258: Chapter 258 The Money Tree Turns into a Hand Grenade

Just then, Yuan Zhongda suddenly called back.

"This Piao Zhichang has been brought under control. A large amount of ice powder was found in his car, and he's suspected of drug trafficking—a serious charge. Also, news came from the consulate, but Liu Qiangdong suppressed it. The solution to this matter is now entirely in our hands!"

Hearing this, Zhao Feiyu immediately broke into a smile.

Meanwhile, when Yuan Zhongda called,

Zhao Feiyu immediately put it on speakerphone.

Lin Qingyao looked tense. When she finished listening, her body went limp and she slid down from the RV's seat.

Then, she began to weep silently.

After hanging up, Zhao Feiyu gently helped Lin Qingyao up.

"Don't cry anymore. The matter has been resolved; it's fine now. Go back with the people from the Public Security Bureau to cooperate with the investigation. I'll come to pick you up from the bureau tomorrow morning!"

"Mm-hmm!"

Wiping her tears, Lin Qingyao nodded repeatedly.

Then, Zhao Feiyu opened the car door and stepped out with Lin Qingyao.

The captain of the Public Security Bureau immediately walked over and said respectfully, "Mr. Zhao, news has come from headquarters. Piao Zhichang has been brought under control. We know what to do!"

"En, let Miss Lin go back with you to give a statement. I'll come for her tomorrow. Don't let the consulate people have anything to gossip about!"

"Rest assured, Mr. Zhao!"

The captain nodded and led Lin Qingyao into the car.

"Wait a moment!"

Zhao Feiyu hurried to the trunk of the Kowloon Red Flag car, took out three cartons of cigarettes worth over ten thousand yuan, and walked over.

"It's been hard work tonight. Distribute these among the brothers!"

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao!"

The leading captain didn't dawdle and took them directly.

Because he knew that in front of someone as powerful as Zhao Feiyu, being overly pretentious would only cause resentment.

And such small favors were the ones they felt most comfortable accepting.

Then, everyone got into the cars and left.

"Captain, those cigarettes Mr. Zhao gave us... they look like Peace Under Heaven: Supreme Honor, right? One carton is worth over ten thousand!"

"It does seem to be Peace Under Heaven!"

The captain nodded, kept one carton for himself, and handed over the remaining two.

"Split them among the brothers. Don't refuse Mr. Zhao's kindness!"

"Hehe, tonight definitely wasn't a waste of time!"

Several officers from the Public Security Bureau were instantly delighted.

Just then, one of the officers looked back at Lin Qingyao. "My sister even went to your concert tonight. I didn't expect something like this to happen!"

"Yeah!"

The captain also looked back with a sigh.

"Miss Lin, if Mr. Zhao hadn't stepped in, I'm afraid no one could have saved you!"

"I know that Piao Zhichang. Since he's from Kimchi Country, even if he had ill intentions first, you'd probably still suffer along with him!"

"I didn't expect Miss Lin to know Mr. Zhao. Everything should be fine now!"

...

Hearing these people from the Public Security Bureau praise Zhao Feiyu so much,

Lin Qingyao couldn't help but curve her lips into a silly smile she wasn't even aware of.

With Zhao Feiyu having given them a heads-up in advance,

after entering the Public Security Bureau, Lin Qingyao truthfully recounted her experience and gave a statement. The matter was completely resolved.

Meanwhile, Piao Zhichang, who was undergoing treatment, hadn't noticed at all that he was already under guard.

As soon as his surgery ended, he was immediately arrested by the Public Security Bureau.

Faced with ironclad evidence, Piao Zhichang's face turned pale in an instant.

"Officers, please don't disturb the patient's rest. He has just undergone surgery and there's still a possibility of recovery in the future."

Just then, a doctor from the hospital came out to intervene.

"If the patient's emotions are agitated, it's highly likely the wound will reopen. If that happens, reattachment will be impossible."

"Alright, alright. We won't agitate him. Let him rest well. Once his emotions stabilize and his condition improves slightly, we'll talk to him again."

The Public Security Bureau officers, also afraid of being held responsible, quickly waved their hands and left the ward.

But just after they left, Piao Zhichang hurriedly took out his phone to check.

He saw that there were as many as over 100 missed calls.

Piao Zhichang swiped his phone open and saw that most of them were from several bosses of the company, as well as calls from the consulate.

Seeing the security personnel outside,

Piao Zhichang realized something. He had originally thought he could use the company's pressure to force Lin Qingyao to submit to him, but he hadn't expected it to draw in the Public Security Bureau.

"That damned bitch! She actually called the police. She must have exposed my drug use!"

Piao Zhichang's hand trembled as he dialed, cursing Lin Qingyao under his breath.

"It's all over now. How could she do this? By dragging me down like this, her own future is ruined too!"

As soon as the call connected, a barrage of curses in Kimchi Country's language came from the other end.

Immediately after, Piao Zhicheng hurriedly began to plead.

But because he was too agitated, a sharp pain shot up from below.

"Ah!"

Piao Zhichang let out a violent scream.

The Nurse outside rushed in. Lifting the covers, she saw that the blanket over Piao Zhichang's lower body was already stained red with blood.

"Quick, call Director Li! His wound might have reopened."

Following that, Piao Zhichang was pushed into the emergency room once again.

He wasn't wheeled out until dawn.

At that moment, people from Shengtian Entertainment also arrived.

Piao Zhicheng was currently Shengtian Entertainment's cash cow. With this incident happening, even the Second Boss of Shengtian Entertainment personally rushed to the hospital.

"Doctor, doctor, how is he?" the Second Boss hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

The doctor shook his head with a weary face and said, "We've done our best!"

"What? He's dead?"

Hearing this, the Second Boss's whole body shook, and he abruptly took two steps back.

"Lin Qingyao actually killed him?"

Seeing this, the doctor quickly explained, "No, no, sir, you've misunderstood. The patient's injured area is quite specific. We had already performed a suturing surgery on him earlier."

"And the surgical process was very smooth."

"But after coming out, he made several phone calls in the ward. His emotions became agitated, and the wound reopened."

"Although we have reattached it again, its function is now limited to urination; he can no longer perform human affairs."

Hearing this, the Second Boss breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good. As long as he's alive!"

As long as the person didn't die, he could continue singing and performing. Those brainless fans liked his appearance; whether he had that kind of functionality was completely irrelevant.

Just then, the Second Boss's phone suddenly rang. "Big brother, what's wrong? I've arrived at the Yunduan City Hospital. This fellow Piao Zhichang is fine, but he's lost that specific function. It won't affect his future performances."

"Listen to me. Stop worrying about that guy now. His drug use has been dug up, and he's also suspected of drug trafficking. He's already been brought under control by the Yunduan City Public Security Bureau."

The Big Boss's nervous voice came over the phone.

"He is no longer our cash cow; he's a grenade—a grenade that has already exploded."

"It's useless even with the consulate stepping in."

"Furthermore, Lin Qingyao found someone unknown. Even Liu Shaorong, the head of the Liu Family in Tianhai City, called me about this. We must find every possible way to distance ourselves from Piao Zhichang, otherwise, the Liu Family here in Tianhai won't let us off!"

Hearing this, the Second Boss's face instantly turned pale.

And right at that moment, the top official of the Yunduan City Public Security Bureau personally arrived with his men.
