"This is..."Murong stared at the screen over Ye Fei"s shoulder and gasped when she saw the contents of the doc.u.ment.
These were records of drug trafficking in the Burning Bar!
"Unbelievable…" Ye Fei clapped his hands in excitement. He only accidentally stole this flash drive, which would become Fire Dragon"s undoing!
Drug trafficking was a major felony in China, and the accounts showed a truly alarming volume of product. This guy was a real drug lord!
The government would put great importance on apprehending someone like that.
"This… This is crazy!"
Murong squeezed Ye Fei"s shoulder. "Ye Fei, you"ve really outdone yourself! With this in our hands, Fire Dragon is headed straight to jail. We"ll put his whole trafficking network behind bars, too."
"Take it! I don"t deserve the credit, it"s yours," Ye Fei said without hesitation.
He was not a "government employee" anymore. Even if he made a contribution, he couldn"t get anything for it.
But things were different for Murong. If she were the one to bust Fire Dragon and his a.s.sociates, she would be guaranteed a promotion and a rain of commendations and medals.
"But I don"t want to steal your credit..." she said shyly.
Ye Fei shook his head and handed her the flash disk. "I"m giving it to you. Be careful but do it quickly, so that Fire Dragon has no time to prepare. Manager Lin looks a little tired, so I will take her back to the apartment now. Remember, this had nothing to do with me or Manager Lin."
Murong nodded, "I understand. I"ll keep you out of the record, for Sister Qingwan"s safety."
After that, she put the evidence in her pocket and strutted away victoriously.
Ye Fei escorted Lin Qingwan out.
He was going to take her to the apartment to rest, but she was determined to go to the company offices first.
President Xue Bing had just died for no apparent reason, so Lin Qingwan believed that the company would be in chaos and that she"d have a lot of fires to put out.
Ye Fei could only follow her instructions.
Since Lin Qingwan"s BMW was parked in front of the Burning Bar, there was no way for Ye Fei to get it back now. Fire Dragon would be waiting for him there.
Therefore, they had to call a taxi. Lin Qingwan looked very relaxed on the way there, humming an American pop song to herself. It seemed like the morning"s events did not leave any psychological scars on her heart.
"Manager Lin, you look… happy." Ye Fei looked at Lin Qingwan quizzically.
"Of course. I was constantly worried about the videos these past few days. I had to be careful at all times; I was even afraid to stand next to a window. Whenever I saw a shadow in the corner of my eye, I thought I was done for. But now Xue Bing is dead and Fire Dragon is also about to be finished, I feel like I finally get to relax," she said cheerfully.
"But Manager Lin," Ye Fei said grimly, "Fire Dragon and Xue Bing may not be the ones who sent the shooter after you."
Lin Qingwan stared at him incredulously. "What do you mean? It wasn"t them?"
"You yourself said that Xue Bing was a coward. He couldn"t have been the one who employed the shooter. Fire Dragon also couldn"t have been the one who hired the shooter. He had the videos, so he was planning to blackmail you. Why would he want you dead?" Ye Fei said.
Lin Qingwan immediately became nervous again. "You mean... another person wants to kill me? Who is it...? Just tell me who it is!"
"I don"t know yet, but I"m sure I can find out soon," Ye Fei said. "You"ll be fine as long as I"m there to protect you, but you can"t go anywhere else once you"re done at the office. It"s a good thing I arrived in time to save you this morning, or the consequences would be unimaginable."
Lin Qingwan pouted, but after a while, she whispered, "Fine, I know, I won"t."
She looked like a child who did something wrong. There was no trace of her good mood left, but Ye Fei had no other choice. Her actions that morning had been extremely risky, and she hadn"t been worried about the consequences at all.
Ye Fei still needed her money for his comrades" families, so he had to keep her safe. And besides, he found that Lin Qingwan was pretty cute.
The company was indeed in chaos when they finally reached the offices. Lin Qingwan immediately summoned the company"s management to a meeting.
This time, Xue Bing was not here, and Ye Fei was standing behind Lin Qingwan, scanning the executive"s nervous faces.
Xue Bing was dead and people were tense. They were afraid of what Lin Qingwan was going to do next.
Lin Qingwan really was a managerial savant. She did not take the opportunity to criticize them, but offered them an olive branch. They were certainly more willing to listen to her now and pledged their cooperation on the spot.
Lin Qingwan had originally planned to have a company dinner with the management that night, but seeing as the company president was dead and no one knew why, she decided this probably wasn"t the right time for a business meal.
After grabbing a quick bite to eat outside, Lin Qingwan and Ye Fei headed back to the apartment.
Liu Manman hadn"t gone out that night. She was sitting on the couch, watching TV with a bucket of popcorn in her lap.
She gave Ye Fei a merciless glare when she saw him come in, then smiled to Lin Qingwan, "Sister Qingwan, you"re finally back."
Ye Fei gave Liu Manman a meaningful look. Neither of them mentioned anything about what happened at the Burning Bar last night.
"Yeah, I"ve had a crazy day. I"m beat." Lin Qingwan walked over and threw herself on the sofa beside Liu Manman.
She found that Liu Manman was not watching her usual Korean dramas or talk shows. She was actually watching local Shanghai news.
Murong appeared on the screen in her police uniform, leading a team of policemen to the Burning Bar to arrest Fire Dragon.
