Gorgeous Female Tenants

Finally, Zeng Xianren came over looking all miserable, playing the pity card in front of Xu Xiangbei. He claimed he used every trick in the book, every hard and soft tactic, and finally managed to get the situation under control.

His friendship with Xu Xiangbei, it’s as clear as day and as radiant as the sun and moon!

Xu Xiangbei ignored all this and simply asked, "Where’s the money?"

Those two words left Zeng Xianren speechless for a long time, unable to continue.

Eventually, he reluctantly transferred 500,000 to Xu Xiangbei’s account.

"So, can I leave now?"

"Of course! Of course!" Zeng Xianren looked as though he was pardoned, eager to send the plague-like Xu Xiangbei out of the prison gates.

As soon as Xu Xiangbei stepped out, he noticed two beautiful sights standing across him; Qin Xue and Guo Lijun had been waiting for him all along.

"Two beautiful ladies, it’s getting late, how about I escort you home?" Xu Xiangbei looked at them, speaking with a cheerful smile.

"Just got out and already up to no good. You should be thrown back in, locked up longer to cure that ruffian attitude of yours!" Qin Xue’s face still bore a cold expression.

"Sure, go ahead, don’t be afraid later; we’re female ghosts, we’ll lure your soul!" Guo Lijun wasn’t fazed, she joked teasingly!

Meanwhile, she licked her sexy red lips, making Xu Xiangbei visibly stunned.

Xu Xiangbei spoke with deep affection: "Dying under the peonies would still be a romantic death! If you’re poison, I’m already ailing; if you’re truly female ghosts, my soul’s already yours; I’ll give you everything, my heart, myself, as long as you’re willing, take it all!"

"Fine, I want your life, go ahead and give it!" Qin Xue saw him like this, speechless, and sent a kick straight to his crotch, which Xu Xiangbei quickly dodged, laughing while grabbing the keys to his silver Porsche.

"Hey, who do you think is behind this incident?" Qin Xue sat in Xu Xiangbei’s beloved car, feeling comfortable, continuously examining and exploring the interior.

"Your car is really great, the seats are all genuine leather, so smooth to the touch!"

"Of course, this is my girlfriend!" Xu Xiangbei looked smug.

"Oh, just add a bit of sunshine and you shine like a sunflower, calling it a girlfriend!" Qin Xue scoffed, clearly displeased with Xu Xiangbei’s smugness.

"Alright, the two of you never stop, I think the mastermind this time should be Zeng Xianren! Otherwise, how would they know we were dining at the Celestial Sea Hotel?" Guo Lijun chuckled seeing them bicker.

"Bingo, does this even need to be said? Hundred percent, it’s that brat, seeing my handsome face, impressive status, and righteous spirit.

He got jealous, so he wanted revenge, finding some amateurs to beat me up; should I call him naive or plain stupid?" Xu Xiangbei snapped his fingers, full of pride.

"Don’t accuse people without proof. Also, you, Xu Xiangbei, handsome? I really don’t see it, looks like you’re praising your own goods like a peddler! You call yourself righteous, in that case, there’s no bad guys left in the world!"

Qin Xue pouted, mercilessly hitting back.

Xu Xiangbei remained unfazed, with a mischievous grin: "Some people just envy, helping their so-called pursuers. Raising the status of the pursuers to elevate their own elegance. Yet, bugs remain bugs, how can they compare with a True Dragon like me?"

Qin Xue gritted her teeth, snapped: "What’s wrong with Captain Zeng? A man of style, charming, handsome and promising.

So young yet already a captain of the police investigation team, then look at you, Xu Xiangbei, idling around with a luxury car putting on airs everywhere you go, what can you compare with others? Bugs remain bugs, no matter how polished, can’t disguise themselves as dragons!"

"Oh, since he’s so great, why don’t you accept him? I see you looking at him with disgust. Oh, perhaps you think you’re not worthy?" Xu Xiangbei retorted, rendering Qin Xue speechless.

"You two, really, must have been sworn enemies in a past life. I also believe there’s a good chance Zeng Xianren was behind it, but in everything, evidence is key, especially for us in the police department, evidence is the priority." Guo Lijun, rarely speaking, thought quickly, obviously considering the causes and effects, looking for her so-called evidence.

"Right, Xu Xiangbei, without proof, don’t falsely accuse people here!" Despite Qin Xue’s suspicion that Zeng Xianren hired people, seeing Xu Xiangbei’s smug look made her change her tune.

"By the way, there’s something I haven’t told you. Know what Zeng Xianren really did in the interrogation room?" Xu Xiangbei smiled faintly, looking smug.

"He was in the interrogation room, did he really do something to you?" Guo Lijun and Qin Xue were shocked by his words.

"If not for you two, I suspect he might have dared to do something, but with you two waiting outside next door, he dared nothing, his only option was to play the fool."

"Play the fool?" Qin Xue looked puzzled, clearly not often hearing such a term.

"Ha! Ha! Exactly, once he came in, he started calling me brother, saying it was a tough situation only for me to dismantle it with a few words.

Then he suggested the matter would be best settled out of court, asking me for 200,000 to sort it out, otherwise, if it went to court, I could face more than ten years imprisonment!"

"His clever plan was well devised, yet this matter wasn’t your fault, you were purely defending yourself, and I saw the injuries were not severe.

Even if you did initiate, it’s merely compensating money, how could it lead to over ten years in prison? He’s just trying to extort money from you!" Qin Xue, furious.

"But for those uninformed about the law, they might fall for his tricks. How wise and mighty am I, already seeing through his schemes. So, I played along, saying I was willing to settle if they gave me 500,000."

"500,000? You really had the guts, unscathed, unbloodied, the ones harmed were others, and you dared to ask for 500,000, even 5000 is generous!" Qin Xue looked at Xu Xiangbei as if staring at an idiot.

"Initially, of course, he didn’t agree, trying to pull the emotion card, treating me as a good brother, but I wouldn’t budge, leaving him no choice but to resort to threats, yet I said I’d go to court and hire the best lawyer!" Xu Xiangbei paused.

"Then? Did he agree? That’s 500,000, cold hard cash, earning 500,000 just by talking?" Qin Xue was incredulous.

"Definitely, I bet if I’d asked for more, he’d have paid." Xu Xiangbei looked victorious.

"It’s clear he’s the one directing it behind the scenes, otherwise why would he fear the courtroom?" Guo Lijun concluded, analyzing the situation, certain that Zeng Xianren was the mastermind.

"But even if it goes to court, what difference does it make? At most, it’s attempted assault! Plus, Xu Xiangbei wasn’t injured, given Zeng Xianren’s connections, it would barely cost a thousand, why pay 500,000? That’s way too much!" Qin Xue found it hard to believe.

"Some things are worth far more than 500,000, like his future!" Xu Xiangbei commented, seeing through the situation clearly.

Qin Xue realized: Yes! Zeng Xianren, only in his 30s, holds a principal-level position, a city’s police investigation team captain, with no major mishaps and good connections, he will surely rise. However, a single mistake, and his promotion prospects weaken greatly.

"But even if we know he did it, we have no proof?"

"No proof, but there’s a witness!" Xu Xiangbei sounded mysterious.

"Who?"

"My soon-to-be brother-in-law..."

As he spoke, Xu Xiangbei made a turn, heading for a road leading to the police station.
