they searched her home, she would definitely get wind of it and rush over here in haste, only to fall right into their hands. If this had happened at the police station, it wouldn’t have been so easy...Chapter 385 Bai Shengtian's Troubles

The reason why these policemen were happy was actually quite simple. They had all been kept up for a night because of this guy named Fan Jin, just like Leng Bingbing, none of them had slept since last night.

Last night, Fan Jin was robbed with a knife less than 500 meters away from the Dong District Bureau. As the head of the provincial criminal investigation department, he being robbed would likely make people laugh if it were publicized.

However, for Fan Jin, now wasn't the time to worry about mockery. He had been robbed of a few thousand cash, which wasn't a big deal for him. The biggest problem was that his service pistol had also been stolen!

The consequences of a policeman being robbed of their gun were naturally very serious. As such, Fan Jin immediately came to the Dong District Bureau and found Leng Bingbing, who handled criminal investigations, demanding she solve the case quickly and recover his service pistol.

However, as the head of the Criminal Investigation Department, Fan Jin being robbed was bad enough; he even couldn't remember what the robber looked like clearly. Moreover, there were no surveillance cameras in the vicinity where the robbery took place. After searching around the scene for a long time, the Dong District Bureau found almost no clues, and thus made little progress on the case.

The people at the Dong District Bureau had cursed Fan Jin countless times in their hearts. The guy wasn't without subordinates at the provincial bureau; he didn't need to come here and bother them. Even if he did come to bother them, he would occasionally lose his temper in the police station as if he were its chief.

Now that they saw Fan Jin had been beaten up, everyone was very pleased. This fool finally got what he deserved; he thought he was the chief of the Dong District Bureau. To be honest, even if he really were the chief here, he wouldn't dare to shout and scream at Leng Bingbing like this. Now he's suffering for it

"Director Fan, did you fall and get hurt" At this moment, Tong Jiang walked in from outside. Seeing Director Fan's disheveled appearance, he was stunned for a second before asking.

Tong Jiang really didn't know how Director Fan ended up like this. But when he asked the question, it almost made all the other policemen on site burst into laughter; their expressions were rather odd, clearly struggling to contain their amusement.

"You guys... Humph!" Director Fan glared fiercely at Tong Jiang and let out a heavy snort of indignation before storming off. Before leaving, he cast one last icy glance back at the cold office, no doubt harboring resentment towards Leng Bingbing.

“Hahaha…” As soon as Director Fan left, everyone could no longer contain their laughter and burst out laughing.

Tong Jiang was somewhat bewildered: "What's so funny What happened"

"Captain Tong, you don't know that just now, Chief Leng beat up Director Fan. Hahaha..." One of the policemen kindly explained to Tong Jiang.

Tong Jiang couldn't help but feel stunned and thought, could it be that Director Fan, driven by lust, tried something inappropriate towards Miss Cold, only to get beaten

At this moment, Leng Bingbing's office door was opened, along with an irritated voice saying: "Hey, keep quiet! The policewoman is sleeping!"

Everyone's mouth dropped open, staring blankly at Xia Tian who had appeared at the door. No one could figure out when he had arrived.

This moment, everyone suddenly understood. The person who beat Fan Jin so badly wasn't Cold Ice but this legendary super tough guy, Xia Tian, who was known for beating people up everywhere.

White Shengtian and Huang Anping were on their way to Holiday Sunshine Hotel at the moment. White Shengtian seemed to be deep in thought.

Holiday Sunshine Hotel was actually a very ordinary business hotel with no fame in Jianghai City, and it couldn't compare to those large hotels in terms of scale or conditions. Perhaps the only unique thing about this hotel was that its owner was quite a young woman.

Even though the hotel was small, it was still a considerable asset. For a young woman to own such a place wasn't an easy feat.

The hotel's owner was named Lu Ping, a pretty woman, and she was also White Shengtian's girlfriend. The time they had known each other was actually quite long because they were classmates in junior high school, and they attended the same high school. From then on, White Shengtian had always liked Lu Ping. In fact, one could say that Lu Ping was his first crush.

However, in her second year of high school during the spring semester, Lu Ping suddenly left school without a trace. Afterward, White Shengtian hadn't seen her for many years until he graduated from university and started working at the court. It was then that an incident made waves back then brought them back together.

At the time, Lu Ping worked as a server in a hotel and encountered a drunk guest who wanted to humiliate her. She stabbed him, but this stab didn't kill him; instead, it hit him where he shouldn’t have been stabbed, turning him into a modern eunuch. As a result, there was no doubt that the police arrested Lu Ping.

This case was tried in the Intermediate Court where Bai Shengtian worked, and he met Lu Ping again. The feelings from their past were rekindled upon their reunion, after which Bai Shengtian secretly helped Lu Ping. Originally, Lu Ping should not have been responsible for this matter, but since the other side had some connections, it was more disadvantageous for Lu Ping. With Bai Shengtian's intervention, things became much simpler, and in the end, Lu Ping was acquitted.

Afterward, Lu Ping became Bai Shengtian’s girlfriend; however, due to concerns about people linking this case to them and causing controversy, their relationship remained relatively secretive. Very few of Bai Shengtian's acquaintances knew about it either. Of course, Huang Anping being as close to Bai Shengtian as he was, naturally understood the situation and had even helped out back then.

The Holiday Sunshine Hotel that they were talking about was also one that Bai Shengtian had assisted Lu Ping in acquiring. As time went on, few people remembered this case from a couple of years ago. The two started planning their wedding until this incident occurred unexpectedly.

Bai Shengtian clearly knew that today's situation was orchestrated by Wang Dahai because he happened to know about Bai Shengtian and Lu Ping’s relationship. Actually, back then, Bai Shengtian had even asked Wang Dahai for help. Therefore, at present, Bai Shengtian wasn't just worried about Lu Ping potentially being apprehended; he was more concerned that the case from years ago would be dug up.

"Mr. Bai, something terrible has happened! The madam has been taken away!" After finally arriving at the hotel, Bai Shengtian immediately heard a frantic voice from one of the front desk staff as soon as he got out of his car.

“Who took her” Bai Shengtian asked urgently, slightly pale. He didn’t expect to be late even after rushing over.

"I don't know them either; I heard they're from the East District Public Security Team, and their leader's surname is Liang, probably a captain or something!" The staff member quickly said.

“It’s actually Liang Jing!” Huang Anping immediately added, “He’s the head of the public security team. I will call him right now and demand he releases her!”

"Xiao An, wait a moment," Bai Shengtian stopped him. "Things won't be that simple. We should go directly to the Eastern District Bureau instead of making phone calls."

"Alright, let's head there right away!" Huang Anping agreed.

Less than ten minutes later, Huang Anping and Bai Shengtian arrived at the Eastern District Bureau and headed straight for the Public Security Brigade.

"Hey, isn't this Captain Huang from the city bureau What brings you here" Before Huang Anping could enter the Public Security Brigade, he encountered a thirty-something-year-old man with a dark face in the corridor. This man greeted Huang Anping warmly, but his enthusiasm seemed somewhat insincere. This person was none other than Liang Jing, the captain of the Eastern District Bureau's Public Security Brigade.

What made Huang Anping and Bai Shengtian look even more displeased was that Liang Jing had someone else with him—Wang Dahan. At this moment, Wang Dahan was looking at Bai Shengtian with a victorious gaze, his face showing hints of satisfaction and disdain.

"Captain Liang, we are all reasonable people; let's not beat around the bush. I'll ask you directly: what conditions do you need to release Lü Ping" Huang Anping said, lightly huffing.

"Lü Ping" Liang Jing first looked puzzled before he suddenly understood. "Oh, you mean the boss of Holiday Sunshine Hotel Captain Huang, this matter is a bit complicated. Lü Ping is suspected of organizing prostitution."

"Liang Jing, don't give me this nonsense!" Huang Anping was impatient. "Just answer: will you release her or not"

"Captain Huang, although there is no conclusive evidence regarding Lu Ping's involvement in organizing prostitution, her hotel accommodating such activities is a proven fact. I don't think she can be released temporarily; I believe at the very least she should be detained for several days," said Liang Jing calmly.

"What if I order you to release her" Huang Anping glared coldly at Liang Jing. Although Liang Jing wasn't his subordinate, Huang Anping's father was the Chief of the Bureau and could give orders to Liang Jing. Logically speaking, Liang Jing should show him some respect.

Liang Jing forced a smile and said calmly once more, "Captain Huang, if you order me to release her, I will certainly do so."

"Very well, Liang Jing, I'll remember this!" Huang Anping snorted coldly. He naturally wouldn't go to his father for such trivial matters, and Liang Jing had made it clear that he would not be releasing the person.

"Captain Huang really does have an imposing presence!" Wang Dahai suddenly spoke up with a somewhat sinister tone, "I wonder if Captain Huang can still maintain this domineering attitude once his father is no longer Chief of the Bureau"

“F*** you, Wang Dahai! Are you threatening me” Huang Anping was already annoyed by Wang Dahai. He wasn't as patient as Bai Shengtian, and upon hearing these words, he couldn’t hold himself back and cursed.

"So what if I am" Wang Dahai sneered coldly with a look of disdain, "Huang Anping, Bai Shengtian, I warn the two of you: If you know what's good for you, stay away from Xia Tian. You don’t have the qualifications to be his backing and oppose me!"your family's. Now everyone knows where you live; can your parents hide forever You say you don't have to attend classes now, but do your parents not need to go to work" Mo Wenjing said quickly: "If y...
