Li Hao stood up and declared, “I will go and investigate immediately!”

Wang Ping waved his hand to tell him to sit down. “There’s no use for you to be so anxious. I called you over here today for a couple of reasons. First, I wanted to understand Ye Qian’s situation. Second, when I woke up today an important object was left on my bedside table.”

“What is it?” Li Hao asked with surprise.

Wang Ping handed over the files on the coffee table. “It’s these.” Li Hao browsed over the files and became shocked. Wang Ping continued, “These files contain records of Ouyang Cheng receiving bribes during his term as deputy secretary.”

“Who brought this over?” Li Hao asked.

“I don’t know. When I woke up this morning it was just there. This person isn’t simple. I’m afraid he knew all about Ouyang Cheng being my political rival, that’s why he sent these over.” Wang Ping knitted his brows as he spoke.

“So this person wants to borrow your hand to get rid of Ouyang Cheng. This person must have a big problem with him.”

Wang Ping shook his head. “I’m afraid it is not that simple. The municipal committee elections are coming up, with these files, it would be a very simple matter to get rid of Ouyang Cheng. But if that were his motive, then he would have just sent it directly to the Disciplinary Commission. Why did he have to put it in my hands?”

“Deputy Secretary Wang, you can rest assured that I will find out who did this as quickly as possible.” Li Hao replied.

Wang Ping smiled faintly and said, “There is no need for that. That person did this because he didn’t want us to know who he was. I’m afraid that your investigation won’t turn up anything. I was just curious. I received these files on the night Ye Qian was arrested, so I was wondering if both events were related.”

“Sir, are you saying that Erge and Ouyang Cheng have had some sort dealings in the past?” Li Hao asked doubtfully.

“That isn’t very likely, but I only felt that everything is just such a big coincidence.” Wang Ping replied. “But anyway, since that person brought these to me, it won’t do me any harm. Now we have some things to do.” Wang Ping’s eyes glittered as he spoke. Previously, he handled his affairs discreetly, not because he was a coward, but because he was just concealing his strength and biding his time. Now the opportunity had arrived. If he did not grasp it well then it would be regrettable.

“Li Hao, go to the district bureau at once and lock Ye Qian up in your own police station. Regardless of whether or not this matter with Ouyang Cheng has anything to do with Ye Qian…. if it does, then Ye Qian is a very valuable witness, so that the mastermind behind Ye Qian’s situation is Ouyang Cheng. He gave the order to shoot Ye Qian on the spot because he wanted Ye Qian dead, so you must hurry ahead of them and protect him.” Wang Ping replied.

Even if Wang Ping hadn’t said those words Li Hao would have done just that. Ye Qian was his own erge, he wouldn’t let anything happen to him if he could help it. He nodded and replied, “I will leave immediately.”

Li Hao said his farewells to Wang Ping and rushed out of the house. If things were really as Wang Ping anticipated, then Ye Qian was in grave danger and he had to hurry. Even though Wang Ping’s daughter was in the district bureau, she would certainly not be able to deal with the opponent by herself.

After Li Hao departed, Wang Ping made a phone call.

Wang Yu had trouble sleeping, she tossed and turned on the bed the whole night. She had declared herself that she would do whatever it took to help Ye Qian but the problem was exceedingly difficult. Even if her father were to make a personal appearance, it would still be hard to resolve.

Wang Yu got out of bed early the following morning. She didn’t have much of an appetite for breakfast. She just got in her car and drove to the police station as fast as possible. She wasn’t like Qin Yue who could brazenly drive a Lamborghini Bat around. She was government worker after all, and her father was the deputy secretary of the municipal community. Showing off wouldn’t be a good thing.

Wang Yu had a sinking feeling in her stomach when she thought about Qin Yue. This airplane runway is with Ye Qian right now, stealing him from her. Wang Yu couldn’t figure out how the so-called ice woman of Shanghai could be acquainted with Ye Qian and even be his girlfriend. She thought angrily to herself that even though Qin Yue acted so cold, it turned out that she could be lonely on the inside.

[TN: Airplane runway is an insult made to imply that a girl is flat-chested]

When she passed by a breakfast stall, Wang Yu suddenly thought that she should bring Ye Qian some breakfast. She thought for a very long time but couldn’t decided. First, she didn’t want to be the subject of gossip among her colleagues, second, she didn’t want that damned rogue to be smug about it, as if she were being clingy. The events from last night already made her lose face. If she brought him breakfast now then that rogue would be even more insolent.

Wang Yu couldn’t understand why she was so worried when she heard that something happened to him, didn’t she hate him? Did she actually like him? It couldn’t be, how could she fall for that damnable rogue?

Wang Yu continued fantasizing all the way to the police station. She stopped the car and collected her feelings, then entered the police station. It was still early so a lot of fellow officers were still not around. After greeting the officer on duty she went to her desk and reviewed Ye Qian’s case files carefully.

It didn’t take long for other officers to start arriving one by one. Presently, an officer-on-duty walked over to Chief Hu Yue and made a quick report. Hu Yue instantly became alarmed and exclaimed, “What? The prisoner escaped? Wang Yu, quickly, take some people and catch that convict.”

Wang Yu stood up in confusion and asked, “Chief, what happened?”
