Chapter 2607: Chapter 2608: If You Can’t Solve the Problem, Solve the Person Who Caused the Problem!

“Even I’m responsible?”

“That’s right, it’s your failure to properly manage. Though you won’t end up in jail, a fine is necessary!”

“If you put it that way, I need to explain properly.” Zhang Youfu said seriously, then turned to the police and said:

“Comrade, as the saying goes, one takes responsibility for one’s own actions. As the abbot of Shangqing Palace, I cannot shirk responsibility for this incident!”

The disciples of Shangqing Palace felt surprised; in their impression, it was the first time their master was so manly.

“My master has already said that he cannot shirk responsibility for this matter. No matter how much money we have to pay, even if we have to sell everything, Shangqing Palace can afford it!” Zhuang Xiaoyun said.

“Shut up!” Zhang Youfu said, “When did I say to sell everything!”

“Hmm hmm? Didn’t you say you couldn’t shirk responsibility?”

“Does ‘cannot shirk responsibility’ mean the same as ‘sell everything’!”

After reprimanding Zhuang Xiaoyun, Zhang Youfu looked at the police and said:

“Comrade, as a law-abiding citizen, we must cooperate with your work, and we cannot shirk responsibility. As the saying goes, one takes responsibility for one’s actions. It’s all his doing; you can go to him, but please don’t fine me.”

Lin Yi: …

You must have died in poverty in a past life.

“Haha…”

Liu Peng laughed, looked at Lin Yi, and arrogantly said:

“Did you see that? Your abbot said it himself, so you might as well stop struggling. But, speaking of which, I kind of pity you. You’ve done so much for Shangqing Palace, and in the end, got sold out. It’s like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror – you’re neither one thing nor the other.”

“Looking at your posture, you won’t rest until I’m thrown in.”

“Don’t put it that way, you committed the crime and need to face legal punishment. Don’t make it sound like I’m framing you, right, officer?”

The latter nodded, saying:

“What you did is too out of line, we’re just following protocol. Don’t think about anything else, come with us.”

“I know what I’ve done, and there’s no room for explanation.” Lin Yi said earnestly:

“But I have parents and a young child; the six-month-old can’t even walk yet. If you take me in, my family will be ruined.”

“If you don’t want to be sentenced, solve it privately amongst yourselves about how to resolve it – that’s your business.”

“Thank you, we’ll try to solve it privately.”

“We don’t want a private settlement. We must hold him accountable and have him sentenced!” Liu Peng shouted, leaving no room for negotiation.

The policeman shrugged, “You see, they don’t agree.”

Lin Yi chuckled, looking at Liu Peng, he said:

“Don’t speak so soon, you’ll agree.”

“I don’t have time for your nonsense!” Liu Peng turned to look at the police, “Officer, quickly take him away.”

“What’s the rush? If you can’t keep calm, you’ll never amount to anything in life.”

Lin Yi said unhurriedly:

“You just want to take me in, right? I have no intention of resisting, but before that, I want to chat with you. Just give me ten minutes, and I’ll cooperate with whatever you want.”

Liu Peng suspiciously studied Lin Yi, sizing him up and down, “Are you sure?”

“Of course, I’m a man of my word.”

“Considering your sincerity, I’ll give you a chance.”

Liu Peng raised his head arrogantly, “Speak, what do you want to discuss?”

“This isn’t the place for talking, let’s go inside and discuss alone.”

“Alone?”

Lin Yi nodded with a smile, “Some things are better discussed privately.”

Liu Peng’s eyes rolled, seemingly realizing something, and pretended to be calm, saying:

“Let’s go then, otherwise, they’ll say I’m unreasonable.”

“After you.”

Lin Yi gestured courteously, and Liu Peng walked in without hesitation, hands behind his back.

But nobody knew what they were going to do; everyone was quite curious.

Soon after, they passed through the mess hall and entered a side wing. Liu Peng casually said:

“Speak now if you have something to say, I might give you a little chance if I’m in a good mood. Make sure to seize it.”

The reason Liu Peng came along was because he guessed what Lin Yi was up to.

To avoid jail, he must be planning to bribe him!

He’d just go along with it, take his money first, and then put him away, killing two birds with one stone.

“Give me a chance?” Lin Yi said:

“Even better, ask the police to leave, they’re quite busy too.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? You haven’t shown anything yet and still want me to give you a chance? Keep dreaming!”

“I understand what you mean.”

Lin Yi drawled, with a faint smile:

“I’ll give you something to show.”

“You’re not that stupid, but don’t try to double-talk me. Show your sincerity thoroughly, don’t make me repeat myself.”

“No problem, my sincerity is definitely enough.”

Bam!

As the words barely left his mouth, Lin Yi solidly punched Liu Peng’s nose!

The latter screamed, blood flowing, and slumped to the ground with a thud!

“You, what are you doing! Attacking me!”

Seeing Lin Yi walking towards him, Liu Peng scrambled back, both hands and feet flailing.

“An old man once told me, if you can’t solve the problem, solve the person causing it. So I apologize.”

…

After about ten minutes, the police waiting outside grew impatient.

“Master, please hurry them up, we have other things to attend to, and can’t keep waiting here.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll go right away.” Li Yongnian hurriedly agreed.

But just as he was about to enter, he heard a creak, and the door was pushed open from the inside.

“This…”

Seeing the bruised and battered Liu Peng, everyone was shocked and hardly recognized him.

“What are you doing, do you know this is against the law!” The police reprimanded.

“Officer, you’ve misunderstood me.” Lin Yi said:

“He fell on his own, has nothing to do with me. Ask him if you don’t believe me.”

Everyone instinctively looked at Liu Peng, seemingly asking for confirmation.

“It- it was me who fell, has nothing to do with him…”

“Are you still pursuing responsibility on me?” Lin Yi asked.

“No, I’m not pursuing it, not at all…”

Liu Peng hurriedly said:

“This matter has nothing to do with you, it’s someone else’s doing.”

Lin Yi chuckled, saying to the police:

“Officer, you’ve heard it too; the issue is his mistake, he shouldn’t be holding me accountable.”

Though beaten up badly, Liu Peng looked at the police with hope in his eyes.

Hoping they’d understand he was lying.

The two police officers, professionally trained, quickly noted the irregularity, and then, with a stern face, said to Lin Yi:

“You know very well what’s going on, today you’re coming with us!”
