Chapter 282: Get Lost
Xiao Yun suddenly remembered that the suitcase was still in his Storage Ring.
Upon hearing Ouyang Bing's question, he realized she was intentionally trying to clear him of suspicion, and he couldn't help but feel grateful. Although this woman had a fierce personality, she secretly harbored a gentle affection for him.
At the same time, he could see from Mr. Wei's expression that the suitcase had a crucial connection to the Flower Family.
It seemed that the contents of this suitcase were not merely gifts from others.
After listening to Ouyang Bing's words, before Xiao Yun could speak, the imposing Mr. Wei suddenly softened his tone and said to Xiao Yun, "Mr. Xiao, Han Ziqi is young and reckless, perhaps he acted without thinking. I hope you can be understanding. As long as you can hand over that suitcase, we will drop the matter regarding Han Ziqi being beaten. What do you think?"
"I don't understand what you're talking about," Xiao Yun resolutely decided to uncover the hidden secrets of the suitcase and feigned confusion, saying, "What suitcase are you referring to? I really haven't seen it."
"You haven't seen it?"
Mr. Wei's expression suddenly turned cold. "Xiao Yun, you say you haven't seen it. Why is it that since you entered that private room at the Wealthy Grand Hotel, the suitcase has disappeared?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun realized they had no idea he had taken the suitcase and were trying to deceive him. Anger surged within him as he replied, "Mr. Wei, there were many people crowded at the door that night watching the commotion. On what basis do you conclude that I took the suitcase?"
"Besides, that hotel should have surveillance cameras, right? Can't you just check the footage?" Xiao Yun said coldly.
Mr. Wei replied expressionlessly, "We have already reviewed that footage!"
Xiao Yun asked, "Did you see me take the suitcase?"
Mr. Wei was taken aback for a moment, smacking his lips and saying, "Not yet... no!"
"No? Then what are you doing here pulling down your pants and making a scene?" Xiao Yun shouted angrily.
Mr. Wei was stunned, his eyes widening as he yelled, "Xiao, please be aware of your identity; do you know who you're talking to?"
It seemed that Mr. Wei was used to being arrogant in front of ordinary people and had never been humiliated like this before. His face turned red with anger, and the veins on his forehead bulged out like worms trying to break through the skin.
He glared furiously, looking as if he wanted to devour Xiao Yun whole.
Xiao Yun laughed, refusing to back down, "Who do you think you are? Just relying on your master's authority to come here and act tough? You falsely accused me of stealing your so-called Flower Shao's suitcase. Do you believe I will slap you?"
"How dare you be so arrogant in front of Mr. Wei!" a bodyguard stepped forward, curling his lip into a disdainful smirk, cracking his knuckles as if ready to fight.
With Xiao Yun's skills, he didn't take this kind of person seriously at all.
Xiao Yun looked down at the bodyguard and said, "What do I have to be afraid of? Come and try it!"
"Xiao Yun,"
Seeing that Xiao Yun was completely disregarding Mr. Wei, Ouyang Bing became anxious and slammed the table, shouting, "This is the Criminal Investigation Team; it's not a place for troublemakers!"
On the surface, Ouyang Bing was reprimanding Xiao Yun, but her words were also meant for the two bodyguards beside Mr. Wei. If they caused trouble here, regardless of who they were, the police had the right to arrest them.
Mr. Wei realized that this was not a place where he could act recklessly. He shouted at the bodyguard, "Step aside!"
"Mr. Wei, are you a government official or a gangster? Why do you need bodyguards when you go out?" Xiao Yun retorted without holding back.
"You..." Mr. Wei became anxious and defended himself, "They... they are my drivers!"
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "I guess you received a call from Han Ziqi in the middle of the night and rushed here by plane, right? Did you even bring a driver with you? And two of them?"
Mr. Wei was momentarily speechless with anger, standing up abruptly and saying, "You wait and see, Xiao!"
"Then go ahead, take your time, and be careful not to bump your nose against the wall!" Xiao Yun crossed his arms and said with a smile, as if this police station were his own home.
Mr. Wei was furious.
He turned to leave with the two men but paused at the door to shout at Ouyang Bing, "Captain Ouyang, the suitcase was lost on your watch. No matter what it takes, even if I have to dig through the ground, you need to find it for me."
Ouyang Bing smiled apologetically and replied, "Mr. Wei, I will do my utmost!"
"And also," Mr. Wei glanced at Xiao Yun before seriously adding, "that suitcase contains some confidential government documents. Please be discreet while searching for it and avoid making it public!"
Ouyang Bing repeatedly agreed. However, Xiao Yun couldn't help but sneer inwardly; what confidentiality? It was probably something shameful that they didn't want leaked.
Nonetheless, he was never one to hold back his words. He burst into laughter, plopped down on the nearby sofa, stared at the ceiling, and whistled, "It seems that the good days for the Flower Family might not last long!"
"What do you mean by that?" Mr. Wei had intended to leave but stopped upon hearing Xiao Yun's words, his face darkening as he asked.
Xiao Yun didn't even look at him and chuckled, "A flashy young master who does nothing serious, idling around seeking pleasure while carrying government confidential documents—Mud Horse! I wonder who granted the Flower Family such authority? Does the government belong to them? Mr. Wei, it seems you're in charge of the Flower Family; uh, I feel like your composure is lacking and you're prone to trouble!"
"You..." Wei Qinghe regretted meeting this guy; he stared blankly at him without knowing how to retort.
"Xiao Yun, can you please say less? Sit properly; this is the Criminal Investigation Team, not your home!" Ouyang Bing was frustrated that Xiao Yun was stirring up trouble when he was trying to cover for him. What kind of person was he?
Ouyang Bing then turned to Wei Qinghe and said, "Mr. Wei, I apologize for any shortcomings; please bear with us!"
"Hmph!"
Wei Qinghe glared at her fiercely, seeming to have something to say but not knowing how to express it.
After sending the three people away, Ouyang Bing returned to the office, staring at Xiao Yun with her beautiful eyes wide open, pouting her pink lips as she asked, "Beast, are you doing this on purpose to make things difficult for me?"
"What are you talking about, dear? I like you so much that I can't get enough of you. How could I possibly make things difficult for you?" Xiao Yun replied, looking quite aggrieved.
"Rogue, don't give me useless excuses!"
Ouyang Bing paused for a moment and asked, "Tell me honestly, did you take that suitcase?"
Xiao Yun smiled and asked, "What do you think?"
Ouyang Bing pondered for a moment and said, "If I say you didn't take it, then how could the suitcase just disappear? If I say you did take it, there's no evidence. The surveillance footage didn't show anything either. So... what exactly is going on?"
"Haha, if you ask me, who should I ask? Anyway, they've already put the task on your shoulders, so you can figure it out slowly!" Xiao Yun said with a carefree smile.
"You know whether you took it or not."
Ouyang Bing continued with a worried expression, "Xiao Yun, I have to warn you. You know the Flower Family holds power in the capital. You need to be careful. Han Ziqi's father is not like Song Chaoyang; he is not someone ordinary people can afford to offend."
Seeing the concern and worry in her beautiful eyes touched Xiao Yun deeply. He pretended to be nonchalant and smiled as he said, "Sister Bing, don't worry. Actually, I'm not someone ordinary people can easily offend either!"
"Sigh, talking to you makes my heart ache. I'm done talking!" Ouyang Bing said angrily.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun felt a hint of excitement as if he had found an opportunity. His eyes sparkled as they landed on her chest, and with a playful grin he said, "Your heart aches? Since no one is around here, let me give you a massage. You know my hands are quite skilled; just one rub and you'll feel better!"
"Rogue!" A blush crept onto Ouyang Bing's face as she pouted her red lips. However, the voice that came out was not loud; to Xiao Yun's ears, it sounded charming and gentle, like the sweet song of a warbler among the willows.
"Ha ha, take me to visit Cousin Sister Xiaomei sometime. I really miss her a bit!"
"You jerk!"
"Alright, since I'm just a beastly rogue in your eyes, let's find a secluded place and let me be a beastly rogue for once!"
"Get lost—hey, come back! Sister is treating you to lunch!"
"Sure, let's try something new. How about we eat in bed?"
"Get out of here, you rogue..."
Ouyang Bing wished she could kick him out the door.
...
"Uncle Wei, have you found that guy with the surname Xiao?"
In the hospital, Han Ziqi, whose head was wrapped in white bandages, struggled to sit up on the bed and asked.
Wei Qinghe nodded and said, "I found him, but he refuses to admit that he took that suitcase. Besides, neither you nor I have any evidence to prove that guy took it, so we can't really do anything about it for now."
As he spoke, he sat down by Han Ziqi's bedside, looked at him with concern, reached out to touch his face, and sighed, "Your father doesn't know about this yet. If he finds out you lost that suitcase, it will drive him crazy."
"Uncle Wei, please keep this from my dad when we get back to Beijing!" Han Ziqi pleaded.
"I know that already. Your mother also asked me to keep this matter quiet," Wei Qinghe replied.
Then he asked, "Ziqi, what kind of woman is worth you coming all the way from Beijing to find her and confronting that guy with the surname Xiao?"
Hearing Wei Qinghe mention this topic, Han Ziqi suddenly seemed to come alive, his eyes sparkling with excitement as he said, "Uncle Wei, you haven't seen that woman. Her name is An Yiran. Although she's a bit older than me, she has such charm that you can't forget her after just one glance. If you met her, you'd be restless and unable to eat or sleep, thinking about her all the time!"
Wei Qinghe sighed inwardly, thinking to himself that he was the elder here and questioning how this kid spoke.
"Ziqi, how did you meet her?" he asked again.
Han Ziqi replied, "I met her last year at the entertainment club run by An Si Niang. She's An Si Niang's niece. I liked her the moment I saw her, but despite my repeated confessions, she refused me and said she had a boyfriend named Xiao Yun!"
Wei Qinghe said, "Since you know she is involved with Xiao Yun, why are you still pursuing her? Besides, there are plenty of beautiful women in the capital. Even if they are billion-dollar movie stars, if you want one, which one can't you get? Why go to such lengths for this one woman?"
Han Ziqi insisted, "I've had my fill of those movie stars; what I like is the wildness in An Yiran. Uncle Wei, you have to help me win her over!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Qinghe shook his head vigorously and said, "You need to understand that with the power of the Flower Family, getting a woman like her is entirely possible. However, your father is currently in a sensitive position; some things cannot be rushed. Right now, the most important thing is to find that suitcase. Do you understand?"
"I know, but I'm still not satisfied. You have to help me take revenge and kill that Xiao Yun!" Han Ziqi surprisingly choked up like a child.
It's no wonder; someone like him, a pampered young master, probably had never faced such humiliation before!
With Han Ziqi's words reminding him of Xiao Yun's disdain during their time in the Criminal Investigation Team, a flame ignited within Wei Qinghe. His eyes gleamed with cold intensity as he said in a low voice, "Once we find that suitcase, I will make sure that Uncle Wei makes him disappear from this world!"
