Chapter 200 First, let's get out of this awful place as quickly as possible.
Qin Yu clutched his aching arm, his eyes blazing with fury: "Yu Yuetong, you're asking for it!"
"You're not asking for death, you're just asking for it!" She was still panting, but she stubbornly continued to argue, "You, Qin Yu, with your illustrious reputation, are going to fall for a corporate slave like me? Isn't that an invincible joke?"
Just as she was shouting to distract Qin Yu, Qin Reng finally found his chance. He flipped backward, as agile as a well-trained SWAT officer, and quickly untied the straps on his shoulders. Then, he rushed to Yu Yuetong's side in three quick steps, grabbed her wrist without a word, and pulled her behind him.
"How can you be so argumentative?" He looked down at her, his voice soft but tinged with an inexplicable anxiety. "They're armed with knives, and you're just talking. What if they actually try to kill you?"
"Cut me?" Yu Yuetong gasped for breath, hastily wiping the cold sweat from her forehead with her sleeve. "They're being so unreasonable! Why don't you protect me? What if I'm a god of wealth?"
Qin Reng almost rolled his eyes. But when he glanced at her flushed face and slightly trembling shoulders, he couldn't bring himself to utter another sarcastic remark. He turned his head, staring at Qin Yu with hostility, and uttered a low, threatening tone: "Try touching her again."
"You think I wouldn't dare?" Qin Yu gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with anger. But just then, a beam of light suddenly filled the warehouse, and a group of uniformed police officers filed in.
Qin Yu froze completely. His men who had run away were all herded back in like ducks, their faces contorted with rage and their hands gripping the steel pipes loosely, a stark reminder of their vulnerability.
Yu Yuetong was shielded behind Qin Reng, so she couldn't see his expression. But she boldly guessed that since he was holding her hand so tightly, he must be a stubborn but soft-hearted CEO who actually loves women, right?
She tugged at Qin Reng's sleeve and whispered, "Dude, who are these cops after? Do we have a chance to run away now?"
Qin Reng's lips tightened, and he stared at her for three seconds before answering, "What are you standing there for? Is now the time to run?"
Yu Yuetong took a step and started to run, but a cold shout came from behind her: "Stop!"
The roar startled her, causing her to pull her leg back. She and Qin Reng turned their heads simultaneously and saw a middle-aged policeman wearing sunglasses walking over, giving them a cold look: "Are you two hiding something from us?"
"Huh? I kept it from you?" Yu Yuetong's eyes darted around, her mind racing. "I'm not hiding it from you. I've never been good at lying since I was little, so I've told you everything I can. It's lucky that Mr. Qin and I were able to escape. You can't stop me now, because I'm just fast!"
Qin Reng, who was standing beside him, looked troubled and finally covered his face and sighed softly, "I've lost all face."
The police officer's scrutinizing gaze sent a chill down Yu Yuetong's spine. She was a complete liar, and now she was facing a life-or-death situation with someone as sharp-tongued as Qin Reng—it was an absolute challenge. She secretly tugged at Qin Reng's sleeve and whispered, "Dude, what do we do now? Want you to say something?"
Qin Reng glanced down at her, a look of "I really brought this on myself," then nodded and smiled apologetically at the police officer: "Officer, this is a misunderstanding. We were just here looking for some information when we happened to run into this group of thugs. As you can see, this messy scene clearly shows that we were coerced by them, and the victim's identity is 100% credible."
Yu Yuetong was almost shocked by Qin Reng's words. She thought to herself, "This guy isn't that thick-skinned. How can he lie so smoothly?" Sure enough, the CEO's skill points were all put into his smooth talk and aura. Max level, no explanation needed.
Unfortunately, the policeman's face clearly said, "I'm protesting too much." He gripped the notebook in his hand, adjusted the frame of his sunglasses, and said in a cold voice, "Oh? So, these thugs and their leader Qin Yu threatened you, threatening you with steel pipes while forcing you into dangerous situations, is that right?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yu Yuetong quickly echoed, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice. "We were just passing by when we were arrested! Look at this situation! This steel pipe! This pungent stench! Officer, we're so wronged we can hardly breathe!"
The policeman remained silent, his gaze shifting increasingly strangely between the two men. Qin Reng's brow twitched; this feeling of being stared at like a monkey was truly unsettling. He was never patient; he might tolerate polite words once, but a second time was out of the question.
His face darkened, and he took a step closer: "What's wrong? If you don't believe me, just say so. You're ignoring the signs of a struggle at the scene and insisting on suspecting us? With that kind of logic, can't I just find some excuse to accuse you of dereliction of duty?"
Yu Yuetong was completely dumbfounded. She clicked her tongue in amazement. Not only had Qin Reng not changed his domineering CEO nature, but he also dared to directly confront the police. He was simply a madman living in the sky. She quickly tugged at his sleeve and whispered a reminder: "Brother, calm down. This person is a public official. We can't afford to offend him."
Upon hearing this, Qin Reng glanced at her, his eyes filled with a sense of "I could have tolerated it before, but now I can't." Just as he was about to add fuel to the fire, the police's walkie-talkie suddenly rang.
His expression changed, and he held the walkie-talkie close to his ear for a few seconds. Then his expression softened slightly, but his eyes remained fixed on Qin Reng and the other man: "Someone here has vouched for your identities, so you are temporarily cleared of suspicion. However, don't forget to report the situation to the police station later, otherwise we can reopen the investigation at any time."
Yu Yuetong almost burst into tears of gratitude. The words "there is a guarantor" were like heavenly music to her ears. But then she thought about it again. She and Qin Reng had little connection in the world, and the Qin family was a cesspool. Who would step in to help at this crucial moment?
She was about to probe when Qin Reng, seemingly less curious than she was, pulled her away and whispered, "Don't ask me about a guarantor. Let's get out of this hellhole as soon as possible. If we're any later, we'll probably be locked up in jail for a few days."
Yu Yuetong had no choice but to grit her teeth and accept her fate. But she hadn't taken more than a few steps when she casually turned her head and saw Mo Qingcheng standing a few meters away, backlit.
She froze instantly, standing rooted to the spot, alarm bells ringing in her head. After a long pause, she managed to stammer, "Damn, what does this mean? Why is he here? And why is he the one vouching for me?"
"Who?" Qin Reng paused, turning around to follow her gaze. When he saw the person's face clearly, his brows furrowed like a twisted rope: "Mo Qingcheng? You told me before that he was abroad, how come he suddenly came back?"
Qin Reng's tone was undisguisedly cold, with a hint of jealousy. After all, every time Mo Qingcheng was mentioned, this man not only relentlessly pursued Yue Tong, but also frequently boasted about their past relationship, making him utterly repulsive.
