153: Chapter 153 A Request 153: Chapter 153 A Request “What are you looking at? Don’t make me gouge your eyes out.” Zhang Ting saw Ye Shikai’s lecherous expression, got somewhat angry, but didn’t dare show it on her face. From childhood, any pervert who dared to mess with Zhang Ting would get beaten up by her. Although she had to admit Zhang Ting had a great figure and was tall, when it came to looks, she was still a bit inferior to Su Qingyu, after all, Su Qingyu was one of the four great beauties of Yanjing. “Then you might as well consult someone else. Doesn’t your police department have criminal investigation staff?” Ye Shikai said indifferently, calling this mighty woman who always acted high and mighty in front of him, and now that she had to ask Ye Shikai for help, it was the perfect opportunity to string her along a bit, and Ye Shikai was not going to miss it. “No, please. Those guys don’t have any real skills, and this time the crime scene... doesn’t have any clues or traces at all, even the surveillance was hacked, so that’s why...” Zhang Ting became anxious as Ye Shikai refused. “Then how do you know I’m good at investigation?” Ye Shikai said. “Our chief told me, and I know you have special forces background. This wouldn’t be difficult for you.” “How are you going to thank me if I help you?” Ye Shikai said with a smile, continuing to look at Zhang Ting with a lewd expression. Zhang Ting really wanted to explode but remained rational, stopping herself from freaking out. If she lost control, she might really end up being a traffic cop forever. “I’ll treat you to... a meal, how about that.” Zhang Ting bit her lip, looking aggrieved. “One meal isn’t enough, two meals are fine too.” “Haha, your salary isn’t even higher than mine, do you think I care about the one or two meals you offer?” Ye Shikai chuckled after hearing Zhang Ting’s offer. Truth be told, even the salary of a low-level white-collar worker at Tianya Group was significantly higher than Zhang Ting’s. “Then what do you want?” Zhang Ting said, “I can only offer you so much.” “Just agree to one request of mine,” Ye Shikai said mysteriously. “Don’t say one, I’d agree to ten,” Zhang Ting perked up immediately upon seeing hope. “In a while, I need to go on a trip out of town. If you have time, just help protect my wife.” “That’s it, you’re kidding, right?” Zhang Ting slapped the table and stood up excitedly, not expecting that Ye Shikai would only make such a simple request, thinking it was going to be a huge favor. “Last time you helped me save Qingyu; now I’m doing you a favor, it’s only fair.” Ye Shikai said, referring to how Zhang Ting, with her proficient sniping skills, had helped Ye Shikai successfully rescue Su Qingyu from the men in black. Ye Shikai had not yet had an opportunity to thank Zhang Ting, and now was the perfect chance to repay her. “Haha, it was my duty. Even if she wasn’t your wife, I would’ve saved her all the same.” Zhang Ting laughed happily upon Ye Shikai’s agreement. “Alright, let’s not delay, take me to examine the crime scene now,” Ye Shikai said as he organized his paperwork and turned back to Zhang Ting. Upon Ye Shikai’s initiative, Zhang Ting didn’t stand on ceremony. She jumped in the car and they both rushed towards the police jail. “Zhang Ting, what’s going on with the police department now, how can someone brazenly escape from jail?” Upon arriving at the scene, Ye Shikai was surprised, not because it was destroyed beyond recognition, but rather because it was completely intact. If it weren’t for the caution tape and a large number of officers and surveyors present, it really wouldn’t seem like anything was amiss. “I don’t know either. Somehow the guy just escaped,” Zhang Ting helplessly gestured. This jailbreak was taken very seriously by the higher-ups, after all, the escape had occurred from the police stronghold and the nature of it was severe. Song Tian was also under great pressure. “Show me the files of the jailbreaker,” Ye Shikai said. Although he did not know the details, looking at the background of the person might provide some clues. “Okay, I’ll go get them for you.” Zhang Ting fetched the file. “Zhang Ting, who is this guy? Why is he allowed to look at the files?” At that moment, a tall and muscular young police officer approached. His biceps bulged threateningly, but Ye Shikai was not one to be easily intimidated. “Li Li, this is an investigation expert I invited. What about it?” Zhang Ting appeared to dislike this Li Li, with an adversarial tone right from the start. Yet, Ye Shikai felt no affection towards this young officer who immediately started questioning his presence. “Any Tom, Dick, or Harry now calls themselves investigation experts. Zhang Ting, make sure you’re not being scammed,” Li Li said disdainfully as he glanced at Ye Shikai. In front of such a tall figure, Ye Shikai was indeed somewhat shorter, but appearances can be deceiving. “If I’m not, then why don’t you find the clue yourself? After all, if you can’t crack the case later, it’ll be you guys who are in hot water,” Ye Shikai said with a sneer. If it weren’t for Zhang Ting’s earnest request, Ye Shikai wouldn’t bother to get involved in this mess. What did he care if these police officers got reprimanded by their superiors? “Kid, are you asking for a beating?” Li Li flared up instantly. The case was like a ticking bomb for every officer in the police station, with immense pressure looming over them, and a small spark was enough to set them off. Before Zhang Ting could react, Li Li’s fist was already swinging. Ye Shikai chuckled coldly, lightly tapped, and pushed Li Li onto the ground. The shove seemed gentle, but it was filled with tremendous power, and someone ordinary like Li Li was instantly flipped over. “Bastard, are you seeking death?” Li Li scrambled up in a disgraceful state, ready to retaliate, but was immediately stopped by a large hand. “Stop it, all of you.” The newcomer was Song Tian, who tightly grasped Li Li’s arm with one hand, forcibly pushing him back several steps. “Chief, this jerk, he...” Li Li tried to justify himself but was immediately reprimanded by Song Tian. “How dare you, Mr. Ye is an expert I invited. Aside from fighting, what else can you do? Get out of here now,” Song Tian scolded, causing Li Li great embarrassment. Although Li Li was unwilling, with Chief Song Tian present, he could not act out and had to leave with his tail between his legs. “Ye, I’m really sorry about that, for the offense just now,” Song Tian approached, shook hands with Ye Shikai, and exchanged pleasantries. “It’s okay, Mr. Song, what’s the situation with this case? Please tell me,” Ye Shikai said with a smile. Song Tian meticulously recounted the details and also handed Ye Shikai the files of the escaped convict.
