Chapter 116: 0116 Negotiation_1



“Get up!”

Luo Weiwei grabbed a file folder and fiercely slammed it onto his head.

“Are you trying to knock me stupid so you can take care of me in your next life?” Ye Xiong leapt up and cursed.

Luo Weiwei had no time for his nonsense and urgently demanded, “Where did you get the list from? Who is the kidnapper’s next target?”

A barrage of questions came raining down on him.

Ye Xiong shook his phone and said, “The list is in my phone—seventy toys in total, twenty-three have already been shipped out, thirty were saved by our famous detective Miss Luo Weiwei, and there are twenty-seven targets still being pursued.”

Luo Weiwei hastily reached for his phone.

Ye Xiong quickly withdrew his hand, pocketing the phone out of fear that Luo Weiwei would grab it, and hid it in his crotch. Only then did he smile at Police Chief Huang Weifu standing beside him.

Huang Weifu, an old slick, knew Ye Xiong wanted something and said, “What do you want? Just say it, and as long as it’s within my power, I’ll consider it.”

“Chief, your yellow squad raided my hotel this morning, arrested six prostitutes and six clients, and shut down my hotel on the grounds of providing sexual services. Have you heard about this?” Ye Xiong asked.

“Hold on, let me check.” After saying that, Huang Weifu walked to one side and made a phone call.

A short while later, Huang Weifu returned, his expression somewhat grim.

“The vice squad says there was a report against your hotel. They caught them red-handed with complete evidence. This might not be so easy to deal with,” Huang Weifu said with a troubled look.

“You’re the police chief, right?”

“Of course.”

“And the vice squad is under your command, right?”

“Yes, it’s under my command, but…”

“But nothing. If there really were prostitution in my own hotel, wouldn’t I know about it?” The previously relaxed Ye Xiong suddenly rose in anger, stood up swiftly, and exclaimed, “Just past six o’clock, your vice squad wasn’t even at work yet when they went to the hotel to make arrests. Usually, when we call the police, it takes forever for anyone to show up, but this time they were so eager. If there’s no problem, that would be the real surprise.”

“Someone made a report, so naturally, we had to respond immediately,” Huang Weifu said, sounding embarrassed.

“I won’t say much more, but no matter what you do, my hotel cannot be shut down, not even for a routine inspection. That’s my condition. If that can’t be met, then there’s no point in discussing,” Ye Xiong stated bluntly.

Huang Weifu was immediately put in a difficult position.

Seeing this, Ye Xiong stood up abruptly and walked out without a word.

“Ye Xiong, stop right there,” Luo Weiwei had been holding back from speaking, but when she saw Ye Xiong start to leave, she quickly blocked his way.

“Do you have any idea how important the information in your hand is? It’s about the safety of more than twenty children. With that list, we can prepare in advance and save countless lives. How can you just walk away from something so serious, do you even have a conscience?”

“I’m not that noble, just a small guy, and I live off the modest income from that hotel,” Ye Xiong said with a cold-blooded demeanor, his attitude firm.

“Chief, tackling vice is a minor issue, but human lives are a major one!” Luo Weiwei had no choice but to turn back and plead with Huang Weifu.

“Ye Xiong, as a member of the public, if you have information and don’t report it…”

“Enough, don’t give me that routine. Just tell me, can you do it or not?”

“Not dealing with it at all, that’s definitely not possible, but if it’s just a warning, that can be done,” Huang Weifu gave in, feeling he had no other alternative.

“How you deal with it is your business, just make sure my hotel stays open. That’s all I need,” Ye Xiong said.

“I promise you.”

Seeing Huang Weifu agree, Ye Xiong finally handed over the list. When the entire list was printed out, Luo Weiwei was visibly thrilled.

“Where did you get this information?” Luo Weiwei asked.

“I got it from He Mengji. After He Haodong died, He Mengji probably found it among his belongings.”

“So important a thing, and it’s related to He Haodong’s reputation. Would He Mengji give it to you?” Luo Weiwei was a bit surprised.

“Bro’s charm isn’t something you’re experiencing for the first time.”

Luo Weiwei rolled her eyes at him and muttered, “Haven’t seen you around lately, you must have been off wooing He Mengji. What’s the situation now, have you already tumbled in the sheets?”

Ahem!

Hearing her words, Huang Weifu, who was nearby, felt his face grow a bit red, and he couldn’t help but cough as a reminder.

Only then did Luo Weiwei remember that the Director was still around and gave Ye Xiong a harsh glare.

It was just lunchtime, and Ye Xiong was dragged out by Luo Weiwei under the pretense of discussing the case, to have lunch and be interrogated.

As soon as he stepped out the door, Ye Xiong noticed Du Yuehua was still waiting for him and hurried over to him as he came out.

“How are things going?” Du Yuehua asked anxiously.

“The Chief has spoken, it should be fine now.”

“That’s great!”

In her excitement, Du Yuehua almost reached out for Ye Xiong’s hand, but then she remembered Luo Weiwei beside them and quickly drew back, saying awkwardly, “Weiwei, so you’re here too!”

“So I do exist in your eyes. I thought the only person you saw was this jerk,” Luo Weiwei said unhappily.

Her comment made Du Yuehua’s face turn even redder, and she smiled awkwardly.

“Sister Hua, Weiwei is about to treat me to a meal. Would you like to join us?” Ye Xiong asked.

“Won’t I be interrupting your important discussion?”

“There’s no bloody important discussion. We’re not going to 7 Days or Home Inn.”

“Who did you just say is treating to lunch?” Luo Weiwei said angrily.

“I’ve done you such a big favor, if you don’t treat, should I?”

“Alright, alright, I’ll pay for this meal.” Du Yuehua quickly stepped in as she saw the two of them facing off again.

The place where they ate was a restaurant nearby the police station.

Since Du Yuehua and Luo Weiwei had known each other for a while and were fairly familiar, there wasn’t much awkwardness.

“Weiwei, I just heard at the door that you’re going to be promoted to squad leader?” Du Yuehua suddenly asked.

“Just a regular promotion. Whether I can get it depends on the organization’s decision,” Luo Weiwei replied.

“Once you get on TV, things really do change,” Ye Xiong praised, smiling, “Weiwei is probably going to be Huadu City’s youngest criminal police squad leader ever. Such a big event, how can we not celebrate?”

“Not even one stroke of the eight characters has been drawn yet!”

“It’s a done deal; it can’t be escaped. Why wait for a time when today is as good as any? Tonight, you should treat us to drinks,” Ye Xiong suggested.

“You think I’m like you, each of you being filthy rich,” Luo Weiwei scolded.

“Sister Hua owns a hotel, it’d be hurtful to talk about money”

“We’ve already planned to drink tonight anyway, celebrating that the hotel escaped misfortune. Weiwei, you should come over tonight too!” Du Yuehua suggested.

“I’ll see how things go. If there’s nothing else, I’ll come by.”

After the meal, the three of them walked out of the restaurant.

“Sister Hua, you go back to the hotel first. I still have some things to take care of,” Ye Xiong said.

“What things?” Du Yuehua asked.

“Just some minor matters. Don’t worry about it, and get tonight’s celebration ready!”

Du Yuehua nodded and drove off, vaguely guessing that Ye Xiong might be going to settle the score with those who had set up the hotel.
