Chapter 9: Chapter 0009 Where are you looking?_1

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

That day, Ye Xiong had just gotten off work when he was stopped outside the construction site by five men dressed in black suits.

The one in the lead had a scar on his face, arrogance written all over his features.

“You must be Ye Xiong. Someone wants to see you,” Scarface said coldly.

“I’m busy!”

Ye Xiong took one look and knew that the people in front of him were bad news. If he guessed right, they were surely sent by He Haodong. Having spoiled his wedding previously, it was unlikely that He Haodong would let him off the hook.

“Take him!” Scarface took out a pack of cigarettes and casually lit one up.

As Lu Bao’s top enforcer, Scarface felt it was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut to deal with a mere construction worker, and that he had to bring four brothers along. A couple of them would have been enough to take Ye Xiong away.

The cigarette was lit, a cloud of smoke obscuring his view. When his vision cleared, the figure that had been in front of him was gone. Looking down, they all lay on the ground, unconscious.

What the hell is going on here?

Before Scarface could react, something gripped his throat tightly, and Ye Xiong said icily, “Go tell your boss that I don’t want anyone disturbing my life. If there’s a next time, it will be an ugly death for him.”

Snap!

After throwing him to the ground, Ye Xiong strode away.

Scarface coughed desperately and after a long while, he struggled to make a phone call.

At Night City Sauna, Lu Bao was lying in the steam-filled sauna room, enjoying the skills of a beautiful woman.

It had been such a long time since he felt as comfortable and relaxed as he did now. After searching for half a month, they finally found the bastard who ruined Young Master Dong’s wedding—an ordinary construction site worker. He had now sent his proudest henchman, Scarface, to capture him, expecting him to be on his way back by now.

Right then, his phone rang.

“Brother Bao, we messed up. The guy is tough,” the voice of Scarface came from the other end.

“What did you say?”

Lu Bao leaped from the bed, exclaiming in shock, “Five of you couldn’t hold him down?”

“Brother Bao, that guy is no ordinary person. I think even ten men might not be able to handle him,” Scarface said, alarmed.

“You’re a worthless bunch, can’t even handle a trivial matter. Young Master Dong must have his confession tonight, no matter what method you use. If you can’t handle it, get lost!”

After Lu Bao finished speaking, he furiously threw his phone away.

After Scarface hung up, he woke up his several unconscious subordinates and made another phone call.

Noon—Ye Xiong was eating in the cafeteria when his phone rang. It was from Yang Xinyi.

“My dad knows. He wants to meet you,” Yang Xinyi said in her usual calm tone.

“When?”

“Tonight at six. He likes tea, so bring some. You can get reimbursed,” Yang Xinyi said before hanging up the phone.

Just as Ye Xiong was about to buy some tea, a police car parked at the company’s entrance and two officers got out, saying coldly, “Mr. Ye Xiong, we are officers from Jiang City Police Station. My name is Xu Da, and this is my colleague Xia Yu. We suspect you are involved in a case and need you to come back with us to assist in the investigation.”

So they’re trying the official way now, huh!

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Ye Xiong’s mouth, thinking that He Haodong really wanted him dead.

If it were just thugs, Ye Xiong would undoubtedly have taken action, but hitting a cop would complicate matters.

Xu Da approached to handcuff Ye Xiong.

Ye Xiong’s brow furrowed and a surge of killing intent came forth as he said, “I can go back with you to assist in the investigation, but before you find out the truth, are you qualified to put this on me?”

This sudden release of killing intent made Xu Da and Xia Yu’s pores stand on end. From a mere construction worker came an air of danger so intense, it was as if they were facing an apocalyptic death god.

“Once you’re in the station, you will wish you cooperated,” Xu Da thought to himself with a cold snort.

Ye Xiong took out his phone to make a call. The two officers wanted to stop him, but were intimidated by his piercing gaze, and no one dared to speak.

“I’ve been taken by Jiang City Police Station to record a statement. I’m not sure when I can get out,” Ye Xiong told Yang Xinyi over the phone.

“I’ll send someone to help you,” Yang Xinyi replied, then hung up.

An hour later, Jiang City Police Station interrogation room!

Ye Xiong was locked in the dark room with handcuffs on, and Xu Da and Xia Yu sat across from him.

“Do you know your crime?” Xu Da sat across from him, sneering.

“I don’t understand what crime I have committed,” Ye Xiong answered coldly.

“Using Photoshop to frame others, you think we don’t know?” Xu Da slammed the file in front of him and said coldly, “Be smart and sign it.”

Ye picked up the file from the table and read through it carefully, unable to suppress a laugh.

The document basically stated that out of envy for the wealthy, he had manipulated a video using Photoshop to slander He Haodong, the executive president of He Group, and they wanted him to confess to this crime.

It seems that He Haodong doesn’t know yet that Yang Xinyi married him, pathetic!

“I can’t sign this.”

Bang!

Xu Da punched the table hard and yelled at him, “Don’t think by not talking you can avoid being punished. Let me tell you, I can put you behind bars in a minute.”

“I’ve eaten all kinds of food in my life, but I’ve indeed never had prison food,” Ye Xiong said sarcastically.

Xia Yu pressed down a switch on the table and said, “The CCTV is already off now. Even if we beat you to internal bleeding, nobody would know.”

Xu Da walked around the table toward Ye Xiong, getting ready to strike.

Ye Xiong, who had been sitting, suddenly grabbed his hand and slammed his entire head onto the desk with force, immediately causing blood to stream down his face.

Xia Yu was startled and about to draw his gun when Ye Xiong pounced on him, flipped him over to the ground, and pounded his fist onto his nose, collapsing it entirely and causing blood to pour out.

In a split second, one person had a broken forehead, the other a smashed nose, both disarmed of their ability to resist.

That was Ye Xiong holding back; had he struck with full force, none would have survived.

After taking both of their guns, Ye Xiong calmly sat back down in his seat.

“Kid, you’re dead meat.”

The two struggled to their feet and stumbled into the interrogation room, bleeding and bruised.

Ye Xiong placed the two guns on the desk, not the least bit worried. With his status, Phoenix definitely wouldn’t let him go to jail; even if Phoenix didn’t intervene, Yang Xinyi wouldn’t let her newly married husband end up behind bars.

Xu Da and Xia Yu scrambled out of the interrogation room in a panic and headed straight for the deputy director’s office.

Luo Weiwei was discussing a case with two of her subordinates when the door burst open and in staggered the two battered officers.

“What happened?” Luo Weiwei asked in shock.

“We just arrested a suspect and were questioning him in the interrogation room when that guy suddenly assaulted the police.”

“Didn’t you put handcuffs on him? He dared to attack, didn’t you shoot him dead?” Luo Weiwei said angrily.

“He took our guns!” Xu Da said weakly.

“What, your gun is in his hands?” Luo Weiwei was startled.

“Mine too,” Xia Yu said just as meekly.

Luo Weiwei was nearly driven mad with frustration. Two officers in an interrogation room were disarmed by a handcuffed suspect, losing all face. If the suspect managed to get out and shoot anyone in the station, it would be a disaster, an incident she couldn’t be responsible for.

“Where is he now?”

“He should still be in the interrogation room,” they replied.

Luo Weiwei left her work behind and strode towards the interrogation room. Seeing her colleagues working normally along the way assured her that the assailant was still inside, which eased her nerves.

Luo Weiwei took a deep breath. It was the first time in her life she faced such a serious situation, and she kept telling herself to remain calm, to stay absolutely calm.

“Chief, are you going in there just like that?” Xu Da asked worriedly.

“What, you want to go in?” Luo Weiwei shot him a glare.

Xu Da quickly backed off several steps. He had witnessed the guy’s strength firsthand and knew he was not someone to be trifled with.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A group of officers flooded in, their guns aimed directly into the interrogation room.

Seeing a group of police officers pointing their guns at him, Ye Xiong quickly raised his hands and shouted, “Don’t shoot, I’ll confess to anything you want, I admit all charges!”

Recognizing his familiar behavior and hearing his familiar voice, Luo Weiwei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. What on earth was this guy up to? She went over and checked the guns on the table, not a single bullet missing. She handed them back to Xu Da and Xia Yu, scolding, “Idiots, take them back.”

Xu Da and Xia Yu hurried over to retrieve their weapons.

“Everyone out, I want to talk to him.”

“Chief,” they began.

“Get out!” Luo Weiwei ordered.

The officers all cleared out, leaving only Ye Xiong and Luo Weiwei in the interrogation room.

“A motorcycle over a sedan, wires picking handcuffs, you even managed to beat up two of my men while handcuffed. Don’t tell me you’re just a construction worker,” Luo Weiwei said with a gaze both amused and angry as she looked at Ye Xiong.

With such skills, during that day he was chased by a gunman, he surely would not have been as terrified as he appeared to be, probably just taking advantage to cop a feel, right?

“Comrade police beauty, I really am a construction worker. If you don’t believe me, you can ask around; I’ve been doing it for half a year,” Ye Xiong said, his gaze drifting to Luo Weiwei’s provocative form, unable to help looking every time he saw her.

“Where are your eyes wandering?” Luo Weiwei glared at him furiously.

“Scenery,” Ye Xiong retorted.

Bang!

Her fist came down hard on the table as Luo Weiwei said sternly, “Dare to say that one more time!”

Ye Xiong was speechless and murmured, “It’s not illegal to look, and it certainly won’t get you pregnant.”

Luo Weiwei barely restrained the impulse to pull her gun and blow him away, sitting down to say, “I’ll overlook the car incident for now, but for assaulting a police officer and taking a gun, those two charges are enough to put you behind bars.”

“Beauty, I didn’t attack an officer, I am a law-abiding citizen,” Ye Xiong protested.

“The surveillance recorded it all very clearly, and you still want to argue,” Luo Weiwei countered.

“If you don’t believe it, you can check the surveillance,” Ye Xiong said nonchalantly.

Just then, an officer came in and reported, “Chief, Lawyer Wu Changchun has arrived to bail out Ye Xiong.”

“Tell him that Ye Xiong is suspected of assaulting an officer and cannot be bailed out,” Luo Weiwei said angrily.

“Chief, I just went to the surveillance department and found out the feed was cut, nothing was recorded of him assaulting the police.”

“Who cut the feed?” Luo Weiwei demanded.

“Officer Xu Da,” came the answer.
