Chapter 144 - Helplessness
Chapter 144 – Helplessness
It was very late at night when Cheng Yang returned to the police station.
He ran inside the police station and stumped the paper in his hands on the table in front of the police officer.
The police officer was also startled by his sudden entry as he stood up from his seat. He looked at Cheng Yang with wide eyes and asked
"Who are you? Who allowed you inside?"
Cheng Yang looked at the police officer with confusion as he was different from the man he had talked to before. But nonetheless, it only made him feel a little relieved.
Because he didn't know what he would have done if he had seen the face of that police officer before. The disgusting gaze with which the man had looked towards Mo Roulan still was very clear in his memory making him remember every time how he didn't do anything fearing that he would only make her time difficult in prison by his actions.
"This is the documents needed for Mo Roulan's bail."
He told the police officer in an emotionless voice.
"Mo Roulan"
A frown marred the head of the police officer's forehead as he repeated the name Cheng Yang had just mentioned.
Very soon the frown set down and his eyes went wide as he looked at Cheng Yang and said warily
"Is she the same girl who was arrested this evening in the drug case?"
Cheng Yang immediately nodded his head and said
"Yes, free her now. I have the papers for her bail. You can't keep her here anymore."
His fists clenched as he looked in the direction of where he had seen policewomen taking Mo Roulan inside.
How alone she must be feeling inside there?
Once again Cheng Yang was reminded of how helpless he was and he hated it.
He hated the fact that he didn't have the power to help the girl who had done so much for him. It made him feel ashamed.
The next moment, Cheng Yang's came out of his regretful thoughts when he heard the police officer's words.
"Young man, that girl has already been freed."
"Has been freed?"
Cheng Yang frowned in confusion and the police officer nodded his head.
"Yes, she had left from here a long ago."
The words didn't clear Cheng Yang's confusion and he asked again
"How? I mean I was told before she would not be freed until the complaint is taken back or until she shows any evidence regarding her not any involvement with drugs."
Cheng Yang police officer sighing at his words. The man took out his handkerchief and seemed to have a bitter smile on his lips.
"So you are young master from Cheng family?"
Cheng Yang looked at the police officer with questioning eyes and then saw him looking at paper lying on the table.
The papers mentioned his name so he understood that the police officer must have read his name from there.
He wanted to get bail for Mo Roulan under his responsibility. Although Cheng family had fallen in the past few months, he still had his own sources to make something unreasonable like possible.
On the other hand, the police officer rubbed his chin with interest filled eyes and murmured
"I wonder just who this Miss Mo Roulan is. First, the Young Master of He family especially comes here for her and now Young Master from Cheng family comes here for her."
"He family…"
Cheng Yang caught the words from the police officer murmurs and his eyes narrowed as he looked at the police officer.
The police officer cleared his throat with an awkward expression. He straightened his back and looked at Cheng Yang with a serious expression on his face.
"Young Maser Cheng, the girl you are looking for has already been freed. I suppose that you should leave form here now."
Cheng Yang's face went blank seeing the change in the attitude of the police officer. He knew that the police officer would not tell him anything so he picked up the paper from the table and turned around to leave.
However, just when he was about to step out of the room, the door opened and two policemen entered the room while dragging a shouting man inside the room.
Cheng Yang was startled and stepped aside giving way to them.
"Leave me…do you even know who I am? You can't just drag anyone here like this. I have the power to make you lose your job. Hey officer…tell your men to leave me."
The man shouted non-stop. The two policemen heard his words and stopped for a fraction of a second. Hesitation could be seen in their eyes which made the struggling man smile proudly.
However, the next moment the two policemen heard their senior's words
"You cowards…do you still not know what is right and what is wrong? Arrest him and drag him inside the cell. He is playing with the lives of so many people and you fear that he will make you jobless. I assure you that he can't do anything. Just do your job fearlessly."
The police officer said strictly making the smile from the man's face disappear.
Cheng Yang just looked at this farce and was ready to leave the police station. However, he had taken just a step forward when the man's words fell in his ears.
"You…do you even know who I am?"
The man pointed his fat finger at the police officer and said loudly
"I am the head of You family, You Biuxin. Do you not know the power You family holds in City H?"
Standing at the door of the room, Cheng Yang's eyes were cold and sharp.
The name 'You Biuxin' rang in his ears again and again.
He turned around very slowly. His cold eyes looked at the man and his fists clenched as he remembered whatever his mother had told him.
The police officer didn't notice that Cheng Yang was still standing inside the room.
He looked at You Biuxin without any fear and said
"Actually it doesn't matter how much your family holds after what you have done. The law inside the City H is not that much blind yet. Before you were doing such a business openly because you held that same power and could threaten others with them. The police could not take any action against you. However, now the things are much different. This time…You have got a very powerful family against you, Mr. You.
Tell me between You and He family…who do you think the higher-ups in City H would follow?"
The police officer asked with a smirk and You Biuxin's face went pale at his words.
Cheng Yang who had been standing at the door heard the police officer's words and his lips were pressed in a thin line.
He controlled his anger as he saw the two policemen dragging You Biuxin away. As much as he wished to kill the man right there, he knew that this was not the right time. He still had to find the evidence against him.
And this time could not have been more right.
You Biuxin was inside the jail so there would be no one outside who would stop him.
Cheng Yang thought as he turned around to leave the police station.
His thoughts again went in Mo Roulan direction and he took out his phone from his pocket thinking of calling Mo Roulan and asking her where she was.
But the next moment, he bumped against someone and the collision made his phone fall out from his phone.
Cheng Yang cursed and bent down to pick his phone from the ground.
"Sorry, I was not paying att…"
He said when he straightened and looked at the person with whom he had just bumped but he was forced to stop amidst his apology when he saw the red-eyed policewoman.
She was the same policewoman who had arrested Mo Roulan and had dragged her inside the prison cell.
"You…"
The policewoman looked at Cheng Yang and her eyes were suddenly filled with hope.
"You are the boy who had come here with that girl, right?"
Cheng Yang understood what she meant by that girl but he didn't say anything. The policewoman didn't mind his silence and held Cheng Yang's arm as she looked at him with pleading eyes.
"Can you take me to her? I will go and apologize to her very seriously. Please…this job is very important for me. I am a single mother and have a child to raise. I can't afford to lose my job."
Cheng Yang frowned and tried to free his arm from policewoman's hand, however the policewoman was just too desperate at this moment.
"Please take me to her. I just did what I was asked to do. I will apologize to Young Master He also if he wants that. Just give me back my job."
Cheng Yang's action of freeing himself stopped when he heard He family name again.
He felt very confused as to why the policewoman as well as that police officer took Young Master He's name in Mo Roulan's matters.
The policewoman was still saying many things.
Cheng Yang would have ignored her, however, she said something that he could no longer ignore.
Looking at the policewoman, Cheng Yang put back his phone inside his pocket and decided something.
