Upon hearing this, Qin Yiheng said meaningfully, "Taking his life directly would be too lenient on him."

"yes!"

Hongjiao agreed, then seemed to remember something. She said to Qin Yiheng, "Although I haven't had much contact with Chu Wei, I have a fairly good relationship with some of his subordinates. If I contact them, I might be able to get some information about Chu Wei..."

To completely defeat and crush someone, you must have plenty of resources at your disposal.

Hongjiao felt she could be of help, although if possible, she would prefer to kill Chuwei herself.

The thought of killing the enemy with her own hands was strongest in the hours after she woke up. At that time, she even thought about sneaking away to recover from her injuries and killing Chu Wei as soon as she was better.

But she overheard Leopard and Zhou Xu's conversation.

Because they had witnessed Qin Yiheng rescue Hong Jiao and arrange for her to enter Yinghao Pavilion, the two of them didn't completely hide their conversation from her.

She changed her mind.

Qin Yiheng was her benefactor, and her desire to repay his kindness was just as earnest as her desire for revenge; she couldn't let Qin Yiheng's plans be ruined.

And as it turns out, Qin Yiheng is indeed not a simple person.

With the world at his fingertips, he calmly said, "Now is not the time."

“I will listen to my benefactor. Please accept me as your apprentice.”

Qin Yiheng chuckled. Why are there so many people wanting to become his disciples these days? And all of them are top-notch. He would feel a pang of guilt if he were to refuse them.

However, at that moment, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

"Is this the place?"

"That's right, it looks like there should be someone here."

"Say it out, say it out."

"Open the door, is anyone there...?"

A group of people in uniforms, claiming to be from a property surveying unit, pointed and gestured at the entrance of the villa, saying that the villa was in violation of regulations and demanding that the homeowner come out to cooperate with their investigation.

"I am the owner of this house. Who are you people, and how have you broken the rules?"

A man stepped out and asked the uniformed men.

The man's name was Lao Bai. He used to be a member of the Black Tiger Gang. Now over fifty, he no longer had much interest in fighting and killing, but it was still nice for him to come and look at a house and take care of some things.

Before he went out to check, he specifically asked others to call the leopard immediately.

"You?" The leader's eyes were full of contempt, completely disbelieving. He shouted, "I'm looking for the head of the household, you're not. Bring out the real head of the household right now, the one whose name is... Qin Yiheng."

Old Bai narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly.

But when he spoke, his voice was still normal: "What happened? Tell me about it first."

The leader was getting annoyed, his tone tinged with exasperation: "I said I wanted to find the landlord, didn't you understand?"

At this moment, another person rushed out of the villa and whispered in Old Bai's ear, "Master Leopard said he'll be here soon."

Old Bai nodded knowingly, then continued to deal with the leader.

"You need to explain what happened so I can decide whether to tell the landlord. How am I supposed to know what you guys do?"

The leader flashed his ID with a "snap," but before he could even see whether it was black or white, he put it back.

"See this? It's the property surveying unit. Someone reported that the dimensions of the houses here are illegal and violate regulations. Stop talking nonsense and call the homeowner right now!"

"Who reported it?" Old Bai asked again.

Why does this person have so many questions? Is this guy a walking encyclopedia of questions?

The leader was about to start cursing when someone suddenly pulled him back.

One of the uniformed men recognized Leopard and overheard some of their conversation. The more he thought about it, the more something seemed off, so he whispered a few words to the leader.

The leader immediately widened his eyes, and after exchanging a few glances with the people next to him, he looked at Lao Bai again.

"Isn't this Qin Yiheng's house? Doesn't he live here?"

"Who said I'm not here? Aren't I right here?"

Just then, Qin Yiheng came out.

The leader was completely confused and quickly asked the person who had spoken earlier, "What exactly happened? Didn't you say you heard them mention leopards? Isn't Qin Yiheng the homeowner?"

The man who had just spoken was also confused; he stammered for a long time but couldn't come up with anything.

In their minds, they had already prejudged Qin Yiheng as the homeowner, and they even happened to see Qin Yiheng walking out of the villa. If he was just visiting, how could he be there by such a coincidence? Besides, Qin Yiheng isn't the type to just visit other people's homes!

Besides, their original task was to assist Qin Yiheng, not to address any real issues with the house.

"Maybe I'm mistaken, it's not a leopard..." the man muttered softly.

waste.

The leader cursed silently, then turned to Qin Yiheng with a righteous expression and said, "It's good that it's you. Then come with us. Your house is in violation of regulations. We need to have it inspected by the relevant departments."

Upon hearing this, Lao Bai and the others immediately objected.

"How can you say you only made one trip? You haven't explained why it's against the rules."

"That's right, this villa has been around for so many years, and nothing's ever happened. How can you just leave like that? Where are you going?"

"Who does he think he is, damn it..."

Troublemakers!

The leader could tell at a glance that these people were no good. Come to think of it, those who hung out with Qin Yiheng were all social cancers; otherwise, they wouldn't be so disliked.

"I'm telling you, don't obstruct official business, or I'll arrest you all." The leader was not intimidated at all.

Although he wasn't actually a staff member in the field, his family used to work in demolition, so he had a lot of experience dealing with these kinds of "stubborn people."

There's nothing to be afraid of in these people; just scare them a little and they'll be done.

However, the reality seems to be quite different from what he imagined.

Those two or three people were still shouting.

"Oh, you think I'm scared of you? Then go ahead and grab me, try grabbing me."

"It's not certain who will arrest whom yet, is it? I think you're just impersonating people from the relevant departments. Aren't you afraid of being punished?"

"You're really something, coming after us to cause trouble!"

The way things are unfolding is actually a bit off. If they were ordinary people, they wouldn't dare to disregard people in uniform like that, but what are they if not ordinary people?

A group of uniformed men felt deeply slighted and, consumed by rage, lost their minds and became preoccupied with arguing with the officers.

"I said I'm not listening to you anymore, take Qin Yiheng away!" the leader ordered. "Damn it, anyone who dares to disobey, punish them all and send them to jail..."

Several uniformed men behind him stepped forward upon hearing the commotion, attempting to forcibly seize Qin Yiheng. Lao Bai and his men also took two steps forward, and the two sides were clearly about to clash.

However, before the group of uniformed soldiers could even touch a single hem of anyone's clothing, let alone grab Qin Yiheng, they heard several "bangs!" followed by screams.

It was Hongjiao who took action.
