Leaving the hospital room, Ye Xiao's mind was racing, pondering over the information Yan Luo had just shared.
The Hong Company is about to undergo a major upheaval, and Ye Xiao was considering whether he should get involved.
Originally, Ye Xiao planned for Yan Luo to earn merits under Wu Shengchang's command, gaining experience, and then find the right opportunity to instigate internal conflict within the Hong Company later on. By then, the Hong Company would no longer be the same.
However, he didn't expect there were others like him who also wanted to create internal chaos within the Hong Company. The difference was, these people wanted chaos purely to enhance their own power.
"Ye Xiao, what are you thinking about?" Fang Jing asked, seeing Ye Xiao deep in thought.
Ye Xiao turned his head to Fang Jing and smiled slightly, saying, "So that you can live a stable life."
Fang Jing's face flushed slightly, she sighed and said, "Ever since I met you, my life hasn't been stable."
"Do you dislike such a life?" Ye Xiao asked softly.
Fang Jing was momentarily at a loss for words, smiled faintly, and said, "Why don't we go see that beautiful police officer? I can tell you're interested in her too."
"Could you not use the word 'too'? If someone hears, they might think I'm a playboy." Ye Xiao said seriously.
Fang Jing promptly said, "What do you think you are?"
Ye Xiao was rendered speechless.
Nevertheless, he did want to go to Feng Jiao's location.
But it wasn't Feng Jiao he wanted to see; it was Li Zhi, the head of the Jinling District Security Branch.
Ye Xiao understood one thing: no matter how powerful a dark force is, without official support, it won't last long. Ye Xiao had official backing, so why not use it?
"Let's go see Mr. Li." Ye Xiao said with a smile.
Fang Jing couldn't possibly believe Ye Xiao was just going to see Mr. Li, she chuckled and said, "You can see whomever you like. It's just exhausting to find reasons to say things."
Ye Xiao was momentarily speechless as he watched Fang Jing walk away first.
Ye Xiao originally didn't know which floor Li Zhi lived on, but when he got downstairs, he suddenly saw four or five people. Among them, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a formal black suit, was particularly striking and looked very spirited.
"Mr. Qian, they're over here." A young man in a police uniform said with a smile to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man referred to as Mr. Qian nodded slightly and walked towards the elevator with the young man. When they reached the elevator, someone immediately opened a special passage for him, which ordinary people can't use.
Just as Mr. Qian was about to step into the elevator, his phone rang.
Mr. Qian casually took out his phone, but when he glanced at the number on the screen, his expression turned serious. He signaled to the others with his eyes before stepping into the elevator alone, while the others stayed outside, and the elevator doors remained open.
"Hello!" Mr. Qian answered the call.
Meanwhile, in the ground floor lobby of the hospital, Ye Xiao was sitting on a bench, smiling as he spoke, "Mr. Qian, hello."
Obviously, the call Mr. Qian had just received was from Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao didn't actually know this Mr. Qian. However, he had a friend named Qian Feng in Y City, whose relative, Qian Shuangyue, was the head of regional police in Bird City. Coincidentally the middle-aged man was referred to as Mr. Qian, so Ye Xiao called to ask.
Qian Shuangyue was aware of Ye Xiao's relationship with Qian Feng and knew what Ye Xiao had done in Minghai City, so he wouldn't dare offend Ye Xiao and said with a smile, "Is there something you need?"
"I just saw you, so I called to see if we could meet up, get acquainted." Ye Xiao said.
Qian Shuangyue was a bit surprised and said, "You're not joking, are you? I'm at the State Hospital, and you're here?"
"If I'm not mistaken, you're here for a certain head officer, correct?" Ye Xiao said with a smile.
Ye Xiao didn't directly mention Li Zhi's name, as he couldn't be completely sure.
Qian Shuangyue was even more surprised and said, "That's right. How did you know? Where are you?"
"Outside the elevator!" Ye Xiao replied.
Qian Shuangyue immediately walked out with large strides. As a branch of the Qian family, and having mingled in official circles for so long, if Ye Xiao suddenly called him, it surely meant there was something going on.
As Qian Shuangyue stepped out, Ye Xiao hung up and directly walked towards him with Fang Jing.
Seeing a man and woman approaching, and the man was smiling all the while, Qian Shuangyue immediately walked towards them.
"Mr. Qian, hello!" Ye Xiao stepped up and shook hands with Qian Shuangyue, saying, "I'm Ye Xiao."
Looking Ye Xiao up and down, Qian Shuangyue couldn't help but be amazed at how young he seemed.
"Hello!" Qian Shuangyue said.
Ye Xiao said, "Mr. Qian, why don't we talk while going upstairs?"
"Sure, sure!" Qian Shuangyue then got on the elevator with Ye Xiao and Fang Jing.
The bodyguards of Qian Shuangyue immediately came forward, but Qian Shuangyue said, "You all take the stairs."
Qian Shuangyue understood that Ye Xiao had something to say to him.
As the elevator doors closed, Qian Shuangyue looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Previously, I had only heard Mr. Ye's voice over the phone. I really didn't expect Mr. Ye to be so young."
"Mr. Qian, you're too kind. I wonder if you've come here for the head of the Jinling District Security Branch, Li Zhi?" Ye Xiao asked.
Qian Shuangyue didn't intend to hide it, after all, he knew there was no need to hide anything from Ye Xiao.
"Yes, to be honest, Li Zhi is my brother-in-law!" Qian Shuangyue said with a smile.
"I see, it seems Li Zhi is not an official who relies on nepotism," Ye Xiao said.
Qian Shuangyue immediately asked in confusion, "What makes you say that?"
Ye Xiao said, "If he were an official relying on nepotism, how could he not keep the people in the Jinling District Security Branch in check?"
Hearing this, Qian Shuangyue smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Ye, despite your youth, you are indeed very astute."
"Mr. Qian, you shouldn't praise me like that, or I'll get carried away," Ye Xiao laughed, then said, "I'm also here today to meet with Mr. Li; it's just that I'm afraid he might not be willing to see me."
"Is that so, haha, coincidentally, I'm here to introduce you. Li Zhi is a bit stubborn by nature, but after suffering a loss this time, his personality should have softened," Qian Shuangyue said.
Ye Xiao said, "An internal traitor is hard to guard against. Perhaps Mr. Li trusted his subordinates too much."
"Yes, alas!" Qian Shuangyue's eyebrows also showed helplessness.
It wasn't long before the elevator arrived.
The two bodyguards of Qian Shuangyue had already run to the elevator door by then, quite quickly indeed.
"A bodyguard of the head is really something else!" Ye Xiao chuckled.
Qian Shuangyue also smiled slightly, which surprised the bodyguards and police officers around.
Exiting the elevator, Ye Xiao and Qian Shuangyue went together to the ward area where Li Zhi was.
It wasn't long before they encountered three police officers in the corridor, two men and one woman. The female officer was Feng Jiao.
"Feng Jiao, what's the matter with you? Can't you see the situation clearly? Captain Chen has already given you face, but if you continue to be clueless, Captain Chen's patience has its limits," a male police officer looked at Feng Jiao and said angrily.
Feng Jiao immediately said, "Black is black, white is white. I support Director Li's year-end plan, and the company organization must be cleaned up."
"Are you stupid? Don't you know the saying 'rabbit dead dog cook, bird exhausted bow hidden'? If there were no villains in the world, what would we police do? Always leave a path for yourself. Hmph, though Director Li is dedicated, you can see that such actions attract the enemy's revenge."
"But we are police officers!" Feng Jiao's brows showed anger.
"Well said, 'we are police officers'!" Qian Shuangyue's words came through.
At this time, Feng Jiao and the two police officers realized someone had come over.
As police officers, they all recognized Qian Shuangyue, a big figure in Bird City's security system.
"'Rabbit dead dog cook, bird exhausted bow hidden'?" Qian Shuangyue looked seriously at the male officer who just spoke these words.
The male officer was already pale with fear.
"Mr. Qian, I didn't know you were coming!"
"Haha, if I weren't coming, would you be spreading rumors here? What's your current position?" Qian Shuangyue looked at the male officer.
"Deputy captain of the second squad of the Criminal Police Brigade in the Jinling District Security Branch," the man said.
Qian Shuangyue said, "Where's Chen the second-in-command?"
Just then, a few police officers came from the other side of the corridor, and a man around forty quickly approached and said to Qian Shuangyue, "I'm here!"
Qian Shuangyue pointed at the male officer just now and said, "Suspension, indefinite suspension!"
Hearing Qian Shuangyue's words, Chen Haiqing couldn't help but swallow. This was someone cultivated under his influence, but since Qian Shuangyue said so, he could only comply, saying, "Yes, it will be done according to Mr. Qian's wishes."
"Not according to my wishes, but according to a police officer's code of conduct. Chen the second-in-command, before Mr. Li came to Jinling District, I remember you were always the acting head. Can you tell me how someone with such a lackadaisical attitude in the security system rose to a leadership position?" Qian Shuangyue said with a serious face.
"He will definitely be dealt with severely!" Chen Haiqing immediately nodded and said.
Qian Shuangyue snorted coldly and then said, "Except for Mr. Ye and this lady, everyone else stays outside."
Chen Haiqing immediately said, "Mr. Qian, then I..."
"Including you!" Qian Shuangyue said.
Chen Haiqing was helpless and could only nod in agreement.
At this point, Fang Jing could also see that Ye Xiao, Qian Shuangyue, and Li Zhi might have something to discuss, so it was not suitable for her to go inside. So she said, "I will just stay here for a while."
Ye Xiao glanced at Fang Jing, smiled slightly, and then went into the ward with Qian Shuangyue!
