Chapter 365 Detained for One Week
Tang Manor.
Tang Xuanwu sat on the soft leather sofa, gripping his phone with a somewhat grim expression on his face.
He had called Yan Mingyu to mend their relationship, but never did he expect that she would plead for a little bodyguard.
After a few flickers of uncertain light in his eyes, he slowly said, "On this matter of my junior brother, our Tang Family can let it pass. However, as the saying goes 'a life for a life is the natural order of things', your bodyguard has already been taken away by the Seventh Division. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help!"
"I believe that the death of your junior brother must be a misunderstanding. Qin Yu... he will be alright!"
Yan Mingyu's tone was somewhat firm.
The death of Yang Kun at the hands of Qin Yu was, after all, caused by her own actions. No matter the cost, she had to rescue Qin Yu from the Seventh Division.
"Alright then, President Yan, let's leave this matter to the Seventh Division. They will surely deliver justice for my junior brother!"
Tang Xuanwu felt very uncomfortable inside. It seemed that Yan Mingyu cared a lot about this little bodyguard. Could there be something between them?
However, even if that were the case, he would not admit defeat. He, the heir to the great Tang Family, couldn't compete with a little bodyguard? Wouldn't that be a joke if it got out?
"President Tang, I won't disturb your rest then. I hope you can keep your promise. Doo doo..."
Yan Mingyu did not say much else, but there was a hint of distrust towards Tang Xuanwu in her words.
Dammit...
After cursing, Tang Xuanwu snapped his fingers. A man in black walked in from the doorway: "Boss?"
"Go to the hospital and tamper with something. Make this damn bodyguard killing my junior brother an ironclad case!"
Tang Xuanwu narrowed his eyes as he spoke.
"Understood!"
The man in black nodded and quickly left.
Lingling...
Half an hour later, the man in black called back.
"Is it done?"
Tang Xuanwu picked up the phone and asked casually.
"No, boss. The hospital has already been taken over by a special department; not even a fly can get in. After much trouble, I contacted a doctor inside who said they are conducting an overnight autopsy on Brother Kun's body!"
The man in black reported.
"Hm? Special department, the Seventh Division?"
Tang Xuanwu furrowed his brows in suspicion.
"It's... not certain!"
The man in black hesitated.
"Then hurry up and find out! If you can't even handle this little matter, what are you good for?"
Tang Xuanwu snapped impatiently.
"Yes, boss!"
The man in black answered hastily.
Dammit, useless!
Tang Xuanwu hung up the phone with a dark face, feeling that something was off. Qin Yu was just a little bodyguard, and since he had been caught by the Seventh Division, he could have been killed easily with just a little pressure. But now, a special department has popped up—what does that mean?
"Xuanwu..."
At that moment, Huang Lianying, whose arm was wrapped in bandages and hung around his neck, walked in from outside.
"Uncle Master!"
Tang Xuanwu stood up and nodded.
"Han Bing just called me, said Dragon Gate has gotten involved in this matter."
Huang Lianying said, frowning.
He was friends with Han Bing's father, and he was Tang Xuanwu's uncle master, so the relationship between the Tang Family and the Seventh Division was generally very good.
"Dragon Gate? That Qin Yu is nothing but a bug I could squash with one hand; what's he done to deserve Dragon Gate's involvement?"
Tang Xuanwu said with discontent.
"It seems to be related to someone named Lu Wenrou. That bodyguard used to be a soldier, and this Lu Wenrou was once their instructor. You know how the military folks love to protect their own!"
Huang Lianying's voice carried a hint of helplessness.
"Hmph, this kid has some background, huh? Alright, I'll call the Master and have him intervene personally. I refuse to believe the Master cannot extinguish him!"
Tang Xuanwu said, annoyed.

"Xuanwu, let's not notify my senior brother for now. He has been in retreat in recent years, seeking a breakthrough in the Pill Holding technique. Once I've recuperated for a while and my arm's healed, I'll personally meet that kid. Yang Kun was also my junior nephew; with him dead, it's only right that I, as his uncle master, avenge him!"
Huang Lianying said in a deep voice.
"Alright, Uncle Master, it's settled then!"
Tang Xuanwu nodded in agreement.
My own martial uncle is ranked fifth on the Tiger Chart, can't he easily kill a mere bodyguard?
The next day.
Yan Mingyu, with panda eyes, walked into the bathroom. After washing up, he finally made a call to Lu Wenrou, "Miss Lu, what's the situation at the hospital?"
"The autopsy report is out, Yang Kun's actual cause of death was due to taking drugs that enhance strength; he died from his heart being overloaded."
Lu Wenrou's voice carried a trace of fatigue.
She hadn't rested at all since her rush to Jinling yesterday.
"Ah, that's great, then Qin Yu should be fine!"
Yan Mingyu exclaimed joyfully, his tense body relaxing at once.
"That's the theory, but Qin Yu did have a physical altercation, and it was clearly captured on surveillance. If we want the Seventh Division to release him, we'll probably still need to follow procedures. However, once the case is transferred to the police, it will be much easier to pull strings!"
Lu Wenrou patiently explained, after all, given that a high-ranked expert on the Tiger Chart had died, it wasn't realistic to expect Qin Yu's immediate release.
"Miss Lu, I thank you on behalf of Qin Yu!"
Yan Mingyu said gratefully.
Though Qin Yu couldn't come out immediately, at least he wouldn't be accused of murder.
"Mr. Yan, no need to be polite, Qin Yu and I are very good friends!"
Lu Wenrou replied.
"Are you busy today? Let's have lunch together, shall we?"
Yan Mingyu planned to wait until Qin Yu was released before returning to the East Sea.
"Sure, I'll call you in a bit!"
"Mm!"
After putting down the phone, Yan Mingyu sat on the sofa, lightly biting her lip, feeling incredibly guilty.
Qin Yu had been safeguarding her throughout the journey, giving so much of himself. Yet, because of her doubts and mistrust, he ended up detained by the Seventh Division.
Maybe he and Xiaoxiao really didn't do anything, maybe nothing happened?
Was she being too narrow-minded?
But who isn't sensitive when it comes to emotions?
Yan Mingyu, feeling mixed emotions, decided to have an open heart-to-heart talk with her best friend. Otherwise, keeping it bottled up would definitely turn into a festering issue.
With that thought, she dialed Liu Xiaoxiao's video call.
Soon, Liu Xiaoxiao appeared on the phone, wearing a white lab coat and sitting in her office.
"Hi, baby?"
Liu Xiaoxiao waved her hand.
"Xiaoxiao, the other morning, you and Qin Yu were sleeping together... I saw it!"
Yan Mingyu bit her lip as she spoke.
"What?"
Liu Xiaoxiao's smile froze on her face, and then she hastily said, "Baby, Qin Yu and I didn't do anything, and he didn't even know I was on his bed that night. I had a nightmare where Wang Jinbo assaulted me, and I was scared, so I sought some comfort with Qin Yu. I'm so sorry, baby, it never crossed my mind to compete with you for a man. And you mustn't misunderstand Qin Yu, he really is a good man!"
"It's okay, Xiaoxiao, I believe you!"
Yan Mingyu's lips curled into a smile, feeling much relieved by her best friend's explanation. So Qin Yu hadn't lied to her; he really didn't know that Xiaoxiao was in his bed.
"Phew, that scared me. I thought you were going to come and tear me apart!"
Liu Xiaoxiao patted her ample chest.
"Pfft..."
Yan Mingyu was amused by Liu Xiaoxiao's antics.
At that moment.
The Seventh Division.
On Han Bing's desk, there was now Yang Kun's autopsy report.
"Team Leader Han, should we release him?"
One of her subordinates asked.
"According to the regulations, how long do we have the authority to detain Qin Yu?"
Han Bing asked indifferently.
"One week!"
The subordinate answered.
"Good, detain him for the full week, and don't give him anything to eat or drink,"
Han Bing said coldly.
