Chapter 237 Almost Made Someone Die of Anger

Sensing the brief change, Ye Shaohong immediately lowered his head.

Ye Shaohong didn't want Zheng Yaoxian to find out that he had sensed Zheng Yaoxian's thoughts.

She didn't want her emotional changes to expose Zheng Yaoxian's scheme and let the equally astute Mao Renfeng and Xu Baichuan notice it.

Therefore, the best option is to pretend not to see it.

Fortunately, Zheng Yaoxian reacted quickly and immediately put his thoughts aside.

Ye Shaohong was no less capable; he immediately cleared his mind of distractions and turned to look at Xu Baichuan.

Xu Baichuan stood there with a sullen face, coldly staring at Li Peilin.

Although he didn't say anything, his attitude of kicking Li Peilin when he was down still made Li Peilin's face twitch immediately.

However, Li Peilin had already learned his lesson, so even though he saw Xu Baichuan's indifferent expression, he couldn't very well jump out and confront Xu Baichuan again in front of Mao Renfeng.

Seeing that the farce had been resolved, Mao Renfeng finally smiled again.

"hehe!"

"That's more like it. We're all good brothers, why make things so awkward?"

"Director Xu, Section Chief Zheng, you've been wronged."

"Brother, I'm here to apologize on behalf of Director Li. The Director has already heard about this matter, and I believe he will give you an explanation."

After calming Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian down, Mao Renfeng finally turned his attention to Ye Shaohong.

No one knows what this smiling tiger was thinking, but he actually patted Ye Shaohong on the shoulder in front of everyone before waving his hand to push aside the crowd and walking out.

With Mao Renfeng gone, Li Peilin no longer has to play the subservient role.

He raised his head and looked coldly at Xu Baichuan, as if he was about to speak again, but before he could move, Xu Baichuan walked towards him first.

When Xu Baichuan reached Li Peilin, he suddenly leaned down and whispered a few words in Li Peilin's ear in a very low voice.

After a few words, Xu Baichuan straightened his back again, turned around and left.

Li Peilin, on the other hand, was visibly trembling all over. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and his face had turned ashen liver-colored.

"No!" "That's impossible, you're lying to me!"

"Xu Baichuan, stop right there and explain yourself!"

After a brief moment of anger, Li Peilin, for reasons unknown, disregarded his status and threw a tantrum in front of everyone.

Hearing the shouts from behind, Xu Baichuan paused.

He didn't look back.

He simply stood there and let out a cold, muffled groan.

"Lie to you?"

"I have no interest in that."

"You're willing to be a sucker and be used as a pawn, that's because you're blind to the truth. I originally wanted to help you, but you didn't appreciate it!"

After saying this, Xu Baichuan suddenly tilted his head back and burst into laughter. Zheng Yaoxian and Ye Shaohong blinked, and after a brief moment of thought, they roughly guessed what Xu Baichuan had just said to Li Peilin, and smiles also appeared on their faces.

Without glancing at Li Peilin, who was nearly fainting from anger, the two followed Xu Baichuan out of the room.

When no one was around, Zheng Yaoxian was the first to laugh.

Then Ye Shaohong smiled too.

"Ha ha!"

"Director Xu, how come I didn't realize you were so wicked?"

"You really angered Li Peilin just now."

"It's easy to imagine that he won't be able to eat or sleep tonight."

Zheng Yaoxian and Xu Baichuan have a very good relationship; they're practically brothers in arms. That's why he can joke around so freely in front of Xu Baichuan. Ye Shaohong, however, is not allowed to make such jokes.

But he could express his agreement, following behind Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian at a leisurely pace, with Ye Shaohong occasionally offering words of praise such as "uh-huh," "not bad," and "indeed."

The three of them worked together very well.

Amidst laughter and conversation, the three entered Xu Baichuan's office. After taking their seats, Xu Baichuan personally brewed a cup of tea for Zheng Yaoxian and Ye Shaohong.

Only when Zheng Yaoxian took out the cigarette case and distributed the cigarettes did Xu Baichuan look at Ye Shaohong with a smile.

"Shao Hong, guess what I said to Li Peilin?"

Upon hearing Xu Baichuan's question, Zheng Yaoxian lit a cigarette, crossed his legs, and looked at Ye Shaohong with a smile.

"Hey."

"It's not hard to guess, is it?" "Director Xu, you must have told Li Peilin that it was Wu Pei who leaked the information to the Party Affairs Investigation Department, which led to the tragic death of his brother-in-law, Murong Han."

"The reason he was ambushed and killed on the way was because of information betrayed by Wu Pei."

"Li Peilin treated Wu Pei as a trusted subordinate, but unexpectedly, the subordinate he protected with all his might stabbed him in the back in the end. How could Li Peilin not be angry!"

Ye Shaohong stood up, lit a cigarette for Xu Baichuan, and then leisurely revealed the truth of his guess.

Xu Baichuan burst into laughter upon hearing this.

He pointed at Ye Shaohong, but in the end he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Yes."

“That’s exactly it. You didn’t see it up close. When I said that Murong Han’s death was related to Wu Pei, Li Peilin’s entire face froze. His lips were twitching.”

"I even wondered if he might have a heart attack and die suddenly on me."

Xu Baichuan couldn't help but laugh whenever he recalled Li Peilin's face, which had been arrogant and boastful one moment and then turned as black as the bottom of a pot the next.

Zheng Yaoxian, meanwhile, was shaking his head.

The three chatted about this and that for more than ten minutes in the office before Ye Shaohong remembered Wu Pei, who had been arrested and imprisoned in the underground cell. He immediately stood up.

"Director Xu, Section Chief Zheng, you two continue chatting, I won't keep you company."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Shaohong stood up, making a move to turn around and leave.

To Ye Shaohong's surprise, just as he announced his intention to leave, Zheng Yaoxian, who was standing next to him, also stood up.

"Shao Hong, are you going to interrogate Wu Pei?" "Perfect timing, I have nothing to do right now, I'll go with you and see what's going on."

This surprised Ye Shaohong greatly. He stopped and turned around, a smile returning to his face.

"Okay."

"With Zheng Ke personally taking charge, I can save myself some trouble."

"It's a good opportunity for me to learn interrogation techniques from you."

Xu Baichuan knew that Zheng Yaoxian and Ye Shaohong had always been close, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with Zheng Yaoxian's sudden request.

She smiled and agreed.

"You go ahead."

"The underground cell was cold and damp; my body couldn't take it."

"Once you get the results of the interrogation, don't forget to give me a call." After leaving Xu Baichuan's office, Zheng Yaoxian and Ye Shaohong walked together. Looking at the slender figure walking half a body length ahead of him, Ye Shaohong fell into deep thought again.

"Wu Pei?"

"Zheng Yaoxian has his eye on him?"
