Mr. Li!

Ji Yutao actually addressed Li Xiaoyao as Mr. Li, could this Li Xiaoyao really be the one he knew, or was it just a coincidence of sharing the same name?

Zhu Haishan dearly hoped it was the latter, but now was not the time to be concerned about this.

Zhu Haishan said, "Chairman Ji, rest assured, our police force will definitely not wrong an innocent person, nor will we let a guilty one off. I will make a phone call right now to verify the facts. As soon as I have an understanding of the situation, I'll call you back immediately."

"Hmm, make it quick," Ji Yutao urged at the end before hanging up the phone.

Zhu Haishan picked up the phone and immediately called the chiefs of various branches.

A few minutes later, Zhu Haishan got through to the chief of the Central Road Sub-Bureau.

Zhu Haishan asked bluntly, "Wang Fuxing, did you arrest a man named Li Xiaoyao today?"

Wang Fuxing was taken aback, Li Xiaoyao was indeed the person he had sent someone to arrest.

But how did Zhu Haishan come to know about it?

After hesitating for a few seconds, Wang Fuxing said, "Yes, we did arrest such a person."

Zhu Haishan asked, "What did he do?"

Wang Fuxing replied, "The guy illegally detained over twenty people."

"Where are they now?"

"They are locked up in the interrogation room, refusing to confess," Wang Fuxing asked, "Chief Zhu, do you know this guy?"

Zhu Haishan said, "You don't worry about that, if he is locked up there, then keep him there. I'll be over shortly, just don't you use torture to force a confession."

Wang Fuxing felt a bit troubled and said, "Chief Zhu, this..."

"What's this and that? Speak up," Zhu Haishan pressed.

Wang Fuxing said, "Actually, this matter was instructed by Director Liang."

Zhu Haishan frowned and asked, "Director Liang? Which Director Liang?"

Wang Fuxing hummed and replied, "Muze City's Liang Zhengdao."

"What?" Zhu Haishan was surprised but immediately understood.

It must be because of Zhu Xiaoyue's matter that Liang Zhengdao treated Li Xiaoyao this way.

However, this Liang Zhengdao had dealt with Li Xiaoyao without even notifying him.

"Completely out of line!" Zhu Haishan said, "Let me tell you, Wang Fuxing, I don't care who gave the instructions, Chairman Ji just called me to inquire about this matter. If you don't want to lose your position, then don't meddle in anything else."

"Chairman Ji!" Wang Fuxing was startled and asked, "Chairman Ji?"

"Aside from him, which other Chairman Ji?" Zhu Haishan snorted in annoyance and hung up the phone.

Wang Fuxing stood holding his cellphone in a daze, muttering to himself, "Fuck, who exactly is this Li Xiaoyao? Even Chairman Ji is stirred up!"

After Zhu Haishan hung up the phone and thought for a few minutes, he called Ji Yutao back.

"Hello, Chairman Ji, we have located the person. He has indeed committed an offense and is currently being held in the interrogation room of the Central Road Sub-Bureau."

"I'll be right over, wait for me at the sub-bureau," Ji Yutao didn't ask what crime Li Xiaoyao had committed, his presence simply represented a courtesy from the chairman.

Outside the Central Road Sub-Bureau, Wang Fuxing stood anxiously at the entrance.

About twenty minutes later, Zhu Haishan arrived by car.

Zhu Haishan pushed open the door and got out of the car, spotting a visibly anxious Wang Fuxing from afar.

As Zhu Haishan walked over, he said irritably, "Next time, use your head before you act."

With a strained smile, Wang Fuxing said, "Yes, yes, I didn't consider things carefully. Director Zhu, please, you must put in a good word for me with Chairman Ji, and besides, I really didn't do anything wrong. That kid, he really did commit a crime."

Zhu Haishan waved his hand dismissively and said, "Cut the crap. Chairman Ji will be here himself shortly. Unless Chairman Ji asks about Liang Zhengdao, don't you bring it up."

"Chairman Ji is coming?" Wang Fuxing felt another shock and wiped off some cold sweat, saying, "I definitely won't mention it, I definitely won't."

Another ten minutes or so passed, and an unassuming black sedan stopped at the entrance of the branch.

The car door opened, and the unsmiling Ji Yutao stepped out.

"Chairman Ji," both men called out.

"Mm," Ji Yutao responded indifferently, with no significant show of emotion.

Ji Yutao walked into the courtyard and asked, "Where is the person?"

Wang Fuxing hastily replied, "Over here,"

Wang Fuxing led the two to the interrogation room and swung the door open, gesturing Ji Yutao inside with a beckoning hand.

Stepping into the interrogation room, Ji Yutao immediately wrinkled his nose at the pungent odor that greeted him.

Li Xiaoyao was sitting at the table with his legs propped up, eyes closed in repose, and didn't bother to open them even upon hearing the door open.

Seeing Li Xiaoyao handcuffed to an iron chair, Ji Yutao became furious. He quickly strode over and said in a low voice, "Mr. Li."

Li Xiaoyao slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Ji Yutao with surprise, and asked, "Why are you here? Did you get caught too?" Stay updated through empire

Unaware of Ji Yutao's identity, Li Xiaoyao naturally assumed that he was also a detainee.

Wang Fuxing and Zhu Haishan standing by broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing Li Xiaoyao's words. Li Xiaoyao was really audacious to speak to Ji Yutao in such a manner.

Noticing Zhu Haishan, Li Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed and he said coldly, "So the Director has also come. I take it Liang Zhengdao invited you? Sometimes I truly wonder if you're really Xiaoyue's father or not. To climb up with the Liang Family, you'd even stoop to the business of selling out your own daughter. How impressive!"

Li Xiaoyao's scathing sarcasm infuriated Zhu Haishan.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yutao was secretly surprised, realizing that Zhu Haishan actually knew Mr. Li.

However, Ji Yutao was not interested in the grudge between the two men. He only wanted to make a good impression in front of Li Xiaoyao, to ensure that Li Xiaoyao would remember him.

"Mr. Li, the conditions here are too poor, let's change the setting. Sit down and have a cup of hot tea, we can talk things over," proposed Chairman Ji.

Li Xiaoyao looked at him and asked, "Oh? You can take me out?"

Ji Yutao nodded with a smile, saying, "I can't guarantee anything else, but getting you out, that's no problem."

Li Xiaoyao was silent for a few seconds before shaking his head and saying, "No need, I'm quite comfortable sitting here."

At these words, the smile vanished from Ji Yutao's face. He wasn't angry at Li Xiaoyao for being unappreciative, rather he was angry with whoever had offended Li Xiaoyao so much that he now refused to leave.

Who on earth had offended Li Xiaoyao to the point where he wouldn't come out now?

If he wouldn't come out, the favor he, Ji Yutao, was doing could no longer be considered a favor.@@novelbin@@

Seeing Li Xiaoyao acting so haughtily and noting the dark look on Ji Yutao's face, Wang Fuxing thought Li Xiaoyao had angered Ji Yutao, and immediately pointed at Li Xiaoyao, saying, "Kid, don't be ungrateful. How dare you defy the gentleman's words?"

Ji Yutao was startled and glared angrily at Wang Fuxing, snapping, "Shut up!"
