Chapter 14 Ritual

A black car was parked not far from the gate of Yulang Hotel. Xing Ye was leaning against the car, with a cigarette in his hand, and was leisurely waiting for Gu Ci to get off.

The girls who had been exposed couldn't help but look at him a few more times. He was handsome, but his eyes were terribly gloomy. The girls only dared to look at him from a distance, but did not dare to strike up a conversation.

Gu Ci stood by the glass window of the tall building, looking at the person who was waiting for him below, he was not in a hurry to get down, so he pretended not to see him coming.

"You just leave him alone like this, what if he gets angry and wants to kill you? He's a ****! He's a very unreasonable kind..." Huang Zhe was running errands for Uncle Huang, delivering materials to Gu Ci, Seeing his defiant attitude, I couldn't help reminding him to pay attention to his own safety.

Gu Ci directly ignored his warning, took the documents in his hand and flipped through them a few times, "Do you need my signature?"

"Yeah!" Huang Zhe nodded, then looked at Xing Ye who was waiting for him below, he still couldn't let you go, "Will you be in danger? Do you want me to send some people to follow?"

"Don't worry! I'm not that weak. Besides, if someone finds out after me, everything I've done will be in vain." Gu Ci picked up a pen and signed his name on the materials.

"I know I can't change what you have decided, but remember to be safe." Huang Zhe felt that he was about to become an old woman, nagging!

"Understood, why are you more verbose than Uncle Huang?" Gu Ci raised his forehead.

"..." Isn't it all for your own good, I really don't appreciate it "Gu Ci!"

"Ok?"

"Don't get hurt, or I'll tell dad to lock you up." Huang Zhe could only rely on his dad to threaten him, although it didn't work.

"..."

This sentence has been the same since childhood, an old routine that has not changed for thousands of years, what else can he say!

Gu Ci simply packed his things, and the two went downstairs together.

Xing Ye saw the two walking down together, chatting and laughing along the way, his eyes dimmed, and he looked at Huang Zhe with a gloomy look.

It's not that Huang Zhe didn't feel that cold gaze, but he still laughed heartlessly, and didn't intend to avoid Xing Ye.

Gu Ci felt a little helpless, he knew what Huang Zhe wanted to do, but he didn't intend to stop him.

"President Gu, who is this?" Xing Ye's voice was much colder, as if he would violently dismantle the person in front of him in the next second.

"This is my friend, Huang Zhe." Gu Ci introduced Huang Zhe to Xing Ye, and turned to look at Huang Zhe, "Huang Zhe, this is Tianyu's boss, Xing Ye!"

Xing Ye noticed Gu Ci's words very sensitively, Huang Zhe is a friend, but he is Tianyu's boss, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Hi, I'm Xing Ye." Xing Ye showed a sinister smile, and stretched out his hand to Huang Zhe.

"Hello!" Huang Zhe looked at his hands, extended his own, and shook hands with him with a smile.

Xing Ye suddenly exerted strength and squeezed Huang Zhe's hand. The latter's expression did not change, and he used his own way to treat his body, and pinched him back with all his strength.

Huang Zhe looked gentle, but his hands were not usually strong. When the two retracted their hands, Huang Zhe helped his glasses, and nothing happened.

Xing Ye silently withdrew his hand and hung it beside him. If he looked closely, he could still see his hand trembling slightly.

Gu Ci is naturally aware of the undercurrent between them, but he is pretending not to know, anyway, the one who suffers is not Huang Zhe.

"Xiaoci, I'll go back first, remember to go home and see our dad." Huang Zhe showed an innocent smile, these words he said were definitely intentional.

The driver was already waiting by the side, Huang Zhe ignored Xing Ye's gloomy expression, turned around and got into the car, put away his smile and "let's go"

How could Gu Ci be so close to that person!Xing Ye pulled his hands together, as if he was thinking about how to tear Huang Zhe into pieces.

"Boss Xing? What's wrong with you?" Gu Ci seemed to be ignorant, and returned to his usual indifferent expression, which formed a huge contrast with his attitude when facing Huang Zhe.

This made Xing Ye even more furious, but no matter how unhappy he was, Gu Ci didn't care.

Xing Ye managed to suppress the anger in his heart, returned to his normal appearance, and opened the car door for Gu Ci, "It's okay, get in the car quickly! We won't go home until we're drunk tonight."

Gu Ci was not polite, and sat in.

Xing Ye reserved a box, the two walked in and asked the bartender to bring some wine.

The two clinked glasses lightly, and the atmosphere was just right, as if they were real brothers.

"Boss Xing, do you remember what you said last night?"

"I said a lot last night, I don't know which sentence you said." The corners of Xing Ye's mouth slightly curled up, looking very evil.

"You said that we are the same kind of people, you have found your own way of life, but I don't know what your way of life is like?" Gu Ci chuckled.

"I……"

Just as Xing Ye made a sound, there was a commotion outside, and the voice of the security personnel rang out, "Sorry, there are guests inside, you can't go in."

"We need to find Xing Ye for something, get out of the way quickly, otherwise I will arrest you at the police station." Han Nuoshang's voice came from outside.

Gu Ci took a sip of the wine in his glass, lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Boss!" A bartender was kicked in from the outside.

Xing Ye's eyes became gloomy, and when he looked up to see Han Nuoshang, the gloom in his eyes disappeared without a trace.

"Captain Han, I've admired your name for a long time." Xing Ye sneered, and finally met.

Gu Ci sat at the side calmly, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him, and the few police officers brought by Han Nuoshang also selectively ignored his existence.

"Xing Ye, we now suspect that you are related to a criminal organization, please follow us back to the police station to assist in the investigation." Chu Han took a step forward, looking condescendingly at Xing Ye who was sitting on the sofa.

"Okay." Xing Ye seemed very confident that nothing would happen to him.

"May I ask you to get up by yourself? Or should we ask you to get up." Chu Han smiled, threatening.

"This police officer, don't go too far." At this moment, Gu Ci, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke out, looking coldly at the few people who came to arrest him.

Xing Ye looked at him in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to speak for himself, and couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.

"We are just handling the case according to the procedures. If this gentleman has any problems, he can report us." Chu Han's voice was a little displeased.

Gu Ci raised his head, didn't look at him, looked at Han Nuoshang in the distance, suddenly laughed, picked up the wine bottle on the side, and threw it at him.

Han Nuoshang's expression changed, and he dodged away, the wine bottle rubbed against his arm and fell to the ground, his body was smashed to pieces.

Chu Han's face also turned cold, "Captain, are you alright?"

Han Nuoshang shook his head, but he didn't have the casual feeling just now, Xing Ye could tell that he was angry.

"This gentleman, you openly assaulted the police, why don't you come back to the police station and have a cup of tea with us." Han Nuoshang stared at Gu Ci with an unfriendly expression on his face.

"Okay!"

Han Nuoshang's complexion became even worse, and he approached Gu Ci, "Then let's go, sir."

Han Nuoshang stretched out his hand to pull Gu Ci up, but Gu Ci slapped his hand away, "Don't touch me, I will walk by myself."

Han Nuoshang still took out the handcuffs, one on his hand and one on his own, and pulled him out.

Chu Han and another police officer also pulled Xing Ye up. Xing Ye looked at the backs of Han Nuoshang and Gu Ci with a gloomy expression.

In Han Nuoshang's car--

Gu Ci raised his hand and shook the handcuff hanging on his hand, "Captain Han, don't you intend to open it?"

Han Nuoshang smiled, "I think it's pretty good! Isn't the play well done?"

"I always feel that you are avenging your own personal revenge." Gu Ci gave him a blank look.

"How is it possible, I am so upright and kind, how could I do such a thing!"

"..." Honest and kind, only Han Nuoshang can say this.

Gu Ci simply gave up resisting and folded his hands on his knees.

Han Nuoshang took out a small light blue box from his pocket and threw it to Gu Ci.

"what is this?"

Gu Ci picked up the box with great interest and held it up to his eyes, as if he wanted to see through to see what was inside.

Han Nuoshang was amused by him, "You will know if you open it and have a look."

Gu Ci obediently opened the box, closed it after two seconds, and stuffed it back into Han Nuoshang's pocket.

"..." Han Nuoshang was speechless.

Two minutes later, the box returned to Gu Ci's hands, and Gu Ci held the box, full of helplessness.

"Captain Han, I'm not a child!"

"I know." Aren't you a few years older than the child?

"Then give me back the candies!" Yes, the box that Team Han gave him was filled with a box of candies.

"The doctor said that you have hypoglycemia, adding more sugar is beneficial and harmless."

"..." What else could Gu Ci say, and he stared at the candy in his hand for a while, "I don't like candy."

"I like it as soon as I eat it. Someone told me that when I am unhappy, I eat candy. If it is sweet, I will be happy soon. It can improve happiness."

"Who said that?"

Han Nuoshang paused for a moment, Gu Ci did not miss the sadness that flashed in his eyes, "Once a very important person."

It was someone who was important, not now!

Gu Ci wisely shut up and stopped talking, so he wouldn't ask who that person was.

Xing Ye and Gu Ci were brought into two interrogation rooms respectively. Xing Ye wanted to say something to Gu Ci, but was stopped by the criminal investigation team and could only look at Gu Ci.

He sat down with a displeased face, while Chu Han and Ying Hongxue were in charge of the interrogation.

Chu Han put the pictures taken in the basement and some chat records in front of Xing Ye, and tapped on the table.

Xing Ye glanced at him, picked up the photos, his expression changed, he lowered his head for a while before adjusting, and after reading it, he showed a little puzzled look, "Officer, what is this?"

Chu Han raised his eyebrows, but he really knows how to pretend, "Isn't this a good thing you did, don't you know?"

Xing Ye shook his head and said with a smile, "Officer, does this count as framing you? The police shouldn't do things like this! What evidence do you have to prove that these things belong to me?"

"We have witnesses."

"We have a lot of enemies in this industry, maybe those enemies of mine have joined forces to harm me." Xing Ye looked so calm as if he really didn't do these things.

Ying Hongxue looked at him beside him, a combination of a slight show personality and an anti-social personality, confident and arrogant, this person is extremely dangerous.

"Really? Boss Xing is also a respectable person and a smart man. I don't know why you still open that clothing store that can only lose money?"

"There's no reason, anyway, what I have is money, and my business can't go down if I keep it, so I don't care."

"Then, can Boss Xing explain why your so-called enemy works in your shop?"

"I just see that they are very pitiful. They don't have a job, so is it a problem to provide them with a job opportunity? Besides, people die for money, and birds die for food! Maybe they were bought by my enemies, and they want to frame me. Maybe!" Xing Ye sneered, dismissing Chu Han's question.

Chu Han and Ying Hongxue looked at each other, and saw what the other party wanted to express: This person can really do it!

"Boss Xing is a smart person. You don't know that those people under your command have done so many things behind your back. They dare to mess around without your permission?" Ying Hongxue gently poked the photos with the pen in her hand.

Xing Ye smiled and said, "It's not the old society now, what is emphasized now is human rights, the two policemen should know better than me! Even if those people work under me, I can't ask them to listen to me in everything , Besides, they all have their own ideas, and I will respect their ideas."

Xing Ye's answer was impeccable, and there was indeed nothing wrong with what he said, but it was naturally impossible for Chu Han and the others to believe him.

"Xing Ye, right? I checked your ancestral home, and it's the city of Yuan that you came to 20 years ago." Chu Han suddenly changed the question.

Xing Ye's face changed slightly, but he quickly adjusted back, and smiled at Chu Han just like before, but everyone felt that the smile was unusually penetrating.

"Is the police officer going to check my family tree? Does it have anything to do with you bringing me back here?" Xing Ye said one police officer at a time, but ignored them at all.

"The relationship is very important!" Chu Han paused, "20 years have passed, does Boss Xing still remember what happened when you were a child?"

"I don't remember, I also really want to know what happened to me before, what did I find out? Don't mind telling me." Xing Ye spread his hands, expressing that he didn't know anything.

"It is said that Boss Xing's parents died when he was young, and then he came to Yuancheng by himself, but I'm sorry, the police are not capable enough to find out more things, only know so much!"

Naturally, he would not say what Xing Ye told Gu Ci. No matter whether he had said these things to others, Gu Ci is not sure whether Xing Ye really believes him, and what he said to Gu Ci is not necessarily true. Really, if Gu Ci confessed, it would be worth the loss.

"It's okay, I don't care anyway!"

……

Song Zhiyue looked at Xing Ye in the surveillance. At this time, he was sitting in the interrogation room and playing with his fingers, "What's wrong with this man, he seems quite excited to be invited into the police station without making a fuss."

"He is very sure that we can't do anything to him, so he has nothing to fear!" Ying Hongxue sighed, "Based on what we have now, we can detain him for 48 hours at most. After all, there is no real evidence to prove that he participated in those events." Of course, the matter of his killing his mother is another matter, the most important thing for us now is to get the list of personnel in heaven!"

Xing Ye will definitely not be able to escape, but none of those people in the heavenly prison can be let go. They are the filth that exists in this city. What Han Nuoshang and the others have to do is to clean up the filth as much as possible.

Gu Ci was assigned to another interrogation room, and he still had to do a full set of acting, but the cameras in the interrogation room were all turned off.

Han Nuoshang and Bai Yinchen were in charge of 'interrogating' him.

The three sat in the interrogation room, relatively silent...

"Congratulations to Mr. Gu for successfully attacking the police." Han Nuoshang twitched his lips.

"What are you going to do?" Gu Ci asked directly.

"We have found the stronghold of Heavenly Hell. Apart from the clothing store, there is also the factory. We don't know what kind of structure the factory is in, so we dare not act rashly for now." Han Nuoshang paused, "What about you? What about you next?" What are you going to do?"

"I should be able to go in soon, do you need my help to get a map of the factory?"

Han Nuoshang shook his head resolutely, Gu Ci was puzzled, isn't this the fastest way, why not?

"It's too dangerous. With our police force, it's not difficult to control that factory. It may take longer without a map, but you are already dangerous by Xing Ye's side, so there's no need to take risks."

Gu Ci nodded, agreed with Han Nuoshang's statement, lowered his head to think for a while, and turned to look at Han Nuoshang.

"Then what about the crime of assaulting the police?"

Bai Yinchen raised his head, wondering, "What assault the police, what are they talking about?" ' Turning his head to look at Han Nuoshang, he found that he was also in a daze.

"Heh..." Seeing their bewildered looks, Gu Ci couldn't help laughing out loud, "I screwed up the captain of the criminal investigation team, so why don't you let me come in and get out like this?"

Han Nuoshang seemed to have thought of something, frowned and looked at Gu Ci, "We are calm and disciplined law enforcement officers, and you didn't hurt me..."

"But others don't think so." Gu Ci interrupted him.

In the eyes of those people, the police are no different from other people. They also hold grudges and are narrow-minded. If others owe them money, they will also pay back the money owed to them. Those people don't know any discipline.

"What do you want to say?" Han Nuoshang's expression darkened.

Gu Ci knew that Han Nuoshang was going to be unhappy, but "I don't think Team Han should be so kind. After all, in their eyes, people in this world are all the same."

"..." Han Nuoshang stared at Gu Ci, and said for a while, "What do you want to do?"

Gu Ci seemed satisfied with his reaction, stood up and walked to his side, "Lend me your hand."

Han Nuoshang didn't think too much, and directly passed his hand over...
