Chapter 52 Finding a Bigger Backer
Wang Kui choked for a moment, and his face turned even uglier.
He didn't expect this kid to be so stubborn, daring to question him in return.
"And what about you, the victim?"
"You injured dozens of people at the scene. Master Zhang is still in the hospital undergoing emergency treatment, his life hanging in the balance. And you're telling me you're a victim?"
Wang Kui sneered, leaned forward, and spoke with a blatant threat in his voice.
"I advise you to confess honestly and try to get leniency."
"Otherwise, the methods used in this interrogation room will be enough to give you a hard time."
Normally, suspects would have been paralyzed with fear upon hearing this, but Ye Xunhuan acted as if he hadn't heard it at all. Instead, he frowned and looked impatient.
He sat up straight, took the lollipop stick out of his mouth, and twirled it twice with his fingertips.
The thin plastic stick seemed to come alive at his fingertips, spinning out afterimages that dazzled the eyes.
"Fine, I might as well confess."
Ye Xunhuan spoke slowly and casually.
"But it's no use just the few of us talking here. Let's call out the real culprit hiding behind the scenes."
"Hiding behind a mirror to smoke, how boring is that?"
"And those old men from the Su family downstairs, as well as Zhou Hu and Lu Zhenxiong, call them all up. Let's sit down together and have a good talk. We should also settle the score for the Lu family's collusion with criminal gangs and bribing public officials."
Upon hearing this, Wang Kui's expression changed instantly.
How did he know that Young Master Lu was behind the mirror?
He was extremely discreet about bribing public officials; how could this kid possibly know?!
"You... what nonsense are you talking about!" Wang Kui panicked a little, and his voice rose a few decibels.
"I warn you, defaming a public official is a more serious offense!"
"Slander?" Ye Xunhuan scoffed, pointing to the direction of the one-way mirror, his tone unusually calm.
"The one inside, Lu Mingyuan, the eldest son of the Lu family in the provincial capital, right?"
"I called you at 7:32 this morning, and at 8:05 I transferred eight million to your brother-in-law Zhang Laosan's account. The bank is Jiangcheng Commercial Bank, am I right?"
Wang Kui shuddered, the color draining from his face instantly, and cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
He did this flawlessly, without even telling his wife. How did this kid know so much?!
Looking at Ye Xunhuan's nonchalant smile, he felt a sudden unease for the first time.
Who exactly is this kid?
Looking at his pale face, Ye Xunhuan felt utterly bored.
With such poor mental fortitude, how dare they embezzle and break the law?
He was too lazy to waste any more words with Wang Kui, raised his chin, and spoke in a casual yet undeniably forceful tone:
"Go and call Lu Mingyuan in."
"Hiding and dodging like a mouse, so boring."
Wang Kui stood frozen in place, unsure whether to leave or stay, his palms drenched in cold sweat.
Just then, the interrogation room door creaked open.
Lu Mingyuan walked in, a cigarette dangling from his lips. His black casual suit was well-tailored, his hair was neatly combed, and he wore a nonchalant smile, but his eyes were so sinister they could drip water.
He flicked his cigarette ash, his gaze falling on Ye Xunhuan. He looked him up and down and chuckled.
"Oh wow, you've got some skills, managing to spot me."
Wang Kui quickly stood up and respectfully greeted, "Young Master Lu."
Lu Mingyuan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be so polite. He pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Ye Xunhuan, stubbing out his cigarette in the metal ashtray.
"Ye Xunhuan?" Lu Mingyuan crossed his legs, looking arrogant.
"I know your background. You're the adopted son-in-law of the Su family, and you know a little bit of kung fu."
"But let me give you a piece of advice: no matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife."
"In Jiangnan Province, if I say you are guilty, you are guilty; if I say you have to go to jail for ten or eight years, you can forget about coming out standing up."
Ye Xunhuan, with a freshly opened lollipop dangling from his mouth, asked indistinctly, "Oh? You're that amazing? Does your family own Jiangcheng?"
"More or less," Lu Mingyuan sneered, his eyes full of disdain.
"From now on, Su Qingyuan is my woman. If you know what's good for you, get out of Jiangcheng now and never come back."
"By the way, before you get out of Jiangcheng, hand over the Su family's assets with both hands, and I might spare your dog's life."
"Otherwise, it's uncertain whether you'll emerge unscathed from this interrogation room today."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Ye Xunhuan's face slowly faded.
Everything else is fine, he can take a joke and play around as amusement, but if someone dares to make a move on Su Qingyuan, that will touch his sore spot.
The lollipop stick he was twirling suddenly stopped, and a chilling killing intent flashed across his previously casual and lazy eyes, so fast that it was impossible to catch it.
The air in the interrogation room seemed to freeze, and the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees.
"Who gave you the audacity to make a move on my woman?"
His voice was soft, yet it carried a chilling aura. Wang Kui, standing beside him, couldn't help but shiver.
Lu Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"What do you think she is? She's just a woman. What, you want to take her from me?"
"Hmph? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror! A nobody with no connections, you dare to compete with the Lu family?"
Ye Xunhuan did not laugh.
He stared at Lu Mingyuan quietly for several seconds, then suddenly smiled, a roguish smile curving his lips.
"Okay, I'm quite satisfied with your attitude." He nodded and put the lollipop stick back in his mouth.
"I was planning to play with you guys for a few more days, but since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish."
Lu Mingyuan's face darkened, and he slammed his hand on the table: "You're asking for it!"
"Hey, don't rush." Ye Xunhuan waved his hand. "Settling accounts isn't urgent. Let my men go back first."
As he spoke, he turned to look at the door of the interrogation room.
Ye Zhong had appeared there at some point, his back ramrod straight. His black Tang suit stood like a javelin, and his eyes were sharp as an eagle's as he stared intently at the people in the room. If Ye Xunhuan gave the word, he could take down everyone in the room at any moment.
"Uncle Ye," Ye Xunhuan said, "you go back first and stay with Qingyuan."
"If the Lu family dares to come to our door, don't be polite."
"Whoever touches her, I'll break their bones. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility."
"Yes, young master." Ye Zhong bowed and replied, his eyes sweeping over Lu Mingyuan and Wang Kui with undisguised killing intent.
"Don't worry, these little fish and shrimps can't cause any trouble."
Ye Xunhuan waved his hand, paused, and then added, "Oh, by the way, remember to bring me two boxes of strawberry lollipops when you get back. Strawberry flavor only, I don't eat any other flavors."
Ye Zhong's lips twitched, he bowed in agreement, and turned to leave.
He knew his young master's temperament all too well; the more relaxed and carefree he was, the more ruthless he would be.
Young Master Lu and Director Wang are probably in big trouble.
Lu Mingyuan was furious that Ye Xunhuan was still so arrogant even after all this.
He originally thought that by taking the man to the police station and threatening him a few times, he could make him kneel down and beg for mercy. However, he didn't expect that the guy would be so stubborn and become more and more arrogant.
"Fine, very well!" Lu Mingyuan stood up, glaring at Ye Xunhuan through gritted teeth. "Let's see how long you can keep up this act!"
He turned and walked out. When he reached the door, Wang Kui quickly followed and whispered, "Young Master Lu, what do we do next? This kid seems a bit strange."
"Strange?" Lu Mingyuan sneered, his eyes filled with malice.
"No matter how strange it is, it can't be as strange as a bullet. I've already called people from the provincial capital, and friends from the armed police. They'll be here soon."
"I refuse to believe he can grow wings and fly away! When we get inside, we'll break his legs first, then let's see if he's still so arrogant!"
Wang Kui's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded, "Young Master Lu really knows how to do things!"
The two men left the interrogation room one after the other, and the heavy iron door slammed shut with a clang and was locked with a click.
Ye Xunhuan was left alone in the interrogation room.
He wasn't flustered at all. He leaned back in his chair, swinging his legs, enjoying his lollipop, and even humming a little tune he'd heard on the mountain. He was incredibly content.
He knew perfectly well that Lu Mingyuan had gone to call for reinforcements, probably to find a bigger backer to back him up, or even to resort to vigilante justice.
Just right.
The more people there are, and the bigger the background, the more fun it is to play.
Once we've lured out all of the Lu family's influence in Jiangcheng, we can wipe them out in one fell swoop, saving them from swarming around like flies and preventing him from enjoying his sweets.
He was pondering how to deal with these people more effectively when the iron door to the interrogation room suddenly opened.
