Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lin Haisheng replied, “The police informed us. Also, your classmates couldn’t get in touch with you, so they gave us a call.”
Then, he changed the topic and began to ask the question that he was most concerned about.
“Son, why on earth did you fight with someone?”
Lin Bai answered casually, “Because if we don’t stop that person, he will kill many people.”
Lin Haisheng was stunned. “What happened?”
Lin Bai briefly described the situation at that time.
After Lin Haisheng heard it, he said indignantly, “Then you were acting heroically! It’s fine if they don’t praise you, but why are they detaining you!”
Mrs. Lin was equally indignant.
“There’s no reason to be detained for acting heroically! No, we have to get an explanation for this!”
Lin Bai said, “Dad, Mom, there’s no need…”
Mrs. Lin interrupted him angrily before he could speak, “Why is there no need? If bravery is said to be a fight, how can there be justice!”
“Son, don’t be afraid. Your Dad and I will go and get an explanation for you now!”
Lin Bai wanted to persuade him again, but the old couple had already gone out to look for the relevant person-in-charge furiously.
There was no other way. Since he couldn’t stop them, Lin Bai could only smile helplessly and let them be.
Luo Yang suddenly said from the side, “Boss, I think you’ve changed.”
“Have I?” Lin Bai asked.
“Of course!”
Luo Yang shouted exaggeratedly, “You weren’t this calm and softspoken in the past! You’ve clearly been wronged, yet you still have an indifferent attitude. I even suspect that you’ve been possessed by someone!”
Lin Bai smiled but didn’t say anything.
He thought that perhaps the fear of losing a loved one was too strong, so as long as his father’s life was saved, everything else was not worth caring about.
Even if he was wronged and detained now, he didn’t regret anything he had done.
Luo Yang said gloomily, “Boss, I really don’t understand you.”
At the same time, in school.
Yu Jinmo mustered up his courage again and dialed Lin Haisheng’s phone number.
It only rang once before the other party hung up.
She did not know that Lin Haisheng and his wife were arguing with the police on the case, so they had no time to answer her calls.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not get any information about Lin Bai. This filled Yu Jinmo’s heart with fear and anxiety.
In addition to the fact that girls were born with wild imaginations, all kinds of terrifying ideas kept spinning in Yu Jinmo’s mind.
Finally, this fear overwhelmed all of her rationality. She ignored the fact that it was already late at night and directly called the most resourceful person she knew.
Her god-grandfather, Ye Weijun.
Old Master Ye was woken up by the phone in his sleep and was immediately enraged.
However, when he saw the name displayed on the phone screen clearly, the anger in his heart instantly dissipated.
“Jinmo, what happened?”
Old Master Ye knew that this god-granddaughter of his was a very well-bred and obedient girl. If it wasn’t for an emergency, she would never have been so rash to wake him up in the middle of the night.
“Grandpa, Lin Bai has gone missing…”
Even though Yu Jinmo tried his best to control his emotions, his trembling voice betrayed her.
When Old Master Ye heard the sobbing voice coming from the phone, his heart suddenly tensed up.
“Girl, don’t worry, speak slowly. I’m here, don’t be afraid.”
Listening to Old Master Ye’s comforting words, Yu Jinmo’s emotions finally eased up a little.
She briefly recounted the matter and specifically emphasized that Lin Bai’s parents couldn’t be contacted either.
“The situation is too abnormal. I’m really worried that something might happen to Lin Bai. Grandpa, can you please help me investigate?”
Yu Jinmo pleaded.
Old Master Ye was slightly displeased.
“What do you mean by please’? Why are you being so formal with me? Wait, I’ll go get someone to help you investigate!”
Old Master Ye hung up the phone and called the younger generation to investigate Lin Bai’s whereabouts overnight.
That night, no one in the Ye family slept.
A few hours later, with the first ray of sunlight in the morning, the investigation finally came to a conclusion.
“What? An act of heroism was labeled as a fight?! Ridiculous!”
Old Master Ye knocked his cane loudly.
The juniors standing in front of him did not even dare to breathe loudly.
It had been many years since the old man had been so angry. They were all very afraid.
“Who is the director of the Public Security Department in S province now? Call him. I have to talk to him properly!”
“His subordinates can’t even differentiate between good and bad. How did he become the director of the Public Security Department? !”
Hearing this, the younger generation of the Ye family were all shocked.
They never expected that the old man would be so angry for an outsider. He even planned to personally interrogate the head of the Public Security Department in s province.
While they were shocked, they were also very curious. who was that guy called Lin Bai? Why did the old man take him so seriously?
Just as they were thinking, they heard Old Master Ye knock his cane on the ground and say, “What are you still standing there for? Make the call!”
The juniors reacted and quickly tried to persuade the old man.
“Grandpa, please calm down. This is just a misunderstanding. It’s not worth making such a big fuss over it…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted.
“Misunderstanding? He’s already been detained. How can it be called a misunderstanding?! Cut the crap. Quickly call the Public Security Department and ask them to release him!”
Seeing that Old Master Ye was really angry, the juniors did not dare to say anything more. They could only obediently dial the number and pass it over.
Old Master Ye roared at the phone, scolding the person on the other end until he did not even have the chance to open his mouth.
“Release him immediately!”
Old Master Ye used an unquestionable command tone to shout out these words, and then directly hung up the phone.
A few minutes later.
The director of the S City Public Security Bureau received a call from his superior. He was completely stunned by the other party’s scolding.
Other than promising to release Lin Bai immediately, there was only one thought in the director’s mind — ‘What is the background of that brat Lin Bai?’
He had only been detained for one night, the provincial public security department had already been alerted. What the hell was going on?!
Even though he was suspicious, the provincial leaders had already spoken in person. Naturally, he did not dare to delay and immediately asked the Bureau to release him.
At the same time, he also scolded the junior police officer who handled the case yesterday.
Lin Bai’s parents were not idle that night either. They first tried to argue with reason, asking the police officer in charge of handling the case to admit that Lin Bai and Luo Yang’s actions were righteous and courageous, as opposed to fighting.
However, the police officers in charge of the case were very adamant. No matter what they said, they were determined to charge them for affray and would not change the nature of the matter regardless of what they said.
Lin Bai’s father was exasperated but there was nothing he could do.
They were all ordinary office workers with limited social connections. Even if they felt that it was unfair, they had no way to complain.
Just as they were angry and desperate, the police officer in charge of the case answered a phone call, and his attitude immediately changed drastically.
Not only did he admit that he had made a mistake in his work, misjudged the nature of Lin Bai’s and Luo Yang’s actions, but he even took the initiative to apologize to them.
