156: Liang Jing participated in the performance? Arrogant Ye Lin

Ye Lin quickly smiled and casually explained, "I was just asking casually, to understand the situation, it's always better to be as clear as possible."

Gao Wen snorted coldly and said nothing.

"Then on the 15th of this month, just a few nights ago, did you also have a performance?" Ye Lin continued to ask.

"Yes, Deputy Mayor Wan came to inspect the group that day, and our dance troupe had a performance," Gao Wen replied casually.

"Then Liang Jing, did she participate in the performance, and where did she go after the performance? Who was the last person to see her?" Ye Lin suddenly raised his voice and asked sternly.

This sudden change in attitude startled Gao Wen. She was stunned for a moment before reacting.

"What are you shouting about? Can you police officers just intimidate us so casually? I'm going to file a complaint against you," Gao Wen angrily retorted to Ye Lin after she reacted.

Ye Lin stared intently at Gao Wen, watching her expression change from bewilderment to anger, without any hint of guilt.

He smiled slightly; this Gao Wen should not be a problem.

If someone had something to hide, when faced with such quick and direct questioning, their eyes would start to dart around after the initial surprise, and they would then begin to recite a pre-prepared lie. But Gao Wen didn't; her anger was pure.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my colleague here has a bit of an occupational hazard, it's a habit, please bear with him," Yu Haifeng interjected to smooth things over.

This was the cooperation of two experienced detectives; whether the other party liked it or not didn't matter, what was important was obtaining information.

Gao Wen glared at Ye Lin resentfully, feeling very displeased, but she couldn't do anything about it. These were police officers, and she couldn't control them.

"Then Deputy Director Gao, did Liang Jing participate in the performance on the 15th?" Yu Haifeng asked.

"She came, that child, sigh..." Gao Wen's tone softened when speaking of Liang Jing.

"That child probably came to us last year. Although she hadn't studied dance, I saw that she was hardworking, and her family was indeed struggling. Plus, her image was good, so I gave her more opportunities."

"She also likes to dance herself. She participated on the 15th, and after the performance, President Gu even specifically came backstage to see her."

A glint flashed in Yu Haifeng's eyes, "Was it President Gu, Gu Qiang?"

"Yes, it was President Gu."

"Did he specifically come to see Liang Jing?"

Gao Wen pondered for a moment, then said uncertainly, "I don't think so, I saw him greet everyone."

"Did you notice where Liang Jing went afterward?"

"I didn't, I had other things to do. After they finished performing and President Gu came, I left."

Yu Haifeng looked at Ye Lin, seeing if he had anything else to ask.

"Director Gao, could you give us a list of the students you've sponsored over the years, as well as the dance troupe's roster?"

Gao Wen gave Ye Lin a sidelong glance, ignored him, and turned to Yu Haifeng, saying, "I'll give you the list."

Ye Lin was speechless. Women, they really hold grudges.

At the entrance of the Qiang Teng Group building, the security guard from before saw Ye Lin and Yu Haifeng come out, straightened his back, pretended to look elsewhere, but in fact, his peripheral vision kept sweeping over, looking shifty.

Ye Lin sneered, suddenly turned, and walked directly towards the security guard, confusing Yu Haifeng, who thought Ye Lin had discovered something and quickly followed.

"Are you watching us?" Ye Lin glared at the security guard.

The security guard didn't care at all that Ye Lin had spotted him. He cocked his head, and a thuggish expression appeared on his face, "Watching you? So what if I was watching you? What can you do?"

Ye Lin pulled out his police ID from his back pocket, held it up in front of him, and said coldly, "Police! Still watching?"

The security guard's mouth twisted, and he said disdainfully, "So what if you're police? Even the police have to make way for our President Gu, let alone a small police officer like you."

"Lin Zi, do you want to take him back and question him properly?" Seeing the security guard's arrogant demeanor, Yu Haifeng also became angry and directly stepped forward.

"No need, I just found him irritating. I came to teach him how to behave," Ye Lin said, while using his police ID to smack the security guard's face.

"Teaching you how to behave, behave, behave, understand?!"

Ye Lin smacked the security guard's face four or five times with his police ID. The security guard's neck veins bulged with anger, looking like he was about to explode at any moment.

Ye Lin didn't continue to provoke him, but slowly took a step back and said, "If you're going to be a dog, be a good dog, don't look around randomly."

With that, he walked straight out amidst Yu Haifeng's shocked gaze.

Behind the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor, Gu Qiang stood by the window, watching this scene furiously, then picked up the phone and dialed, "Leader, this Ye Lin is too arrogant, you must step in and rein him in."

"I understand," a low voice came from the phone, then the call ended.

Downstairs, the security guard's anger had not yet subsided. He glared hatefully at Ye Lin's receding back. If Ye Lin hadn't been a police officer, he definitely wouldn't have controlled himself just now.

Yu Haifeng caught up in a few strides, looking at the calm and unfazed Ye Lin, and asked in confusion, "Lin Zi, what was that all about just now?"

"I wanted to test what kind of person this security guard was. It turns out he's just like Gu Teng's demolition team, a hooligan."

"I still think Qiang Teng has problems," Ye Lin explained.

"I thought you were quite in agreement with their approach when you were talking to them just now. How come you suddenly think they have problems?" Yu Haifeng asked curiously.

"I don't deny that Qiang Teng's student aid program is well-done, but that doesn't mean they don't have problems."

"Team Leader Yu, I think this dance team might be the breakthrough," Ye Lin said with certainty.

"Alright, if you say so. But I also want to remind you that our leaders might already be unhappy with our visit to Qiang Teng this time," Yu Haifeng warned.

"It's best if Qiang Teng starts to move, then we can see what's truly hidden beneath this murky water," Ye Lin's eyes showed anticipation.

After returning to the bureau, Yu Haifeng called Old Zhao aside alone to discuss with Ye Lin how to proceed with the investigation.

It wasn't that he didn't trust others, but for now, Qiang Teng was a powder keg, and he didn't know if it would explode.

"Lin Zi, just the three of us, is that enough?" Yu Haifeng looked at the stack of documents on the table, feeling a bit of a headache.

"Hey, I have no problem being the trailblazer, but asking me to sort through so many documents, I can't handle it," Zhao Jianfeng also had a bitter expression.

Ye Lin chuckled exasperatedly, "I say, big brothers, it's just that only the three of us know, it's not that only the three of us will do the work."

"These lists, we can let Xiao Wang, Xiao Sun, and Xiao Qi investigate them, as long as we don't tell them what it's for. That also counts as protecting them."

Zhao Jianfeng suddenly understood, "Damn, that's good! You're a sly one, kid. Tell us, how do we proceed?"
