Chapter 444: I Want to File a Report Too
The surveillance footage ends here because Zhou Ming and the twins have exited the elevator and were quickly apprehended by the police.
Tang Feng sneered, "Miss Mei, do you have anything left to explain? This is evidence after all."
Before Mei Ruyan could speak, Lin Tian interrupted, "This is evidence? How come I feel it’s just a setup? This kind of testimony wouldn’t be convincing in court, right?"
Tang Feng snorted and turned to Zhou Ming, "You’ve seen all this, now tell me again what you came here for?"
Zhou Ming glanced at everyone present from the corner of his eye and hesitantly said, "I heard from a friend that there’s a large poker room here, so I thought I’d come take a look."
Tang Feng showed interest, "Which friend?"
Zhou Ming lowered his head and replied, "A business friend. He mentioned the place was big, and with some luck, you could double your stake."
After speaking, Zhou Ming pulled out a dozen hundred-thousand-yuan chips from his pocket, with the logo ’Xianglong’ printed on the back.
Tang Feng nodded satisfactorily and then asked, "Miss Mei, no further explanation?"
Mei Ruyan replied flatly, "Framed."
Tang Feng’s face darkened, and as he was about to speak, Mei Ruyan interjected, "I believe this person was sent by someone to set me up. If you can find anything in this company that convinces me, then I have nothing more to say."
"Alright then, as Miss Mei has said, please show us the past surveillance footage." Tang Feng sneered.
Mei Ruyan nodded and instructed the surveillance room staff, "Show them the past footage."
Soon, the footage was retrieved.
The surveillance footage showed the eighth floor of Xianglong Tea House from the previous month. However, the footage contained no gambling paraphernalia or gamblers, only the same decor as the current eighth floor with people tasting tea and chatting at traditional tables.
There was even a tea art performance, as if all of it took place entirely within Xianglong Tea House.
The footage rolled back another day, and it was the same as before. Besides the tea art performance, someone in the center even set up a table and started telling stand-up comedy.
The surveillance footage rolled back several more days, and it was mostly the same.
Lin Tian’s earlier worry instantly vanished like smoke, but he was puzzled about how things had changed like this.
Seeing Lin Tian’s confused look, Mei Ruyan chuckled but did not explain.
Tang Feng’s square face suddenly turned dark. He hadn’t expected even the footage to look like this.
"Leave two people here to copy the surveillance footage. Let’s go."
Tang Feng snorted coldly and was about to leave when Lin Tian blocked his way, "Mr. Tang, were you checking here because someone reported you?"
Tang Feng nodded irritably.
"Then does Mr. Tang know someone named Du Dahai?" Lin Tian asked.
Tang Feng’s face stiffened instantly, "I don’t know any Du Dahai or Du Xiaohai. What’s your point?"
"Could it be that Mr. Tang accepted money from someone and is now doing a vigorous search?" Lin Tian laughed.
Tang Feng was furious, "You’re framing me! I’m doing my duty, it’s expected. Do you think I’ve been bribed? You should know, just saying this could land you in a lot of trouble!"
Lin Tian had a look of realization on his face, nodded satisfactorily, then tapped Tang Feng’s shoulder, "Mr. Tang, I also want to report someone."
Tang Feng brushed Lin Tian’s hand off his shoulder with annoyance, "Who do you want to report?"
"Du Dahai. He’s the big boss of the underground scene, not only running poker rooms but also selling contraband. I’m reporting him under my real name." Lin Tian laughed.
Tang Feng’s expression changed, "You’re aware you need to take responsibility for your words."
Lin Tian nodded, "I’m responsible for what I say. But I’m curious when you’ll go search his place?"
"This matter needs to be filed first, it’s not something you can say to search, and we’ll search."
Having said this with irritation, Tang Feng strode away, leaving two officers to copy the footage, and others followed outside.
However, Tang Feng had not gone far when suddenly he squatted down and fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and screamed in agony, "Ah! My stomach!"
Tang Feng’s sudden scream threw everyone into confusion, and they all rushed over.
"Boss? What’s wrong with you?" A policeman hurried to lift Tang Feng’s body.
"My stomach hurts, it’s like someone’s kicking inside of me." Tang Feng’s face was contorted with pain.
Lin Tian laughed, "Then I should congratulate Mr. Tang, it must be a pregnancy."
"Pfft..." Mei Ruyan covered her mouth and laughed, then gave Lin Tian a playful glance, "You’re so mean?"
Tang Feng clutched his belly, the pain spreading throughout, even sweat dripped from his forehead.
Hearing Lin Tian’s words, Tang Feng pointed at Lin Tian, gritting his teeth, "It’s you! You did something to me!"
Tang Feng vividly remembered Lin Tian patting his shoulder earlier, then feeling a breeze beneath his clothes.
At the time, he thought it was just his imagination, but looking back, it was surely Lin Tian’s doing.
Of course, Lin Tian wouldn’t admit it. He mimicked Tang Feng’s tone, "Mr. Tang, you’re framing! You should know, just saying this could land you in a lot of trouble!"
Lin Tian’s mimicked words made Tang Feng so angry he could hardly breathe. There was no time to argue with Lin Tian, he urged his fellow officers, "Why are you still standing here! Take me to the hospital!"
The group of officers then gathered themselves, carried Tang Feng on their back, glared at Lin Tian, and ran out.
Watching their distant backs, Lin Tian smirked internally.
Even if you go to the hospital, those doctors won’t be able to help. Spiritual Qi isn’t something an ordinary person can resolve.
After all the officers had left, Lin Tian and Mei Ruyan exchanged glances, Mei Ruyan first asked, "What did you do to that Tang guy?"
Lin Tian shrugged, "Nothing much, just a breeze."
Seeing Mei Ruyan’s puzzled expression, Lin Tian further explained, "Don’t worry, it won’t be fatal. He’ll be in pain for about half an hour and then recover. He’s Du Dahai’s man after all."
Mei Ruyan looked at him as if he were a monster, although she didn’t know what method Lin Tian employed. But seeing Tang Feng’s painful appearance, just half an hour could make him faint several times?
