Super Soldier-Chapter 460 - To Wax A Tiger

Chapter 460 To Wax A Tiger

The door of the office opened with a squeak. Yezi rubbed her forehead and sighed.

But she was startled by Xiao Bing, who was sitting on a chair. She folded her hands before her chest and said angrily, “You scared me. When did you come here?”

Xiao Bing looked at Yezi and said, “I have been waiting for you for some time, since you were at the press conference.”

Yezi burst into laughter, “You’re like a ghost.”

Xiao Bing looked at the rare appearance of joy on her face and asked, “So what’s the situation now?”

“Problems solved.” Yezi smiled happily, “I do things by a certain code, so I am not afraid of anything. Dapeng’s wife really supported me this time at the conference. Now almost everyone knows that someone is creating trouble for me.”

Xiao Bing looked at the joy on her face and asked, “It’s really settled?”

“Yes.”

Smiling, Xiao Bing walked over to her and held the girl in his arms, “Silly girl, you are not good at lying.”

Yezi fell silent, then she leaned on Xiao Bing’s body. She pressed her face against his chest and sighed, “Brother Bing, I feel tired. But I need to be strong for the company. I need to stick with it.”

“Silly girl, I understand. The conference did not go well?”

Yezi sighed, “It was pretty good. It’s the best we can do now. The negative influences have not been completely mitigated. Our shareholders and some partners are worried, since there are others against us. But the effects are minimal to the company. It will subside gradually.”

Xiao Bing said. “I suppose this will influence your purchasing of the land in City Ha?”

“Yes. That is what I’m worried about. Our opponent is no less powerful than us. Besides, the company is having a difficult time. It will influence the bidding. At least the government will be concerned about public safety.”

Xiao Bing nodded. He held Yezi close and said softly, “I know you are having a rough time, but will you trust me? Let me take care of this. You go ahead and prepare for the bidding. You will win this as long as I’m here.”

Yezi shook her head, “Brother Bing, it’s about business, not the gang. I’m afraid that there’s little you can do.”

Xiao Bing feigned anger, “You don’t believe in your all-mighty Brother Bing?”

Noticing that Xiao Bing was not joking, Yezi asked in bewilderment, “Brother Bing, are you serious about it?”

Xiao Bing grinned, “Do you think I seem to be joking? I will never joke about something so serious. Alright, just listen to me and relax. Strengthen the security and prepare for the bidding. I will try to help you get through this.”

Yezi felt relieved and felt the burden on her shoulders lifting instantly. She grabbed Xiao Bing’s arm and smiled, “Wait for me tonight. I will buy food and wine, when I’m done with work.”

Xiao Bing grinned, “You don’t need to thank me. We have been together for so long”

“I did not say that. Will you consider it as a date?”

“Alright. You really should start your work… I don’t want to bother you.”

Then Xia Bing sat down again and Yezi began working. When she was done with her work, it was already 8 pm. She noticed that Xiao Bing was almost falling asleep on the sofa. She stood up and said awkwardly, “Brother Bing, you must be starving.”

“No. You’re starving.” Xiao Bing rubbed his eyes and asked, “Are you done?”

“Yes. The plans for the bidding is almost finished. I will hold a meeting with all the top officers of the company tomorrow morning to improve our security. Then I can take leave in the afternoon. Will you take a stroll with me then?”

Xiao Bing laughed, “How can I refuse?”

“Alright, let’s go.” Then Yezi walked toward Xiao Bing jauntily, and left the room with her arms linked with Xiao Bing’s.

Xiao Bing and Yezi drove to a western restaurant nearby and sat at a quiet corner. Xiao Bing’s phone suddenly rang. He looked at the number and saw that it was Jiang Wangting. Soon he realized that it was about the case. He took the call immediately, “Brother Bing, your guess is right. The driver has confessed that he is the firestarter.”

Xiao Bing sounded surprised, “He confessed so soon?”

“Yes. After you left, he was brought to the Criminal Police Brigade. I went there, checked the footage and sent my men to find if there were any shortcuts. They found one behind the warehouse. It can save them a couple of minutes, which was enough for him to start the fire. Then my men found a pair of gloves on the grass beside the road. Though it seemed perfect, there are still flaws. I suppose he forgot to throw the gloves into the fire and realized he was still wearing it halfway on the road. So he just threw the gloves out of the car window. But we found them and his fingerprints were on them.”

Xiao Bing praised her, “Wanting, I’m really impressed.”

Though it was Xiao Bing who told them who the firestarter was, it was Jiang Wanting who found all the evidence so soon. It was truly something remarkable.

But that was not what Xiao Bing cared about most. Indeed the firestarter deserved this. But he was more concerned about the person behind this.

Xiao Bing asked, “Did he tell you who was behind this?”

Jiang Wanting sighed, “He does not know. He only told me that he made the deal with a man in a mask. That man knows that his daughter has leukaemia and he needs money. So he gave this man a big amount of money to set fire to the warehouse and he would be paid again after the act was done. He did it all for his daughter. There is no camera at the place where they met, which made it hard for us to find out who that person was.”

Frowning, Xiao Bing sighed, “Is that true? It seems that this clue has come to an end. Indeed, this Lu Fan is very cunning.”

Jiang Wanting spoke seriously, “Brother Bing, you were a soldier and a commando. You should know that you need evidence to prove that a man is guilty. Since there’s no evidence now, you should not make that judgment so easily.”

Xiao Bing nodded and said. “Anyway, I should thank you for arresting the firestarter… He did it for a reason. I will suggest to Yezi that we should not sue him. But we don’t know if those men who got burned will sue him?”

Jiang Wanting sighed, “No matter what the reason is, he still has to pay for what he has done. Even if you won’t sue him, he will be in jail for over ten years. It’s just that his punishment will be less if you guys don’t sue him. But ten years’ imprisonment is quite light for him.”

“Yes.” Xiao Bing said, “Then let’s put an end to it for now. I should hang up. I’m having my dinner. You are still working? You really are a dutiful captain. I probably should ask Yezi to send you a silk banner.”

Jiang Wanting grinned, “Don’t joke with me. I just need you to help me once in a while in the future. That will be better than anything else.”

Xiao Bing grinned, “I definitely will. Have a good night.”

“Good night.”

Xiao Bing put his phone aside after he hung up. Yezi asked, “What did she say? They managed to catch the criminal?”

“Yes.” Xiao Bing gave Yezi a summary of the progress. “It’s obvious that Lu Fan is behind all of this. He’s cunning and rich. All he had to do was to give money to the taxi driver. So no matter if the driver was caught or not, he would not be involved. What a perfect plan.”

Frowning, Yezi said, “My father once told me that although businessmen crave profits, they still attach importance to their conscience. A company must be on the right path to achieve success. That’s the only way they can stay on the top of the world and have the support of all.”

Xiao Bing said with reverence, “Uncle Ye is a true and great businessman!”

Xiao Bing’s phone suddenly rang again. It was Big Dog, the leader of the gang in City Qi. He had also been sent to City Qi by Xiao Bing. There had been a fight between some rascals and the staff at one of the branches of the Ye Group. Xiao Bing sent him to find out who started this. Da Gou spoke respectfully, “Brother Bing, I have found the mastermind. It was started by a gang leader called Lu Chuan. He paid these rascals a certain amount of money and asked them to start the fight. Brother Bing, what should we do with them?”

Xiao Bing said coldly, “They told the truth. But that’s not enough to be used as evidence. It seems that I need to take care of it personally. Break their legs and I’ll do the rest.”

“As you say, Brother Bing.”

There was a hint of sharpness glittering in Xiao Bing’s eyes after he hung up. Then a cold smile touched his lips.

“Brother Bing, what happened?” Yezi asked worriedly.

“Nothing…” Xiao Bing smiled, “There are some people who thought they are tigers. But now I’m going to wax the tigers…”
