Chapter Ninety-Five: Yes, it was me!

After Jiang Yun had exchanged blows with the man for more than twenty minutes, a police car finally appeared in the livestream.

The moment the officers arrived, the man who had been so aggressive just seconds before suddenly changed his tone. “Officer, help me!”

Jiang Yun: ...

What? Huh? Weren’t you just barking at me like a mad dog a moment ago?

Weren’t you about to brag about who your father was?

“First let go of him.”

One of the officers pointed at Jiang Yun’s hand, which was pinning the man down.

From the outside, the man really did look like the victim. After all, Jiang Yun had kept him locked down with a grappling hold and forced him to remain on his knees the entire time.

At the officer’s words, Jiang Yun let go.

The instant the pressure vanished, a trace of viciousness flashed in the man’s eyes. Then he suddenly sprang up, spun on the spot, and lunged at Jiang Yun with—

Thud!

He fell to his knees again.

Police: ???

You’ve gotten addicted to kneeling, haven’t you? You even turned around for it?

Jiang Yun blinked at the bizarre scene before him.

The police did not understand what had happened, but he knew very well.

The man had clearly been kneeling too long and his legs had gone numb. He couldn’t get up all at once.

And yet he still tried to launch a sneak attack...

“Get up first, get up first. What kind of sight is this, kneeling there like that!”

The officers barked at him.

Only then did the man realize the numbness in his knees.

With the officers’ support, he finally managed to stand.

The moment he was up, he began complaining to them at length. “Officer, I don’t even know how I offended this guy. I just got here and he shoved me face-first to the ground. No matter how I begged, he wouldn’t let me go. Good thing you came in time, or who knows what he would’ve done to me!”

Jiang Yun: ...

He glanced at the man’s face and let out a disgusted little sound.

The viewers in the livestream, hearing this, immediately started joking around.

“Come on, little bro. You probably wanted Brother Yun to notice you more than anything.”

“Sure, our Brother Yun is a bit of a strange one, but he really is handsome. Don’t slander him!”

“Brother Yun, he doesn’t want it, but I do. I’m booking a flight to Chengdu right now!”

“Brother Yun, I can too! I can do front or back!”

“Get the cross-dressing men out of the livestream!”

“How is there an Apex player everywhere?”

“This is just how we Apex players are!”

“......”

The police were not about to believe the man’s one-sided story. He turned to Jiang Yun. “Tell me. What exactly happened?”

Jiang Yun pointed at the drone beside him. “I’ve been streaming the whole time. I can just pull up the recording for you.”

The officer nodded. “All right.”

When the man heard that there was a livestream recording, his face instantly darkened with panic. He tried to say a few more things to wriggle out of it, but Jiang Yun was quicker, and the entire sequence of events was soon shown to the officers.

After watching the footage, the officer looked at the man and said, “The criminal law provides that anyone who provokes trouble by committing any of the following acts and thereby disrupts public order shall be sentenced to not more than five years in prison, criminal detention, or restricted freedom: randomly assaulting others in serious circumstances; pursuing, blocking, insulting, or threatening others in serious circumstances; forcibly seizing property, demanding it by violence, or wantonly damaging or occupying public or private property in serious circumstances; or creating a disturbance in a public place and causing serious disorder there.

Do you want to spend a few days inside, or apologize and settle this with this young man?”

At that, the man clearly bristled. “What? Officer, aren’t you getting this wrong? He hit me, and I’m the one who has to go in for a few days?”

“You started it. He was only defending himself! What, you’re not convinced? Then come with us to the station and make a statement. We’ll see whether it’s you or him who ends up locked up!”

The officer’s expression sharpened, and the force of his bearing instantly cowed the man.

“All right, all right. Fine, it’s my bad. I’m sorry, okay?”

With obvious reluctance, the man apologized to Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun waved a hand. “Whatever. I didn’t kneel, so I’ll forgive you.”

The man looked at the officer. “Can I go now?”

The officer waved him off, and the man immediately ran away.

The police had originally intended to leave as well, but seeing that Jiang Yun was livestreaming, they worried about leaving behind the wrong impression. So the officer patiently explained, “As you can see, although this does count as provoking trouble, it isn’t a major matter. At most he’d be detained for a few days and then released. But...”

Before the officer could finish, Jiang Yun continued for him. “But law enforcement is people-centered. A few days inside is about the same as scaring him a little. And he’s old anyway. If he ends up with a record, it won’t be good for his child. The child is innocent, right?”

The officer nodded. “Exactly. In many cases, the child is innocent. For minor disputes like this, if there’s no record involved, we generally handle things in a people-centered way and give them another chance.”

Quite a few viewers in the livestream had been dissatisfied with the police’s handling of things at first, but after hearing the explanation, they understood.

“Yeah, it wasn’t a big deal to begin with. If he can be scared into backing down, that’s enough. If he can’t, then locking him up for a few days won’t help anyway. It’d only leave him with a record and hurt an innocent child.”

“Law enforcement here really does put people first. As long as it isn’t a serious matter, they basically won’t go straight for the record route.”

“I was a little unconvinced at first, but then I remembered that I can’t even sit the civil service exam because my dad committed a crime back then, and suddenly I get it.”

“So, who exactly is his dad?”

“Right! He still hasn’t said who his father is!”

“......”

Jiang Yun also saw the comments in the livestream and suddenly reacted.

“This guy kept shouting about his dad the whole time. Who exactly is his father?”

Hearing that, the doctor beside him opened his mouth, as though he had something to say.

With a sharp eye, Jiang Yun noticed and teased him, “What is it, doctor? Don’t tell me you want to say it’s you?”

He had only meant it as a joke, but to his surprise, the doctor actually nodded. “Yes.”

Jiang Yun: ????

The police who had not yet left: ????

Seeing their bewildered expressions, the doctor sighed and explained, “I divorced his mother a long time ago. When we separated, he was barely two months old. Neither I nor his mother even knew she was pregnant.

Later, his mother found out, but she didn’t tell me. I thought both she and I were alone, so I started another family.

But for his sake, his mother stayed by herself all these years, and that made the little guy think I had abandoned them on purpose, so he’d come looking for trouble from time to time.”

Jiang Yun: ...

“Then why did you ask him what his name was in the beginning...”

His voice carried a faint, resentful edge.

It was only because the doctor had kept asking the man’s name from the start that Jiang Yun had assumed they didn’t know each other at all!

If he had known they were family, he would never have bothered sticking his neck into this!

“Because neither he nor his mother would tell me his name, so I asked.”

Jiang Yun: ...

“And when I called the police just now, why didn’t you stop me? Weren’t you afraid I’d send him in and leave him with a record?”

As he spoke, Jiang Yun pointed at the security cameras inside the clinic. “Your clinic has surveillance, you know. Even if I hadn’t been livestreaming, the footage could still prove he was provoking trouble.”

Hearing this, the doctor sighed again. “I could tell from how fiercely you two were arguing that your temper couldn’t be great either. If you insisted on sending him in, I’d come out afterward and play the good guy. Maybe that could soften the relationship between us.”

Jiang Yun: ...

Fine, fine. So this is how you father and son play it, huh?
