4 Feisty Beauty (1/2)
”Fellow officer, careful not to pull the trigger,” Ye Xiong pointed at her gun and reminded in a low voice.
Luo Weiwei was filled with curiosity as she looked at this guy in tattered clothes who was obviously a construction worker.
A normal civilian would hide away in fear like a rat scurrying away from a cat at the sight of the police. However, this guy was not the least bit frightened?
”Put your hands over your head and kneel on the ground. You better listen up,” Luo Weiwei ordered.
Ye Xiong willingly got on his knees.
”Why did you run over someone else's sedan? Are you trying to act cool?”
”Fellow officer...”
”Get down, who said you can stand up?” Luo Weiwei reprimanded.
Just how feisty was this chick?
Ye Xiong got back down on his knees and lifted his head. A certain rack was just at his eye level.
”Fellow officer, you didn't hear how cruel this woman was, yelling at me. She said I was a lousy construction worker and wouldn't be able to compensate for her car damage even if I sold myself, so I ran out of fear.”
”It's really nothing, even if she was in my face. I am only a civilian after all but she even brought up the police, saying the police station was her family's backyard, with dozens of police at her service at a single call. With my life at stake, how can I not run?”
Ye Xiong looked pitiful as he depicted with such a solemn yet mournful voice.
”She really said so?”
”If I'm lying, god can punish me by letting my wife run off with another guy.” Ye Xiong raised his hand to swear. He did not have a wife anyway.
”Even if she said so, there's no need to run over their car. It comes with horrible consequences.” Luo Weiwei softened her voice.
”It's my fault. I despise the rich. It's an innate weakness of mine. Fellow officer, just let me go this once!” Ye Xiong lifted his head to look at her with sincerity.
”Your identification card and driver's license.”
”I don't have them with me.”
”Both of them?”
”We don't bring anything along with us, working in this industry. We get wet all over while working, and that includes our underwear...”
”Shut up, what is this nonsense.”
Luo Weiwei could not bother with this guy of humble origins so she placed a call to her fellow traffic police to take over the situation.
”I'm Luo Weiwei, there's a person who violated traffic conduct. Send someone over to take this person and vehicle away.”
After the call, Luo Weiwei patiently waited aside. A criminal investigator such as herself would not handle such a petty matter.
At that moment, her phone rang and Luo Weiwei picked up.
”Sister Wei, the woman confessed and admitted she trafficked kids...” The sound was loud on the receiving end.
”Great, where's the b*stard?”
”His lawyer posted bail. The woman won't point fingers to the person behind it.”
”I'll come quickly.”
Luo Weiwei hung up and fished a pair of handcuffs to chain Ye Xiong to a billboard that was as tall as an average man.
”Stay here. My colleague will arrive soon.” Luo Weiwei placed the key on the engine of Ye Xiong's ride before driving off.
”Lil Zhang, I'm leaving for the bureau first. I have cuffed the guy and the key is on the front of his vehicle.”
Once Luo Weiwei was out of sight, Ye Xiong curled his lips into a taunt. He put up both his arms and left his feet hanging in the air.
A thin wire fell onto the ground from the pocket of his pants. He hooked the fallen wire with his right foot and gently hurled it to his hands.
The handcuffs were unlocked in less than a minute.
”Sigh, I'm late again. Madam Bao's gonna rupture my eardrums with her yelling.”
...
Luo Weiwei's phone rang the moment she returned to the bureau.
”Sister Wei, the guy fled,” Lil Zhang said at the other end of the call.
”I cuffed him. Who gave him the key?” Luo Weiwei was puzzled.
”I have questioned witnesses. Apparently, he used a wire to unlock the handcuffs.”
Luo Weiwei was stunned. She had found it unbelievable that he rode his bike over a sedan and that he unlocked the handcuffs with a wire? What was he?
”I'll catch him after I'm done with matters here,” Luo Weiwei hung up after she said those words.
It was about nine o'clock when he arrived at the site. Ye Xiong quietly sneaked into the site when a furious voice rang in his ear.
”Ye Xiong, stand right there.”
The forty-year-old supervisor, Madam Bao had one hand on her thick waist like a vicious landlady in the movies. With one hand pointing at Ye Xiong, she ran her mouth. ”What time is it? Do you still want to work?”
Ye Xiong turned around with a lit-up face.
”Enough with the excuse. I won't believe you no matter what you say,” Madam Bao who was taken in so many times in the past stated beforehand.
Fever, traffic, accident, broken alarm, were some of the few excuses. Madam Bao was immune to his nonsense.
”Madam, I don't have an excuse today. You can deduct my salary but I have something I've been meaning to say to you for a long time.”
