35: Godfather, save me!
The police quickly arrived at the scene, and the nightclub lobby became a complete mess.
The guests looked around in panic, and the music stopped... Bai Shanshan showed her police ID and directed her colleagues to handcuff Chen Bo and his subordinates one by one.
"Take them all back! Interrogate them thoroughly!"
The officers responded, escorting Chen Bo and his group out.
As Chen Bo passed Bai Shanshan, he lifted his blood-streaked face, his eyes sinister: "You damn woman, just you wait, sooner or later..."
Bai Shanshan couldn't be bothered to waste words with him and delivered a heavy elbow strike to Chen Bo's face.
Chen Bo's voice abruptly cut off, and his vision was filled with stars.
Damn!
This woman is a complete maniac... With the scene cleared, Bai Shanshan looked at Bai Wanqing, who had been quietly observing: "Sis, let's go. This place is a mess."
Bai Wanqing nodded slightly and followed her sister out.
However, just as they were about to step out of the nightclub's main entrance... the revolving door was pushed open from outside.
A tall and burly figure walked in, surrounded by a group of black-clad Bodyguards.
The man was about fifty years old, dressed in a Chinese jacket, with a cigar clamped between his fingers. His face appeared calm, but his eyes were as deep as a pool, exuding an aura of authority without anger.
Zheng Hu!
His appearance instantly silenced the lobby.
Chen Bo, as if seeing a savior, struggled and shouted: "Godfather! Godfather, save me! This damn woman, she..."
"Shut up!"
Zheng Hu's low shout cut Chen Bo off.
Then, he put on a smile and looked at Bai Shanshan: "Captain Bai, what's going on? I was only gone for a moment, and my subordinates were ignorant and offended you?"
Bai Shanshan showed no weakness, responding in a businesslike manner.
"Mr. Zheng, your godson is suspected of illegal possession of a firearm and openly threatening others' lives."
"With the evidence in hand, we must take him back for investigation according to the law."
"Oh? Is that so?" Zheng Hu feigned surprise, then put on a look of disappointment, as if regretting Chen Bo's behavior. "Chen Bo, this child, just has too hot a temper. I've been negligent in his discipline, causing trouble for Captain Bai."
He changed the subject.
"However, Captain Bai, this is my establishment after all, and making a big fuss isn't good for anyone."
"Could you do me a favor, Mr. Zheng, and let me take him back first? I will discipline him strictly and personally bring him to apologize another day?"
Bai Shanshan didn't fall for it at all and flatly refused: "Mr. Zheng, there's no room for 'face' before the law. He has violated criminal law and must face legal sanctions. Please do not obstruct us from performing our duties!"
The people around secretly gasped.
This woman is really something; she gives Zheng Hu no face at all!
He's the 'Tiger' of Xiamen City's underworld!
Zheng Hu's smile vanished, and his eyes darkened.
He truly hadn't expected Bai Shanshan to be so unyielding, leaving no room for negotiation.
His gaze turned to Bai Wanqing, hoping she would say something... Their eyes met, and Bai Wanqing indeed spoke.
"Boss Zheng, no need to look at me."
"Your godson just drew a gun to kill Ye Chen. It was in broad daylight, with irrefutable evidence."
"My sister, as a police officer, is performing her duty and cannot ignore it."
"I hope Boss Zheng won't make it difficult for my sister to carry out her official duties."
She deliberately brought Ye Chen into it.
She wanted to see... how much hidden capability this "Little Driver," whom Bing Lan regarded highly, truly possessed, and whether he could stand firm against Zheng Hu's wrath.
Zheng Hu's eyes flashed, and a smile reappeared on his face. He nodded: "So that's how it is. Since Chen Bo brought this upon himself and broke the law, there's nothing more I can say."
He stepped aside, making a 'please' gesture.
"Captain Bai, you've worked hard."
Bai Shanshan couldn't be bothered to pretend with him, snorted coldly, and directly dismissed her team.
The next second, Chen Bo and his group were pushed into the police car and quickly left.
As soon as they were gone, Zheng Hu's face immediately became so dark it could drip water.
A confidant stepped forward and whispered, "Brother Hu, what about Young Master Bo's matter...?"
Zheng Hu flicked his cigar away, narrowing his eyes.
"Once the commotion dies down, hire the best lawyer and find a way to get him out."
"Yes." The subordinate responded, not daring to say more.
Zheng Hu turned and sat in the back seat of the Lincoln.
Jin Meiting was also in the car.
Seeing him return, she softly asked, "Did Chen Bo cause trouble again?"
Zheng Hu said coldly.
"Because of A-Chen, Chen Bo fell this time."
"I'm very curious, how did he get involved with the Bai sisters?"
Ye Chen again?
Jin Meiting secretly cursed Ye Chen for being a troublemaker, but a gentle smile appeared on her face.
"It's not strange for Ye Chen to know the Bai sisters."
"He came from the countryside; his elderly father knows some medical and martial arts."
"To help you quickly take over Tianyao Group, I took the liberty of connecting him with Bing Lan."
She paused, feigning helplessness, "I just didn't expect that because I forgot to tell Chen Bo, it led to his misunderstanding and recklessness..."
If Ye Chen were here, his jaw would drop. Jin Meiting actually fabricated such a lie to cover for him... Zheng Hu fell silent.
Jin Meiting actually fabricated such a lie to cover for him... Zheng Hu fell silent.
Chen Bo had been working on this for half a month.
Before, he kept boasting about rapid progress and that he would secure it soon.
But what was the result?
He was directly detained by Bai Shanshan on charges of threatening others with a gun.
In short, Chen Bo had been deceiving him; there was no progress with Bai Wanqing at all!
If there had been even a little progress, Bai Wanqing wouldn't have been so cold, and the outcome wouldn't have been this... Thinking of this, Zheng Hu said in a deep voice.
"Bai Wanqing is not a simple woman. Chen Bo was too impatient."
"Since you made the connection, then have Ye Chen speed things up."
"We cannot have any more mishaps with the juicy piece of meat that is Tianyao Group."
Jin Meiting secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Chen's contact with Bai Wanqing naturally had nothing to do with her.
But she had to protect Ye Chen.
Otherwise... her entire plan would fall through, and if Zheng Hu learned the truth, he wouldn't let her off either.
She said softly: "Don't worry, Brother Hu, I will personally supervise him and make sure he gets things done quickly."
"Mmm..."
...Ye Chen sped all the way and quickly arrived at Yunqiyuan Residential Area.
He pushed the door open in a hurry, only to see the living room brightly lit.
Yi Yue was sitting on the sofa peeling an apple, Yi Zhengtian was staring blankly at his phone nearby, and Aunt Zhang was tidying up dishes in the kitchen.
"Ye Chen, you're back?" Yi Yue saw his hurried expression and was about to get up to greet him.
But Ye Chen stepped forward first, looking at Yi Zhengtian: "Uncle, what you said on WeChat is true? That person is your comrade-in-arms?"
That's right!
Yi Yue's reply was that the man in the family photo was Yi Zhengtian's fallen comrade-in-arms!
Yi Zhengtian suddenly snapped out of his daze from the phone photo, looked up at Ye Chen: "That's right, it's him, Wang Feng... You found his daughter?"
Originally, he didn't expect Ye Chen to find Wang Feng's daughter so quickly.
But he never imagined... it had only been less than two days, and she was already found?
"Found her." Ye Chen nodded, "His daughter is the female CEO of Shuyue Group, Bing Lan."
Yi Yue was stunned.
Yi Zhengtian was also frozen.
Shuyue Group!
The female CEO is indeed named Bing Lan!
This matter is reported daily on TV and in the news; they are all very clear about it... but they never expected that Wang Feng's daughter would become such an important figure???
Yi Zhengtian's expression was very complex as he asked: "A-Chen, does she know about her father?"
Ye Chen shook his head: "She doesn't know yet; she always thought her father was just missing."
"Not knowing is a good thing." Yi Zhengtian breathed a sigh of relief, "At least... it won't drag her into this dangerous vortex."
Ye Chen remained silent, not responding.
I'm afraid... it will be difficult not to get involved.
Jin Meiting's elaborate scheme to get him close to Bing Lan is definitely not simple!
And the other party is Zheng Hu's woman, but the matter of getting him close to Bing Lan is clearly being kept from Zheng Hu.
Otherwise, that woman wouldn't have avoided a complete fallout even after being outmaneuvered by him.
The hidden conspiracy behind this is probably deeper and more dangerous than he imagined... "Please prepare, delicious food is coming soon."
At this moment, Aunt Zhang came out of the kitchen with dessert, breaking the heavy atmosphere in the living room.
Ye Chen took a deep breath, gradually calming down.
He looked at Yi Zhengtian and said in a deep voice: "I will investigate this matter secretly. Uncle, you've just recovered, so just focus on recuperating and don't worry about these things anymore."
Yi Zhengtian felt a little relieved and nodded: "Okay, you must be careful yourself."
"Don't worry." Ye Chen nodded solemnly... Early the next morning, Ye Chen was woken up by his phone ringing.
He fumbled for his phone and saw that it was Bing Lan calling.
As soon as he answered, Bing Lan's cool voice came through.
"Ye Chen, I've decided to give you an additional work task."
Ye Chen rubbed his eyes: "Huh?"
Bing Lan was silent for a second before her voice came through again.
"Be my private masseur and give me a massage every day."
