"Let go of me, let go! You traitor! A sellout! Always doing the dirty work for the little Japanese, let me go! I'm going to expose you on Weibo!"

Inside the vast Yueyang Tower scenic area park, since it was winter, there weren't many visitors. The man being dragged forward by Chen Yu, despite his constant shouting, failed to attract much of an audience.

After bringing the man to the park's management office, explaining the situation to the staff, and asking them to call the police, Chen Yu finally let go of the man, who was still cursing and swearing. He just stood at the entrance to the management office, preventing the man from escaping.

Because there was a police station and an office nearby, the police arrived very quickly. Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi didn't have to wait long before two officers showed up.

"What's going on here? Who called the police?" The two officers walked into the management office and saw the man blocked inside. They asked the staff members.

"Officer, you're finally here! I'm reporting that these two are Japanese spies!" However, before the staff could say anything, the man who was cornered in the office suddenly threw himself in front of the officers, clung to one of their legs, and pointed at Chen Yu with a false accuser's face, slandering, "I was just taking pictures of the scenery from Yueyang Tower when I saw these two acting suspiciously and speaking Japanese. They must be Japanese spies! Especially this man, he attacked me when he realized I had discovered them and tried to destroy the evidence!"

"Japanese spies?" The two officers looked at each other, clearly not expecting to encounter such a situation.

However, when they looked at the man clinging to their leg like a mangy dog and then at Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi, who obviously appeared much more cultured standing aside, they didn't quite believe the man's words.

Nevertheless, the country was currently very vigilant about spy cases. Since the matter involved such an issue, they had to take it seriously. They turned to Yu Chen and asked, "Excuse us, but could the two of you please come to the station with us for a statement to clarify the situation?"

Upon hearing the officers' request, Chen Yu suddenly felt a wave of frustration and saw a flash of smugness on the face of the man still clutching the officer's leg, making him feel utterly disgusted, as if he had swallowed a fly.

But he also understood that in such situations, the police would definitely need to take the people back to the station for a statement and questioning. Therefore, he didn't say much, just followed the officers to the station along with Hiromi Jounouchi.

The police station was just across the street from the scenic area. Yu Chen, Hiromi Jounouchi, and the man being pressed down by the two officers arrived at the station together.

Since the incident wasn't significant and Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi were not suspects, they were not taken to the interrogation room. Instead, the questioning of the two began right there in the office.

"Let's hear what happened. How did this turn into a matter of Japanese spies? Are you two Japanese?" An older police officer looked at Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi and shook his head slightly, knowing these two were not at all like spies.

Barling, though a strategic location in ancient times, has long since lost its military significance in modern society—its importance was with respect to the Yangtze River, north, and south. As for Yueyang Tower, it is now a tourist attraction. In ancient times it was an important defensive structure, but who relies on city walls and towers anymore? You never hear about spies visiting tourist spots.

Even if we take ten thousand steps back and assume that Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi really were spies... The old cop glanced at the sleazy-looking man being questioned by his colleague and shook his head speechlessly. If someone like that could tell at a glance that the two individuals in front of him were spies, while he himself could not, the old cop felt that it was time to gouge out his own eyes and use them as fireworks.

"My girlfriend is Japanese, and I am a Chinese working in Japan. We are both surgeons at the medical department of The University of Tokyo's affiliated hospital. We came back together for the New Year holiday, and today I brought my girlfriend to Yueyang Tower to enjoy the good weather," Yu Chen quickly explained their identities and also took out their identification documents.

The old cop took the ID card and passport from Yu Chen, recorded the information, and was already eighty percent convinced by Yu Chen's explanation. However, he still asked, "So how did the conflict arise? And who called the police?"

"I called the police. We were at the third floor of Yueyang Tower, enjoying the view while I took photos of my girlfriend. He was secretly taking pictures on the side. I stopped him and demanded that he deleted the photos, but he acted impatiently and even said that this was 'photographic art' and intended to use my girlfriend's pictures for a photography competition. I just blocked his way and demanded an apology," Yu Chen explained to the old cop while glancing at the man and added, "He seemed very impatient, so I just grabbed his hand, dragged him to the tourist area's management office, and had the staff call the police. The photos have not been deleted from his camera yet; you can check them."

Hearing what Yu Chen said, the old cop nodded, told the other cop who was questioning the man to bring over his camera, and prepared to inspect the camera's contents.

Upon seeing this, the man's expression immediately became frantic. After a swift glance, he began to shout, "Why are you checking my camera! Why don't you arrest those Japanese spies! You just want to cover for them! I'll post on Weibo and expose your ugly faces! The police are colluding with spies to oppress the good guys!"@@novelbin@@

While yelling, the man pulled out his phone from his pocket, pretending to take a picture and even tried to snatch back his camera.

But before he could make a move, another cop standing nearby pushed him back, saying with righteous indignation, "We are the people's police, we act in accordance with the current laws of the state. We will not wrong any good person, nor will we let off any bad person. If you've done nothing wrong, what are you afraid of us checking?"

Pressed down by the police, the man could only look guiltily at the old cop as he started to check his camera, and as soon as the old cop turned on the camera, he immediately tried to run away.

However, no sooner had he gotten up from his chair than he was caught by the police after only a couple of steps.

"Why are you running?" asked the previous cop who had held down the man, genuinely puzzled about why he was trying to escape.

Meanwhile, the old cop was already browsing the photos in his camera. Yu Chen curiously leaned in to take a look and his gaze filled with contempt when he looked back at the man.

Aside from the photos he had secretly taken of Hiromi Jounouchi, there were many other pictures of different women, seemingly taken at some comic exhibition, and most were shot from inappropriate angles, focusing on areas under women's skirts and on their thighs, invasive of their privacy. Some were even obscenely lewd images.
