Qiao Xiaowan glared at Yang Ping, who was seeking her opinion, and pointed at the few people huddling in fear: "What to do? With you bunch of useless people, tell , what can we do?"
"Everyone attack together!" Yang Ping shouted and charged at Luo Ye, the others seeing this, also howled and rushed forward, but their posture and the sounds they made were obviously mismatched.
A hint of amusent flashed in Luo Ye’s eyes, and she swiftly dodged to the left, causing Yang Ping, who couldn’t stop her montum, to crash to the ground, while the others, moving slightly slower, just managed to stop right in front of Yang Ping.
"What’s going on?" Suddenly, the room door opened, and a stern-looking female prison guard, about thirty years old, walked in, glanced at Yang Ping sprawled on the floor, and then frowned at Luo Ye: "Did you do this?"
Qiao Xiaowan jumped in: "Officer Bai, she sought trouble with as soon as she arrived. Yang Ping couldn’t stand it and argued a few words for , then she started getting rough. The result is what you see now."
"Is that so?" The female prison guard looked at the others.
"Yes, that’s exactly it!"
"Indeed, we were just about to help Sister Yang up, and then you ca in."
"Officer Bai, can you discuss with the leadership about transferring her to another room? She’s too violent. If she stays here, we won’t dare to sleep at night."
"Indeed, indeed."
"..."
Everyone chid in with loud agreents.
The female prison guard pointed at Luo Ye: "You, go squat against the wall, and you can’t get up for two hours."
"Sorry, I can’t comply with your order." Luo Ye said calmly.
"Oh?" The female prison guard furrowed her brows, "I initially doubted the truth in what they said, but now it seems there might not be a misunderstanding. Go squat against the wall imdiately, you’re not here to show off your personality, learn to obey, understand?"
"But, you should investigate, shouldn’t you?"
Officer Bai looked at her mockingly: "With the majority pointing fingers at you, do I still need to investigate?" Then, her expression turned severe: "This is a prison, not a kindergarten!"
"Fine, I comply." Luo Ye smiled faintly and went to squat against the wall.
"Qiao Xiaowan!"
"Here!"
"Keep a close eye on her. If she dares to defy orders, report imdiately."
"Yes!"
"With a pretty face, you always want to be a spoiled princess everywhere? If you truly want to be a princess, you shouldn’t be here." The female prison guard said as she walked out, and upon reaching the door, she reminded, "If she dares to be violent again, notify at once."
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, eyes filled with fortunate smiles. They had worried about whether Luo Ye or Qiao Xiaowan had more authority, but now it seed Luo Ye was nothing, seeing Officer Bai’s arrangent was clearly providing them with favorable conditions to deal with her.
Yao Ziping carefully edged towards Qiao Xiaowan and stamred, "Boss, I...I listen to you."
"Too late!" Qiao Xiaowan snorted, "Seeing who has more power and wanting to switch sides, huh? You think such good fortune exists in the world?"
"Boss, I was wrong." Yao Ziping said as he walked over to Luo Ye, kicking her on the ankle, then pointed at the shoe mark on Luo Ye’s pants, pleadingly looking at Qiao Xiaowan: "Boss, look, I kicked her."
"Oh, you really didn’t dodge?" Qiao Xiaowan’s gaze fixed on the mark on Luo Ye’s pants, smiled smugly, and gestured to Yang Ping and the others, "All together now, quickly!"
"Looks like you really thought I was easy to bully." Luo Ye stood up, squinting at her, "Qiao Xiaowan, let tell you, you’re definitely getting your sentence extended, and as for you all..." pointing at Yang Ping and the others, "you’re getting your sentences extended too."
"Let’s not talk about extending the sentence, you didn’t comply with Officer Bai’s order, so we have the right to teach you a lesson." Qiao Xiaowan smirked, "I advise you not to be foolish, haven’t you realized so things by now?"
"Officer Bai is on your side, I get it." Luo Ye sneered, "Probably another masterpiece from your Grandpa, right? After all, Uncle Qiao’s family couldn’t possibly do such a thing."
"That’s slander, what I ant is, don’t expect to call the shots here!" Qiao Xiaowan grinned, stepping forward, "By the way, let tell you, there’s no surveillance equipnt in this room."
"Really?" Luo Ye bead, beckoning Yang Ping with her fingers, "Co, co, I just felt like moving around, don’t just stand there, hurry, hurry."
"Did you finish listening? Although there’s no surveillance, there’s an alarm bell. With a flick of my finger, Officer Bai will co, and everyone will testify against you, ensuring you’re locked up. How about it, want to taste that?"
"Who ends up locked up is uncertain." Luo Ye chuckled mischievously, "Qiao Xiaowan, if I dared to enter here, naturally, I’m not afraid of your retaliation, nor your tricks. If you don’t believe it, try it, and see who ends up unlucky in the end!"
Having cald down, Fan Rui began to diate: "Let it go, this matter getting bigger won’t be good for anyone."
"Fan Fan, a few simple words from her, and you’re swayed?" Qiao Xiaowan stared displeased at Fan Rui, "You’re just going to forgive her for what happened to your dad and brother?"
"No." Fan Rui pulled Qiao Xiaowan aside and whispered a few words.
"Rest assured, this ti no one can make a difference, those two families won’t risk everything for her, otherwise, how could she possibly get in?" Qiao Xiaowan stared fixedly at Luo Ye, "You and I are destined to be enemies in this lifeti, and now you’ve offered yourself up, if I don’t stir things up, I would be doing you a disservice.
I might as well tell you clearly, if you dare retaliate, I’ll imdiately sound the alarm, Officer Bai’s electric baton isn’t just for show, you’d better think carefully!"
Luo Ye rolled her eyes: "Idiot!"
"Now let show you who the real idiot is." As Qiao Xiaowan said this, she swiftly flung her hand outwards, and white powder dispersed through the air, quickly spreading out as Yang Ping and others slumped down one after another.
"Dogs never change, always eating shit!" Luo Ye quickly stepped back and covered her nose.
The ancestral yellow jade that Grandpa Ye gave her, due to its natural qualities and the reason of being soaked in potion, can instantly neutralize hundreds of poisons and intoxicants, sothing Grandpa told her secretly afterwards.
Otherwise, how could Luo Ye have acted so realistically last ti when Noda Hikari was up to no good, although her skills were decent, she couldn’t evade all kinds of intoxicants and poisons. Of course, even with this amulet, she couldn’t afford to be careless, and would try her best to avoid them, just in case there were so drugs the yellow jade couldn’t recognize, she didn’t want to end up humiliated.
In a flash, only Luo Ye and Qiao Xiaowan remained standing in the room.
"Why are you unhard?" Qiao Xiaowan asked, astonished.
"And how did you end up with those things?" Luo Ye snorted, "As for Officer Bai, that’s impossible!"
"You... you actually drugged us, how despicable!" Qiao Xiaowan said, slumping down to the ground, just as the door opened and Officer Bai walked in.
...
While Luo Ye and Qiao Xiaowan were causing a scene, Ye Mo was sitting angrily in Minister Qin’s office, unable to comprehend why they would throw Luo Ye into jail indiscriminately for 10 billion?
Foreign investnt to revitalize the economy is important, but don’t citizens’ human rights matter too?
Now the contract is signed, and Old Ye Tian and that Monique have annotated in the agreent that Luo Ye must stay in prison for a year, otherwise, even if the Chinese side breaches the contract, the other party can not only withdraw their investnt but also demand a penalty.
Even if Luo Ye herself agrees to be jailed, the higher-ups shouldn’t have consented!
Minister Qin smiled wryly, advising: "Little Ye, so matters need to be considered from the bigger picture, Xiao Luo doing this won’t be forgotten by the country, she won’t have a stain and will have achievents.
You might not grasp the economic aspects, so let put it this way, it seems like a 10 billion investnt, but potentially it could be 100 billion, 1000 billion, or even more.
Post-financial crisis, foreign economies suffered heavily, while China’s economic model carries relatively less risk, so a large portion of foreign businesses want to invest in China, yet they worry about Chinese policies being unfavorable, keeping them in a holding pattern.
This ti, with the Yodan Family and L.L. Group leading the way, then I don’t need to say more about what follows, do I? As for Xiao Luo, staying inside for a year will result in her gaining rits and elevating ranks, and fundantally she won’t lose anything.
In peaceti, how difficult is it to earn rapid promotions? I’d bet other team mbers would jump at such a chance, wouldn’t they? Also, regarding this matter, the leaders have spoken with the Wen Family.
Grandpa Wen is open-minded, supporting his granddaughter’s choice, Secretary Wen also stated he’ll follow organizational arrangents, Little Ye, with her family saying such, why are you involved in this? If this matter is leaked by soone with ill intentions, it would be very disadvantageous for you, you know what I an, right?"
"Grandpa Wen really said that?" Ye Mo looked incredulous.
"Do I dare lie about this?" Minister Qin shook his head, "At my level, I wouldn’t dream of opposing the Wen Family, would I?"
Ye Mo’s face was tense: "No matter what, I can’t accept it, our country’s economy needs to develop, but not on this kind of foundation, can it? Even if Luo Ye cos out and gains rits, what will others think? Those in the know will say she sacrificed herself for the greater good, while those uninford? With her background being so extraordinary, don’t you think?"
Minister Qin wore a pained expression: "Little Ye, don’t make things hard for , please."
"Ye Mo, there’s no need to say more, this isn’t Minister Qin’s fault."
"When did you get back?" Ye Mo turned around, stunned for a mont, looking complex at Ye Xuan who was walking in with long strides, "Even you support her in doing this? Tell honestly, is it true?"
