Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

"What are we waiting for? Attack!" Someone from their group shouted at the top of their lungs. 

That was enough for the people who had come to start making trouble. Without holding back, they ran up to the smoke which had nearly vanished and started a huge fight. 

Boom~

Crush~ 

"Ouch!" 

Crick~

"Ahhh!"

Bang!

"My waist! I am done for!"

In the blink of an eye, the area became a huge mess and loud sounds of people's groans and things breaking were heard. Yan Luhan's bodyguards and Ben's lackeys got involved in a huge fight. 

Some people who were lingering around the area and watching the show till now hastily left with panic. The local police were also alarmed as they rushed to the spot in the least time possible.

Even though the siren was on, the two parties didn't give them a shiet! As if the bodyguards and Ben's followers didn't see them, they continued their fight and ripped each other's clothes like a madman. 

Many people were groaning and rolling on the ground as they were injured quite badly. 

"Hands up! No more fighting!" The officers got out of the police cars and shouted. But nobody even paused for a second and was busy tearing each other.

"How dare they… Arrest them!" The senior officer was shaking in anger when they were ignored blatantly. 

The man's lips twisted when someone from the group accidentally threw a stone at him which hit the man on his chest, successfully giving a huge blow to his nipple.

"..." When the senior officer turned to the assaulter, the other person who was in ripped jeans and a single grey t-shirt was shocked and immediately feigned death with his tongue dangled outside. 

"Sneaky rat!" The furious senior officer gritted his yellow teeth and rushed that man. In the next moment, he arrested him first and then shouted, "No one should escape! Bring them all to the police station!"

"Ok!" 

"Alright!"

"Understood!"

All the other officers replied seriously as they got into action. So in just a few seconds all the people involved in the fight were caught and brought to the police station. 

They didn't even put up a struggle when they were brought to the station and locked up behind the lockers. The injured ones were brought to the hospital temporarily. 

There were surveillance cameras all over the place for security purposes. When the senior officer investigated the matter, they found out about the five people who ran away after igniting the fight. 

After checking everything in the recorded video, the senior officer was speechless. He didn't think that something so big had spiralled out from the bloody confrontation between lovers.

After the old officer gave orders, Ji Yanli, Wang Haixiao, Ben and Michael were caught in another post by the police in charge. Yan Luhan's car was besieged and he was brought to the station for interrogation as well.

…

After 1 hour. 

Ji Yanli, Wang Haixiao and Yan Luhan were seated in front of the senior officers. Ben and Michael were standing behind them because there was no spare seat for them. All of their wrists were locked with handcuffs.

From the video the policeman had checked, it was clear that everything started when the lady was stopped on the footpath, then an argument happened between the people present, afterwards, it spread to violence. 

The senior officer turned to Ji Yanli and asked with a stern and serious face, "Miss, we need your statement. Can you collaborate as to what happened exactly?"

Ji Yanli nodded her head like a pecking chick and pointed at Yan Luhan sternly as she said, "He sexually harassed me, officer! Please, throw him behind the prison!"

At her reply, Yan Luhan scoffed and turned to her, "Don't joke! I just tried to kiss you. How did this become harassment?! Didn't you say you like me before?!"

"That was all in the past! Now I like Haixiao!" Ji Yanli replied boringly without care. Then she turned to Wang Haixiao and whispered, "Don't worry. I still like you more than him!"

"I… believe you…" Wang Haixiao tried to force out a smile as he murmured. 

The officer saw the interactions, nodded while writing down something on a paper and then turned to Wang Haixiao. 

"Why did you become physical with that man? We saw you punching and throwing him on the ground." The officer demanded an answer fiercely. "Do you know the penalty for doing this?!"

Wang Haixiao frowned. As a former PA, he knew that the current situation was very bad for him and the other four people yet they were so calm that he felt stifled. Not to say, it became so big that it went out of control. 

Wang Haixiao coughed gently and then replied with all seriousness, "Isn't it because… he harassed her first?" As replied, he glared fiercely at Yan Luhan.

Ji Yanli also said seriously as she turned to the police officer, "Anybody would react just like him if they were in his place. Officer, you should understand."

Righteousness was overflowing from her words!

The senior officer acknowledged and took it down on the page. Then he turned to Ji Yanli. This time, the man smiled dangerously as he asked, "Miss, you have weapons with you, right?"

Ji Yanli was taken aback by the question. She asked with confusion, "Weapons?! What weapons?!"

"The bomb-like thing you threw and left…" The officer smiled broadly as he stated again. 

"That… oh! That isn't any weapon. It's just a new invention of my scientist friend. The thing contains chilli powder, nitrogen gas and other harmless things…" Ji Yanli tried hard to remember and finally replied with a smile. "Really a good thing. Finally, it came in handy tonight."

"It's still a harmful object. Why would you roam around with that thing…" The officer shook his head in resignation and wrote down her words. After the man was done, he stood up and called out, "Get them in the lockers! All in one!"

"What?! Why?!" Ji Yanli stood up and inquired with a frown. She wanted to curse the officer too but forced the urge down. After all, it wouldn't do any good to her if she really did it except bringing endless trouble to her doorsteps!

The senior officer adjusted his cap and explained with a serious face. But Ji Yanli felt hostility coming from him for a moment.

"You are carrying harmful things. 

That Wang guy became physical and assaulted another person.

Mr Yan for harassing you and bringing out his bodyguards for the purpose of fighting. 

Mr Ben for carrying an unauthorized knife. Also, we got to know that the other party who fought with Mr Yan's bodyguards are his men.

And Mr Michael for… being in the same cahoots of you all!"

The most innocent person among the group, Michael cried out when he heard. 'Why me?!' Ji Yanli panicked when the people came to bring her to prison and hurriedly spoke out, "Isn't it ok if we pay fine?!" 

"Yes, there is this option. But… you all have disturbed the peace of the public and made a lot of problems. So, stay in prison for some months. Thank you." The senior officer smiled like an angel. But the man's eyes were so red that they didn't match with the benevolent smile he was trying to show. 

Ben couldn't care more and shrugged. "Isn't it just staying in lockers? What is so hard?"

Ji Yanli turned to him and spoke through gritted teeth, "You can like it but I don't!" 

Wang Haixiao patted her back and then turned to the senior officer who was ready to get off, "Sir, I want to make a call. It is at least allowed, right?"

The senior officer paused and looked up and down at Wang Haixiao. He remembered the content from the video and had a good impression of him for protecting his girlfriend. Thus, he nodded after a while, "Sure you can. But one minute."

"Me too!" Ben lifted his hand and said with urgencies. 

"I also need to call my lawyer!" Yan Luhan stared at the officer and said sternly. 

However, the senior officer shook his head and replied, "Only one can."

"It's illegal!" Ben murmured with a scowl.

The officer paused in his steps and turned 5o him. "I am really in a bad mood. I was supposed to go on a blind date with my gf but because of this fuss, I couldn't get off from my duty and accompany her. Don't make me angry. You will be thrown into prison for many years then!"

"... Humph." Ben snorted and rubbed the handcuff as he thought, 'Should I break it and leave?'

After the officer left, except Wang Haixiao, the others were dragged to get locked up. All of them were put into one cell because the others were filled with those bodyguards and Ben's lackeys. 

Ji Yanli sighed and turned to look at the other three people. Her eyes teared up as she looked down at her locked wrists in silence, 'I… just wanted to walk…'
