Chapter 1202: Scaring the Living Daylights Out of Everyone, Wan the Tiger!

Xie Kai curled up in the corner of the corridor, his hands clutching his head tightly...

He regretted it so much his guts were turning green!

He hated himself for not nipping the disaster in the bud...

Suddenly, a shoulder was gently pressed, and a steady force was transmitted over.

He looked up abruptly; Jiang Jing was standing beside him, though he didn't know when she had arrived.

"Don't worry, Yina is blessed and will be fine." Jiang Jing's voice was very soft.

He did not have a good impression of Xie Kai.

But he knew that if Xie Kai hadn't appeared in time today, things might have been even worse!

"Mayor Jiang, I've let Yina down... I am responsible for this."

Xie Kai's voice was hoarse, filled with self-reproach...

"Actually, Chen Xiaoyu came to see me a few days ago. Before Xie Yina entered the room, I clearly could have stopped her, but she insisted on clearing things up with Chen Xiaoyu in person, and I couldn't talk her out of it... It was my fault for pushing her into the trap."

Jiang Jing frowned slightly, her tone carrying a bit more confusion: "He came to see you? What was his purpose?"

Xie Kai gritted his teeth and said: "He owed usury in Hanzhou and asked me for two hundred thousand right off the bat; I didn't agree. Who could have imagined he would go this crazy..."

Jiang Jing fell silent, her gaze subconsciously glancing at Tang Ye.

Tang Ye understood immediately and nodded slightly: "Usury is a lead. I will contact Wan Ming and have him investigate in Hanzhou."

Jiang Jing patted Xie Kai's arm, soothing him: "Don't blame yourself too much. I've already spoken to the doctors; if it truly comes to the worst, and we can only save one between the mother and the child, I will definitely choose to save the mother."

Xie Kai grabbed Jiang Jing's hand, his eye sockets red, his voice choked with sobs: "It's okay, the mother and child will definitely be fine..."

Tang Ye turned and walked to a quiet corner, took out his phone, and dialed Wan Ming's number.

"Old Wan, there's something I need your help with."

Wan Ming's tone was crisp and decisive: "County Magistrate Tang, just say the word."

"There's someone named Chen Xiaoyu who owes usury in Hanzhou. Help me find the creditor who lent him the money..."

Wan Ming agreed immediately: "That's not hard to do, leave it to me."

Wan Ming was more familiar with the underground paths of Hanzhou than anyone; as long as he found the key person and asked around, the truth would soon come to light.

Half an hour later, Wan Ming led a few people straight to an office building and went directly to the seventh floor.

A young woman was sitting at the front desk, slowly applying lipstick while looking into a small mirror.

Seeing someone enter, she put down what was in her hand and put on a professional smile: "Hello, how can I help you?"

Wan Ming leaned against the bar counter and asked very relaxedly: "Is Ma Da here?"

The woman smiled apologetically: "Our boss didn't come in today. If you have any needs, I can have the manager come over to talk to you."

Wan Ming curled his lip in disdain and deliberately raised his voice: "I'm in a hurry to get a sum of money for turnover; I must talk to Ma Da personally. The amount is not small, the interest is negotiable, and I know he's in the company. Go report it quickly!"

In fact, Wan Ming wasn't sure if Ma Da was there; he was purely bluffing the receptionist.

The woman was indeed intimidated and, not daring to be negligent, hurriedly dialed the boss's office phone.

"Boss, there's a gentleman outside who specifically wants to see you. He says he wants to borrow three million and insists on discussing the interest with you."

Seeing big business at his door, Ma Da beamed with joy: "Bring him directly to my office."

Wan Ming followed the receptionist into Ma Da's office, while the others stayed outside.

Ma Da sat by the tea table and enthusiastically poured a cup of tea: "May I ask the surname of this boss?"

Wan Ming picked up the teacup, tilted his head, drank it in one gulp, put the cup down, and said indifferently: "Surname is Wan."

Ma Da's expression didn't change, and he probed: "I wonder how Boss Wan found me here?"

Wan Ming smiled and threw out a name: "Introduced by a friend, named Chen Xiaoyu."

He deliberately brought up Chen Xiaoyu to dispel Ma Da's wariness.

There was a time gap here—Ma Da didn't know yet that Chen Xiaoyu had already been arrested.

Ma Da was kept in the dark and thought to himself: This Chen Xiaoyu is quite sensible; he just paid off his debt yesterday and is already introducing new clients to me today.

Since it was introduced by Chen Xiaoyu, I'll have to give him a commission later!

"Boss Wan, I wonder how much you need and when you need it?"

Wan Ming said bluntly: "Three million, preferably available right now. The interest can be calculated at the highest standard, and I guarantee to pay it back within a week."

Ma Da slapped his thigh, his face full of joy: "Straightforward! I like dealing with straightforward people like you."

He immediately used the landline to dial the finance department's number.

"Xiao Chen, take three million from the safe and bring it over, it's urgent!"

Not long after, the finance person walked into the office carrying a black briefcase.

With a "click," Ma Da opened the case.

Stacks of brand-new banknotes were piled up neatly.

Afterward, he took out a contract and a pen and pushed them in front of Wan Ming: "Although this is our first time working together, I find you to be a good match, so I'll give you the regular customer rate for interest. If there are no problems, sign it, and you can take the money and go."

Wan Ming's mouth twitched slightly, and he said unhurriedly: "Boss Ma, you didn't even ask about my background, yet you're lending me money so readily?"

Ma Da smiled triumphantly, full of confidence: "I dare to lend money out because I have the ability to collect it back. But I'll warn you, the contract takes effect as soon as it's signed, and interest is calculated daily. If you really don't pay it back on time, the amount will be terrifying."

Wan Ming picked up the fountain pen and signed his name at the end of the contract.

Just as Ma Da reached out to take the contract, a cold glint suddenly flashed in Wan Ming's eyes.

Before Ma Da could react, he felt his wrist tighten, gripped firmly by Wan Ming.

Wan Ming pulled out shiny handcuffs from his waist and, with a "click," cuffed them onto his right wrist.

Ma Da said angrily: "What are you doing!"

Wan Ming kicked him in the back of the knee and took the opportunity to twist his other arm hard behind his back.

"Click," another sound, and both hands were completely cuffed.

Ma Da's arm ached with a piercing pain; shocked and furious, he roared, "Who are you?!"

Wan Ming sneered, "Hanzhou City Public Security Bureau, Wan Ming."

Upon hearing this name, Ma Da's heart went cold.

After Wan Ming became the Deputy Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, he launched several rounds of anti-gang sweeps.

Quite a few of his brothers had been sent inside by him to operate sewing machines.

The man before him, who looked rough and bold, was actually the terrifying "Wan the Tiger"!

"Bureau Chief Wan, I've long heard of your reputation..." Ma Da instantly cowered, his tone softening, "I'm just someone running a small loan company. Let's talk this over; I beg you to show some leniency..."

Wan Ming picked up the contract that had just been signed, his voice cold and hard: "This contract, plus this suitcase of money, is enough to put you away for a long time. However, if you are willing to cooperate with me on a case, I can consider handling this with leniency."

Hearing there was a turning point, Ma Da nodded hurriedly and promised: "Bureau Chief Wan, feel free to ask! As long as I know it, I will definitely confess honestly!"

Wan Ming said in a deep voice: "What is your relationship with Chen Xiaoyu!"

Ma Da made a mournful face, "Chen Xiaoyu no longer has any debt relationship with me. A few days ago, someone helped him pay off the money in one lump sum."

Wan Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pressed, "Who was that person?"

Ma Da hurriedly said: "His surname is Guo, and he runs a private detective agency in Xiyang City. It wasn't the one surnamed Guo who gave the money; it was the person who hired him who paid it back for Chen Xiaoyu."

Wan Ming grabbed Ma Da and hauled him up, "You had better not play any tricks on me."

Ma Da was so scared he broke into a cold sweat and defended himself repeatedly: "Bureau Chief Wan, you're joking; even if you gave me ten times the guts, I wouldn't dare! If I say one word of a lie, I'll let a car hit me the moment I walk out—"

Wan Ming frowned and sternly interrupted: "Damn it, shut up! You're going to be riding in a car with me in a moment, so keep your words auspicious!"
