Wang Fuxing was scolded by Ji Yutao until he was stunned, and said sowhat aggrievedly, "Chairman Ji, this kid..."
Ji Yutao imdiately cut him off and scolded, "It's Mr. Li, not kid, can't you speak properly? If you can't, get out!"
Wang Fuxing opened his mouth, not daring to speak carelessly anymore, he saw that Li Xiaoyao was no ordinary person; even Ji Yutao was extrely respectful towards him, so he chose to keep quiet, which was the wiser option.
Zhu Haishan also didn't dare to speak. He originally thought Li Xiaoyao was just a bodyguard, albeit one with a high annual salary, but at the end of the day, he was still just a bodyguard.
But now it seed that wasn't the case.
"Mr. Li, let help you take off the handcuffs first," Ji Yutao said seeing that Li Xiaoyao wasn't willing to leave, trying to compromise.
Li Xiaoyao still maintained his indifferent tone, "No need, it's quite fine this way."
Ji Yutao was nearly in tears, thinking, why would such an important person linger here for no reason? And handcuffed at that, wasn't this making it difficult for ?
Ji Yutao, having weathered many storms, contemplated and then had a rough guess as to why Li Xiaoyao was reluctant to leave.
Ji Yutao looked at Wang Fuxing and asked, "Why was Mr. Li arrested?"
Wang Fuxing replied cautiously, "Soone reported that Mr. Li was illegally detaining..."
Ji Yutao asked impassively, "Is there evidence?"
Where would Wang Fuxing dare to assert there was evidence? In this situation, he wouldn't dare say Li Xiaoyao was guilty. Stay tuned for updates on empire
Wang Fuxing shook his head repeatedly, "No evidence, no evidence."
"Hmph!" Ji Yutao asked sternly, "Why arrest soone without evidence?"
"I..."
Wang Fuxing stamred on without being able to think of an excuse.
Ji Yutao continued asking, "Who is Liang Zhengdao?"
"Ah!" Wang Fuxing was startled, his heart imdiately flustered, faced with Ji Yutao's interrogative gaze, he knew he couldn't hide it anymore and could only confess, "He's the chairman of a Muze City enterprise, Liang Zhengdao, his father is the forr Magistrate of Muze City."
Ji Yutao snorted, "What does Liang Zhengdao have to do with this matter?"
Wang Fuxing evaded the important points and said lightly, "It was Liang Zhengdao who called the police."
"Damn it!"
Ji Yutao angrily smacked the table and cursed, "You arrested soone without any evidence?"
Wang Fuxing jumped in fright and said, "I'm not clear about this matter, it's all done by the subordinates, I've just found out..."
Ji Yutao instructed, "Call Liang Zhengdao, no matter where he is, make him co here now, imdiately."
"Yes, yes." Wang Fuxing didn't dare to hesitate at all, imdiately taking out his phone to call Liang Zhengdao.
Liang Zhengdao, thinking that Wang Fuxing was calling to bring good news, lounged on the sofa with a young woman lying in his arms.
"Mm, Old Wang," Liang Zhengdao inquired leisurely, still unaware that he had offended an important figure.
Wang Fuxing scolded on the spot, "Liang Zhengdao, where are you? Hurry up and get over here, Chairman Ji wants to see you!"
Liang Zhengdao, initially stunned by Wang Fuxing's scolding and about to retort, shivered when he heard the na Chairman Ji and asked, "Which Chairman Ji?"
"Who else could it be? The top man!"
Liang Zhengdao imdiately got up from the sofa and said, "What does Chairman Ji want with ?"
"Co over and you'll find out." Wang Fuxing hung up after speaking.
Liang Zhengdao frowned as he looked at the busy signal on the phone, sowhat at a loss.
Based on Wang Fuxing's tone, the matter Ji Yutao had to discuss with him was definitely not going to be pleasant.
But he couldn't simply choose not to go.
```
After hesitating for a few seconds, Wang Fuxing went out with an uneasy heart.
In the interrogation room, Ji Yutao and Li Xiaoyao sat facing each other, occasionally exchanging a few words, but no matter what topic he brought up, Li Xiaoyao seed very uninterested.
Ji Yutao suddenly rembered that the other night, when Xiao Ya ntioned the Hundred-year Wild Ginseng, Li Xiaoyao had shown a lot of interest.
Perhaps he could start from there.
Ji Yutao said, "Mr. Li, Xiao Ya told you have quite so understanding of dicinal herbs?"
"Hmm, I know a little," Li Xiaoyao glanced at him. With just that look, he guessed what Chairman Ji was hinting at.
Ji Yutao chuckled and said, "You see, so ti ago, my father was ill, and I had so dicinal herbs picked from the deep mountains. Now that my father has recovered, there are still many herbs left unused. If Mr. Li is interested in dicinal herbs, I'll send them over to you later. Otherwise, it would be a waste to let them sit."
Li Xiaoyao looked at him and did not speak right away.
By saying this, Ji Yutao was obviously trying to establish a connection with him using dicinal herbs, while Li Xiaoyao was weighing in his mind whether it would be worth owing Ji Yutao a favor for the sake of these herbs.
Ji Yutao also felt so trepidation, as he was completely unable to discern the thoughts of a high-level individual like Li Xiaoyao.
After a long pause, Li Xiaoyao asked, "What kind of dicinal herbs do you have?"
Ji Yutao hurriedly said, "Nothing special, just a couple of wild ginsengs. I've had soone appraise them—one is about a hundred years old, and the other is two hundred years old. There's also an eighty-year-old Lingzhi."
Li Xiaoyao was a bit surprised, not expecting Ji Yutao to have such a rich stash.
Li Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Hmm, then send them to later."
Hearing Li Xiaoyao's agreent, Ji Yutao finally let out a sigh of relief.
By accepting the dicinal herbs, Li Xiaoyao was indicating that if Ji Yutao ever had a request in the future, as long as it wasn't too excessive, Li Xiaoyao would not refuse.
This trip was not in vain.
Ji Yutao was very grateful to Xiao Ya in his heart; if it wasn't for her giving him this information, he wouldn't have had this opportunity.
And Zhu Haishan, who stood by their side, only grew more puzzled as he listened to their conversation.
Just who exactly was this Li Xiaoyao, and how many secrets did he harbor?
Why did Ji Yutao treat him with such respect, and just who was he?
No matter how hard Zhu Haishan racked his brains, he could never guess Li Xiaoyao's true identity.
More than ten minutes later, Wang Fuxing's phone rang.
"Where are you?" Wang Fuxing asked in a lowered voice.
"I'm here, right at the door."
"Okay, wait there." After hanging up the phone, Wang Fuxing approached and asked, "Chairman Ji, Liang Zhengdao is here."
Ji Yutao humd in acknowledgnt, looked at Li Xiaoyao, and asked, "Mr. Li, your thoughts?"
Li Xiaoyao replied, "Let him co in, I just happen to have sothing to talk to him about."
Then he turned to Zhu Haishan and said, "You can go out."
Zhu Haishan wanted to speak, but with Ji Yutao beside him, he had to swallow back his words.
Wang Fuxing went out and saw Liang Zhengdao outside the door, fraught with unease and indecision.
When Liang Zhengdao saw Wang Fuxing, he hurried over and asked, "What does that person want with ?"
Wang Fuxing looked at him with pity and said, "Do you have any idea who Li Xiaoyao is?"
"Huh?" Liang Zhengdao was puzzled, not understanding why Wang Fuxing would suddenly ask such an unrelated question.
