Chapter 641: 644: Want To Undermine

Ye Xingli talked tough, but in reality, it was just empty threats.

He knew that this “Ye” in Ye Weikang wasn’t his “Ye” in Ye Xingli, but the common people didn’t know that.

If the news about Ye Weikang got out, his “Ye” could be looked down upon, too.

He did report it to the police, but he had to make sure the media didn’t know about the incident, or he’d be beaten up by his brother once he woke up.

This place was sparsely populated and easy to hide, so they stayed here to wait.

His friend arrived very quickly. As he insisted on complete confidentiality, they traveled incognito and only two people came over.

His friend walked into the basement and looked around, exclaiming, “This is just like the real-life version of ‘Escape’, isn’t it?”

“Escape” is a famous movie. It tells the story of a high school student being kidnapped by a pervert after school and locked in a basement-like room, isolated from the world for over ten years before finally escaping.

Ye Xingli elbowed him, “Yu Xingchen, you’re here for work, not to watch a show! I need your assurance that this won’t get out. Otherwise, before my brother skins me, I’ll skin you first!”

Yu Xingchen dramatically clutched his stomach and turned to his subordinate, “Wen An, quick, note this down. Second Young Master Ye threatens a public official, his arrogant and domineering behavior is infuriating! This is a crime against…”

Wen An interrupted him, “Boss, we’re on a case.”

Yu Xingchen rubbed his nose, his expression becoming serious, and ended his performance.

Seeing that he was no longer joking around, Ye Xingbei greeted him, “Brother Xingchen.”

Yu Xingchen nodded in acknowledgement, “Beibei’s back?”

He looked at Ye Xingbei and then at the woman gagged with something in her mouth, frowning at Ye Xingli, “This is…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but Ye Xingli understood what he meant through their friendship.

Ye Xingli gritted his teeth in resentment and gave Ye Weikang another kick, “Beast!”

Yu Xingchen’s frown deepened, his jesting demeanor disappeared, “It will indeed be bad if this spreads. Let’s conduct the questioning here. I promise to keep the news tightly sealed.”

Ye Xingli was finally satisfied, “Finally, something sensible.”

Yu Xingchen shot him an annoyed look, ignored him, and began to gather evidence, ask questions, and record notes with his two subordinates.

During this time, Ye Weikang tried to play the Young Master of the Ye Family and didn’t cooperate. He acted stubborn, like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, refusing to say a word.

However, as soon as Yu Xingchen took charge, Ye Weikang had barely enough strength to carry on and collapsed on the floor, answering anything asked of him, obediently like a grandson.

Ye Xingli was very satisfied, he turned to Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei and said, “Only the ancestors of a beast know how to deal with a beast. It’s like fighting fire with fire.”

Gu Junzhu smirked, “This cop’s not bad, he’s to my liking. I wonder if he’d be interested in changing jobs.”

Ye Xingli smirked, “His family has been in law enforcement for generations. His grandfather is the big boss of Y country’s police force, and he’s his grandfather’s successor. What do you think his chances are of changing jobs?”

The Fifth Lord of Gu showed a regretful expression, “That’s a real pity.”

He liked unconventional, good people who did deceptive things.

Of course, upright people were all well and good, but there were many things an upright person couldn’t accomplish and it took a “bad guy” to get them done.
