5 In Hot Water (1/2)
An important event was happening on that day in Future New City.
Qiaoshi Group 1 's president had personally come to carry out inspections on the building site. The Engineering Department was a bundle of nerves, kept on tenterhooks.
With the papers out a few days ago, practically everyone found out the union bust between the Yang and He family, so everyone was feeling the pinch for the president to visit at a sensitive moment like this.
One false step and they could be sacked.
The construction site in Future New City was informed to put safety first as well as to watch their tongue. Any mistake could cost them their job.
Yang Xinyi became the center of attention as she got down the car with sunglasses and activewear on with her hair coiled up.
She was like a proud swan among the crowd with all eyes on her.
”President Yang, welcome.” Head of the Engineering Department, Xia Qiu came over with a group of engineers.
”Hand me a safety helmet,” Yang Xinyi instructed.
With haste, someone passed a new safety helmet over. After putting it on, Yang Xinyi headed straight to the construction site.
It was then, her phone rang.
”President Yang, I received word that He Haodong dispatched a mass amount of resources to seek Ye Xiong's whereabouts,” the group's Security Manager said.
”Have you managed to find out?”
”As of yet, no.”
”Continue your investigation and find Ye Xiong before they do,” Yang Xinyi ordered.
After hanging up, that mysterious and accomplished man came onto Yang Xinyi's mind once again.
Who was he? What profession was he in? Why did he help her?
Ever since the night, he seemed to have vanished into thin air. Yangshi Group and Heshi Group 1 were both highly influential families in Jiangnan City yet they were unable to locate him. It was as though he disappeared from the face of the earth.
”President, shall we look at the townhouses or houses first?”
”Let's look at the townhouses first!”
Future New City was a promising project and Xinyi Group had invested no less than 3 billion in it. It was one of the best commercial buildings in the city and one of Xinyi Group's important estate at this stage.
On the path towards the townhouses.
Ye Xiong wore a torn rubber slipper as he pulled a wheelbarrow loaded with bricks with the lanky Wang Tong alongside him towards the construction site.
”Brother Xiong, do you know why Yang Xinyi broke off the engagement that night?”
”He Haodong was cheating on her with another woman in the bedroom upstairs during the wedding!”
”Pah, as if that was true.” Wang Tong gave him the finger.
”Why won't you believe me when I tell the truth?” Ye Xiong sighed and continued, ”I then went to Yang Xinyi's villa for a seat and chatted with two beauties in the same room.”
”I call bullshit.” Wang Tong lost his mind.
The two went on chatting and were almost near the townhouses when Ye Xiong's eagle eyes caught sight of a valiant policewoman. She was talking to Madam Bao.
”Oh, shoot!”
He could tell that the policewoman was the high-ranking police that cuffed him to a billboard the other day.
”I need to take a piss.” Ye Xiong pulled down his helmet and slipped away from the side.
He had made his great escape into the construction site when his phone rang. It was from Madam Bao.
”Just won't leave me alone!”
He set his phone on silent before slipping into the site.
”Where's Ye Xiong?”
Madam Bao was puzzled when she noticed Wang Tong walking over. ”Didn't I arrange you two in a group? Why are you the only one here?”
”Brother Xiong went to take a leak.” Wang Tong's eyes lit up at the sight of Luo Weiwei.
A voluptuous figure, delicate facial features, and long lashes. Her deep eyes, paired with that body in a police uniform was more charming than those uniformed beauties in porn.
”When did he leave?”
”A few minutes ago.”
Knowing she found the right person, Luo Weiwei exclaimed sternly, ”He better be captured within five minutes or you'll be culpable.”
”What did Ye Xiong commit?” Madam Bao asked with a weak voice.
”Rape.” The thought of the guy had Luo Weiwei's blood boiling. Hence, she intimidated them so they would strive to search for him.
”Fellow officer, I think you might be mistaken. Brother Xiong isn't that kinda guy.” Wang Tong immediately cried.
”If he did not commit any wrong, why did he flee when he saw me?” Luo Weiwei asked in return.
”I'll help you search for him,” Wang Tong ran off after he said these words.
Madam Bao entered the construction site and yelled, ”Everyone, stop what you're doing. Find Ye Xiong, he's in hot water.”
Ye Xiong was hiding by the toilet. After his phone rang several times, he turned off the service.
A group of workers walked over, pointed at him and shouted, ”He's there, quick, grab him.”
”Ye Xiong, I can't believe you're this kind of guy. How can we be so blind?”
”You won't even let a fifty-year-old lady go, are you even human?”
”There are a few police cars out there waiting for you, you better surrender.”
”Don't waste your breath on him. Catch him and beat him up before handing him over to the police.”
The group of people charged over with vigor.
Ye Xiong was startled. Were these guys out of their minds? He only ran over a car, when did he rape an old lady?
Nevertheless, making a getaway was the matter at hand or these guys would beat him into a pulp.
Resting his hand on the wall, Ye Xiong flipped over and made a quick escape.
”There he is, don't let him escape.”
”Darn it!”
Ye Xiong made a sharp turn to the left by a pile of cement when a figure jumped out and pounced towards him.
