Chapter 448: Chapter 455: Sister-in-law, it’s all our fault
Li Yifei and the others were taken to the police car. With their skills, the cops definitely couldn’t handle them, but they couldn’t just fight against the police either, or they would attract too much attention.
Li Yifei and his group were brought to the sub-bureau. However, quite a lot of people had been caught, and they hadn’t been recorded for testimony yet. They were all locked in a room with Zheng Mingrui and his company.
"Hey, boss, this is your territory. You handle it," said Zheng Mingrui with a smirk, smoking a cigarette.
Li Yifei said nonchalantly, "Just pay the fine."
With a mischievous grin, Zheng Mingrui said, "Paying a fine is fine for a few of us, but you, being from Mile City, will probably have to have your wife co to pick you up."
At that, Li Yifei’s face darkened instantly. What Zheng Mingrui said was indeed the police’s usual tactic after catching soone soliciting. If he didn’t ask his wife to co, wouldn’t he have to call Xu Yingying? That would really be a huge loss of face.
"Hurry and get soone to bail us out. Look at you, inviting us out and even getting caught by the police, how embarrassing for you," Zheng Mingrui kept teasing Li Yifei.
Li Yifei rolled his eyes and quickly took out his phone to call He Fangqing. Now was the perfect ti for her to bail them out.
But He Fangqing’s phone rang for a long ti without an answer. Li Yifei thought about it, he definitely couldn’t call Xu Yingying or Xu Shanshan, nor ng Xiaofei. Even Su ngxin was not an option, as that would be even more embarrassing.
Calling Su Yiyi wouldn’t upset her, but it would undoubtedly diminish his image in her eyes, so that was also out of the question.
Then there was Lin Qiong. If that girl saw him caught by the police for solicitation, she would mock him for the rest of his life, so that was a no-go as well.
And Ye Yunzhu... let’s not even go there. She would freak out if she had to deal with this situation.
Ning Xin’er... better not. If it fell into her hands, there would be endless trouble afterwards.
In the end, it seed there was only one person he could turn to, and that was Michelle. This girl was a nice girl, and Li Yifei had always hated the idea of hurting her, yet she had always been deeply in love with him, even after he was married, and that didn’t change. It was obvious from the way Michelle looked at him normally. Asking her to help him out this ti could also change her impression of him, and maybe then she would start to dislike him, so she wouldn’t think about him anymore.
Thinking it over, Michelle really was the best choice. Li Yifei imdiately dialed Michelle’s number.
"Brother Li, how co you’re calling ?" Michelle’s surprised voice ca through as soon as the call connected.
"Heh, Michelle, I got caught by the police, and I need you to bail
out. Also, bring so extra cash. I’ve got four friends here too, and they all need money to get bailed out."
"What happened?" Michelle suddenly cried out in alarm.
"We... were caught in a sauna bath."
Even though Li Yifei didn’t spell it out, Michelle fully understood, and after a gasp, it took her a while to timidly say, "Brother Li, how... how could you do this?"
Li Yifei said impatiently, "I don’t have ti to explain now, just co and bail
out quickly. Rember to bring more money."
Michelle agreed, then asked for the location before hanging up.
"Boss, who’s this Michelle?" Zheng Mingrui poked Li Yifei.
"My coworker."
"No way, you’re so blunt with just a coworker. She must be your chick."
"She’s not, but you guys better not get any ideas about her."
"Why would we? She’s your woman, boss."
In less than twenty minutes, Michelle arrived and paid a fine of three thousand yuan per person, bailing out all five of them.
The mont Zheng Mingrui and the others saw Michelle, they were secretly impressed with Li Yifei. They had seen many beautiful won, but Michelle seed quite pure and innocent, and that made them quite envious.
Michelle had never t Zheng Mingrui and his group, and was a bit puzzled in her mind. However, she suspected they were Li Yifei’s clients whom he had accompanied for business entertainnt.
Pulling Li Yifei aside, Michelle whispered, "Brother Li, how could you be so careless."
Li Yifei thought Michelle must be very upset, but to his surprise, she actually spoke to him in a slightly reproachful tone. He looked at Michelle in amazent and said, "Michelle, I just got busted for soliciting."
Michelle’s face turned red as she chided, "I know it’s not your fault. I’ve already asked the police. They said you were just talking with that lady and didn’t actually... do that thing."
"I’m dizzy, they haven’t even taken my statent yet. How co they believe what that lady said first?" Li Yifei was also sowhat puzzled.
"Hehe, you wouldn’t know this, but I have a relative here. He’s the one responsible for taking the lady’s statent. That woman insisted that you didn’t touch her, and normally, a lady like her wouldn’t deny it, because they get fined anyway, and most of them are from sauna baths, so they aren’t afraid at all. For her to say that, it must be true."
Li Yifei’s face darkened as he rubbed his nose and said, "I didn’t have ti... I wanted to create so ambiance first."
"Stop it, stop talking nonsense. You have a wife like President Xu; how could you be interested in a woman like that? I don’t believe you would co here to fool around."
Li Yifei was sowhat at a loss for words. He had hoped to use this opportunity to change Michelle’s opinion of him, but who knew that he would run into Michelle’s relative here. He could only give a wry smile and said, "Alright, don’t ntion seeing
here when you get back. Now, I’m going to withdraw so money to pay you back."
"No rush, I’m not in need of money right now."
"Hehe, I still have to pay you back what I owe. Let’s go." Li Yifei took Michelle and headed over to the four brothers and said, "You guys go back to the hotel first; I’ll take her ho."
Zheng Mingrui paid no attention to Li Yifei but turned to look at Michelle. He sighed heavily, looking utterly remorseful, and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, I’m really sorry. We hadn’t seen the boss for a long ti, so we drank too much upon eting, and insisted on dragging the boss out for so fun. The boss kept refusing, but we were so excited, we forcibly took him out, leading to this ss. We guarantee, the boss didn’t an to do this, his feelings for you are absolutely genuine, without a single lie. If you want to be angry, take it out on the four of us, but please don’t be mad at our boss."
Tian Dong imdiately chid in, "Sister-in-law, while we were dragging the boss out, he kept saying he couldn’t do anything to betray you. Ah, it was all our fault, forcing the boss to make a mistake. If you’re upset, feel free to vent it on us."
Zhao Qiang slapped his chest in anguish and said, "Sister-in-law, if you look up to our boss, that’s truly the blessing from his past eight generations. We’re such bastards, the boss having such a beautiful wife and we still took him out to misbehave. We’ve wronged you."
Zhao Qing wiped his eyes, already filled with tears, and choked up, "Sister-in-law, you mustn’t divorce our boss, I beg you, I’ll even kneel if I have to!" With that, he actually began to bend over, seeming to genuinely want to kneel to Michelle.
Michelle was dumbstruck by what she’d heard. These four n were actually calling her sister-in-law, which implied she was Li Yifei’s wife. This... was it a misunderstanding, or sothing Li Yifei had said? But when she saw Zhao Qing about to kneel, she was suddenly scared and hurriedly grabbed Zhao Qing, urgently saying, "Don’t, don’t... I’m... I’m not angry."
Zhao Qing clutched Michelle’s arm, excitedly saying, "Sister-in-law, you’re really not angry? You can’t lie to us, and then turn around and be mad at our boss. We’d never be able to atone for our guilt."
"No! No! I’m really not angry!" Michelle was taken aback by Zhao Qing.
"Get lost!" Li Yifei kicked Zhao Qing away and said to Michelle, "Let’s go, don’t mind them."
"Sister-in-law, take care! When you’ve straightened out our boss, we’ll all co apologize to you together," the four young n shouted after them.
Li Yifei took Michelle to a taxi, and she was still in a daze for a while, wanting to ask Li Yifei what all this was about. But because the taxi driver was there, she held back. However, once they got out of the car, she couldn’t hold it in any longer. With a mix of shyness and a bit of sweetness, she said, "Brother Li, who are those people? Why do they call you boss, and call ... "
Li Yifei coughed lightly and explained, "They are my forr comrades-in-arms. They ca to see
this ti, so I took them out for fun."
Of course, what Michelle cared most about wasn’t that. Blushing, she looked at Li Yifei with hope in her eyes and stamred softly, "Oh, then why... why do they call
that?"
Seeing Michelle like this, Li Yifei knew things were getting ssier and explained, "To get us out of there, I naturally had to get my wife to vouch for us. But Yingying and I have so... issues right now, so I couldn’t ask her. That’s why I had to ask you to pretend for a bit."
"No wonder they called
that." Michelle felt sweet inside. Li Yifei actually had her pretend to be his wife. It was a nice feeling, but when she heard about the issues between Li Yifei and Xu Yingying, she was suddenly shocked and said, "What’s wrong with you guys?"
"Hehe, it’s complicated, just so problems. I won’t go to the office or turn on my phone these days. If there’s anything, we’ll talk when I get back."
"Ah! It’s that serious? Is it because of Ning Xin’er?" Michelle got excited and grabbed Li Yifei’s hand.
"Yes, I’ve got another son now. Isn’t that serious enough?"
Michelle bit her lip but gently shook her head, saying softly, "If it were , I would definitely forgive you."
Li Yifei laughed softly and said, "Yingying isn’t you. I need to go." He hailed a taxi, opened the door, and was about to get in.
"Brother Li, no matter when, I will... wait for you!"
Li Yifei paused, simply waving his hand before getting into the car.
