The caller was actually Lady Chu, the current real power holder behind Beijing's underground forces—Chu Yao.
In recent days, Xia Tian had been busy with Muye while Chu Yao was equally occupied. Thus, they hadn't seen each other. When he first received her call, Xia Tian thought that his wife, Yao Yao, missed him, but soon realized it wasn’t just about that.
These past few days, Chu Yao had been working hard to integrate Beijing's underground forces despite the assistance of the Chang Family and Bai Xiaolei. Although it seemed like an easy task on paper, in reality, merging these two factions was not a simple matter. Additionally, she needed to establish her authority here personally. As such, she handled many matters herself, and the results were quite satisfactory.
At first, everyone's understanding of Chu Yao had been singular—she was Xia Tian's woman. In their view, Chu Yao merely represented him or was his puppet; in reality, she wasn't significant on her own. However, over these few days, they discovered that their initial perception was entirely wrong. Chu Yao wasn’t just Xia Tian’s woman, but with her abilities, she could lead Beijing's underground forces herself.
After redrawing management areas and interweaving the personnel from the Chang Family and Bai Xiaolei, the factions on Beijing's streets had almost completed their integration and were showing initial signs of merging. However, thorough fusion would require time for everyone to adjust—it couldn’t be achieved overnight. For Chu Yao, her main task was essentially complete; she planned to hand over management to Chang Xiaobao and Bai Xiaolei in a few days.
But at this moment, an unexpected trouble she hadn't anticipated came knocking.
Chu Yao had mostly stayed at the Chang Family's residence recently. Today was no exception; she returned around six o'clock. After dinner, police officers showed up at her doorstep.
Mixing with the police was common when operating underground, but for Chu Yao, this wasn't unusual. What puzzled her was that while the police seemed indifferent to the upheaval caused by the Beijing underground forces a few days ago, why were they now causing trouble when things had settled down
But what happened next was even stranger. The police started giving her trouble, but it wasn't because of the usual reasons; instead, it was for something else, something related to Doctor Yi Xiaoyin, whom she had met a few days ago.
A girl named Ah Jiu is said to be Doctor Yi's maid. A couple of days ago, Ah Jiu was shot twice and almost died. This incident was already well-known in the capital city, and Chu Yao naturally knew about it too. However, she didn't pay much attention to it because she felt that it wasn't really her business since she wasn't close with Doctor Yi Xiaoyin, and her husband hadn’t asked her to handle this matter.
Now, however, the police believed that the mastermind behind Ah Jiu's shooting was none other than Chu Yao herself!
The police claimed that they had initially found the gunman two days ago, but he committed suicide, seemingly resolving the case. However, today someone came forward to confess that he was actually the real gunman and that the one who committed suicide previously wasn't the actual shooter. The most important thing is that this person said he received orders from Chu Yao.
Chu Yao found it bewildering; how did she become a mastermind behind this case out of nowhere
What made Chu Yao even more exasperated was that the police had also found her a motive for the crime—jealousy. They claimed she was jealous because Doctor Yi Xiaoyin and Summer were together, but instead of killing Doctor Yi herself, she ordered someone to kill Ah Jiu as an act of revenge.
"Are you guys crazy or do you think I'm crazy" Chu Yao angrily retorted at the police officers. "Jealousy Do you know how many women my husband has Let me tell you: in Beijing alone, he's got at least half a dozen! If I were jealous, why would I only target Doctor Yi"
"Miss Chu, this isn't something we're saying; it's what the suspect admitted to," one of the police officers responded politely. It seemed they didn’t want to make things difficult for her, but they did seem quite troubled: "We apologize, Miss Chu, but there are many people in the capital city who care about this case, and we must handle it carefully. We suggest that if you have any misunderstandings with Miss Yi, you tell Summer so he can help mediate."
Chu Yao didn't feel like she had any misunderstandings with Doctor Yi Xiaoyin, but the police's suggestion did make her realize this was something she needed to inform Summer about; otherwise, if Summer misunderstood as well, it would be a bigger problem. So, she immediately called Summer.
This is how the summer season left without eating, immediately departing from the Dark Team base. Mei'er and Mu Han did not accompany him, but Gu Hanshuang remained by his side as always.
However, instead of going to the Chang family residence, he headed straight for the municipal police station and instructed Chu Yao to meet him there; it was not because he wanted her to assist with an investigation, but because the man claiming to be the murderer was currently in custody at the police station, and Summer intended to personally interrogate him.
Summer immediately sought out Chief Luo Minsheng. When Chu Yao arrived at the municipal police station, Luo Minsheng looked at Summer with a difficult expression: "Doctor of Medicine Summer, well, you're not a policeman. It might not be appropriate for you to personally interrogate suspects."
"Do you think I'll take that idiot back to the Dark Team for interrogation" Summer glared at Luo Minsheng. "Old Man Luo, do you believe I can get all six thousand police officers in Beijing hospitalized tomorrow and leave you with no subordinates, making you a lone commander"
Luo Minsheng immediately relented; hearing that Summer was using his Dark Team status to pressure him had already made him cave. Upon hearing the latter part of what he said, Luo Minsheng clearly understood that even if Summer wasn't the Dark Emperor, he still couldn't help but let him interrogate the murderer.
Thus, accompanied personally by Chief Luo Minsheng, Summer and Chu Yao quickly met with the murderer in an interrogation room. The man appeared to be around thirty years old and had a rather ordinary appearance. Gu Hanshuang stood at the entrance of the interrogation room, attracting countless police officers' attention. However, Gu Hanshuang's psychological resilience was commendable; he showed no reaction whatsoever.
"Doctor of Medicine Summer, his name is Chang Sifang. He is one of the enforcers from the Chang family and claims to have received orders from Miss Chu to shoot someone in Yiren Pavilion," Luo Minsheng briefly introduced the situation.
“Do you know me” Chu Yao looked at Chang Sifang and asked.
"Of course, you are Miss Chu," a look of fear appeared on Chang Sifang's face.
"You said I told you to go and kill someone at the Lotus Pavilion" Chu Yao asked again.
"Miss Chu, indeed, it was you who sent me," Chang Sifang cautiously replied.
"Nonsense! Do I need your help if I want to kill someone" Chu Yao angrily retorted.
Summer then spoke up: "Xiao Yao, don't use foul language."
"I really want to cut this bastard's head off with a single stroke; how dare he frame me!" Chu Yao said indignantly but didn’t swear further.
"Miss... Miss Chu, that night you were very busy and thus asked me to do it," Chang Sifang said once more.
Chu Yao was immediately furious again: "Nonsense! If you don't stop talking rubbish, do you believe I won’t cut you into 108 pieces"
"Snap!" Summer lightly smacked Chu Yao's buttocks as a small punishment. "Xiao Yao, I already told you not to swear. Besides, let me interrogate this guy."
Chu Yao obediently quieted down, while Summer had already produced silver needles and quickly stabbed them into Chang Sifang; he wanted to find out who exactly sent this guy to spread lies.
Ten minutes later, Xia Tian formally began the interrogation, starting right to the point with his first question: "Was it you who shot and injured Ah Jiu"
"It was me," Chang Sifang answered.
"Who ordered you to kill Ah Jiu" Xia Tian asked again.
"Young Master Cheng," Chang Sifang immediately replied.
Lu Minsheng, standing by the side, was instantly taken aback. Chu Yao couldn't help but jump in: "I knew this bastard was framing me intentionally!"
"Which Young Master Cheng" Xia Tian asked again.
"I don’t know. He just said he’s Young Master Cheng. He gave me ten thousand yuan and told me to kill Ah Jiu," Chang Sifang answered: "Today, he instructed me to come to the police station for self-surrendering and promised to give me a million yuan as compensation and guarantee that I won’t be sentenced to death. He also told me to tell the (censored) police officers that the mastermind behind this crime is Chu Yao."
"Doctor Xia, wait a moment. I’ll go fetch some photos for you to have him identify," Lu Minsheng whispered and then left the interrogation room.
Several minutes later, Lu Minsheng came back with some photos and placed them in front of Chang Sifang: "Is this Young Master Cheng that you mentioned here"
Chang Sifang took a look and immediately pointed out someone: "It's him."
"Sure enough, it's that bastard Cheng ZhiGao!" Chu Yao instantly cursed: "Don't tell me the Cheng family group of bastards aren't tired of living They keep antagonizing us one after another!"
"Mm-hmm, since they're not tired of living, then let's send them on their way." Xia Tian lazily said as he pulled Chu Yao up. "Yao Yao wife, let's go settle accounts with the Cheng family."
Xia Tian pulled Chu Yao out of the interrogation room and left quickly with Gu Hanshuang. As for Luo Minsheng, naturally, he wouldn't say anything at this moment either; in fact, he didn't dare offend Xia Tian to begin with, so when those police officers came looking for Chu Yao tonight, they were always very polite. And now the result was exactly what Luo Minsheng wanted; in reality, he had always hoped that Chu Yao wasn't the mastermind behind this, otherwise things would be troublesome.
However, as soon as Xia Tian disappeared from sight, Luo Minsheng immediately picked up his phone and dialed a number.
At the same time, Summer, who had just walked out of the city police station, also took out his phone and dialed Yi Xiaoyin's number.
"What is it" This time around, Yi Xiaoyin answered quickly.
"Yi wife, I've found that guy who fired at Xiang Jiuxiu. He's being held in the city police station right now." Xia Tian said hurriedly.ut me; I'm not giving you any!""Fine, if you're not going to share, then you're a miser!" Fang Xiaoru was somewhat unhappy. How could there be such a petty manXia Tian pursed his lips. So what if he w...
