"Hey?" Li Yang was taken aback. "No, Team Leader Murong, shouldn't you be the one to search me personally? It should be king to king, soldier to soldier, after all."
"You wish!" Murong Xue glared at him.
The security team member, called Big Liu, who was quite burly, stared at Li Yang and said in a cold voice, "Mr. Li, I advise you not to be glib. Our team leader is known as the cold-faced female Yama. Be careful, or you might regret it."
"I don't know if I'll regret it, but you should look at your team leader's expression. I'm sure you'll regret speaking like that," Li Yang said, gesturing with his mouth.
Big Liu turned his head and saw Murong Xue glaring at him coldly. He was startled and hurriedly said, "No, I didn't say that. Everyone says that in private."
"Oh dear, your explanation is worse than no explanation at all," Li Yang said, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
Murong Xue said angrily, "Big Liu, go search the others. I'll search this guy myself!"
"Team Leader, I..."
"Go!"
Murong Xue snorted and walked towards Li Yang. "You really want me to search you, don't you?"
"Yes, because I can see you're not someone who bends the law for personal gain. If you search me, I don't have to worry about being framed with minor actions," Li Yang said with a smile.
Murong Xue chuckled, "It's no use saying nice things now."
With that, she reached out to search him.
"Ouch, Team Leader Murong, your hands are so ticklish. Don't touch there, ouch, you touched my..."
"Shut up!"
Murong Xue said angrily, grabbing Li Yang's collar.
She had only just started searching, and he was spouting nonsense about her touching him.
"If you keep spouting nonsense, don't blame me for being impolite."
"I'm just nervous."
"Hmph!" Murong Xue continued the search.
Seeing her flustered, Li Yang smiled and stopped joking, letting her search him.
This time, he hadn't done anything, but Murong Xue's hand suddenly slipped, accidentally touching a place it shouldn't have.
"Ah?" Li Yang looked at her, stunned.
A blush immediately appeared on Murong Xue's cold face. She quickly withdrew her hand and gritted her teeth, "Why did you move!"
"Heaven knows, I didn't move at all just now. You touched me yourself," Li Yang said with an innocent expression.
"You!"
Murong Xue was almost infuriated. How could her hand have slipped like that!
The people around them, seeing this, almost burst into laughter. This Boss Li was truly audacious, daring to flirt with the security team leader in public. Wasn't he afraid of going to jail?
Shui Xiang, with a faint smile on her lips, stared at Li Yang and said in a low voice, "This Li Yang is really something."
"Team Leader Murong, do you still want to continue the search?" Li Yang asked with a smile.
Murong Xue snorted, "No need."
Then she turned to look at the other team members and, finding them all staring at her, her mood soured immediately. "What are you looking at me for?"
"Searching and inspecting!"
"Ah, ah, yes, yes!" The security team members quickly came back to their senses and continued their search and inspection of the scene.
After about half an hour of searching, they found nothing. Big Liu whispered, "Team Leader, there's nothing abnormal. Was the report wrong?"
"Impossible. The informant is a retired former member of our security team. He wouldn't joke about something like this," Murong Xue said with a frown.
Big Liu said, "But there really isn't anything."
"Search again."
"Alright, fine..."
They searched again, but still found nothing abnormal. Murong Xue was helpless.
Li Yang smiled and said, "Team Leader Murong, where else do you need to search? We will cooperate fully."
"Boss Li, don't get cocky too soon. If you stand by the river often, you're bound to get your shoes wet. If you do bad things for too long, we'll eventually catch you," Murong Xue said through clenched teeth.
Li Yang said, "It's a frame-up. We've always done legitimate business, how could we do bad things?"
"It's best if there isn't," Murong Xue waved her arm and shouted, "Pack up, let's go."
"Hey, wait. We've been searching for a long time and it's delayed our work. It's not appropriate to just leave like this, is it?" Li Yang called out.
Murong Xue said in a deep voice, "What do you want?"
"At the very least, you should treat me to a meal, right?" Li Yang said with a smile.
Murong Xue clenched her fist, almost punching him directly. "Say that again!"
"I can say it three more times. You should at least treat me to a meal to apologize. Isn't that basic courtesy?" Li Yang said with a smile.
"Otherwise, I'll go to the security team and bother you every day."
"You, shameless!"
Murong Xue said angrily, "Fine, I'll treat you to a meal, tomorrow at noon."
"That's more like it, Team Leader Murong. Here's my contact number, remember it. Also, give me your contact number. Otherwise, if you don't keep your word tomorrow, I'll have to go to the security team to find you, which is very troublesome," Li Yang said with a smile, taking out his phone.
Murong Xue was very reluctant to give him her contact information, but thinking about the bad impression this search might cause, she could only give him her number. "I won't forget."
"That would be for the best. I'll wait for your call," Li Yang said with a smile, putting away his phone.
Murong Xue said nothing, turned around, and got into the police car.
The security team members immediately started their vehicles and drove away.
Watching the police car gradually disappear from sight, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Shui Xiang said, "You're really amazing, actually forcing the security team leader to the point of inviting you to a meal."
"You've misunderstood me. I just wanted her contact information," Li Yang smiled and turned to Manager Fang. "Manager Fang, please ask Master Zhang and the others to come out."
"Boss Li, the stones haven't been moved yet," Manager Fang said.
Li Yang said, "It's okay, let them come out."
"Alright, Boss Li."
Manager Fang nodded and immediately went to invite Master Zhang and the others out.
Seeing that the stones had not yet been moved, Master Zhang, who had been having a good time, looked surprised. "It's been two hours, and they're still not finished moving them?"
"Boss Li, what do you need us for again?"
"Master Zhang, do you really not know anything?" Li Yang asked, not answering directly.
Master Zhang looked confused. "Know what? Boss Li, can you please speak clearly."
"It seems you really don't know. Why don't you ask your nephew?" Li Yang said.
Master Zhang was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at his nephew. "Nephew, what did you do?"
"N-nothing much, Boss Li, do you have some misunderstanding about me?" The nephew's face changed, and he said with some panic.
Li Yang said, "You won't admit it? Fine then, Manager Fang, have someone bring out all those stones that were hidden before, and let him take a good look."
