Super Soldier King

“You… what are you looking at me like that for?’ Wang Yu asked diffidently.

“Yatou, why are you being so good to me?” Ye Qian smiled with a dubious expression.

“W-what, this is just my duty as a police officer,” Wang Yu replied meekly, “Alright, your statement has been recorded. In the meantime you can’t leave the police station. My colleague will be here in a while to take you into the detention room.” After saying this, Wang Yu left in a flurry, seeming extremely nervous for some reason. When she passed through the door she unexpectedly hit her head on the doorframe. She left while rubbing her head.

“Pu-chi!” Ye Qian couldn’t help laughing out loud. He didn’t notice before but this yatou was very cute.

After leaving the interrogation room, Wang Yu hastily packed up her things and went home. Obviously, Ye Qian’s case was a frame-up.

“Xiao Yu is home!” Wang Yu had just entered the room when Wang Ping, who was seated on the sofa reading the paper, saw her and exclaimed.

Note: Xiao means small, usually prepended to names as an affectionate nickname

“So tired.” Wang Yu changed her clothes and put down her bags, then brattily sat down beside her father on the sofa and said, “Pa, I have a something to ask you.”

“Oh? What is it?” Wang Ping smiled benevolently at her and replied.

“Something very strange happened today. Before I left to arrest a murder suspect, our chief uncharacteristically told me that if the suspect resisted arrest we could shoot him. With my chief’s disposition, he would never make this type of command. So I felt that somebody from the top pressured him, or perhaps he ate something disagreeable. Pa, do you have any news?” Wang Yu asked.

“Oh? Something like that happened?” Wang Ping knitted his brows and asked, “What is the name of the murder suspect?”

“Ye Qian, security guard of Tian Ya Conglomerate,” Wang Yu replied.

“And who is the victim?” Wang Ping asked.

“An ordinary staff of the Bureau of Justice. His girlfriend Xu Ya Ying is from the Family Planning Bureau. From our investigation, a few days ago in an establishment called the “Bewitched” bar, Ye Qian and the victim had a fight. The victim’s girlfriend also said that she saw Ye Qian kill him with her own eyes,” Wang Yu replied. “At the time, Ouyang Tian Ming and other sons of officials were also present at the scene of the crime. Aside from Ouyang Tian Ming, the rest of them had been beaten by Ye Qian.”

“Oh?” Wang Ping looked blankly. He naturally knew who Ouyang Tian Ming was. He was the son of his political rival. The young master Ouyang of the Four Young Masters in Shanghai. The people who dared to cross him were few. Wang Ping had a vague feeling that this matter was related to Ouyang Tian Ming somehow. If that were the case, this was an opportunity for him to strike a winning blow against Ouyang Cheng. The municipal community election was coming up soon and the only person that could compete with him was Ouyang Cheng. If he were really the mastermind behind the scenes, then this was a case of going against the law for relatives. His chances of winning would become much bigger. But what Wang Ping couldn’t understand was that security guard who dared to fight Ouyang Tian Ming. Was he stupid or did he have some sort of backing that made him confident? “Do you believe that that Ye Qian is being framed? Do you have any proof?” Wang Ping asked.

“None. I also asked him if he had any witnesses to corroborate his location at the time of the murder and he said there weren’t any, but I feel like he is hiding something. I explained the situation to him very seriously but he seemed to not care at all,” said Wang Yu. When Ye Qian was brought up Wang Yu felt indignant. That fellow was completely uncaring about his own safety, hmph!

Wang Ping watched his daughter with some astonishment, then asked as if he was sensing something, “Xiao Yu, are you acquainted with that youngster Ye Qian?”

“Of course I’m acquainted with him. If that hoodlum turned to ash I’d still recognize him. The first time I met him he deliberately went against me, then later when we got back to the precinct he…” When her words reached this point, Wang Yu suddenly stopped. In her moment of excitement, she almost blurted out the incident of Ye Qian taking liberties with her in the police station. When she saw that Wang Ping had an ambiguous smile on his face Wang Yu responded like a child throwing a tantrum, “Dad, we’re talking about the case right now. Don’t change the subject.”

“Right, the case, the case, haha.” Wang Ping laughed. When he heard Wang Yu speak this way he suddenly felt very curious about Ye Qian. Did this young man really have a huge backing? How else could he be so arrogant? After a while, Wang Ping said, “Xiao Yu, do you know if Ye Qian has any sort of supporter? What’s his household like?”

“He’s an orphan, he was adopted and raised by a garbage collector when he was young. Eight years ago he left Shanghai then returned. I couldn’t find out where he was and what he did in those eight years during my investigation. Right, last time when he beat up the boss of a Shan Xi mining company that came to invest in China, after Ye Qian was arrested, the chief of the public security bureau Li Hao unexpectedly came to personally have him released. He also called him ‘er ge’,” Wang Yu replied after thinking about it for some time.

Wang Ping knitted his brows. Li Hao, the chief of the public security bureau, was somebody he personally promoted to the position. He had heard from Li Hao that he was also raised by a garbage collector. Based on what Wang Yu said, Ye Qian must have grown up with Li Hao. If he wanted to know anything about Ye Qian, he only had to ask Li Hao. Thinking up to this point, Wang Ping said, “Xiao Yu, I have a feeling that this incident was caused by Ouyang Tian Ming with help from his father. Most certainly they have another step in their plans.”

“Dad, you’re the head of the municipal committee, you can’t not step in,” Wang Yu replied anxiously.

Wang Ping laughed, his eyes flashing, “As long as that fellow is really innocent, I will guarantee that nobody will be able give him injustice. Hmph, Ouyang Cheng, right now you are crushing your own foot while trying to outmaneuver a rock. At such a critical time you still dare to create such trouble.”

Wang Yu was a pure and naive girl, she didn’t understand politics very well. All she cared about was Ye Qian’s safety. Now that she heard her father’s promise she could finally relax, but she had to remain vigilant. Her father said that the enemy would most likely make another move. She couldn’t let Ye Qian come to harm under her watch.

“Dad, I’ll go take a bath now,” Wang Yu said, smiling in a carefree manner, then she trotted off.

Wang Ping put down the newspaper in his hands, muttering inaudibly to himself as he pulled out his phone. Even though it wasn’t certain that this matter would ruin Ouyang Cheng, he couldn’t let this opportunity pass. As long as he played his cards right, the municipal committee secretary position would be his.
