Protagonist:
Chen Yi
Hu Bin fastened the wind discipline button at his collar and ran out of the barracks looking quite dashing.
A nosy soldier chased after him shouting, "Detachment Commander, who is that star at the gate to you?"
"Haven't seen the person, how would I know." Hu Bin laughed amiably, feeling quite satisfied inside.
He even guessed that maybe Cao Yuan would really gift him a little star to play with, just like back in university when he once gifted that pure and innocent girl to himself.
Passing through the bustling Xuebing Road, a fiery red Ferrari appeared on the other side of the main gate.
Getting a bit closer, Liu Xinyu standing in a standard S-pose instantly made Hu Bin's heart burn hot.
He had only ridden in a Ferrari once in his life — an old friend at the Vehicle Management Bureau drove out an impounded car for a taste, letting him sit in the passenger seat... He had seen quite a few women in his life, but ones this beautiful, it wasn't even easy to get close. Hu Bin began fantasizing about all the good things that had appeared in movies and TV — luxurious banquets, beautiful dance partners, delicacies and fine wine...
"Mr. Cao is really too polite." Walking out the gate, Hu Bin didn't wait for Liu Xinyu to speak, blurting it out himself first.
He turned sideways a bit embarrassedly and waved his hand, trying his best to show his extraordinarily handsome side.
Liu Xinyu smiled reservedly, made no other response, reached out to open the car door, and said, "If Mr. Hu isn't busy, please get in the car."
"Okay, okay." Hu Bin was dizzy-headed; to an ordinary Armed Police Detachment Commander, the beauty and sports car before him represented another kind of life, a life he envied immensely.
As he saw it, besides Cao Yuan, who could or who would be willing to provide a luxury car and a beauty.
"Oh ho..." The crowded soldiers at the gate let out a unified catcall.
The small vendors doing military business also walked out the gate, discussing Liu Xinyu and the Ferrari, and of course Hu Bin too.
Exquisite features, elegant temperament, and a superb figure.
Among the vigorous young men, Liu Xinyu instantly occupied all their thoughts.
"Old Hu, who is this?" The deputy director near the guard post came out, calling out with a hint of jealousy.
"Nothing, nothing." Hu Bin didn't want people to know, waving his body about, happily sat into the Ferrari, then naturally rolled down the window, laughing, "All go back, all go back."
"Fasten your seat belt." Liu Xinyu started the automobile the moment she spoke.
Hu Bin didn't move; he wasn't too concerned and said with a smile, "Smells great. Fine car, beauty, life ah! Where are we going?"
The sports car smoothly entered the main artery, then made a rapid lane change; Hu Bin wasn't paying attention and with a "bang" his head hit the window frame.
The sports car went east all the way; Liu Xinyu kept a cold face and didn't speak.
Passing through the prosperous street, the Ferrari's speed got faster and faster; Hu Bin looked more and more uneasy, asking repeatedly, "We're about to leave the city, where exactly are we going?"
"I want to ask you a few questions." Liu Xinyu gripped the steering wheel tightly; the speed didn't decrease in the slightest.
Hu Bin repeated strangely, "Questions?"
Liu Xinyu's eyes watched the road surface, tone flat and cold: "Have you notified or hinted to any superior leader about the illegal use of Armed Police?"
"What!"
Hu Bin's mood of seeking seclusion was completely lost.
The space inside the sports car seemed to have become cramped.
Hu Bin said uneasily, "What illegal use of Armed Police. I am Armed Police!"
Liu Xinyu didn't argue with him, but directly asked: "Yesterday afternoon, did you dispatch 6 soldiers to escort supplies for Cao Yuan?"
"No." Hu Bin denied flatly, while struggling to unfasten the seat belt, saying, "Let me out of the car."
Liu Xinyu immediately slammed the brakes; tires produced intense friction with the ground, and Hu Bin went "bang" once more, having intimate contact with the car window again.
"Want to get out?" Liu Xinyu didn't turn off the engine.
Hu Bin touched his head, dizzy, somewhat angry and somewhat afraid, asking, "Who are you."
Seems like every movie protagonist has to ask this kind of question.
Liu Xinyu said coldly, "Answer my question."
"What qualifications do you have to ask me questions?" Hu Bin straightened his body; in the enclosed space, the strength of physical constitution determined his courage.
Liu Xinyu looked at him with disdain.
She was already Body Technique Level 8; not to mention a second-line unit officer, even special forces she could casually wrestle.
Under her fierce gaze, Hu Bin never dared to make a move.
"Man without guts." Liu Xinyu's evaluation made Hu Bin's face flush red.
She started the sports car again, saying, "I represent Chen Yi to ask you, so please think clearly, then answer me once more: yesterday, did you dispatch 6 soldiers to help someone escort supplies?"
Hu Bin was startled inside, saying, "Chen Yi knows!"
"You work for Cao Yuan, resist the Chen Family, this matter won't end well."
Hu Bin turned his head away guiltily, saying, "I have no need to tell you."
Liu Xinyu stepped on the accelerator until the speed reached around 120, only then easing up slightly, saying, "Don't harbor any luck; if you deny again, I'll just go find those 6 soldiers to question."
As she spoke, she took down a stack of photos from the car roof and handed them to Hu Bin.
The facial features of the 6 soldiers were very clear in the photos.
"I even know their names."
"What do you want?" Hu Bin still didn't admit it.
"I want you to tell this matter exactly as it happened, including the location and time of your meeting, the content, everything must be told." As Liu Xinyu spoke, she operated on the panel, turning on the recording function.
"I... I don't know anything."
"We're almost at the Corps; the Inspection is already waiting at the gate." Liu Xinyu said faintly, "Before arrival, if you don't confess, then go in and confess."
Hu Bin immediately panicked, shouting, "You're ruining me."
"Speak."
"I..." Hu Bin pointed a finger at Liu Xinyu, but couldn't make a single move.
The car's speed did not decrease for an instant.
This seemed to be a display of Liu Xinyu's decision.
When they were about to pass the Cross-river Bridge, Hu Bin lost his strength and said, "I didn't see Cao Yuan. I'm his classmate, but I didn't see him this time."
"Contact method?"
"Phone."
"How many times, when, content."
"Actually... I won't send anyone to him again."
"Answer the question." Liu Xinyu couldn't be bothered to explain further. A confession from a member within the system, at certain times, has tremendous killing power.
Hu Bin hesitated for a moment, then said dejectedly, "Only twice..."
Once he opened his mouth, he spoke extremely fast.
After Liu Xinyu recorded everything, she also made him sign on the cover.
Hu Bin wanted to refuse, but helplessly submitted in the end.
If it were really sent to the Inspection Division, his career would be completely ruined. He didn't know how strong the Chen Family's power in Jiangning was, but destroying himself, Cao Yuan probably wouldn't step forward.
"This afternoon, you go travel to Canada."
"Canada?"
"We'll help you handle the leave formalities. Emergency care, sent to Canada for recuperation. Come back in half a year, nothing will have changed."
Hu Bin was terrified.
In his view, this seemed to be the Chen Family's comprehensive counterattack against the Cao Family...
Actually, it was merely a small counterattack.
That very afternoon, Hu Bin boarded KLM Royal Dutch Airlines' plane, heading to Hong Kong first. Meanwhile, Liu Xinyu, through Bureau Chief Yan's minor connection, helped him secure long-term sick leave.
At this very moment, Cao Yuan, completely unaware, was still in a state of considerable excitement.
He was sitting in a Cantonese tea restaurant opposite the Jiangning Head Office, watching the crowd redeeming gold downstairs.
"Ordinary citizens have probably received the news by now, right?"
"Definitely. We only swapped 800 kilograms of gold, but they've already redeemed 3 tons." The speaker was Cui Jianshu, General Manager of Jiangning Life Insurance Company.
The Four Major Banks withdrew from the Cao Wang Liu Three Families' run-on-the-bank plan. This made Cao Yuan a bit unhappy, but both sides were in an equal cooperative relationship, and the other two partners still had uses for the banks. After this path was blocked, Cao Yuan chose the insurance company as the funding provider.
In countries worldwide, insurance companies are essentially financial companies by nature. That is to say, their core profit isn't the difference between coverage and claims; more actually relies on currency inflation, interest, and the spread from long-term investment returns to make money.
Purchasing gold is a basic component of insurance companies' long-term investment. Cao Yuan didn't expend much effort to secure the life insurance, using the purchased gold as collateral, while he himself paid interest monthly to run on Jiangning Bank.
In his estimation, it wouldn't take a month before Chen Yi collapsed.
Watching customers come and go from the bank carrying away gold, Cao Yuan could barely suppress his smile.
"Jiangning Chen Family, Chen Yi! From now on, you'll all have to watch my expression."
When Cao Yuan fantasized to the point of pride, a smile surfaced on his face.
"They're out. Let's stop here for today."
Interrupted from his fantasy by Cui Jianshu's words, Cao Yuan hummed a bit unhappily and said, "At the hotel?"
"The last two people are on the road. The other 8 people have all arrived."
The manpower for purchasing gold was also provided by the insurance company. This time, Cao Yuan was determined to pull off a bare-handed coup.
If this matter goes smoothly, everyone will have to look at him with new respect.
Cao Yuan smugly picked up his mobile phone and laughed, "Wait for me to call two groups of people over."
The "beep beep" of the connecting tone rang several times, but no one picked up.
"What's going on." Cao Yuan, extremely displeased, dialed again.
Still didn't connect.
"Whose?" Cui Jianshu, in his 50s and working in the financial industry, had high sensitivity to crises.
"That Hu Bin." Cao Yuan waved his hand, calling over a horse aide at another table, and said, "Do you remember the Armed Police's phone number from last time? Contact him directly. Also, send someone to the rendezvous point to see what's going on."
"Oh." The horse aide stupidly fished out his phone and started searching.
Cui Jianshu said anxiously, "The hotel isn't especially safe either. You must get in the car quickly."
"I know, wait a bit more." Just as Cao Yuan was speaking, his phone rang. He picked it up, looked, and laughed, "It's from Jinquan County. Let those few watch the Head Office then."
Police reassured Cui Jianshu more than Armed Police. He was a person who believed in power, not force.
Cao Yuan waited for another ring before answering, and said in a deep voice, "Where have you reached?"
"Young Master Cao, that... we're stuck on the Outer Ring Road." The scene was very noisy; cursing could be heard.
Cao Yuan's heart gave a start, and he hurriedly asked, "What's blocking you?"
"We were stopped by the Jiangning Expressway Police. They said we need an introduction letter to form a convoy and enter the city." The Jinquan County police were also very depressed; their hoarse voices were the result of the argument just now.
