Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Do You Wish to Be Stricken from the Rolls?
Although Wang Shengli couldn’t get Ye Xunhuan out directly, he agreed to let Qiu Ruoxi see Ye Xunhuan.
Wang Shengli was no fool; he knew who he could afford to offend and who he couldn’t, and when to play Tai Chi with the situation.
Qiu Ruoxi was a star entrepreneur from Jiangzhong City, with substantial connections and assets—there was no doubt about that.
Even though he was the head of the patrol unit, if it really came down to a direct confrontation with Qiu Ruoxi, the outcome wouldn’t be so clear-cut, and judging from the anxious expression on Qiu Ruoxi’s face, Wang Shengli boldly guessed that Ye Xunhuan was probably more than just an employee of the Huangtu Group.
So, he pushed all the responsibility onto higher-ups.
It’s not that I’m not giving you face or not letting you post bail, it’s that the higher-ups won’t let me release him. I’m also in a difficult position. If you can get the higher-ups to speak up, then I will release him without a second word.
You could say Wang Shengli played his Tai Chi quite impressively.
Under Wang Shengli’s lead, Qiu Ruoxi went straight to the interrogation room.
Seeing Wang Shengli come in, Lin Wentao immediately stood up: "Captain Wang..."
Wang Shengli nodded: "Wentao, step out for a moment. Miss Qiu wants to have a word with Mr. Ye!"
"But..."
"Let’s talk outside."
As he spoke, Wang Shengli looked at Qiu Ruoxi: "Miss Qiu, you talk to him!"
The next moment, Wang Shengli walked straight out.
Lin Wentao, though reluctant, still followed him out.
As soon as Lin Wentao and Wang Shengli had left, Ye Xunhuan let out a chuckle: "Wife, how come you’re here?"
Seeing the jocular look on Ye Xunhuan’s face, Qiu Ruoxi felt immensely frustrated—this bastard could still find reasons to laugh at a time like this!
Qiu Ruoxi said unhappily, "To see if you’re dead or not!"
"Wife, rest assured, I won’t have you become a widow," Ye Xunhuan said with a chuckle.
"Nonsense, keep up your nonsense at a time like this," Qiu Ruoxi coldly huffed. "Tell me honestly, did last night’s explosion at Zhongzhou Port have anything to do with you?"
"Do I look like I’m capable of doing something like that?"
"No!" Qiu Ruoxi said without hesitation. "Someone like you is a classic rogue, a coward who fears death..."
Ye Xunhuan’s mouth twitched slightly!
"In times of war, you would definitely be a traitor!"
Ye Xunhuan’s face gradually darkened. He hadn’t expected to be seen as this kind of person in Qiu Ruoxi’s eyes.
"Qiu Ruoxi, you’re too hurtful," Ye Xunhuan said, displeased. "Are you here to anger me, or to get me out?"
"If you’re here to anger me, then you can turn around, march out!"
"What do you mean?"
"Go to a cooler place to play, don’t wave around in front of me and spoil my mood."
"You..."
Qiu Ruoxi took a deep breath, reminding herself not to get angry, not to get angry.
"They’re not releasing you because someone from above wants to keep you here. Ye Xunhuan, tell me honestly if you have anything to do with the explosion at Zhongzhou Port last night, no more laughing off!"
"If it has something to do with me, do you think you could even save me..."
"You... you..." Qiu Ruoxi trembled uncontrollably with rage due to Ye Xunhuan’s words.
"What have they told you?" Ye Xunhuan interrupted Qiu Ruoxi gently.
"They say you committed murder on purpose, and Ji Yunlin is now lying in the hospital, his life hanging by a thread!"
Hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Ye Xunhuan narrowed his eyes slightly; the man had quite the life to not be dead yet.
"Ye Xunhuan, tell me honestly if you are involved in this matter or if you know something?"
"What could I possibly know!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently. "I’m a good youth of society who practices the Five Virtues, Four Beauties, and Three Loves. How could I be related to such a thing?"
"Alright, you go back!"
"If I go back, how do I explain to mom and dad!" Qiu Ruoxi said somewhat irritably. "If mom finds out..."
"No worries, mom would definitely believe that nothing will happen to me. Just tell the truth!"
"Really?" Qiu Ruoxi asked in disbelief.
"Of course!"
"But you..."
"I’ve already said it, haven’t I? I’m fine," Ye Xunhuan’s gaze began to sweep back and forth over Qiu Ruoxi’s body. "Why, are you so worried about me getting into trouble now? Could it be that you’ve fallen for me?"
"I’m telling you, don’t you dare fall for me. You’re just my backup, I’ve already found my main!"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qiu Ruoxi’s eyes immediately ignited with flames of anger. "Ye Xunhuan, you jerk, I hope this matter is related to you, and that it gets you thrown in jail. I’ll cuckold you every single day!"
As soon as the words were out, Qiu Ruoxi turned and walked out.
But Ye Xunhuan was stunned. Cuckold me?
What kind of hat?
Green?
"Damn it, Qiu Ruoxi, stop right there, I’m warning you, before we’re divorced, you..."
Before Ye Xunhuan could finish, Qiu Ruoxi had already left the interrogation room.
After Qiu Ruoxi left the interrogation room, Lin Wentao and Wang Shengli emerged from another room.
"Miss Qiu..."
"Captain Wang, please take good care of Ye Xunhuan. If he gets even the slightest injury..." Qiu Ruoxi didn’t finish, but her meaning was clear.
Wang Shengli immediately swore, "Don’t worry, Miss Qiu. Without evidence, Ye Xunhuan won’t lose a single hair, nor will he face any threat!"
Qiu Ruoxi nodded, satisfied.
Although that bastard Ye Xunhuan was infuriating, he was still her husband, Qiu Ruoxi. She had to take care of him, and if anything really happened to this guy, her parents...
Just thinking about it gave Qiu Ruoxi a headache.
Afterward, Wang Shengli escorted Qiu Ruoxi out of the patrol unit.
After seeing Qiu Ruoxi off, Wang Shengli heaved a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness he hadn’t done anything to Ye Xunhuan. This guy was actually Qiu Ruoxi’s husband!
When Qiu Ruoxi had been speaking with Ye Xunhuan, they were listening from another surveillance room, clearly hearing and seeing everything between them.
What puzzled Wang Shengli was what kind of background did Ye Xunhuan have to have married the daughter of Qiu Shuihan.
One thing was for certain though, Ye Xunhuan had to have a significant background; otherwise, he wouldn’t have become Qiu Shuihan’s son-in-law.
Outside, Tang Yurou rushed over anxiously upon seeing Qiu Ruoxi come out. "President Qiu, is Xunhuan..."
Seeing Tang Yurou’s face wrought with tension and concern, Qiu Ruoxi felt uneasy. Ye Xunhuan was her husband, but Tang Yurou’s demeanor suggested she was the one married to him.
"Do you like him?"
"Huh?" Tang Yurou was startled before responding, "No... No, President Qiu, what’s happening with Xunhuan?"
Witnessing Tang Yurou’s nervous expression, Qiu Ruoxi found her answer; Tang Yurou had indeed fallen for Ye Xunhuan.
This bastard really had a way with women. In just a few days, he had Tang Yurou falling for him.
Qiu Ruoxi didn’t hide anything and shared what she knew with Tang Yurou.
After hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Tang Yurou wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, deflated. "Impossible, it can’t be. Xunhuan must be fine..."
With that, a spark of inspiration crossed Tang Yurou’s mind. She immediately took out her cell phone and dialed Xiaojiu’s number.
The phone was answered in an instant!
"Sister-in-law..."
"Xiaojiu bro, Xunhuan’s in trouble. You have to save him..."
"Sister-in-law, calm down and tell me what happened."
Following this, Tang Yurou relayed to Xiaojiu what Qiu Ruoxi had told her.
After soothing Tang Yurou, Xiaojiu quickly hung up the phone.
After the call ended, a cold murderous intent flashed across Xiaojiu’s face. "Ji family, are you seeking your own destruction?"
