Super Soldier-Chapter 25 - Chang Huai’an’s Weakness

After Su Xiaoxiao left the detention house, she returned home immediately. She found the memory stick in Xiao Bing’s luggage bag. After she connected it to the computer, she was shocked… there were records of the bribes Chang Huai’an had taken and even several audio files in which Chang Huai’an’s voice was clear.

How did Brother Bing get this?

Xiao Bing had only just arrived in Jiang City a few days ago. Why would he have such an important thing? And what was Xiao Bing’s purpose in doing this? Could it be that they were already enemies before?

Su Xiaoxiao knew very well what this small memory stick meant. Once she delivered it to the commission for discipline inspection, Chang Huai’an would lose his position right away. It might even involve a few more corrupt officers.

The whole Jiang City would be upturned!

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a second, made a backup copy in her email, and carefully locked the flash disk into the nightstand before finally feeling relieved. She was going to make the report soon. But because this step was so crucial, she decided to go visit Xiao Bing one more time to see if there was anything else that Xiao Bing needed her to do.

Shortly after Xiao Bing went back to the cell, his second visitor arrived. It was the first daughter of the Ye Family, Ye Xinyi.

When Ye Xinyi saw Xiao Bing, he didn’t seem depressed as she had expected him to be, not even a little. Ye Xinyi felt quite surprised and became less confident.

Maybe it was because of the Ye Family’s influence, but there was no one else present when Ye Xinyi met Xiao Bing, not even the jailor. Ye Xinyi wore a tight black dress and looked quite seductive.

Sitting down face to face with Xiao Bing, Ye Xinyi looked at him with tender eyes. In the face of such attractive eyes and beauty, any man would fall for her. However, for Xiao Bing, this didn’t work.

Xiao Bing laughed and said, “I didn’t expect for us to meet again so soon. This is a detention house, not a place someone like you should be at.”

Ye Xinyi looked around, and said with a smile, “How was your sleep last night? The condition here seems quite bad. I’m guessing that it’s hard for you to get used to it?”

“It’s okay. I had food, drinks, and a massage. They treat me like a king.”

Obviously, Ye Xinyi didn’t believe it. She said with a smile, “Actually, from the moment I first saw you, I knew you were different. Now I’m convinced. Ordinary people aren’t as tough as you. Who are you, Brother Bing?”

Xiao Bing asked, “If I say that I’m just an ordinary veteran, would you believe me?”

Ye Xinyi shook her head and said, “An ordinary veteran couldn’t get help from the best in the Hua Xia medical field.”

Xiao Bing laughed and said, “Haha, everybody has their luck in meeting people, no matter if it’s people on the top or at the bottom. It was just my luck to know Mr. Zhang. Are you here only to talk about this with me, Miss Ye?”

Ye Xinyi said with a smile, “Even if you are ordinary, you are smart and capable.”

Xiao Bing smiled slightly, said, “Thank you.”

Ye Xinyi started to look serious and said, “Xiao Bing, I am afraid you don’t know, Xie Lun is a narrow-minded person and Chang Huai’an is greedy. They both want to finish you off this time. If a capable man like you spends his whole life in this horrible jail, wouldn’t it be unfortunate?”

Xiao Bing didn’t say anything and looked at Ye Xinyi with a smile. His smile made Ye Xinyi quite uneasy because she never had such a feeling before, a feeling that she wasn’t in control of things.

Trying to push down this uncomfortable feeling, Ye Xinyi said with a serious voice, “I meant what I said. If you could really ask Zhang Yizhi to treat my father, I would do everything I can to get you out of here. Although I am a woman, I keep my word as a gentleman does!”

Xiao Bing sighed slightly, and asked with a curious voice, “Miss Ye, do you know why I turned down your request?”

Ye Xinyi shook her head and said honestly, “I don’t know.”

Xiao Bing laughed and said, “Because, for a girl of noble birth like you, you would never understand what it means to respect everyone equally. If you had asked me in a good and reasonable manner yesterday, I would be glad to help. But I don’t need an equal exchange of benefits… And you wouldn’t be able to afford that either. Even if you don’t help me, I am still getting out of here. Would you believe that?”

Ye Xinyi suddenly felt frustration while they looked at each other. Just as Xiao Bing said, she grew up being praised by others. She was smart and flexible. However, she was too proud of her status and thought she had already made concessions by looking for Xiao Bing first. In her head, Xiao Bing had asked for too much.

Ye Xinyi stood up slowly and smiled brightly, “If that’s all, I’m leaving. I look forward to hearing from you, Brother Bing. If you change your mind, the police can help you find me. Goodbye.”

Seeing Ye Xinyi leave, Xiao Bing knew he had offended this proud woman again. But it didn’t matter to him, because he could afford it!

Xiao Bing waited. There would be a third visitor—Chang Huai’an, the director of the police station in Jin Sha District!

Xiao Bing had to wait until the evening. After dinner, the jailor came and opened the door to the cell. He looked at Xiao Bing with a complicated expression and said, “Come out, Director Chang wants to meet you.”

Xiao Bing laughed a bit, stood up, and walked out with a proud air, as if he weren’t a prisoner but a general who was on his way to make an inspection tour on his soldiers.

While Chang Huai’an was waiting for Xiao Bing anxiously, Yezi arrived at the Xiaoxiao Noodle House. She looked a bit worried. Last night, she waited for Xiao Bing’s goodnight text, but it never came. She got even more upset during the day because she couldn’t get through Xiao Bing’s phone. Then she finally realized something might have happened, something she wasn’t aware of.

Seeing that Yezi was in a bad mood, Xu Wenting and Chen Yuanyuan went along with Yezi. They had been comforting Yezi the whole way there. However, they couldn’t figure out why Xiao Bing went missing.

After they entered the Xiaoxiao Noodle House, they went to Zhang Jing at the register. Yezi looked at her and asked, “Where’s Brother Bing?”

“Brother Bing… Brother Bing…”

Zhang Jing looked hesitant. Yezi got anxious and asked with a worried voice, “What happened? Tell me now.”

“He got arrested by the police.”

“Arrested? Why?” Yezi was stunned, and asked angrily, “Was it because of what happened to Yu Hao?”

“It seemed like it was more than that.” Zhang Jing sighed, started to explain what happened the other day.

After Zhang Jing finished, Yezi and her friend’s face fell. Chen Yuanyuan and Xu Wenting looked to Yezi with worried expressions and said, “Yezi… don’t worry, things will be fine.”

Yezi shook her head and suddenly ran out to the door, leaving everything behind. In a rush, Chen Yuanyuan and Xu Wenting tried to call her back. Yezi yelled out with her loudest voice, “Don’t worry about me, I’m just going to see him for a bit… and ask about the details of all of this. If those people frame Brother Bing, no matter who… no matter the cost, I will make them pay, I will!”

“Are you sure you want to fly? Give me your hand. I’ll take you.”

“She isn’t available… she’s got a date tonight… with me.”

“Is our date tonight still on?”

“Of course…”

Sitting in the car, Yezi kept thinking of the time she spent with Xiao Bing. Then she realized, although she hadn’t known him for very long, he already filled her heart.

Concurrently, Xiao Bing finally met Chang Huai’an.

From the moment Xiao Bing walked into the office, Chang Huai’an started feeling uneasy. He couldn’t imagine that he would feel uneasy because of a prisoner who was slated to be slaughtered. It made him panic. He waved his hand to the jailor stiffly and said, “Leave us now, all of you.”

Before he left, the jailor took out his cuffs. Xiao Bing gave him his hands and let him cuff them. Then, it was just Xiao Bing and Chang Huai’an in the office.

Sitting on the chair of the director of the detention house, Chang Huai’an pointed to the sofa across and said, “Please have a seat. I’ve already sent out the director here, and no one will come in. Why do you want to meet me?”

Xiao Bing sat down on the sofa, looked at Chang Huai’an with placid eyes, smiling despite his circumstances, and said, “I knew you would come. You are clever, and you do clever things.”

Chang Huai’an frowned and said, “Please cut it short.”

“Okay.” Xiao Bing smiled slightly and said, “Last year in June, you accepted a bribe of five million dollars from the boss of a famous construction company in Jiang City. He got drunk once, raped and killed a female student. Five million dollars to buy a life. After you took the money, you closed the case with no definite conclusion.”

Chang Huai’an’s face turned red. He slapped the table and shouted, “Nonsense!”

Xiao Bing said in a calm voice, “Last year at the end of October, you took advantage of your power and promoted your mistress to director in a local police station in the area within your jurisdiction. This year at the beginning of January, you accepted a bribe of one million dollars, brought a failed cadet into the police station… oh, I feel like smoking now, can I have a cigarette?”

Chang Huai’an got quite stunned and could not speak a word. Xiao Bing walked to him step by step, and took a cigarette out of the cigarette case on the table. Chang Huai’an took the initiative to hold up a lighter. Click click… His hands were shaking. He pressed the lighter five times before it finally lit Xiao Bing’s cigarette.

Xiao Bing puffed out some smoke, put his cuffed hands on the table, and stretched his body, before staring at Chang Huai’an up close with his eyes wide open.

In the face of Xiao Bing’s threatening look, Chang Huai’an lost his pride. He asked with a trembling voice, “What… what do you want?”

“I want to leave!”

“No… no problem.”

“I want you to beg me… Beg me to leave, in front of everybody here!”
