“We didn’t understand the situation before, but now that we do, we realize we were wrong,” the two interrogators answered.
“Oh!
I see,” Lin Yifan said, suddenly enlightened.
“However, I must admit your interrogation thods took
by surprise.
Is everyone treated to your ‘sticks’ when you don’t understand the situation?”
“How could that be?
We were just joking with you, please don’t take it seriously,” the two interrogators quickly explained.
Coercive interrogation was, after all, Director Zheng’s idea, so they couldn’t confess the truth no matter what unless they wanted to lose their jobs.
“Is that so?
Then your act was indeed too realistic; it almost frightened ,” Lin Yifan repeatedly remarked, oozing sarcasm.
He didn’t believe the nonsense from these two interrogators; such interrogation thods must have been in place for a long ti, likely established by the hypocritical Director Zheng himself.
Thinking of the people who couldn’t wash away their injustices and reclaim their rights, Lin Yifan felt indignant and wanted to teach these bastards a lesson; but without solid evidence, it was difficult to take action.
Now, it was up to the approaching prosecutors and police to handle these irresponsible and rule-breaking individuals.
“Mr.
Lin, we truly apologize for frightening you, we accept it’s our fault, and we are willing to accept your punishnt,” the two interrogators quickly apologized, hoping not to escalate the situation.
“Are you sure you’re willing to accept my punishnt?” Lin Yifan asked curiously.
“Yes!” the two interrogators replied in unison, very resolute.
“Well then, my punishnt is simple.
It is to fulfill the promise you made when you lost the bet,” Lin Yifan answered.
The two interrogators exchanged awkward glances, unsure of what to do.
Eating * that sort of thing, they would never do; but if they didn’t do it, they didn’t know how to explain to Lin Yifan either, making it very difficult.
“Mr.
Lin, we beg your forgiveness, we simply can’t comply with this punishnt.
Please suggest another,” the two interrogators responded.
“I want nothing but this punishnt, nothing else,” Lin Yifan said.
“Then we have no choice but to resign,” the two interrogators, pushed into a corner,
felt they couldn’t justify themselves to their superiors or reconcile with their own consciences, so they chose to resign, now they wouldn’t have to explain themselves to anyone above them.
Seeing the two interrogators driven to this point, Lin Yifan felt it was a bit too much; they shouldn’t resign, better to let the disciplinary committee handle them.
So he explained with a laugh, “Look at you, all tensed up, what a fright you’ve beco?
I was just joking with you!
You haven’t done anything wrong, I wasn’t scared by you at all; so let’s all just step back and there will be room enough for us all.”
The two interrogators were uncertain about Lin Yifan’s intentions, doubting whether he truly believed their earlier actions were just a joke.
Surely not!
Most people could tell it was real, and being smart, how could he not see?
They suspected there might be a trap.
On the other hand, Director Zheng also thought the sa.
Lin Yifan’s behavior was unusual, not like the normal reaction of soone just distinguished.
If it were him, he would have smacked the two interrogators, not let them off so easily.
“It seems I need to consult Chief He about this,” Director Zheng thought to himself.
anwhile, after pondering for a while, the two interrogators started to feel grateful.
Although they didn’t understand Lin Yifan’s intentions, since he said he would let them go, they still owed him gratitude.
“Thank you, Mr.
Lin, for your generosity.
We will definitely reflect and reform,” they said.
“No need to be polite.
Recognizing and correcting your mistakes is a virtue!” Lin Yifan smiled continuously, appearing very ordinary, but in fact, he had an ulterior motive behind his smile.
Chief Zheng pondered and felt it was not very safe, so he also apologized to Lin Yifan: “Mr.
Lin, I would like to apologize and admit my mistake as well.
I hope you can be magnanimous and forgive my earlier rashness.”
“It’s no problem, we’re all on the sa side.
I hope Chief Zheng can be more accommodating and understanding in the future!” Lin Yifan said with a beaming smile.
“Absolutely!
As long as Mr.
Lin does not bla Zheng, I will definitely be more accommodating and understanding,” Chief Zheng responded.
“Does this an I can deal with Zheng Hui as I see fit?” Lin Yifan asked curiously.
Saying all this, he rely wanted to obtain that “privilege.”
Chief Zheng hesitated, torn between his nephew and himself.
Who should he choose?
However, it took him less than three seconds to co up with an answer.
People inevitably look out for their own interests.
Zheng Hui, this good-for-nothing, was always causing him trouble.
Now, it was ti to get rid of this burden.
So, he answered, “Yes, you can handle it however you like.”
“It seems Chief Zheng is soone who knows the score.
I will rember everything you’ve done for ,” Lin Yifan said with a aningful implication, showing goodwill.
“That’s great!
That’s great!”
With these words, Chief Zheng’s anxious heart could finally relax a little.
After finishing the discussion, Lin Yifan left the interrogation room whistling cheerfully and with great elation, feeling extrely pleased with himself.
Watching this scene, Chief Zheng and the two interrogators had gloomy faces, unable to utter a word for a long ti.
Everything they had done just now went against their will, and involved them hitting their own faces, so they were definitely not happy.
After their indignation passed, the two interrogators asked curiously, “Chief, who exactly is this person, and why are you so afraid of him?”
“I don’t know his background either.
All I know is that the head of Lishan City’s Public Security Bureau just chewed
out.
So, we really can’t afford to ss with this man,” Chief Zheng answered with a terrified look.
Thinking back to the phone call he had received, he was still trembling; he had never seen Director He so anxious and angry before.
At that mont, he was genuinely afraid that Director He would take drastic asures against him.
Hearing that the Director himself had taken action, the two interrogators were extrely shocked.
A person who could disturb the Director must hold a higher position than him!
Holding a higher position than the Director, they could count on their fingers who it might be.
Therefore, they were very grateful that they hadn’t gone through with the beating, or else they wouldn’t even know how they had died.
“How could Zheng Hui have ssed with such a person?
Just by looking at him, you can tell he’s not soone to be trifled with.
I don’t know what he was thinking,” the two interrogators remarked incredulously.
“I don’t know either.
If there’s anyone to bla, it’s
for spoiling him, thinking that as long as I was around, no one in Qingshi Town could touch him,” Chief Zheng sighed.
He had always indulged Zheng Hui’s unlawful behaviors, and now he had finally faced the consequences.
Now, he could only hope that Lin Yifan would truly be magnanimous and let him off the hook; beyond that, he had no other ambitions.
However, he felt this hope was very slim.
From the mont Lin Yifan had righteously proclaid that he would seek justice for the people, he realized that Lin Yifan was not the sa kind of person as him; hence, Lin Yifan’s words might have just been perfunctory, to lower his guard.
