Chapter 244: Chapter 244 Report Letter And Threatening Letter
Dong Xiaoye also noticed that I was gawking at her. Feeling both embarrassed and angry, she gritted her teeth and said, “What are you looking at? !”
“Chest. . . I mean, your bag,” I quickly looked away, shifting my gaze to the small silver handbag she hung on her forearm and said while having cold sweat, “Why are you carrying your handbag while dancing? Don’t you feel awkward?”
“I have to carry it even if it is awkward,” Dong Xiaoye Xingye rolled her beautiful eyes, revealing two neat rows of white teeth, and grinned, “There is a gun hidden inside, lest a certain pervert doesn’t behave himself while dancing. If he dares to take advantage of me, I will definitely use it to shoot him.”
I knew she was joking, but I was still taken aback, “A gun, really?”
Dong Xiaoye smiled triumphantly, “I am police and I am currently on a mission. Do you think it will be fake? So you better behave yourself, if you dare to look at places where you shouldn’t look. I will. . . Hum hum… ”
Dong Xiaoye was carrying a gun, and she had to send me away personally before she was reassured. Combined with the overreaction of Long Yifan just now. . . I couldn’t help but frown, “Is it really dangerous tonight?”
Seeing that I wasn’t joking, Dong Xiaoye also became serious, “Not sure, but if something really happens this evening, it will definitely not be small. After all, those who dare to provoke the Long family are definitely not the people who could be dealt with easily.”
I was curious, “What’s the report letter you just told Wang Jie?”
“Why are you asking so much?” Dong Xiaoye rolled her eyes at me annoyingly and said sternly, “Police business, I can’t say.”
“Police business? How would I know the report letter if you haven’t said it? Don’t give me this excuse.” Even if I knew that Dong Xiaoye was a policewoman, which was a dangerous profession, but when I thought that she might be in danger, I would still be worried. So I simply pretended to be unreasonable, “If you don’t tell me, I won’t leave, lest I will be worried too. As a friend, I have the right to know if you will be in danger.”
“You. . . You are so annoying!” Dong Xiaoye’s face flushed, “Chu Nan, I don’t need you to worry about me!”
“Is that so? Then you don’t have to worry about me either, I won’t leave, and I’ll stick to you today, better yet, we can dance all night and leave together at the end.” After that, my hand on the back of her waist suddenly exerted a little strength, pushing her even closer to me. In the soft cry of Dong Xiaoye, our bodies were tightly pressed together.
Dong Xiaoye was embarrassed and angry, struggling hard, “Let go of me! How dare you take advantage of me? ! You jerk! If you don’t let go of me, I will. . . I will. . .”
“You will what?” I smiled cheekily, “I don’t think you dare to do anything to me because you are afraid of attracting attention, haha.”
“You are such a rascal!”
“So what?”
“I. . . Alright, I am scared of you, okay?” Struggling would only increase the friction between our bodies. Dong Xiaoye’s face was red as blood, and she finally gave up struggling, staring at me angrily, and suddenly asked, “Are you treating all women like this?”
I blushed, “You are thinking too much. We are friends, it’s normal for me to care about you, right? Aren’t you the same? You are clearly on a mission. If you don’t care about me, why do you have to reveal your identity and ask me to leave?”
Dong Xiaoye automatically filtered the second half of my sentence, and said to herself, “Then it means that you have been treating all the women you know the same way, overly ingratiating and caring. No wonder Liusu and Miss Mo would like you, but you can save your energy, I will not fall for it!”
I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry. Did this woman think that I wanted to chase her?
“I know, I know, but I like to please you and care about you, okay? Who asked you to be this devastatingly beautiful? I just couldn’t help it. . .”
“Bah! You are devastatingly beautiful!” After Dong Xiaoye retorted to me with a smile, her cheeks became even redder. This woman. She clearly enjoyed the compliment, but she didn’t want to admit it. . .
It turned out that the reason why the police entered the manor in disguise was not that the Long family members had called the police. On the contrary, the Long family members still insisted on opposing the intervention of the police, and insisted that they had never received anything like threatening letters.
The reason why the police were here was that they had received an anonymous report letter on Saturday, claiming that Long Xiaotian would be killed on the eightieth birthday. The report stated that in the past fifteen years, Long Xiaotian had personally participated in more than thirty illegal business competitions. It also included a large number of evidence of him bribing government officials, and involving in some other criminal activities.
Because there were so many people involved, the people who were involved were either high-level officials or someone who had a big influence, so the authenticity of the report remained to be determined. However, it was clear that the reporter was not aimless, and the police even suspect that the reporter may be determined to commit a crime.
Despite that the Long family insisted that the report letter was a malicious attack by a competitor. It was completely slander and intimidation, and they insisted on hosting a birthday party. The content of the report letter needed time to verify, and the police were not completely sure that this was definitely not a prank, so they couldn’t forcefully interfere. After two days of discussion, they finally gave in. The Long Family agreed that as long as the police did not disturb the guests, they could deploy their men in the manor. This was why Dong Xiaoye was dressed like this.
Yesterday, Dong Xiaoye’s day off was suddenly canceled, and she was called back to the station for this reason. No wonder I couldn’t get through her cell phone all day today. It turned out that all the police officers who participated in the mission had to hand in their cell phones. The inconsistency that I felt before entering the manor because the low-end cars parked outside turned out to be driven by them.
I thought the police were too careless, but Dong Xiaoye explained that this was the idea of Lin Zhi, the captain of this operation. Because everything about the suspect was not clear, the primary goal of the mission was to protect the safety of the Long family and their guests. If the cars outside the manor could attract the attention of the person who sent threatening letters, it would be great if it could scare the person away. Otherwise, it could also act as psychological pressure, forcing the person to make mistakes in the banquet and exposing themselves.
This captain was really shrewd. . .
In fact, after I thought about it carefully, I also realized why Wang Jie had a relaxed mentality just now. If I really wanted Long Xiaotian’s life, would I send him a threatening letter in advance? Even if I were mentally abnormal and was sure that the Long family would not call the police, I would not be that crazy to provoke the police, right? Moreover, no matter how I looked at it, this report letter with the obvious motive of committing the crime and the threatening letter sent to Long Xiaotian should come from the same person or a group of people.
Since it was unlikely for someone to inform the police before committing the crime, then it would be obvious that this was just a bluff. If the Long family hadn’t had a similar incident before, the police would have probably ignored the anonymous report. And perhaps like me, many officers were just here to enjoy a free meal. . .
Dong Xiaoye probably also thought that it was very unlikely that someone would cause trouble this evening, otherwise, she definitely would not tell me the whole story. The reason why she would show up was maybe that she had seen me with Mo Fei again. As for why she wanted me to leave so badly. Firstly, she wanted to warn me not to cheat on Liusu, secondly, she also wasn’t completely sure the accident definitely would not happen.
Just like what she said, if the person who sent the threatening letter was not bluffing, then the person must be a maniac. And if it was really a maniac, then it would definitely be very dangerous. This was probably the reason why Dong Xiaoye was carrying a gun.
It was really not easy for the police. Clearly knowing that it could be just a bluff, they still had to treat it as real. Anyway, it seemed that I didn’t need to worry about Dong Xiaoye. I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After a song finished, I could no longer see Wang Jie. I guessed that he may have gone back to the area where he was responsible. It was at this moment, Dong Xiaoye and I were finally separated. We were both embarrassed after holding each other for a long time, but after we separated, there was a little emptiness in my heart.
Women were really wonderful creatures. The feeling of holding them in the arm was really intoxicating. I couldn’t help but secretly scold myself for having such a thought.
“Huh? What took her so long?” After I drank two glasses of juice, I still didn’t see Mo Fei coming back. I was a little anxious. Could it be that the Long family didn’t want to let go of the old woman and Ku’er? Or was it that the old woman and Ku’er were unwilling to leave?
Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered an important question. So I asked Dong Xiaoye, “By the way, Sister Xiaoye, the principal of the elementary school we went to yesterday is your close friend, right? And you seem to be the honorary principal of that school, right?”
“What?” Dong Xiaoye asked vigilantly, “Don’t tell me that you are interested in Elder Sister Chen. I’m telling you. Elder Sister Chen has already married.”
“I’m asking something serious, stop joking, okay?” I assumed a serious face and asked sincerely, “Actually, I need you to do me a favor. . .”
My intuition told me that Dong Xiaoye just didn’t like me to inquire about her personal affairs. Seeing that I was serious, she also stopped joking and asked curiously, “A favor? What is it?”
Feeling a little bit embarrassed, I said with a smile, “would it be possible for you to rent me a room in the school? . . For the sake of our friendship, the rent can’t be too expensive. . .”
Seeing that Dong Xiaoye was confused, I told her about the old woman and Ku’er, “You see, after the trouble I caused, they definitely would be bullied if they stayed here in the future. That butler Gao who was fired is the cousin of the second daughter-in-law of the Long family. So…”
“Mhm, what you said makes sense. . .” Dong Xiaoye also disliked the behavior of Butler Gao, and sympathized with the old woman and Ku’er, but she suddenly frowned, looking at me funnily, and asked with an enigmatic tone, “But, Little Chu, why do I feel like you are making me bear the consequences for you? Actually, if you didn’t cause that trouble, they probably would still be able to stay here. Moreover, it also made us very nervous for a while earlier. We all thought it was the person who sent the threatening letter that caused the trouble.”
“That’s why I said that I need you to do me a favor. Besides, that school has many rooms, right? It is not like they would not pay rent.”
“Bah!” Dong Xiaoye rolled her eyes and chuckled, “Students’ accommodation costs are only a few hundred yuan a year, it is much cheaper than renting a house. You really know how to take advantage of everything.”
The benefit of renting a student’s accommodation was much more than that. There was a canteen in the school, and many teachers and students could also help me take care of the old woman and Ku’er.
More importantly, there was nothing more suitable for Ku’er than an environment full of vigor and happiness. I smiled shamelessly and didn’t deny what Dong Xiaoye said. I knew Dong Xiaoye would not reject me, because I always feel that Dong Xiaoye and I were the same kinds of people. The kind of people who had excessive empathy for other people.
