Chapter 50: Framed
Ye Qian looked at Wang Yu in surprise and asked, “Yatou, why do you hate me so much? Why are you always giving me trouble?”
“I’m only doing my job. Right now somebody has accused you of murder. It would be best for you to come with us.” said Wang Yu, still expressionless.
“When did I kill someone? Don’t slander me.” replied Ye Qian.
“Last night, very early at one in the morning, a Chinese man named Zhao Xie was murdered. We have witnesses that identified you as the assassin.” Wang Yu replied.
When Ye Qian heard Wang Yu say this, he couldn’t help but smile. If what Wang Yu said was true, then somebody was framing him for sure. Ye Qian couldn’t imagine who it could possibly be, but the opponent was severely underestimating him. They dared to use such a lousy plan to make a move. He hadn’t killed anybody, so this would be an easy matter to clear up.
“Zhao Xie?” Ye Qian mumbled aloud, thinking that it must be the boyfriend of Lin Rou Rou’s old classmate. If he remembered correctly, he had received a kick by Ye Qian at the Bewitched Bar. “Why would I kill him?” Ye Qian said helplessly.
“Only you would know the answer to that.” Wang Yu replied. “Where were you during the early hours of the morning yesterday?”
“I was sleeping at home, of course.” Ye Qian replied.
“Do you have witnesses to vouch for you?” Wang Yu asked.
Ye Qian thought about it. At that time he was with Zhao Tian Hao but right now somebody was obviously framing him. In order to attempt to bring the person framing him to light, after a pause Ye Qian replied, “None. I was alone.” When he said this, he looked at Wang Yu with an ambiguous expression, as if to say, “So I was alone, do you have the desire to see for yourself?”
When she saw Ye Qian’s vulgar expression, she recalled what this guy did to her back at the police station, but her anger did not come out. She didn’t know why, but for the past few days, after that incident, the shadow of the scoundrel was always lingering in her mind, impossible to get rid of. Today, she had just gotten back to the office, when the Bureau Chief commanded her to find Ye Qian and arrest him as quickly as possible. There was even a special command, if Ye Qian were to resist, she was allowed to shoot him dead. At the time Wang Yu was extremely shocked, she was worried for Ye Qian’s sake; however, she had already been working in the police department for a while, and she understood the Bureau Chief’s character. This time he was being very strict, so it must be that he received orders from someone above him.
While they were on their way, Wang Yu had been thinking about how to save Ye Qian, but once she saw this scoundrel she did not know what to say. Not only was this scoundrel not grateful, he was also making things difficult for her, so it really made her feel wronged. However, she couldn’t let herself say, “Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you.” These words were too embarrassing, so she couldn’t bring herself to say it.
Wang Yu had her own reasons not to use violence, but Yang Wei did not. Even though Ye Qian was the older brother of the Public Security Chief, this time the orders personally came from the Head of the Municipal Committee. Even Chief Ou could only obey the order, Yang Wei would not let this opportunity go to waste. Moreover, the Bureau Chief authorized them to kill if necessary. If Ye Qian were to resist arrest, they could shoot. Even though the Bureau Chief did not say it clearly, Yan Wei still understood that this was giving them a pretext to kill Ye Qian. Even the fact that Chief Ou was his brother would be of no help to him. Perhaps other people didn’t know who was framing Ye Qian, but Yang Wei knew very well. The background of this person was much bigger than Ye Qian’s. He only had to handle this matter satisfactorily, and his promotion was just around the corner.
With this in mind, Yang Wei did not hesitate and walked forward, glaring at Ye Qian and roaring, “Fuck all this nonsense. Come with me!” He said as he grabbed Ye Qian.
Ye Qian did not move, and he only remained standing with a cold look on his face. Yang Wei clutched Ye Qian’s collar, unexpectedly unable to pull him. He turned to face Ye Qian and saw his cold expression, as if he was unsheathing his killing aura. His heart couldn’t help but tremble. “Let go!” Ye Qian said coldly.
Even though Yang Wei was not lacking in confidence, he still had a gun so he could naturally act tougher. He wasn’t worried that Ye Qian would make trouble, he was instead worried that Ye Qian wouldn’t make trouble. Ye Qian only had to resist arrest, and he would immediately have a reason to shoot. However, he still resentfully let go. “The suspect still dares to be this aggressive. Are you trying to resist arrest?” Yang Wei said.
“I want to know: are you asking me to assist in the investigation or are you trying to make me resist arrest? If it’s assisting the investigation, then I’m sorry. I’m eating right now so I don’t have time. You want to arrest me?, then bring out the arrest warrant, or else screw off.” Ye Qian said.
“Haha, do you think this is a Hong Kong cops and robbers movie? Arrest warrant? You’re a suspect. We have the authority to arrest you for questioning.” Yang Wei said with a smile.
Ye Qian smiled coldly and said, “Indeed it’s not a cops and robbers movie, but a movie about a hero.” As Ye Qian said these words, his leg kicked up high. It was fast and fierce, instantly sending Yang Wei flying into the air. The other officers that accompanied Wang Yu were completely surprised, quickly pulling out their guns and pointing at Ye Qian. If Ye Qian made another move, they would surely not hesitate to pull the trigger.
Wang Yu also did not expect Ye Qian to resist arrest so violently. She couldn’t help but secretly feel her sweat run down for Ye Qian’s sake. She turned to face her fellow officers and said, “Put your guns away!”
Ye Qian smiled indifferently, completely not putting any importance to what had just happened, and said, “Yeah, put away those toys.” These type of stupid guns, in Ye Qian’s eyes, were really only a child’s plaything.
When she saw that Ye Qian was going against her, she became really angry, rebuking him in her head, “Damned rogue, stinky rogue!”
Yang Wei fought through the pain as he staggered up. His whole person exuded the rage of an angry rooster. He pulled out his gun and rushed toward Ye Qian. “Yang Wei, stop!” Wang Yu shouted tensely. However, Yang Wei in his current state would not listen to her. This xiaozi had humiliated him in front of so many people. If he did not avenge himself, how could he show his face in the police department? Besides, it was also the Chief’s order, so it was an excellent opportunity. Yang Wei felt that right now, Ye Qian’s life was in his grasp and he could take it whenever he wanted.
“If you to touch him, I’ll have your body on the streets, and you won’t live to see the light of day.” Everyone turned to the direction of the icy voice.
