Chapter 926: Chapter 918: Agreed
As she kept thinking, she slowly fell asleep.
In her dream, she once again witnessed that scene from the night. Just as danger was approaching, Xiao Yifei appeared like a superhero, defeated Tao Ji, and took her to a place where only the two of them existed. From then on, they lived a happy life together.
The more beautiful the dream, the more disappointed she felt upon waking. In the middle of the night, Qian Huahua woke up and couldn’t fall back asleep. She didn’t know why she was so obsessed with Xiao Yifei. Truly letting go of someone from the bottom of your heart is not an easy thing. Although she said she was going to give up on Xiao Yifei starting tomorrow, the process of letting go was so difficult that just thinking about it made her feel bad. How did things end up like this?
Xiao Yifei actually felt quite uncomfortable too. Although the whole incident wasn’t directly related to him, he didn’t want things to get this way. Even though he was annoyed by Qian Huahua’s daily disturbances, she was still the daughter of Director Qian.
Moreover, from what Qian Huahua seemed to imply, it looked like she wanted to let the matter drop. She didn’t plan to report it to the police or let anyone else know about it. However, doing so would be too lenient on the person with bad intentions. If this isn’t dealt with, who knows how many more people he’ll harm in the future. Xiao Yifei didn’t want this matter to disappear without a trace. He wanted to persuade Qian Huahua to report it to the police the next day.
"Sir, I’m not very clear about the situation. Could you explain it to me in detail?" The hotel manager came over only after Xiao Yifei and Qian Huahua had left. Just from a glance, Tao Ji seemed like someone not to be messed with. Although the manager wasn’t exactly sure what had happened, he could more or less guess.
"Your waiter saw it earlier. I initially came to rescue my friend, but when I arrived, that guy beat me up. Your security took ages to get here. Tell me, isn’t this what you saw?" Tao Ji turned to the waiter and asked.
"I... I..." The waiter hesitated. The last sentence was clearly a warning not to talk recklessly! He didn’t know what to say. Clearly, this man in front of him was formidable. If he told the truth, there might be retaliation. But he couldn’t outright lie either!
"What do you mean ’I’? I’m telling you, that’s what you saw. No matter who asks, you say I was the victim. Do you understand?" Tao Ji said in a seemingly casual tone.
"Manager, I hope we can discuss this in your office now." noveldrama
"Sure, please follow me this way." The manager said as he led the way for Tao Ji.
"I don’t think I need to explain what just occurred. Naturally, someone will handle today’s incident. What you need to ensure is not to say a word." Tao Ji told the manager.
Since Tao Ji put it that way, the manager certainly understood what he needed to do next. With money and power, there’s nothing unachievable. Being a regular employee, even though he knew it was wrong, what else could he do? Mentioning ’justice’ under such tempting circumstances seemed laughable.
"Of course, I understand what to do next. Don’t worry, I won’t say an extra word." The manager said cautiously.
"Hello, is this 110? I’d like to report an incident. I was just assaulted at the Jinhua Hotel. I hope you can come quickly." Tao Ji took out his phone and called the Police Department.
Although it was late, the police arrived at the scene within 15 minutes of Tao Ji’s report. Tao Ji then recounted the incident, twisting the facts, and emphasized the lie about Xiao Yifei attempting to harm Qian Huahua.
The officer said, "This isn’t very serious at the moment. Since it’s nighttime, we’ll just file a preliminary report and take specific actions tomorrow morning."
"I’m not really in a hurry. I wasn’t severely harmed. I just hope you’ll give me a fair result." Tao Ji said.
Since ultimately no one was harmed and no property was lost, the investigators just took basic notes before leaving.
Returning home, Tao Ji then called someone. "Hello, Uncle Yang, it’s Tao Ji. You’re still awake, right? I encountered something and hope you can help me out."
"Knew you’d have no good reason for calling me this late. Speak up, as long as it’s within my capabilities, I’ll help you. After all, I owe your father a favor!"
Tao Ji explained the hotel incident to the person he called Uncle Yang. His final request was to make sure that night’s surveillance footage disappeared.
"You’re always causing trouble, you should be more careful doing such things. The surveillance isn’t a problem. I’ll have someone retrieve it now. But since you’ve already reported it, there’s nothing more I can do." The voice on the phone said.
"No need to worry about other things, Uncle Yang. I know what I’m doing. Just help me deal with the surveillance," Tao Ji said confidently.
Uncle Yang ended the call and sent his most trusted subordinate to the hotel to handle it. He was the largest investor in the hotel and had many dealings with Tao Ji’s father. He had watched Tao Ji grow up, a child who acted recklessly, relying on his wealthy family. He had seen many unruly kids like this, but Tao Ji was probably the worst.
The next morning, as soon as Xiao Yifei woke up, the police came knocking: "Are you Xiao Yifei? We received a report last night that you intentionally harmed someone and attempted to assault a woman. We need you to come to the Police Department with us."
Tang Rong, hearing sounds outside early in the morning, put on clothes and came out. Upon hearing the police mentioning something about Xiao Yifei committing harm, she said, "When did this happen? I wasn’t aware. You must be mistaken."
Tang Rong’s question was directed at the police because she trusted Xiao Yifei. He had come home last night without any sign of trouble and only mentioned issues at the hospital. How did things escalate to this?
"Rongrong, go back inside. I’ll speak with the police." With that, Xiao Yifei gently pushed Tang Rong back into the house.
"You should come with us first. We’ll discuss the details at the Police Department. We don’t know the specifics, but there was a report last night." The officer, seeing that Xiao Yifei didn’t seem like the type, spoke to him gently.
"Let me go inside and gather some things first." With that, Xiao Yifei went back inside to grab the things he needed for work. He knew it must have been that man from last night who reported it. Why do these things keep happening to me these years? Xiao Yifei thought to himself. Maybe I’m just prone to being framed.
