Chapter 610: Sheng Xiao Was So Merciless!
“Look, it was just a small matter. You didn’t even have to come here in person, Chief Sheng. Just a phone call would have been sufficient.” Ye Jingcheng laughed, trying to match Sheng Xiao’s professionalism. However, he was still too tender in front of Sheng Xiao.
Because Sheng Xiao had already found his weakness, Mu Tangxue, the moment he arrived!
Until now, he could not find Mu Tangxue. This did not rule out the possibility that Mu Tangxue was in Sheng Xiao’s hands.
Tang Yan was right. Even if he had a deep hatred toward Mu Qiqi, he could not offend her. If Mu Tangxue was really in Sheng Xiao’s hands, she would suffer even more.
In fact, even Tang Yan was a person who he could mess with.
If it was not Mu Qiqi who told Sheng Xiao about the matter, it must have been Tang Yan.
“Since you’re so straightforward, great. I will help you to look into Mu Tangxue’s whereabouts.”
“Then I shall thank you in advance.”
“I heard that you have come back just recently. If you need anything, just come to Zhongteng. Since we’ve done talking, it’s time for me to go.”
“I’ll see you out.”
In just a few words, Sheng Xiao had already made his point and att.i.tude clear. Ye Jingcheng found it impossible to follow his pace.
No wonder Mu Qiqi changed so much in these two years. With such a powerful tutor by her side, of course she could do anything she wanted.
And he knew that it was impossible for him to make Mu Qiqi submit to him if he continued threatening the police. He had to think of another way to look for Mu Tangxue. Threatening the police was not a good plan in the first place, since a murder case had happened in the staff dormitory.
Sheng Xiao went in for only five minutes. When he was leaving, he asked Xu Che, “Done?”
“Don’t worry, Chief.”
At least, he could make Ye Jingcheng’s heart race on the way back!
After sending Sheng Xiao off, Ye Jingcheng went back into his office using his personal lift. But just as he stepped into the lift, the light started to flicker and the lift began to shake crazily.
Ye Jingcheng remained motionless, fearing any movement would cause the lift to fall.
He could not get the door open and there was no signal in the lift, so he quickly called the police.
It took almost half an hour to open the door of the lift.
Ye Jingcheng stood in the lift miserably. How unlucky, he thought, after meeting Sheng Xiao. Sheng Xiao was indeed so merciless when getting revenge for Mu Qiqi for the flowerpot incident.
…
In the evening, when Tang Yan was about to head over to Ye Holdings again, his subordinates informed him that Ye Jingcheng had become more cooperative and polite. Also, he heard that Sheng Xiao had paid him a visit this afternoon.
So, leaving this kind of thing to Sheng Xiao was an effortless way to get it done.
“Any progress?
“Cheng Yunfeng is really a very hardworking young man. His compet.i.tor for the promotion is an old staff member, Li Zhe. We have already talked to him. He was playing with his children that night. His alibi is solid, so Cheng Yunfeng’s death should have nothing to do with him.”
“Anything else?” Tang Yan asked.
“We’ve asked the staff. They are not allowed to go to the rooftop. There is no CCTV there. And since it happened early in the morning, it means that anyone could have done it. Without any clues, it’s difficult for us to identify the suspects. There are more than a thousand employees in Ye Holdings.”
“So, we will have to start from Cheng Yunfeng’s interpersonal network. Anyway, have you found out the origin of the rope?” Tang Yan asked while walking toward Ye Holdings.
“That rope is very common in the factory of Ye Holdings. Apart from Cheng Yunfeng’s DNA, there is nothing to be suspicious about.”
Tang Yan did not say anything and went to the crime scene.
Cheng Yunfeng was tied up and dropped from the tall building. A certain height and strength were necessary to enable the murderer to carry a man of seventy kilos to this place. Moreover, he must be educated to a certain degree. At the very least, he must have some counter-reconnaissance knowledge.
With these characteristics, they could already start screening for suspects among the staff.
So, Tang Yan went to Ye Jingcheng’s office again. “Excuse me.”
“I wonder what you need this time, Captain Tang.”
“Your staff list and their detailed resumes,” said Tang Yan. “If possible, please give us the CCTV footage.”
“Well, I can provide you all these. I don’t know that Captain Tang has a connection to a big figure like Sheng Xiao.” Ye Jingcheng sounded very sarcastic.
However, Tang Yan was not affected by the provocation and said, “If you cooperated from the beginning, everything would have been simple.”
“I will get my men to prepare what you need later.”
“Thank you.” Tang Yan wanted to leave right away, but Ye Jingcheng stopped him.
“I wonder if restricting a person’s freedom of movement is illegal.”
Tang Yan knew what he was implying, so, he answered flatly, “Show me the evidence first.”
“What a shame that Captain Tang does not side with me.”
“I don’t belong to any side. My only duty is to solve the case.”
Tang Yan was confident and he spoke mercilessly. The feeling he gave people was different from what Sheng Xiao gave. He was ruthless. He could fight until the end with you in order to solve a case. He could go all out and give you no s.p.a.ce to breathe at all. And he could not tolerate any criminal behaviors.”
If Tang Yan and Sheng Xiao were friends, this combo would definitely be very scary.
…
Late at night, Sheng Xiao went to the police station to pick Mu Qiqi up. The moment he saw her, he hugged her tightly and asked, “Don’t you have something to tell me?”
Mu Qiqi thought for a while. When she looked into his eyes, she knew that he must have known about it. “I was nearly hit by a flowerpot.”
“What do I usually teach you?”
“Of course I won’t take the loss easily. Xiaoxiao, my ident.i.ty does not allow me to take a tooth for a tooth. But it does not mean that I will not remember this. I will get the chance eventually.”
“I’ve already taught him a lesson for you.” Sheng Xiao pushed Mu Qiqi’s head with a finger. “Why should I wait for you to get the chance?”
“You met with Ye Jingcheng already?”
“Your team leader called me personally. I should at least do him a favor,” explained Sheng Xiao.
“You mean, Tang Yan? How did he get your number?”
“It’s an easy task for him.” Sheng Xiao leaned on the cus.h.i.+on while holding his woman. “He is a rather interesting person.”
“You’re interested in him?” Mu Qiqi asked.
“He can protect you.”
Tang Yan and Sheng Xiao would meet in the future. After such a pleasant collaboration, they would become more familiar and have good rapport with each other.
Weren’t they doing it for the women in their respective arms?
