Chapter 33 - In and Out

Lao Bing was getting closer and closer to the truth. After obtaining the guest list of Ding Feng's birthday party and investigating after everyone was not knocked out, something worth investigating came into view.

One of the guests, namely Yan Yuiling, was first witnessed to have a confrontation with Ding Feng and later seemed to sleep at a table. Yet she wasn't there when everyone was knocked out shortly after.

Right now she was on her way back home, but tomorrow she would seek out Yan Yuiling to see if she knew something. In her opinion, the fact that both Ding Feng and Yan Yuiling had a conflict and weren't at the crime scene, while Ding Feng completely omitted their conflict, made her believe that something was to uncover there.

Suddenly her phone rang, and Lao Bing pulled to the site to take the call. A mass fight in a club? Why was she the closest to the crime scene?

Lao Bing had no choice; apparently a fight broke out within a club, and she had to be the one to resolve the situation.

Normally, a mass fight like that would require a lot of manpower, but since she had special powers herself, she was trusted to handle situations like that on her own.

She put a siren on her car and tried to arrive as fast as possible. 

Arriving at the club, she got out and headed through the unhappy crowd, held back by security.

"What is the situation inside?" she asked one of the club security while showing her badge.

"Only a woman?" The security guard couldn't hold back. "Ahem, some maniac is fighting with everyone from the security team after causing a ruckus and refusing to leave."

Lao Bing, used to such comments whenever she would be sent out alone, ignored the comment and headed inside without saying a word after receiving the location of the fight.

She wasted no time and ran towards the location to prevent more injuries. But as she walked onto the dance floor, the fight had already stopped.

She saw security guard upon security guard sprawled on the floor. 15 at least. Bumps and bruises covered their bodies, but no one seemed to be in a life-threatening situation. She didn't know why a nightclub had so much security staff, but that didn't matter for now.

Among the security guards, she also saw someone not wearing the security uniform who looked surprisingly uninjured yet still sleeping.

"Stop! Get away from me! You monster, what did you do?!" She heard someone scream and quickly ran towards the only people left standing.

A young man in fear, looking at the man and young woman opposite of him in fear. "Stop your action immediately!" Lao Bing shouted with authority.

"Officer, arrest these demons immediately!" Ling Chuse screamed.

"They killed these three men!" he screamed and pointed at three security guards, heavily injured and lying against the wall.

"Shut up! Nobody is allowed to leave!" Lao Bing didn't arrest the man and woman immediately but called an ambulance instead.

Then she turned towards the three people that were conscious. Surprisingly, although everyone else was down, all three of them were uninjured. Then she recognized Ling Chuse. 

Isn't that the one present at Ding Feng's party? Indeed, as she looked around more, this scene was somewhat similar to that incident. And Ling Chuse, once again, was unharmed.

"Officer! Arrest them!" Ling Chuse once again screamed. "They even stole my phone. Give it back, now!" 

That was his only chance. He needed the phone to be handed over to him to destroy the evidence. Then he would be without fault.

"Like I said, shut up for now! You, she pointed at Xiao Lan. Come here and talk about what happened."

She questioned Xiao Lao, Ling Chuse, and Yi one by one. Even though Ling Chuse wanted to destroy the evidence, his "tricks" obviously didn't work, and the truth was uncovered.

Lao Bing, annoyed by this young master, let other police officers take him into custody for now.

Yet, even though she got the answers, some things were left unclear or completely unanswered.

Both Xiao Lan and Yi said that someone unknown took out the last three bodyguards, someone they couldn't see, but Lao Bing felt like they were responsible.

While Yi Li fought, both of them acted relaxed. Yi, recorded a video and Xiao Lan, who almost got molested, just stood around in place. It just made no sense.

...

The next morning arrived. It was Saturday, and the common people enjoyed the freedom of the weekend.

Yan Yuiling, though in the middle of founding a company, had no such plans. She planned to work the entire day again. She just logged into her computer as she heard a knock on her door. 

Surprisingly, it was Yi, who normally never took the initiative to ask her something.

"Yan Yuiling, I found our first employee. Do we have a training ground to train him?" Yi asked.

"Ähm, well, I guess we do. One second." 

Yan Yuiling quickly rented out a training room within a gym. 

"Here is the address; the room is ours for the entire day. Try not to break stuff," she said before turning back to her work. As for who this employee was, she trusted Yi to find qualified people. 

His personality was good after all, and she was sure that he would only hire fitting people.

Yi Li, excited as he got the address, quickly packed his sports clothing and went towards the address. 

After changing in one of the provided changing rooms of the facility, he opened the door to a small gym room with a man standing in the middle of it.

Surprisingly, though, it was not Yi; it was an old man in weird robes, definitely not something he would do sports in.

"Hello, young one. My name is Xiao Li, and from now on your mind, body, and soul will belong to our company. If you are unhappy with that arrangement, you may leave now," he said and turned to look at Yi Li with sharp eyes.

Yi Li quickly turned around and left through the door.
