Chapter 255: Sacrifice if necessary
After entering the main hall, the three of them came to a secluded corner. Li Muhan and Officer Ma immediately turned around and glared at each other and spoke coldly.
"Who are you?"
"Which road are you from?"
Seeing that both sides wanted to know each other's background, Li Muhan immediately took the initiative.
"I just helped you in. You speak first."
“…Tsk.”
The man was a little unhappy, but what Li Muhan said was true, so he took out his ID again and handed it to Li Muhan.
"Beiyuan City Futong Street Police Station... Ma Jun, oh, you're a local police officer. From the tone of your voice just now, I thought you were the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade."
Li Muhan returned the certificate to Ma Jun with a smile.
"Whether I'm a local police officer or a criminal police officer, I'm a police officer. Okay, it's your turn. Who are you?"
Ma Jun looked at Li Muhan and Yin Qi coldly.
"Why don't you believe we are employees of the Huang Group?"
Li Muhan asked.
Ma Jun sneered and looked Li Muhan up and down.
"You're just a college student at best, looking like a baby, and you're still a manager. If you could become the manager of the Huang Group, I could be the director."
"Hey! Do you know how to talk? Why are you still insulting others?!"
Li Muhan was about to lose his temper when Ma Jun looked at Yin Qi.
"As for you..."
His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he saw a hint of something unusual from the girl.
"You're a killer, right?"
Yin Qi raised her eyes slightly and responded to Ma Jun's question with a cold gaze.
"Haha, I guessed right. This murderous aura and that flawless figure. Judging from your age, you should be a relic from before the destruction of the Cheshire Cat."
Swish——
A dagger was pressed against Ma Jun's neck. The girl's movements were so fast that only Li Muhan could see them clearly. However, Li Muhan did not try to stop her. Instead, he was very sensible and paid attention to whether anyone around noticed this side.
"Why do you know the name of the organization?"
Yin Qi said coldly.
"Hehe, I wasn't sure before, but now I'm sure. I didn't expect the Cheshire Cat still had kittens wandering around."
"Answer me, are you a remnant of the organization?"
"I? Someone from the organization? Bullshit! I've been investigating that organization my whole life just to save orphans like you, but you're already beyond saving. You've been branded a killer deep down. Now I can truly confirm that you're not employees of the Huang Group. I'm telling you, are you the ones who want to kill Huang Yujie?"
"How could a small policeman know about the organization?"
Yin Qi didn't believe him and moved the dagger in his hand closer.
"Little policeman? Your accomplice is right. I used to be the captain of the Beiyuan City Criminal Police Brigade. I was involved in the downfall of your organization. So, you want revenge for your organization?"
......
Yoongi stared into the man's eyes, as if trying to confirm whether what he said was true.
Finally, she cut the man's tie cleanly and neatly, and then put the dagger into her clothes.
"Fuck! This is my only tie! You little girl! What's wrong with your temper?!"
"Alright, alright, Officer Ma, stop arguing. If we get kicked out together, we won't be able to get back in."
Li Muhan looked at his mobile phone. It was already 8:30 in the evening. The banquet would start at 9 o'clock in the evening. At 11 o'clock in the evening, Huang Yujie would give a speech to express his condolences to everyone on behalf of the group company.
"We don't have time to waste now. We have to find Huang Yujie first."
"Wait a moment."
Ma Jun raised his hand to stop Li Muhan.
"You know my identity, but what about you? Who are you? From your tone, you're here to protect Huang Yujie, not to kill him. And you're not police officers. A college student and a petty killer—this combination is not common. I'm really curious."
"Just know that we are not your enemies."
Yin Qi gently pushed away Ma Jun's hand, and then said coldly: "I advise you to leave quickly. With your skills, it is impossible for you to protect Huang Yujie."
After saying that, Yin Qi gently pushed Li Muhan's back, and the two walked towards the elevator.
"Ah?! My skills! Kid! Don't look at me just because I'm old! Ouch!"
Ma Jun was just about to move when he realized that his belt had been cut at some point, and his pants fell down as soon as he took a step.
"Fuck, what a sharp knife! Luckily it only cut my belt...otherwise, I would have been permanently injured."
Li Muhan and Yin Qi walked into the elevator. After swiping their ID cards, the elevator displayed the 10th floor.
Just as the elevator was about to close, a hand suddenly grabbed the elevator door.
"Wait, wait a minute, I don't have an ID, I can't go up."
Ma Jun squeezed into the elevator while grabbing his pants.
“…”
Li Muhan glanced at Ma Jun helplessly, then persuaded him: "Uncle, this matter is really not that simple. I know you are a good policeman, but you should not follow along."
"I used to be a drill instructor in the police force! I was just careless just now! Don't underestimate me, you two. I don't trust you either. What if you really are the murderer?"
"Forget it, let him be."
Yin Qi leaned against the elevator car, eyes slightly closed.
The elevator stopped steadily on the tenth floor, and the door slowly opened. The scene in front of him left Li Muhan dumbfounded.
He had never seen such a grand banquet before. This was actually... a company's annual meeting?!
Young people in tailor-made suits and gorgeous evening gowns chatted and laughed, holding valuable fine wines in their hands and savoring precious delicacies.
Although the formal dinner had not yet begun, the smiles on their faces foreshadowed the revelry of tonight.
For them, the Huang Group is undoubtedly more stable than working in the government. As long as they don't cross the line, they will always be safe on this big ship.
"Oh, this is pure extravagance and corruption."
Li Muhan sighed.
"Comrade police officer, do you think this counts as excessive spending? Should they all be arrested?"
"They're not a state-owned enterprise. They're spending their own money, so they can do whatever they want with it. Besides, I'm here to catch the murderer named Mu Ya. I don't care about anyone else."
As Ma Jun spoke, he forcibly tied the broken belt into a knot. It must be said that this old policeman was quite strong.
Li Muhan found a young girl who was drinking alone and asked, "Excuse me, I'd like to ask where Young Master Huang is?"
The girl glanced at Li Muhan with disdain, and after seeing his appearance, she sat up slightly straighter.
"Ahem... Um, which department are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"Oh, I am..."
Li Muhan was about to speak when Yin Qi interrupted and said, "We are new to the company. I am Yin Zhiping, the company's clerk."
"Oh~ Yin Zhiping, it's you. You're so cute. I remember your name very well. It's very special."
Li Muhan understood what Yin Qi meant. Her identity information was just a clerk, and this woman looked like a supervisor. If Li Muhan reported the name of Li Fugui, who was also a supervisor, he would probably be exposed. But on the contrary, if she was just an ordinary clerk, the risk of being exposed would be much smaller.
"Of course Mr. Huang wouldn't let us see it."
The woman answered with a smile, and then handed a glass of wine to Li Muhan.
"This guy is quite handsome. Come and have a drink with me?"
Li Muhan was about to refuse when Yin Qi tugged at his sleeve slightly. The look in her eyes seemed to say that it was time to sacrifice, and intelligence was necessary.
"...Okay, okay, sister."
So Li Muhan took the wine glass, and the girl gently patted the sofa where she was sitting.
"Come sit down, what's the big deal about you standing and drinking with me? Am I that scary?"
Honestly, Li Muhan couldn't tell if she was scary or not, because her makeup was so thick, with several layers of powder. She must be in her thirties, so why did I call her a girl earlier? It was wrong, I'm too lazy to change it.
