Chapter 548: Who Else Could It Be?
After tidying up a bit, Yang Chen planned to go home for a shower and then return to the company to take An Xin out for lunch. These past few days, the little fairy had been harassed by Lu Min and was angered by An Zaihuan, losing quite a bit of weight, which made Yang Chen feel heartbroken.
But before Yang Chen could step out, the office phone rang. Judging by the number, it was an internal call.
Yang Chen answered, and his deputy, Zhao Teng, urgently said, "Director, the West District Police Station has suddenly sent people over, and Director Lu came in person. They said they are here to arrest someone!"
After listening, Yang Chen raised an eyebrow, said "Got it," and hung up the phone.
Zhao Teng's voice was loud enough for An Xin to hear as well. Instantly, the blush on her face disappeared, and she asked worriedly, "Is it Lu Min?"
"Who else could it be?" Yang Chen sneered. "That guy is quite efficient. In just half an hour, he called in the police chief, who directly barged into the company to arrest someone. He wants to make a big scene."
At that moment, the office door was pushed open from the outside, and several plainclothes detectives filed in. The leading figure was a stocky but sharp-looking middle-aged man in uniform, evidently Chief Lu.
"Are you Yang Chen?" Chief Lu scrutinized Yang Chen and asked in a low voice.
Yang Chen nodded. "I wonder why the police officers are here at my company. I don't think I've committed any crimes."
Yang Chen had some impression of Chief Lu, not from meeting him but from the time when he had a conflict with Qi Kai over Liu Mingyu. Back then, Qi Kai had called Deputy Director Lu. However, Cai Yan was still in the West District Police Station at that time, and this guy was just a deputy. Now that Cai Yan had left, he had been promoted.
With the Qi family wiped out, this guy seemed to be doing well, climbing the ranks smoothly.
"Don't play dumb. Someone has accused you of attempted murder, and there is solid evidence. Denying it won't help. Arrest him!" Without further ado, Chief Lu immediately ordered the arrest.
Several officers rushed forward, not showing any courtesy to Yang Chen, and handcuffed him.
An Xin was anxious but didn't know what to do.
Yang Chen had no intention of resisting. He couldn't just kill a bunch of police officers in broad daylight; he still wanted to live a good life in Zhonghai. Moreover, these officers were merely following orders from Chief Lu and had done nothing wrong.
It was unexpected that when Qi Kai had Lu arrest him, Lu didn't dare to act after investigating Yang Chen's background, likely due to his dubious records and Cai Yan's special instructions. Now that Lu Min had ordered the arrest, Chief Lu hurried over.
It seemed that Lu Min held more weight than the Qi family and even surpassed the Cai family, which truly surprised Yang Chen.
Outside the office, many employees, including Zhao Teng and Wang Jie, were already gathered. Seeing Yang Chen being arrested, they were too frightened to speak, only looking at him with concern.
"Don't all stand there blocking the way. Get back to work. I haven't been sentenced to death," Yang Chen joked, then turned to An Xin, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Chief Lu sneered, "Stop talking nonsense. Whether you come back or not isn't up to you. Take him away!"
As the police officers pushed past the employees, they escorted Yang Chen out of the office. An Xin watched him being taken away, biting her lip with tears in her eyes. Even though she knew Yang Chen was incredibly skilled, this was the police, and it was obvious that Lu Min was targeting him. No matter how strong Yang Chen was, he couldn't face the power of the state!
After the police left, Zhao Teng and Wang Jie dispersed the employees and entered the office to comfort An Xin. "Miss An, don't be too sad. The director will be fine. They can't act above the law."
An Xin smiled bitterly. As someone from a high-society family, she knew that some powers indeed acted above the law, but she couldn't say that out loud.
Wang Jie suggested, "Miss An, should we notify Director Yang's family? Or perhaps we should get a lawyer for him first?"
Family? An Xin hesitated. Should she inform Yang Chen's family? If his family found out he was arrested and she hadn't told them, would they resent her? But if she did tell them, would Yang Chen blame her for worrying his family?
After some thought, An Xin decided to call a lawyer first to ensure Yang Chen's rights and prevent him from suffering any hardships.
She asked Wang Jie and Zhao Teng to leave, then picked up the phone on her desk to call the best lawyers she knew in Zhonghai.
After making these arrangements, An Xin considered calling An Zaihuan but then decided against it. An Zaihuan was so afraid of Lu Min that he wouldn't dare help Yang Chen and provoke Lu Min.
At that moment, there was a knock on the office door.
An Xin thought it was an employee and said, "Come in."
However, two strangers entered, a man and a woman. The man was tall and well-built, with a heroic look and wearing a gray tight-fitting sports T-shirt, his muscles well-defined. The woman was quite cute and delicate, only reaching the man's chest, dressed simply in a T-shirt and jeans with no makeup.
"Who are you two?" An Xin asked, puzzled.
The woman smiled slightly, "You must be An Xin, Miss An."
An Xin nodded, wondering how they knew her.
"My name is Ye Zi, and this is Tian Long," Ye Zi pointed to the man beside her. "We're here to tell you that if you want to get Mr. Yang out of the police station safely, it's best to call his family."
An Xin wasn't stupid; she immediately realized these two definitely knew Yang Chen and had a way to help him. She quickly grabbed Ye Zi's hand, a bit agitated, "Miss Ye Zi, Mr. Tian Long, you can get Yang Chen out, right? Please help him. It's all my fault for causing him this trouble. He's been framed."
Seeing An Xin's sorrowful face, Ye Zi and Tian Long exchanged a wry smile.
They weren't worried about whether Yang Chen was framed. Their concern was that if the police really angered Yang Chen, and he decided to destroy the police station, it would be a huge embarrassment for the Yanhuang Iron Brigade.
Since Cai Ning was called back to Yanjing, the task of watching over Yang Chen had fallen to Ye Zi and the recovered Tian Long. Now, they were considered a couple within the Yanhuang Iron Brigade. The new general, Cai Yun Cheng, knowing their good relationship with Yang Chen, allowed them a couple of years to rest while also being ready to step in and stop Yang Chen if necessary, a thoughtful arrangement.
Originally, Ye Zi and Tian Long thought that after the Zeng family incident, no one would dare mess with Yang Chen. But unexpectedly, this trouble magnet managed to provoke Lu Min right after returning from Paris!
Lu Min himself wasn't a big deal, but the power behind him was something even the Yanhuang Iron Brigade couldn't easily touch. That's why they didn't directly get Yang Chen out of the police station but instead suggested that An Xin call Yang Chen's family.
Of course, the key person to call was Guo Xuehua.
"Miss An, please don't be too nervous. Mr. Yang will absolutely be fine. Our concern is that things could escalate beyond control. Please call Mr. Yang's family, especially his mother. Everything will be resolved once she knows," Ye Zi said softly. As a woman, she understood the uncontrollable fear and anxiety when a loved one was in trouble, similar to when Tian Long was severely injured by the Sandstorm group, nearly causing her to cry her eyes dry.
An Xin was taken aback. She had never met Yang Chen's mother. From what she remembered, Yang Chen had mentioned he was an orphan, which left her confused.
"Miss An, don't hesitate. There's no time to lose," Tian Long urged sternly.
An Xin snapped out of her daze and nodded quickly but then realized she didn't know Yang Chen's family phone number.
"Here," Ye Zi handed her a red phone. "Use this number."
As someone specifically tasked with monitoring Yang Chen, Ye Zi had all his contact information prepared. However, she and Tian Long were not suitable for contacting Yang Chen's family, as they were members of a covert organization. Finding someone else was not appropriate either, so they turned to An Xin, who was Yang Chen's woman and thus a suitable choice.
The two of them were accustomed to seeing Yang Chen with various beauties and knew that Rose and Mo Qianni even lived next door openly. They assumed Yang Chen didn't hide anything from his family, which led them to have An Xin call Guo Xuehua. If Yang Chen knew, he would probably want to kick them out on the spot!
In the eyes of his elders, he was already seen as a philanderer. By bringing An Xin into the mix, it would only worsen his reputation. Even the tolerant Wang Ma and Guo Xuehua might roll their eyes at him, not to mention the disapproval from Zhenxiu. That would leave Yang Chen facing four pairs of disdainful eyes at home, including Lin Ruoxi's!
The thought of calling Yang Chen's mother made An Xin incredibly nervous. It overshadowed the worry about Yang Chen's arrest. She cleared her throat, took a few deep breaths to calm herself, and then carefully dialed the number on the phone.
Tian Long and Ye Zi exchanged wry smiles, recognizing the pressure of meeting the mother-in-law, especially when not the official girlfriend. They didn't realize An Xin had already cursed Yang Chen thousands of times in her mind for making her first conversation with his mother about delivering bad news. As a mistress, this call would only worsen her standing, ensuring she had no hope of being liked in the future.
Despite her thoughts, the call connected.
"Hello, who is this?" A gentle woman's voice came through the phone, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.
