Chapter 78: Chapter 0078 Subtext_1

“Don’t get worked up, be careful of accidental discharge,” Ye Xiong urgently said.

These days some police officers spend their entire careers without firing their guns more than a handful of times, an accidental discharge is certainly no laughing matter.

“Everyone put down your guns,” Huang Weifu ordered loudly.

Vermilion Bird stepped in front of Ye Xiong, handed over the arrest warrant, and said, “The warrant is real, don’t resist. Go with them for now, I’ll contact the chief right away to ensure you come out unscathed.”

Vermilion Bird was very aware of Ye Xiong’s irreplaceable stature in the chief’s heart. It wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that the chief would absolutely not allow anything to happen to Ye Xiong.

Her concern at this moment was that Ye Xiong wouldn’t go willingly, and if a firefight broke out between the two sides, the outcome could be very troublesome.

“I’ll handle my own matters, I don’t need that old geezer to interfere,” Ye Xiong cursed.

He examined the arrest warrant briefly and frowned.

This arrest warrant had been issued directly by the province, sent via fax from the Provincial Public Security Bureau to the city bureau. No wonder Huang Weifu had shown up with such a large force to arrest him.

They were making a mountain out of a molehill.

It seemed that He Haodong had quite the background in the province; Ye Xiong had really cornered him this time, forcing him to act desperately.

“Huang Bureau, I am a law-abiding citizen, cooperative with police work.”

Ye Xiong moved to the center, stretching out his hands as if to be cuffed.

Vermilion Bird breathed a sigh of relief, she had been genuinely worried that Ye Xiong would not cooperate. Had a fight broken out, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

But, to her surprise, after Ye Xiong waited with hands together for a long time, no police officer dared to approach and cuff him.

Who could tell if he was faking it?

In the end, it was Chen Han who got up from the ground, took a pair of handcuffs from his belt, and cuffed Ye Xiong’s hands, glaring at him fiercely.

“Officer Brother, we haven’t met before, don’t you think your glare is a bit too much?” Ye Xiong mocked.

“My name is Chen Han, I’m the captain of the Jiangnan City Bureau Criminal Investigation Brigade. Make sure you remember that,” Chen Han said arrogantly.

“Such a low-ranking position usually doesn’t register with me. Unless it’s someone like Bureau Chief Huang Weifu or a police beauty like Luo Weiwei, then maybe I’d remember the name,” Ye Xiong dismissed.

“You…” pointing at Ye Xiong, Chen Han finally said, “In the police station, let’s see how tough you can be.”

“After I’ve been with all the women in your family, it won’t be a problem,” Ye Xiong replied with a smirk at the corner of his mouth.

Trying to outwit me with words, you’re still too green.

“Just you wait,” Chen Han stared down Ye Xiong fiercely.

Just then, Huang Weifu’s phone started to ring.

Recognizing the familiar number, Huang Weifu’s expression instantly turned serious as he stepped aside to answer the call.

After a moment, he returned, his face bearing a serious look.

“Chen Han, come here,” Huang Weifu commanded.

Once Chen Han came over, Huang Weifu spoke in a low voice, “I just received a call from above. Ye Xiong can’t be detained in the city. Take a dozen elites, drive straight to the Provincial Bureau, and hand him over to the person there.”

“Chief, rest assured, I will ensure his safe arrival at the destination,” Chen Han said, a smug cold smile appearing on his face.

“Luo Weiwei will also be going with you. Take her along,” Huang Weifu spoke.

“This may not be appropriate, we are executing a task,” Chen Han hesitated.

“Haven’t you always wanted to work on a task with Luo Weiwei? This is a good opportunity; I’m giving you both the chance to go together,” Huang Weifu finished, patted his shoulder, and said, “Do this task well, don’t mess it up. The higher-ups are watching, whether or not you can become the deputy chief depends on this significant opportunity.”

“Chief, mission guaranteed,” Chen Han said firmly.

Chen Han immediately picked ten elites on the spot, arranged three vehicles, and had Ye Xiong placed in the car, personally overseeing the transport.

“`

A moment later, Luo Weiwei arrived.

She was in her police uniform, looking striking and spirited. Before getting into the vehicle, she glanced at Ye Xiong dismissively, as if she didn’t recognize him, and then sat down beside Chen Han.

“You’re here, it’s been a long time.” Chen Han’s eyes lit up upon seeing Luo Weiwei enter.

Ever since he had gone to the province for training more than two months ago, it had been three months since he last saw Luo Weiwei. He didn’t expect to come back and find her even more beautiful than before and with a greater feminine allure.

Luo Weiwei nodded slightly in response.

She glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Ye Xiong looking at her with a smirk, prompting her to roll her eyes instantly.

“Xiao Zhang, let’s go,” Chen Han shouted to the officer driving.

Three vehicles set off together, one in front, the one carrying Ye Xiong in the middle, and another following behind. The cars were well equipped, as if transporting a dangerous and vicious bandit.

“Officer Luo, where are you planning to take me?” asked Ye Xiong, sitting in the backseat cage, smiling.

“Shut up and sit still,” Luo Weiwei hadn’t replied when Chen Han shouted loudly.

“Officer Luo, I wonder if the provincial city has a 7 Days Inn or Home Inn?” Ye Xiong continued to ask.

As for what Chen Han said, he acted as if he hadn’t heard at all.

Luo Weiwei’s mouth twitched slightly; even at a time like this, this guy still had the mood to think about all sorts of nonsense.

Chen Han was so furious that he felt like his lungs were about to explode; he couldn’t believe that Ye Xiong dared to ignore his words.

Keep showing off for now, soon you’ll understand how you’re going to die, Chen Han thought darkly.

The trip from Jiangnan City to the provincial city of Guangzhou City took about four hours.

All the way, Chen Han tried to start conversations with Luo Weiwei now and then, but unfortunately, Luo Weiwei was indifferent, giving him perfunctory responses and making him too embarrassed to ask further.

He thought that Luo Weiwei was reserved because of the mission and other people being present, making it inappropriate to speak more. But at this moment, Ye Xiong in the backseat began to recite poetry.

“The fallen flowers are intentional, but the flowing water is emotionless. How tragic, truly tragic!” Ye Xiong said, shaking his head and sighing.

Chen Han had posed several trivial questions to Luo Weiwei, but Ye Xiong listened and discerned that the so-called captain of the criminal investigation brigade seemed to have taken a fancy to Sister Daxiong.

Unfortunately for him, Luo Weiwei was completely uninterested.

“Shut up,” Chen Han bellowed in anger.

“A toad lusting after a swan’s flesh, pathetic, truly pathetic,” Ye Xiong went on.

Chen Han’s face turned red with fury; if it weren’t for the mission, he would have loved nothing more than to drag Ye Xiong out and beat him soundly.

“The most pitiful thing is having no self-awareness, mistaking oneself for a pile of cow dung yet hoping for a fresh flower to bloom upon it. Is that even possible?” Ye Xiong rambled on like a robot.

“This flower, however, is truly beautiful, healthy, and upright. Especially its pair of buds, so full and tempting. How could such a lovely flower ever adorn a pile of cow dung?”

“Such a beautiful flower should bloom inside a 7 Days Inn or Home Inn. The fallen petals aren’t heartless; they turn into nurturing soil in spring to protect the flower…” Ye the poet droned on, shaking his head.

“Shut up!”

Seeing him speak to such a degree, Luo Weiwei couldn’t help but raise her voice.

Could he be any more shameless?

Using ‘flower buds’ to describe her chest.

To say she should bloom in a 7 Days or Home Inn; what does ‘bloom’ mean, to take off one’s clothes and ‘bloom’?

The fallen petals aren’t heartless; they nourish the flowers after turning into spring soil, bah, in your dreams that I, a woman of virtue, would fall for a shameless wretch like you.

Luo Weiwei rolled her eyes and silently cursed.
