Sai Yang Cai continued, “A Qi forgot to introduce you, this is Prince Bing, and this is Ba Gu.”
A Qi smiled and greeted, “Nice to meet you, you can just call me A Qi.”
Ba Gu and Prince Bing said at the same time, “Nice to meet you!”
Ba Gu curiously asked, “A Qi, what kind of business do you do?”
A Qi proudly said, “The business my family does is quite ordinary, mostly dealing with foreigners.”
Prince Bing excitedly said, “So you’re in the foreign trade business, no wonder your business is so big. No wonder Sai Shao would do business with you.”
A Qi looked at Sai Yang Cai in disbelief and said, “Business deal? You were lying to me? You approached me just to do business with me? I misjudged you.” After saying that, A Qi ran out of the private room.
Sai Yang Cai wanted to chase after him, but Prince Bing stopped him. Sai Yang Cai could only shout, “A Qi, let me explain, let me explain.”
Ba Gu stretched out her hand and said, “What’s there to explain? Just return the money quickly.”
Sai Yang Cai said sadly, “Where do I have money to return? You guys messed everything up.”
Prince Bing put his hands on his waist and said disdainfully, “That’s your own doing, you act like a rich man and try to seduce women.” After saying that, Prince Bing left with Ba Gu.
Li Yu saw Sai Yang Cai like this and patted him on the shoulder and said, “You can’t control this A Qi, be careful yourself.” Li Yu and A Xiang also left the private room.
Sai Yang Cai became even more depressed.
Li Yu left Da San Yuan and sent A Xiang back to the courtyard. Li Yu himself returned to the police station and went into the chief’s office.
Niu Da Chun heard the sound of the door opening and thought it was his subordinate coming in without knocking. He looked up and was about to scold when he saw Li Yu walking in. He said, “A Yu, how come you have time to come here? There’s a tricky case that needs your help. I’ve been bothered by it for days.”
Li Yu smiled and said, “My Big Brother Niu actually has a case that even you find bothersome?”
Niu Da Chun said with a bitter face, “Ai! Don’t make fun of me.”
Li Yu quickly waved his hand and said, “No no, let’s talk about the business. I came back to the police station to investigate someone.”
Niu Da Chun asked curiously, “Investigate someone? Who do you want to investigate?”
Li Yu thought for a moment and said, “A Qi, I don’t know the specifics, but I heard she has a car and a driver to pick her up.”
Niu Da Chun said in surprise, “Could it be the youngest daughter of the Wu family head?”
Li Yu thought in confusion, “The youngest daughter of the Wu family head? The TV series didn’t introduce the real A Qi’s name.” Thinking of this, Li Yu asked, “Niu Ge, what’s the name of the Wu family head’s youngest daughter?”
Seeing Li Yu’s confused expression, Niu Da Chun thought for a moment and said, “The Wu family head’s youngest daughter is called Wu Qing Yue, her nickname is A Qi. You probably don’t know this since you just came here. The Wu family is the richest family in the entire Guangzhou. They frequently do business with foreigners and have many shops abroad. In Guangzhou, everyone is polite to the Wu family. Ai! I’ve been bothered by her case recently.”
Li Yu was surprised. So the Wu family was so rich, but hearing Niu Da Chun’s tone, he felt something had happened to Wu Qing Yue and asked, “Niu Ge, something must have happened to this Wu Qing Yue, right?”
Niu Da Chun nodded and said, “You’re smart, A Yu. You understand immediately. This Wu Qing Yue was kidnapped by a group of unknown kidnappers two days ago. They demanded 50 bars of gold. The Wu family gave it to them, but the kidnappers didn’t release Wu Qing Yue. They probably saw that the Wu family was willing to pay and demanded another 200 bars. The Wu family was a bit annoyed and gave the kidnappers time to raise the gold bars. Then they put pressure on us chiefs, demanding that we find Wu Qing Yue’s location within the next two days.”
Li Yu nodded and said, “I see. I may have some leads. Leave this case to me.”
Niu Da Chun immediately said with a beaming smile, “A Yu, you’re the one who can help me share the burden. I’m counting on you this time.”
Li Yu smiled and said, “Alright, then I’ll go.”
Niu Da Chun smiled and saw Li Yu out to the police station entrance. After seeing Li Yu leave, he returned to his office.
Li Yu returned to the courtyard and immediately went to find Sai Yang Cai to find out more about the fake A Qi. However, Sai Yang Cai was not at home. He turned back and saw Ji Gong Fu drying some preserved plums at the stairwell. He called out, “Fu Ge, have you seen Sai Yang Cai?”
Ji Gong Fu said, “Sai Yang Cai? He just came back and was called upstairs by the landlord.”
Li Yu nodded and said, “Thanks, Fu Ge.” Then he went upstairs.
Ji Gong Fu saw Li Yu in such a hurry and shook his head with a smile.
After being called upstairs by Prince Bing, Sai Yang Cai sat in the chair angrily, not speaking.
Prince Bing smiled and said, “Sai Yang Cai, you don’t need to be so angry. It’s not your money, it won’t end up in your pocket anyway. You want to pursue Seven Miss, you just want to live off her, right?”
Sai Yang Cai tried to save face and said, “I truly like A Qi, it’s not what you think.”
Prince Bing saw through him and said, “Really not what I think? You know it in your heart.”
Ba Gu wanted Sai Yang Cai to return the money she was owed as soon as possible and acted as a peacemaker, saying, “Sai Yang Cai, actually, there’s nothing wrong with living off women. Look at my Bing Ge, he’s not living off women and still dresses so well.”
Prince Bing glared at Ba Gu after hearing her words.
Sai Yang Cai said sarcastically, “Bing Ge, we’re all the same, just doing the same thing.”
Prince Bing saw that he was exposed, that he was also living off women, and said in shame, “Forget it, forget it, let’s not talk about this. Hey, Sai Yang Cai, what are you going to do about the money you owe me? You’ve owed it for a long time.”
Sai Yang Cai said helplessly and angrily, “You think I want to drag it out this long? If it weren’t for the war in the north causing bandits to run wild, my shipment wouldn’t have been robbed. Otherwise, I would be enjoying life now. Why would I need to run around?” As he said this, he stood up excitedly.
Prince Bing also stood up and said, “Hey hey hey, what do you mean by that? You want to default on the debt? If you hadn’t said that shipment would definitely make a profit, I wouldn’t have lent you the money. Now you’re trying to default on the debt, no way!”
Sai Yang Cai pointed at himself and said, “I would default on the debt? Bing Ge, don’t worry, I won’t default on your debt. But I’ll pay it back when I have the money.”
Ba Gu immediately said, “You don’t have to wait to pay back when you have the money. The main thing is how you explain it to Seven Miss.”
Sai Yang Cai said disdainfully, “What’s there to explain? My intentions are already exposed. Why would she listen to my explanation?”
Ba Gu comforted him and said, “It depends on how you explain it to her. If you explain it well, she might forgive you.”
