Lin Feng and Tang Wan were both somewhat surprised by this statement.
Tang Wan, in particular, reminded him, "Captain Xia, if you suspect Zheng Bowen is guilty, then I think it's a bit irrational for you to come to his place alone today!"
"Why? Are you trying to protect him?"
Xia Xue frowned, knowing there were rumors about Tang Wan and Zheng Bowen.
"Of course not. I just think Zheng Bowen is always cautious in his dealings. Even if he committed a crime, he would handle it flawlessly."
"The most crucial point is, Zheng Bowen is not as kind and benevolent as he appears on the surface!"
Tang Wan smiled, her last sentence a clear warning to Xia Xue.
"Miss Tang, I understand what you mean. You're saying I can't control Zheng Bowen, right? Then I'll just see if this guy can truly cover the sky with one hand!"
As Xia Xue spoke, she had already changed her clothes and quietly pushed the door open.
Since this was Zheng Bowen's former office building, it was bound to contain evidence of his crimes.
As long as she found this evidence, she wouldn't be afraid of failing to apprehend Zheng Bowen.
At this moment, in the building's security room, Zheng Bowen stared intently at the surveillance footage.
Just as he expected, Xia Xue was targeting him this time!
"Brother-in-law, what does Xia Xue mean? Did you do something to offend her?"
Yang Ming looked at Zheng Bowen, whose expression was grim, and began to suspect if Zheng Bowen had some weakness in Xia Xue's hands.
"Ming, I'll tell you everything I should tell you, but some things, you shouldn't ask about!"
"You just need to remember, you treat me as your real brother-in-law, and I treat you as my real brother. Whenever you asked for my help, did I ever not give my all!"
Zheng Bowen spoke with genuine emotion, his words deeply touching.
"Brother-in-law, I remember your help. I wouldn't be where I am today without your financial support!"
Yang Ming couldn't help but smile.
The Ming Group always prioritized connections and financial resources. To climb the ranks, he had secured a lot of funding for the Ming Group over the years.
Much of that money came from Zheng Bowen.
Furthermore, his position as captain of the Ming Group was also due to Zheng Bowen's maneuvering.
In essence, he owed Zheng Bowen more than a little.
"Brother-in-law, I don't care what you've done, but I beg you not to harm Xiao Xue. You must promise me!"
Yang Ming was silent for a moment, his tone pleading.
"Don't worry, I only target those who oppose me. As long as Xia Xue doesn't relentlessly pursue me, I won't harm her."
Zheng Bowen patted Yang Ming's shoulder, then took out his walkie-talkie and instructed, "Ah Kun, clean up my office immediately. Don't leave anything that could be detrimental to me!"
Upon receiving Zheng Bowen's instructions, Ah Kun, along with several subordinates, immediately got busy.
Meanwhile, Xia Xue was also quickly searching from room to room, but everything was under Zheng Bowen's control.
Xia Xue searched for a long time but found no useful clues.
She went to Zheng Bowen's office and searched for a long time, all in vain.
"Something's wrong. This office has already been tampered with!"
Xia Xue noticed traces of someone having searched the place. She then began looking for cameras in the office.
Indeed, inside a desk lamp, she discovered a pinhole camera.
"Good job, Zheng Bowen. It seems you were aware of this long ago. But don't celebrate too soon. As long as you break the law, I will bring you to justice!"
Xia Xue warned the camera.
Zheng Bowen smiled, completely unconcerned by Xia Xue's warning.
This was because he had no intention of leaving any evidence for Xia Xue.
However, just as Zheng Bowen thought Xia Xue was about to give up and leave, an action by Xia Xue caught his attention.
Xia Xue picked up a small notebook and opened it, revealing some residual pink powder within.
"Not good!"
Zheng Bowen's pupils contracted. This powder was Datura flower powder. It had accidentally blown into the notebook when he was having someone develop poisons.
"Ah Kun, immediately take your men to stop Xia Xue from leaving. Quickly!"
Zheng Bowen panicked and anxiously gave the order.
"Brother-in-law, what exactly is this powder? Why do you look so nervous?"
Yang Ming asked.
"Don't worry about it. I won't harm Xia Xue, but she must leave behind what she has in her hand!"
Zheng Bowen did not explain. The matter was of great importance, and he did not want to cause Yang Ming to resent him.
At this moment, Xia Xue, still in the office, had already recognized the powder as Datura flower pollen.
"Zheng Bowen, you still made a mistake. Let's see how you explain this now!"
Xia Xue collected the powder. Hearing the noisy footsteps in the corridor, she quickly pushed open the office window, took out a pre-prepared rope, and slid down.
When she reached Lin Feng's floor, Xia Xue saw that Zheng Bowen's subordinates above had already pulled out revolvers from their clothes.
"Captain Xia, hurry up and come up! Don't force us to act!"
Ah Kun held his revolver. Since Zheng Bowen had instructed him not to harm Xia Xue, he could only try to scare her.
"You wish! Even if I die, I won't give you back the evidence!"
Xia Xue said resolutely and swung the rope, preparing to use the momentum to jump into Lin Feng's room.
Bang!
A sound echoed. Ah Kun pulled the trigger without hesitation.
However, he wasn't aiming at Xia Xue, but trying to scare her.
"Captain Xia, stop what you're doing immediately. If you don't come up, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Ah Kun warned sternly.
Xia Xue saw the killing intent in Ah Kun's eyes and was momentarily unsure of what to do.
Fortunately, at this moment, Lin Feng appeared in the room. Seeing Xia Xue dangling outside the window, he leaned over the bed and opened his arms.
"What are you waiting for? Cut the rope, I'll catch you!"
Lin Feng gestured.
"No, that will drag you down too!"
Xia Xue firmly refused.
The impact would be too great. Lin Feng's arms alone were not enough to catch her, and he might be pulled down the building and fall to his death.
"Stop dawdling!"
Lin Feng had no choice. He placed one foot on the windowsill and reached out to try and grab Xia Xue.
Ah Kun noticed Lin Feng's actions and hurriedly asked for instructions, "Boss, the guy named Lin is causing trouble. If I don't take emergency measures, Captain Xia will be taken away by him!"
"Then take emergency measures. Don't worry about it too much. Quickly!"
Zheng Bowen made a decisive choice.
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing? Didn't you say you wouldn't hurt Xiao Xue? Are you crazy?"
Yang Ming saw Zheng Bowen's intention and immediately panicked.
He rushed out recklessly, trying to prevent the tragedy from happening.
As a result, the deafening sound of a revolver echoed, and Yang Ming froze in place.
It's over, it's completely over!
Not just him, Xia Xue also felt that it was over for her.
But the next second, she heard a man's heavy voice in her ear.
"Don't just stand there, come in!"
Lin Feng showed a hint of pain.
Xia Xue then realized that it was Lin Feng who had pulled her to the bedside at the critical moment, thus avoiding the fatal blow.
But soon, Xia Xue noticed that Lin Feng's arm was bleeding profusely.
"What's wrong with you?"
Xia Xue exclaimed in shock.
"It's nothing. I took one for you. You remember to make it up to me!"
Lin Feng smiled indifferently. This injury meant nothing to him.
