That kind of desk could easily seat ten or eight people without issue, but to slap it down with a single palm, that indicated a serious problem—a very big problem!

What incredible strength it must require, and even having great strength might not suffice.

The officer who was playing games turned pale with fright—if that slap had landed on a person, it could shatter all their internal organs.

This person was definitely no ordinary character.

The police officers from the Xicheng sub-division were far less capable than those from the city police force. Apart from arresting johns and locking up prostitutes, they rarely encountered serious cases. Some had never fired a gun in their lifetimes and had never seen such a spectacle, all standing there dumbfounded without reacting—even forgetting that this was a police station, their own turf.

“Inside the office!” the policeman pointed instinctively.

“Thanks, pal, carry on with your game.”

Ye Xiong smiled politely, then gestured apologetically to the scattered desk parts on the floor. “Your desk seems a bit old, you should probably get a new one.”

The officer almost cried—it was brand new, bought just last month.

Approaching Sun Jian’s office door, Ye Xiong knocked.

“Come in!” a gruff voice answered from inside.

Ye Xiong pushed open the door and saw a middle-aged policeman in his thirties, face pocked and cratered like the surface of the moon, sitting on the couch playing with his phone’s shake feature.

Perhaps he’d been shaking too long without any luck finding a girl, his face flushed with frustration.

Upon seeing Ye Xiong enter, he glanced up with a puzzled look and said impatiently, “Who are you, and who let you in?”

“I am the general manager of Mingyang International Hotel,” Ye Xiong announced his identity.

Hearing Ye Xiong’s title, Sun Jian’s face grew even more displeased.

“Your hotel won’t be closed down, just a warning and a fine were issued, now get out!”

Originally, the case at Mingyang International Hotel had been clear-cut with all the evidence and testimony in place. Sun Jian had hoped to make an example of it, with the documentation and public announcements all prepared, even alerts had been sent to the press. He had thought this would be another high-profile moment for his anti-vice squad, but to his utter shock, a single phone call from the city bureau chief, Huang Weifu, was all it took to squash the matter completely.

All his preparations came to naught because of that call, fueling his anger.

But there was nothing he could do; rank trumps all, and Huang Weifu, chief of the city bureau, was so high above him in rank that a flick of Huang’s finger could end Sun Jian. He had no choice but to comply.

It was a shame to lose that bundle of money, nearly within grasp!

Sun Jian was especially frustrated, yet for the life of him, he couldn’t understand who had the clout to make Huang Weifu disregard organizational discipline and squash what had been an ironclad case.

“I’m here not about that matter, but about something else.”

“What’s that?”

“Who tipped you off to raid Mingyang International Hotel?” Ye Xiong’s demeanor suddenly turned cold as he spoke.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Sun Jian responded.

Unfortunately for him, his evasive gaze did not escape Ye Xiong’s observation.

“What did the informant give you?” Ye Xiong continued to inquire.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, and I warn you, if there’s nothing else, get out quickly. I’m very busy and have no time for your nonsense.” Sun Jian walked to the door and shouted at the officers outside, “Who let this shady character in? Throw him out immediately!”

The more Sun Jian reacted like this, the more Ye Xiong sensed his guilt.

Ye Xiong really wanted to beat him until even his own mother wouldn’t recognize him, to see whether his body or his mouth was tougher.

But remembering Luo Weiwei’s request for him to hold back, he managed to restrain himself.

Two officers approached and softly called out to Ye Xiong from a distance, “Sir, if there’s nothing else, could you please kindly leave?”

The officers’ deferent attitude was so similar to Sun Jian’s, it left him dumbfounded.

When had these two become so polite, speaking as if they were talking to an ancestor?

“As a good citizen, I will certainly cooperate with the police comrades. I’ll leave right now.”

After saying this, Ye Xiong indeed got up to leave. But as he passed by Sun Jian, he leaned in to whisper something into his ear.

After hearing what he said, Sun Jian’s face turned pale.

The two officers, curious about the team leader’s reaction, were eager to know what Ye Xiong had said to the captain.

After Ye Xiong left, Sun Jian’s gaze fell upon the two officers, and he asked, “Why were you so polite to him just now?”

“Captain, you’ll understand if you go outside and see for yourself.”

“That guy, I don’t even know if he’s human.”

The two officers wore pained expressions.

Sun Jian hurriedly walked out, only to see a solid wood desk in the office lying on the ground, shattered into pieces.

“Was this desk smashed by that guy?” Sun Jian’s mouth formed an O shape.

“Yes, he just slapped it down with one hand, and the desk ended up like this,” replied the officer who was playing games.

Sun Jian, recalling the words Ye Xiong had whispered in his ear, slumped to the ground weakly, and after a while, he hurried out.

No sooner had Ye Xiong stepped out of the police station than Luo Weiwei hurried over and asked, “You didn’t hit anyone, did you?”

Ye Xiong, with a full head of black lines, replied, “Do I seem like that kind of violent man? Aside from being a bit rough in bed, I’m usually very gentle.”

“Shameless!”

Luo Weiwei cursed and then asked, “How did it go?”

“Don’t know yet!”

“What do you mean you don’t know? Didn’t you go in to ask?”

“Just wait a bit longer.”

At that moment, Sun Jian ran out from inside, calling loudly, “Boss Ye, please wait.”

When Sun Jian caught up with Ye Xiong and saw Luo Weiwei by his side, his face changed once again.

Luo Weiwei, who had cracked the child abduction case and rescued more than thirty missing children, had become a celebrated name throughout Jiangnan City, featured on television, and now who in the police circles didn’t know of her fame?

Moreover, it was said that she would be promoted to head of the squadron.

In comparison to her upcoming position as head of the squadron, his own position seemed insignificant; she handled major cases, while he dealt with minor ones like arresting prostitutes and clients, a difference of heaven and earth.

Besides, she had achieved this position so young, with a boundless future ahead, and it was very likely she could become his superior one day.

Realizing this, Sun Jian felt even more unsettled.

“Officer Luo, you’re here too?” Sun Jian hurriedly greeted Luo Wei.

“Don’t get me wrong, I’m not close to him,” Luo Wei declared in advance.

Not close, yet standing so near, nobody would believe that.

“I’m not that familiar with my Weiwei either, don’t overthink it,” Ye Xiong said, and voluntarily stepped back two paces.

Sun Jian, his head full of black lines, thought, “My Weiwei?” He had never met a man who could pose so much.

Clearly powerful and influential, obviously tough to an extreme, yet still feigning refinement.

Would it kill him not to show off?

“Boss Ye, I’m sorry, it was my fault. Could you please spare me for the sake of my being Weiwei’s colleague?” Sun Jian begged.

“Who asked you to investigate Mingyang International Hotel?” Ye Xiong said coldly.

“I was just following up on a report.”

“What’s the name of the person who reported it, and what’s their phone number? Surely, there must be a record, right?”

“These matters are confidential, Officer Luo knows that.”

“Well then, I wish you good health and a long life,” Ye Xiong said, then grabbed Luo Weiwei’s hand, pretending to leave.

Luo Weiwei’s mouth twitched, and she glared at him fiercely. This guy really knew how to bluff using someone else’s power!

Sun Jian was immediately anxious.
