Chapter 26

After leaving the detention center, Su Xiaoxiao immediately rushed back home. She found the USB drive in Xiao Bing's luggage, plugged it into her computer, and was shocked by what she saw... It contained detailed records of Chang Huian's bribery, even several audio files where Chang Huian's voice could be clearly heard.

How did Brother Bing get this?

Xiao Bing had only been in Jiangcheng for a few days, how could he have such important information? Moreover, what was Xiao Bing's purpose in gathering this evidence? Could there have been some past grudge between them?

Su Xiaoxiao was all too aware of what this small USB drive represented. If she handed it over to the disciplinary committee, Chang Huian would no longer be the police chief, and it might even implicate several big fish.

Jiangcheng would be shaken!

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, first backing up the contents of the USB drive to her email, then carefully locking it in a drawer by her bed. She breathed a sigh of relief. She had originally wanted to report it immediately, but this step was too important, so she decided to visit Xiao Bing again to see if he had any other hints.

Xiao Bing didn't stay in his cell for long before the second visitor arrived, Ye Xinyi, the young lady of the Ye family.

When Ye Xinyi saw Xiao Bing, his face did not show the worry she had expected, not even a hint of concern, which surprised her and made her feel less confident.

Perhaps because of the Ye family's immense power, there was not even a guard present when Ye Xinyi met Xiao Bing. She was wearing a tight black dress that exuded allure.

Sitting across from Xiao Bing, Ye Xinyi looked at him with a gentle gaze. Her eyes were very captivating, especially paired with her stunning beauty, which could make any man fall for her. Unfortunately, this man was Xiao Bing.

Xiao Bing smiled, "I didn't expect to see you again so soon. This is a detention center, not a place you should be."

Ye Xinyi looked around and smiled, "How did you sleep last night? The conditions here are not good, I'm sure you're not used to it."

"Pretty good, there's food, drink, and even a massage. It's like being treated like a VIP."

Ye Xinyi clearly didn't believe him and smiled, "Actually, from the first moment I saw you, I knew you weren't an ordinary person. I feel even more strongly about that now. Ordinary people don't have such a strong mind. What is your real identity, Brother Bing?"

Xiao Bing asked, "If I say I'm just an ordinary veteran, would you believe me?"

Ye Xinyi shook her head, "An ordinary veteran couldn't get the first person in Chinese medicine to help."

Xiao Bing laughed, "Great people have great opportunities, and small people have small opportunities. I know Zhang Lao because of a small opportunity. Miss Ye, you didn't come here just to chat, did you?"

Ye Xinyi smiled, "Even if you are an ordinary person, you are a capable and smart one."

Xiao Bing smiled faintly, "Thank you for the compliment."

Ye Xinyi's expression became serious, "Xiao Bing, you probably don't know that Xie Lun is narrow-minded and Chang Huian is insatiable. They are trying to put you to death. It would be a waste for a capable man like you to be locked up here for life."

Xiao Bing smiled and looked at Ye Xinyi calmly. His gaze made her feel very uncomfortable, as if everything was out of her control.

Ye Xinyi suppressed her discomfort and said seriously, "As I said before, if you can really get Zhang Yizhi to treat my father, I will do everything in my power to help you get out of here. I may be a woman, but I am a woman of my word!"

Xiao Bing sighed slightly and asked curiously, "Miss Ye, do you know why I refused your request?"

Ye Xinyi shook her head and said honestly, "I don't understand."

Xiao Bing smiled, "Because someone of your noble birth will never understand that everyone needs respect. If you had appealed to my emotions and reason yesterday, I would have helped. But I don't need an equal exchange... and you can't afford it. Even if you don't help me, this place can't hold me. Do you believe me?"

The two looked at each other, and Ye Xinyi suddenly felt a surge of anger. As Xiao Bing said, Ye Xinyi had grown up in a world of adoration. She was a smart woman, capable of both advancing and retreating, but for a woman of her status, she felt that approaching Xiao Bing was already a step back. Xiao Bing, however, was asking for too much, at least in her opinion.

Ye Xinyi slowly stood up, a bright smile on her face, "Since that's the case, I'll go back and wait for good news from Brother Bing. If Brother Bing needs help, he can have someone contact me. The police can find my contact information. I'll leave now."

Xiao Bing watched Ye Xinyi leave. He knew he had offended this proud woman again, but he wasn't afraid because he could afford to offend her!

Xiao Bing was waiting, waiting for the third person to visit him today, the police chief of Jinsha District, Chang Huian!

This wait lasted until evening. After dinner, the cell door opened, and the guard looked at Xiao Bing with a complex expression, "Come out, Chief Chang wants to see you."

Xiao Bing smiled, stood up, and walked to the door. At that moment, everyone had the illusion that Xiao Bing was not a prisoner but a general going to inspect his troops!

While Chang Huian was anxiously waiting for Xiao Bing, Yezi came to Xiaoxiao Noodle Shop. She looked worried. She had been waiting for Xiao Bing's goodnight text message last night but never received it, and she had been upset all day. When she couldn't reach Xiao Bing by phone all afternoon, she realized something might have happened, though she didn't know what.

Seeing Yezi's bad mood, Xu Wenting and Chen Yuanyuan accompanied her. They comforted her all the way, but they couldn't think of a reason why Xiao Bing had disappeared.

When they entered Xiaoxiao Noodle Shop, they found Zhang Jing at the cash register. Yezi looked at Zhang Jing and asked, "Where is Brother Bing?"

"Brother Bing... Brother Bing..."

Seeing Zhang Jing's hesitation, Yezi became anxious and said, "What happened? Tell me quickly."

"He was arrested by the police."

"Arrested? Why?" Yezi's face changed, and she gritted her teeth, "Could it be because of the Yu Hao incident again?"

"It seems to be more than that." Zhang Jing sighed and began to recount what had happened that day.

After hearing the whole story, Yezi and the others looked grim. Chen Yuanyuan and Xu Wenting looked at Yezi with concern, "Yezi... don't worry, everything will be fine."

Yezi shook her head and suddenly rushed to the door. Chen Yuanyuan and Xu Wenting hurried to stop her. Yezi shouted loudly, "Don't worry about me, I'm going to see him... and find out what really happened. If they frame Brother Bing, no matter who it is, no matter the cost, I won't let them off, I won't!"

"Do you really want to fly? Give me your hand, I'll take you."

"She doesn't have time... because she has a date tonight... with me."

"Is the date tonight still on?"

"Of course..."

Yezi sat in her private car, thinking about the moments she and Xiao Bing had shared. She realized that although she had known him for a short time, he had become very important to her.

At this moment, Xiao Bing finally met with Chang Huian.

From the moment Xiao Bing entered the chief's office, Chang Huian felt uneasy. He couldn't imagine why he would feel this way when facing a prisoner, and this feeling made him nervous. He waved the guard away, "Everyone out, all of you."

Before leaving, the guard took out handcuffs. Xiao Bing offered his hands, and the guard cuffed him. Then, only Xiao Bing and Police Chief Chang Huian were left in the office.

Chang Huian sat in the chief's chair and pointed to the sofa, "Sit down. The chief has been sent away, no one will disturb us. What do you want to say to me?"

Xiao Bing sat down on the sofa, looking at Chang Huian calmly, even with a smile, "I knew you would come, because you are a smart person and will do smart things."

Chang Huian frowned, "My time is valuable..."

"Oh." Xiao Bing smiled faintly, "Last June, you received five million yuan from the famous construction company owner Li in Jiangcheng. It was because Li had raped a female student while drunk, and the five million was to buy a life. After receiving the five million, you closed the case."

Chang Huian's face changed dramatically. He slammed the table and shouted, "You're lying!"

Xiao Bing spoke calmly and steadily, "In late October last year, you used your power to promote your mistress to the position of police station chief in your jurisdiction. In early January this year, you received one million yuan in bribes and used your power to bring a failed police exam candidate into the police force... Oh, I have a craving for a cigarette. Can I smoke?"

Chang Huian was speechless, his face full of fear. Xiao Bing walked towards him step by step, took a cigarette from the box on the table, and Chang Huian offered a lighter. His hands were trembling, and it took several tries to light the cigarette for Xiao Bing.

Xiao Bing exhaled a ring of smoke, his cuffed hand on the table, leaning forward. His face was very close to Chang Huian's, his eyes burning into him.

Faced with Xiao Bing's intense gaze, Chang Huian lost his usual arrogance, his voice trembling, "What... what do you want?"

"I want to get out!"

"No... no problem."

"I want you to beg me in front of everyone in the detention center, beg me to let me out!"
