Chapter 212: Love and Care for the Morons

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was shocking when a person just shouted out of nowhere in public, although Tang Yuanchu had done so for a good cause.

Well, as the one who bawled earlier was a police officer, that attracted the attention of everyone there.

The quiet environment became quiet as everyone had their attention on Tang Yuanchu.

That man who was dragged out by Tang Yuanchu was groaning in pain. As a result, his mobile phone loosened from his hand.

Cluck! The mobile phone fell onto the ground.

He yelled in a distressing tone, “My handphone, my handphone...”

“...”

He actually cared about his mobile phone at this moment?

No one knew what Tang Yuanchu wanted this man to handover.

But due to the grave look on Detective Tang’s face, they assumed that this should not be something trivial.

Everyone watched in silence. Xiang Wan, as well as the other two colleagues, came over to check out the situation.

“What happened?” He Wencai asked Tang Yuanchu.

Tang Yuanchu did not reply but handed the man to He Wencai where picked up the mobile phone on the ground, ordered that man to unlock it, and checked the photo album...

“Officer, you don’t have the right to do this. This is my privacy... my privacy...”

That man struggled, yelling and shouting away. He even asked the fellow reporters to help him out.

“Quick! Take a video of the police doing a forced body search on me—”

“Shut up!” Tang Yuanchu glared at him and continued to check the pictures in the mobile phone. He noticed that although there were many revealing pictures of various women, but there wasn’t anything that he had expected to find...

Did I see wrongly? He asked himself in his head.

He Wencai still had the man subdued. “Tang Yuanchu,” he asked again, “you haven’t replied to my question.”

Civilized law enforcement was a requirement. Moreover, there were so many reporters on the scene, if Tang Yuanchu was not careful on the matter, the Hongjiang District police force would be in trouble. He Wencai was about to break out in cold sweat.

But Tang Yuanchu did not answer for quite a while.

As he was being stared at by the crowd, his cheeks started to get hot. After mulling it for a while, he suddenly looked towards Xie Wanwan.

“This fellow is behaving sneakily at the side. I suspect he’s taking some obscene pictures...”

Xie Wanwan was stunned.

Just now, that sneaky fellow had been circling around Xie Wanwan and was taking pictures from various angles. As there were many reporters there, they surrounded Xie Wanwan like sardines, so no one actually knew what had happened. However, as Xie Wanwan was wearing a knee-length skirt with a slit, whenever a breeze brush past, it would reveal her pair of fair, slender and delicate legs—which could be a little too provoking for some men.

In a normal interview, the pictures that the photographer took would certainly not be obscene, even if the photographer could be crouching. But that was not the case for that sneaky fellow. He blended with the crowd and the position of his hands—what kind of fellow would keep trying to shoot under a woman’s skirt? Tang Yuanchu saw this and immediately shouted at him.

Everyone now seemed to understand what was going on.

Nevertheless, the fellow struggled relentlessly and kept shouting.

“We’re conducting the interview in an open and aboveboard manner. Why are you accusing me of taking obscene pictures? Officer, do you have evidence? If you don’t, you don’t have the right to do this to me.”

There were many reporters there.

And these people were usually shrewd.

They had “weapons” on them. How could they waste the opportunity for a worthy piece of news?

The cameras were already targeted at the struggling fellow who disputed with the police.

There were also reporters who asked, “Officer comrade, why did you say that he took obscene pictures?”

As Tang Yuanchu did not find any evidence on his mobile phone, he was confused and was at a loss.

He was standing, looking uneasy—his good-looking face was now red.

Due to the silence of the police officers, the tides gradually turned to the favor of the sneaky fellow. They were now suspicious of the police from the initial suspicion of that man taking obscene pictures.

As the crowd started to question their act, He Wencai felt his hand going weak.

This matter seemed headed to a bad end when Xiang Wan cried out suddenly.

“Take off his watch!”

She was watching while the others were talking.

She believed in Tang Yuanchu’s judgement, as well as her own instincts—that sneaky fellow seemed like a crook.

However, no evidence of his crime was found in his mobile phone. So, if he was taking obscene pictures, where would the camera be?

And so, she thought of the watch.

That should be attributed to her habit of watching social news. These perverts who loved to take obscene pictures of girls tend to install their camera in all kinds of unexpected places.

Since Tang Yuanchu noticed that there was something wrong with his hand and the problem lies not on the phone—it could only be the watch.

Sure enough, Xiang Wan’s logical reasoning ability proved its worth again.

On hearing this, that sneaky fellow instantly had a change of expression and struggled to protect his watch as he refused to take that off.

“You’re sure a sly one, huh?!” Tang Yuanchu grabbed the arms of the sneaky fellow and removed the watch from his wrist.

He took a look at the watch on his palm and held it in his hand. “Let’s go. You need to come with us to the police station!”

That man hung his head low and made no further attempt to defend himself!

This incident happened so fast that Xie Wanwan had not managed to speak to the police officers.

It was until the police wanted to take the criminal away that she recovered from her daze.

“Thank you, detective comrades!”

Xie Wanwan really felt like kicking that b*stard to death. Nevertheless, with so many people around, she had to maintain her sweet and lovely public image.

“No need for thanks.” Tang Yuanchu took a look at her. “If Miss Xie is convenient,” he thought for a moment, “do make a trip to the station for a statement.”

“...”

Xie Wanwan was considered a victim in this case. It was only normal to ask her to make a trip to the police station for a statement.

However, as Xie Wanwan had been plagued by the cases previously, she felt headache at the mention of the police station.

She asked, “Can I not go?”

“It’s better to do so.” Tang Yuanchu took a look at the watch he was holding. “What if there are information that requires you to destroy it personally?”

He was just trying to remind her, and Xie Wanwan instantly changed her expression.

That means, the sneaky fellow could have really taken some pictures?

The thought of being photographed under the skirt like that by a crook made her so disgusted that she got goosebumps all over...

Xie Wanwan was particularly sensitive to such incidents. When she noticed the weird looks of the co-workers around her as well as the cameras of the reporters, a cold sensation rose from the soles of her feet—her body went stiff and her face went ashen. Her back seemed to perspire profusely and was unable to utter a word.

To her, such a deed was abnormal and unforgivable.

However, an A-List celebrity should not lose her composure before the media.

The experience of being violated was a mark of shame on her and would not change because of her current status.

Being quite a sensitive one, Xiang Wan was able to detect Xie Wanwan’s emotions fast and quickly chimed in.

“Detective Tang, leave this matter to me...”

“Oh, no problem.” Only then did Tang Yuanchu seemed to understand the reason for Xiang Wan’s intervention. He quickly took a look at the reporters. “All of you, please come over here. We just need everyone to answer a few simple questions.”

With that, he turned to He Wencai. “Take down their name, company, job position, and contact numbers. Before this case is cleared up, nobody is allowed to spread news on this.”

“...”

The police was asking for cooperation, who would not comply?

“Nowadays, there are many criminal syndicates who would secretly take obscene videos and photos of women and sell them, turning a profit. Such acts are getting really rampant. I never expected you are so daring to do this even in the presence of the police?! You sure has a lot of guts. huh!” With that, Tang Yuanchu grabbed that sneaky fellow again and twisted his arms.

That was so painful that the sneaky fellow screamed in pain.

“Officer, I didn’t do it. I’m not a member of a criminal syndicate. I won’t sell the photos, either, I just wanted to keep them as a collection... private collection... I like Xie Wanwan. I’m a fan of Xie Wanwan, it’s true. I promise...”

“Shut up!” Tang Yuanchu shouted at him fiercely. “Everything will be clear after we investigate this matter.”

As the arms of the sneaky fellow was pinned behind his back by Tang Yuanchu, he started to perspire a lot due to the pain, so much so that he did not utter another word to defend himself.

Tang Yuanchu and another colleague escorted the suspect toward the police patrol car.

He Wencai and Xiang Wan were helping to take down the statements of the reporters at the scene.

They also followed according to what Tang Yuanchu had said earlier to remind everyone not to divulge a word of what had happened.

This was a matter that concerned a famous celebrity, especially a celebrity like Xie Wanwan that could garner a lot of attention. Even though she was the victim and it was not her fault, the moment the matter got publicized, the response from the public could be very different. A female celebrity like her would not only become the focus of public opinion, but she might also be ridiculed that she was creating hype for herself.

Even though this was an unfortunate incident to happen to a woman, there would always be people who would condemn the victim.

By doing this, Tang Yuanchu had, in turn, protected Xie Wanwan’s privacy.

Xie Wanwan took a glance at him and took her clutch from her assistant.

“I’ll go to the police station.”

“Sure,” Tang Yuanchu looked up and replied.

Xie Wanwan walked past him, heading toward her car that was parked not too far away.

There was a cooling breeze that brushed past at that moment, bringing a waft of the delicate fragrance of Xie Wanwan right to Tang Yuanchu’s nose.

He felt as though a feather was tickling and poking at his sensitive nerves as well as his heart. That left him in a momentary daze where he thought he had went back to his teenage years, where he woke up from his afternoon nap and saw a beautiful girl who had just finished washing her hair, walked past him. The rich, refreshing fragrance of the shampoo and the nice smell of the body wash had a strong impact on his heart...

When one falls in love, the feelings would come flooding in like the tides.

Tang Yuanchu gazed at Xie Wanwan’s back view for a long time.

“What are you looking at?” Xiang Wan elbowed him at the arm. “Pay attention to your image!” she whispered.

Thump! Tang Yuanchu’s heart skipped a beat and he immediately blushed. He quickly tried to explain himself as if his secret got found out.

“I was just thinking if she needed to make a trip to the police station.”

“Gentlemen chase after fair maidens, there’s nothing to be shameful about.” Xiang Wan asked casually when she saw his flushed red face, “Or I’ll just get her to stay here for a statement instead?”

“... Urgh!” Tang Yuanchu quickly replied, “There’s too many people here. It’s better for her to go to the police station.”

Xiang Wan raised an eyebrow, wearing a sly smile.

Tang Yuanchu felt embarrassed and hastily thought of a reason. “After all, she’s Captain Bai’s good friend...”

“!” Xiang Wan did not know if she should be angry or amused. “Tang Yuanchu, don’t be like this. You’ll lose friends easily. Now I really think that it must be the good and the kind-heartedness of the people that you are so well-liked and is such a popular online celebrity.”

“What do you mean?”

“Everyone is responsible for the love and care of morons.”

“...”
