Chapter 41: Your Department is Really Stingy
"What are you dazing for? Get moving!" Ye Xin shouted at Ye Xiaobai and Tang Rao, then followed up with two hefty flying kicks, landing them solidly on their butts.
The surrounding police officers all swallowed their saliva, Captain Ye is really hot-tempered today.
"Xin Er, save some face for Third Brother." Ye Xiaobai grimaced, I really wasn't out street racing.
It's all Tang Rao's fault, he dragged me into this.
"Be honest! Quit your pointless babbling and get into the interrogation room!" Ye Xin completely ignored Ye Xiaobai and pushed the two into the adjacent interrogation room.
"I want a burger, I'm hungry!" After sitting down, Tang Rao said to Ye Xin.
Ye Xiaobai kept making grimaces at Tang Rao, brother, please just chill out a bit, don't provoke Ye Xin further.
Otherwise, I really have no idea what this crazy girl might end up doing.
"There are no burgers." Ye Xin glanced at Tang Rao and flatly refused.
"Do you have bread then?"
"Nope!"
"How about a bottle of soda? Coke would be fine."
"I said we don't have any!"
"Some boiled water then!" Tang Rao was relentless.
"We have nothing!" Ye Xin shouted angrily, is this idiot unable to read my signals? I simply don't want to give you anything to eat!
Tang Rao pouted, clearly upset.
"Your police station is really stingy, not even offering water," Tang Rao commented with a snort.
Ye Xin didn't continue with the verbal sparring with Tang Rao.
"Alright, you first, name and hometown!" Ye Xin sat down, pointing at Ye Xiaobai.
"I..."
"Are you dumb or what? His name is Ye Xiaobai, your Third Brother, he lives in Tiandu! He's a young master of the Tiandu Ye Family, a real braggart!" Before Ye Xiaobai could speak, Tang Rao started making a scene.
"I didn't ask you, shut up!" Ye Xin slammed her palm on the table and glared at Tang Rao as she shouted.
Tang Rao just shrugged and acted nonchalant with a cheeky demeanor.
"My name is Ye Xiaobai, from Tiandu of Yan Nation." Ye Xiaobai replied honestly, one could only go along with his little sister.
"And you?" Ye Xin turned to Tang Rao.
"Tang Rao, from Sui City. I'm a friend of your Third Brother, and man, he's amazing. He said no matter where he shows off in Yan Nation, no one dares to mess with him!" Tang Rao bragged shamelessly.
Ye Xiaobai: "..."
Damn it, Tang Rao, when did I ever say that?
"Xin Er, you have to listen to me, I really didn't…"
"You can call me Officer Ye, or Captain Ye!" Ye Xin slammed the table again, cutting off Ye Xiaobai's words.
Ye Xiaobai rolled his eyes and under the table, he kicked Tang Rao hard.
What on earth are you trying to do dragging me into this mess?
Don't you know being locked up in the police station is extremely embarrassing in our circles?
"Now tell me, why were you racing? Are those two SUVs behind you also with you?" Ye Xin continued to inquire.
"Uh..."
"Yeah!" Ye Xiaobai was just about to say no when he was abruptly interrupted by Tang Rao.
"Those pieces of crap, once I'm out, I'm definitely making those four losers buy me drinks for a month," Tang Rao huffed.
Ye Xiaobai looked at Tang Rao in surprise.
He didn't quite understand; those four clearly came with ill intentions, they could very well be assassins sent by Lu He, so why did Tang Rao speak as if they're good buddies?
Could it be that this guy has some other plans?
"Were you the one driving?" Ye Xin asked Tang Rao.
"Yeah, but it was your third brother who egged me on." Tang Rao said cheerfully.
Ye Xiaobai: "..."
He no longer wanted to refute anything, it was obvious that Tang Rao was intent on dragging him down with him.
"Do you have anything to add?" Ye Xin asked Ye Xiaobai.
Ye Xiaobai: "..."
What more is there to say, anyway, no matter what I say, that guy Tang Rao will always drag me down.
"If that's all, then let's leave it at that. Stay here tonight, suspected of dangerous driving, you should be detained for a month no matter what." Ye Xin closed the record book and said coldly.
Detained for a month...
Ye Xiaobai wanted to die.
"Xin... Captain Ye, can I make a phone call?" Ye Xiaobai asked, he needed to negotiate something.
If I really get locked up for a month, that would be too embarrassing.
"The phone at the station is broken, it's not connecting," Ye Xin said.
Ye Xiaobai: "..."
Ten minutes later, Tang Rao and Ye Xiaobai were thrown into the detention room.
Those four guys were there too, looking at Tang Rao and Ye Xiaobai with an extremely dangerous gaze.
"Xiao Bai, take a seat." Tang Rao found a stool, patted it, and spoke to Ye Xiaobai.
"I'm screwed because of you." Ye Xiaobai looked helpless.
"What's the rush, there's no final verdict yet. Look at these four guys, eyeing us up, they don't look like good people. If they come at us later to finish us off and we fight back, we might end up killing a few of them. In that case, we might get sentenced for ten or twenty years," Tang Rao pointed to the four men, still with a smile on his face.
Ye Xiaobai felt even worse.
Tang Rao, can't you say something humane, do something sensible?
The night grew deeper, and in the detention room, Tang Rao and Ye Xiaobai lay on the hard benches, eyes wide open, thinking about their respective troubles.
As for those four men, at some point, they had quietly approached Tang Rao and Ye Xiaobai.
All four of them had a fierce look in their eyes.
Clearly, they were ready to make their move.
"Xiao Bai, do you want to take action?" Tang Rao asked quietly without turning his head.
"I don't want to get sentenced," Ye Xiaobai muttered. Killing someone in a detention room, are you crazy, Tang Rao?
There are cameras everywhere here, if you act, you won't even have a chance to contest it.
Even if your family is rich, it's useless, if the murder video goes online, the immense public pressure, no one can withstand it.
"Then I'll do it," Tang Rao said.
"Tang Rao, don't mess around!" Ye Xiaobai startled, this guy was really going to make a move.
"Done!" A few seconds later, Tang Rao pursed his lips, flipped over, and had a smile on his face.
Done?
What do you mean done?
Ye Xiaobai was baffled; you didn't even move, did you?
But Ye Xiaobai still turned to take a look.
Through the dim light, Ye Xiaobai could see that the four men's heads were slanted against the wall, motionless.
Not breathing!
Ye Xiaobai, himself a Cultivator in the Qi-gathering stage, could not sense any breathing from the four men at this moment.
Dead!
This moment, the shock in Ye Xiaobai's heart was unparalleled.
He and Tang Rao were so close, so close he could almost hear his breathing. Yet, he did not see how Tang Rao made his move, without any hint or sign.
Four robust men, dead just like that, inexplicably.
