Return to the City: The Strongest King

"Fine, if you're not going to talk, don't blame me for being rude." Qiao Yutong got angry.

"Officer, please don't intimidate me, I'm just a law-abiding citizen with a small heart, if you scare me, I'll get frightened." Song Xiaodong stared coldly at Qiao Yutong, speaking with a sarcastic tone.

"Let me tell you, if you're really involved with the underworld, I definitely won't spare you." Qiao Yutong turned her head away from Song Xiaodong.

"Oh please, officer, there's no such thing as the underworld nowadays, we're all business people. We do deal with some of them to protect ourselves, but that's only paying for protection—there's always some minor conflict every day with so many industries. Can I trouble you every day with that?" Song Xiaodong raised his eyebrows, glanced sideways, leaned back, and looked at Qiao Yutong.

"Alright, you, Mr. Song, really have connections, getting the provincial director to pressure me, huh?" Qiao Yutong asked again.

"Officer, I don't know the provincial director. If I did, I would have been out already, back home with my kids." Song Xiaodong thought about it and felt a little angry.

"That Sister Zhou is the biggest boss Hei in Minghe. Your relationship is so close, you must be involved with the underworld too!" Qiao Yutong sounded more like she was accusing rather than interrogating.

"Officer, you've wronged me, I only met this Sister Zhou before, there's no business relationship, being caught by you this time is just a coincidence." Song Xiaodong showed an innocent face and shrugged.

"I know Mr. Song is a big shot in Minghe, but if you have any illegal activities, I absolutely won't let you off!" Qiao Yutong straightened up angrily.

"Officer, do you really think you can do anything to me?" Song Xiaodong was really angry this time.

Song Xiaodong still couldn't resist a beautiful woman, but patience has limits; he detested being threatened.

"What, gathering people to riot and brawl, that's disrupting public order, I'm going to arrest you!" Qiao Yutong was also aggressive.

"Officer, you've already sentenced me, no need for further interrogation, it's late, I need to sleep." As soon as Song Xiaodong finished speaking, he closed his eyes and didn't move.

Lately, whenever Song Xiaodong had free time, he started practicing martial power, increasing his power; now he could, like Wang Xinyi, enter a visualization state as soon as he closed his eyes.

Meditating with his eyes closed greatly helped Song Xiaodong's mental clarity; now he felt his mind was clear, his thoughts agile, and he could think through things more clearly.

Simply put, Song Xiaodong became smarter.

"Hmph, you don't need to do that, I will definitely uncover the truth!" Qiao Yutong picked up the files and walked out the door.

Qiao Yutong began interrogating others, her voice hoarse and her face pale.

Finally, he got a breakthrough from Qin Huai, who feared ruining his future and just wanted to get out of the station quickly, spilling everything he knew.

"I met Song Xiaodong before, on the flight to Minghe, I ran into two beauties, chatted with them, and Song Xiaodong said those two beauties were his wives."

"Disgusting!" Qiao Yutong couldn't help but curse when she heard Qin Huai mention Song Xiaodong had two wives.

Qin Huai could tell Qiao Yutong really detested Song Xiaodong.

"And then?" Qiao Yutong continued to ask.

"Then later at the audition for Director Zhang's new movie, we met again. At night, Zhu Wenhua arranged a venue for Director Zhang Gangyi to audition lead and supporting actresses, and we ran into Song Xiaodong again." Qin Huai sold out Zhu Wenhua.

"Wait! Audition at night?" Qiao Yutong raised an eyebrow.

"Officer, do I even need to explain? Of course Director Zhang Gangyi wanted to engage in casting couch practices! To be the lead actress, you have to pay a price!" Qin Huai said.

"Disgusting!" Qiao Yutong gritted her teeth.

"Officer, that Director Zhang made quite a few movies, each one a hit; as long as an actress can be in Director Zhang's films, they'd do anything because you never know, trading a night of passion for a lifetime of wealth, seems worthwhile!" Qin Huai said.

"Oh..." Qiao Yutong sighed, said nothing.

"Officer, I have nothing to do with these things, it's all arranged by Zhu Wenhua, I'm just the male lead who accompanies them drinking." Qin Huai began to distance himself.

"Are you saying Director Zhang Gangyi's desires to trade bodies with actresses were always arranged by Zhu Wenhua?" Qiao Yutong's head felt dizzy, rubbing her temples as she asked.

"Yes, Zhu Wenhua has a membership at a high-end private club, very private location, every time Director Zhang auditions actresses it's there at midnight."

"Midnight auditions." Qiao Yutong muttered that phrase inwardly, a trace of a cold smile on her lips.

"And why was Song Xiaodong there?" Once Qiao Yutong brought up Song Xiaodong again, her eyes turned stern.

"Officer, Zhu Wenhua arranged the place, but the actresses are all from their company, Song Xiaodong might have gotten the news and followed along." Qin Huai answered.

"Ah right, Song Xiaodong might have other secrets dealings with that club, when he arrived, he kicked us both out." Qin Huai recalled the day's events and felt slighted again.

"I'll look into that later. You continue." Qiao Yutong buried her head in the desk, making notes.

"Then at the new movie's screen test, I ate garlic and performed a kissing scene with the leading actress." Qin Huai said with an expression very relaxed, as if he was used to such things.

"How could you be so..." Hearing this, Qiao Yutong felt disgusted again, pointed a finger at Qin Huai, her words cut short.
