Chapter 408 The Living Yama's Name is Well-Deserved
Lan Ying remained firm, stating, "Whether it's a frame-up or not, we'll find out after we investigate."
Manager Yan smiled ingratiatingly, "Officer, it's not yet time for work, the employees are all still resting, there really isn't a girl named Huang Xiaolan here."
"Are you trying to obstruct the police investigation?"
Lan Ying didn't stand on ceremony. Anyway, with Qi Tongwei backing her up, this nightclub might actually be Chen Wensheng's property. It would be a good thing to investigate.
"What a boastful tone!"
Chen Daju, smoking a cigar, led seven or eight of his henchmen and charged over menacingly.
"My nightclub isn't something just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can investigate."
Lan Ying remained unfazed. "Now someone has reported that Haojue Nightclub is connected to Huang Xiaolan's disappearance. You're the person in charge, aren't you?"
Chen Daju was willing to release the people, but he didn't intend to give the police a friendly welcome. The provincial police's interference directly cost him a cash cow.
"If you have evidence, produce it. Even the police can't make baseless accusations."
Lan Ying has no evidence, but if a beautiful young girl in the prime of her life were really sold to a nightclub, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Cooperating with the police investigation is every citizen's duty. Let me give you a brief explanation of the law."
Chen Daju laughed loudly, "Don't think you're so great just because you're wearing a police uniform. If you offend me, I can make you work as a hostess at a nightclub."
Lan Ying felt extremely humiliated and clenched her fists, really wanting to punch him.
"Verbal insults against police officers are also illegal. Are you sure you're trying to obstruct law enforcement today?"
Chen Daju exhaled a puff of smoke, his face extremely arrogant. If that bastard Qi Tongwei came, he might be a little worried, but what was there to be afraid of with just a policewoman?
"What's your name? Why are you a policeman earning only a few hundred yuan a month? Come work for me. With your looks, you could easily make tens of thousands of yuan a month."
What the hell did you say?
The police officers were filled with righteous indignation. To humiliate a woman like Lan Ying was to slap them, the men, in the face.
With their boss backing them up, the security guards became even more emboldened and directly mocked the police, "Damn it, are they deaf? A bunch of grown men needing a woman to stand up for them, how embarrassing!"
"Fuck your mother, I'll kill you!"
Lan Ying quickly stopped the impulsive police officer. It would be unwise to start a fight, since there was no search warrant and they might be falsely accused.
The security guard wasn't going to back down either. "Come on, you idiot, if you don't kill me, you're a fucking coward!"
"Don't act impulsively, we are police officers, not thugs."
Lan Ying loudly rebuked the police officers who were about to attack her. The police officers' faces were full of anger, feeling incredibly frustrated.
Chen Daju sneered, "Officer, my brothers are all good people who hate evil, not some petty thugs. I demand that you apologize immediately."
Lan Ying now felt the helplessness of not having Qi Tongwei leading the team. If she ordered a forced search, she might face suspension and self-reflection.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang. It was Qi Tongwei calling, "Lan Ying, how's the investigation going?"
Lan Ying felt ashamed, but she still told the truth; concealing and escaping were the real cowardice.
"Qi Zhi, the other party is not cooperating and is even mocking us."
Qi Tongwei knew it wouldn't go so smoothly. "Give the phone to the nightclub manager."
"Yes, Qizhi."
Lan Ying, suppressing her anger, handed over the phone, saying, "Our Qi branch wants to speak with you."
Chen Daju took it; he couldn't possibly be too embarrassed to answer a single phone call.
Who is it?
"I am your grandfather"
Qi Tongwei was furious. How dare they obstruct the police from enforcing the law? They must have a death wish.
Chen Daju was so angry he almost smashed the phone. "You fucking dare say that again?"
Qi Tongwei didn't bother with pleasantries. "I'm Qi Tongwei from the provincial department. No matter who you are, you either cooperate with the police investigation now, or wait until I get here and shut down your nightclub."
Speaking to him with such arrogance, if it were anyone else, Chen Daju would have buried him alive. But Qi Tongwei, the living devil, has a reputation that he can shut down the nightclub for a few days without any problem. In that case, he would have to bear the wrath of Chen Wensheng.
Chen Daju is now in a very difficult position. Chen Wensheng has already given the order to release him, so he must release him, thinking he can humiliate the police. However, Qi Tongwei is a bastard who is completely unreasonable and even more vicious than the underworld.
"I'm waiting for you."
After Chen Daju finished speaking, he tossed the phone to Lan Ying, who quickly caught it. She knew she had to ask for help, so she said, "Chief Qi, why don't you come over here?"
"I understand, I'll be right there."
Lan Ying, feigning superiority, deliberately spoke loudly, "Yes, Qi Zhi, we're waiting for you."
Manager Yan noticed that Chen Daju's expression was off. It seemed that the person on the phone was not simple. Since that was the case, his elder brother couldn't lose face, so he had to step in and smooth things over.
"Brother Ju, I suddenly remembered that a female server named Huang Lan came a couple of days ago. I wonder if she's the Huang Xiaolan the officer is looking for? Should I go and call her over so the officer can take a look?"
Chen Daju instantly understood. He did need a way out, but he couldn't afford to embarrass his elder brother.
"Shut the fuck up, who the hell are you to talk here?"
Manager Yan smiled and said, "Brother Ju, don't be angry. We're opening soon, and several city leaders are coming to sing. We can't afford to offend them."
Chen Daju immediately flew into a rage, "Why the hell didn't you say so earlier? You've delayed my business. You'll regret this! Go and call that Huang Lan out right now!"
"Yes, Brother Ju, it's all my fault."
Manager Yan hurriedly ran to find someone, who was just like a chief eunuch from the imperial palace.
Lan Ying watched their performance quietly. It seemed that Qi Tongwei's name was indeed effective; the name "Living Yama" was well-deserved.
A short while later, Manager Yan led a frightened Huang Xiaolan out. Upon seeing the police officers in uniform, she almost burst into tears, finally able to go home safely.
"Officer, take a look, is this the person you're looking for?"
Lan Ying walked over to Huang Xiaolan and saw the bruises on her face. It was clear that she had been beaten, and she looked so terrified that she seemed about to faint at any moment.
"Don't be afraid, we are police officers from the provincial department. Isn't Huang Dahai your brother?"
Huang Xiaolan stammered nervously, "Yes, yes, it's my brother."
Lan Ying held Huang Xiaolan's shoulder, seeing her fearful expression, she must have suffered a lot of humiliation. In a place like a nightclub, when a beautiful girl enters, she either has to obey or suffer torture before obeying.
"Your brother reported to the police that a monk named Yuanhui abducted you. What exactly happened these past two days? Don't be afraid, tell the truth, and the police will help you."
Huang Xiaolan glanced at Chen Daju, this devil, and trembled with fear. Now her brother and nephew's lives were in her hands, and she dared not tell the police the truth.
"Officer, this must be a misunderstanding. Huang Lan came to apply for a waitress job a couple of days ago, saying she had a fight with her family. I kindly gave her a job, Huang Lan, you can't repay kindness with enmity."
Manager Yan quickly jumped in, having already prepared his explanation: as long as Huang Xiaolan didn't turn against him, the police wouldn't be able to find anything.
"Shut up, I didn't ask you."
Lan Ying immediately sensed the insincerity in Huang Xiaolan's words; it seemed Huang Xiaolan had been threatened. "Huang Xiaolan, don't be afraid. Tell me, whoever hurts you will be punished by law."
