Yang Ming wasn’t anxious but Xia Xue was. It didn’t take long for the phone to ring again.

Yang Ming glanced at the caller ID. He helplessly picked up the phone. “What else?”

“Yang Ming, where are you going? Why haven’t you arrived yet?” Xia Xue seemed to have forgotten what she had just said and asked Yang Ming where he was going.

“…” Yang Ming was speechless for a while. Isn’t this too powerful? So he laughed. “Aren’t you not letting me go?”

“Who said that? Don’t be shameless. If you are a man, follow the agreement and hurry up!” Xia Xue raised the matter’s severity to his manliness.

“Alright, wait for me.” Yang Ming thought to himself. I’m not a man if I don’t go. If you say so, can I still not go? Besides, I did agree to Xia Xue. I shouldn’t refuse when I need to treat her to a meal.

Yang Ming hid the book about voodoo. This kind of thing is better not to be seen by my parents. It’s to prevent my father from saying that I’m ignoring a proper occupation. People in Dad’s generation are atheists. They wouldn’t believe in such things. Worse come to worst, they might accuse me of spreading superstition.

After saying goodbye to his family, Yang Ming rushed to the Blue Fish Bar near Xia Xue’s home. The owner of Blue Fish Bar recognized Yang Ming, the guy who carried Xia Xue and left with her last time. He smiled at Yang Ming ambiguously, “Looking for Xia Xue? She is in the innermost seat, the same old seat.”

Yang Ming nodded and walked over. Xia Xue was already drunk. Seeing Yang Ming, she pointed at the opposite seat. “Sit.”

“What’s wrong?” Yang Ming looked at the row of beer bottles in front of Xia Xue. He knew that Xia Xue was definitely having a problem.

“Accompany me for a drink! Boss, give me another ten bottles of beer. I want Song Jiang Beer!” Xia Xue waved her hand to the boss.

Only Xia Xue was capable of drinking a large bottle of Song Jiang Beer in this stylish bar! However, the boss was obviously very familiar with Xia Xue. He wasn’t bothered. Hearing Xia Xue’s voice, the waiter carried another box of beer.

However, there was still a difference between the beer in the bar and the food stalls outside. The packaging was high-end. The price was also expensive.

“It’s daytime. Why do you suddenly want to have a drink?” Yang Ming shook his head, picked up a bottle of beer, and patted Xia Xue.

“I was suspended by Captain Chen.” Xia Xue sighed and said. “Isn’t it funny?”

“What’s so funny about it?” Yang Ming frowned. “If I wanted to laugh at you, I wouldn’t have come! Let’s talk. What’s the matter?”

“There are confidentiality regulations. I can’t tell you.” He didn’t expect Xia Xue who drank alcohol to still have an alert mind. She didn’t say anything that she shouldn’t say.

“I see that 80% was your short-sighted vision and the impatient tendency to seek success. In the end, you were overreaching yourself.” Yang Ming snorted without giving much thought about it. Xia Xue was probably suspended because of this.

” Huh ? How did you know?” Xia Xue asked, “Did Captain Chen tell you?”

Yang Ming found it a little funny. Do I need to be told for this? I’m clear about what kind of person you are in my heart – a clumsy person who is unable to do anything right. But, looking at Xia Xue’s depressed mood, he couldn’t say that out loud. Hence, he had to comfort her. “No, but a suspension is usually portrayed like this on TV!”

“You are right… Ai , how can I be so stupid? I wanted to solve a big case, but it ended badly in the end, ruining everyone’s plan!” Xia Xue said with a bit of sadness.

“Doesn’t everyone make mistakes?” Yang Ming advised. “How long is your suspension?”

“One month… It is said to be a month, but I really don’t know how long it will be…” Xia Xue sighed. “Last time, I was transferred to the traffic police team. They told me to reflect. Originally, they told me it would be a week, but in the end, I went for two months! Wouldn’t this time be half a year?”

“I see. If you aren’t reinstated after a month, I will go to Uncle Chen to ask a favor for you.” Yang Ming comforted her. “I think I should be able to persuade him a little.”

“Really?” Xia Xue’s eyes shone bright. “Thank you, Yang Ming. You are a good person!”

“What?” Yang Ming heard Xia Xue’s words and he was somewhat overwhelmed. “Am I a good person? I wonder who was skeptical, saying that I’m a bad person, and even arrested me several times…”

“Friends are often made after a fight…” Xia Xue said with some embarrassment, “Who let you behave like a punk before?”

“What? When did I act like a punk? Didn’t I explain it clearly to you? How can I be blamed for that…” Yang Ming said innocently.

“Fine. Let’s not talk about the past. Cheers!” Xia Xue raised her beer bottle.

“Cheers…” Yang Ming took a sip with Xia Xue.

“Is it because of smuggling?” Yang Ming remembered what Chen Fei said to him the other day. He had sent Xia Xue to customs to get to know the situation. By his deduction, most probably this case was the reason.

” En ?” Xia Xue suddenly widened her eyes and stared at Yang Ming. She suddenly said harshly, “How do you know? Say it out! Are you part of them?”

“What? Wang Zhitao made me like this. What’s in your brain? Even with the dumbest idea, I can’t be in the same group with them!” Yang Ming said in anger. “No wonder you are suspended. Even your suspect is wrong!”

“That is true…” Xia Xue smiled embarrassedly. Then, she then said seriously, “Do you think this smuggling case is related to the Wang Family?”

Yang Ming was shocked. Yes, the current attitude toward the Wang Family being involved in the smuggling is just a guess. With what I just said, it would make it conclusive! Then, he shook his head and said, “I’m just being skeptical…”

“That wouldn’t be wrong! I think so too. It must be that Wang Xifan is the instigator behind the scenes! In my opinion, I should just capture him. He needs a fine interrogation. Probably everything will be revealed!” Xia Xue said excitedly.

“Do you think Uncle Chen will agree?” Yang Ming rolled his eyes at her. Although Yang Ming didn’t know much about the process of handling the case, the person in the position of Wang Xifan couldn’t be arrested as they wanted. If there was no evidence, the resistance to arresting Wang Xifan’s would be big!

“Yes… Captain Chen couldn’t agree to it.” Xia Xue nodded a little discouraged. “But I decided, I have to investigate it thoroughly during the period of my suspension. I don’t believe that Wang Xifan, the old fox, wouldn’t give himself away!”

“You are so sloppy. Doesn’t it seem to be a bad idea?” Yang Ming thought that Xia Xue had been suspended. It seemed that it’s against the rules to handle the case privately.

“What’s wrong with it?” Xia Xue complained. “I have said that it will be a thorough investigation. Hehe, don’t tell Captain Chen…”

“Forget it. I won’t say it.” Yang Ming couldn’t bear to pour cold water on her. Anyway, Xia Xue could do anything she wanted to do. Now, it seemed that Xia Xue had already inadvertently alerted the enemy. If she went and deterred Wang Xifan, he might give himself away faster. Anyway, he didn’t expect that Xia Xue could solve the case.

“Thank you, Yang Ming.” Xia Xue said with some excitement. “If… If I solve the case this time, then I’ll invite you for a drink!”

“Alright, I will wait for your drink!” Yang Ming nodded with a smile. However, he held no hope in his heart.

Xia Xue was drinking depressed just now, but, she became carefree later on. However, she still drank a little too much.

Yang Ming still carried her back. After throwing her on the floor of her apartment, Yang Ming left.

The next day, Xia Xue began her private investigation. She first came to Wang Xifan’s Head Office in the Wang’s Century Xiongfeng Group.

“I’m looking for President Wang Xifan. Can I trouble you to inform him?” Xia Xue said directly to the receptionist at the reception desk.

“Sorry, madam, do you have an appointment?” asked the reception lady.

“No, I have something to ask President Wang. Can you pass the message to him?” Xia Xue frowned. She thought to herself, Isn’t Wang Xifan quite arrogant? Do I need to make a prior appointment to meet him?

“Sorry, madam. If there is no appointment, I can’t pass the message for you. President Wang is very busy. If you have something, please make an appointment in advance.” The reception lady euphemistically refused.

“I’m a police officer!” Xia Xue took out the police officer’s identification card and flashed it in front of the reception lady. “I’m looking for Wang Xifan for my investigation!”

” Oh… oh … Alright. I will give a call for you right away. Please wait…” The reception lady was shocked and didn’t dare to neglect her. She quickly picked up the phone and called.

“Secretary Huang, I’m Xiao Li at the front desk. This is the case. Police Officer Xia is looking for President Wang to help with an investigation… Yes, yes, I’ll be waiting for your call.” Hanging up the phone, she said to Xia Xue, “Wait a moment. I had informed Secretary Huang to find President Wang.”

Xia Xue nodded and stood in the hall. She was looking at the interior decoration of the Wang Group. The atmosphere was luxurious. It seems that Wang Xifan is oddly rich!
