Xu Cheng shook his head. "It's fine, it's been a long time. I will pay you at the bank tomorrow."
"It's fine." Shen Yao said, "I don't need that bit of money, and I was planning to ask you to pay it back with interest. But seeing the situation of this family, just take it as me helping them out of compassion."
Shen Yao glanced at Xu Cheng. "It's not like I don't want you to pay it back for free. But, in the future, you can't use your identity as the landlord to make things difficult for people, especially Ran Jing."
"I'm not making things difficult for people, I just thought that you beautiful women are all arrogant and think that men should pay for your looks. But I apologize to the two of you, I misunderstood, "Xu Cheng said.
Shen Yao said indifferently, "No, you are right. Beautiful women always think that men should pay for their beauty, so every woman will spend their entire life trying to show off their most beautiful side. Those who aren't born with good looks can only go for plastic surgery. That's how society is. But you reminded me, and it was also you who made me feel like I'm being a bit pretentious. "
Then, Shen Yao turned around and looked at Xu Cheng in confusion. "Tell me the truth, am I not attractive to you at all?"
Xu Cheng replied, "How should I put this? It's not that you aren't pretty, it's just that you're not my cup of tea. "
Shen Yao laughed. "Then why are you being so hard on me?"
Xu Cheng awkwardly smiled. "Um … That's a bit awkward."
Shen Yao snorted. "Even if you like me, you're not my cup of tea."
Then, she asked Xu Cheng curiously, "Do you have a girlfriend or someone you like?"
Xu Cheng paused for a moment, and Shen Yao smiled. "You don't need to answer. I can tell from your hesitant look that you have someone you like. It's not hard to explain why you don't fawn over me and Ran Jing like other guys. "
Xu Cheng just smiled and didn't delve into the topic.
Just then, the phone in his pocket rang. After he picked up, an anxious voice came from the other side of the phone. "Xu Cheng? Something happened to Zhang Ruian. "
"What happened?" Xu Cheng frowned.
"I've been trapped." The other colleague on the other side of the phone sighed. "When he was on duty, he saw a wallet. Eh, I don't know what to say, but I feel like it's a trap. The people who took him away seem to be from West Gate. Anyway, just stay in the clubhouse and think about what to do."
"Okay, I'll be right back." Xu Cheng hung up the phone and was about to go downstairs. Shen Yao followed behind him and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Let's go back to the station," Xu Cheng said.
Shen Yao saw that he was anxiously waiting for a taxi on the side of the road, so she said, "There aren't many taxis at night. I'll go get my car. Where are you going? I'll give you a ride."
Xu Cheng didn't refuse. When he arrived at the station, a few colleagues on the night shift were already anxiously pacing back and forth. When he came in, the three of them immediately surrounded him.
"What's going on? How dare the people of West Gate take him away? Are they trying to rebel? "Xu Cheng said in a deep voice as soon as he came in.
One of the colleagues who just called him frowned and said, "Actually, Old Zhang didn't say anything about this either."
The other two nodded and sighed. "It's not easy. Old Zhang found a wallet when he was on duty, and there was a lot of cash inside. We didn't know about it at first, and Old Zhang didn't tell us either. He didn't turn it in either, and in the end, he was caught and taken away. How do you think we should deal with this? Old Zhang is also at fault. "
Xu Cheng frowned. "Are you sure it was West Gate?"
The three nodded. "We went there together, we're sure."
Xu Cheng sighed. "How much money was in the wallet?"
"A hundred thousand."
Xu Cheng thought that it wasn't a lot, but it wasn't a small amount either. Especially for a patrol officer like Zhang Ruian, it was indeed a windfall. Everyone was a little greedy, and people weren't saints. Police officers were also ordinary people. If they could find money without breaking the law and out of luck, very few people would be willing to hand it over. One had to admit that the people from West Gate used this flaw in human nature to frame Zhang Ruian, but Xu Cheng felt like they were targeting him.
It was probably because they couldn't find him in the big Shangcheng, so they decided to use his colleagues as a target for Xu Cheng to see.
"You guys go on patrol and do whatever you need to do. I will go take care of this," Xu Cheng said to the three of them.
That was all they could do for now.
After Xu Cheng changed into his police uniform, he rode his motorcycle and sped off.
Shen Yao followed behind him and muttered, "This b * stard forgot about me again."
She started the car and followed Xu Cheng to West Gate's casino.
When Xu Cheng came in in his police uniform, he was stopped by a security guard. Without saying anything, he grabbed the guard's arm and threw him down the stairs. The other guard immediately didn't dare to stop him and allowed Xu Cheng to visit the casino for the second time in a day.
Shen Yao coughed and purposely stepped on his palm with her high heels. Then, she cutely said, "Oh, sorry about that."
Then, she ran up the stairs and followed Xu Cheng into the casino.
When the 200 or so guests inside saw a police officer, they immediately became vigilant. After all, gambling was prohibited in other parts of the country, so they forgot that this was a legal casino. When they saw Xu Cheng, they all frowned. However, when they saw that there was only one police officer, they didn't mind and continued gambling.
Xu Cheng directly came to the booth where the manager was. Zhang Ruian was tied up and kneeling there. Xu Cheng looked at the manager and said with a serious face, "Let go of my colleague."
The manager casually said, "I admit that the way I treated Yang Congxia gave you something to use against me, but this police officer stole something from us, and it wasn't a small amount either. 100,000 yuan. This counts as theft."
"I didn't steal it, I just picked it up," Zhang Ruian shouted.
"Shut up." The manager glanced at him, and his subordinates immediately sealed his mouth. Then, the manager looked at Xu Cheng and said, "You don't have to deal with this anymore, right?"
"Aren't you guys here for me? Now that I'm here, what do you want? "Xu Cheng said.
"You also know that we're here for you?" At this moment, one of his subordinates went into the office and called out a middle-aged man. It was another shareholder of this casino. That Master Qin from before already went to the hospital for a checkup, and the 20 or so security guards all went to the hospital as well. A new group of people was transferred over from West Gate's security company.
"I'm very curious about who dared to beat up Old Qin, and whether or not he knows the rules of Shangcheng. After seeing you, I understand. Turns out you're just a young and arrogant person." The middle-aged man played with the steel balls in his hand, looked at Xu Cheng in disdain, and said, "You want to take away your colleague? Sure, we'll do it according to our rules. If you win, you can take him away. Of course, if you lose, you will also be punished according to our rules. "
Zhang Ruian's mouth was sealed, but his pupils widened as he heard the middle-aged man's conditions. He desperately shook his head, trying to persuade Xu Cheng not to agree.
Xu Cheng frowned. "You want me to bet with you?"
"That's right." The middle-aged man said, "We run a casino, and if you want to take him away, you have to follow the rules here. Of course, if you want to make a big deal out of this, it's not impossible to bring those police officers here to take him away. But, we will pressure your police station to deal with this guy based on his crime of theft. The minimum penalty is 10 yuan. "
Xu Cheng came personally because he didn't want Zhang Ruian to have any stains on his record or lose his job because of these people. It seemed like he had to agree to this request.
