Super Soldier King Chapter 64
Hu Yue was extremely frightened, it was as if Li Hao had placed a large dunce cap on him for all to see. Even though w.a.n.g Ping wasnt in charge of the justice department, he was still a high official in the munic.i.p.al committee. He would not need to personally make a move, his network would be sufficient to ruin Hu Yue. Even worse, Hu Yue also had to worry about his own direct superior.
“No… no its not that. Chief Li, you misunderstand. What I wanted to say was that Ye Qian escaped prison last night,” Hu Yue replied.
“What?” Li Hao was shocked. Ye Qians situation involved a lot of people and was very difficult to handle to begin with. Now that he had escaped prison he made the situation much harder, but no matter what, he had to find Ye Qian before Ouyang Chengs people did. “This is how you do your job? How could you let him escape? Quickly, take me to the cells,” Li Hao said angrily.
Hu Yue did not dare to answer back and responded with a succession of submissive yeses as he lead Li Hao into the detention cells. w.a.n.g Yu, Yang Wei and Sun Ji Sheng followed after them.
“Who was on duty last night?” Li Hao asked.
Hu Yue quickly gave Sun Ji Sheng a meaningful look and Sun Ji Sheng stepped forward, trembling, and said, “It… it was me.”
Li Hao shot him a look and asked, “What happened? Explain carefully.”
Sun Ji Sheng repeated the story he told w.a.n.g Yu. Li Hao coldly snorted at his explanation, “So the prisoner didnt escape because he was being extorted for a confession under torture?”
Sun Ji Sheng was visibly shocked. With Ye Qians formidable skills, how could he dare to do such a thing. “No… no I didnt do that,” Sun Ji Sheng stammered.
Li Hao snorted coldly and did not say anything else.
Li Hao deliberately slowed his steps, when he reached w.a.n.g Yus side he whispered in her ear, “Xiao Yu, I spoke about this matter with your father this morning. Ye Qians problem is most likely much bigger than it seems. During the arrest you have to be there to make sure n.o.body does anything too rash. Understand?”
Li Hao was a direct subordinate of w.a.n.g Ping so he was often in the w.a.n.g residence. w.a.n.g Yu was naturally very familiar with him. “Big Brother Li, are you afraid theyll kill him to silence him?” w.a.n.g Yu asked.
“Yes, its a possibility we have to consider. For reasons concerning the public and yourself you should find a way to protect Ye Qian. Do not let the enemy get to him first. Deputy Secretary w.a.n.g is already on the move, at this critical moment, we cant let anything happen to Ye Qian. Moreover, hes my own brother, I dont want to see anything bad happen to him,” answered Li Hao.
“Even if you didnt ask, its what I planned to do. Dont worry Big Brother Li, I wont let anything happen to Ye Qian,” w.a.n.g Yu replied resolutely.
Li Hao was a little surprised at w.a.n.g Yus determined appearance. He had a feeling that something strange was going on but he could not put the feeling into words.
w.a.n.g Ping and Li Hao ended their discussion when they neared the detention cells. When the group reached the entrance to the detention room, they all stared in shock. Right in front of them was Ye Qian lounging comfortably on the bed with droopy eyelids, his back leaning against the white wall where a group of prisoners were deferentially giving him a ma.s.sage.
Ye Qian was not an idiot. Escape from prison? Wasnt that giving the opponent an opportunity to get rid of him for good? Besides, nothing would happen to him as long as he stayed in the police station. All of his actions last night were only so that he could find out who it was that was framing him. Now that he knew and even had proof of Ouyang Chengs misdeeds in his grasp, there was no need to run away. After leaving Ouyang Chengs villa last night, he had Li Wei deliver the doc.u.ments to w.a.n.g Ping, then snuck back into his cell. Ye Qian did not really know what sort of relationship w.a.n.g Ping and Ouyang Cheng had. He only thought that since they were co-deputy secretaries and the election for the munic.i.p.al committee was coming up, then they must be rivals. w.a.n.g Pingwas naturally the perfect person to do all the dirty work for him.
To Ye Qian, this dilapidated police department could not stop him. If he wanted to leave he could leave, and if he wanted to come back he would come back. Just as he did in Manchurias CIA, he came and went as he wanted.
n.o.body was more surprised than Yang Wei and Sun Ji Sheng. They orchestrated Ye Qians escape. Even though they did not see Ye Qian leave with their own eyes, they saw that he was no longer present when they woke up. Looking at Ye Qian relaxed on the bed, getting a ma.s.sage from the inmates, Yang Wei and Sun Ji Sheng did not know whether to laugh or to cry.
When w.a.n.g Yu and Li Hao saw that Ye Qian did not in fact escape, they let out sighs of relief. Li Hao slowly turned his head and glared at Hu Yue coldly, “Didnt you say the suspect escaped?”
Hu Yue could only swallow his words and suffer his silence. He had only just arrived at the precinct when Sun Ji Sheng reported to him. How could he have foreseen that Sun Ji Sheng would try to trick him. Hu Yue turned to Sun Ji Sheng angrily and said, “Sun Ji Sheng, what is the meaning of this? Didnt you say that the suspect escaped last night? How will you explain this now?”
“I.. I… last night Yang Wei and I really were knocked out, and then the prisoner escaped. I dont understand what is happening. If you dont believe me you can ask Yang Wei,” said Sun Ji Sheng. He did not know what ghost he was looking at, how could the suspect appear here now?
“What Ji Sheng said is true. Last night the suspect really did knock us out and escape,” Yang Wei replied.
“Then how will you explain this? How come the suspect is here now? Could he have gone crazy and was possessed to come back by himself?” Hu Yue roared.
When he heard Hu Yues words, Ye Qian, who was enjoying royal treatment, knitted his brows. These words were difficult to hear, d.a.m.n him, wasnt he being quite insulting?
“This… this… I dont know.” Sun Ji Sheng said, completely at a loss. He could not help mumbling to himself, “This… this ghost!”
Li Hao did not feel inclined to push the issue. As long as Ye Qian was safe, everything was alright. He opened the cell door and walked in. He could not help smiling when he saw Ye Qians appearance, “Erge, how refined and elegant you are. Even now you seem to not have a care in the world.”
Ye Qian waved his hand to signal the inmates to stop. Then he replied to Li Hao with a laugh, “This only shows my inner quality, if not its because Im too stupid, haha.”
