Chapter 193: Chapter 179: Don’t Be So Sensitive About Such a Minor Character

"How much have you stored up?"

"What are you planning to trade your points for later?"

Jing Yanwei watched them puffing away. Frowning slightly, she walked to the other side of the hallway and opened a window for some air.

The moment their gazes left the room, Zhao Youcai seized the opportunity. He walked over and used a master key to open the lock on Lin Xiaojun’s door.

He stepped inside, his face grim and ruthless.

’If no one else is going to do it, then I will...’

’Since Yu Dong gave me a gun, I have to make it count.’

Inside, Lin Xiaojun was lying on his bed, reading a novel called *I Am King in the Apocalypse* on his freshly charged phone. Hearing the noise, he turned his head.

"Who’s there?"

He wasn’t particularly alarmed. This was police territory; there was order here.

Zhao Youcai’s face slowly emerged from the shadows...

The gun in his hand was pointed at Lin Xiaojun.

"Lin Xiaojun. Get up. Go stand on the balcony."

Lin Xiaojun: "!!!"

...

As Yu Dong ran upstairs, he happened to run into Officer Wang at the elevator.

"You heading up too, Wang?"

"Yeah, I’m taking over for Officer Jing. I’ll be keeping an eye on things tonight."

"Oh..."

Yu Dong said, a knot of nervousness tightening in his stomach. But Wang Dingbei didn’t notice at all and asked,

"Are you heading back up, or are you going to the 12th floor to check on Lin Xiaojun and the others?"

"The 12th floor."

The elevator was moving. Wang Dingbei now felt that perhaps he had been a little too harsh earlier.

"Yu Dong, you know I have nothing against you. We can be frank with each other, right?"

"Yeah, I know, Wang. No need to explain."

Right now, Yu Dong’s biggest fear was that Zhao Youcai might act on his own, but Wang Dingbei seemed to have just gotten started talking.

"Yu Dong, I was just thinking about something. In your experience, are you sure Lin Xiaojun committed a crime this time? Or is it possible he didn’t?"

"I think... there’s a high probability he did. Lin Mo has gone to find Yang Yi. She’s our breakthrough."

A person like Zhao Yun was perfectly aligned with Lin Xiaojun’s philosophy and was even willing to actively help cover for him. Yu Dong didn’t expect to get anything out of her.

DING~

The elevator arrived.

"Well... I hope Dr. Lin brings back some good news."

The two of them walked out of the elevator together. Yu Dong made a beeline for Lin Xiaojun’s room.

The lock was already open.

Yu Dong was stunned. He immediately drew his gun, flipped off the safety, and pushed the door open to go inside. Seeing this, Wang Dingbei also drew his gun and followed him in!

Then, they saw two dark figures on the balcony.

"Talk. What have you been doing in the Xiangti Bay Community? Did you rape Zhao Yun and Yang Yi? You’d better confess yourself, or... don’t blame me for shooting."

"Zhao Yun and I are partners. Everything was consensual. As for Yang Yi... I never touched her."

Lin Xiaojun had his hands up, his eyes were dark, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

His eyes darted around, but he couldn’t think of any way he could possibly dodge a bullet at this close range.

He didn’t even dare to make a sudden move, afraid it would startle Zhao Youcai into pulling the trigger.

Besides, he didn’t know Zhao Youcai at all. He had no idea why this madman had suddenly burst in and was interrogating him like this.

"Zhao Youcai! Put the gun down!"

Wang Dingbei aimed directly at Zhao Youcai and yelled sharply.

Yu Dong pressed his hand down on Wang Dingbei’s gun. "Wang, don’t point your weapon at one of our own... Let me handle this."

Wang Dingbei slowly lowered his gun. Yu Dong shouted, "Youcai, come back. Easy now."

Zhao Youcai took several deep breaths, looked at Lin Xiaojun’s docile appearance, and finally put his gun away.

"Don’t worry, I was just trying to bluff him... His nerves are pretty steady."

Seeing all three of them put away their guns, Lin Xiaojun finally relaxed. Trembling slightly, he walked back into the room from the balcony.

’If they had fired just now, I would’ve been shot straight into the sea...’

Seeing that Zhao Youcai hadn’t made a huge mistake, Yu Dong felt relieved. Otherwise, Youcai would have a stain on his record, and the trust they had all worked so hard to build would have been shattered by that one shot.

Yu Dong shot Lin Xiaojun a cold look. "You’d better watch yourself."

Then he led the others out of the room.

Lin Xiaojun sat on his bed, his eyes flickering. He couldn’t figure out why these people were targeting him.

His eyes scanned the room, searching for something...

Meanwhile, after Yu Dong, Wang Dingbei, and Zhao Youcai had been sitting by the door for a while, Lin Mo came out of Yang Yi’s room.

"How did it go?" Yu Dong asked.

"She refuses to admit she was assaulted, but I can tell... she’s lying. She refused to communicate much with me and was extremely hostile."

Zhao Youcai said, "Well, that’s that, then! She lied, which proves Lin Xiaojun did it. We can just put him on trial now, right? There’s nothing wrong with that."

Lin Mo shook his head. "Not necessarily... because there’s another possibility. It might have been consensual, and she’s refusing to admit it to save face and because she wants to get with Zhao Wenjie again."

Hearing this, Yu Dong understood.

"So... she’s refusing to tell us the truth, no matter what, because she’s afraid Zhao Wenjie will find out she’s ’unclean’ and reject her in the future, right?"

"Yes... Whether it was consensual or forced, from her perspective, she’s not going to say anything. Otherwise, not only will Wen Jie not want her, but it would be... very difficult for her to attach herself to any other man. This is her way of protecting her own value, which in turn shields people like Lin Xiaojun. I don’t know what Lin Xiaojun told her, but she completely rejected my attempts at psychological intervention and absolutely refuses to change her story."

Zhao Youcai: "Fucking bitch!"

"So what now? If you ask me... just among us, we all know what kind of person he is. Officer Wang, didn’t you want due process? Then let’s just cook up some crime for him and get the trial over with."
