Chapter 176: Too Busy to Bother with You
At the designated location, they rendezvoused with Little Liu and the others. Today, they were not acting as plainclothes police officers; instead, they wore unified uniforms and traveled in unified vehicles!
Inside the car, Yang Fan and Huo Xinxi had already changed into their clothes...
"Sister Xi, Yang Fan!"
Little Liu and the others exchanged glances. Who didn't know by now that Yang Fan and Huo Xinxi were married?
They really had tied the knot, and as for the rumor that Yang Fan had married several wives—well, the civil affairs system couldn't control that, and they certainly had no authority to interfere either.
All they cared about was Yang Fan and Huo Xinxi. As long as these two could find their happily ever after, everyone present was, after all, part of the team Huo Xinxi had nurtured and led!
"How is everyone? The New Year is almost upon us, and you've all picked up your holiday benefits, right?" Yang Fan asked with a smile. Those benefits had been delivered to the SWAT team by Third Brother Liu Haoyu and the others.
These people, fighting on the front lines, were the true heroes of society!
"Yang Fan, we all want to thank you!"
"Why stand on ceremony? Oh, right, there are also some high-end smartphones. They are gifts I prepared for all your wives, sisters-in-law, and brothers-in-law. These are presents from me, so none of you better embezzle them!"
"Mm, they're in my car. Everyone can collect them later and have a wonderful New Year!" Huo Xinxi smiled.
"Sister Xi, our SWAT team has practically become the wealthiest department now!" Little Liu chuckled bitterly, and the others wore eccentric expressions as well.
"What's wrong with that? Who says our SWAT team can't have a wealthy benefactor among us? Right, you flashy tycoon!" Huo Xinxi playfully kicked Yang Fan.
"Am I flashy? I'm clearly very handsome!"
"Alright, let's talk business!" Huo Xinxi suddenly turned serious.
Everyone immediately stood at attention.
After Huo Xinxi gave her instructions, everyone boarded the vehicles.
The location was not far from CC Hotel, and they arrived in just three minutes. Everyone was thoroughly experienced in operations of this kind.
They stepped out of the cars and entered together!
"Police!"
The front desk staff were startled—though it was merely a shock, as it had nothing to do with them, and furthermore, their establishment did not engage in illicit prostitution services!
Whatever issues the guests had were the guests' own business.
"Routine check. All guests have their ID cards registered, right?" Little Liu asked.
"Yes!" the receptionist replied.
"Good. Go upstairs and check room by room. It's the end of the year, so everyone be thorough!"
"Understood!"
Led by their respective squad leaders, the teams began inspecting the hotel floor by floor!
Yang Fan and Huo Xinxi headed straight for the sixth floor!
"Police! Please open the door, room inspection!"
This refrain echoed across every single floor!
On the third floor, Third Brother, Zhou Ya, and Zhang Xin欣 were sharing the same bed and heard the commotion outside!
Before they could even react, the door was flung open!
"I—I'll confess, I'll confess! I'll have my boss bail me out!"
Zhou Ya and Zhang Xinxi hurriedly pulled the covers over their heads, while Third Brother was completely naked.
Yang Fan had just reached the third floor when he heard Third Brother's voice. Since the SWAT officers actually recognized Third Brother, they were about to move past, but upon hearing his voice, Yang Fan stepped inside.
"Boss!"
"You're here too," Yang Fan remarked.
"Boss, are you here to check up on me?" Upon seeing that it was Yang Fan, Third Brother calmly put on his clothes.
"I don't have that kind of idle time. Go back to whatever you were doing!" Yang Fan said, pulling the door shut for him.
Down the hall, Director Sun was also staying here, equally caught off guard when the SWAT officers suddenly broke in. Upon recognizing an acquaintance, they simply glanced at him and backed out.
Well, Director Sun could be considered an insider—someone trusted by Yang Fan, whom everyone remembered.
Although Director Sun worked for Jing Tian, he felt a deeper affinity for Fan Mei than for Jing Tian!
"Is everything alright?" a young actress on the bed asked tremblingly. Once exposed, she would be all over the headlines tomorrow!
"It's fine. It must be whatever business my Boss is handling. Let me make a call and ask!"
Yang Fan's call connected, and after chatting for a few moments, Director Sun hung up.
"It's all good, don't worry!"
"Director Sun, are you talking about the president of Jing Tian?"
"What kind of boss is he to me? Does he even deserve it? My boss is thousands of times better than him!"
Yang Fan smiled bitterly. Was this place a blessed sanctuary, or why did they all choose to rent rooms here?
The sixth floor consisted of suites. Holding the room card obtained from the front desk, Yang Fan directly opened the door!
Inside the room, Jiang Tao was playing games naked with five beautiful women!
"What do you think you're doing? Police!" shouted the person next to Yang Fan. The scene was utterly too obscene to behold!
"Get lost, you petty cop! With a single phone call, I can make you—"
Jiang Tao started yelling as he turned his head, and his face instantly turned pale.
"What can you do with a single phone call?"
Jiang Tao hurriedly scrambled onto the bed...
Among the five women, one girl looked at Yang Fan in utter disbelief.
"Yang Fan?"
Following the voice, Yang Fan looked over and froze instantly.
"I..."
Who could this be if not Liu Qian? Hadn't she been given a villa and a bar so she could live a decent life?
"Why are you here?" Yang Fan asked. Since he hadn't activated the Heavenly Net Eye, he genuinely had no idea who was staying in this hotel.
There was not a shred of shame on Liu Qian's face. Some people were simply like that—even while acting as a mistress, they still felt superior.
"Yang Fan, I really didn't expect to run into you here! And you've become a policeman!"
Of course, Liu Qian had no idea that it was Yang Fan who had helped her. Third Brother hadn't told her, and Liu Qian didn't even know who Third Brother was.
It had been a fleeting encounter where Third Brother had merely left behind the paperwork for the villa and the bar, along with a sum of money!
"Put on your clothes and leave quickly!"
"I'm not leaving at all! The one who should leave is you. Young Master Jiang can make you lose your job with just a phone call. And let me warn you, don't go running your mouth when you get home, or else I guarantee you won't survive in Tianning!"
Yang Fan let out a heavy sigh. What he couldn't understand was whether human hearts changed as people grew up.
Was human greed truly as insatiable as a snake attempting to swallow an elephant? Abandoning a good life, even when guided onto the righteous path, she still chose to be someone else's plaything.
No, not even a mistress—Liu Qian didn't even qualify to be Jiang Tao's mistress; she was at best a plaything.
Yet, he genuinely wondered where Liu Qian got the confidence to think she could make him lose his job, when Jiang Tao himself didn't even dare to make a peep!
"Get out! Remember, keep your mouth shut, or I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Liu Qian suddenly chuckled and said, "Though for a petty cop like you to come to Tianning and end up like this... I really feel like calling our former classmates so they can see your pathetic state. And to think you used to brag to them about how well you were doing in Tianning!"
Little Liu behind him was about to flare up—she was the one in the wrong, yet she had the nerve to act so arrogant! Yang Fan stopped him.
"Captain Liu, why don't you all step outside first?"
"Yang Fan, a person like her, she..."
"It's fine. Everyone has their own mindset. Here!" Yang Fan directly stripped off his SWAT uniform and handed it to the young female officer behind him. "Sis, hold this for your brother for a moment. You guys head outside first!"
Little Liu waved his hand, and the others retreated outside.
"What? Are you begging us not to let Young Master Jiang cost you your job? In that case, I really am going to make that call!"
"If you're going to call, put on your clothes and go outside to do it. I don't have time to deal with you," Yang Fan said coldly.
