On the third afternoon of YiHan following JingYuan into the office, YiHan received a call from Captain Chen Jing to invite him to the station to help clarify further details about the case.

However when YiHan and JingYuan arrived at the police station, they walked into a dramatic scene.

The centre of the drama was even someone they knew – Li Sun. He had clearly been drinking and he had an arm around a pretty, in a clean and pure way, girl.

"Don't you fricking know who I am?" he arrogantly shouted. "You dare question me? Me! Who gave you the balls to do that? Do you even have the right to talk to me? With a single phone call, I can strip your police uniform away from you right now!"

Fang Yi who was standing opposite to him had a dark, stern look on him. "Mr Li, this is just routine questioning about Mr Bai's kidnapping. Please cooperate with us."

Li Sun was furious. His spit was flying everywhere. "Stop using Little Master Bai to threaten me! How is his kidnapping any of my flipping business? I'm not the kidnapper anyway!"

"The mastermind of this case, Feng Qun, was close to you, Mr Li," Fang Yi patiently explained. "The police hoped to get some clues from the people he's usually close to. This is also the duty of a citizen. Please cooperate."

Li Sun instantly puffed out his chest. "Bullshit!" he screamed in rage. "Are you fricking saying I was colluding with Feng Qun? Are you flipping blind? You dog! I'm telling you right now that Bai YiHan's kidnapping had nothing to do with me! Stop trying to throw blame at me! Also, you're through at this job now! You don't need to yap on here. You don't need to come to work tomorrow! To hell with your questioning!"

The moment Li Sun was finished with his rant, he flung his arm out in a fit of rage as he turned to stomp out the door. Fang Yi was about to run after him when he saw the man, woman in tow, backing away from the door and towards him once more. The red flush of inebriation was gone. His face had turned pale white.

"L-Little Master B-Bai," Li Sun stuttered as he retreated.

Fang Yi was pleasantly surprised. YiHan bounced over from the door with JingYuan calmly striding behind him. The young man gave Li Sun a side-eye that hinted at laughter as he passed the terrified man.

"Officer Fang," YiHan greeted, a hand stretched out for a handshake.

"Mr Bai, why are you here?" Fang Yi happily asked. As if he was shocked by the honour, he hurriedly reached out and shook the stretched-out hand.

"Captain Chen called me," YiHan replied. "He said there was something he'd like to discuss, so I came. That also meant I could come visit you. I've been wanting to treat you to a meal after I was discharged but I was scared you'd be busy with my case. I didn't dare to disturb you. It's why I only came to find you after so long."

Li Sun's face wasn't just pale. It was a sickly pale green. Cold sweat was dripping down his face. Just who is this puny police officer? What about him made Little Master Bai treat him so courteously? If the man had such a strong background, why would he become some insignificant policeman? If he knew the man was close with Little Master Bai, he wouldn't have dared to scold and insult the man! Not even if he was threatened with death!

It wasn't just Li Sun. Everyone in the room silently gasped in shock. Many of them were now flipping through their memories in horror. Had they offended Fang Yi or done anything against him?

"You're too polite, Mr Bai," Fang Yi replied with a carefree smile and an embarrassed scratch to his chin. "You could've just called me."

"Officer Ye, you seemed to have encounter a problem?" YiHan smiled back. "I heard a little of the commotion at the door. It's quite lively here." He then turned to Li Sun, his smile dampening. "You must be so very powerful, Mr Li. You could actually just fire a police officer, a public servant, just on a whim."
