Chapter 14
"Er Ge……. Er Ge has come back?" Li Hao emotionally said. From a young age, he and Ye Qian’s relations.h.i.+p was very good, but also it was because of him that Ye Qian needed to leave the place where he was born. As a result all this time he thought he had harmed Ye Qian, otherwise Ye Qian could have now had a good future.
"He just came back yesterday only to be arrested by the police officers." Lao Die said sorrowfully.
"Lao Die, don’t worry, you don’t need to say anymore, I can still rescue Er Ge." Li Hao said."
"After hearing you say this, I have nothing to worry about." Lao Die said.
After hanging up the phone, Li Hao didn’t even hesitate and immediately connected to the phone number of the sub bureau that arrested Ye Qian. It was already ten o'clock at night, the police officer at the sub-bureau already finished work and only a few night s.h.i.+ft police were still up. When they picked up Li Hao’s call, they couldn’t help but be slightly alarmed. This was his own immediate superior. Li Hao deliberately first asked some unrelated questions, then he proceeded to change the topic towards Ye Qian and said "I heard that today you guys apprehended a criminal by the name of Ye Qian, right?"
The police on duty was staring blankly. He couldn’t understand why the Ou Public Security Bureau would suddenly ask about that criminal. Could this guy be Ye Qian’s relative or friend? He did not dare hesitate and promptly replied: "Chief Hui, indeed such a thing did happen. We received a report this morning about a person in Qian Jiang Hua Yuan committing a violent crime. By the afternoon the suspect, Ye Qian, was apprehended by Captain w.a.n.g and brought to the hospital.
"Who reported the case?" Li HAo asked
"The case was reported by the victim himself. It is the boss of a coal mine in Shan Xi city. The victim suffered damage at his own home. The crime was committed in the the victim’s home. Based on the victim’s account, the suspect directly burst into his house with the intention of extorting money but failed to get any. Then, he resorted to committing serious injury to him." The officer on duty replied.
Li Hao thought about this. They haven’t seen each other in a long time but he still understood Ye Qian. Ye Qian was not the type of person to extort a person for money with no good reason and does such a foolish crime. Who would charge into a person’s home to extort money, and when that failed, harm the person? How can such a person exist? Based on the circ.u.mstances, it looked like the behind this case certainly were other reasons. "Where is the suspect right now?" Li Hao replied.
"Sent to the detention center". The officer replied.
After a silent pause, Li HAo said: "Very well,
"Yes, chief!" The officer promptly replied. After Li HAo put the phone down, the officer felt very puzzled, he didn’t understand what the phone call was for. If he knew Ye Qian and Ye Qian was under his protection, at the very least wouldn’t he order for him to be properly cared for?
Just when the phone was put down, Lao Die called again. Li Hao picked up the call in a hurry. "Lao San ah, what’s up?" Lao Die asked with concern.
"Lao Die, I just asked about him, Er Ge deliberately exhorted and harmed a person, the person he harmed is a boss who came to invest in the city.
"That’s rubbish. Xiao er would not extort a person for no reason, he must have been framed." Lao Die said with certainty.
"That’s also what I thought. This case still has many suspicious points. But, Er Ge most likely really did physically harm that person. Lao Die, would you know who would carry such a big grudge on Er Ge?" Li Hao asked.
"Your Er Ge left the house 8 years ago, and just came home today, how can he have any hateful relations with anybody." Lao Die answered. After a silent pause, Lao Die repliedL "Right, yesterday I was harmed by somebody and admitted to the hospital, most likely the person Xiao er attacked is that same person."
"Lao Die, are you alright?" Li Hao asked anxiously.
"I’m alright." Lao Die replied. "Lao San, no matter what, you must find a way to save Xiao Er."
"The World Expo is happening very soon, the city’s various safety measures are much stricter, Er Ge’s situation is a little difficult." Li Hao replied after a short pause. "But Lao Die do not worry, I will surely get Er Ge out of police department safely."
"Good, good." Lao Die replied.
The morning of the second day, Li Hao immediately made his way to the hospital. He only needed to let the victim drop charges then Ye Qian will be alright.
After getting the room number of Zeng Da Fu from the nurse, Li Hao directly entered the room with a present in his hand.
Seeing the police uniform on Li HAo, Zeng Da Fu stared blankly at him. Seeing that on Li HAo shoulder were three major star, the sign of a first cla.s.s police officer, Zeng Da Fu was puzzled.
"Are you Mr. Zeng Da Fu?" Li Hao respectfully asked.
"Yes, Yes I am. May I ask the Chief officer what matters do you have here?" Zeng Da Fu flatteringly asked. Although he was worth millions, this place wasn’t his turf. Furthermore, the person was a first rank officer, he did not dare to be even the least bit arrogant in front of him.
"Hehe, nothing is the matter. I just came to visit." Li Hao said as he went into the room and casually placed the present on the table and said "How are you? You were not harmed very badly were you?"
A first cla.s.s police officer visited him without reason, he felt very incredulous. He did not understand Li Hao’s purpose for coming, Zeng Da Fu respectfully replied "I’m fine. I’ve recovered well."
"Boss Zeng has come to this city to invest, but was injured and hospitalised, it is my fault that I did not do my work properly. I represent the police officers from the Ministry of Public Security to say our apology for this situation." Li HAo said.
"No, senior officer, I do not deserve this good fortune, I trust that your leaders.h.i.+p will bring me justice." Zeng Da Fu replied.
Li Hao was silent for a while, then said "Boss Zeng, I came here today because, one, to pay you a visit, and two, I have a favour to ask of you Boss Zeng."
"If senior officer has some concern please say it. If it is within my ability I will do it." Zeng Da Fu replied.
"It is Boss Zeng that has said this, I will be direct with you." Li HAo said, " Yesterday the person that harmed Boss Zeng is my second brother, so I was thinking that Boss Zeng can revoke the charges on him. I know that Boss Zeng will certainly feel embarra.s.sed, but I still hope Boss Zeng can tackle this difficult task, as for the cost of your medical expenses I can compensate you for it."
