Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 315: Adding More Fuel to the Fire

"Boss, do you know who that guy is? We followed him this morning and found out that he’s newly transferred to the city. In less than six months, he’s already become the most promising and reliable young leader around," Gao Huabin quickly reported everything he had discovered.

In the end, he couldn’t help but sigh, "It’s a good thing that sister-in-law stopped us last night. If we had really made a fuss without being prepared, there’s no way we could have pressed them down."

"Keep a close watch, but don’t alert them. Pay attention to the people he’s in contact with," Qin Kaize immediately sensed that this person might not be simple.

In just half a year, the man had garnered such a good reputation. But in reality, how long had he known Su Xinyue? Despite the fact that she was a married woman, he still dared to make such a bold move. How exactly did he earn this good reputation? That’s a big question mark.

Qin Kaize was silent for a few seconds, feeling that Jiajia might have already known the real problem with this man.

"Don’t worry, Boss. We’ll be extra careful. By the way, Boss, please tell sister-in-law that Zhu Zirui and I have been pressing oil every day according to her method. Xu Lian has collected everything available in the surrounding areas and is now secretly collecting in other city districts. But it’s still not enough--the people on the black market who have been in contact with sister-in-law are pushing too hard. The Hair Growth Solution is working very well, and they want large quantities. The Whitening Lotion is in high demand too--they want as much as we can supply. The delivery truck will set off at noon today, carrying six thousand bottles, and will arrive by tomorrow noon. How much of the Hair Growth Solution and Whitening Lotion has sister-in-law prepared? I need to inform Qiu Yanqing--people are fighting over territory like crazy, and the demand for these two products is so high that it’s almost tearing their areas apart. Especially since he has people above him--his wife and daughter are making a fuss, and he said he can barely hold them back."

Gao Huabin rambled on, eager to share every detail with Qin Kaize.

"You can find more people and transport more bottles. Be careful not to get noticed. Also, make sure someone is keeping an eye on Qin Mingchen and my old residence--don’t let the blood of those two people stain my family’s ancestral home." He remembered Jiajia’s instructions and quickly reminded Gao Huabin.

"Alright, I’ll get someone to keep an eye on the old residence right after this call, and find someone to watch Qin Mingchen around the clock," Gao Huabin’s tone grew more serious.

The ancestral home was too important--if it got tainted, it would be hard to feel at peace. It absolutely had to be well guarded.

Qin Kaize hung up the phone and went to the police station. When his friend saw him, he immediately approached and gave him a punch on the shoulder.

"You rascal! You got better and didn’t even come to see me? If I hadn’t had a meal with Dahai, I wouldn’t have known that you were already up and about."

"I just got some free time to come see you," Qin Kaize replied with a faint smile that was almost invisible.

But Xiang Yiyang was already used to his demeanor. Raising an eyebrow, he asked curiously, "Come on, what brings you here this time?"

Although Qin Kaize was no longer with the team, he always had plenty to keep him busy. There wasn’t a single day he could afford to be idle.

"Yesterday, a woman named Wang Futong in the city was assaulted and claimed it was me and my wife. Your men went to the island early this morning to arrest us, scaring my wife," Qin Kaize’s calm demeanor masked an intense, almost suffocating anger.

"How could they handle things this way!" Xiang Yiyang cursed under his breath, then looked at Qin Kaize with an apologetic expression. "Don’t worry, I’ll make sure the people who scared your wife get written up, and I’ll have them personally apologize to her. As for that woman, once I confirm her condition in the hospital, if she’s not seriously injured, I’ll bring her in for detention."

They had held several meetings emphasizing that, without concrete evidence, they couldn’t disrupt people’s lives. Those officers had clearly disregarded this rule, going so far as to board the island to arrest someone. If this blew up, how could their little police station handle it?

As for Wang Futong... There might not be a defamation lawsuit, but deliberately providing false information and using the police for revenge was certainly enough to get her locked up.

"She’s not seriously hurt. Let her return to the island, then come back and arrest her half a day later," Qin Kaize said calmly.

Xiang Yiyang was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head with a mix of frustration and amusement. "I never imagined that getting married would make you turn out like this."

Letting her return now would allow everyone on the island to know she had been beaten and then taken away again, ensuring she lost face thoroughly.

"If I don’t cherish my wife, who will?" Qin Kaize was not embarrassed at all by the teasing; in fact, he was rather proud.

But after saying that, his tone grew heavier. "How long can Wang Futong be sentenced for?"

"Sentenced? She’d be better off sent to a labor camp. With a solid case, three years is a sure thing. You can decide which camp she goes to," Xiang Yiyang didn’t think a short stint in jail would do much. The real punishment was sending her to a labor camp where she might come out unrecognizable.

"That’s no good. In a week, those who were sent to the camps and mountains will start returning. Her uncle is a leader in the Ministry of Domestic Affairs, so getting her out wouldn’t be hard," Qin Kaize’s calm tone couldn’t hide his murderous intent.

"Really?" Xiang Yiyang was surprised. Although he was a leader, he didn’t have the same access to information as the team did. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If you insist, we can lock her up in a detention center for three months if we dig in our heels."

"Three months is enough," Qin Kaize was satisfied with this outcome.

But seeing him so agreeable made Xiang Yiyang more suspicious. "Be honest, do you have something else planned?"

He certainly did. If Wang Futong was sentenced to three months in detention, her husband, Xue Qianhao, would have to leave the team because they were on the same household register. He wouldn’t allow that to happen, so Xue Qianhao would scramble to reach out to everyone he could to make things right.

Qin Kaize didn’t have the patience to let these two pests keep jumping around, upsetting his little wife. Once Xue Qianhao’s entire network was brought down, even if Wang Futong wasn’t involved or knew nothing, her status as a convicted felon would ensure she could never find a decent job or husband again. She would be unable to return to the island, living the rest of her life like a rat in the gutter, never to appear before Jiajia again.

But these calculations were something Qin Kaize would never share with Xiang Yiyang.

"No, there’s nothing else. Just make sure things are arranged quickly. I’m heading back." Having finished, he wasn’t even inclined to stay for tea and was about to leave. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Xiang Yiyang quickly grabbed him. "Let me know when you have time--I’d like to treat you and your wife to dinner."

"Sure," Qin Kaize didn’t refuse. After all, they would be coming to the city often, and he wanted Jiajia to meet his friends.
