Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 818 - 403: Protection or Detention? Two Accidents

Li Yaoming was truly a bit embarrassed.

After all, he had just spoken to Luo Fei.

He had been leasing the land all this time to protect the clues.

Now, someone immediately came to ask if he wanted to sell the land.

There was no doubt that someone was deliberately trying to undermine Li Yaoming.

Thinking about this,

he started to break out in a cold sweat.

"Mr. Li, could it be that we got it wrong? In that view, perhaps someone gave us misinformation."

Upon hearing this casual voice,

Li Yaoming quickly agreed.

"Yes, I guess that's probably what happened..."

"However, miss, the reason I never listed this land for sale before is because it originally belonged to my brother, Boss Wang. Now that he's no longer around, perhaps I shouldn't overthink it."

As Li Yaoming spoke, he seemed a bit awkward.

He appeared as if he wanted to say more but then stopped.

Luo Fei, who was beside him, understood. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Li Yaoming wanted to prove that he wasn't deliberately playing games with Luo Fei and the others.

It was just at this point that the person on the other end of the phone suddenly became impatient.

"Mr. Li, after all that you've said, I still don't quite understand."

"Do you actually want to sell this land or not?"

Li Yaoming noticed a hint of impatience from the other party and immediately responded.

"Miss, I can sell the land. It's just that I might need some time. I wonder if you could give me a little while to sort things out."

"I estimate that in a couple of days, once the paperwork for the land is ready, we can proceed with the transfer agreement."

After hearing Li Yaoming's words,

the young lady laughed.

"Oh, I understand what you mean, Mr. Li. It seems that someone is looking to buy the land. Are you hesitating because of the price?"

"It's fine; in business, naturally, the highest bidder wins. Frankly, my superior is interested in this piece of land, which is why I approached you directly."

"So how about this: no matter what high price they offer, we will offer double. This should ease Mr. Li's concerns, right?"

The young lady's tone was very earnest.

Li Yaoming found it almost unbelievable.

"Young lady, I don't even know how to address you. Are you serious?"

"Why would I have any reason to lie? In business matters, my boss is never vague in the slightest, so you can rest assured, Mr. Li."

Upon hearing this voice,

Li Yaoming finally let out a small sigh of relief.

"Young lady, once I get their offer, I'll let you know. You will keep your promise, right?"

"Of course. Rest assured, Mr. Li. If you don't believe me, I can send you my company's certificate and brochures right now."

Shortly afterward, the young lady sent over her company's documents,

keeping to her word.

But as the call ended,

Li Yaoming appeared worried and distressed.

"Mr. Luo, what do you think this young lady's background is? Could she be calling to take my life?"

Li Yaoming was genuinely a bit scared.

Because the other party was so confident and decisive,

it indicated their substantial financial strength.

And they knew directly that Li Yaoming intended to sell the land soon.

This very possibly meant the other party already knew Li Yaoming planned to provide Luo Fei and his team with clues.

Just thinking about that,

Li Yaoming was already trembling.

But seeing Li Yaoming filled with unease, seemingly very frightened,

Luo Fei just smiled it off.

"Mr. Li, after all this, you're really such a coward?"

It seemed a bit unbelievable to Luo Fei,

as if he couldn't believe someone would be so timid.

Li Yaoming could only sigh.

"Mr. Luo, it's not just me. I fear anyone in my shoes would probably feel the same way."

"Moreover, she called right after Wang Chuan's murder, so I'm worried my days may be numbered!"

Li Yaoming couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Next to him, Su Manying continued to sneer.

"Mr. Li, since you did those things in your early years, you should have realized this day would come eventually. No matter how upset you get, it's futile."

Su Manying couldn't help her hand from shaking with anger.

Li Yaoming had no choice but to sigh.

"I know I've made mistakes, but now that I've provided Mr. Luo with evidence, I hope he'll protect me as a tainted witness. That's not too much to ask, is it?"

Li Yaoming chuckled awkwardly.

His thick-skinned, irritating grin made Su Manying want to slap him and kick him a few times, just to vent the anger on behalf of her parents and the deceased back then.

"Mr. Li, you're right. You've provided enough evidence to possibly be pardoned for some of your past crimes. However, for what you did back then, you still deserve to be detained."

"After all, only by staying in detention can our police ensure your safety to the fullest extent."

Luo Fei's words froze the smile on Li Yaoming's face.

"Mr. Luo, do you mean to detain me?"

Li Yaoming was utterly dumbfounded, his face full of shock.

Luo Fei was noncommittal.

"Of course, since you are our priority protection subject for now. Only by detaining you can we ensure your safety without exhausting other public resources to the fullest extent."
