Chapter 313 So What If You Become a Demon?
He has a bottom line, and Ye Siyi is his bottom line. Now that they have actually tormented his precious darling like this, he naturally cannot remain silent any longer. He said he would demolish this place, and he really meant it. With a single command, the men following him prepared to take action.
The policeman was naturally anxious, "Hey, I'm telling you guys..."
Liu Qi, who had been standing outside, had already come in after hearing the commotion. He wisely stepped forward, covered the policeman's mouth, and pulled him away without explanation, handing the policeman to his subordinates and signaling them to take him out. Anyone with eyes could see that President Jiang was currently furious, and no one knew what the consequences would be of provoking Jiang Yan Hui now.
But this was a police station, and there were more than just one or two officers present, all of whom were armed. Seeing the situation was turning against them, they all stood up. The leader stepped forward, gripping his gun at his waist, and said with a menacing expression, "What are you doing? No matter who you are, this is a police station, not a place where you can cause trouble! Do you believe I'll lock you all up?!"
This fearless person actually dared to rush forward. Jiang Yan's once charming eyes were now devoid of any warmth, her gaze sinister and chilling. He was too lazy to waste another word. He waved his hand, and immediately someone stood before him, also raising a gun, arrogantly facing the room full of police officers—
The situation was on the verge of erupting. Jiang Yanhui's thin lips pressed into a sharp line, possessing a ruthless and decisive nature. In this standoff, he merely let out a soft hum before finally speaking coldly, "I'm not a patient person. I'll only say one thing: bring me the person I want, or else, I'm afraid you can't bear the consequences!"
"Jiang Yan Hui!" Ye Zhenghao finally calmed down. Seeing that Jiang Yan Hui was making things worse, he regretted it. He shouldn't have told him about Si Yi's situation so directly. Si Yi was too important to him. He had long lost his rationality because of her. But now, with Jiang Yan Hui out of his mind, how could Ye Zhenghao go crazy with him?
"Jiang Yanhui, don't do anything rash. You need to think this through. Doing this won't do Siyi any good..."
"Shut up!" Jiang Yan Hui was already furious, and now Ye Zheng Hao's open opposition only fueled her rage. A cold smile appeared on her face as she snapped, "What I do is none of your business! She's in there with a fever and nobody's taking care of her, is that good? I don't care what others think or write, I'm getting her out of here today. I want to see who dares to go against me!"
It must be said that, judging from the current situation, Ye Zhenghao is indeed calm enough. After five years of tempering, he has shed the irritability he used to have. The higher the position he holds, the more his cultivation and temperament surpass those of ordinary people. Even under Jiang Yanhui's tough and unreasonable attitude, Ye Zhenghao was not provoked in the slightest.
Of course, more than anything, it was because he understood Jiang Yan Hui's current state of mind. In the world of emotions, he was merely an observer, and observers see things more clearly, so he could tolerate Jiang Yan Hui's unreasonable behavior. He stared at Jiang Yan Hui for a full minute before slowly speaking.
“I’m just as worried as you about anything that happens to Siyi, but I’m calmer. Even if you forcefully demolish everything here today, the result will only be worse. The situation is already very complicated. Can you give me some time to find out the specifics and then come up with a solution?” As he spoke, he took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and handed them directly to Jiang Yan Hui. “These are the keys to my house, my car, and several properties, including my office in City A, which is also the police station. In short, you can demolish anything you want, I absolutely won’t hold it against you.”
Jiang Yan turned around, her expression dark. Of course, she didn't take the keys from his hand. She just looked coldly at Ye Zhenghao, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "You think I wouldn't dare?"
"Is there anything you, Young Master Yan, wouldn't dare to do?" Ye Zhenghao chuckled and shrugged. "I know what kind of person you are, and I know how you feel right now, but a head-on confrontation won't do you any good. If you just take Siyi away like this, it'll only make things more complicated, won't it? You should be well aware of the immense pressure from public opinion. Even if it goes to court, you should know that judges and juries will consider various factors in their verdict. Moreover, if we make too much noise now, it will only give the prosecution more ammunition. You need to understand that lawsuits are something that can penetrate anywhere."
Ye Zhenghao's words ultimately hit Jiang Yanhui's weakness. Now, anything related to Siyi is his Achilles' heel. He finally lowered his eyes and didn't say anything more for a moment.
He neither said he would demolish it nor that he would demolish it. His subordinates were all silent and dared not utter a sound. Liu Qi just stood aside and did not dare to ask any more questions.
Just as the situation reached a stalemate, the door behind them was suddenly pushed open, and a series of light footsteps followed, then a clear, cold female voice broke the tense silence—
"Let's not rush into tearing down the police station yet. Wouldn't it be better to hear my analysis of the autopsy first?" At this point, only Xia Ran dared to speak up. Holding the newly completed report, she took a deep breath, glanced at Ye Zhenghao, and then addressed Jiang Yan, "Young Master Yan, Brother Ye is right. This case is far too complex, and sometimes resorting to violence isn't the wisest choice. So, how about hearing my findings first?"
Ye Zhenghao wisely turned around and, while Xia Ran was persuading Jiang Yanhui, he whispered a few words to Liu Qi, signaling them to let the place go. He knew that Jiang Yanhui's heart had softened, but he just didn't say it.
Liu Qi could obviously tell what Jiang Yan Hui's attitude was, so he nodded and led the people out.
Ye Zhenghao, having spent years navigating the officialdom, knew exactly how to behave. He stepped forward, glanced at the highest-ranking man in the office, and then asked, "Is your Director Lin on vacation?"
City A and City B are not far apart, so the man naturally knew Ye Zhenghao. When Jiang Yan started making a scene, they weren't sure they could control the situation. However, since they had been instructed by their superiors that this matter was of utmost importance, and that no matter what happened, they should just be firm, as they had someone backing them up. Otherwise, they probably would have released her long ago after being so intimidated.
But now that Ye Zhenghao had asked, he couldn't remain silent. After a moment's hesitation, he nodded. "This case is no longer under Director Lin's jurisdiction. Director Ye, I know you are a big shot, but this is City B, not your City A. So I hope you can understand our official approach. This is what we've been instructed to do. Ye Siyi is now the prime suspect, and she cannot be released on bail."
Ye Zhenghao wasn't surprised by this explanation. After confirming that Xia Ran had taken Jiang Yan Hui out of the police station, he asked, "If we can't get bail, can we at least see her?"
"No." The other party's attitude was clearly exceptionally firm, which made Ye Zhenghao even more certain that there was definitely a powerful force behind these people.
He paused, then chuckled and slowly said, "Even if Ye Siyi is a key suspect now, as far as I know, she's not in good health. It seems unreasonable that you won't even let us see her. Besides, she's not exactly an aggressive criminal, and she hasn't been convicted yet, has she?" He lowered his voice, deliberately moving closer to the man, and finally said softly, "You might think what happened just now was a farce, but you should know very well the identity and status of that man outside. No matter what power you have behind you, if you really anger him, this place will be a bloodbath. Shouldn't you think carefully about the consequences of offending him? Have you considered it?"
police,"……"
Ye Zhenghao, having served as an official for many years and risen to a position in management, naturally no longer handles matters as recklessly as before. He now knows how to use the most tactful methods to balance the various forces, employing elegant tactics that offend neither side, which is currently the most advantageous approach for them.
"Okay, arrange for them to meet in a bit, try to meet his demands, and I'll take responsibility for anything that happens. Also, tell me who the highest-ranking person in charge of this case is right now, and I'll go find him personally."
After weighing the pros and cons of the current situation, the other party finally listened to Ye Zhenghao's opinion and nodded in agreement.

At the police station entrance, Xia Ran handed the report to Jiang Yan Hui. She rubbed her aching temples, her head throbbing. "I've already examined the body. There were no medications or other medical conditions on the deceased. She was a perfectly healthy person. She hadn't even eaten anything before she died, let alone shown any signs of poisoning."
Even though Jiang Yan was a complete novice when it came to these matters, after hearing Xia Ran's explanation, he understood that the situation was dire.
"What exactly do you mean?!" He didn't even bother to read the report; he couldn't understand any of it anyway. His eyes darkened as he stared at Xia Ran, his patience completely exhausted. At this point, he couldn't withstand any more provocation. "Explain yourself clearly. Don't use those jargon that only people in your circle understand. I just need one sentence from you: what have you discovered? Is it good or bad for Sisi?"
