    Chapter 25: Taking Sides

    Some officers’ tone of voice…

    is really something I can’t compliment.

    Take this young police officer, Xiao Chen, for example. Gu Yin clearly doesn’t know him, but for some reason, when he speaks to Gu Yin, it’s as if he’s carrying a bit of an attitude.

    Gu Yin and Qin Ou, the Kartelai car owner, each stuck to their own version of events. However, it was quite clear that in the young police officer Xiao Chen’s eyes, Qin Ou’s account was more convincing, and he was more inclined to believe her. So he directly started questioning Gu Yin.

    In his mind, Gu Yin’s image instantly transformed from a “good citizen who returned lost property” to a “liar and car thief.”

    Most people, faced with such a tone from an officer in uniform, would be panicked.

    See?

    Even the overweight Mengmeng looked like she regretted bringing Xia Xiangsi here.

    But Gu Yin remained calm and casually replied:

    “This car, I actually found it.”

    “But she says you drove her car away?” Xiao Chen frowned, speaking sternly.

    “How would I know…?”

    Gu Yin shrugged, nonchalantly saying:

    “Oh, she says she’s the owner, so she is? I didn’t see her at the time. I only saw an empty car parked in the middle of the road. We wouldn’t know whose car it is.”

    Gu Yin’s eyes darted around, avoiding eye contact with Qin Ou, the Kartelai car owner. His tone was…

    sarcastic!

    “You!”

    The young police officer Xiao Chen was speechless. Indeed, he hadn’t confirmed that the car belonged to Qin Ou; he had only heard one side of the story before questioning Gu Yin.

    “You…you’re a scoundrel!”

    Qin Ou, the Kartelai car owner, also turned red with anger, gritting her teeth and saying to Xiao Chen:

    “Officer, please keep an eye on him. I’ll go get my driver’s license and registration from the car. Let’s see how he denies it!”

    With that, she ran to her car and retrieved her driver’s license and vehicle registration.

    After examining them, Xiao Chen frowned, glared at Gu Yin, and presented the documents to Gu Yin, asking:

    “Now, how are you going to deny it?”

    Police officers are not supposed to take sides, they are not supposed to be biased, and officers are fair and base their judgment on evidence. Xiao Chen seemed to be practically demonstrating this point.

    “You, without permission, drove someone else’s car. You’ve broken the law. Do you understand?” he asked.

    But to his great displeasure, Gu Yin, instead of showing any guilt or nervousness at his lie being exposed, remained indifferent, saying:

    “First, I didn’t know the car was hers. You wouldn’t search someone’s car for their driver’s license and registration, would you…?”

    “Second, the car was parked in the middle of the road, blocking the entire street. The engine wasn’t even off, and I couldn’t find the owner, so I naturally assumed it was ownerless.”

    As he spoke these two points, Gu Yin sounded like he was explaining himself, but it also felt like he was being a scoundrel.

    At that moment, the young police officer Xiao Chen had already formulated his rebuttal in his mind, but then…

    “Finally!”

    After “first” and “second,” Gu Yin added a “finally!”

    Xiao Chen wasn’t fazed, thinking the guy was going to continue his flimsy excuses…

    But then, Gu Yin suddenly pointed a finger at the pink slippers on Qin Ou’s feet and said:

    “Have you ever seen anyone drive a car wearing slippers?”

    “Even if she were next to the car, I wouldn’t think she was the owner.”

    As soon as he finished…

    “This…”

    The young police officer Xiao Chen was speechless.

    Traffic regulations clearly state that driving while wearing slippers is prohibited; it results in a three-point deduction and a 100 yuan fine.

    In fact, from the moment Qin Ou arrived, Xiao Chen had noticed her slippers, especially since the sole of her right slipper was half gone – it was hard to miss.

    But later, he was distracted by her loud complaints and temporarily forgot this detail…

    Well, unexpectedly, Gu Yin used it to his advantage!

    The key point was that this excuse was so unexpected that Xiao Chen couldn’t immediately refute it!

    “I…”

    Not only him, even Qin Ou was speechless, her face flushed red, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

    Driving in slippers, she was already in the wrong, especially in front of the police, making her feel guilty.

    Once a person feels guilty, they lose confidence in their words.

    【Hahaha…Nice!】

    Many viewers found it extremely enjoyable, commenting:

    【Coach Gu, you’re truly professional!】

    【Coach Gu, an ordinary master at spotting key points!】

    【Who says this coach is not rigorous? This coach is amazing!】

    Mengmeng, Xia Xiangsi, and even Police Officer Su Nuan almost laughed at the point Gu Yin had made. It has to be said, he’s really good at arguing. Qin Ou needs to learn from him when it comes to being a “scoundrel”!

    “You…you mind your own business about what shoes I wear!”

    “Anyway, you drove my car!”

    “Officer, he drove my car!”

    “Ar…arrest him!”

    “At least detain him!”

    Regardless of whether she was right or wrong, the fact that Gu Yin had driven her car was wrong and illegal, so Qin Ou started to act like a scoundrel.

    Gu Yin didn’t back down either. Both sides stuck to their own versions, and an argument ensued. Even Xiao Chen couldn’t mediate, so he could only try to persuade them.

    It’s worth mentioning that the older policewoman, Su Nuan, didn’t get involved in the mediation. Instead, she went to the lobby, found a colleague, and said:

    “Check the surveillance footage near Experimental Primary School.”

    To find out what exactly happened, just look at the footage.

    “Okay.”

    The colleague pulled up the footage from the intersection, starting from an hour ago, and fast-forwarded it. Soon, they reached the scene where Qin Ou abandoned her car and left, blocking the entire street behind her.

    “This woman is…”

    At the entrance, Qin Ou’s and Gu Yin’s argument still echoed in the air, but a look of “disgust” appeared on Su Nuan’s face.

    With a few colleagues, she forcefully pulled Qin Ou away. Standing at the entrance, the policewoman frowned, glared at Qin Ou, then waved at Gu Yin and said:

    “Alright, you can go now.”

    As soon as she said this, Qin Ou exploded!

    “Officer!”

    “Why can he leave?!”

    “He stole a car!”

    “He stole my car!”

    “This is an infringement of personal property!”

    “You’re letting him go???”

    Su Nuan’s expression was stern, her tone icy. She only said one sentence:

    “Do you know why he drove your car away?”

    “I…”

    For a moment, a hint of guilt appeared on Qin Ou’s face.
