Chapter 609: Talking to Smart People Is So Effortless
“Then, I shall thank you for the reminder, Captain Tang,” said Sheng Xiao with a deep voice. “But you didn’t call me suddenly just for my Qi’er’s matter, right?”
“Talking to smart people is so effortless.”
In fact, apart from alerting Sheng Xiao, Tang Yan was planning to use him to get Ye Jingcheng to cooperate with the police.
Since some of the matters were private, the police could not interfere. But letting Sheng Xiao know about what Ye Jingcheng did to Mu Qiqi was better than Mu Qiqi hiding it from him.
“I’ll inform you the next time we meet, Captain Tang.”
If Lin Mu’an was a lion yet to reach its maturity, Tang Yan was definitely a fully-matured fierce tiger. Although the paths they took were different, they were both solid forces he could befriend.
Since Qi’er was working under him, she would need Tang Yan’s protection in the future. Therefore, Sheng Xiao decided to do him the favor. That aside, didn’t Ye Jingcheng try to smash a flowerpot on his sweetheart’s head?
After hanging up the phone, Sheng Xiao dialled an internal number. “Xu Che.”
“Yes, chief.” Xu Che had just come back. He was sorting the information he had gathered about Ye Jingcheng just now.
“Do something for me,” said Sheng Xiao. “Send my greetings to the Ye family.”
“Okay.” Xu Che nodded.
“Also, I need you to prepare something for me.”
…
Mu Qiqi did not know Sheng Xiao had interfered in the matter. After the old couple had cried enough, she went to the rest area in the police station with Feng Shanshan.
The old couple were currently answering questions from the policemen.
Looking at them, Mu Qiqi felt sad. They had finally gained a son at old age but now he was gone. What hope would they have in the future?
“I wonder what Tang Yan said to them.”
Hearing Feng Shanshan mumble, Mu Qiqi knew that she was very worried about their lives in the future.
She was such a person, outspoken but soft-hearted.
“You’re curious about what Captain Tang said to the old couple?”
“Yes.” Feng Shanshan nodded honestly. She had a naughty idea in her head; she wanted to go and take a look at Tang Yan in the resting room now.
Perhaps Mu Qiqi read her expression since she knew what it felt like, so she said, “Just go. I’ll keep a watch out for you.”
“You’re an expert, eh?” Feng Shanshan chuckled. After making sure there was no one around, she sneaked into the humble police resting room.
Tang Yan lay on the bed, sleeping.
As Feng Shanshan was approaching him quietly and wanting to sit beside Tang Yan, she was startled by his voice.
“What are you here for? I can’t rest well with you here.”
“I just want to know what you said to the old couple. Aren’t you afraid that they might kill themselves?”
Tang Yan closed his eyes and kept mum. Feng Shanshan thought he had fallen asleep.
But when she was about to leave, he said, “Some people might have flashy lives on the surface, but these people are very fragile and vulnerable. On the contrary, those people who seem weak have stronger hearts than you can imagine. Because their challenging lives taught them to be resilient.”
“When there’s time, let’s go and visit the old couple. I have asked them to be my G.o.dparents.”
Feng Shanshan suddenly understood Tang Yan’s life story and how he became so deep. Perhaps he had seen and experienced enough to make him into what he was like now.
“Do you always do this when facing this kind of situation?”
“I’m currently sponsoring six or so families. Does it matter to have one more family? Now that you’ve got the answer, get out.”
Feng Shanshan nodded and got up. “Rest well.”
But when she was at the door, the corner of her lips unconsciously curled upward.
Although Tang Yan was a man with many weaknesses and his behavior was weird, he was still a true hero.
Even though other people might not see him as one, at least she would.
…
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Papa Ye went to Ye Holdings and told Ye Jingcheng that he received a greeting from Sheng Xiao saying that he wanted to visit them.
Ye Jingcheng thought that Mu Qiqi was indeed Sheng Xiao’s treasure as rumored.
“Father, no matter what his intention is, I will treat him nicely. Don’t worry.”
“I know you are angry because of Mu Tangxue, but now that she still hasn’t been found, you must be careful. We can even offend the Sheng family but we must not mess with Sheng Xiao. Since he wants to come in person, it must mean that you have made him angry.”
“I know, Father,” Ye Jingcheng answered calmly.
“Are the policemen still here?”
“Yes. That employee was killed. So, before the case is solved, the police will keep coming to Ye Holdings.”
“You should make proper arrangements. The Gu family is one good example. You must cooperate with the police and not cause any scandal that brings shame to Ye Holdings.”
“I know, Father.”
“Also, don’t offend the policeman surnamed Tang in the criminal investigation team. He is not an easygoing person. He will fight with you until the end if you irritate him.”
Unexpectedly, Tang Yan was so famous.
“Don’t worry, Father.”
After Papa Ye finished advising his son, he left quickly. After all, he had handed over the family business to his son, so he had no reason not to trust him.
At five o’clock sharp, Sheng Xiao’s car stopped in front of Ye Holdings.
Sheng Xiao had already been informed that his Xiao Qi’er was at the police station now.
Ye Jingcheng immediately came to welcome him. “Welcome, Chief Sheng. Your name is always heard in this city. It’s my pleasure meeting you for the first time.”
“You’re too humble, CEO Ye.”
“This way, please.” Ye Jingcheng led him into the office.
Xu Che followed closely behind Sheng Xiao to protect him. Just by looking at him, Ye Jingcheng knew he was a very skillful man. Perhaps he would not lose against Tang Yan should they fight. Sheng Xiao was indeed very good at choosing his men.
Soon, they arrived at the reception room for VIPs. Ye Jingcheng quickly asked his secretary to make some tea. “So what brings you here today, Chief Sheng?”
“Don’t be so nervous, CEO Ye. I’ve come for a private matter. I know you are looking for Mu Tangxue. Just wondering if you have any clue about her whereabouts?”
Sheng Xiao went straight to the topic, making Ye Jingcheng unable to guess what Sheng Xiao was trying to do.
So, he laughed. “Could it be that Qiqi, the petty girl, has complained to you?”
“She still hasn’t called me today. I just feel that as a good citizen, it is not good for CEO Ye not to cooperate with the police in the investigation just because of some trivial private conflict. How about this? You give me face and come to me whenever you face a problem. After all, I have been the one handling the matter of Mu Tangxue all along. It’s inappropriate for you to go to my wife and delay the work of the police, right?”
