight at the gate of Lake View No.1 had also been notified and six of them had arrived. The police station officers were taking their statements, among whom several had prior records.

The person in charge of taking their statements was named Tian Kaiqiang. Xu Chunliang briefly explained what happened, thinking the police station was making a mountain out of a molehill since both parties had already reached an agreement.

Tian Kaiqiang said, "The agreement you reached earlier was regarding the traffic violation, this is about something else."

Wu Fajun said, "They came over with more than a dozen people to fight us, we couldn’t just stand by and do nothing, plus there were no injuries, it doesn’t constitute a criminal case."

"Oh, seems like you know a bit about the law. Yes! Minor injuries don’t constitute a criminal case, no criminal responsibility, only administrative penalties and civil liability. Generally, minor injuries can be mediated by the police. Once an agreement is reached, no further punishment. If mediation fails, fines or administrative detention for up to 15 days can be imposed. However, if it constitutes intentional injury or gang fighting, the police station will file a case for investigation."

Xu Chunliang and Wu Fajun exchanged a glance, could it be the police station wanted to treat tonight’s incident as organized fighting? If so, that would be troublesome.

Xu Chunliang said, "We both have already reached an agreement, we won’t hold each other accountable."

Tian Kaiqiang said, "That’s not what they say. There are many videos online from the scene, which are not in your favor. Let me remind you, under current law in our country, for organized fighting, the primary instigators and other active participants may be sentenced to up to three years in prison, detention, or supervised readjustment."

"At most, we’re considered as self-defense, not organized fighting, besides, organized fighting involves at least three people, we’re just two." Grandmaster Xu’s mind was crystal clear.

"You don’t seem to understand the law very well, let me enlighten you. The crime of organized fighting violates public order, which pertains to the rules and order that should be followed in public life. Blatant disregard for law and social morals, disrupting public order, is the essential characteristic of the crime of organized fighting. The objective aspect of organized fighting is the action of gathering people for a brawl, which is a heinous criminal act seriously affecting public order."

Xu Chunliang said, "Don’t scare me; I’ll call a lawyer to speak with you."

Tian Kaiqiang chuckled and said, "I’m really not trying to scare you. There’s currently a joint effort across the city for strict enforcement, you really picked a fine time to cause trouble for us." He glanced at their records and then at Wu Fajun, "You’re the deputy manager of Huanyan Health, impressive. How come someone in your position is involved in a fight?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Even a saint can have a temper, let alone a leader, they are human too."

Wu Fajun said, "We’ve explained the situation clearly and signed the papers, can we go now?"

"No, wait until the other party arrives, we’ll clarify the whole situation before deciding. Why don’t you two go to the next room to cool off for now?"

Xu Chunliang and Wu Fajun were put into a small holding room to wait. The six people who arrived first were already squatting in there, beaten black and blue, and were discussing strategies.

Seeing the two enemies come in, they all stared at them with hostile eyes.

Xu Chunliang glared back, "What are you looking at? Want another beating?"

Wu Fajun quickly restrained him, knowing that getting into a fight here would definitely be punished more severely. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The police outside scolded, "Stay quiet, calm down, and think carefully about anything you might have missed out explaining." With that, they slammed the door shut.

The bald man among the six sighed, "Are you guys out of your minds? We’ve already agreed to settle this privately, why are you still pushing it? You’re making a big deal out of this during New Year, ending up at the police station?"

Xu Chunliang found it both funny and frustrating; now they decide to be reasonable? Where was this when Sheng Chaomei called to gather the mob, with each one eagerly lining up to bully for her? Now that things have escalated, they’re scared."

"It’s you guys who are crazy, it’s not us who asked for a beating."

Wu Fajun said, "Let’s all say less, no one wants to be here during New Year."

Both parties seemed to realize, neither pressed charges, it was the police station looking into them. The commotion tonight had drawn too much attention; the police couldn’t ignore it, if it escalates, the upper management would hold the local police station accountable.

Wu Fajun said, "I tell you, we might all be in for some trouble tonight."

"What’s going on?" Two people from the other side scooted over; nobody wanted to stay in the station during New Year, and for now, the police were claiming they were just waiting for people, not mentioning detainment.

Wu Fajun said, "I heard there’s a crackdown recently. We might be caught in the storm."

The bald man said, "I heard about that too. Sheng Chaomei really screwed us over, with this timing of the crackdown, we might be dealt with more harshly."

Wu Fajun said, "It’s not that serious, we don’t have any deep enmities, and no one was seriously hurt. As long as we don’t press it, they probably won’t make a big deal of it."

The six on the other side all nodded, the bald man thought Wu Fajun was reasonable, but the first one to charge him tonight seemed to be him."

Xu Chunliang found this quite interesting, it was his first time in a holding room like this. Judging by the way the police handled them, it shouldn’t be too serious since they hadn’t even confiscated their phones, which clearly indicated they were still allowed to make contacts.

After chatting with the bald man for a while, Wu Fajun returned to Xu Chunliang and whispered, "Later, we’ll tell the same story, that we knew each other, got drunk, and fought. Now that we’re sober."

Xu Chunliang said, "Police aren’t idiots; even saying that requires someone willing to believe it."

Wu Fajun lowered his voice, "I just contacted an old classmate. He said the crackdown is serious, issued by Secretary Zhou himself, so he couldn’t intervene." He paused, "Do you have any solid connections?"

"I have nothing to hide." Even if he had connections, he wouldn’t say it. Xu Chunliang wasn’t that familiar with Wu Fajun; no point in dragging others into this. Besides, all signs suggested today’s incident wasn’t too serious, not worth using connections for.

Wu Fajun said, "I was the first to charge out and hit, don’t forget that."

Xu Chunliang thought he was still loyal, whispering, "Your intention was to help me, so it wasn’t really related to you. Just stick to saying you didn’t do anything."

When Xu Chunliang and Wu Fajun came to the police station’s entrance, they found a white Beetle parked there.

Su Qing was waiting outside the car.

Wu Fajun sensibly smiled and said, "I’m taking off now!"

Xu Chunliang waved at him, "See you!"

Xu Chunliang walked over to Su Qing.

Su Qing smiled and said, "How was the police station experience?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Wonderful, how did you know I was here?"

Su Qing said, "Don’t forget I studied journalism."

Xu Chunliang nodded, guessing that his phone call was overheard by her, "You shouldn’t have studied journalism; you should be in espionage."

Su Qing opened the car door, "Come on, I’ll take you home."

Xu Chunliang got into the passenger seat, Su Qing didn’t turn off the engine, warm air filled the car.

"Weren’t you working late?"

Su Qing said, "Overtime doesn’t mean night shift, task’s done. Xu Chunliang, take a look at your phone."

Xu Chunliang said, "Looking at that’s not as good as looking at you."

Su Qing’s face warmed up, "I meant the news, you might be going viral."

Xu Chunliang said, "Viral?"

Su Qing said, "At first, the BMW hitting Audi had high trending, but now your fighting’s trending has far exceeded BMW hitting Audi."

Xu Chunliang opened a short video app, immediately spotting footage of himself fighting at the gate, scrolling through several videos centered on him. He initially thought Wu Fajun stole his spotlight by being the first to act.

Seems like he’s naturally lead character material, onlookers’ focus was primarily on him.

Xu Chunliang mused, "I never knew I looked so cool fighting."

Su Qing didn’t expect his focus to be there, couldn’t help but laugh, "You, still in the mood to think about that, didn’t you find it weird?"

Xu Chunliang said, "What’s weird?"

Su Qing analyzed from a news perspective, the BMW-Audi crash should initially have more news value than the brawl, hence its initial high traction. But the fighting trend quickly soared, surpassing it in no time, with fight videos everywhere, rare BMW-Audi videos visible now.

Another odd thing was that almost all the videos focused on Xu Chunliang, making it seem as if he was fighting alone if one didn’t know the whole story. Captures were mostly frontal and profile shots, even with a slow-motion video, shot on a professional DSLR.

That’s why Su Qing said he might be going viral.
