Half an hour later.
Gu Zichen asked, "Strategist, are we just going to wait like this?"
"Otherwise what?"
"Aren't you worried about Luo Qingyan's safety? If it were me, I would have rushed in already."
"If it were that simple, Boiling Sheep would have brought an RPG with him."
"So what do we do now?"
Qin Bai said calmly, "Wait."
Sunlight streamed through the glass doorway and shone on his profile.
Half of the light.
Half of it is dark.
Qin Bai's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the bench.
1764, 1765...
Anxiety reveals a person's true colors, which is exactly what the people upstairs want to see.
Just as Qin Bai found 2398, the office phone rang.
The person inside kept nodding and bowing after answering the phone.
Then he called out to Qin Bai outside, "Go upstairs, the section chief's office is on the third floor, he's waiting for you."
Qin Bai remained silent, stood up, and walked upstairs.
He knocked lightly twice on the spot where his tie clip was before pushing the door open and entering.
A middle-aged man in his forties looked up at him and frowned slightly.
"Can't you knock before coming in? You..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Bai immediately said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I came in too hastily. I'll knock again before coming in."
The section chief was stunned. Qin Bai was not the same as the one in the file.
This has nothing to do with wisdom or arrogance; it just looks like an ordinary person asking for a favor.
Logically speaking, most people would be impatient after waiting downstairs for so long.
The fact that he's still being so polite means he's run out of options.
Come to think of it, he was new to Kyoto and unfamiliar with the place. With his girlfriend arrested, how could he dare to be arrogant?
Upon hearing the gentle knock, the section chief smiled dismissively.
"Come in."
Qin Bai walked in again, his face now beaming with smiles.
"Section Chief, what is your surname?"
"My surname is Wang. What brings you here?"
"Section Chief Wang, I am Qin Bai. I am here mainly for Luo Qingyan's matter."
"Oh, we can't do it. Tax evasion is a violation of the law, and we are preparing to transfer the case to the procuratorate."
Qin Bai took a stack of documents out of his bag and placed them in front of him.
"Is there some misunderstanding here? These are all proof of our tax payments. Why don't you take a look?"
Section Chief Wang impatiently pushed the documents aside.
"Didn't I tell you? This matter is no longer under our jurisdiction. Now you should leave."
Qin Bai took out another envelope from the building, with red banknotes peeking out from the edge.
He said obsequiously, "These are just a token of my respect, I..."
A glint of light flashed in Section Chief Wang's eyes, but his gaze inadvertently drifted towards the door.
He coughed and then said righteously, "What are you doing? We have rules here that prohibit bribery. If you continue like this, I will have no choice but to arrest you as well."
"No, I'm not asking you to do anything against the rules. I just want to see Luo Qingyan. After all, she hasn't been back for so long, and her family is worried about her."
Section Chief Wang still pushed the envelope back, but his attitude softened considerably.
"Xiao Qin, since you're being so nice, I'll just be frank with you."
He tapped the documents lying to the side: "You don't need to pretend you don't know. Are these things really that important?"
"Why was Luo Qingyan arrested...? Don't you know why she's being brought to the station?"
Qin Bai looked surprised: "I really don't know, please enlighten me, Section Chief Wang."
Section Chief Wang smiled and shook his head: "You're still young. You know who you've offended. If you want to save Luo Qingyan, go find the person in charge."
Qin Bai asked, puzzled, "You mean even if the company didn't evade taxes, Luo Qingyan will still be arrested?"
"Ha! Isn't that obvious?"
"Then who is the person in question?"
Section Chief Wang frowned slightly, looking at Qin Bai with an expression that suggested he was mentally challenged.
Is this person mentally unstable?
We've offended the Luo family to the point of almost going to war, and now you're asking me who the real culprit is?
He said impatiently, "Go find it..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Bai received two beeping sounds, and then his phone rang.
Qin Bai shook his head regretfully.
Then, sitting down in the chair, the fawning attitude vanished instantly, and she calmly picked up her phone.
"Hey, yeah, I got it. Haha, you're all so quick. I thought I could keep the live stream going for a while."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and stared blankly at the middle-aged man in front of him.
Section Chief Wang broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
"Qin, Qin Bai, what did you just say? What do you mean by live streaming?"
"Oh, it means exactly what it says. I was bored, so I did a live stream for a while. You haven't forgotten my main job, have you? I have nearly ten million followers."
Section Chief Wang slammed his fist on the table and yelled, "You little brat, is this your place to do live streams? You've really had enough of life."
Qin Bai sneered: "If I were you, I would be thinking about my own way out, instead of shouting here."
He leaned forward slightly and continued, "Hundreds of thousands of people are watching your face online at the same time. Tsk tsk tsk, you'll be cyberbullied to death."
Section Chief Wang slumped into his chair, his face ashen. He could already guess what was going to happen next.
Qin Bai turned to look at the doorway and said calmly, "Since you're here, come in. It's pointless to block our way with these shrimp soldiers and crab generals."
Snap snap snap~~~
Luo Fan walked in, clapping his hands.
"Good, good, impressive. No wonder you can make the Luo family suffer."
He turned to look at Section Chief Wang and said coldly, "Pack your things and leave quickly. Someone is waiting for you downstairs."
As if grasping at a straw, Section Chief Wang kept thanking them before slinking away.
"Let me introduce myself, I'm Luo Fan from the Luo family." He sat down opposite Qin Bai.
"Who you are is not important, where is Luo Qingyan?"
"You can rest assured that the young lady is safe. The person we need to deal with is you."
“I knew, that’s why I came.”
Luo Fan laughed and said, "I really admire your courage. You dared to come to Kyoto all by yourself. I'm curious, without Pei Wanyin and the Giles family this time, what are you relying on?"
"I can handle you all by myself. Do I need anyone else?"
Luo Fan scoffed, "Qin Bai, how dare you say that? Do you believe I can make sure you never leave this office right now?"
Qin Bai said calmly, "I believe you, but do you dare? You should think about your current troubles."
Luo Fan laughed and said, "Trouble? You mean the live broadcast? Do you think we'd be afraid of such childish tricks? Besides, Section Chief Wang didn't even mention the Luo family's name."
Qin Bai sneered: "It's more effective if we don't say it out loud."
Luo Fan was slightly taken aback, and after thinking for a moment, his expression changed drastically.
