Chapter 98: Let Me Show You How to Seduce

Nan Ye City Investigation and Suppression Division.

“I’ll ask you one more time: Did Chen Hao order you to make contact with Zheng Yangliang and those cult fighters?”

The officer from the Investigation and Suppression Division glared angrily at the middle-aged man.

That man was Liu Ying!

Two days ago, he had been detained by Yang Wei and his team. At the same time, Chen Hao was held in another interrogation room.

What troubled the entire division was that Liu Ying stubbornly refused to admit any dealings with the cult fighters or any connection to Chen Hao.

After all, the division could only detain Chen Hao for a maximum of 72 hours.

If there was no evidence by then, once Chen Hao was released, he would surely manage to cover up the unusual flow of funds in his hands.

Because of this, the division’s task force subjected Liu Ying to relentless rounds of interrogation, but progress remained frustratingly slow.

…

Inside the observation room.

“Damn it—”

“I say we should just execute this scoundrel on the spot!”

Looking at Liu Ying’s image on the screen, the young man burst out in furious curses.

All of them were in their twenties and harbored a deep hatred for cultists, so Yang Wei did not stop his subordinates’ outbursts.

Once everyone in the observation room calmed down, Yang Wei spoke in a low voice, “Done venting?”

“Let’s be honest about what’s on our minds. Coach Ma gave the orders personally. If we don’t take down Chen Million and Bright Investment, we’re all going to get chewed out!”

Yang Wei scolded them sharply, but no one could come up with any useful ideas.

Finally, Yang Wei turned to an officer nearby and asked, “How’s the interrogation on Chen Hao? Is he still claiming ignorance about Liu Ying’s actions?”

“Yes,” the officer replied angrily, grinding his teeth, “Those two must have planned this together long ago. One refuses to admit anything, and the other blocks all accusations.”

After hearing the report, Yang Wei’s expression grew grave.

“Chen Million isn’t playing fair either. We’ve caught his son, and now he’s wrangling with the higher-ups.”

“Hurry up and push Zhuang Ning’s squad. I want those two rats dug out as soon as possible.”

“Yes, sir.”

…

The Investigation and Suppression Division was bustling with activity.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ze welcomed two of his trusted men.

But Zhang Ze hadn’t expected that simply calling on his two favorites would bring along two young women.

“I called those two here to work for me. What are you two girls doing tagging along?”

Seeing the cold and aloof pair, he couldn’t help but feel helpless.

“Tch~”

“You think I wanted to come?”

“If it weren’t for Bingbing saying she’d help, I wouldn’t bother with you.”

Zhang Qingping caught Zhang Ze’s impatience immediately and shot back.

“Sigh~”

“No offense. I just hadn’t arranged a place to stay beforehand, so just now…”

Not wanting to be entangled with the two women any longer, Zhang Ze quickly tried to excuse himself.

…

A little later.

Zhang Ze pulled Peng Fei aside.

“Can we get on with it?”

“You’re here to work, not to bring your whole family along.”

Seeing the two whispering furtively, Qian Qian suddenly appeared beside them.

Rarely defending Peng Fei, he said, “Ze, I’ve got to say this.”

“It’s not my brother Peng Fei who’s dragging his family around. You should have seen how eager Bingbing was when she heard you needed help.”

Zhang Ze’s face darkened.

Beside him, Cai Hu was surprised, thinking, “So there’s one more of these?”

…

“Spit it out.”

“What do you want from us?”

Peng Fei didn’t try to deny anything—after all, the strong often face misunderstanding.

Zhang Ze sighed, whispering, “Of course it’s something important. Otherwise, why would I call you here to give me a back rub?”

Qian Qian’s eyes widened as he quickly protested, “Ze, I’m pretty thorough when it comes to back rubs…”

“Get lost!” Zhang Ze muttered softly and continued, “I want to make some quick money. For that, I need my brother Peng Fei to sacrifice some charm.”

“Hell yeah!”

“Ze, I can do that too!”

Qian Qian was surprisingly enthusiastic.

…

At noon that day.

Zhang Ze led Peng Fei and Qian Qian up to the sixth floor of the hospital.

“That girl over there?”

Peng Fei pointed at a graceful figure not far away.

Glancing briefly, Zhang Ze said gravely, “I’ve checked her out over the past two days. Her name is Xia Minmin. People say she’s the girlfriend of Chen Hao, the heir to Bright Investment.”

“A married woman?”

Qian Qian interrupted, “Let me go, Ze.”

“This is a delicate situation. I’m afraid my brother Peng Fei won’t be able to handle it.”

“You think my surname’s Pan or what?” Peng Fei snapped, then looked seriously at Zhang Ze. “Even if she’s called his girlfriend, it’s probably just a front.”

Zhang Ze’s eyes brightened, smiling softly. “That’s why I say my brother Peng Fei is reliable.”

Praising Peng Fei, Zhang Ze went on, “I think so too. Chen Million and Bright Investment want to extend their reach into the Dan Medicine market in Beijiang Province, but he won’t get involved personally.”

“Therefore, his son Chen Hao and Xia Minmin’s connection act as the bridge between the two sides.”

Qian Qian looked puzzled and asked, “Isn’t Xia Minmin just a minor celebrity? How does she have the ability to help Chen Million reach into Beijiang’s Dan Medicine market?”

This time, Peng Fei answered, clearly having done his homework. “Xia Minmin isn’t anything special. She hasn’t even reached the second-rank cultivation stage, but her father is the real powerhouse.”

Zhang Ze took over, speaking gravely, “Peng Fei’s right. Xia Minmin’s father, Xia Huairen, is a major shareholder of the Beijiang Province Dan Medicine Company!”

“Oh…”

Seeing Zhang Ze and Peng Fei talking so freely, Qian Qian lost interest.

…

After explaining Xia Minmin’s background to Peng Fei, Zhang Ze asked, “So? Are you confident you can help me get to Xia Minmin?”

“Heh~”

“You really want me to sell my charm, huh?”

Peng Fei understood Zhang Ze’s intentions and was no longer joking. His face turned serious.

After pondering for two or three minutes, Peng Fei said, “Ze, I can definitely help with this.”

“But there’s one thing I want to say…”

Zhang Ze fell silent, waiting.

“I think blocking a cult’s funds—honestly…”

Peng Fei suddenly burst into a mischievous laugh, leaving Zhang Ze speechless.

Without further delay, Peng Fei finished and waddled off toward Xia Minmin’s hospital room.

…

Pushing open the door.

Xia Minmin was momentarily startled to see a young man with a lecherous grin.

“What do you want?”

“Who told you to come in?”

“Hehe~”

Reverting to his true nature, Peng Fei showed no shame, walking to her bedside and smiling, “Hey there, girl. Need some love?”

…

“Damn it—”

The fat man woke up at noon, his head still foggy.

But soon he spotted Huang Ming lying on the nearby bed.

He hurriedly lifted Huang Ming’s shirt, wanting to check the wound on his abdomen.

“What the hell are you doing?”

“Why are you lifting my shirt?”

Feeling a chill on his belly, Huang Ming snapped awake, alarmed.

Seeing the fat man’s hand lifting his shirt, how could he not panic?
