Chapter 99: Cui E's Invitation

  Bang.

  The little thief was directly knocked down by Wang Haodong, rolled over several times, and crashed into a vegetable stall, turning all kinds of vegetables upside down.

  The thief struggled to get up and wanted to run, but Wang Haodong jumped up again, his knee pressed against the thief's chest. Wang Haodong knew his limits and wouldn't kill him, just applying enough force to knock him to the ground and render him unable to escape.

  Wah wah wah.

  The thief couldn't get up this time, lying on the ground, clutching his chest and wailing loudly, with a painful expression on his face.

  Wang Haodong hated thieves the most in this life, without saying a word, he went forward and slapped his face with several loud slaps, followed by a vicious kick on his hand.

  Wah wah wah.

  The thief was even more miserable, opening his mouth to scream in agony. His hand was trampled by Wang Haodong until it was a bloody mess, and he howled like a slaughtered pig.

  Onlookers saw Wang Hao Dong's violence and gathered on one side to watch the excitement, occasionally discussing it.

  "Why hit people?"

  "What's going on?"

  "I don't know either, anyway it's just chasing and hitting, looks very brutal."

  "Violence!"

  "Hey kid, stop fighting, or things will get out of hand."

  An old lady came to persuade Wang Haodong, Wang Haodong saw that she was wearing clothes from a spice vendor and wasn't in cahoots with the thief, so he stopped scolding the thief and went forward to flip out the phone from his pocket.

  "Everyone watch out for this guy, he stole my wife's phone, I just bought it from the store less than twenty minutes ago."

  "I didn't hit him for no reason, got it?" Wang Haodong held up his phone and said to the crowd. At this time, Xiao Yufen came running over, panting, and asked if anything was wrong.

  Wang Haodong knew she was afraid of getting hurt, smiled and said it's okay, then took the plastic bag from her hand, pulled out the phone box inside, and everyone believed what he said, accusing the thief.

  "So he's a thief, deserves a beating."

  "With hands and feet, why can't you do something good, but instead become a thief, how despicable."

  A middle-aged man indignantly said: "I went to the city yesterday and was robbed by a pickpocket. The money I had prepared to buy a computer for my child was all stolen. How despicable! Even killing such scum would be too lenient."

  "You want to hit, just hit, I have no opinion." Wang Haodong said with a smile, and indeed someone came forward and kicked the thief hard, making the thief even more miserable.

  "Know when to stop."

  Wang Haodong smiled and finished, took out his mobile phone to call Chen Yue, told her about the situation here, and it happened that she was on duty today. She received the call and said she would come over immediately.

  Chen Yue arrived in over ten minutes, saw the crowd beating the thief, and hurriedly pulled them apart. When she saw the thief's face covered in blood, she couldn't help but frown, "How can you use such violence?"

  "The police, thieves are no good things, we didn't kill him, humph." The middle-aged man who lost his money was still grumbling.

  "Thieves, if you catch them, just catch them, don't take the law into your own hands. Otherwise, it's illegal behavior." Chen Yueyi said sternly, and those people didn't argue with her. After all, the law doesn't blame the crowd, and beating him a few times would be in vain anyway. Who let him be a thief?

  Chen Yue walked up to the thief, took a look at his injuries, and saw that they weren't too serious, just his hand and nose were bleeding. He then handcuffed him and had Wang Haodong take him to the police station to make a statement.

  "I still have to buy groceries and cook." Such trivial matters, Wang Haodong didn't think much of going.

  "It won't take up too much time, let's go."

  Alright, since you've invited me so warmly, I'll give you some face. Wang Haodong nodded in agreement and turned to Xiao Yufen, saying: "Yufen, go get the dishes, I'm going to the police station with Officer Chen."

  "Alright, you go and come back quickly, I'll take the groceries and head home to cook."

  Wang Haodong nodded and reminded her to be more careful, so as not to have her phone stolen by other thieves again. Afterwards, he went with Chen Yue to the police station, bringing the thief along.

  Upon arrival, Wang Haodong saw an old acquaintance, Liu Cuie, Wu Bin's half-sister. She was carrying a black bag, wearing sunglasses, leaning against a red sedan at the police station entrance, smoking a cigarette.

  Chen Yue stopped the police car and stuck her head out to ask: "Cui E, how did you get here?"

  "Xiao Yue, I have something to ask you." Liu Cui'e's gaze swept over the two of them, but she only spoke to Chen Yue, without even acknowledging Wang Haodong, which made him feel displeased.

  Chen Yue nodded, the car drove into the police station, and handed over the thief to another policeman for disposal. Wang Haodong was also taken away to make a record. After the record was finished, he walked out of the office and found that Liu Cuier had disappeared. The red sedan was no longer at the gate of the police station either.

  Has this big-breasted girl left?

  Wang Haodong muttered to himself, looked at the time and found it was already 12 o'clock in the afternoon, so he decided to leave the police station and go home for lunch.

  Wang Haodong.

  Upon hearing Chen Yue's voice, Wang Haodong turned his face around. She walked out of the office and stood in front of him, saying: "The case has been handled, you can go back now."

  "Alright, I'm hungry, let's head back."

  "There's a woman waiting for you at home, so I won't invite you out to eat. Bye."

  Chen Yue wants to invite me to dinner? Hey, are you intentionally teasing me?

  Wang Haodong muttered to himself, deliberately standing still on the spot, saying: "Just now my woman called me and said she had something to do and went out. There's no one at home to cook, Officer Chen, since you've already said it, let's just have you treat me instead. After all, I've helped you police with many things, such as catching thieves, fighting bandits, solving cases, and that's also considered a meritorious deed."

  "Are you still running a dye shop after I've given you some color?" Chen Yue hummed, "I can treat you to dinner, but you have to pay."

  You're inviting me out but I'm paying? What kind of invitation is this? Wang Haodong said bluntly, "In that case, I'd rather go eat by myself and save some money."

  "Alright, go back, I don't have time to chat with you." Chen Yue said, turning around, feeling very annoyed. Waiting for someone to invite me out to eat, and they're all so eager, but you're not even happy about it? You think you're so great, I'm not going to eat with you anyway.

  "Alas, people these days, the world is in decline, and human hearts are no longer what they used to be."

  "What's with the sour expression?" Chen Yue furrowed her brow and turned to say, "I heard you opened a bar?"

  "This woman is well-informed, ah," Wang Haodong laughed and said: "Are you going to sing now? You didn't tell me before that I shouldn't take the dark path, but instead take the proper road. I was moved by you and plan to do some small business. It hasn't opened yet, just in these few days. Officer Chen, you must come and support me when the time comes."

  "I'll definitely go if I have the chance, bye."

  Looking at her back, Wang Haodong thought, when you come, I will definitely get you drunk, see if you can still be arrogant in front of me.

  Muttering to himself, Wang Haodong strode southward out of the gate.

  Drip, drip, drip, drip.

  A horn sounded from behind, Wang Haodong turned his head to look, a red Mazda sedan, with a streamlined body and a dazzling feeling. Hmm, the license plate number is familiar! When the car drove up beside him, he found that Liu Cuie was sitting inside.

  Liu Cuie is really a rich person, previously driving a motorcycle worth tens of thousands of yuan, this time driving a sedan, a typical rich woman. However, thinking about her father's assets worth hundreds of millions, Wang Haodong felt relieved.

  Liu Cuie's father has already died in a car accident, and the property left behind will definitely be given to future generations. Although Liu Cuie is not a son, she can still get a lot of money, plus she has her own ability to make money, so her family is quite well-off.

  Creak.

  The car stopped beside Wang Haodong. Liu Cuie stuck out her head, removed the frog mirror and asked, "Great hero, have you made a good record?"

  "A great hero?" Wang Haodong raised an eyebrow, isn't it just catching a little thief, can be considered a great hero?

  Wang Haodong nodded and said, "Beauty, something's up?"

  "Can't you find me for nothing?" Liu Cuie smiled and pointed at her car, saying: "Get in."

  Wang Haodong has always been unable to refuse the invitation of a beauty, let alone that he had some good feelings towards Liu Cuie, as well as certain thoughts, so he jumped up and got on the car with a flourish, his movements quick and nimble.

  "Do you smoke?" Liu Cuie said, handing a box of Soft Chinese cigarettes in front of Wang Haodong.

  Wang Haodong took it over without hesitation, lit it up and puffed on it, letting the expensive smoke swirl in his lungs before exhaling a mouthful of smoke.

  "Good smoke." Wang Haodong nodded in approval.

  "I just felt like you had some hostility towards me." Liu Cuie turned her face to ask Wang Haodong, "Is it because of Wang Kai's matter?"

  "No." Wang Haodong shook his head, pursed his lips and said: "The matter of Wang Kai, with the police intervening, will give him justice. I don't need to say more about this. Even if I have hostility, it's towards your younger brother, not you."

  "I may not be involved in some of his dealings, but I also think that hiring someone to kill, has nothing to do with him. If he wants to take down Wang Kai, with his means and strength, he can do it openly and honestly, without having to go through the trouble of finding a hitman."

  "That's not necessarily true."

  Wang Haodong shook his head, "He came in a straightforward and aboveboard manner, he might also get hurt or lose his life. If he secretly finds an assassin, he can stay out of it, but what he didn't think of was that when the assassin and Lai Zi were making the deal, they secretly took pictures."

  Liu Cuilian sighed, "I know about this too, but I didn't come to find you today to discuss these things."

  "What can I do for you?"

  "This isn't a place for conversation, and it's already noon, so I'll just invite you to lunch instead."

  Wang Haodong smiled and said: "Alright, you invite me out and I'll pay."

  Liu Cuilian was shocked and asked: "Why?"

  Wang Haodong took another drag on his cigarette and flicked the butt outside, smiling: "I owe you a meal previously, I'll make it up to you this time."

  "So you still remember, okay, then I'll treat and you pay." Liu Cuie put on her sunglasses, started the car, and headed towards Yuanzhai.

  Lin Yuan Town, apart from Wu Bin's Taoyuan Entertainment Club, doesn't have any high-end hotels. Since Liu Cuie didn't choose her own store, going to the Garden Inn is a pretty good choice.

  "I've heard something about your father."

  Liu Cuie interrupted Wang Haodong's words, "The funeral has been arranged."

  "Anyway, Wang Kai also had an accident that day, otherwise I would have gone to pay my respects."

  Wang Haodong was also telling the truth, but at that time Wang Haodong was a bit entangled. If he went, it would be to save face by treating Liu Cuie as a friend. Not going could also be justified, after all Wu Bin had a grudge against them, so he was entangled.

  "Thanks for your kind intentions." Liu Cuie pinched the center of her eyebrows, "The heavens have unpredictable winds and clouds, people have calamities and blessings, that's the true portrayal of my past few days, sigh."

  "Everyone has one death, can't avoid it." Wang Haodong saw that she was in a heavy mood, glanced at her super-large and plump chest, and changed the subject: "Has your club opened yet?"

  "Temporarily closed, reopening in three days. Otherwise, I'll take you to my home restaurant for a meal. After all, the fat water doesn't flow into another person's field."

  "You're quite good at doing business."

  He smiled and said, "I also opened an entertainment place."

  Liu Cuilian burst out laughing and said: "I've heard that the Song family is the first family in town, you really have a good eye for things."
