I Sent You to Take the College Entrance Exam, and You Ended Up Solving a Murder Case?! - Chapter 32

“Who called the police? What happened?”

At the same time, a middle-aged man ran in, panting. He was Song Bincheng’s father, Song Yubao.

He spotted his son kneeling in the corner and immediately flew into a rage, rushing over to beat him mercilessly.

“You little bastard! I’ll teach you to hang out with these thugs! I’ll beat you to death!”

“Stop hitting! Stop hitting!”

Chen Dachuan quickly stepped forward and grabbed him.

The lead officer was also at his wit’s end seeing the chaotic scene.

Just as he was about to speak to maintain order, his gaze fell on Chen Mo.

After seeing Chen Mo’s face clearly, he suddenly stood at attention.

“Captain Chen… Captain Chen?!”

The leading officer, surnamed Wang, was a veteran policeman at the town’s police station. He quickly walked to Chen Mo’s side, lowered his voice, and spoke respectfully.

“Captain Chen, what brings you back?”

“Going back to my hometown to visit relatives,” Chen Mo said succinctly.

He gestured for Officer Wang to follow him to the police car, away from the sight of the diners in the restaurant.

“Let me briefly explain the situation.”

Chen Mo pointed to the shop and said, “That guy called Brother Biao harassed my sister. I gave him a verbal warning, but he wouldn’t listen and even tried to hit me.”

“I identified myself as a police officer, but instead of calming down, he rushed at me with a knife, intending to attack me.”

Assaulting a police officer!

Officer Wang’s heart skipped a beat; this was a serious matter.

“The nature of the crime is extremely heinous, the evidence is conclusive, and there are both witnesses and physical evidence.”

“Handle it as it should be handled, follow the procedures, understand?”

“Understood! Understood!” Officer Wang nodded repeatedly.

He knew that Chen Mo was setting the tone.

Severe punishment.

Just then, Song Yubao scrambled over and, with a “plop,” knelt directly in front of Chen Mo.

“Captain Chen! Young Master Chen! Please, have mercy on my little bastard!”

Song Yubao cried with snot and tears streaming down his face, “He’s just an ignorant child, led astray by those people! Please!”

Chen Mo glanced at him but didn’t tell him to get up.

The more respect you give this kind of person, the more they’ll take advantage of you.

“Song Bincheng, right?” Chen Mo asked casually.

“Yes, yes, yes!”

“He was the first to kneel down and beg for mercy, which shows he has some sense of propriety. He also took the initiative to dissuade the main culprit, so he can be considered an accomplice.”

Chen Mo’s tone softened somewhat, “The main culprit assaulted a police officer, which is an aggravating circumstance. Your son was unaware of the situation, so he can be treated leniently.”

“Go to the police station to give a statement and sign something, then you can take him home.”

Song Yubao was stunned, then overjoyed, and kowtowed frantically to Chen Mo.

“Thank you, Captain Chen! Thank you, Captain Chen! I’ll definitely break his legs when I get back and never let him associate with those thugs again!”

Chen Mo waved his hand, signaling Officer Wang to take the person away.

The four people were escorted into a police car by two police officers and one auxiliary police officer.

The sirens blared again, then quickly disappeared at the end of the street.

Only then did the diners in the breakfast shop dare to start talking loudly.

“My goodness, Mowa from the Da Chuan family has become so successful! He’s a captain now!”

“Didn’t you see that aura? The moment he pulled out his gun, Brother Biao’s gang was scared out of their wits!”

“Well handled! They dealt with the thugs while also saving face for the Song family. That’s skillful!”

“Absolutely! What do you call that? It’s called using both kindness and severity!”

Hearing the villagers’ praise, Chen Dachuan and Shi Xiaoman straightened their backs considerably, their faces beaming with pride.

“Alright, alright, everyone disperse. This meal is on me!” Chen Dachuan greeted them with a radiant smile.

“That won’t do!”

“Da Chuan, you’re too kind!”

The diners smiled and declined, but instead scanned the code to pay. Before leaving, they gave Chen Mo a thumbs up.

Soon, the store returned to calm.

Chen Mo walked back into the store, looked at the somewhat messy floor, and said to Chen Yan and Chen Zhe, who were still in a daze.

“What are you standing there for? Help pack your things, we’re going home.”

“oh oh!”

The brother and sister snapped out of their daze and immediately began to quickly clear the dishes.

With the family working together, they quickly cleaned the shop up and kept it spotless.

After locking the shop door, Chen Dachuan habitually reached for his old tricycle.

Chen Mo stopped him.

“Dad, don’t ride that anymore, I drove back.”

As he spoke, he pressed the car key.

Not far away, a black BMW 5 Series flashed its headlights twice.

“Brother, you bought a car?!” Chen Zhe’s eyes widened in surprise.

Those sleek lines, that logo—it’s a BMW!

“It’s provided by the unit; it makes handling cases easier,” Chen Mo explained casually.

The family walked to the car, and Chen Dachuan and Shi Xiaoman circled the car twice, marveling at it.

“This car… must have cost a lot of money, right?” Shi Xiaoman asked cautiously.

“It’s alright, it’ll probably cost around 700,000 to 800,000 yuan to get it done,” Chen Mo said casually.

Seven or eight hundred thousand!

Mr. and Mrs. Chen gasped in shock.

They could run a breakfast shop their whole lives, and even if they didn’t eat or drink, they still wouldn’t earn this much money.

Chen Yan and Chen Zhe were also stunned. They knew their older brother was a policeman, but they didn’t expect him to be so “rich”.

“Get in the car.” Chen Mo opened the car door.

The family sat in the spacious and comfortable car, enjoying the soft leather seats and the faint fragrance inside, but they were all a little reserved.

The car drove smoothly towards home.

When they arrived at the yard in front of his house, Chen Mo parked the car and opened the trunk.

The overflowing gift boxes instantly filled everyone’s view.

“Dad, this is for you.” Chen Mo took out two cartons of specially supplied Zhonghua cigarettes and two bottles of Maotai liquor.

Chen Dachuan’s eyes lit up; he usually wouldn’t buy this.

“Mom, this is for you, La Mer skincare products. I heard from a colleague that this brand is good.”

Looking at the exquisite packaging, Shi Xiaoman muttered “what a waste of money,” but she couldn’t hide the smile on her face.

“Ah Zhe, this is for you.” Chen Mo handed over a square box.

Chen Zhe took it and saw that it was the latest model, the Apple 15 Pro Max.

“Brother! This is too valuable!”

“You got first place in the whole department, this is a reward for you.” Chen Mo patted him on the shoulder, “Keep up the good work in the future.”

Chen Zhe was so excited that his face turned red.

After receiving the gifts, Chen Yan was only holding a bag of potato chips. She looked left and right, pouted, and looked at Chen Mo with a pitiful expression.

“Brother, where’s mine?”

“Don’t you have potato chips?” Chen Mo teased her on purpose.

“Hmph! I knew it, I was picked up from the trash can!” Chen Yan stomped her foot playfully.

“My older brother only loves my younger brother, he doesn’t love me anymore!”

The whole family burst into laughter.

“Alright, alright, I’m not teasing you anymore.”

Chen Mo smiled and took out an exquisite velvet jewelry box from an inconspicuous corner.

He opened the box.

Inside, a gleaming gold necklace and a pair of lustrous pearl earrings lay quietly.

Chen Yan’s eyes lit up instantly, as if stars were twinkling within them.

“Wow!”

“Why did you buy her such an expensive thing! She’s still a student!” Shi Xiaoman started nagging again.

“It’s not expensive.” Chen Mo handed the jewelry box to Chen Yan.

“Our Xiaoyan is a big girl now. It’s her nature to love beauty, so it’s time for her to dress up.”

“Thank you, brother! You’re the best!”

Chen Yan cheered and eagerly took out the necklace, asking Chen Mo to put it on for her.

The family gathered together, and the yard was filled with laughter.

At noon, Shi Xiaoman and Chen Dachuan were busy in the kitchen, preparing a sumptuous lunch.

Chicken, duck, fish, and meat filled the stove.

Chen Zhe and Chen Yan were on the sofa in the living room, watching TV and talking amongst themselves.

“It’s over, it’s over, we’ve really become an adopted family now.” Chen Zhe sighed.

“That’s right,” Chen Yan said, touching the necklace around her neck and showing it off proudly.

“Look at what my brother bought for me, and then look at you, don’t you look like an adopted son?”

“How dare you say that to me?”

The two were joking around when Shi Xiaoman burst out laughing and scolding them with a spatula.

“You two ungrateful little brats! I’ve spoiled you rotten for so long!”

Chen Mo leaned against the kitchen door, watching all this with a warm smile on his face.

He walked over and naturally took the kitchen knife from Chen Dachuan’s hand. “Dad, let me do it.”

This lunch was especially delicious.
