Chapter 1175: 809 Cherish Life (Add more×5)
After leaving, Yang Ni didn’t come to bother again until the next day at noon, when she decided to fulfill the "host’s duty" to invite the other party for a meal, she then rang Pei Yunxi’s room doorbell.
"Where is Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Chen wasn’t there.
Only Pei Yunxi was in the suite.
"Went to watch the excitement."
Hearing this response, Yang Ni couldn’t help but be puzzled, "Watching what excitement?"
"The black man who attacked me has been found."
"Really?!"
Yang Ni was shocked, and then very delighted, "Where?"
"Kowloon Walled City, the police have already deployed a capture operation."
"Kowloon Walled City?"
Hearing this location, Yang Ni unconsciously frowned, "That place is very chaotic, all sorts of people are there."
Speaking of which, she expressed her concern: "Why would Mr. Jiang go to such a place? Leave the capturing to the police."
"He said he wanted to see the world, I can’t change his decision."
See the world?
Yang Ni couldn’t help but both laugh and cry.
It’s said that a wise man does not stand under a wall that is about to collapse.
A place like the Kowloon Walled City, normal people probably wouldn’t want to go.
But this is also in line with the image she has of him in her heart.
That young man, is indeed unlike others.
"Following the police, there shouldn’t be any problem."
Yang Ni said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang really is a lucky star, as soon as he arrives, the assailant is found."
To this evaluation, Pei Yunxi just slightly smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
"Yang Ni sister, let’s go eat."
"Mhm."
The two actresses went out to dine.
Friendship aside, there are some questions Yang Ni of course wouldn’t ask.
For instance.
Where Boss Jiang spent his night yesterday.
Even in close relationships, it’s important to maintain necessary boundaries, something an adult should understand, let alone in their circle.
With the culprit exposed, all worries gone, Yang Ni was in quite a pleasant mood during the meal.
It’s just that a phone call slightly disrupted the relaxed atmosphere.
"Okay, I’ll come right over."
Pei Yunxi put down the phone.
"What’s wrong?"
Yang Ni inquired.
"The police station wants me to make a trip there."
Yang Ni immediately said: "Is it because the black man has been caught?"
Pei Yunxi looked at her and hummed a confirmation, but it seemed there was more she hadn’t said.
"Is something not right?"
Yang Ni, adept at reading situations, showed a puzzled expression.
The capture of the criminal should be a cause for happiness, but Yun Xi does not seem too joyful.
"That black man, he’s dead."
Yang Ni’s pupils dilated, stunned.
"Yang Ni sister, I need to go to the police station."
Pei Yunxi didn’t elaborate further, or rather, she didn’t know much more.
"I’ll accompany you."
Yang Ni quickly said.
Pei Yunxi didn’t refuse, and the two actresses finished their meal and took the car arranged by the hotel to the Kowloon police station.
"Miss Pei, is this the black man?"
The morgue.
A black man’s body was lying stiff on the bed.
Not to mention Pei Yunxi, at least for Yang Ni, it should be the first time in her life she had seen a dead body with her own eyes.
The body was a bald black man, young in appearance, his face did not look like he died a normal death, the skin twisted as if he had experienced great pain before death.
Besides the head of the police station and the senior police inspector in charge of today’s special capture operation, Jiang Chen was also present.
"It’s him."
Pei Yunxi remained relatively composed, nodded, affirming that the deceased was indeed the perpetrator who attacked her outside the Peninsula Hotel the other day.
"How did he die?"
Yang Ni couldn’t help asking, as a public figure, her psychological quality naturally stronger than that of an average woman.
Could it be that there was an accident during the capture operation?
"When we entered the Kowloon Walled City and found him, he had already shown no signs of life. Mr. Jiang was also present at the scene."
Jiang Chen silently nodded, confirming the senior inspector’s words.
In terms of authority, Gangcheng’s senior inspector holds a higher rank than a district police station chief, comparable to the position of a bureau chief inland.
This indicates the importance Gangcheng’s police force placed on this assault case.
Dead before they arrived?
Yang Ni subconsciously thought of a possibility, "Was it suicide out of guilt?"
Pei Yunxi just quietly looked at the corpse with a fierce death expression, saying nothing.
"To say suicide isn’t quite accurate."
The senior inspector explained: "According to the forensic autopsy, he likely died of a drug overdose."
A drug overdose?
Yang Ni was taken aback.
"He was an addict. In his hideout, we also found a large number of syringes and needles."
Drug addiction not only leads to ruin.
Overdosing can indeed be lethal.
That is common knowledge known to all.
In other words.
The contorted expression on the corpse, was it not actually "pain" but rather "excitement" from overstimulation?
"Miss Pei, since you have confirmed that he is the assailant who attacked you that day, we can consider this case closed."
Indeed.
The assailant is dead, and naturally, the case should be declared closed.
"If there are no issues, please sign here later."
Pei Yunxi glanced at Jiang Chen.
But he wasn’t looking back at her, instead he fixated on the African-American corpse as if the unsightly black face was more attractive than the two female stars at the morgue.
"Okay."
Pei Yunxi nodded.
Confirm the victim’s identity, then follow the procedure to sign.
"Miss Pei, thank you for your support and understanding this time. On behalf of the Gangcheng police, I once again express our sincere apologies for the attack, and we will surely take this as a learning experience to strengthen our security management and prevent such incidents from happening again. Meanwhile, we welcome you to visit again."
The senior police inspector and the head of the police station personally escorted Pei Yunxi and her group to the door.
The assailant got his just desserts, overindulging in drugs leading to his own death, which can be described as reaping what one sows.
This case can be considered to have come to a conclusion that pleases everyone.
However, after getting into the car, Yang Ni couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was not quite right, but she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was.
"Cherish life, stay away from drugs."
The Rolls-Royce started.
Following the police into the Kowloon Walled City, Boss Jiang sighed after watching the excitement that seemed lackluster.
It was just too appropriate for the occasion.
"Not satisfied with the excitement?"
Yang Ni, suppressing the inexplicable feeling inside her, teased.
Jiang Chen let out a light sigh, disinterested, "I would’ve been better off sleeping at the hotel."
"But you expected as much, didn’t you."
Pei Yunxi spoke softly.
"Expected what?"
Yang Ni turned, puzzled.
Jiang Chen chuckled, "I thought there might be a surprise."
Yang Ni was clueless, not understanding the subtext of their conversation, but she wouldn’t rashly inquire.
"Yun Xi, when do you plan to go back?"
Indeed.
The case was over.
It was time to return to the mainland.
"I’ll follow the boss’s arrangement."
Pei Yunxi responded.
At those words, not only did the stunned Yang Ni burst into laughter, even Jiang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle.
After a moment, Yang Ni also couldn’t stop herself from laughing and then looked at Jiang Chen.
"General Jiang, are you going back right away, or do you plan to stay in Gangcheng for a few days? I heard it’s your first visit? If you’d like to look around, I can be your guide."
"What’s the charge?"
"Look at what you’re saying. What’s my relationship with Yun Xi? No charge, just cover room and board."
Amidst the banter, the Rolls-Royce returned to the Peninsula Hotel.
But even before the car stopped, Pei Yunxi sensed something was amiss.
The hotel entrance was unusually oppressive, and the guests coming and going were hurried and tense.
Yang Ni noticed it too.
One could see at the hotel entrance a large group of cold-looking men in black suits, lined up in a row as if from a blockbuster movie.
The open-air parking lot was almost completely filled with uniformly black cars.
"Yun Xi, it isn’t the Xiang Family coming to find you again, is it?"
Yang Ni couldn’t help but say in a low voice, a hint of nervousness in her tone.
There’s a limit to all things.
The couple from the Xiang Family came visiting in succession, extending olive branches which were rejected. If they come again, it likely won’t be with smiling faces.
Jiang Chen opened the door and got out of the car.
Both Yang Ni and Pei Yunxi had no choice but to follow suite, facing the intimidating group of suited hooligans ahead of them, uncertain whether to enter or not.
Suddenly.
From inside the hotel,
a man in his thirties with a commanding presence approached, walking with a purposeful stride, heading directly towards them.
Yang Ni couldn’t help but purse her lips.
"Young Master Jiang."
But unexpectedly.
Upon coming to a stop, he made an unexpected move.
He actually bowed deeply to the young man standing in front of her.
Then.
The intimidating band of suited hooligans at the hotel entrance bowed as one, bending their erect spines.
"Mr. Jiang."
In unison.
Thunderous.
Yang Ni was dumbfounded.
Pei Yunxi showed no emotion.
In the cool lighting, the corners of Jiang Chen’s mouth lifted slightly.
"What’s going on?"
"This is the underworld."
