The bald thief helplessly put the handcuffs on himself.
Then he took out some ecstasy pills from his body.
Lin Chuan smiled, stood up, and walked in front of Er Jin.
He patted his shoulder and said, "Er Jin, I'm taking this person away!"
"But you really need to tidy up the rental company!"
"It's a mixed bag of people; you never know who you'll run into. Don't let something big happen one day, or I'll have to come and catch you myself!"
"Don't think I don't know about the little things you're up to!"
After Lin Chuan finished speaking, he led the bald thief out.
Gu Yi Ran hurriedly followed, leaving the swimming pool.
It wasn't until everyone had disappeared that the thin monkey walked over.
He looked furious and said, "Bro, are we just going to swallow this?"
"He's already riding on our necks!"
"In front of us, he took the bald thief away. Who's going to dare to work in the future?"
"If he comes by every few days to take someone away, isn't that just boosting his performance?"
"Why don't I just find a few brothers and deal with him..."
Before he could finish, the thin monkey made a gesture across his throat.
Er Jin glanced back at him and said, "I advise you not to have such thoughts!"
"I know exactly what kind of person he is!"
"If he didn't have evidence, he definitely wouldn't come to catch people!"
"Besides, he's a beast, a beast that wouldn't blink even if he killed someone. If you provoke him, you'll just be asking for trouble. And do you think the police will just let you do as you please?"
"In our line of work, we have to be cautious everywhere. Unless absolutely necessary, we must never go against the police; it won't do us any good!"
"Everything must be based on profit!"
After Er Jin finished speaking, the thin monkey nodded.
He felt very unwilling and had a lot of resentment towards Lin Chuan.
However, he couldn't understand why Er Jin was so afraid of him.
Isn't he just a police officer? Just a police officer who can fight?
At worst, just kill him and be done with it.
But just now, he saw fear in Er Jin's eyes.
It was a kind of extreme fear of something.
The thin monkey couldn't understand, was Lin Chuan really that terrifying?
Could he scare Er Jin, who feared nothing on the streets, into such a state?
In the thin monkey's heart, a thought began to form silently.
If Er Jin dared not do it, then let him do it.
As long as he dealt with Lin Chuan, Er Ge could return to the way he used to be.
He wouldn't have to run around trying to please Lin Chuan with the brothers.
If this continued, they might as well give up the rental company and stop doing those side jobs.
They might as well take the brothers and turn themselves in, collectively going to prison.
…
In the car, Gu Yi Ran, sitting in the passenger seat, turned to look at Lin Chuan.
"If you have something to say, just say it directly. Do I have answers or flowers on my face?"
Lin Chuan, who was driving, didn't even turn around.
Gu Yi Ran awkwardly smiled and pushed up his glasses to cover his embarrassment.
"It's nothing, I just can't figure it out!"
"How do you know that Er Jin? Why is he so afraid of you?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan smiled.
"Er Jin? Haven't you looked into his background?"
"When he was young, he wasn't hanging around here in Ha Lan; he was in Bei Ning!"
"I still remember that time; he was just a small-time thug, running a wholesale business in the Bei Ning clothing market with a few little brothers!"
"They controlled a few stalls and did some wholesale clothing business!"
"Business was tough back then, especially with the wave of layoffs in the Northeast; many people lost their jobs!"
"What could they do? They did whatever made money!"
"Many people also saw the potential in clothing wholesale, but the waters were too deep, and there were many tricks!"
"Right, and quite a few people went to Yue Dong to source goods!"
"I digress, anyway, it was during that time that I had just regained my identity and was working at the city bureau!"
"Someone reported a brawl at the wholesale market, so we went to investigate!"
"When we got there, we found that the scale of the brawl was not small; there were dozens of people. Even with our presence, we couldn't stop them..."
Just as Lin Chuan was saying this, Gu Yi Ran chuckled and pushed up his glasses: "So you used violence to take them all down?"
"Huh? Hahaha... your Northeast dialect is quite good now!"
"That's right, I did take them all down. At that time, Er Jin was young and impulsive, and so was I. If he didn't submit to me, then I would just take him down!"
"In the end, I seriously injured him, and I also got punished!"
"Later on, I handled several brawls, and the results were always the same. Every time I went, Er Jin would end up in the hospital for a few days, until one time he got stabbed, resulting in a fatal injury, and when I caught him, I beat him half to death!"
"I still clearly remember the day he was discharged; he was going to be transferred to the detention center!"
"Before getting on the police car, he told me one thing... he said, 'Brother Chuan, I give up. Whether I can come back alive this time is another matter. I have an old mother at home; I’m afraid I can’t take care of her!'"
"So he asked me if I could help look after her!"
When Lin Chuan reached this point, he paused and didn't continue.
Gu Yi Ran also fell into silence.
After a long time, Lin Chuan continued, "He was sentenced to eight years, and his mother passed away in the third year after he went in. I handled all the funeral arrangements!"
"After the arrangements were done, I went to the prison to see him and told him about it!"
"That day, Er Jin cried like a child, repeating over and over... 'I don't have a mom anymore!'"
"Actually, that really impacted me a lot. After that, he behaved well in prison. Over the eight years, he had his sentence reduced intermittently, and in the end, he only served five years before coming out!"
"I thought this kid could turn over a new leaf, but who would have thought he ended up in Ha Lan!"
"And mixed with those people, really like trying to lift mud off a wall; I wanted to slap him for his mother!"
After Lin Chuan finished speaking, Gu Yi Ran looked at him with a smile: "So every time you see him, aren't you just slapping him for his mother?"
"Huh? That's true, hahaha..."
