Tang Ling found it amusing, looking at him like a rare specimen: "Brother Xie, everyone understands the words, but how many actually do it?
I can guarantee that not a single person in our circle does. Only incapable men stay with one woman for life; it's because they have no other choice.
Anyone with a little money wouldn't want to explore different flavors?
Like this toy, can you only play with one for your entire life?"
Xie Sui also found it funny. "That's true, but toys are for playing. You need to survive before you can think about playing. Toys are good, but don't be too greedy."
After dinner, everyone went their separate ways. However, Tang Ling had a beautiful woman for company, while Xie Sui could only sleep alone, working until late into the night.
The next morning, Xie Sui was woken by the sound of his phone. It was Du Feiyang.
"Brother Xie, what did you do? My third sister came back crying all night and cursed you all night. I suspect you did something to her, and my eldest brother wants to settle accounts with you."
Du Feiyang's words were full of schadenfreude. It was the first time his arrogant, pampered third sister had cried so miserably.
Xie Sui: "She's that spirited? You might not believe this, but I just didn't invite her to dinner and sent her home to eat."
"That's it?!"
Xie Sui: "Otherwise? If you don't believe me, ask Tang Ling. He ate with me last night. Alright, I won't joke with you anymore. You're not busy at the company, so take some time to check on the film and television side. It's a mess over there, and I can't even manage it right now."
"Okay, I'll go today then."
Du Feiyang just drifted along at his family's group of companies. No one took him seriously; he was just a figurehead, and he got bored after a few days.
He liked novelty, and the film and television company was quite new. He could see beautiful women and manage people, which was more fun than staying at home.
Xie Sui got out of bed, washed up, and prepared to go for breakfast, ready to start another day of hard work.
While squatting in the bathroom, he heard a noise outside and found it strange. Who would come to his office so early?
An uninvited guest, a thief?
He opened the bathroom door and peeked out. It was Yao Qiguang, sitting in Xie Sui's boss chair with a smug look on his face.
"What Boss Xie? Isn't he just a bumpkin? He made some money by luck and thinks he's a real big shot now?
After today, he'll only be able to feed turtles in the sea. Everything here will be mine, haha..."
Xie Sui: "..."
What was this guy going crazy about so early in the morning?
Oh, he forgot. Today was the day they were supposed to leave by boat, but plans changed. He didn't get on the boat, so he must have made some arrangements.
Did he think he had already succeeded and came to his office to celebrate in advance?
Xie Sui was speechless. He walked out of the bathroom, washed his hands, and looked at him playfully: "Secretary Yao, you're here quite early. Is my chair comfortable?"
Yao Qiguang: "..."
He looked as if he had seen a ghost, no, something more terrifying than a ghost.
"You, why didn't you get on the boat?"
Xie Sui: "Don't you know that a boss's schedule can change at any time? Do I need to explain to you if I don't want to leave?"
Yao Qiguang's face turned ashen with fear. He seemed to remember something and was about to rush out of the room. Xie Sui stuck out his foot, tripping him. He fell face-first into the dirt.
"Don't rush off. Let's talk. What trap did you dig for me? Whose subordinate are you?"
Xie Sui picked up the letter opener from the desk and placed it at his neck. Yao Qiguang dared not move.
"You, you can't kill me!"
"Yes, I won't kill you. You're not worth dirtying my hands. I can hand you over to Young Master Du to slowly interrogate."
After speaking, he made a phone call. Du Feiyang would have something else to do.
Yao Qiguang felt a little relieved. As long as he wasn't going to die immediately, he had a chance to turn things around.
Then he heard Xie Sui say: "Inspector Liang, someone broke into my office and is threatening me with a knife. If I accidentally use excessive self-defense and kill him, will I go to jail?
Oh, no? That's considered lawful self-defense. Good, I understand. That's all for now. Goodbye. I'll treat you to a meal another day."
Xie Sui's knife pressed down hard, and blood flowed out. Yao Qiguang trembled all over: "Boss Xie, don't! Let's talk properly. Aren't you going to find Young Master Du?"
"I changed my mind. Don't you remember what I told you? Do I need to explain to you what I want to do?
He scraped his neck with the knife, drawing blood with each stroke. Yao Qiguang knew he wasn't joking and immediately surrendered: "The Green Gang hired me. They had people waiting on the boat you were supposed to take, intending to kill you."
Xie Sui: "It would have been better if you had said so earlier. A fine Green Gang. You, a good secretary, playing spy? Are you cut out for this?"
Yao Qiguang truthfully replied: "The leader of the Green Gang is my uncle. My family depends on him for a living, so I don't dare to disobey."
"You can tell all this to the police. I am a law-abiding citizen. How could I do anything like murder or arson?"
Footsteps were heard from outside. Liang Ni rushed in with her people, kicking the office door open.
Xie Sui put away the knife and smiled: "Inspector Liang, you're here quickly. This person pretended to apply for a position as my secretary, but he's actually from the Green Gang. He came early to steal commercial intelligence and even tried to attack me. Fortunately, I know a little self-defense, otherwise, you would have found my corpse when you entered."
A male police officer looked at him unkindly: "What nonsense are you talking about? You injured him, didn't you? Come with us and explain clearly."
Xie Sui glanced at him. It was the one who had disliked him before. He then looked at Inspector Liang: "You can't even control your dog. I really doubt your capabilities."
The male police officer angrily said: "Get down! Who are you calling a dog?"
Liang Ni angrily said: "Shut up, Qin Shaowu. I am now officially informing you that you are suspended without pay. Go home and rest. My team doesn't need people like you."
Qin Shaowu found it unbelievable: "You're suspending me for this mainland guy? Liang Ni, are you crazy?"
Liang Ni: "I think you're the one who's crazy. Ever since I started my position, you've disobeyed my orders. I don't care who your connections are to get in here; I absolutely will not keep someone like you.
You can choose not to listen, but I will report it to my superiors.
You guys, take him away and treat his injuries first."
Liang Ni looked businesslike and said to Xie Sui: "The case is not yet clear. You are not allowed to leave Hong Kong City in the short term and must be available for summons at any time."
"Okay, Inspector Liang. Thank you for your hard work."
Qin Shaowu glared fiercely at Xie Sui. Xie Sui shrugged: "Are you still trying to take revenge for personal reasons? Inspector Liang, look at him. He definitely hates me. I request police protection."
"Okay, I will assign someone to keep an eye on him. Don't worry, it's our duty to protect the safety of citizens."
Xie Sui personally escorted them out. Qin Shaowu's belly bulged with anger, like a toad. Xie Sui winked, wanting to infuriate him. You can't do anything to me, right?
He was also quite a jerk, provoking Qin Shaowu who had already been suspended. Qin Shaowu's eyes turned fierce, and his hand went to his waist, where his service pistol was. Xie Sui's face changed drastically. Damn it, he's serious!
