Free Web NovelChapter 102: Chapter 102: Going to Jail
"You police can’t produce any substantive evidence to convict yet, and my client is still a minor, so I want to apply for bail pending trial for my client. Contact me when you have the evidence."
Qi Shihan said confidently, then prepared to leave with Huang Dingfeng.
"Xiaofeng, don’t forget about us!"
Just as Huang Dingfeng was about to leave, several youths inside shouted at him loudly.
"Don’t worry, I’ll have Lawyer Qin figure out a way to bail you out tomorrow!"
Huang Dingfeng was the teen who had hit the boy; he assured the youths with a nod, full of confidence.
"You’re just going to let him go?"
Wang Hao asked incredulously.
"What can I do? We don’t have any evidence. Do you?"
The portly officer shrugged helplessly. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"Does a recording count as evidence?"
At that moment, Qi Shihan walked over and handed her phone to the portly officer.
"Brother Hao was afraid of being misunderstood for bullying the young, so he asked me to record the whole incident."
Her words stunned the entire police station into silence for a few seconds.
Just as Qin Xi was about to leave with Huang Dingfeng, he was startled by Qi Shihan’s words.
"Stop right there, you can’t leave now. I now have evidence in my hands."
The portly officer called out excitedly to Qin Xi.
"I’m going to apply for an arrest warrant now. If you insist on taking the suspect away, you’ll be harboring a criminal, and that’s an additional charge!"
"Can’t be that unlucky!"
The youths were dumbstruck upon hearing this, instantly looking at each other in confusion, not sure what to do.
In the past, Huang Dingfeng had always resolved their problems, and no one would leave evidence behind. They always managed to avert disaster, but today, they had never expected Wang Hao to have preemptively recorded evidence.
"May I see your evidence?"
Qin Xi approached the portly officer and said calmly.
"As Huang Dingfeng’s legal representative, I have the right to inspect the authenticity of the evidence, correct?"
Qin Xi scrutinized the phone carefully several times, then let out a cold laugh and handed it back to the portly officer.
"Your video is too blurry, and you can’t even hear any sound. At most, you can see my client slapped the kids a couple of times. As for the alleged extortion, fraud, and other charges, those don’t stand."
"Now, your evidence is incomplete; you probably won’t be able to obtain an arrest warrant."
Qin Xi smiled slightly at the portly officer, then provocatively glared at Wang Hao and Qi Shihan.
"I say you two, if you have no other direct evidence of my client’s guilt, don’t waste our time!"
With a contemptuous snort, Qin Xi once again prepared to leave with Huang Dingfeng.
"Phew, that was a false alarm; you scared me to death. Lucky this girl’s photography skills aren’t great. Without further evidence, let’s see what they can do to us?"
"That’s right, if they’re so capable, let them hit me! Once we’re out of here, we’ll have Lawyer Qin sue him for intentional injury. Let’s see how he struts then!"
The youths, feeling buoyed by Qin Xi’s words, began to jeer again, this time directing their scorn at Wang Hao and Qi Shihan.
The portly officer stood up and slammed his hand down on the table to quiet them, unable to do anything to Qin Xi and his party, he took out his anger on the youths.
"Then what about this piece of evidence?"
While Qin Xi and the others were still self-satisfied, Wang Hao took another phone out of his pocket.
"I said, no matter how many phones you take out, no matter from how many angles you film, you can’t prove anything. Don’t waste your effort."
Qin Xi said disdainfully.
"Exactly, trying to compete with Lawyer Qin? You’re still too green!"
"You just wait, Lawyer Qin will be suing you, and you won’t be smug for much longer,"
Several youths started making a racket again.
"I never said it was a video."
Wang Hao quickly unlocked his phone and turned the volume to the maximum, and from it came the clear conversation between Huang Dingfeng and two kids.
Everyone recognized the voice as Huang Dingfeng’s, and they all quieted down to listen to the recording.
"Now that I’ve got both the recording and the video, and with both lining up, what else do you want to argue?"
The hefty police officer, blood boiling with excitement, grabbed the evidence and headed to the chief’s office to apply for an arrest warrant.
The youths who had been jeering until a moment ago had bowed their heads in silence since the recording began playing.
Qin Xi’s face turned even darker; he’d promised Huang Dingfeng’s mother to safely bring Huang Dingfeng back to her.
He had not expected things to unfold this way.
Now he didn’t know how he’d report back, but he credited all of this to Wang Hao, and so he gave Wang Hao a furious glare.
Before long, the hefty officer had procured the arrest warrant and, presenting it to Qin Xi, he said,
"Take a good look, this is the arrest warrant! Now, none of the suspects may leave. Take them all down immediately, did you hear me!"
The hefty officer’s voice boomed, echoing throughout the police station.
After Huang Dingfeng and the group of youths were taken away, the officer slammed the arrest warrant on the table and let out a hearty laugh.
"That’s a relief!"
Wang Hao sat in the chair, smiling smugly at Qin Xi’s look of resentment.
Now that the arrest warrant had been issued, no amount of hate from Qin Xi would make a difference.
He only had to call Huang Dingfeng’s mother to report the situation here.
"Lawyer Qin, you have to find a way to get me out of here, I don’t want to go to jail, save me, please save me!"
Huang Dingfeng, realizing Qin Xi was about to leave, started to panic, clinging to his clothes and tearfully begging Qin Xi to take him away.
Seeing this scene, although Wang Hao felt a twinge of sympathy for Huang Dingfeng—still just a kid—he remembered the little boy and girl were also just kids.
It was time for Huang Dingfeng to learn a lesson, lest he commit even worse acts in the future.
"Little Feng!"
Just then, a middle-aged woman with red eyes rushed in and embraced Huang Dingfeng.
"Can it really be such a coincidence?"
Wang Hao was stunned to see the woman, his eyes practically popping out of his skull. He had never imagined Huang Dingfeng could be Chen Hongying’s son.
But Wang Hao was also curious. Just a moment ago, Huang Dingfeng had been desperately grabbing Qin Xi to rescue him, but when Chen Hongying appeared, Huang Dingfeng suddenly became cold.
He pushed Chen Hongying away and walked into the detention room with the police of his own accord.
It seemed there might be a significant rift between mother and son.
Wang Hao had also wondered how Chen Hongying could easily come up with a deposit of one and a half million yuan after years in business; her family must be wealthy, so Huang Dingfeng should be a rich second-generation.
He had been puzzled about how a rich second-generation could be short of money. Seeing the behavior of mother and son, Wang Hao guessed the reason.
Chen Hongying was also shocked to see Wang Hao at the police station, wondering how she could run into him wherever she went.
But when Qin Xi explained the situation to her, she looked at Wang Hao with hostility.
Wang Hao chuckled inwardly, knowing he must have completely offended Chen Hongying this time.
Last time over the lingzhi sale, the buyer wanted to bypass Chen Hongying and deal directly with Wang Hao, which had left her feeling uncomfortable. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Today, Wang Hao personally had Chen Hongying’s darling son put into the detention room, and she surely hated Wang Hao with a passion now.
Chen Hongying, furious, approached Wang Hao and yelled at him,
"Wang Hao, did I ever wrong you? Why are you doing this to me?"
