"Yes, yes."
As soon as Ma Qijun saw Yin Shiqing arrive, it was as if he saw a guiding light.
Being quick to adapt, he immediately changed his stance.
With Ma Qijun’s agreement, a few others also felt that Yin’s words made sense and chimed in, freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"Yes, Officer Wang, let’s show some understanding. With Mr. Rong’s status, if Young Master Rong really broke the law, Mr. Rong would be the first not to spare him."
"Just cut us here some slack. Even if you bring Young Master Rong in tomorrow at Rong Mansion, it’s fine, just not today, alright?"
Rong Jing frowned deeply, his heart truly suspended.
More than anyone, he was aware that Wu Rong was a warning from the past.
"Officer Wang, rest assured, I, Rong Jing, will take responsibility if I broke the law. But today is my father’s birthday; as he ages, it becomes more difficult. Rest assured, I won’t run, just—"
"Mr. Rong, Mr. Rong and Yin, it’s not that we lack compassion. We also have to follow rules and procedures."
Upon hearing Wang Hao’s words, Yin Shiqing’s face instantly turned ashen, and his gaze at Wang Hao immediately became dangerous.
Those standing by, witnessing Yin Shiqing’s expression, felt a sudden wave of fear.
"Officer Wang, everyone understands that holding a position means performing its duties, but it’s people who execute, not law enforcement machines. The difference between humans and machines is that humans understand flexibility."
Yin Shiqing felt he had said enough, Wang Hao couldn’t possibly—
"Yin, our chief said during the inauguration that the law doesn’t permit feelings."
"..."
"Today, even if it’s Mr. Rong’s birthday or Mr. Rong Jing’s wedding, if he broke the law and there’s an arrest warrant, we must take him away. If everyone, as Yin suggests, believes that the law shouldn’t be enforced on festive days, to avoid shortening the elder’s life or dampening everyone’s spirits..."
"Then don’t we policemen have to investigate and avoid the birthdays of wrongdoers and their families?"
"Wouldn’t we, as police, be resting for most of the year?"
Wang Hao’s voice was deep, showing no sign of politeness despite Yin Shiqing’s higher rank.
The unyielding impartiality in law enforcement was vividly displayed in his actions.
"Take him away!" fгeewebnovёl.com
With Wang Hao’s order, the sound of handcuffs suddenly echoed, strikingly incongruous within the banquet hall, startling everyone.
Yin Shiqing rarely faced such setbacks, especially in front of so many notable figures, making his title of "Yin" seem hollow.
His fists clenched instantly,
"Officer Wang, does my reputation mean nothing to you?"
Wang Hao glanced at Yin Shiqing,
"Yin, our chief said even if the highest power in the country stands here, if they break the law, they will be arrested and brought to justice as well."
After these words, the sound of sharp intakes was heard throughout the room.
Yin Shiqing’s lip curled into a sudden smile,
"Your chief... It seems the Public Security Bureau nowadays—"
"Yin, I’m just a small law enforcement officer. Someone like you, a high-ranking official, is beyond my means to offend. I, Wang Hao, can offer you a kind reminder, please don’t say that we who act according to justice do not show you any respect..."
Yin Shiqing squinted.
Wang Hao stepped lightly forward,
"Our chief has recently personally taken charge and led the investigation into cases, besides Wu Rong and Rong Jing, there’s also the case involving your son Yin Bowen in Su Jifang’s death case..."
"..."
Suddenly, a chill ran down Yin Shiqing’s spine.
Standing right behind Yin Shiqing, Shi Haiyan and Yin Bowen heard Wang Hao’s voice, not loud, but enough to let everyone in the room clearly hear.
Yin Bowen’s heart tightened instantly.
He suddenly cursed inwardly, these damned Bai Family people...
Yin Shiqing’s temples throbbed with visible veins.
Wang Hao didn’t wait for any response from Yin Shiqing, he glanced at Rong Jing, who was already handcuffed, and then said to Rong Si,
"Mr. Rong, I apologize. Sorry for the interruption. Please continue."
Wang Hao finished speaking, leading his people out.
The banquet hall doors opened and closed, leaving an almost deathly silence inside, and soon someone, using the excuse of family matters, made an early exit.
One by one, guests said the most formal parting words to console Mr. Rong, yet steadily made their way out, fearing that staying longer would bring trouble upon themselves.
With both Wu Rong and Rong Si arrested, it seemed next might be... Yin Shiqing?
