Return Of The Soldier King Chapter 48 Crazy Xue Bing

At that point, Murong knew Ye Fei was right. These people were cowards. After finding out about Ye Fei's 'true ident.i.ty', they immediately backed off the idea of blackmailing him, and knowing he had an accomplice who might come after them, all they wanted to do was leave.

"Hey, why are you leaving so soon? The police would like to formally thank you for your help."Murong went after them and said, "For helping the police catch that terrorist, not only will you be awarded the silk banner, but you can even appear in the papers, on TV, and on the radio! Everyone will know you caught the wanted terrorist; you will become heroes!"

"h.e.l.l no! If we appear on TV, everyone will know our faces and this terrorist's friends will come after us!"

One middle-aged man said, "He's a terrorist! If his accomplices find out who helped catch him... won't they hurt my family?"

"Well, his organization is quite ruthless; it has been known to do things like that. But you don't have to worry! You can trust the police and our government, we will protect you!" Murong proudly patted her chest.

"Bulls.h.i.t!"One middle-aged woman cried out, pushing Murong out of the way to catch up to the rest of the fleeing group.

"By the way, what I just told you was confidential! You can't tell anyone!"Murong shouted after them.

"You think we're going to tell anyone?!"

At the main gate of the police station, the group walked into a crowd of reporters, who immediately surrounded them and pointed microphones and cameras at their faces.

These reporters had been called over by the blackmailers themselves, who thought a media storm would increase the pressure on Ye Fei and the police.

A female reporter held up a microphone to the fat woman's face and tried to ask her what was going on. To her astonishment, the fat woman screeched like a lunatic and charged headlong into the cameraman, scratching him and trying to take away the camera.

"Hey! What are you doing?" The reporter jumped out of the way.

"No cameras! No filming! Get this thing out of my face or I'll knock you teeth in!"

The two men in the blackmailer group immediately understood that if they appeared on TV or the newspapers, the terrorist's accomplices would see their faces and threaten their families. They joined the fat woman in trying to take away the journalist's camera, but the cameraman was having none of it. He fought back tooth-and-nail, refusing to give in despite being outnumbered.

Crash!

The Nikon camera worth over 50,000 Yuan fell to the ground, smashed to pieces.

A short moment pa.s.sed in silence as everyone stood still and stared at the wreckage of the camera.

Then, a group of policemen rushed out the station's gate and hand cuffed those crazy middle-aged people, locking them in a detention room.

There, the blackmailers actually felt a little relieved. They never would have thought a police detention room would feel so safe...

After the commotion died down, Ye Fei was released from the interrogation room.

Murong smiled at him, shaking her head incredulously, "You are one unlucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d, Ye Fei. You haven't been in Shanghai a week and you've already seen the inside of an interrogation room twice! Alright, hurry home and take a shower."

Ye Fei smiled sheepishly, "I've had rotten luck ever since I met you. I probably caught it from you!"

Despite the joke, he actually knew why he kept getting in trouble.

Part of it could, indeed, be ascribed to general bad Karma borne of whatever unknown crime against the universe he may have committed in a past life. However, Ye Fei felt it was mostly because, after being a soldier for so many years, he was a little disconnected from society and didn't understand things others might consider obvious.

This was not unique to Ye Fei. Anyone who'd been abroad for a long time would feel this kind of reverse culture shock.

Most repatriates changed themselves to deal with those issues, but Ye Fei was not ready to do that. He had no doubts or regrets concerning his way of life.

"By the way, Officer Murong, where is Lin Qingwan? Is she still sleeping? Please call her and tell her the good news:I have her videos!"Ye Fei took out the USB flash drive with the Ya Lai Group's logo and held it up to her eyes.

"What? You've found the footage?"Murong stared at him in amazement, "How did you do that? Anyway, I'll tell Sister Qingwan the good news. I bet she'll be happy!"

She took out her phone and called Lin Qingwan, However, all she got was an automated message: The number you dialed is not available. Please try again later.

"Huh? Is her cell phone broken?"She tried again, but still couldn't get through.

Ye Fei had an ominous feeling."Where is Manager Lin? Is she at the apartment?"

Murong thoughtfully stroked her chin."No, she went out. She got a call early in the morning from her company president about some emergency at work, so she went to meet him."

"President?"Ye Fei's eyes lit up, "You mean Xue Bing?"

Murong tilted her head querulously, "Yes, his name is Xue Bing. Do you know him?"

"Oh, no!"Ye Fei shouted.

He messed up big time.

He thought Xue Bing would try to make a run for it. What on earth compelled him to call Lin Qingwan?

Ye Fei grabbed Murong's shoulders, "Where did she go?!"

"Uh... I think it was the Triumph Hotel."Murong frowned and slowly said, "I did wonder why he didn't ask to meet her at the company offices."

"The Triumph Hotel... Stupid woman, I can't believe she actually went there on her own. How am I supposed to keep her safe if she has no vigilance at all?"Ye Fei was anxious to go after her. "Give me the key to your scooter before it's too late!"
