CHAPTER 55: 55. LIKE TO PLAY? PLAY UNTIL YOU DROP!

The colleague picked up the doll, lifted the skirt, and exclaimed, "Like to play? Play yourself to death!"

Li普曼 also came over upon hearing the commotion and put his arm around Shi Nian’s shoulder, "Shi, are you okay?"

Shi Nian took deep breaths, but his eyes were no longer flustered, "I’m fine. Initially, I was shocked, but now I’m okay."

Ye He still looked unsettled, "Boss, this outfit is the same one our chief wore to Yanwu Square that night. They must be warning the chief not to write about Tong’s wife."

"Call the police!" Li普曼 ordered decisively.

.

At the police station, Tang Yanqing pushed open the office door but was greeted by a different atmosphere.

The detectives were gathered in a circle, all smiling as they looked at the girl standing in the middle. The police inspector looked over with amusement, "Yanqing, come meet our new colleague."

Tang Yanqing raised an eyebrow.

The girl walked over and bowed formally, "Mr. Tang, nice to meet you. I’m Tang Yan Yi, please guide me."

Tang Yanqing looked Tang Yan Yi up and down, but instead of smiling as everyone expected, he squinted his eyes, "What a joke. I told you not to come to our station, yet here you are?"

All the colleagues were somewhat surprised, Tang Yan Yi’s face flushed with embarrassment, and she awkwardly joked, "Oh, haven’t I always been at odds with you since we were young? You say no, I insist on yes."

Tang Yanqing immediately turned and left, "Apologize to everyone. This is work, not child’s play. Tang Mingxiang’s daughter shouldn’t say such unprofessional things."

Tang Yan Yi stood stunned, while the police inspector quickly mediated, "See? He was completely unprepared for you choosing our station, he’s shocked out of his wits."

Everyone also said comforting words and dispersed. Tang Yan Yi bit her lip and still approached, "I just wanted to give you a surprise... What’s wrong with you today, who upset you?"

Tang Yanqing’s pager suddenly sounded, "Deep Throat Group’s editorial center has reported threats; there’s a threatening item in the office..."

Tang Yanqing sprang to his feet and glanced at Jia Tianzi. Jia Tianzi hadn’t yet swallowed his sip of coffee, quickly tossed the coffee cup aside, and followed him out.

.

During the wait for the police officers, no one dared to touch the scene.

Li普曼 advised Shi Nian, "Since it’s related to the draft, for personal safety, you may request to temporarily suspend the interview for that topic."

Shi Nian took a deep breath, "Boss, we are all ’Charlie.’ Since I’m in this line of work, I will never bow to threats. Their threats will only motivate me to expose their true colors."

"Sir, please this way."

As they were speaking, the receptionist brought over two police officers.

Shi Nian looked up only to see it was Tang Yanqing, and couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

Li普曼 personally stepped forward to shake hands, "Both sirs, I am Li普曼. I am in charge of the editorial center." While speaking, he introduced Shi Nian, "This is our journalist Shi Nian; the threatening item was sent to her."

Jia Tianzi also introduced himself, but when it was Tang Yanqing’s turn, he stalled. He stood with one hand in his pants pocket, head held high, looking in Shi Nian’s direction through a pair of sunglasses.

It was as though Li普曼, who had extended his hand in front of him, didn’t exist at all.
