Ni Ling glanced at the frightened Fei Hu and suddenly burst into laughter, saying, "Is it really that exaggerated? Aren't you someone who has seen all kinds of storms? Why would you be scared of something like this?"
"You police officers have no sympathy at all. He is my friend from the underworld; we are like brothers! Of course I'm worried if something happens. Besides, if he gets sentenced, it's not a place for humans," Fei Hu said, recalling some scenes from inside.
Ni Ling took a sip of tea and laughed, "I was just trying to scare you. How can you be so gullible? You don't even filter what others say; I really admire you." She playfully rolled her eyes at Fei Hu, looking incredibly charming.
"I consider you a friend, so I believe everything you say one hundred percent. But how did you know I was pleading for Bald Zhang? This is indeed a bit suspicious; you need to explain," Fei Hu stared intently at Ni Ling, afraid she might lie again.
Ni Ling shook her head and chuckled, "New World has always been under police scrutiny because it has considerable influence in the area. The incident the other night was too big for the local police to handle, so they sought help from the bureau. In a fit of anger, the chief sent our homicide team out, and we ended up cleaning everything up. After several interrogations, we found out that you are actually the boss of Bald Zhang and his crew."
Upon hearing this, Fei Hu's expression changed dramatically. This bastard! I was planning to bail him out, but he confessed first and even implicated himself. That's not Bald Zhang's style. Fei Hu thought to himself and fell into deep contemplation.
"Hey! Don't act all profound with me. To be honest, Bald Zhang didn't mention your name at all. But we already knew you were their leader; there's no need for you to worry about that. The situation isn't serious; fortunately, no one got hurt—only some things were damaged. Boss Miss Zhang from New World doesn't want to pursue responsibility for this, so Bald Zhang will be released in a couple of days. We plan to detain the other party for fifteen days," Ni Ling explained the situation to Fei Hu.
Fei Hu felt a bit anxious and asked, "Since you know I'm Bald Zhang's boss, why didn't you arrest me? That seems a bit unreasonable!"
"As long as you weren't at the scene that night, if you had been there, I would have cuffed you regardless. Do you think we wouldn't dare?" Ni Ling said as she leaned closer, staring intently at Fei Hu with a serious expression.
Fei Hu timidly glanced at Ni Ling and hurriedly lowered his head. It's true that evil cannot suppress righteousness. From Ni Ling's eyes, he saw the power of justice.
"The Dragon Tiger Gang has been quite chaotic lately; you need to be careful. There are some murky waters that you shouldn't wade into casually. As a friend, I still need to say a few more words," Ni Ling said with a smile on her face.
Fei Hu couldn't help but shake his head and said, "As a police officer, what do you think of the Dragon Tiger Gang, especially their leader?"
Fei Hu's question was a bit sharp, leaving Ni Ling momentarily speechless. After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, "This gang has a history of over a hundred years. During the Anti-Japanese War, it did a lot for the people. Although we are in a time of peace now, the existence of such a gang indicates that its benefits outweigh its harms. If it were truly harmful to society, the government would have eliminated it long ago. Therefore, the choice of the leader of the Dragon Tiger Gang is very important; it relates to whether the entire Dragon Tiger can continue to survive."
Ni Ling's words did not directly tell him whether the Dragon Tiger Gang was good or bad; she cleverly skirted around the issue, but Fei Hu could still discern her meaning. As long as the Dragon Tiger Gang did not engage in illegal activities or harm society, it had a reason to exist. Fei Hu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"Alright then! I've had my tea and shared what you wanted to know. I'm at work and came out just because you called. I'm afraid the director will come looking for me soon, so I need to head back. If you need anything, just call me. As long as I can make time, I will definitely be there," Ni Ling said as she stood up, threw Fei Hu a flirtatious glance, and turned to leave.
Fei Hu sat there dumbfounded. He never expected that a policewoman, especially such a beautiful one, would flirt with a man. In fact, Fei Hu forgot that police officers are also human beings with emotions and desires.
The car circled from the inner ring road to the outer ring road. Once Fei Hu confirmed that there were no tails behind him, he happily drove towards the villa in Ye Cheng Suburb. Suddenly, his phone rang. Fei Hu slowed down, reached for his phone, pressed the answer button, and heard Yingzi's pleasant voice on the line: "Hello! Fei Hu, where are you right now?"
"I just got onto the outer ring road. Is there something wrong?" Fei Hu replied.
Ni Ling chuckled and said, "Nothing much; everyone is waiting for you to come back for dinner." Realizing this was the matter at hand, Fei Hu tossed his phone aside and pressed on the accelerator, speeding up.
Just as he approached the overpass intersection, Fei Hu suddenly saw an elderly man with white hair standing at the corner, holding a bag and waving at passing cars. However, none of them stopped. It was inconvenient to park here, and besides, no one would stop since they weren't rental cars.
As his car neared the old man, Fei Hu initially thought about just driving past him. But once again, his conscience made him hit the brakes. His sudden stop caused cars behind him to honk their horns as if blaming him for being overly concerned. So be it!
The old man slowly opened the car door and first tossed his bag into the vehicle before sitting down himself. Fei Hu was puzzled as to why this old man chose to sit in the passenger seat while placing his bag in the back. As he started driving again, he gently asked, "Sir, where are you headed? Why are you waiting for a ride here? It's quite dangerous; besides, people usually don't stop here."
The old man stroked his white beard and replied, "I came from the countryside to visit relatives but ended up in an unlicensed taxi. When this guy got unhappy with me, he dropped me off at this intersection. That's why I was trying to hail a ride; sorry for bothering you."
Fei Hu smiled and said, "It's alright; it's just that standing here is too dangerous." He couldn't help but silently curse that unscrupulous driver.
The car wasn't moving very fast; Fei Hu was worried about jolting this elderly man who seemed around Ye Cheng's age. Just as they were nearing the villa area, the old man suddenly said to Fei Hu, "Stop for a moment, young man; I'll get off here. Someone should be coming to pick me up."
Fei Hu slowly parked his car behind a black Santana. As the elderly man got out, a man in his thirties stepped down from the Santana. They embraced warmly, and the elderly man whispered a few words to him. The man then walked over to Fei Hu and politely said, "Thank you so much! Let me pay you for the ride." As he spoke, he reached for his wallet.
"Don't, don't, don't! I'm not running a taxi service," Fei Hu called out to the man before driving away. What is wrong with people these days? All they see is money. Fei Hu made a sharp turn and smoothly entered the villa. Just as he parked and was about to get out, he realized that the elderly man had hurriedly left his bag behind.
What is going on? Fei Hu walked over, opened the car door, and picked up the elderly man's bag. What could be so heavy? Fei Hu thought to himself that he might as well take a look inside. If there were valuable items, he would need to return it immediately; if not, he could leave it in the car until after dinner.
With that in mind, Fei Hu unzipped the bag without hesitation. On top of everything was a thick layer of newspaper. Fei Hu wondered what could be wrapped so securely; could it be a golden Buddha? The thought made him chuckle to himself. He gently peeled back the newspaper and was instantly dumbfounded.
What is this old man doing? The bag was filled with bundles of cash—at least several hundred thousand! What should I do? When the old man realizes his bag is missing, he will surely panic. Thinking this, Fei Hu quickly got back into his car, made a sharp turn, and drove out of the villa.
At the intersection, Fei Hu spotted the familiar Santana again and drove over. As soon as the elderly man saw Fei Hu, he jumped out of the car excitedly and asked with a big smile, "Young man, did you come to return my bag?"
"Yes, how did you forget your bag in my car? I opened it to check if everything was there; please count it and see if anything is missing. To be honest, I didn't take anything," Fei Hu said while handing the bag back to the elderly man.
The man from the Santana rushed over and repeatedly thanked Fei Hu, saying, "Thank you! If we had really lost it, we wouldn't know how to explain it when we got back." He then returned to the Santana with the elderly man.
Fei Hu waited quietly since they hadn't spoken yet; it would be awkward for him to leave. After about a cup of tea's worth of time, he saw the elderly man and the other man walking back down together, with several bundles of cash in hand. The elderly man extended the cash towards Fei Hu and said, "Young man, you are truly commendable; this money is for you. Take it as my thanks!"
"Don't do that; if nothing is missing, I really must be going," Fei Hu replied as he pushed the money back towards them. He quickly rolled up his car window and started the engine before driving off. Behind him came the sound of the elderly man's shouting.
What is going on? Looking at all that money made it hard for Fei Hu not to feel tempted; however, he resisted greed because this wasn't his property. When Fei Hu finally parked and got out of his car, he was stunned to see that the Santana had also entered the villa. What if there was an issue with counting that cash? What if they came after him? Oh my goodness! This situation could turn disastrous! Fei Hu felt a bit anxious inside.
