135 Leng Bingbing lost her temper
he door. A figure immediately leaped into her sight, shocking her so much that she couldn't help but emit a soft cry: "Ah!"Luckily, in the next moment, she realized who it was standing at the doorway—...Moonflower Master in the City 135 Cold Ice Loses Her Temper
"Cold Ice, you... you're using private punishment... ahhh..." Ji Ming had barely finished speaking when he let out another piercing scream; naturally, it was Xia Tian who slapped him again.
Seeing Xia Tian raise his hand once more, Ji Ming hurriedly said, "Don't hit me, I'll tell you. Ma Ting isn't dead, I just had her locked up and haven't gotten around to dealing with her yet."
For the rest of the time, Ji Ming answered every question put to him. As Xia Tian suspected, Ji Ming knew a lot about Ji Nan's affairs. It couldn’t be denied that this Ji Nan was truly not a good person; he wasn't only corrupt but also played around with women. That Li Shan had been his mistress. Yet the reason for Li Shan’s death was due to her accidentally obtaining evidence of Ji Nan's corruption and wanting to expose him. Unfortunately, she was found out by Ji Nan first, which led to her demise.
Now Cold Ice finally understood why that man whom she detested had cooperated with Ji Nan the previous day in deceiving her: he too had committed some shady deeds, and Ji Nan had obtained evidence against him. It seemed both of them now possessed criminal evidence on each other, keeping things relatively balanced and allowing for a peaceful coexistence.
As it was approaching noon when the interrogation finally concluded, Cold Ice recorded all the content but felt somewhat lost about her next steps—after all, this was illegal evidence that couldn't be used directly to arrest someone.
Although Ji Ming had revealed many places where the evidence was stored, these would still need to be searched for and retrieved, something she didn’t have the authority to do.
Shaking her head, she decided not to think too much about it right now. She needed to deal with the immediate situation first—what to do with Ji Ming was indeed a headache.
Thinking of how, as a police officer, she had followed Xia Tian in doing something illegal, Cold Ice felt an indescribable sensation; although Xia Tian was the one who carried out the actions, she herself was also considered a co-conspirator.
"Is there any way to make him sleep here for a day" Cold Ice asked Xia Tian.
"No problem," said Xia Tian. He had ways of making Ji Ming sleep through an entire day; he even got hold of a bottle of white liquor and poured it down Ji Ming’s throat, turning him into a drunkard passed out in Ye Mengyun's office.
“Sis Police Officer, let's go,” Xia Tian said as he clapped his hands to signal the end of work. “Now we should find someone to arrest Ji Nan.”
To find someone—indeed they needed to seek help elsewhere. Looking at Xia Tian, Cold Ice suddenly thought of a suitable person: Qiao Zhen Guo from the Qiao family.
Qiao Zhen Guo was in the middle of having lunch when he received a call from Qiao Xiaoqiao, which surprised him greatly. This niece who had once made him furious by her attitude seemed never to have called him voluntarily; could it be that the sun was rising in the west today
"Xiaoqiao, why did you remember to give your uncle a call" Qiao Zhen Guo’s tone was quite gentle as if Xiaoqiao had never offended him.
"Uncle, could you come over here for a visit" asked Qiao Xiaoqiao in an unusually sweet voice.
"What This time are you going to ask Uncle to do something for you" Qiao Zhen Guo half-jokingly asked, secretly annoyed by the young lady's high-and-mighty attitude—she had actually summoned him, a vice-provincial governor, to her place!
"Uncle, regarding last time’s matter, I also felt that it was rather excessive. So today, I have decided to give you a gift," Qiao Xiaoqiao said softly. "Of course, if Uncle doesn't believe me, then there's no need for him to come."
"How could I not believe" Qiao Zhen Guo immediately responded. "Xiaoqiao rarely gives me gifts; if I don’t accept this one today, I’ll definitely regret it in the future."
Pausing for a moment, Qiao Zhengguo said again, "Little Qiao, wait for me. I'll be right there."
Qiao Zhengguo was very clear that although this niece could sometimes make him so angry he wanted to bang his head against the wall, she wasn't one who exaggerated things. If she said she had a great gift for him, then it really would be a great gift. If he didn't go and take it now, he would regret it later. Therefore, Qiao Zhengguo made up his mind without any hesitation and rushed to Miss Qiao Tower.
However, when Qiao Zhengguo arrived at Qiao Xiaoqiao's reception room, he discovered that apart from Qiao Xiaoqiao, there were also another man and woman here. Of course, the male was Xia Tian; him being here didn't surprise Qiao Zhengguo, but it was unusual to see Leng Bingbing here.
"Governor Qiao," Leng Bingbing took the initiative to greet Qiao Zhengguo.
"Uncle Er, please sit down." Qiao Xiaoqiao invited Qiao Zhengguo to sit down and then handed him a voice recorder, "Uncle Er, listen to what's inside. It’s quite long, so take your time."
Qiao Zhengguo was somewhat puzzled but still took it.
After just listening for ten minutes, Qiao Zhengguo couldn't suppress his excitement. This really was a great gift!
"How did you get this information from Ji Ming" Qiao Zhengguo couldn’t help asking; of course, he was addressing Leng Bingbing because he had already recognized the other person’s voice in the recording as hers.
"He got drunk and said everything." Leng Bingbing answered. This was what she and Xia Tian had agreed to say since Ji Ming really was drunk then.
"Uncle Er, actually how we obtained this isn’t important; it’s the clues inside that count. What do you think" Qiao Xiaoqiao said by the side.
"Absolutely right! With this, once the Party Discipline Inspection Commission investigates, Ji Nan won't be able to run away..." Qiao Zhengguo was very excited but suddenly looked at Leng Bingbing in puzzlement. "You really want to give me this recording You know that if there's an investigation, not only will Ji Nan not escape, even He Yunsan…"
"Governor Qiao, I'm giving you this so both of them can receive the punishment they deserve!" Leng Bingbing interrupted Qiao Zhengguo; hearing that name made her lose control.
"Alright then. I'll arrange for it. These maggots eating away at our country won't escape!" Qiao Zhengguo stood up. "Little Qiao, things are urgent now. Uncle Er has to go."
Qiao Zhengguo hurriedly left and began orchestrating a major earthquake in the Pinghai province’s political scene. And in the foreseeable future, after this earthquake ended, he would be the biggest beneficiary; Ji Nan's position would belong to him without doubt.
Qiao Zhengguo moved swiftly. That night itself, the Party Discipline Inspection Commission took immediate action and placed both Executive Deputy Governor Ji Nan and another deputy governor He Yunsan under detention for investigation while simultaneously launching a large-scale raid operation. The police also acted that evening, arresting a batch of people including Ji Ming.
Everyone believed this was something Qiao Zhengguo had planned for long but didn't know it was actually the unknown young man who brought Ji Nan and He Yunsan to prison—Summer, who had only been in Jianghai City for around ten days.
Of course, Summer himself did not care about such credit. Actually, since Ji Nan wanted him locked up, as a form of equal retaliation, he also decided to lock Ji Nan up. As for political matters, they were none of his business; he didn't concern himself with them.
The one Summer was most concerned about now was Leng Bingbing. She felt very bad because she had indirectly sent her biological father, that man known as He Yunsan, to prison. Although she always thought this person did not deserve to be called her father, the blood relationship between them could not change.
It was around 7 PM now, and the location was Leng Bingbing's home. Summer was here because Leng Bingbing had promised to accompany him for dinner, but unfortunately there was no food; she didn’t seem to have any intention of cooking either, just staring blankly at a photograph.
The person in the photo looked to be in their thirties and bore a resemblance to Cold Bingbing.
"Miss Policewoman, if you're feeling down, why don't you have some drinks When you get drunk and fall asleep, everything will just go away!" Xia Tian couldn’t help but urge her from the side. This was a golden opportunity; he could take advantage of Miss Policewoman’s bad mood to intoxicate her halfway, then coax her while she was half-drunk and half-conscious. Perhaps she would agree to become his wife.
Upon hearing him say this, Cold Bingbing finally had a reaction. She looked up at Xia Tian with an unusually cold gaze and said in a mocking tone, "So when I get drunk, you’ll be able to have my body, is that it"
Xia Tian was taken aback. "Miss Policewoman, you’ve misunderstood me. I…"
"Misunderstood !" Cold Bingbing interrupted him and suddenly yelled at him in a fierce voice, “That bastard He Yunsan took advantage of my mother when she got drunk!”
“Uh… Miss Policewoman, I didn’t know your father was so shameless…” Xia Tian felt a bit embarrassed. It seemed that Miss Policewoman’s anger this time was even greater than in previous occasions.
"He is not my father!" Cold Bingbing screamed hoarsely, "My mother became pregnant with his child, but he denied it and ignored her. Do you know how much suffering she went through When I turned ten, that bastard suddenly appeared and was nice to me. My mother was very happy at the time. But later on, she found out that his wife had not given birth to any children for him, so I became his only daughter and he started being good to me!"
"Miss Policewoman, if you were pregnant with my child, I would definitely take responsibility," Xia Tian said cautiously.
"Shut up!" Cold Bingbing roared at him, "You already have Xiao Qiao, but you still run around and get involved with other women. You are even more despicable than that bastard He Yunsan. Let me tell you, don’t think I’ll ever like you; I won't become a concubine for someone the way my mother did!"
Cold Bingbing continued to curse Xia Tian after her initial outburst, berating him, "Who do you think you are You already have Xiao Qiao, and yet you still want Ye Mengying to be your wife. And then there’s Sun Xinxin and Liu Yunman, who糾纏不清你。你以為你是古代的皇帝，要三宮六院嗎？告訴你，我最討厭的就是像你這樣的人，仗著有點本事到處騙女人。”孫馨馨柳雲曼跟你不清不楚，居然還整天來纏我，你當你是古代的皇帝要來個三宮六院啊？我告訴你，我最討厭的就是你這種人，仗著有點本事到處騙女人……”
For the next four or five minutes, Cold Bingbing vented her frustration on Xia Tian without stopping. He was left speechless and didn’t know how to respond. However, he felt a bit aggrieved inside. His three masters had all said that men can have many wives. Fairy Sister hadn't objected either and even helped him find Xiao Qiao as his concubine. Why did Miss Policewoman make it sound like he was utterly despicable
Chapter 136: A Disheartened Xia Tian
This night was a night of suffering for many people, such as Ji Nan and He Yunsan, as well as Ji Ming and others who were connected to them. On the foundation of their misfortunes, this night became one of luck for some people, like Qiao Zengguo.
For Cold Bingbing, it was a night of venting her frustrations. She let out all the resentment she had accumulated over the years towards He Yunsan and his philandering ways onto Xia Tian. At first, she berated him, but later on, Xia Tian felt increasingly innocent as some of the things she cursed about had nothing to do with him.
Cold Bingbing let out all her frustrations, and in the end, she even kicked Xia Tian out. And so, it became a disheartening night for Xia Tian.
To have a romantic dinner with Miss Policewoman who was feeling down and turn the opportunity into his favor by making her his wife, Xia Tian had even declined Ye Mengying’s dinner invitation. But he never would have thought that not only did he fail to eat at the restaurant, but also couldn’t make Miss Policewoman become his wife. In the end, he wandered the streets disheartened.
However, what made Xia Tian disheartened didn’t stop there. After leaving Jingyuan Community and walking on the street for a while, he spotted an Italian restaurant and remembered that he hadn’t eaten yet. So he planned to go in and satisfy his hunger first. However, he was stopped.
"Sorry sir, you can't enter," the pretty lady at the entrance of the Italian restaurant intercepted him.
“Why not” Xia Tian couldn’t understand.
"Sir, according to our rules, those who are not properly dressed cannot enter," the beauty explained.
Summer looked down and was even more puzzled; he felt that his attire was quite neat.
"Where exactly am I improperly dressed" Summer asked with dissatisfaction as he looked at the woman.
"Sir, in order to enter our Western restaurant, you must wear a suit. Casual clothes or sports shoes are not allowed," the beauty continued her explanation.
Summer glared at the woman, wanting nothing more than to hit her; why did she say he was improperly dressed when all that needed was for him to wear a suit
"But last time I went to a Western restaurant like this, they let me in. Why can't I go in now" Summer asked with dissatisfaction.
"Sir, our restaurant is of high-end quality and different from regular Western restaurants," the beauty patiently explained further.
Summer looked at her without much regard; he didn’t see anything particularly high-end about this woman!
"If you wish to eat, there's a Chinese restaurant just ahead that has good food and is very affordable," the beauty kindly reminded him again.
"When I have money, I'll buy this place right up! Only those who don't wear suits can enter; only people dressed like me can come in!" Summer said indignantly before turning around to leave. What a lousy restaurant it was, he wasn’t going to eat there!
From behind came a mocking voice: "Some country bumpkin here with such a big mouth too!" It was a man's voice.
"Yeah, if he were able to buy this Western restaurant, I'd at least need to be a billionaire," another woman chimed in with a light laugh after him.
The voices of the man and woman weren't loud, but Summer's hearing was extremely sharp, so he heard everything clearly.
Summer, already feeling rather down, felt even more irritated upon hearing their insults. He suddenly turned around to face the couple who had just come out of the restaurant: "Who are you calling a bumpkin You two are the real ones!"
Summer pointed at the young woman in her evening gown: "Look at your face, aren't you just a bun A meat bun!"
After insulting the woman, Summer turned to point at the man dressed formally: "Don’t think that wearing a suit makes you so great; you’re also a bun. A grass one!"
"You… You actually said I’m a bun face" The young woman was so angry she could hardly speak properly, “Are you blind This is clearly an oval face!”
"You are the one who’s blind! Is this really an oval face" Summer looked at her with contempt, "Calling you a bun face would be a compliment; you’re almost a pumpkin face."
"You… You're just talking nonsense!" The young woman usually considered herself very beautiful. Now being called a pumpkin face made her so angry she nearly choked.
"Kid, I'm telling you, what kind of skill is it to bully a woman" The man in the suit shouted angrily from the side.
Hearing this, Xia Tian immediately changed his target and looked at the man: "That's why I call you a fool! When a woman is being bullied and you just stand there like an idiot without saying anything, if it were me, I would have beaten someone up long ago!"
Xia Tian pointed to his own nose: "Hey, come hit me. If you don't dare to hit me, then you are a fool!"
"Fine, so you think you deserve a beating Then let me fulfill your wish!" The man in the suit was enraged and threw a punch at Xia Tian. Being talked about like this in front of everyone, even if he really was a fool, he had to act.
Unfortunately, it seemed that this man in the suit wasn't good at fighting; his punch looked weak without any force behind it. Of course, even if he were skilled, Xia Tian would still be superior.
Xia Tian raised his hand and caught the man's fist, giving a slight push. The man fell backward heavily to the ground.
"Your fighting skills are terrible, so you're still a fool!" Xia Tian said disdainfully.
"You! How did you hit him" The young woman rushed over to help the man in the suit and angrily asked.
"I didn't hit anyone; I only hit a fool," Xia Tian said with his lips curled, "No fun. I'm leaving now. If you talk behind my back again, I'll seal your mouths."
Xia Tian turned around to leave. Bullying a fool was meaningless for him; it would be better to find somewhere else to eat.
The beauty outside the Western restaurant wasn't high-end, but she didn't lie to Xia Tian; there really was a Chinese restaurant ahead named Grandma's Home Cooking.
This restaurant was doing well. Although its area was quite large, it was almost fully occupied. After scanning through, Xia Tian saw an empty spot and decided to sit down without further ado.
However, another disappointing thing happened again for Xia Tian.
"Sir, sorry, can you change your seat" The female server walked over.
"Why should I change" Xia Tian was unhappy. He just wanted to eat a meal; why did everyone have it out for him
"Sir, the thing is this table is large and you're alone so you don't need such a big table," the female server explained, "Over there are six guests who will fit perfectly at this table."
"Then do you have smaller tables" Xia Tian was unhappy. He had just seen clearly that it was the only empty table.
"Sir, you can wait a bit; two guests over there are almost done with their meal," the female server said apologetically.
"I came first; why should I have to wait" Xia Tian was unhappy and frustrated. Who did he offend tonight He just wanted to eat a meal but ended up being scolded by Police Miss, then blocked from entering the Western restaurant by a low-end beauty, and now someone called him a bumpkin; when he arrived here, he thought that finally he could eat something, yet they wouldn't even let him sit down!
"Sir, please be considerate," the waiter said helplessly. After all, this person arrived first, and although he was alone, there wasn’t a rule saying that only groups could dine here.
"You're not my wife, why should I care" Xia Tian grumbled, "Hurry up and serve me my food, I'm hungry!"
His words made the female waiter's pretty face turn red, her eyes brimming with tears; she was at a loss what to do.
"Hey, are you lacking in public morals" A voice came from nearby. "You’re occupying such a large table alone— isn’t that disrespectful"
The speaker was a girl around twenty years old, not bad-looking and well-dressed; beside her were two similarly-aged girls, with three boys behind them.
"None of your business," Xia Tian snapped. "The tables aren't yours."
"How can you be so unreasonable" The girl was indignant, "Do you really need such a large table by yourself You’re wasting the restaurant’s resources, do you understand that"
"Is this your restaurant then If they are not bothered, why should you care" Xia Tian's mood had turned sour and his tone reflected it.
"You— this is just being unreasonable!" The girl was furious. She pulled the two girls towards the table: "This isn’t our table nor yours, we can sit there too!"
She sat down with her friends first, then said to the three boys behind them: "Liang Yi, come over and share a table with him."
"Are you trying to provoke me" Xia Tian was quite annoyed. This girl deserved a beating.
"So what if I am What do you plan to do about it" the girl angrily said, "Do you want to hit someone"
"If you’re looking for trouble, we’ll happily take you on!" The three boys finally spoke up and stood together, showing their readiness.
"Sir, sir, there are empty seats over there!" Seeing the conflict about to erupt, the waiter hurried over. "Sorry, would it be possible for you to move"
"Sure thing," Xia Tian suddenly smiled brilliantly, "I wouldn’t want to fight with you and lose my dignity."
He pushed back his chair and stood up, leaving in cooperation with the waiter who led him to a two-person table. He randomly ordered two dishes and waited for the food.
The girl was quite pleased at having driven Xia Tian away; she called over the waiter and quickly ordered seven or eight dishes, finishing with: "Quickly now!"
Although the restaurant was crowded, there were obviously plenty of cooks. The serving speed was still fairly quick. Soon enough, two dishes were served to Xia Tian’s table while a few more had been delivered to the girl's group; someone even brought over soup and was about to place it on their table.
"Splat..." As soon as the bowl of soup touched the table, it collapsed, sending the soup splashing everywhere.n felt really exhausted."Oh, sure." Summer nodded and continued her great mission of chatting.One hour later.After watching an episode of a drama series, Sun Xinxin walked into the bedroom to see that...
