Chapter 841: A Display of Authority
Although Liou Qingcheng hadn’t been with Lin Tian these days, she could still see many topics about him online and occasionally made phone calls.
But Lin Tian didn’t tell her about him going to prison. She found out from the internet.
Many others saw the news at the same time, and they all called Bai Shishi immediately, wanting to know the details.
Bai Shishi had no choice but to explain repeatedly that it was mostly the same as what the news reported.
She wasn’t being dismissive; it’s just that the journalists had already written all they could.
Bai Shishi, Wu Yong, the Xu Family, the Liou Family, and Xu Ning’an all mobilized their available resources, trying to get Lin Tian out.
Tonight, many officials’ private phones in Kanyue City were called. They were interested in helping because, be it for personal connections or benefits, they could all gain something from Bai Shishi and the others.
Unfortunately, it seemed like all the officials had agreed to only watch from the sidelines. Not causing trouble was already considered helping.
This was bad news for Bai Shishi and the others! If someone from above wasn’t suppressing it, there’s no way so many connections would fail to find a solution.
Yan Xinrou angrily slammed her phone on the table. If the phone weren’t of good quality, the screen would have shattered by now.
Liou Qingcheng opened her mouth, wanting to ask something but ultimately didn’t.
Yan Xinrou held her daughter’s hand and said earnestly, "Qingcheng, as a mother, there are some things I must say. You’ve indulged Lin Tian too much. You’re not managing your man well. See what happened now, you don’t even know who he’s offended, and no one can help."
"Mom, is this really the time for that?"
"This is what they call ’mending the barn after the sheep are lost!’ Look at your father, I’ve managed him well, and there’s never any trouble."
"What about the three highs?"
"Hey! Is this the time to talk back?"
...
Chen Moxiang also knew about Lin Tian’s imprisonment. But this time, she really couldn’t help because using her Security Management Institute identity wouldn’t solve it. The matter had become a nationwide sensation, and bringing up her Security Management Institute identity would only invite trouble.
Suddenly, her phone rang, and it was actually Lin Tian calling!
Wasn’t this guy at the police station?
Chen Moxiang was stunned for a second before quickly answering the phone.
"Hello, is this Mr. Chen?" The voice on the other end was a woman’s, very recognizable. It was Bai Shishi, which Chen Moxiang quickly realized.
"It’s me." After responding concisely, Chen Moxiang asked, "Is this about Lin Tian? I’d love to help, but unfortunately, I don’t have the ability."
"Don’t be too quick to dismiss it; maybe you’re the only one who can help with this." Bai Shishi spoke urgently.
"What’s the matter?"
"Before Lin Tian left with the police, he asked me to call you. He said to have your people involved in Huang Shitou’s autopsy, not to do much, just ensure it’s not tampered with."
"This..."
"Can’t you do it?" Bai Shishi was a bit anxious. This was her last connection; if this path didn’t work, she really couldn’t help at all.
Chen Moxiang thought for a few seconds before replying, "No problem, I can handle that."
Upon hearing this, Bai Shishi breathed a small sigh of relief, showing a rare smile on her face, "Thank you then."
Chen Moxiang smiled and replied, "It’s nothing, no need for you to thank me. When Lin Tian gets out, he can thank me personally."
Meanwhile, Bai Shishi and Yan Xinrou had invited renowned lawyers in Kanyue City to defend Lin Tian.
After all, Huang Shitou had attacked with a knife. Even if Lin Tian’s response was excessive and resulted in death, it could still be considered self-defense!
That would not require criminal liability!
...
Lin Tian was unaware of what was happening outside, and no one came to interrogate him. He just sat there in handcuffs, waiting until dawn.

The sound was not loud, but in the quiet room, it was very distinct.
Lin Tian immediately came out of his meditative state and opened his eyes.
Tang Feng and a police officer walked in and sat down at the interrogation table opposite Lin Tian.
Tang Feng looked at Lin Tian, squinting with a smile, "Sorry, there was too much happening yesterday, I accidentally forgot about you."
"Accidentally?" Lin Tian looked at him with a half-smile.
Tang Feng wore a bright smile and said, "Yes, I’m a police officer with a lot on my plate. Once I get busy, I get really absorbed, forgetting about you was really an oversight."
Lin Tian gave him a disdainful look. That sounded like a load of crap. Could any work under you be more important than a human life? And especially such a high-profile case?
Typically, with such a case, even if Tang Feng is responsible, he should have solved it as soon as possible. Why is he taking it so leisurely?
Tang Feng seemed to think of something and slapped his thigh, "Hey, you’ve been sitting here all night. Haven’t eaten anything, right?"
"What do you think? I’m just a suspect now, not yet your prisoner, isn’t this maltreatment?"
"Hey, that’s a heavy charge. Let’s just say it’s my negligence at work. Don’t worry after you answer a few questions, I’ll let you have a good meal and a filling sleep afterward."
Lin Tian was dismissive of his words, look at this guy’s smug face. All talk and no action.
"By the way, you haven’t been to the toilet all day, haven’t you already wet your pants, hahaha..." Tang Feng said, unable to hold back his laughter.
With his physiological control, Lin Tian could manage that, it was simply not a concern.
Lin Tian replied with a laugh, "No wetting my pants, but just holding it in for quite a while. I suggest you sit a bit further away from me, because if I can’t hold it, it might just spray right on your face! Hahaha..."
Tang Feng’s face gradually darkened. He couldn’t even respond to that!
Seeing Lin Tian like this, Tang Feng was also simmering with anger. But he wasn’t in a hurry. Now that Lin Tian was handcuffed and in his grasp, he could handle him however he wanted!
As for retaliation, Tang Feng was not afraid. Lin Tian had offended someone important this time! Even if he could get out, he probably couldn’t stay in Kanyue City anymore!
What’s there to be afraid of in such a worthless person?
"Hold it off on the bathroom and food until after the interrogation is over! Alright, let’s officially start now, I’ll ask and you answer."
Lin Tian pulled back his smile, not expressing an opinion.
"Name?"
Lin Tian replied impatiently, "Don’t you already know?"
