I didn’t answer Xiang Feng’s words.
I didn’t want to discuss with anyone about whether I like Leon or not, because such a discussion was pointless.
Like or dislike, so what? It’s too ironic to talk about like and dislike now that Leon and I were so incompatible, looking at each other with disdain.
“We don’t talk about it, anyway, just get this thing done for me. Didn’t you suggest we form an ally? I promised I’ll ally with you.”
Xiang Feng moved her body, seemed to be relaxed a bit, and leaned back slightly. “I told you so, there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests. Both of us are women, and both are women in the Hua family, it’s not easy for women to survive in such a powerful family, of course we have to support each other.”
“So you would choose to help me drive away that woman beside Leon?” I asked Xiang Feng.
“Sure, I’ll take care of it.” Xiang Feng said confidently.
“What are you going to do?” I asked.
“You don’t have to worry about, just wait for my good news. Of course, you have to cooperate, after all, you are his wife.”
“I don’t care what you do, but I have one requirement, Leon must not be affected by this, it’s Nan Lin who I’m dealing with, not Leon, you must be clear about this, you must not hurt Leon.”
“Look, I told you. You like Leon. A woman who likes a man is just like you, rest assured, I have a lot of ways.”
I stood up and picked up my bag, “That’s fine, I’ll go now, remember to transfer the money to my account and the account number will be sent to your phone later.”
Xiang Feng still looked at my bag nervously, “Be careful…”
I smiled and walked out of the ‘White House’.
With things settled and also earned five million dollars, my mood was really good, I decided to go shopping at the mall and buy two outfits for Alex.
Although he didn’t lack of clothes, it seemed like his clothes were all bought by Leon, I wanted to spend my own money and bought something for my little boy.
But when I was not arrived downtown, suddenly there were two police cars with sirens shouting from behind, telling the car in front to pull over for inspection, the license plate being shouted was mine.
Before I could react, one of them had already come in front of my car and forced me to pull over.
I instantly understood that this was Xiang’s retaliation.
I didn’t get out of the car right away, and I opened my bag before it was too late, folding up the notes and materials which Xiang had written and stuffed them into my underwear.
It’s not much paper, but extremely uncomfortable being stuffed in, however, this was my only choice.
I’d just taken care of it when the police came over and banged on the window, “Lady, please step out of the car to receive an inspection. Please cooperate.”
I rolled down my window and took off my sunglasses, “Officer, what can I do for you?”
“We have received a report that you are suspected of having contrabands in your vehicle, please step out of your vehicle for inspection.” The officer said.
It was definitely Xiang, this old woman was really a bad-ass.
If I really have nitroglycerin with me, I’m afraid I would be in trouble.
“Officer, I’m a good citizen, where’s the contraband? Are you taking the wrong person?”
“Please cooperate with us. Please get out of the car for inspection. Or we’ll sue you for obstruction of justice.”
“Ouch, I’m an ordinary citizen with little guts, officer, please don’t scare me.” I put on a scared face.
“Please get out of the car!” The officer looked impatient.
I had to get out of the car with my bag, but I was stopped by the officer, “Don’t move the bag, we need to check it!”
The policeman was also a bit tensed, probably because Xiang told him that there were explosives in my bag, and he worried that it would suddenly explode.
I had to put my bag down. Suddenly I felt a little funny, “Officer, what are you worried about? By the way, don’t you policemen need a warrant to search a car? Also, you haven’t shown your police certification. How do I know whether you’re a fake officer?”
The policeman changed his attitude again and he immediately showed me his certification, “We’ve been reported temporarily, we’ll take your car and you back to the station and check them, the relevant formalities will be done later.”
“So you guys are going to take me away? Am I going to be cuffed?”
“You don’t need to, you’re not a suspect, we just got a call and we have to verify it. Please cooperate.” That officer had a much better attitude.
I got into the police car and my car was driven to the station by another officer.
I waited at the police station for about half an hour and then the officer came over and said that they had done the inspection and there was nothing unusual about my car and bag. I was good to go.
I was not done with this. You could bring me here as you want, and if you want me to go, I need to go instantly?
“Officer, you didn’t find anything, at least tell me who actually reported it, right? You brought me here with no relevant formalities, and now that nothing has been found out, you let me go and I must go? What if you guys bring me back as soon as I go out?”
“Umm, about who reported it, we can’t tell you, it’s a misunderstanding. But citizens have an obligation to cooperate with the judiciary.”
I nodded, “I understand, so I’m very cooperative, but you guys searched through my personal belongings inside and out without any formalities. Is it possible to search someone’s personal belongings with a single certificate? I wish I can get an explanation. If not, I’m not leaving.”
“Why are you staying here?” The cop frowned.
“Stay here and wait for explanation. This is a civilized society and law enforcement has to abide by the law, I can’t accept that you acted like this, I don’t feel safe.”
The police officer seemed to be unable to make a decision and went inside to report to the superior.
Then I was left hanging.
I’m not in a hurry anyway, so I just sit here. I wanted to see how they would handle this. I guessed that they know who I was, and I wanted to see how much influence the Hua family, as well as Leon, really had in Hai City.
After about half an hour, the cop came out again, this time he apologized to me.
“Madam, I’m really sorry, this time they had done something which was not in line with rules in the inspection process. I hope you can forgive them, and you can rest assured, I’ll let them write a self-criticism now, and I promise that we will definitely regulate law enforcement in the future.”
I smiled and said, “It’s okay, actually I was set up, I just wanted to know who set me up.”
He continued, “We really can’t tell you that, we have to protect the privacy of whistleblowers. Madam, you must have a lot of thing to do, so let’s stop here. Please also stop making us difficult.”
Since that he already apologized to me, if I continued to ask, he might be angry. After all, the one who reported me was not a simple woman, she has a much higher position in the Hua family than me.
I stood up and said, “Officer, I’ll go then. I’m timid, so don’t you guys scare me in the future.”
“Of course not. You take care.”
After coming out, I saw Xuanlong Jiang’s black jeep, he was leaning against it and smoking.
“They called Fourth Brother, and Fourth Brother asked me to come and see. What the hell is going on?” Xuanlong Jiang asked.
“It’s okay. A misunderstanding. Why are they calling Leon?”
“They said you’re stuck in the bureau and won’t leave, and their leader called the Fourth Brother and begged the Fourth Brother to come and take you away. Fourth Brother says it’s out of his hands, so let them figure it out themselves.” Xuanlong said.
I smiled, “It seems that Leon doesn’t have much influence either, people can arrest me if they want.”
“Fourth Brother asked me to ask you whether you were troubled or not, if so, you go back home, and Fourth Brother will come over after the meeting.”
