Return Of The Soldier King Chapter 114 The Wallet

"I'm sorry, but this is obviously not extortion," Ye Fei smiled amicably. "You can certainly choose to refuse..."

He signaled the waitress to stop counting the money.

Yuan Chen felt his blood boil. He just wanted to get out of there.

However, he had already introduced himself as the son of Party Committee Secretary Yuan. If he walked out on this bill, he would not only lose his own face, but his father's face as well.

Although Yuan Chen was so angry that his fists were shaking, he eventually growled through gritted teeth, "Fine, I'll borrow the money."

The loan was clearly usury, but he decided to rush home and pay Ye Fei off as fast as possible.

After amending the IOU, he handed it to Ye Fei.

As Ye Fei looked it over, he laughed, "Mr. Yuan is really a clever person. You can find me at Shanghai University to pay me back. If it's late, you can find me at the Purple Apartments residential complex."

"Purple Apartments?"

Yuan Chen was stunned. Purple Apartments was where Murong lived. "Are you neighbors?"

"Neighbors?" Ye Fei deliberately said. "No, no, we're not neighbors. We live together." 　

"Murong... Do you really live together?" Yuan Chen couldn't believe it.

Murong knew that Ye Fei had deliberately mentioned that in order to make Yuan Chen give up on her, so she leveled her gaze at him and plainly said, "Well... Yes, we are living together."

A strange smile hung on Yuan Chen mouth as he muttered through gritted teeth, "I hope you two will have a healthy child."

"I have always wanted to take Murong out for a meal in a fancy western restaurant, but we really couldn't afford it. Today you have realized my wish. I am truly touched," Ye Fei said pleasantly, driving home Yuan Chen's humiliation.

Yuan Chen felt stupid. He only wanted to date Murong because he didn't think she really had a boyfriend.

He refrained from speaking anymore because he was too angry. If he continued to talk to Ye Fei, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from punching him in the teeth, but he clearly knew he couldn't lay one finger on him.

After settling the bill, Yuan Chen immediately rushed to his car and drove home to collect the money, while Ye Fei leisurely walked out of the western restaurant with Murong.

"Ye Fei, thank you for this," Murong said, blus.h.i.+ng slightly. After all, this was technically her first date with him.

To tell the truth, his refined style and rich experience deeply fascinated her.

Did she really like Ye Fei, an internationally wanted criminal? Wasn't that too ridiculous?

"Don't thank me," he said with a bright smile. "I met that fool thanks to you. While he's out getting the money, I'm going to make around twenty or thirty thousand Yuan."

Murong frowned and slowly said, "Usury leads to no good. His father is the party committee secretary, remember? You can't push him too hard, or you'll end up in a tough spot."

"Don't worry, I know that," he smiled. "Now, I need to go back to pick up Manager Lin. What are you going to do?"

"I have stuff to do at the station," she said. "You'll find your own way back, right?"

Ye Fei nodded and she headed back to her car. Her shook his head as he watched her walk away.　

Murong was a good girl, but she was a bit too righteous.　

Of course, a sense of righteousness was a good thing for a cop to have. However, the world is complicated and she did not know how to bend the rules. He thought this would lead her to hards.h.i.+p one day.

Ye Fei hung around for a short while, not in a hurry to go to Shanghai University. After a moment, he was inconspicuously approached by Li Bin.

"What should I do with the wallet?" he said.

"What's in it? Let me see."

Ye Fei took the wallet from Li Bin and found just over two thousand Yuan in cash inside. The rest were bank cards, an ID card, and a driver's license.

Ye Fei took out the ID card and the driver's license, then handed the wallet back to Li Bin. "Take the money. As for the bank cards, throw them into the sewer. I wouldn't dare to use them if I were you. The man you met just now, his father is the Shangahi party committee secretary."

"What! Seriously?" Li Bin never thought he would steal money from the son of the party committee secretary. He knew there were some people you simply shouldn't steal from.

The police wouldn't put that much effort into their investigation if he just pickpocketed regular people on public transport or in crowded streets, but for some people, taking even the smallest thing from them would result in a desperate manhunt by the authorities.

Li Bin said goodbye to Ye Fei and then threw the wallet down the nearest drain. With the evidence destroyed, he felt a little relieved.　　

Ye Fei looked at Yuan Chen's ID card and driver's license in his hand and thought for a while. Ultimately, he decided to hold on to these two items.

He was an internationally wanted criminal, so using his own ID in certain places would definitely alert the police. Yuan Chen's ID card might be of use some day.

Ye Fei went to a nearby bank to transfer money to the families of his comrades, then went to pick up Lin Qingwan.
