Chapter 1241: Chapter 1240: In One’s Lifetime

Forget it, if we can’t think of it, then that’s it. It’s not like we can know if we just think about it,” Qi Rongfeng said.

”Yeah,” Cloud said. Ever since Jiang Cheng revealed his identity, Cloud had been keeping her head down, lost in her thoughts.

However, none of the others noticed Cloud’s unusual behavior. ”Hey, we’ve made it to the news,” Zhao Shuai said, looking startled as he held his phone up to the others.

Jiang Cheng took Zhao Shuai’s phone and saw that the incident with the Wula Sect at the market had been filmed by someone and uploaded online. In just half an hour, the viewership had reached hundreds of thousands.

”Looks like we’re famous now. Hahaha,” Zhao Shuai laughed.

”Come on, have some sense! Look at how they’ve portrayed us,” Cloud said as she opened her phone and saw the video. The title read, ”Wula Sect Members Beaten? Attackers are Arrogant!”

Yeah, it’s clear the person who posted the video had a preconceived notion,” Qi Rongfeng said, noting that both the video and the title were taken out of context.

Jiang Cheng, of course, also saw that the video started just when Qi Rongfeng and he began confronting the Wula Sect members. The video went out of its way to depict the sect members as innocent victims.

”At least they blurred our faces in the video, so it’s not entirely malicious,” Qi Rongfeng said.

”Yeah, otherwise people would definitely be pointing fingers at us in public. Look at these comments, they make it seem like we’re the bullies here,” Zhao Shuai said.

”Huh? The election results are out too?” Zhao Shuai said.

Zhao Shuai refreshed to the latest news and realized the election results had just been announced.

”Whoa! It’s—it’s—” Zhao Shuai looked shocked, making the others curious if it were some unbelievable outcome.

Jiang Cheng also wanted to see who it was, noticing that Zhao Shuai was intentionally keeping them in suspense.

”It’s Zeng Yu,” Zhao Shuai said, watching as no one took the bait and looked indifferent, urging him to spill the beans.

”Isn’t that an obvious result?” Qi Rongfeng said.

As for Zeng Yu, Jiang Cheng and the others didn’t know much about him, only recalling that he looked decent and young.

”But it seems Zeng Yu has never clarified that he used to be from Kai Ao Country. Do you think he might actually be from our country?” Zhao Shuai said.

”Jiang, regardless of the national issues, what do you plan to do?” Qi Rongfeng asked.

”It’s probably not our choice. After what happened today, someone will likely cause us trouble,” Jiang Cheng said.

Jiang Cheng had a nagging feeling that something was bound to happen and that things wouldn’t be peaceful for a while.

”They will.” Just as Zhao Shuai was about to speak, urgent knocks sounded at the door.

Everyone immediately fell silent. ”Don’t be afraid,” Jiang Cheng seemed to anticipate it, walking calmly to the door and opening it.

After opening the door, two men stood outside, and Jiang Cheng noticed the hotel’s owner looking on nervously from the stairs. One of the men at the door took out a badge from his pocket and showed it to Jiang Cheng. ”Hello, we’re officers. You’re suspected of assaulting others without cause, causing injuries. Please come with us,” one of the officers said.

”What do you mean without cause? Clearly—” Zhao Shuai couldn’t sit still after hearing the officer’s words and rushed forward to explain the truth.

”Enough. We stand tall and unafraid,” Jiang Cheng stopped Zhao Shuai, who was ready to burst. It wouldn’t help to engage in a confrontation with the officers now.

Qi Rongfeng and Cloud didn’t say anything seeing the situation. Jiang Cheng and the others followed the officers.

After being brought to the station, Jiang Cheng hadn’t expected to be taken there in his lifetime and felt a mix of emotions. But when they clashed with the Wula Sect members, Jiang Cheng had prepared for this.

Jiang Cheng saw an officer sitting down and looking at them, including Zhao Shuai.

”Name. Present your ID cards,” the officer in charge said coldly.

Jiang Cheng and the others handed over their ID cards. As expected, the officer barely looked at them and put them aside. Another officer was recording everything.

”Why did you attack the Wula Sect members?” a female officer asked.

”Because they started it,” Jiang Cheng said.

”But the video shows you initiating the attack,” the female officer said with a frown.

......

”That video is deceptive. I can provide you with the full context of what happened,” Jiang Cheng said.

”Go ahead,” the female officer said.

Jiang Cheng provided a full account of the incident, grateful that the officer was willing to hear his side. He had other plans prepared too.

After listening to Jiang Cheng’s account, the officers gathered to discuss.

”Do you have any evidence?” an officer asked.

”How could we? Even if someone saw the full truth, they wouldn’t necessarily testify for us,” Zhao Shuai said angrily.

”But regardless, both of you used physical force,” the officer said to Jiang Cheng and Qi Rongfeng.

”You can arrange for bail. During this period, you can gather evidence for court,” the officer said.

”Bail?” Cloud repeated.

”Yeah, don’t you have family? Have them bail you out,” the officer said.

”You two can leave,” the officer said, pointing at Cloud and Zhao Shuai.

”What should we do, Jiang? Who are you going to ask to bail you out? We have no relatives here,” Zhao Shuai whispered.

”Don’t worry. I’ll call Zhang Tian later,” Jiang Cheng said.

”Zhang Tian? Will he come?” Zhao Shuai asked uncertainly.

”He should,” Jiang Cheng replied.

Jiang Cheng called Zhang Tian, but when Zhang Tian heard what happened, he angrily retorted, ”Why should I come? I’m not going!” and hung up.

”Jiang, is he not coming?” Qi Rongfeng asked.

”I knew it, he definitely wouldn’t come,” Zhao Shuai said, as if his assumption was confirmed.

”He’ll come. You guys go ahead. Shuai, take Cloud out first,” Jiang Cheng said.

Zhao Shuai still didn’t understand why Jiang Cheng believed Zhang Tian would come. ”Then we’ll go look for evidence first.”

”Take care, Jiang,” Cloud looked at Jiang Cheng with reluctance, ”and you too, Rongfeng.”

”Don’t worry, it’s okay; we’ll come out soon to find you,” Jiang Cheng said as he patted Cloud’s head.

After Zhao Shuai and Cloud left, Qi Rongfeng still hesitated and asked,

”Jiang, how are you sure Zhang Tian will definitely come?”

”I think he will come, because without him, we might really not get out,” Jiang Cheng smiled and said.

”Jiang, I actually thought we’d be in big trouble this time, but we weren’t. I really overthought it.”

”Let’s hope not,” Jiang Cheng said.

Just after saying that, Jiang saw the door to the detention room push open. Jiang Cheng saw two men enter, seemingly two of the Wula Sect members.
