CHAPTER 201: CHAPTER 119: DEATH TRACK

Under Xia Yun’s insistence, Xia You underwent another full-body checkup, finding no serious issues.

Her cell phone and military ID were delivered to the Xia Family by the Bazhou City Police, but what came with it was an indictment against Simon, listing numerous charges: from suspected assault on police to organized crime, even his robbery crimes from years earlier were all included.

The arrest incident at the hospital seemed to have made Xia Yun face reality, so after she returned home, she didn’t bring up anything about Simon again.

Mo Xixi also knew about the incident at Xia You’s house and came over under the pretense of comforting them but also to freeload a meal, bringing shocking news that the suspect related to the arms dealing case had been arrested. The lead came from the Armed Department, and the National Security Department coordinated the arrest.

"It can’t be Li Zhen," Xia You voiced her doubts while sitting in the courtyard at home, having just heard from Mo Xixi that Li Zhen was the mastermind behind the case.

"I also don’t think it’s her, but the missing fifty million was found in Li Zhen’s personal account. The transaction record shows that within ten minutes after I transferred the money to the Red Crescent’s account, someone transferred it into Li Zhen’s account. Moreover, several handguns related to the ’arms’ case were found at Li Zhen’s home with her fingerprints on them," all of this was discovered while Xia You was detained in the Bazhou Police Station, being coerced to confess by Cai Yang.

At that time, Mo Xixi was just tracking the flow of the money on her home computer, and when she found the money had been moved to Li Zhen’s account, people had already reported Li Zhen’s suspicions to the military region.

"The person who made the report, you know him, it’s Yu Xiaonan from the Armed Department," Xia You and the other two entered "Golden Splendor", but because of the interludes involving Ren Minghang and the Xia Family, Xia You and Mo Xixi were delayed quite a bit.

"Yu Xiaonan, how did he find out?" Xia You remembered that Yu Xiaonan shouldn’t have had a chance to interact with Li Zhen at all. Li Zhen was an old employee at "Golden Splendor", and she usually couldn’t care less about dealing with newbies, and ever since she became a follower of the David Sect, she cut off most socializing with men and women.

Li Zhen and Yu Xiaonan indeed did not have much interaction; after the three of them infiltrated "Golden Splendor," they only met once. But during that one time, Li Zhen had a confrontation with Yu Xiaonan.

That incident happened the same night Xia You first took sick leave. Mo Xixi was assigned by Li Zhen to sell drinks in a regular box, while Li Zhen was in charge of three VIP boxes on the third floor.

Li Zhen was quite lucky that night, selling over a dozen mid-range foreign liquors in the first two boxes, which was a very good performance for Li Zhen, who was over thirty. After all, every man who went to a KTV wanted to see young and beautiful girls who were good at telling dirty jokes.

However, according to the "Princesses" and "Young Masters" present, Li Zhen’s mood wasn’t good at the time. During gaps in drink selling, she’d often sneak off to smoke. Li Zhen wasn’t a heavy smoker, but in the days leading up to the arrest, she always smelled of smoke, and there were several empty cigarette packs accumulated in the rest room.

In the last box, which was filled with a group of young female guests, Li Zhen recommended only a few sweet-tasting fruit wines based on her experience. Yu Xiaonan, one of the "Young Masters" serving as accompaniment at the time, suggested that Li Zhen upsell the stronger liquors, seeing the attractive female guests.

Those female guests were also playful and dragged Li Zhen into drinking a few "Deep Water Bombs" with them.

Li Zhen, getting drunk, turned into a microphone hog, fighting over the mic with Yu Xiaonan. And the song she chose to sing...

When Yu Xiaonan received Xia You’s call, he was just about to log into "Military Road". He had been living a life of reversed days and nights, busy catching up on his "beauty sleep" during the day, and having to play the role of a devoted "Young Master" at night. It had not been easy to complete his mission, and when Xia You brought up the matter about Li Zhen, his tone was full of reluctance.

There was no problem with Li Zhen and Yu Xiaonan fighting over the microphone, but the song she chose to sing touched Yu Xiaonan’s bottom line.

"I heard you have some prejudice against her, did something happen between you two on the night of singing in the box?" Yu Xiaonan, who usually presented himself as an intimate and gentlemanly man in front of women, abruptly darkened his expression and stormed out of the box. Following that, Li Zhen’s arrest ensued.
