Chapter 120: Stolen Jade (2/2)

“Little Wang, could you investigate who owns this phone number?” The police officer took the name card and handed it to the other police officer who had just finished investigating the scene.

Little Wang took off his white gloves and took the name card. Then, he left the hotel room.

“When the prostitute left, did she carry anything, for example, a bag? Also, when did she leave?” The police officer who was taking the statement continued.

“She left at 11 a.m. She only had a small handbag with her.” Zhang Jiefang said, “If her handbag was empty, it was possible to keep the imperial jade in it. However, I didn’t expect her to steal it. Hence, I didn’t pay much attention.”

“You are already a big boss. On your business trip, why didn’t you bring your secretary? Why did you get a prostitute?” The police officer mocked Zhang Jiefang. “Well, now you lost something worth twenty thousand!”

“Police officer, it was my fault. I won’t get another prostitute!” Zhang Jiefang was ashamed over what happened. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to have his secretary accompany him. It was because his son was with him and having his secretary by his side would have been inappropriate...

“Alright, it is no use to talk about what had been done now!” The police officer asked a few more questions about the appearance of the imperial jade. Zhang Jiefang answered them one by one.

“Deputy Director Li, I asked my informants about the Sweet Smelling Pavilion Private Escort. It is a northern bath run by Feng Laoliu. Look at this...” At this moment, Little Wang returned and spoke to the police officer.

“En, I understand.” The police officer who was called Deputy Director Li replied. Then, he took his phone and called the number on the name card.

When the phone call was connected, a sweet voice came through. “Hello, this is Sweet Smelling Pavilion Private Escort, do you need any help?”

“Can you help me get Feng Laoliu.” Deputy Director Li asked.

“Are you looking for Manager Feng? Please wait.” The woman replied.

After a while, a man’s voice came on the phone. “Hey, who are you?”

“Feng Laoli, I am Li Xiaoliang.” Deputy Director Li said.

“Aiya, it’s Deputy Director Li. What do you need from me?” Feng Laoliu sounded more enthusiastic.

“Feng Laoliu, let me asked you this. Is the Sweet Smelling Pavilion Private Escort founded by you?” Deputy Director Li asked.

“Deputy Director Li, my company is legitimate. What do you mean...” Feng Laoliu was anxious as he smiled in reply.

“I don’t care if your company is legitimate. That’s the work of the industrial and commercial bureau. Last night, at xx hotel xx room, there was a girl named Xiao Li. Do you have her contact number?” Deputy Director Li asked.

“Deputy Director Li, what do you mean? My company here is a legitimate one. Where did this girl come from?” Feng Laoliu pretended to be innocent.

“Feng Laoliu, stop acting like a fool. Let me tell you straight I have a case here involving the girl, Xiao Li. I don’t plan to involve you at all. Do you want to be in my way?” Deputy Director Li was irritated.

Feng Laoliu understood the meaning once he heard it. He felt more at ease when he wasn’t the target. Hence, he quickly replied, “Yes, we have it! I will pass you her address... Xiao Li’s actual name is Li Moli. Her house is at xx road xx id, fourth unit 601.”

“Is she at home?” Deputy Director Li asked.

“I’m not clear, but she should be. Her line of work typically operates at night.” Feng Laoliu replied.

“Alright, I got it. Don’t spread the news today around or else you will face the consequences.” Deputy Director Li said, “Also, be honest with what you say. If something happens, you will be the first person I look for!”

“Yes, Deputy Director Li. I am a legitimate businessman!” Feng Laoliu replied.

You are a legitimate businessman? Deputy Director Li shook his head. Then, he asked Zhang Jiefang a few questions. Later, he asked him to refrain from leaving the hotel and wait for their news.

“Yang Ming, I apologize that I lost your imperial jade...” Zhang Jiefang felt guilty.

“Nevermind, Uncle Zhang. You have already lodged a report. I believe results will be out soon.” Yang Ming smiled as he comforted him.

“Rest assured. If I can’t get it back, Uncle Zhang will compensate you for your imperial jade. Please don’t be mad!” Zhang Jiefang said.

“Uncle Zhang, look at you. It is alright. How about we go for another round of gambling to acquire another imperial jade!” Yang Ming shook his head and said it without much concern.

Zhang Jiefang heard it but didn’t say anything. He knew Yang Ming was comforting him. Is imperial jade something you get every time just by gambling? Certainly, he didn’t know about Yang Ming’s unique ability. If he knew about his extraordinary powers, he would understand everything was possible for him!
