Chapter 980 - 990: Getting Arrogant (Part 1)
Chapter 980: Chapter 990: Getting Arrogant (Part 1)
"Showing off, huh!" thought the group of young police officers standing behind the young cop.
Or rather, everyone except Lin Xi thought that way!
In London, in this country, treating the police like this was indeed rare, truly rare, considering everyone only has one life.
Besides, the officers are armed, and even if they shoot you on the spot, there’d be a reason for it.
Yeah, they’d call you an accomplice of a dangerous suspect trying to flee the scene.
But Jones didn’t move, furiously winking at Luo Susu, indicating she should persuade Lin Xi.
Dealing with the police like this is truly risky behavior.
Luo Susu didn’t follow Lin Xi and tugged at him, "This place is not like back home!"
"Maybe we should just go with them, okay?"
"And don’t worry, if they treat us unfairly, I’ll find a lawyer to help!"
Lin Xi shook his head, "Why complicate things that are so simple?"
"Besides, you don’t need to worry about anything. This place is actually similar to back home!"
At this moment, he looked at Jones, signaling her not to be so tense.
However, judging by the looks of it, leaving directly didn’t seem feasible. So he looked back at the young officer, who was the decision-maker. As long as he could settle things with him, it’d be fine.
Lin Xi said, "Do we really have to go with you?"
This young officer was an elite in the London police force, both in ability and emotional intelligence, on par with officers with ten-plus years of experience.
Now, his expression wasn’t too good either.
What Lin Xi did earlier was really disrespectful to them.
You could say it was a public face slap.
"Yes!" he maintained his calm demeanor and responded.
Meanwhile, he suspected this person from Huaxia wasn’t simple.
Based on his experience, ever since Lin Xi walked over with the two women, he’d been on alert.
He noticed that this person in the environment wasn’t scared at all, not even a hint of nervousness.
But he was puzzled; this wasn’t Huaxia, it was the United Kingdom, his territory!
Yet this person was still so brazen?
Did he have something to rely on?
Besides, they were only asking the three of them to come over to make a statement, and that would be it.
After having heard the earlier account from the four security guards and the words from this person from Huaxia, he was mostly convinced that this was what happened.
No robbery involved.
But still, the procedure had to proceed, just in case; he couldn’t be a hundred percent sure it was as he’d analyzed.
It involved tens of thousands of pounds, and he’d noticed several citizens were taking photos with their phones.
If not handled well, it’d surely explode online.
The best course now was for these three in front of him to obediently follow them to the police station.
Only then could they recover the face they’d lost.
Lin Xi looked at the officers in front of him, sighed, and said, "It seems if I were to just leave, you’d definitely stop us, right!"
"In that case, let me tell you straight, we definitely won’t go to the station with you!"
As soon as these words left his mouth, several officers grew tense, ready to draw their guns at any moment.
This startled the four security guards; "Big brother, are you provoking the police?"
Actually, this matter could easily be clarified by going to the station.
But resisting arrest would make things much more troublesome.
They’d likely be implicated as well.
"Mr. Lin, the station is nearby; it won’t take much time!" The lead security guard shouted urgently, "Please don’t do anything reckless; it’ll stir up big trouble!"
He had a sentence he hadn’t said, "Even if you’re wealthy, that won’t save you!"
Luo Susu and Jones beside Lin Xi were also extremely anxious.
"What’s the big deal about going over?" Luo Susu was confused, "Do you have some urgent matter?"
"Don’t tell me Dili Bare is waiting for you!"
Lin Xi was taken aback by this, retorting, "How do you know?"
Luo Susu, "....."
Seriously, giving them an inch and taking a mile!
At this point, Lin Xi reached into his pocket to take out his phone, and this action immediately startled the officers nearby.
Several officers shouted, "Don’t move, slowly take your hand out!"
And indeed, the movie-like scene was anticipated.
They collectively placed their hands on their waists, poised to draw their guns.
It seemed if Lin Xi didn’t follow their orders, they’d shoot him.
This scene made even the distant citizens tense up.
"He’s got some guts!"
"To do this in front of so many officers, I can only admire him!"
"It’s not necessarily about having guts. Maybe he doesn’t see his action as seriously threatening the officers!"
"Right, right, I read about a Chinese person who almost got shot by the police a few days ago, just because the officer told him not to move, but he put his hands in his pockets out of fear, causing the officer to fire!"
"In the end, it turned out he was just grabbing his passport!"
"Fortunately, it didn’t hit any vital spots!"
"I wonder if this guy is trying to take out his passport too?"
"Not necessarily. Look at him, he doesn’t seem nervous or scared at all!"
"..."
But the young officer stopped his subordinates.
To him, this young man wouldn’t do anything dangerous.
Because he thought this person wasn’t brainless.
Besides, even if there were any dangerous actions, he’d be able to stop them in time. He was confident in his abilities.
They were only a meter apart.
In the next moment, everyone saw Lin Xi, completely ignoring the tension among the officers, calmly taking out his phone from his pocket.
"Phew~~~"
Immediately, almost everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
Then they saw Lin Xi dialing a number, saying, "There’s a bit of a situation, handle it for me, I’m quite busy, hurry up!"
"Yeah, I’m on XXX Street."
"Better hurry, or if something happens, don’t blame me!"
Luo Susu and Jones exchanged glances, "...."
The young officer and his men, "...."
The four security guards, "...."
The citizens, being far away, didn’t hear what Lin Xi said, assuming he was calling a lawyer or something.
Just when Luo Susu, Jones, and the four security guards were worried, and when the officers were angry, the phone in the young officer’s pocket started vibrating.
He looked confused as he took out his phone. Who could be calling him at this moment?
Could it be related to that young man’s call just now?
Thinking about it, he couldn’t help but laugh; it seemed unlikely.
Because he saw the caller ID showed his superior, a leader several ranks above him.
"Could something major have happened somewhere?" he wondered.
For something not major, it would’ve been his direct supervisor calling, not the highest-ranking leader in the bureau.
