Chapter 1: The Beautiful Big Girl

  "Mayor Gao." Seeing the tall man, Leng Bing hastily greeted him.

  "Bingbing, you go out first." Huang Haitao waved his hand.

  "Yes, Director." He stood up coldly and walked out of the interrogation room.

  Huang Haitao locked the door, then went to turn off the monitor. He respectfully said to the tall man, "Mayor Gao, we can begin."

  Looking up at Xia Tian, Huang Haitao immediately changed to a stern expression: "Xia Tian, this is Mayor Gao of the Municipal Government. He has some questions for you, and you must answer truthfully!"

  In the summer, he looked at Mayor Gao with interest: "After beating his son, Lao Tzu came out, but you came too early. Is High Mingyang's condition getting worse and about to kick the bucket?"

  "What's your attitude? How dare you speak like that?" Huang Haitao shouted.

  "Hey, Mayor Gao, can you get this guy out of here? He's being too loud!" Xia Tian said, ignoring Huang Haitao and smiling at Mayor Gao.

  "Summer, you'd better behave yourself!" Huang Haitao shouted angrily, he couldn't show weakness in front of the mayor.

  "Comrade Haitao, you go out first." Mayor Gao finally spoke up.

  Huang Haitao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Yes, Mayor Gao!"

  With a hateful glance at Xia Tian, Huang Haitao opened the door and walked out, leaving only Mayor Gao and Xia Tian in the interrogation room.

  The mayor looked at Xia Tian, his eyes sharp and spirited, with a natural aura of a long-time superior, if it were an ordinary citizen sitting across from him, they would have been intimidated by his official power, however, unfortunately, the person sitting across from him was Xia Tian.

  Having spent a long time on the mountain, Xia Tian didn't have any special concept of officials big or small. Moreover, his three masters always said that they didn't need to be afraid of anyone, and Xia Tian thought he was even more formidable than his three masters, so there was no need to be afraid at all. Whether it was a mayor or a provincial governor, in Xia Tian's eyes, they were no different from ordinary people. If he didn't like the look of someone, he could still beat him up.

  "In the summer, I am Gao Renxuan, and Gao Mingyang is my only son." Mayor Gao finally spoke up, "Today, I'm not speaking to you as the mayor, but as a father, to discuss something with you."

  "What's the point of discussing it?" Xia Tian asked absent-mindedly.

  A surge of anger rose in Gao Renxuan's heart, although he was only the Executive Vice Mayor of Jianghai City, and above him were the Mayor and the Municipal Party Secretary, while Jianghai City was a provincial capital city with a group of high-ranking officials at the provincial level who outranked him. However, in reality, even the Provincial Party Secretary would be polite to him when they met, and wouldn't dare to humiliate him openly. But now, this nobody dared to treat him like this!

  Just thinking of his son still in a coma in the hospital, thinking of those so-called experts who were at a loss for what to do, Gao Renxuan finally swallowed this breath. He was able to climb to today's position, and his temperament had long been cultivated to be very good.

  "In the summer, we open the skylight and speak plainly. Although we have no evidence, everyone knows it in their heart. The coma of Ming Yang is caused by you. I don't know what method you used to achieve this, but I only need you to wake up Ming Yang. If you agree, I can guarantee that you can leave the police station immediately and everything will be forgiven!" Gao Renxuan was straightforward and didn't have time to waste. The useless experts at the hospital told him that Gao Mingyang's condition was deteriorating rapidly and it was unclear how much longer he could hold on."

  "Mayor Gao, you're just talking nonsense." Xia Tian shook his head, "There's a saying that goes like this: 'Yan Wang wants people to die at the third watch, who dares to keep people until the fifth watch.' As an excellent fortune teller, I don't dare to defy heaven's will, nor do I have the ability. So, your son's death is an unchangeable fact."

  Gao Renxuan's face turned iron-green, he stood up in anger, but quickly sat back down, his eyes shooting out two sharp glints: "Do you have to be famous even in death?"

  "It's not me who wants him dead, it's heaven that wants him dead." Xia Tian chuckled and said, "Your son has done too many bad things, now the consequences have arrived. As they say, it's not that there won't be retribution, just that the time hasn't come yet. Now your son's time has come."

  "It seems I shouldn't have come today, you didn't have any sincerity at all!" Gao Renxuan looked at Xia Tian coldly. "Young man, leave a way out for yourself, don't make things too absolute!"

  "Mayor Gao, actually I didn't think we'd meet again in the future," Xia Tian said with a smile.

  "It seems we have nothing more to talk about." Gao Renxuan stood up, the anger in his heart burning fiercely, "Xiatian, you will regret this!"

  Gao Renxuan was extremely indignant in his heart, but when he walked out of the interrogation room, he had a smile all over his face.

  "Mayor Gao!" Huang Haitao greeted him warmly.

  "Let him go." Gao Renxuan said with a smile.

  "Mayor Gao, is it settled?" Huang Haitao was slightly surprised and then somewhat admired, indeed a mayor, one shot and done.

  "Some things are better left unasked." Gao Renxuan was slightly displeased, "I'm busy, what to do next, don't need me to teach you?"

  "Yes, Mayor Gao, I will definitely handle it properly!" Huang Haitao nodded hastily.

  Gao Renxuan left less than five minutes, Xia Tian walked out of the interrogation room with a relaxed face. Huang Haitao had just told him that he could leave now, and his beating incident would no longer be pursued. As for the damaged property at Ye Jia Ren, he would negotiate compensation with his boss and Ye Jia Ren's boss himself.

  "Are you okay, Xiati?" Xuanxuan rushed up to him, grasped his arm and asked with concern. Although Leng Bingbing had already told her she could leave, she still waited here for news about Xiati.

  "It's nothing." Xia Tian chuckled and naturally took Sun Xingyun's soft jade hand, "Xingyun sister, let's go back!"

  "Mmm!" Xun Xinxin's lovely face broke into a delighted smile.

  Summer pulled Xun Xun to the door, turned around and smiled coldly at Bing Bing: "Police flower sister, I'll come visit you again in a few days!"

  Leng Bingbing ignored him, while a group of police officers next to them were speechless. This guy is treating this as a vacation?

  ……

  Qiao's Building

  "Xiao Qiao, it's still you who understands me. They all say I don't understand liquor, but actually they just don't know that my favorite is this high-proof baijiu." Jiao Donghai downed a small bottle of Erguotou in one gulp, a look of satisfaction on his face.

  "Big brother, I've already had a drink, just say what's on your mind." Qiao Xiaoqiao smiled faintly.

  "Xiao Qiao, didn't you know what happened with Ye Jia last night?" Donghai asked, somewhat perplexed.

  "I may be a bit out of touch, but something as big as this, I naturally know about it." Qiao Xiaoqiao shook her head.

  "Now that you know, why didn't you have any reaction at all?" Qiao Donghai was even more perplexed.

  "What do you think I should do?" Qiao Xiaoqiao smiled, "Should I go find Gao Renxuan and ask him to let my husband off? Or should I find Big Brother and ask you to intervene with the Gao family? Or perhaps, should I get Governor Qiao to help out?"

  Qiao Donghai detected a hint of sarcasm in Qiao Xiaoqiao's tone and couldn't help but smile wryly: "Xiaoqiao, I just think that since you and Xia Tian have such good feelings for each other, at the very least you should care about his affairs."

  "You're saying that I have no feelings for him, and I only agreed to marry him because he saved my life? Jo Xiaojiao let out a soft sigh. "Big brother, to be honest, among the entire Jo family, you are one of the few people who give me a good impression. Unfortunately, neither you nor anyone else in the Jo family understands me."

  "Hey, Xiao Qiao, you know, you're a genius, your IQ is high. My brother's brain isn't that great, so it's naturally hard for him to understand you." Qiao Donghai smiled awkwardly.

  "I don't care about Xia Tian's affairs, because I know that even if I intervene, it won't have any effect. Without the support of the Qiao family, I'm just a money-making machine called Qiao Xiaoqiao." Qiao Xiaoqiao smiled lightly, "By the way, big brother, I just received news that Xia Tian has left the police station. It's said that Gao Renxuan and he have reached some kind of agreement."

  "Huh, Xiao Qiao, you knew so soon!" Qiao Donghai apparently also knew about this matter.

  "Big brother, you must think that my husband was forced by Gao Renxuan's pressure and had no choice but to agree to save Gao Mingyang's life, right?" Qiao Xiaojiao stretched her waist, her posture was very elegant.

  "Isn't it like this?" Qiao Donghai's face changed slightly.

  "Of course not, I think High Renxuan is unable to make my husband surrender, so he deliberately released him from the police station. Because he plans to use other means, and if my husband was still in the police station, these means would be difficult to implement." Qiao Xiaojiao had a confident look on her face, "Big brother, if you don't want High Renxuan to hate the Qiao family because of losing his son, it's best to tell him immediately and cancel his plan. Otherwise, his son will really die for sure."

  "Qiao, are you serious?" Qiao Donghai's face finally turned solemn.

  "If we want to keep Gao Mingyang alive, there's only one way - to make my husband change his mind." Qiao Xiaoqiao smiled, "And in this world, the number of people who can make my husband change his mind is only one and a half."

  "A half?" Joe Donghai was slightly confused.

  "That's right, there is one person who can make her husband obey her every word, no matter what she says, her husband will listen. But another person may only be able to persuade her husband, so she can only count as half." Qiao Xiaoqiao said slowly, "Unfortunately, the person who can make her husband obey her every word is not in Jiang Hai."

  "Xiao Qiao, and that other one, isn't it you?" Qiao Donghai wasn't stupid either.

  "Big brother, I knew you were quite clever." Qiao Xiaoqiao smiled sweetly, "Help me spread the word out, if they want Gao Mingyang to live, then come beg me!"

  "What's wrong with you?" Qiao Donghai was stunned again.

  "That's right, it's up to me. Whether it's Gao Renxuan who comes to ask me or Mayor Qiao who comes to ask me, it depends on you, big brother." Qiao Xiaoqiao's eyes sparkled with cleverness.

  Qiao Donghai fell silent for a moment before sighing: "I knew it, you can't offend women, especially intelligent ones."
