Chapter 32 Can't Work for Nothing (Please Recommend, Please Collect)
Things seemed to be getting more and more interesting.
A smirk, loaded with sarcasm, curled the corners of Yang Fei's lips as he smiled.
His eyes, however, grew even colder and more piercing.
Yang Fei's guess was indeed correct.
When Lin Xueyi was forcefully taken away in a taxi, Little Police Flower Feng Cai'er happened to witness the scene.
Feng Cai'er was there to express her gratitude to Yang Fei.
A few days earlier on a train, Yang Fei had assisted Feng Cai'er in capturing Xue Tu, a dangerous itinerant criminal trafficker wanted by the General Police Department.
In no time at all, the reputation of the Valiant Little Police Flower had spread far and wide.
Given Xue Tu's identity, he was involved in several unsolved cases.
Therefore, this significant case was not broadcasted in the media.
But inside the police system, everyone was shocked by the impressive feats of Feng Cai'er.
The Provincial Police Department reacted the fastest, commending the Yannan City Police Station first and foremost.
The entire Yannan City Police Station was honored with a collective third-class merit, and the University Town Police Station, where Feng Cai'er was stationed, with a collective second-class merit.
Feng Cai'er personally received a second-class merit.
Moreover, the Provincial Police Department even recommended Feng Cai'er to the General Police Department for commendation, and the General Police Department planned to award her the Golden Eagle Medal of Honor.
This was a lifetime achievement award and the highest honor a grassroots police officer could receive.
Even the chief of the Yannan City Police Station had to salute Feng Cai'er when seeing her.
This morning, Chief Zhang Shide secretly told Feng Cai'er some news.
The City Police Station had already prepared a reward for Feng Cai'er.
Aside from some official written commendations, the organization had passed a proposal to promote Feng Cai'er to the position of instructor at University Town Police Station, as a First Level officer.
In fact, Feng Cai'er had just completed her first year at work, ending her probationary period.
According to normal procedures, she would need to work for three full years to be promoted from a level two officer to a First Level officer.
And to become a leader was something she didn't even dare to dream about.
Now, not even a month after her probation ended, she was already in line for a promotion and pay raise.
Although this wasn't much, it was clearly indicative of the higher departments' regard and intentions to nurture Feng Cai'er.
Everything was just beginning.
Feng Cai'er felt somewhat bewildered and a bit hollow inside.
After all, it was Yang Fei who had captured Xue Tu.
The merits she had to her name had merely been handed to her by Yang Fei in passing.
She had hesitated for a long time before deciding not to report Yang Fei's actions to her superiors.
Based on her understanding of that scoundrel Yang Fei, this guy would most definitely not admit to having captured Xue Tu.
Moreover, that bastard had threatened the Little Police Flower.
If she spoke carelessly, he would reveal the incident where he forced a public kiss on her.
Feng Cai'er swore that Yang Fei was certainly capable of such a thing.
And he would certainly do it with great enthusiasm, pride, and joy!
If he blurted this out indiscriminately, how would she ever hold her head up again?
But enough of that, back to the front of Lanting Hotel.
Because of Yang Fei, Feng Cai'er had always been very attentive to Lanting Hotel.
She just couldn't understand how Yang Fei, with his terrifying abilities and mysterious background, would be contented working as an odd-job man at Lanting Hotel.
So, when Feng Cai'er saw Lin Xueyi hurrying out of Lanting Hotel to hail a taxi at the roadside, she took notice.
At that moment, Lin Xueyi's body jerked backward abruptly, as though she had been startled by something.
Then, she lurched forward into the taxi.
Her entire body fell into the taxi in an extremely unnatural position.
"Something's wrong!"
Feng Cai'er immediately realized something was amiss and rushed toward the taxi.
But before she could get close, the taxi sped off.
Feng Cai'er ran to her parked Baolai, opened the door.
She got into the driver's seat with the utmost speed, started the car, turned around, made a turn, and tightly followed the taxi in front of her.
Yang Fei was filtering through surveillance video based on the appearance of Lin Xueyi's clothing.
Therefore, he initially did not notice Feng Cai'er's presence.
Feng Cai'er followed closely behind the taxi, watching as it sped southward, her heart pounding fiercely.
She had never imagined that she would actually witness a kidnapping taking place right before her eyes.
Anxious that the kidnapper might harm the hostage, Feng Cai'er was careful not to follow too closely.
She carefully followed behind the taxi.
The taxi headed south, took a big loop, and then drove back to the Xihua District.
Leaving the main street, the taxi turned into a back alley.
The streets narrowed, and the taxi's speed slowed down.
Finally, the taxi stopped at the back door of a car repair shop.
To avoid alerting the target, Feng Cai'er parked her Baolai car outside the alley.
She poked her head out, watching the driver and two men carry Lin Xueyi out of the car.
From Feng Cai'er's angle, she could see that Lin Xueyi's eyes were tightly closed and her body was limp.
It was clear she had been knocked out by the kidnappers.
"Who would want to trouble the boss's wife?"
Feng Cai'er was somewhat puzzled.
At that moment, she caught a glimpse of a figure.
Dressed in a dusty Zhongshan suit, with a buzz cut, neither tall nor short, his piercing eyes were like those of an eagle, exuding an imposing aura.
Feng Biao!
Feng Cai'er had a year of work experience and was somewhat familiar with the situation in the Xihua District.
She not only knew the Big Rascal Wu Wei but also was acquainted with Wu Wei's top War General, Feng Biao.
According to relevant information, within the past year, there had been at least two cases of intentional injury and three cases of serious injury crimes related to this Feng Biao.
The police just couldn't find enough evidence.
Feng Biao stood in front of the taxi, seemingly making a phone call.
After finishing the call, he didn't linger; he gestured to the two men to carry Lin Xueyi into the dilapidated backyard of the repair shop.
Feng Cai'er bit her lips firmly.
She had a habit; whenever she got nervous, she would unconsciously bite her lips.
And now, Feng Cai'er's small teeth were about to draw blood from her lips.
"Should I immediately call for backup?"
Feng Cai'er hesitated but ultimately decided against it.
Even if she were to call for help, she should first sneak in to ensure Lin Xueyi's safety.
Otherwise, if the other party were cornered, they might harm Lin Xueyi.
As Feng Cai'er thought this, she approached the back door of the repair shop and discovered, to her surprise, that it was unlocked.
She took a glance inside, then her figure flashed as she slipped in.
Inside, the repair shop was actually made up of two rows of long rectangular workshops constructed from colored steel tiles.
The workshops housed a variety of machinery.
In the middle of the space, various scrapped cars and car parts were piled up like a mountain.
Feng Cai'er, using the cover of old cars, stealthily approached the left-side workshop.
On the left, a row of low red brick buildings seemed to be either storerooms or workers' dormitories.
One of the middle red brick buildings had a firmly closed iron door, secured from the outside with a latch and hooked with a steel pin.
"Could Lin Xueyi be locked inside there?"
Feng Cai'er observed the surroundings carefully.
She concluded that this was the only place suitable for temporarily detaining someone and made up her mind.
Although Feng Cai'er was brave, she still felt a bit terrified in such a perilous situation.
"Brother Biao, when are we going to hand off this woman? Damn it's boring."
A man in a black suit, with his chest exposed, said languidly.
He yawned while speaking.
Feng Biao didn't utter a word, nor did he even lift his eyelids.
He sat up straight, hands on knees, like a tree stump cast from iron.
"Heh heh, Chong Ba, stop babbling nonsense."
"Brother Wei told us to deliver her tonight, so we will deliver her tonight."
"If you piss off Brother Wei, none of us will get off easy."
The other man said ingratiatingly, while also trying to flatter Feng Biao.
The man called Chong Ba glanced at the expressionless Feng Biao, yawned again, and looked bored.
He looked at the red brick house to his left, a wicked light flashing in his eyes as he chuckled.
"Guys, the boss's wife has such a hot figure; we shouldn't just work for nothing, right?"
"How about we go have some fun with her?"
