Chapter 18

"What the hell is happening here?"

Taking a look at Ye Xuan on the ground, who was covered in blood, Murong Bing frowned.

Then her gaze fell towards the banquet hall where she had seen Li Mubai pinching Su Qingyue's chin.

He looked at her from a distance and playfully smiled at her. This was a clear provocation to her!

Murong Bing wasn't a stranger to Li Mubai, the No.1 Youth in Jinghai.

But since she had arrived at Jinghai, she knew Li Mubai as only a playboy who would indulge in eating, drinking, and playing. He didn't participate in illegal activities at any time.

But now...

After seeing him like this, Murong Bing's first impression of Li Mubai was that he was bullying people, and was stealing other people from their girls!

"Ahem, Officer, the thing is that..."

Seeing Li Mubai who had no intention to speak, Chen Guozheng, who had the second most important identity in the city, immediately started to explain.

If it was before, he wouldn't even care to explain to an insignificant Captain.

But as Li Mubai was here, he had to stand up and explain in Li Mubai's stead.

After all, with Li Mubai's identity, the Li family would never allow falling such a disgrace on his name!

Soon, under Chen Guozheng's initiative, Chen Feng narrated everything and things became clear.

It turned out that Ye Xuan maliciously injured Chen Feng and his two bodyguards and arrogantly insulted him.

It so happened that Young Master Li was here who happened to see the injustice and spoke out in a righteous manner.

But Ye Xuan ignored it and wanted to injury him instead.

In self-defense Young Master Li made a move to subdue Ye Xuan making him halt his actions.

Then Chen Guozheng was informed that his son was beaten and he made an appearance with his bodyguards.

Fearing that Ye Xuan would hurt people, he was surrounded by the group rendering him temporarily incapable of injuring people...

"Oh, what a perfect explanation!"

A cold smile surfaced on Murong Bing's face.

In her heart, she didn't believe what was said in the slightest!

The thing that Chen Feng told her was just to clear Li Mubai out.

If Li Mubai did legitimately defend himself, she wouldn't have seen that scene on her arrival.

In addition to that, Li Mubai even provocatively smiled at her.

As Murong Bing couldn't trust what both the Chen's said, she found random people in the crowd to enquire about what happened.

As a result, the explanations she received from them were all the same!

It wasn't much different from the explanation that Chen Feng had given her.

"Oh, Bring all the people back to the station for everyone to make a statement!

"Also, send all the surveillance footage present here to the station. If anyone tells me that the surveillance system is broken, they would be immediately arrested!"

Murong Bing coldly gave the order.

She still didn't trust anyone's explanation!

She couldn't believe how every person gave her the same explanation when asked!

In an instant, when the crowd heard that Murong Bing wanted them to visit the station for one on one interrogation, they were enraged.

The incident took place in the first place just because Ye Xuan went up to hurt someone, halting the commencing of the chamber.

But now not only these police officers asked them for an explanation, but even wanted to take them back one on one for the investigation.

How could they stand it?

In a moment, a random person in the crowd voiced out furiously, "We have businesses that fetch several million yuan a minute. Can you afford to pay for it if you cause us any delay?"

"Yes, We want to complain. Not only did you fail to guarantee our safety, but even wasted our valuable time. Are we paying our taxes just for you to eat and sleep?"

"..."

"Captain... everyone present here were all respected figures in the society..."

As vice-captain heard what was said by a few, he rushed over and informed.

Things were already clear after all and it wasn't really a big case, to begin with.

If they did take these people back in the name of investigation, he was afraid that by tomorrow...

No, by today everyone in the city would get to know of the news.

They would then be harshly criticized by the public!

"I had already ordered you to take everyone back to the station. Are you deaf?"

However, Murong Bing continued to speak coldly as she believed in her own intuition which made her think that there was indeed something wrong going on!

"But..."

The vice-captain still hesitated.

"What's the problem?... I will take charge of this matter. All you need to do is to follow my orders!"

Murong Bing's voice turned colder.

"Yes, I understand!"

Seeing this, the vice-captain could no longer dare to speak.

He conveyed the orders to the rest of his team members.

"Young Master Li, please follow us!"

On the other hand, Murong Bing walked up to Li Mubai and spoke coldly.

Li Mubai had already let go of Su Qingyue at the moment and was busy taking another sip of tea.

When Murong Bing walked over, he just took a single glance at her which made Murong Bing sneer at him.

But just when she thought that Li Mubai would certainly protest, against her expectations, Li Mubai put down his teacup and nodded with a friendly smile: "It is my honor. I think I'd have to trouble the officer."

Well...

Murong Bing froze for a moment.

Never did she expect that Li Mubai would actually comply with her with ease!

Could it be that she had guessed it wrong?

It was impossible!

Her intuition had never been wrong!

Just as she was dazed, Li Mubai had already stood up and smiled at her, "Let's take our leave, Officer Murong."

Huh?

How did he know Murong was her surname?

Murong Bing became alarmed in an instant!

Her ice-cold pair of eyes were ghastly staring at Li Mubai!
