Gorgeous Female Tenants

Watching Hu Qingyu’s face grow increasingly unpleasant, as if suppressing anger, yet also like a volcano ready to erupt at any moment. Xu Xiangbei knew he couldn’t push any further and let go of her hand.

Hu Qingyu hurriedly pulled her hand back and cursed him a hooligan, glaring fiercely at Xu Xiangbei.

"As the ancients said, food and lust are natural instincts. This is simply my honest expression," Xu Xiangbei said righteously.

"Nothing decent comes out of a dog’s mouth, all you talk about is lust. You’re just a pervert, a hooligan," Hu Qingyu couldn’t hold back any longer.

"Please don’t tarnish my reputation, oh beautiful lady. When have I been a hooligan? When have I been a pervert? To insult my reputation like this, you should pay for emotional damage. But because you are beautiful, I won’t hold it against you," Xu Xiangbei said with a faint smile, rendering Hu Qingyu speechless in just a few words.

"When the water is too clear, there are no fish; when a person is shameless, they are invincible. Since the moment you came in, your eyes haven’t left my body. If that’s not hooligan behavior, what is?" Hu Qingyu laughed angrily, having never seen someone so shameless.

"You women dress up like this just to be seen by others, right? Sometimes I really don’t get you. If men look at you twice, you call them perverts. If they don’t look at you, you get angry and say we’re hypocrites. No matter what, it’s always our fault. Really, there’s no justice!"

"What kind of twisted logic is that? Only someone as foul as you would think that way," Hu Qingyu was at a loss for words, her originally fair face turning a bit red with anger.

"Miss Hu, don’t mind him. He’s always like this, but he’s very kind-hearted," Ding Keke laughed seeing them bicker. Almost every woman initially sees Xu Xiangbei as a hooligan, but upon deeper interaction, they find him attractive. Wasn’t she like that too? Ding Keke thought to herself.

"Miss, what is your relationship with him?" Hu Qingyu was still very curious, wondering what the connection was between the beautiful Ding Keke and Xu Xiangbei.

"We’re friends," Ding Keke just finished speaking.

"One of my future wives," Xu Xiangbei added from the side, causing Ding Keke’s face to blush.

Seeing Ding Keke’s expression, Hu Qingyu knew Ding Keke had fallen for Xu Xiangbei.

Really can’t understand why someone would like such a hooligan, especially a woman so beautiful; perhaps it’s because he’s wealthy?

"Miss, I think this guy isn’t reliable. You should break off with him sooner rather than later," Hu Qingyu kindly advised, afraid Ding Keke might go astray.

"Miss Hu, you’ll have to try yourself to know if I’m reliable. Just don’t defame me in front of my future wife; that’s unethical," Xu Xiangbei joked, not at all bothered by what was said.

Hu Qingyu took the menu she ordered and left, not wanting to say another word to Xu Xiangbei. Watching her gradually retreating figure, Xu Xiangbei maintained a faint smile...

Soon after, Xu Xiangbei’s phone rang.

"Hello, are you Xu Xiangbei? I’m Yang Hai, the squad leader of Jiangcheng Criminal Police Unit," the voice was full of energy.

"Oh, it’s Brother Yang. I’m Xu Xiangbei," Xu Xiangbei thought his fourth brother acted quickly.

"It’s hard to explain everything over the phone, so let’s meet and talk in person, shall we?"

"I was thinking the same thing. When do you have time? I’m at Xinyi Restaurant near the First People’s Hospital, come find me, and we can talk in person. Is that convenient?"

"Okay, I’ll pack up and come right away."

At that moment, Xu Xiangbei hung up the phone and began eating with Ding Keke, while on the other end, Yang Hai in his office at the Criminal Police Unit just finished his call when a sweet voice echoed.

"Captain, what are you up to?" asked a tall female police officer, 1.7 meters, wearing a blue police uniform with a charming figure, lovely face, and a small beauty mole next to her cheek.

"Qin Xue, were you eavesdropping?" Despite her being a beauty, Yang Hai didn’t seem to be impressed, yet dared not do anything about it.

"I accidentally overheard it, not on purpose," the female officer said earnestly.

"Oh, nothing special, just going out for a case," Yang Hai didn’t pursue further, grabbing his bag and heading out.

"What case is it? Can I come with you?" Qin Xue followed, appearing determined not to give up.

"It seems to be a murder case, as for you..." Yang Hai looked at Qin Xue’s eager eyes and considered her identity, the refusal he wanted to say stuck in his throat and got swallowed.

"Of course, you can come with me."

The two drove to Xinyi Restaurant and found Xu Xiangbei and Ding Keke.

It started with some self-introductions, but all along, Xu Xiangbei’s eyes never left Qin Xue’s body. The blue police uniform didn’t hide her beautiful figure, instead, it showcased a heroic and spirited vibe, highlighting the concise and capable nature of a detective.

"Oh, I forgot to ask, have Officer Yang and Miss Qin Xue eaten?" Xu Xiangbei asked while glancing at Qin Xue.

"We’ve eaten," Qin Xue didn’t say much, her eyes held a slight dislike towards Xu Xiangbei, especially after their handshake during introductions when Xu Xiangbei took advantage of her hand for quite a while. His gaze made her first impression of him quite poor, despite Xu Xiangbei being somewhat handsome.

"Oh, I’ll finish paying the bill right away and find somewhere else to talk. It’s not really appropriate to discuss this here."

"Waiter, check please," Xu Xiangbei called out.

"The total is 14,300 yuan, sir. Will you be paying with cash or card?" Hu Qingyu asked blandly.

"Card," Xu Xiangbei handed over a card and slyly made a pass at Hu Qingyu while taking it back.

"Oh, here’s my business card, Miss Hu. Feel free to stay in touch. If you have anything to say, just tell me. If you need help with any difficulties, you can always count on me!" Xu Xiangbei said, and handed over one of his private business cards.

Xu Xiangbei held the card in midair, but Hu Qingyu didn’t take it for a long while.

Xu Xiangbei felt a bit awkward, but he wasn’t going to be fazed by this. He stood up and slipped the card into the breast pocket of Hu Qingyu’s uniform, accidentally touching something soft.

Hu Qingyu was utterly speechless, with her cheeks slightly flushed, and cursed him as a scoundrel.

But Xu Xiangbei and his group had already walked out the restaurant’s front door.

"What a rogue. People don’t want your card, yet you insist on shoving it into their hands," Qin Xue seemed a bit fed up and pointed at Xu Xiangbei.

"Hehe, if men aren’t bad, women won’t love them. Besides, the more friends you have, the more paths you have. I’m giving her a convenient option so she can walk a wider path in the future, you know? Beautiful Officer Qin, don’t judge honest intentions with malicious suspicions!" Xu Xiangbei said earnestly, as if he had truly done something good, his tone full of righteous conviction.

"You’re a righteous person? Just a thug. Be careful not to commit a crime and fall into my hands someday, or I’ll make you confess and take full responsibility, and rot behind bars."

"Alright, let’s get down to business quickly," Yang Hai stepped in to smooth things over.

The group arrived at the hospital, in a small, enclosed room in the nurse station, to discuss the matters concerning Director Wang and Lu Qing.

Listening to the discordant sounds in the audio recording, Qin Xue’s face turned entirely red.

"This Director Wang is truly a beast in human clothing, and Lu Qing is simply a wanton woman." Qin Xue looked furious, as if she wanted to arrest them right away.

"Right, let’s just detain them right away and throw them in jail," Ding Keke chimed in.

"It’s not that simple," Yang Hai added.

"Isn’t this recording considered evidence? Can’t we just nail them directly?" Xu Xiangbei was a bit puzzled.

"You really are ignorant of the law. This recording can’t be considered evidence," Qing Xue mocked him from the side, as if finally finding a chance to take a jab at Xu Xiangbei, a victorious smile on her face.

"Why can’t it be considered evidence?"

"For a recording to be used as evidence, there must be two conditions," Qin Xue extended her fair hand, making a gesture of two fingers.

"What are the two conditions?"

"Firstly, the recording must be kept intact, without any artificial editing or processing. Ideally, it should be the original tape, and even copies must be lossless."

"My recording is very complete."

"I haven’t finished saying the second condition yet."

"Secondly, when obtaining the recording, you must not infringe on others’ rights. This recording clearly sounds like it was secretly filmed, infringing on others’ privacy. In court, they can sue you, you know? Rogue."

"So this recording is practically useless?"

"It’s not completely useless. At the very least, we’re familiar with his scheme. During interrogation, we can use this angle for psychological tactics and get them to confess voluntarily."

"So should we detain them directly now?" Xu Xiangbei was half-knowing in legal matters.

"Direct arrest isn’t possible, but we can detain them under this pretext, though the detention time must not exceed 72 hours."

"I’ll make a call right away and have them detained under the charge of attempted murder," Yang Hai, with his rich experience as the team leader, made the decisive call.

"Then the primary task is to find out what drug Director Wang administered to Qian Wantong and get him out as soon as possible to prevent a true fatality." Qin Xue, still very astute, immediately identified the current task at hand.

"I’ll make a call right away to bring doctors with rich experience from our detective team over, and cooperate with doctors from the First People’s Hospital to identify the drug, then provide treatment for Elder Qian Wantong," Yang Hai immediately proposed a plan.

Xu Xiangbei practically didn’t need to do anything. The detective team was highly experienced in these matters, and he didn’t want to exert himself. If it could be cured, he’d be relieved and carefree, even enjoying the view of beauties. In his eyes, Qin Xue was like a fiery pepper.
