Chapter 285: Chapter 292 Arrival

"Who do you think you are, brazenly barging into the Public Security Bureau’s interrogation room like this!" Zhao Tao did not recognize the few people, and as he was about to take action, he was interrupted once again and immediately bellowed angrily.

"I am Song Zhentao!" the man leading the group said in a deep voice, his expression indescribably unpleasant.

"I don’t care if you’re Song Zhentao or Song Zhenhai—this is a police station, so get out!" With Song Ziqiao there, Zhao Tao did not take anyone else seriously.

"Slap!" A crisp slap sounded, and Qian Liben, with a face ashen with anger, shouted, "You bastard, he’s the Municipal Party Secretary."

"Ah!" Zhao Tao, touching his face, was suddenly dumbfounded; he had actually just cursed the Municipal Party Secretary—wasn’t this seeking death?

Song Ziqiao stood up, laughed awkwardly, and said, "Secretary Song, what brings you here?"

Song Zhentao looked at Song Ziqiao with a stern face and said, "Song Ziqiao, you’ve really got some nerve, turning the Public Security Bureau into a place for seeking personal revenge."

Song Ziqiao’s face changed. Although he had backing from the province, he dared not underestimate a Municipal Party Secretary. After all, his future promotion still required a positive assessment from this side. If he had a bad reputation here, even with the great influence of his family’s elder, it would be very troublesome when the time came.

Normally, his subordinates would flatter him, saying that even the Municipal Party Secretary was not as effective as him, but he knew well that it was his family’s elder whom the Municipal Party Secretary feared, not him. As long as he stayed out of trouble, the Secretary would offer him face, but if he gave the Secretary an excuse, he could easily be dealt with.

However, even if he were at fault in this matter, there was no need for Song Zhentao to reprimand him so publicly, completely leaving him without any face.

"Secretary Song, I will give you a detailed report on this matter."

"Report my ass, this is the Public Security Bureau, what are you doing here? Is this your office?"

Song Ziqiao’s face darkened as Song Zhentao cursed him in public. Where could he tolerate this, he said with a deep voice, "Secretary Song, even if this matter is my fault and I accept your criticism, was there really a need to curse me?"

Song Zhentao snorted coldly and said, "These gentlemen are from the Discipline Inspection Commission, you can talk to them about any issues later."

"Discipline Inspection Commission?" Song Ziqiao’s eyes widened, unable to believe that Song Zhentao would bring the Discipline Inspection Commission here, intent on dealing him a deadly blow.

"Song Ziqiao, you are now under ’triple regulations,’ please cooperate with our work," a man stepped forward to Song Ziqiao with a face full of seriousness.

Li Yifei, who had not spoken until now, suddenly said out loud, "Secretary Song, I have a recording here, I wonder if it can be taken as evidence."

Song Zhentao immediately responded, "Of course, it can."

Li Yifei quickly pulled out his mobile phone and said, "I recorded how they were torturing me during the interrogation."

Qian Liben’s face instantly turned pale with shock. With Song Ziqiao being taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission, even if it was related to this case, it wouldn’t be a big problem for him, but if there was a recording, his involvement in the torture could not be denied.

Zhao Tao and Zhang Sheng felt even weaker at this moment. This matter could be made a big deal or a small one, and if seriously pursued, they would not only be expelled from the police force but might be implicated in other cases, which would truly be disastrous for them.

What scared them the most, however, was that it was the Municipal Party Secretary, no less, who had come to deal with the matter, and from the looks of it, he was determined to deal with it harshly.

Moreover, they regretted not having taken Li Yifei’s mobile phone away from the start, a serious oversight on their part. But even if they were now kicking themselves, it was too late for regrets.

Song Ziqiao suddenly realized something—Li Yifei had dared to oppose him repeatedly, which did not seem like the behavior of an ordinary person. Now that he had just captured Li Yifei, the Municipal Party Secretary had personally intervened and brought the Discipline Inspection Commission to sort him out. This was surely no coincidence. Furthermore, the manager of the Yiyun Clubhouse had specially told him that Li Yifei was someone with significant backing, yet he had not believed it, until now, when he suddenly did.

Staring hard at Li Yifei, Song Ziqiao said darkly, "Li Yifei, you’ve won for now, but I really want to know, who exactly are you?"

Li Yifei smiled slightly and lit another cigarette, saying, "If you just did your job properly, you wouldn’t need to worry about who I am. But if you abuse your power for wrongdoing, then any person you’ve bullied might turn out to have a very significant background."

"Fine, fine, you won’t tell me, but I will find out. Let me tell you, you may have won this time, but it doesn’t mean I will always lose. I will take my revenge."

Secretary Song gave a meaningful glance to his colleagues from the Discipline Inspection Commission, and they immediately took Song Ziqiao away.

It was only then that Director Sun Lijun, along with several Deputy Directors, hurried over. Just as they were about to speak, Song Zhentao sternly stated, "I need a detailed report, as well as an explanation of how this matter will be handled. I expect to see it in my office tomorrow."

After finishing, he gave Li Yifei another look and turned to leave.

Several directors hurried out, leaving only Qian Liben, Zhao Tao, and Zhang Sheng there, dumbfounded.

"Hey, can I go now?" Li Yifei asked with a smile.

Each of the three men jolted, unsure of what to do at that moment, but before they could decide, Sun Lijun charged in, shouting loudly, "Aren’t you releasing him yet?"

Zhao Tao went over with a start to unlock Li Yifei’s handcuffs, and at this time, Sun Lijun was repeatedly apologizing to Li Yifei. He wasn’t aware of Li Yifei’s identity, but today’s incident had started because of Li Yifei. If he didn’t soothe Li Yifei and Li Yifei made a fuss, his position as director would be at great risk.

Li Yifei didn’t make it hard for Sun Lijun. With Song Ziqiao here, these people were also somewhat helpless. As for how to deal with it, that was something for Song Zhentao and the others to decide; it had nothing to do with him.

As he walked out of the first-floor corridor, Li Yifei saw several beautiful women, all of whom were looking his way. Michelle, in particular, dashed forward two steps and grabbed Li Yifei’s arm, her eyes reddening as she said, "Brother Li, are you alright?"

Li Yifei smiled and said, "Do I look like I’m not alright?"

"Mmhmm!" Michelle nodded repeatedly, suddenly throwing herself into Li Yifei’s arms and hugging his waist tightly, starting to cry softly.

This catched Li Yifei slightly off guard since Xu Yingying and He Fangqing were watching from across the room, not to mention Lin Qiong, who had a weird expression. Xu Yingying wasn’t too much of an issue since nothing had happened between them, but he’d had relationships with both He Fangqing and Lin Qiong. Now, with Michelle hugging him, he couldn’t help feeling a bit uneasy.

Yet how could he ignore Michelle’s affection? The promises and sorrow when he was taken away were not something that just any girl could muster. Seeing him released and reacting so emotionally, if he didn’t respond now, he really wouldn’t be a man. He opened his arms and embraced Michelle’s shoulders, patting her gently and saying softly, "Stop crying, see, I’m fine."

Michelle slowly stopped crying and gently let go of Li Yifei, her cheeks flushed as she said, "It’s good you’re okay, Brother Li, you really scared me."

"It’s my fault, let’s go; so many people are watching."

Reminded by Li Yifei, Michelle remembered the others watching and her face turned bright red. She quickly took two steps back and lowered her head, too shy to look at Li Yifei again.

Moved, Li Yifei took the initiative to take Michelle’s hand and led her to where Xu Yingying and the others were, saying, "Heh, I appreciate you all rushing over."

Xu Yingying should have been happy to see Li Yifei come out, but seeing him with Michelle soured her mood, leaving her with an unenthusiastic tone toward Li Yifei. She snorted, "You even know you’ve inconvenienced us, always causing trouble and making us worry about you."

Li Yifei answered playfully, "Yes, yes, it’s my fault. I’m so thankful for President Xu’s concern; I promise it won’t happen again."

"Humph, as long as you know," Xu Yingying rolled her eyes at Li Yifei and, turning on her heel, clacked her high heels towards the exit.

He Fangqing seemed rather amused as she looked at Li Yifei and said, "You guy, it looks like you’re in for a tough time."

Li Yifei chuckled dryly, "No problem, no problem."

Both were speaking with double meanings, but neither Lin Qiong nor Michelle caught on.

"All right, I’m leaving with President Xu first," He Fangqing chuckled again before turning around and following Xu Yingying out.

Li Yifei took Michelle by the hand to Lin Qiong. Lin Qiong snorted and pulled Michelle over, saying, "Michelle, what are you...?"

Michelle’s face grew redder, but she bravely met Lin Qiong’s gaze and said, "Lin Qiong, I like Brother Li."

Lin Qiong’s feelings were hard to describe. "But he already has a girlfriend."

Michelle bit her lip, resolute as she said, "I know, but I still like him. I won’t force Brother Li; nor will I interfere with his relationship with his girlfriend. However, if things don’t work out with his girlfriend, I will definitely be with him."

Lin Qiong’s mouth twitched, "Do you even know he’s been involved with other women and even had... relationships?" As she said this, she felt somewhat distasteful, but she couldn’t help saying it anyway.

Michelle smiled faintly, "I won’t mind Brother Li’s past. Besides, we’re modern people. It’s normal to have relationships when dating. Moreover, I just like Brother Li, and he’s not my boyfriend now, so I have no right to interfere with his freedom."

Lin Qiong sighed, "You really are foolish." After that, she gave Li Yifei another glance and walked away.

Michelle savored Lin Qiong’s words; she seemed foolish indeed, but she found this kind of foolishness sweet. What harm is there in being foolish for love just once?
