After Tang Yu and his companion walked out of the office, Long Ya revealed a satisfied smile inside the general manager's office.

He walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, took out his phone, and dialed Ye Chen's number.

As soon as the call connected, he spoke respectfully.

"Dragon King, the retaliation against Mingyue Hotel is complete. I forced that Tang brat to sell the hotel to us for five billion."

"Oh?" The voice on the other end of the line held a hint of joy.

Mingyue Hotel was a place where he had been humiliated.

That Long Ya was able to buy it so cheaply meant he had earned over ten billion in one fell swoop.

His ability was indeed still quite excellent!

"You did well with this matter, but this is only collecting a bit of interest."

Ye Chen gave an arrogant laugh and then asked, "Right, what about that man surnamed Wang?"

A dog of the Tang Family dared to reprimand him in public!

He had to die!

"I have already had people look into it; he flew to Africa a few days ago."

"Send someone over to kill him. Those who insult me must die without exception."

Ye Chen commanded.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen put it away and gave a wicked smile.

Having suffered so many losses in Suhang, he had finally vented some of his pent-up anger!

This was just a bit of interest; the real show was only just beginning.

Chi Yin had already obtained some confidential documents for him, and his other pieces were all being set into place.

The entire Suhang was nothing more than a chessboard for him to test his skills!

West District Police Station.

An extremely beautiful policewoman was sitting in front of a computer, frowning in deep thought as she stared at several files.

The case regarding Mingyue Hotel from a few days ago was still under investigation.

This case was definitely a homicide.

But Bai Wanyi could not find any evidence, which left her feeling incredibly frustrated, and she had spent the last few days stuck in front of her computer trying to figure out how to solve it.

"Captain Bai, do you want to take a break? You didn't get any proper rest last night, did you?"

A young police officer walked over, concerned.

"It's fine. Why sleep so long while alive? There will be plenty of time for long sleep after death."

Bai Wanyi waved her hand and pushed her cup toward her colleague, saying, "Help me brew another cup of black coffee."

"Alright."

The young officer looked at her with a hint of heartache; Captain Bai was far too serious about her work.

If only she would relax occasionally and date someone like me, how nice would that be?

When the coffee was brewed and brought over, Bai Wanyi took a sip; the bitterness made her feel completely alert.

Just then, her laptop suddenly chimed.

She quickly took a look and discovered that someone had sent her an email.

Her intuition told her that this email, sent to her private inbox, was an extremely important clue.

She hurriedly clicked on the email, and her pupils instantly constricted.

This email was related to Mingyue Hotel, but it had nothing to do with the murder case; instead, it involved narcotics.

"Quick, call Director Wang over."

She slammed her hand on the desk and shouted at her colleague.

The colleague snapped out of his daze and ran off to fetch their superior.

The leader known as Director Wang was a middle-aged man with a square face who looked full of integrity.

After he walked over and looked at Bai Wanyi, he said with concern.

"Wanyi, it's not that I want to lecture you, but a pretty young girl like you working late every day—your dark circles are starting to look like a panda's."

"Look at this first."

Bai Wanyi moved her chair aside to let her superior see the email.

After Director Wang took one look, his expression instantly turned grave.

If the clues in this email were true, this was a major case.

If you like this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

"Call a meeting immediately. Form a task force to investigate, and I will lead the team personally."

Director Wang shouted his orders.

Soon, the entire West District Police Station sprang into action.

After the two-hour meeting concluded, the investigation team left the bureau to begin their inquiries.

Bai Wanyi wanted to join the investigation team as well, but Director Wang refused, telling her to eat and get some proper rest first.

Feeling somewhat dejected, she changed into casual clothes and went out to grab a bite.

She wasn't picky about food and usually ate at a roadside food stall across from the bureau.

Just as she reached the entrance of the stall, someone greeted her.

"Officer Bai."

She turned to look, and after a few seconds of thought, she remembered his name and smiled. "Ye Chen, right?"

She had met him a while back.

At the time, there was a pickpocket on a bus.

He had acted bravely to stop the thief.

As it turned out, after getting off the bus, the pickpocket brought people back to retaliate against him, but he had knocked all of them to the ground.

She was quite surprised when she went to make the arrests; this guy was hiding his true skills, so she had a slight impression of him.

However, what left the deepest impression was his smile.

She always felt... it was a bit strange.

"I thought Officer Bai wouldn't remember my name."

Ye Chen instinctively gave a wicked smile, the corners of his mouth curling high.

At this moment, he was carrying a shabby snake-skin bag filled with various plastic bottles and the like.

"Are you developing a side hustle?"

Seeing him like this, Bai Wanyi couldn't help but find it amusing.

"No, I just ran into an old lady. She's quite old and still picking up bottles, which looked really difficult, so I helped her bring the bottles back and bought her some fruit."

Ye Chen sighed.

Hearing him say this, Bai Wanyi felt a bit more favorably toward him.

This man was actually quite kind-hearted?

"Are you about to eat? Why don't we eat together? I'll be right back after dropping off these bottles."

Ye Chen pointed to the food stall nearby and smiled.

"No need, I'm just going to get takeout and head back; I still have work to handle."

Bai Wanyi gave a carefree smile, waved her hand, and walked into the shop to order.

Ye Chen didn't pester her further.

When picking up women, one had to know their limits.

A woman who could be won over in one step could just as easily be won over by another man in one step.

The more top-tier the beauty, the more slowly one had to proceed to make her devoted and even willing to join your harem.

After carrying the bag of plastic bottles a short distance away, he tossed it into a trash can.

He had bought it from an old scavenger woman for ten yuan just before he arrived.

The only reason he spent ten yuan was because he didn't have any smaller denominations on him.

This bag of plastic bottles wasn't even worth five yuan.

"If I arrange a few more meetings, it should be about enough. This type of woman is actually quite easy to pick up."

Ye Chen smiled smugly.

With two intentionally arranged meetings, he already had enough confidence.

Bai Wanyi—this was a woman he had to win over.

Not only was she outstandingly beautiful, ranking among the top beauties in Suhang, but her family background was also quite extraordinary.

Although the Bai Family was not one of the four great families of Suhang, their influence was terrifying.

They were a political family, and half of the political scene in Suhang consisted of their protégés and former subordinates.

To control Suhang, one could not do without the power of the Bai Family!

He went to the side of the road to wash his hands, then hurriedly caught a ride to his next destination.

He still had to go and build rapport with other beauties.
