Conquest of Taboo and Debauchery

Chapter 127: 127: Strong Evidence

Ming Yuexin was visibly surprised when she saw Ye Fei enter her office, but her surprise quickly turned into a bright smile. Although she had been slightly irritated by this cheeky boy during their previous encounter, she couldn't bring herself to dislike him as much as she did other men who ogled her. His behavior seemed more amusing than inappropriate.

Plus, Ye Fei had helped her out last time, and since that embarrassing incident, Zhang Yu hadn't bothered her again, so she was grateful.

Ye Fei was momentarily captivated by Ming Yuexin's radiant smile, which was a rare sight given her usual serious demeanor. For a moment, he forgot the familiarity that had crossed his mind earlier, simply smiling back at her like a fool.

"Well, if it isn't my 'little brother'? What brings you here?" Ming Yuexin teased, recalling the time Ye Fei had pretended to be her brother to mess with Zhang Yu. Her smile grew even brighter as she thought about how nice it would be to have such a playful younger brother for real.

With his confidence bolstered and a thick skin, Ye Fei grinned and said, "I missed my sister, so I came to see you. By the way, is Brother Zhang still around? He hasn't been bothering you again, has he?"

Ming Yuexin, adept at reading people, could tell that Ye Fei wasn't asking out of politeness but was genuinely concerned. She wasn't sure why he cared so much after only meeting her once, but her heart warmed at the thought.

Putting down the file she had been reading, she pulled Ye Fei over to sit on the sofa next to her, smiling softly. "No, ever since you embarrassed him, he hasn't dared to show his face around here."

Ye Fei suspected that the reason Zhang Yu stopped pestering her had less to do with the embarrassment and more with him realizing who she really was. However, he didn't mention it. Instead, he smiled and said, "Good. That guy's annoying and not smart enough to deserve a sister as great as you."

Ming Yuexin chuckled but didn't answer his comment directly. "You didn't come here just to check on me, did you? What's really on your mind?"

Scratching his head, Ye Fei grinned sheepishly. "I do have something important to talk about. But when I walked in, you seemed a bit troubled. Did something happen?"

At the mention of her troubles, a shadow passed over Ming Yuexin's face, but she quickly regained her composure. "It's nothing serious, just some work-related issues. Let's talk about your matter first."

Though they had only met once before, Ye Fei felt he had a good sense of Ming Yuexin. Guessing that her worries were likely connected to some criminal activity involving powerful figures, he decided not to press her. Instead, he pulled a stack of papers from his jacket and handed them to her. "I came across something that might be useful. Take a look."

Ye Fei's instincts were spot on. Ming Yuexin was indeed troubled by the activities of a large crime syndicate—specifically, the Lingyun Society, which was part of the Ye family's operations.

Recently, she had received intelligence that the society had become more brazen, openly selling drugs at major entertainment venues and engaging in various illegal activities.

However, as much as Ming Yuexin's sense of justice compelled her to act, the power of the Ye family was too great for her to challenge on her own. If Mayor Liu Fengyi, who had a close relationship with the Ye family, fully supported her, it might have been possible to take them down. But so far, Liu Fengyi had not openly opposed Ye Yu, the de facto head of the Ye family.

When Ye Fei handed her the papers, Ming Yuexin didn't think much of it at first, assuming it would be something minor. But as soon as she glanced at the contents, her eyes widened in shock. The more she read, the more astonished she became.

What Ye Fei had given her were crucial documents—evidence of the Lingyun Society's collaboration with international crime syndicates, including contracts with major drug dealers and the notorious "Evil God" organization.

Barely containing her excitement, Ming Yuexin sifted through the papers, her hands trembling slightly. She looked up at Ye Fei, her gaze intense. "Where did you get these?"

Ye Fei had acquired the documents the previous night while secretly investigating the Lingyun Society's operations. With his strength and abilities, no one had noticed him. However, he couldn't reveal this to Ming Yuexin, so he shrugged and smiled. "Don't worry about how I got them. Just tell me if they're useful."

"Useful? These are more than useful!" Ming Yuexin's voice shook with emotion. With this evidence, she now had the ammunition to go after Ye Yu and the Lingyun Society, even without Mayor Liu's explicit backing. At the very least, she could put significant pressure on them and force them to stop their illegal activities.

Seeing how ecstatic she was, Ye Fei grinned. "Good. If it's helpful, then I'll leave it with you. I'll take my leave now."

Knowing Ming Yuexin would likely want to dig deeper into how he had acquired the documents, Ye Fei didn't give her a chance to ask more questions. While she was still processing the weight of the evidence, he quickly made his exit.

"Wait!" Ming Yuexin called out after him, but by the time she regained her composure, Ye Fei was already gone.

Letting out a long sigh, Ming Yuexin sat down, her mind racing. Who exactly was Ye Fei? How had he managed to obtain such critical information?

She recalled the two times she had encountered him—the first time, he had been arrested, and this time, he had unexpectedly delivered the very documents she had been trying to obtain for months. It was as if he had appeared out of nowhere to help her. For a fleeting moment, Ming Yuexin entertained the whimsical thought that Ye Fei had been sent by fate to assist her in her fight for justice.

However, she quickly brushed off the thought as ridiculous. Everything was simply a coincidence. Still, she couldn't deny her growing interest in the mysterious young man. The idea that this slightly mischievous boy might visit her again in the future brought an unexpected smile to her face. This boy really is her lucky charm.

Setting aside her curiosity about Ye Fei, Ming Yuexin immediately got to work. She needed to act fast before Ye Yu had any chance to cover his tracks. With the evidence she now had, she could move decisively.

Ming Yuexin made several phone calls, gathering her subordinates in the branch's conference room. She intended to catch Ye Yu off guard and bring him down before he had time to retaliate. In the South District Police Station, Ming Yuexin had earned a loyal following due to her exceptional abilities and striking appearance.

While the older, more jaded officers aligned themselves with the chief and deputy chiefs who prioritised maintaining the status quo, the younger, more ambitious officers admired Ming Yuexin and were eager to support her bold move against the Lingyun Society.
