Chapter 83: 083 Ye Wanlan: You’ve really annoyed me 【1 update】

The old lady was a shrewd one; she could tell at a glance that this group of people was far from ordinary, and naturally, she was determined to latch onto them and not let go.

Otherwise, even if they received the compensation from the factory and the insurance payout, they wouldn’t be able to save their family members’ lives.

"I don’t care how you plan to clear your uncle’s name, you must also save the others!" the old lady cried louder, "Isn’t that right, everyone? Otherwise, why would it be only your family that’s being framed?"

Her words indeed won the support of the other family members.

"Yes, that’s right, we are the biggest victims."

"Even though they say the suspect is going to be locked up in the interrogation room, his body is still fine and well..."

Yan Tingfeng said coldly, "Unrelated personnel, leave."

Bing He and Tie Ma immediately stepped forward, blocking the old lady and the others out.

The old lady struggled desperately and even prepared to fake a fall to commit fraud, but Tie Ma was quick to see through her intent and immediately withdrew his hand.

The door closed, cutting off the sound.

Yan Tingfeng turned his head, his voice finally softening, "This has nothing to do with you."

"I know, it’s not my responsibility, and I can’t blame myself for this," Ye Wanlan said indifferently, "But saving them is definitely necessary. Innocent lives shouldn’t be involved; separate issues should be dealt with separately."

In her past life, she had gone incognito and encountered even more unreasonable rabble-rousers; she was already accustomed to dealing with such matters.

The love of an emperor benefits the people.

But the wrath of an emperor could also lead to rivers of blood.

Both methods are indispensable; without them, one cannot deter the petty and protect the common folk.

Yan Tingfeng seemed momentarily stunned; after a few seconds, he smiled, "I’m relieved if Miss Ye can think this way."

The police station quieted down, as even the staff came over to thank Yan Tingfeng.

Otherwise, with the commotion outside, they wouldn’t be able to work at all tonight.

But who exactly were these few individuals?

Jiang Zhengxue was chatting with Khor Peiqing, relating several interesting stories to help calm Khor Peiqing’s nerves.

"Auntie, it’s going to be okay, trust me; uncle will definitely be released tonight," Jiang Zhengxue continued to comfort Khor Peiqing, "Why don’t you take a nap first?"

Khor Peiqing nodded, her nerves that had been taut for hours finally relaxing and she quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Wenli finally spoke, "What... what did you just call my mother?"

Was there really a need to rush things?

"Oh," Jiang Zhengxue paused and straightened her fingers, appearing very obedient, "I just followed Sister Lan’s lead; you don’t mind, do you?"

Lin Wenli: "..."

Would it matter if he did?

After some time, Professor Yuwen also hurried over, "What’s happened? Why did everyone come to the police station for a team-building exercise today?"

He had only taken a brief journey in the physical universe, so how had the sky changed when he opened his eyes?

"Uncle Yuwen, come here," Rong Yu hurriedly pulled him aside, "Student Ye’s family has run into some trouble; someone maliciously caused a leak of chemical elements at the chemical plant, and now all the evidence points to Student Ye’s uncle."

"What?" Professor Yuwen was both shocked and angry, "Who would do such a despicable thing? Wait, I’ll contact my old buddy; he’s a chemist and can finally come in handy."

Before Rong Yu could stop him, Professor Yuwen dialed a number.

But before he could even speak, the other party answered urgently, "Whatever it is, wait a bit; I’m at Bureau 723 right now with an emergency, we’ll chat later!"

The call was hung up.

Professor Yuwen was a bit baffled, "What’s with this old guy running off to Bureau 723? He hasn’t gone and created some sort of large-scale biological weapon and gotten invited for tea, has he?"

Rong Yu: "..."

Such wild guesses; are they really buddies?

It wasn’t about going for tea; he was simply invited by Bureau 723 to partake in remote case analysis.

An hour later, at 9:30 PM, one minute shy of Yan Tingfeng’s final deadline, Bureau 723 finally transmitted all evidence and information.

"With this information, we can conclusively determine that this incident was masterminded solely by Qin Xian with the intent to frame Mr. Lin Huaijin," Bing He continued his report, "We’re only missing one small clue; someone has already been sent to the Qin Family to retrieve it. Once the evidence chain is complete, it’s a death sentence for him."

Yan Tingfeng’s slender fingers continued toying with the Jade Token, his voice neither light nor heavy, "Too slow."

Bing He wiped a bead of sweat.

It was unclear whether Qin Xian was inspired by mystery novels, but the layout of his scheme this time was truly meticulous.

Had they overlooked the most important part, Qin Xian might indeed have managed to escape.

Unfortunately for him, Bureau 723 was on the case this time.

Ye Wanlan pinched her fingers and stood up, "I’m going out for a bit."

Bing He was taken aback, "It’s so late, where is Miss Ye going?"

Without answering, Ye Wanlan’s figure had already disappeared from the doorway.

Yan Tingfeng smiled leisurely, "To kill."

Bing He: "???"

"Yeah, too much." Yan Tingfeng kindly added another sentence, "In a society ruled by law, you can’t do that, just teach them a lesson."

**

At this moment, Qin Xian was discussing the Yuandao Chemical Plant with Zhou Hechen and others at the Zhou Family residence.

"The news is out, and they’ve been to the police station." Qin Xian laughed heartily, "I want to see how they’ll wrap things up this time!"

This was the price for offending him.

"Ah Xian, I think you went too far this time." Zhou Hechen, with a cigarette in his mouth and a frown, expressed his disapproval, "You’ve caused such a stir, do you really think it won’t be traced back to you?"

"So what if it is traced back to me?" Qin Xian still looked unconcerned, his smile sinister and cold, "I have someone to take the fall. If the truth does come to light, they can only arrest someone else, what has it got to do with me?"

He had to thank Ye Wanlan for giving him a good lesson in life.

You absolutely must not take matters into your own hands, and you must never leave any evidence behind.

"Ah Xian, I’m not afraid of anything else, just afraid of you getting into trouble." Sheng Yunyi also expressed her concern, "Last time you were injured and hospitalized, Aunt Qin was so worried and exhausted; just in case something happens..."

Hearing her say this, Qin Xian’s gaze softened: "I know, don’t worry, I really am fine this time."

After chatting for a while longer, Sheng Yunyi said her goodbyes and left, followed by Qin Xian leaving soon after.

Zhou Hechen stubbed his cigarette out in the ashtray, and the door opened again; it was Zhou Zhiyun.

She was holding a gift bag and greeted him with a calm smile: "Second brother."

"You’re back," Zhou Hechen replied indifferently to Zhou Zhiyun, not bothering to ask where she had been.

He knew that Zhou Zhiyun, bored and with nothing to do, liked to sponsor various girls, receiving numerous gifts every month, some just cheap wildflowers from the mountains.

He didn’t have the patience like his older brother to accompany Zhou Zhiyun in such fruitless activities.

As long as these poor students didn’t harbor any ideas about attaching themselves to the Zhou Family, he simply turned a blind eye.

Zhou Zhiyun spoke again: "I just ran into Qin Xian, has something happened?"

"Nothing at all," Zhou Hechen replied coolly, "You should get some rest early."

Meanwhile, Qin Xian left the Zhou Family Old Residence under the escort of his bodyguards.

The Qin Family and the Zhou Family were located at the two opposite ends of Jiangcheng: one by the mountains, the other by the sea.

"Young Master, the lady called just now. She said the second young miss will be back in a few days and that a welcome dinner should be arranged." The bodyguard spoke, "You must attend."

Qin Xian was impatient: "I know, I know. What is my sister busy with all day? She has more shares than I do and doesn’t lack money."

After graduating from university, Qin Zhi refused the suggestion to join the Qin Corporation and instead traveled here and there interned at other companies.

Qin Xian did not pay much attention but was aware that Qin Zhi had also established a company of her own.

Why bother?

"The second young miss has great ambitions," the bodyguard said carefully, unable to gauge Qin Xian’s mood, offering a compliment.

"Tch," Qin Xian scoffed, "What great ambitions? Will her future husband’s family let her continue running these little companies when she gets married? Unless she never marries in her lifetime."

The bodyguard felt a bit awkward but didn’t dare to contradict.

The night was windless, and the car glided smoothly.

This was a stretch of road without streetlights, and a figure appeared at that moment.

Although the face was not clear, the tall silhouette of the girl could be discerned through her figure, and she appeared to be holding something like a long pole, blocking the inevitable path of the vehicle.

"Who’s in the way?" Qin Xian said coldly, "Go drive them away. If she doesn’t move, just run her over."

He certainly wasn’t like Zhou Hechen or Fang Qinghan who had the heart to show mercy to women.

Who would block his car for no reason?

"Yes, Young Master." The bodyguard in the front seat got out and reached to push the girl, "Go on, go on, there’s no money for you here. Quickly scram before our young master... Ah—!"

The bodyguard let out a scream, a wretched sound to the extreme.

That seemingly effortless stick strike that brought him down left him without the strength to stand, feeling nothing but an unbearable pain in his back, which then swept through his entire body along his spine.

"What’s going on?" The other two bodyguards looked at each other and got out of the car as well.

It was only then they realized the girl wasn’t holding a long pole but a wooden stick nearly two meters in length.

An ordinary stick in her hands was like a spear, sharp and intimidating.

No one saw how the girl moved, but by the time they realized what was happening, they were already lying on the ground, unable to move.

Qin Xian, because of his inconvenience, was still sitting in the car, even though he sensed something was amiss.

In the silent emptiness of the night, footsteps echoed like a devil coming to claim lives, approaching step by step.

It was then that the clouds were blown by the wind, revealing the moon hidden behind them.

The silver moonlight poured down, illuminating the girl’s pale blue eyes.

She seemed indifferent as she wiped the blood splashed on her hand, her movements elegant yet filled with oppressive intent.

"Ye Wanlan?" Qin Xian was first taken aback and then shouted fiercely, "In broad daylight, what are you trying to do?!"

"Not trying to do anything." Ye Wanlan smiled slightly, her voice gentle, her tone calm, "You really crossed the line with me this time."

Last time, breaking just limbs was too light.
