Return Of The Soldier King Chapter 52 The Death Of Xue Bing

Murong was going to take a taxi, but she figured the situation was too urgent and ended up calling the police to save Lin Qingwan.

The sirens startled Xue Bing. His unsteady feet slipped, and before he knew it, he was freefalling from the 8th floor.

"Ah!!!"

Ye Fei heard his panicked scream, but it was too late to save Xue Bing even if he wanted to. He could only helplessly watch him go over the edge.

After a while, Ye Fei looked down from the window at the crimson splotch of blood and gore below.

A cacophony of sounds came from the street.

Murong and the few policemen with her were about to rush inside when Xue Bing suddenly came plummeting into the pavement. The officers stopped in their tracks and stared uncertainly at the crumpled corpse.

After a short awkward moment, Murong returned to the cruiser and used the onboard radio to report to the police station, "Requesting backup at the Triumph Hotel! I have a civilian casualty; the president of the Ya Lai Group has just fallen from the eighth floor."

Ten minutes later, several more police cruisers arrived and a squad of policemen rushed upstairs, only to find that Officer Murong already had the situation under control.　

The two bodyguards, Ye Fei, and Lin Qingwan were promptly taken to the police station for debriefing. Although Ye Fei didn't kill Xue Bing, he was still involved in his death.

At the police station, Ye Fei was put in the interrogation room again and questioned by two policemen.

A wry smile was firmly planted on his face. It seemed he was destined for this place. This was his third "visit" to the interrogation room in a week.

However, after Ye Fei explained the truth of the matter, he was soon released. Lin Qingwan's recording device was still salvageable and had helped make everything clear once the recording was a.n.a.lyzed.

Xue Bing wanted to humiliate and rape Lin Qingwan, but Ye Fei intervened and stopped him. Subsequently, Xue Bing tried to escape through the window but slipped and fell down from the ledge. His death had nothing to do with Ye Fei.

Lin Qingwan was released from the station as well soon after.

Lin Qingwan was frowning, obviously unhappy, when she ran into Ye Fei outside. She smiled halfheartedly, "Ye Fei, thank you. I can't reward you with money, but… I owe you lunch."

Ye Fei nodded silently. He was not a greedy man. If it weren't for his dead comrades' withheld death benefits, he wouldn't have become Lin Qingwan's bodyguard anyway, no matter how high the salary was.

"This isn't over, though," she continued. "With Xue Bing dead, the trail of clues is gone. Where are my videos? If anyone uses them against me, I'll be finished."

Ye Fei grinned mischievously. "Don't worry, Manager Lin. Check this out!" He took the hard drive and the flash drives from the Burning Bar out of his pocket.

Lin Qingwan stared at Ye Fei in amazement. "This... This is..." she stuttered excitedly.　

"I got these from the Burning Bar. What you want should be on them, but you'd better make sure." Ye Fei smiled and explained everything that happened last night.

"Ye Fei, you really... You really are amazing!"

Unable to restrain her joy, Lin Qingwan suddenly threw her arms around Ye Fei and pressed her delicate lips to his.

Ye Fei was flabbergasted.

Lin Qingwan was a famous beauty. It was hard to imagine she'd react this way, but she was actually kissing him!

After Lin Qingwan kissed Ye Fei, she suddenly realized what she had just done and her face turned bright red. "This... This is just a reward for you," she whispered.

"A reward, right..."

Ye Fei looked into Lin Qingwan's charming, fairy-like eyes. "The most urgent thing to do now is to confirm if the footage is on these drives," he said soberly.

"Then let's go back to the company offices now," Lin Qingwan hurriedly said. However, getting back to her office would require at least half an hour, and she was already very impatient. "Hmm… Maybe we can find an internet cafe nearby," she said eagerly.

As soon as she said that, she realized that wouldn't be such a great idea. Anyone could be looking over her shoulder if she played the videos in such a crowded public s.p.a.ce.

"Let's go back in and find Murong," Ye Fei suggested. "There must be a computer in her office."

"Yeah, let's go." Lin Qingwan patted her forehead. How did she not think of that?

Back at the police station, Murong was quite amazed to learn that Ye Fei had already recovered the footage. "Ye Fei, you sure have been up to a lot last night. I think you can really help us here at the police station. You can definitely solve a lot of cases with your investigative abilities."

"Do you think it would be appropriate for a terrorist to advise the police?" he laughed.

Murong didn't say anything. She took them to an empty office, where Ye Fei connected the hard drive to the computer.

They were a little nervous as they watched the computer boot up. One of the folders on this drive was going to be full of videos of Lin Qingwan.
