Chapter 544: Chapter 542: Unexpected Incident

At three in the afternoon, having just concluded the livestream and solidified his title as the "Air Force Commander" once more, Yang Qingshu joined up with Song Qing, Zhao Jinde, and Ma.

Zhao Jinde and Ma appeared drowsy, clearly just roused from their nap.

The two were just like night owls now, sleeping through the day and venturing out at night.

Looking at their increasingly worn-out appearance, it was clear they weren’t up to anything good.

"You two aren’t really livestreaming something shady, are you?"

After glancing at the two for a moment, Yang Qingshu couldn’t help but ask.

"How could we?"

Upon hearing this, Ma quickly shook his head.

Beside him, Zhao Jinde swayed his head, saying, "Where would we get the guts for that?"

"If we were really livestreaming something shady, wouldn’t we be thrown in prison once back in Dragon Country?"

Ma chimed in with a laugh, "We just painstakingly gained tens of thousands of followers; there’s no way we’d joke around with our livestream accounts."

"All we do is visit bars every day, giving folks a glimpse of what the bars here in Sheng Mei are like."

"Brother Yang, if you don’t believe us, come along with us tonight, and you’ll see."

Zhao Jinde raised an eyebrow, giving Yang Qingshu a knowing look.

"Hmm?"

Just as he finished speaking, Song Qing’s gaze, full of murderous intent, swept across the two.

"Ahem... just kidding! Just kidding!"

Seeing this, Zhao Jinde quickly waved his hand.

He’d been friends with Song Qing for years, and naturally knew that aside from being proficient in dance, Miss Song practiced martial arts regularly.

Neither he nor Ma, even together, were a match for Song Qing.

So it was better to honestly admit defeat!

"Are you interested?"

Seeing the two back down, Song Qing raised an eyebrow and looked at Yang Qingshu.

"Me... How could I be interested in that?"

Yang Qingshu was about to press further, but caught sight of the anger in Song Qing’s eyes, promptly putting on the appearance of a virtuous gentleman.

"Let’s go out for a meal instead; I’m starving!"

Ma, quick-witted, immediately changed the topic.

"How about trying Elephant Country cuisine?"

Song Qing thought for a moment before suggesting.

As expected, she was drawn to the new topic.

The three men exchanged glances and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

While the four were contemplating what to eat, several police cars suddenly approached from a distance.

Hearing the sirens, Yang Qingshu was curious.

He thought perhaps something urgent was happening here.

But when those police cars stopped right in front of them, the four were dumbfounded.

As the police car doors opened, seven or eight uniformed Sheng Mei officers quickly got out, surrounding the dumbstruck group of four.

The officer leading the group, probably in his early forties, was short, with dark skin and a long scar on his forehead.

His gaze swept across the four, finally fixing on Yang Qingshu, before asking, "You’re Yang Qingshu, right?"

"Yes, I am!"

Yang Qingshu looked at him quizzically, then nodded lightly.

"Mr. Yang, we suspect you are connected to a murder case."

"Please come with us to Sheng Mei police station to assist in the investigation!"

The scarred officer continued coldly.

Despite his choppy Dragon Country language, it was understandable.

Hearing this, Yang Qingshu was bewildered.

What... what’s this about?

How had he become involved in a murder case?

As Yang Qingshu was paralyzed with disbelief, a Sheng Mei officer quickly approached and cuffed his hands with cold metal bracelets.

"I’m... I’m innocent!"

Feeling the handcuffs’ coldness, Yang Qingshu finally snapped out of it and hurriedly protested.

"Please cooperate with us!"

The scarred officer wasted no words, immediately having Yang Qingshu stuffed into the police car.

In no time, the police cars sped away, leaving Song Qing and the others stunned.

"Damn! How’d they take Brother Yang away?"

Zhao Jinde was the first to react, shouting urgently.

"What should we do?"

"Should we report it?"

Ma asked nervously.

It was his first time encountering such a situation, and he couldn’t help but panic a bit.

"Are you stupid?"

"The ones who took Brother Yang are the police. What would you be reporting?"

Zhao Jinde glared at Ma, scolding him.

"Then... then what should we do?"

Ma stomped his feet anxiously, unable to come up with an idea.

"Let me think... let me think..."

Forcing himself to calm down, Zhao Jinde pondered Yang Qingshu’s connections in Talan.

His mind clicked, and he quickly said, "Call that Tongtai!"

"Isn’t the Nawa Clan he’s part of quite influential in Sheng Mei?"

"Let’s have him help get Brother Yang out..."

Hearing this, Ma nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, quickly call Tongtai!"

Saying this, both their gazes turned to Song Qing.

Song Qing, pale-faced, stammered, "I... I don’t know Tongtai’s number!"

"Then... then call Consul General Fu!"

Zhao Jinde slapped his forehead, coming up with another idea.

"Yes, yes, call Consul General Fu!"

"We know Consul General Fu, he should have a way."

Ma echoed again.

"I... I don’t know Consul General Fu’s number either..."

Song Qing pressed her lips tightly together, almost on the verge of breaking down.

"Then let’s just get a cab over there!"

"Anyway, Consul General Fu is back in Sheng Mei too!"

Finished speaking, Zhao Jinde hurried out of the villa complex to hail a cab.

Song Qing and Ma quickly followed suit.

...

After being brought to the Sheng Mei police station, Yang Qingshu wasn’t taken to an interrogation room, but rather, an office.

Though he’d been bewildered earlier, he now figured it out.

Someone wanted to see him!

But the way they chose to meet him made him very unhappy!

After standing in the office for a short while, the office door was pushed open again.

Three people walked straight in.

Their group was headed by a tall foreigner with a hooked nose.

The one in the middle was an overweight, bald, greasy man in his fifties.

The last one turned out to be someone he knew...

"Mr. Yang, we meet again!"

Upon seeing Yang Qingshu, the familiar face immediately greeted him with a grin.

Yang Qingshu said nothing, just pouted slightly.

The person wasn’t anyone else but Kunshi Qinawa, who had schemed against Tongtai with the move "mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

In his eyes, this guy was just a sneaky bastard.

Having him brought here by Sheng Mei police today certainly meant no good.

"Heh!"

Seeing Yang Qingshu’s reaction, Kunshi Qinawa smiled nonchalantly.

Compared to Kunshi Qinawa’s smile, the other two men remained stern-faced, constantly scrutinizing Yang Qingshu...
