Chapter 6: The police station blows the air conditioner and drinks tea. Is this really an online car-hailing driver?
Captain Chen listened to the swearing on the phone and eventually became upset. This was his first encounter with such an individual who resorts to verbal abuse when faced with disagreement, even disregarding the authority of the police station. As a senior police officer, he usually maintained high self-discipline, but today was an exception.
Confronting the mobile phone, he sternly addressed, “Madam, I’ll reiterate the situation. I’m a police officer from the Ansheng Police Station in West Sea City, and your mobile phone is currently with the police. If you persist in insulting law enforcement, you will be immediately detained for such behavior. The choice is yours.”
With a decisive clap, he hung up. Standing nearby, Lin Yang breathed a sigh of relief and applauded Captain Chen. “Brother Chen, you handled that well. Some individuals need to be confronted to curb their arrogance.”
Captain Chen looked at Lin Yang with an annoyed glance and said, “Alright, Lin Yang, why do I feel like you set me up? You knew she was difficult, deliberately making me answer the call just to be scolded, right? I practically had a spike in my blood pressure!”
Lin Yang chuckled, feigning innocence and choosing not to explain. Sometimes, admitting a broken idea is embarrassing, and he let it slide.

[Good guy, I heard his abacus a thousand kilometers away. At first, I thought he was just venting his anger, and for a long time, he wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone!].
[This trick is a little tricky. I have nothing to do, but I can relieve my anger. I look forward to whether that passenger will come to the police station for a while.].
[Surely, I know this kind of person too well. Typical bullying. When she encounters someone easy to talk to, she will be punished to death. You will be as cowardly as an egg when you encounter hard stubble. Don’t believe it, just wait and see.].
[I was thinking, what exactly does her husband do? On the left, there is a sentence about my husband, and there is a sentence about my husband, which sounds awesome. I’m a little worried that Lin Yang can’t stand it!].
….
Lin Yang initially planned to submit his mobile phone and resume work, but Captain Chen was unexpectedly detained. With a mix of frustration and humor, Captain Chen called Lin Yang back.
“Young man, you tricked me once, and now you think you can just walk away like that? I granted you a 500 bonus today. Don’t be in such a rush to leave. Stick around. I want to see what that person can do to you!”
Realizing his mistake, Lin Yang was reluctantly invited to the office, where he sat comfortably in the air-conditioned room, sipping tea. Observing this unfold, netizens in the live broadcast room expressed their disbelief.
They commented on the peculiar scene: “Look at this guy. He went to the police station only to enjoy tea and air conditioning. What kind of treatment is this? Check out the other contestants—they’re all working hard. Even those with air-conditioned jobs are still working. And here’s Lin Yang, leisurely sipping tea with his legs crossed in the police station. Who’s going to believe this?”
[What the hell, I’m still blowing on the electric fan. This guy is already blowing on the air conditioner!].
[If one day, someone told me that an online car-hailing driver was forcibly dragged to the police station to drink tea and turn on the air conditioner, I would slap him, you fool!].
[Is there anyone from West Sea City? Pour cold water on him, and I’ll give you a quick tip of 200!].
[200? 2000, I don’t do it either! What the hell, they’re at the police station!].
….
On their way, the police station director passed by their office and, noticing Lin Yang’s impressive presence, curiously asked Captain Chen, “Old Chen, who is this? Why did you bring him here for tea?”
Glancing at Lin Yang, Captain Chen felt a twitch in his eyelids. Lin Yang’s appearance seemed quite imposing, and it could easily be mistaken for the son of a high-ranking official. He regretted bringing Lin Yang into the station at this moment.
“Cough~~~. Director, you misunderstood. He’s involved in a case. I invited him to assist in the investigation.”
The director, noting the changed tone, questioned, “Assist in the investigation… Why does he even have Mao Feng tea?”
“This… um… because…”
Just as Captain Chen struggled with the explanation, Xiao Li rushed in, bringing urgent news. “Captain Chen, a woman outside, wants to retrieve her phone.”
As Xiao Li spoke, he noticed Lin Yang casually sitting and sipping tea, a momentary surprise crossing his face. “Lin Yang! Why are you here?”
With a shy smile, Lin Yang replied, “I came to help with the case!”
Xiao Li approached him excitedly and said, “Do you know your video analyzing fraud today has gone viral on the internet? The views have surpassed 20 million! Our Ansheng police station is gaining attention.”
This revelation left all three of them dumbfounded. Unaware of the events, the director inquired, puzzled, “Xiao Li, what’s going on? Why all the excitement?”
Xiao Li eagerly explained, “Director, it’s like this. In the morning, Lin Yang brought a woman suspected of being scammed, and later, his video was posted online. It caught fire immediately. People realized scams go beyond cold calls, and there’s been a surge in anti-fraud awareness. Many are praising us under the Ansheng Police Station’s official account.”
After hearing Xiao Li’s explanation, everyone realized Lin Yang, despite having a mobile phone, only used it for basic functions like calls, communication, taxi services, and payments. He wasn’t aware that his video had been uploaded to the internet. The director, familiar with the challenges of anti-fraud work, looked at Lin Yang with a newfound understanding.
He knew how difficult it was to combat scams, as many people fall victim even when the police get involved. Scams are rampant, with banners warning against fraud everywhere, yet people continue to be deceived daily. The consequences are devastating for families, leading to ruin and separation.
To their surprise, the young man before them had sparked an anti-fraud wave with just one case. The realization dawned that those deceived often believe they are immune to scams, making them less cautious. The encountered fraud case was high-end and could easily deceive even the careful.
Upon this realization, panic set in, motivating everyone to learn about anti-fraud. Understanding the gravity of the situation, the director saw Lin Yang in a new light. He instructed Xiao Li to bring a box of high-quality tea from his office to honor Lin Yang.
Xiao Li, momentarily stunned, agreed to fetch the tea promptly. Captain Chen, puzzled by the sudden change, watched in disbelief. Lin Yang, equally bewildered, didn’t know what to say. However, he recalled something and asked, “By the way, Brother Chen, didn’t Officer Li mention that the woman came to retrieve her phone?”
Captain Chen snapped out of his thoughts, realizing he had almost forgotten. “Oh, yes! I nearly forgot. Let’s go and have a look.”
Seeing their understanding, the curious director followed behind, exclaiming, “Why are you going alone? I’ll come and see, too!”
