The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 42: I'm Talking Nonsense, But I Am Righteous



Ye Xiaobai's heart was filled with shock and fear, the kind of fear that comes from the unknown.

He had read some novels, where masters could kill imperceptibly, but that was only in fiction.

But now, this scene was unfolding in stark reality.

It wasn't until this moment that Ye Xiaobai realized how frightening such methods could be.

Although he had opened his Qi Mansion and could cultivate, making him somewhat superior in the eyes of ordinary people, it was only a slight edge. As for techniques like Tang Rao's, he had never even heard of them.

Ye Xiaobai did not sleep the entire night, whereas Tang Rao slept soundly, complete with light snoring.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the police station started bustling.

Then, someone came to check the detention room.

It wasn't until then that Tang Rao squinted his eyes open, stretched lazily, and let out an enormous yawn.

Ye Xiaobai looked at Tang Rao and inexplicably felt a chill in his heart.

He had underestimated Tang Rao, who not only played by his own rules but was also ruthless and had terrifying methods.

"Get up! Everyone get up!" Two police officers came in, tapping their batons, creating a clanging echo.

Soon, the people in the detention room began to stir one after another.

Of course, the four men sent by Lu He were still slumped against the wall, motionless.

"Wow, really comfortable, aren't we? Sleeping like it's your own home!" The two officers were somewhat angry. They had been knocking for a while, and these guys were still not waking up, pretty arrogant of them.

"Get up, did you hear that!" One of the officers came up and prodded with his baton.

The man who was prodded leaned slightly, then with a loud thud, fell onto the hardwood bench and then rolled to the floor, without any reaction or struggle.

The two officers were stunned.

This kind of bodily response was problematic!

"Go!" The older officer swiftly grabbed the one in front and dashed out of the detention room.

Then, the police station alarm blared.

In less than a minute, a dozen armed SWAT officers were ready at the entrance of the detention room.

Ye Xin had already rushed over.

Seeing Ye Xiaobai sitting there, she clearly let out a sigh of relief.

The detention area had reported deaths, and it had given her quite a scare. If Ye Xiaobai had been the one who died, she would have blamed herself for the rest of her life.

Speaking of which, among her several brothers at home, her relationship with Ye Xiaobai was the best.

"What happened?" Ye Xin looked towards the older officer by the detention area.

"Captain Ye, look at those four men," the older officer pointed at the four men inside the detention room.

Ye Xin's eyebrows slightly furrowed. Aside from the one who had been prodded to the ground, the other three were slumped with their heads tilted and eyes tightly shut.

"Possibly, they're all dead," the older officer said softly.

Ye Xin's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief—dead, four of them? What kind of joke was this?

Wait!

Suddenly, Ye Xin's expression turned stern. Weren't those four men the same group of street racers who were brought in with Tang Rao and Ye Xiaobai yesterday?

There was something fishy about this.

"Open the door and drag these four out," Ye Xin ordered.

"Yes."

Under the protection of the SWAT team, the four men were quickly moved out of the detention room.

The medical examiner arrived promptly, and after a brief examination, confirmed that all four were deceased. The estimated time of death was between eleven o'clock last night and one o'clock in the morning.

As for the detailed report, more time is needed.

"Captain Ye, what happened?" A middle-aged man's voice came through.

"Director." Everyone called out in unison, and Ye Xin was no exception.

The middle-aged man who arrived was Wei Zhensheng, the director of the Public Security Branch of the Sui City Fortune District.

"Four people died." Ye Xin didn't beat around the bush and directly reported the situation to Wei Zhensheng.

After hearing Ye Xin's report, Wei Zhensheng's face also turned frosty.

Four people dying in the detention center all at once – if this matter couldn't be clarified, he wouldn't expect to remain the director.

"Any leads?" Wei Zhensheng asked.

"Not yet, we're retrieving last night's surveillance footage," Ye Xin replied, shaking her head.

"Order all departments to fully cooperate. Also, these people must be detained separately and interrogated separately," Wei Zhensheng decided on the spot. Everyone left in the detention center was a suspect.

"Yes, Director," Ye Xin immediately responded.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" Suddenly, Tang Rao banged on the detention center's iron gate and shouted.

Everyone was taken aback, then turned to look at Tang Rao.

"Tang Rao?" Ye Xin's eyebrows furrowed.

"I'm saying, are you going to start interrogating us now?" Tang Rao asked.

"Yes," Ye Xin nodded, "Every one of you is a major suspect. Especially you and Ye Xiaobai; these four people entered with you two last night, how come they all coincidentally died?"

Hearing Ye Xin's words, the other people in the detention center all moved away from Tang Rao and Ye Xiaobai.

If it really was these two who did it, that would be insanely vicious.

"Captain Ye, those two came in with the four deceased?" Wei Zhensheng immediately inquired.

"Yes, this group of people were racing on the road last night, suspected of dangerous driving," Ye Xin answered.

Wei Zhensheng's expression turned grave.

"Director Wei, this is Ye Xiaobai, Ye Xin's older brother and the third young master of the Tiandu Ye Family; I am Tang Rao, my dad is Tang Renwang. You can't seriously think we would be so desperate as to commit murder, right?" Tang Rao said with blinking eyes.

Wei Zhensheng's breathing became somewhat labored.

The third young master of the Ye Family and the son of Tang Renwang were actually detained.

This was practically a death sentence.

Quickly, Wei Zhensheng turned his gaze to Ye Xin; if that really was Ye Xiaobai inside, then Ye Xin would definitely recognize him.

He was well aware that Ye Xin was the youngest daughter of the Ye Family.

"Director, they were racing cars, and I've handled everything according to procedure," Ye Xin stated emphatically.

Regardless of how firm Ye Xin was, the message Wei Zhensheng received was clear: those two inside were indeed Ye Xiaobai and Tang Rao.

"Nonsense, when did I ever admit to racing?" Tang Rao pursed his lips and shouted at Ye Xin.

Ye Xin was completely stunned; you clearly admitted it last night.

And moreover, we caught you in the act, and now you're actually denying it? Do you take me, Ye Xin, for a fool?

"Tang Rao, last night's interrogation was recorded, do you think denying it now will do any good?" Ye Xin tried to scare him.

"You can listen to the recording yourself, I don't seem to have admitted to racing at all. Actually, I had an emergency, so I drove a bit fast. The speed was just one hundred kilometers an hour, at most it's speeding," Tang Rao rolled his eyes and said.

"That road was so congested, and you're claiming just a hundred, didn't you see the other cars were driving only at forty or fifty?" Ye Xin yelled loudly; this scoundrel actually had the gall to deny it.

"But, the speed limit on that road is eighty, I was only twenty over the limit. Otherwise, just fine me and take my points!" Tang Rao said with an innocent face.

Muscles on Ye Xin's face twitched.

Ye Xiaobai also stood there dumbfounded. He finally witnessed what it meant to be glib and what it meant to blatantly lie.

Tang Rao, this beast, was just too good at spouting nonsense.

And the worst part was, when he spouted nonsense, you felt there was something particularly reasonable and just about it.
