66: Chapter 66: Extortion Case 66: Chapter 66: Extortion Case The night passed without incident.
Early the next morning, Chen Yushan awoke feeling refreshed, as she hadn’t been tortured by pain.
She got out of bed bright and early.
When she opened the door and stepped out of her bedroom, Yushan glanced toward the living room and saw that scoundrel Ye Haochuan sprawled out on the sofa bed, sound asleep and looking utterly ridiculous.
His drool had even ford a three-foot-long trail.
This good-for-nothing actually seed well-behaved enough in his sleep.
Chen Yushan felt amused but then shook her head.
Regardless, her condition had indeed improved, so it seed his dical skills weren’t just for show.
Well then, even though she couldn’t afford to pay a million, making him breakfast as a way to express her thanks was still doable.
With that thought in mind, Yushan tiptoed to the kitchen to start preparing…
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Yushan brought out breakfast — soy milk, fried eggs, and stead buns.
Simple, yet perfectly in line with modern breakfast habits.
Yushan took another look into the living room, only to find that scoundrel still sound asleep, which left her speechless.
She called out, “Ti to get up, ti to get up…”
Ye Haochuan then woke up and, peering at the light outside, said sleepily, “But isn’t it still early?”
Rolling her eyes, Chen Yushan replied, “Still early?
The sun’s three poles high already.”
“Three poles high already?” Ye Haochuan wiped the corner of his mouth, clearing the sleepiness, and chuckled, “Then it’s ti to get up.
I’m usually up early anyway, heh heh.”
Chen Yushan retorted bitterly, “Shut your trap.”
Looks like Officer Chen knows what’s up, doesn’t she?
Got that right?
Ye Haochuan laughed heartily as he got up and walked to the dining table.
Eyeing the stead buns, he said, “Let’s see how our beautiful officer does in the kitchen.”
As he reached out to grab a bun, Chen Yushan slapped his hand away and said irritably, “Wash your paws first.”
Ye Haochuan exaggerated a cry of pain and chuckled, “Now, now, Officer Beauty, aren’t you overstepping a bit?
You’re not my wife.
I’ll eat the bun any way I want.
What’s it to you?”
This jerk, trying to take advantage again!
Feeling annoyed, Yushan said, “And you call yourself a doctor.
Don’t you know it’s unsanitary not to wash your hands before eating, and it can lead to sickness?”
“Hey, you obviously don’t get it,” Ye Haochuan boasted, “Haven’t you heard the saying, ‘A little dirt won’t hurt, it makes your immune system work’?
Get it?
Ah, forget it, it’s pointless explaining to you.
You can’t even take care of your own irregular periods, how would you understand the principle behind it?”
“You…”
Just as Chen Yushan was about to blow up, her phone suddenly rang.
She picked up and saw that it was a call from the police headquarters’ ergency dispatch.
Typically, when her colleagues from the ergency dispatch called, it ant there was a police duty to attend to.
Sure enough, after she picked up, Yushan gave Ye Haochuan a serious look, “Sorry, I’ve just received a call from the station.
There’s been a dispute case in my jurisdiction, and I need to rush over to deal with it, so…”
Ye Haochuan instantly understood and smiled, “Understood, understood.
Official duties co first.
You go ahead, I should get going too.”
After saying that, he unapologetically gulped down all the soy milk, grabbed a stead bun, and while stuffing it into his mouth, he headed towards the door.
Seeing his considerate gesture, Chen Yushan felt a touch of warmth.
She thought to herself that this bad egg wasn’t quite as bad as she had imagined.
Imitating what she saw, Chen Yushan stuffed an egg into her mouth, followed by half a glass of soy milk before hurrying back to her room to tidy up briefly and then leave.
She t Ye Haochuan, who was waiting at the door, and together they went downstairs to the parking lot.
Coincidentally, the red BMW that Ye Haochuan was driving was parked right next to the police car assigned to Chen Yushan,
“Huh, I wouldn’t have guessed, but you’re driving a BMW!” Chen Yushan said with a smirk.
“And it’s red, too.
You really have bold taste!
Don’t tell it was a gift from so rich lady?”
How did it co to this?
Ye Haochuan was sowhat at a loss for words, saying, “You really have so imagination, don’t you think I’m that kind of person?
Listen up, this BMW is just borrowed from a friend of mine temporarily.”
“Yeah, right!” Chen Yushan said with a skeptical look.
Ye Haochuan couldn’t be bothered to argue with her, opened the car door, climbed in, and was just starting the engine when Chen Yushan suddenly hurried over, saying, “Trouble, the gas tank of my unit’s police car broke, all the fuel leaked out.
Doctor Ye, could you give a lift?”
Ye Haochuan imdiately opened the car door and said with a laugh, “No problem, who says being helpful isn’t my greatest flaw?”
Chen Yushan was surprised for a mont, clearly not expecting him to agree so readily, but without any hesitation, she got into the car and sat on the passenger side.
“To Chenghuang Temple.”
“Sure thing!”
Ye Haochuan gently stepped on the accelerator, and the red BMW drove out of the neighborhood, rging into traffic, racing swiftly.
Five minutes later, the BMW stopped near an antique shop at Chenghuang Temple.
At this point, the entrance of the antique shop was crowded with people, three layers inside and three layers outside.
Chen Yushan got out of the car in a hurry, shouting, “Police business, please make way!
Make way, please!”
The crowd, seeing a woman in a police uniform, wisely stepped aside.
Ye Haochuan, who was eager to see what the excitent was about, parked the BMW by the roadside, got out, and followed Chen Yushan into the centre of the crowd.
Outside the antique shop, an ordinary-dressed old man was sprawled on the ground, with a bruised nose and swollen face, blood all over his head, and his body covered in random footprints, clearly having just been beaten.
And at the entrance of the antique shop, a group of people dressed to the nines looked down upon the old man on the ground with disdain and scorn.
The leader, a man in his thirties with a cunning look on his face, seed like the owner of the antique shop.
He was cursing at the old man on the ground, “You old bastard, trying to extort ?
Scram, and if you cause trouble again, I’ll have soone break your legs!”
Ye Haochuan frowned deeply.
Why did this scene look like sothing from the old society?
Damn, even if the old man was trying to extort, as a re antique shop owner, you had no right to beat soone up like this, right?
Besides, the old man was alone and weak, and you’re outnumbered; where would he get the strength to extort you?
By now, Chen Yushan had already approached.
After taking a look at the old man on the ground, she turned to the antique shop owner and asked, “What happened here?”
On seeing Chen Yushan in her police uniform, the antique shop owner’s expression stiffened, but then he approached with a smile plastered on his face, “Oh, Officer, here’s the thing.
This old man ca to my shop to extort money, claiming I possessed his calligraphy and painting and demanding compensation.
But the thing is, I’ve done nothing of the sort, you can ask my employees.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than the employees behind him chid in agreent.
Chen Yushan frowned, her years of experience telling her that there was probably more to the story than what these people were saying.
