Lin Yi entered the office and found Liu Guangxian on the phone.

After seeing Lin Yi come in, he waved his hand and gestured for him to come in.

However, Liu Guangxian did not hang up.

“I’ve heard about this. I’ll ask about it later.”

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

“You’re welcome. It’s not a big deal.”

“Alright, that’s all for now.”

After about a minute, Liu Guangxian hung up and looked at Lin Yi.

“Take a seat. Why are you being so polite when you’re here?”

Liu Guangxian said with a smile and extinguished the cigarette butt.

“Where did you go during this time? I haven’t seen you for more than a month.”

“I felt that I wasn’t good enough and couldn’t do my job, so I found a place to train in secret.”

“You’re just talking nonsense with me.” Liu Guangxian scolded jokingly.

“If your level isn’t high enough, we’d probably all be fired.”

Lin Yi chuckled and sat on the sofa.

“Leader, were you looking for me for something?”

Lin Yi knew why Liu Guangxian was looking for him, but in order to get to the chase, he asked the obvious.

“It’s not a big deal.” Liu Guangxian said.

“Hear you guys just handled a campus bullying case. How’s it going now?”

“We’ve arrested the suspects and are interrogating them downstairs.”

Liu Guangxian’s expression changed slightly, and he hesitated for a few seconds.

“They’re just a bunch of middle school students, right? About thirteen or fourteen years old?”

“They’re all in their third year, so they’re at least fourteen.”

Lin Yi anticipated what Liu Guangxian was about to say and provided the conclusion.

He was making it clear that these individuals were already fourteen and would be held legally responsible for their actions.

Liu Guangxian smacked his lips and lit another cigarette.

“How do you plan to handle this?”

“I can’t handle it any other way,” Lin Yi replied.

“We’ll follow the standard legal procedures. The court will decide their sentences.”

“What about the victims’ family? Are they open to compensation?”

“Leader, let’s put ourselves in the victims’ parents’ shoes. Would you want to settle privately if it were your child?”

Lin Yi’s casual remark left Liu Guangxian speechless, unable to respond.

Liu Guangxian knew that Lin Yi had seen through his thoughts and that his own idea was indeed inappropriate.

He found himself in a dilemma.

Unlike Lin Yi, Liu Guangxian couldn’t act without constraints.

While Lin Yi could operate above many rules due to his abilities.

However, Liu Guangxian had numerous superiors and an even more extensive set of rules above him.

There were even more huge rules waiting for him.

These regulations, like a vast net, restricted his actions, and he had to struggle within them to avoid sinking.

That was why he said this to Lin Yi.

“I’ve already heard about the process from Little Li. To be honest, I support you very much. You have to prevent such a thing from happening, but… Sigh…”

Liu Guangxian sighed, took out his phone, and opened the call log.

“My phone has been ringing nonstop since the accident. It’s all about this. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have called you over.”

Lin Yi lowered his head and fell silent for a long time. Finally, he said,

“Leader, I’ve been in the police station for so long and you’ve taken good care of me. I’ll remember all of this in my heart. Since you’ve asked, I definitely have to give you face, so just say it. How do you want to deal with it?”

Liu Guangxian’s heart skipped a beat, but he did not feel good either. In fact, he felt conflicted.

Lin Yi was a rare seedling. As long as he worked hard, his future would be bright.

However, if he did this, it would leave a shadow on his career and shake his firm heart.

However, if he did not do this, he might not have a future.

This was the rule of society. Smoothness was a compulsory course in the workplace. It was impossible for him to barge around like this.

After thinking about it, Liu Guangxian sighed again.

“Those troublemakers must be dealt with. They will be detained for a week and fined. They will also compensate for all the medical expenses and mental damages. If such a thing happens again in the future, it will not be tolerated. They will be charged with several crimes!”

In the beginning, Liu Guangxian wanted Lin Yi to settle it privately, not detain them for a week.

But Lin Yi’s words touched his heart.

Liu Guangxian felt a pang of guilt, thinking he was betraying the integrity of his uniform.

That was why he added this.

“You’re sure you don’t want them to face criminal charges, right?”

“Given the current situation, even if they do face criminal charges, it won’t alleviate the harm Liu Peipei has suffered. This is the best choice for her,” Liu Guangxian said with difficulty.

After a long silence, Lin Yi nodded. “Alright, we’ll do as you say.”

Lin Yi stood up, took his badge out of his pocket, and placed it on Liu Guangxian’s desk. Then he turned and walked out.

“What are you doing?”

“If we handle it this way, I feel I’m unworthy of this uniform,” Lin Yi said.

“Though I’m a bit of a rogue, I took an oath under the national flag during the induction ceremony. I can’t accept this way of handling things, and I don’t deserve to wear this uniform. I’m leaving.”

“Wait!”

Liu Guangxian called out to Lin Yi. “I understand how you feel, but you need to realize that this isn’t an isolated case. It’s a serious societal issue that we alone can’t change.”

“Leader, let me tell you something. I have a decent income, and I could survive even without this job. So, long ago, I thought about doing some good deeds, like donating money to children in remote areas, hoping to help them a bit. But I kept putting it off because I felt that even if I donated, they’d eventually go back to their previous state, making my donations seem meaningless.”

Lin Yi paused, sighed, then continued.

“Until one day, someone enlightened me. Personal donations can’t solve the problem, but I can set an example and inspire more people to join in and slowly change the status quo.”

“Even if, in the end, no one else joins, my assistance can at least provide a meal of meat or steaming hot rice for a family or two. At the very least, my actions can bring them temporary joy and happiness, which is also meaningful.”

Bang!

After speaking, Lin Yi shut the door and left. Liu Guangxian stood there, stunned, Lin Yi’s words echoing in his mind.

Resonating and impactful!
