Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!-Chapter 545 Don’t Bother Saving Me
Bai Kunyu was indeed dissatisfied with Shen Pingkang.
After all, he had expended a great deal of effort and resources to pull strings for someone's release yesterday.
Shen Pingkang's case was significant, and it required the mobilization of numerous people from top to bottom to get someone out.
He had just managed to get the person out when they were arrested again.
Making another call to free someone would come at an even greater cost.
But he had no choice; he had to get Shen Pingkang out.
Shen Pingkang was the one dealing with everything related to Xu Yang, and changing personnel now would mean a considerable amount of time lost in the transition.
Now was a crucial moment in the battle against Xu Yang; there was no time to waste.
So, he was about to make calls to his network of contacts.
Before he could dial out, his cell phone rang.
Upon seeing the caller ID, it was Xu Yang, his expression darkened as he answered, "What do you want by calling me? Do you feel great about getting Shen Pingkang thrown in jail and now you've come to gloat?"
Xu Yang chuckled: "I wouldn't be so bored. I just wanted to talk to you."
Bai Kunyu frowned: "What do we have to talk about?"
Xu Yang said, "Putting Shen Pingkang behind bars serves to show you that if you managed to snatch my company, it was because I let you. Otherwise, you would have gotten nothing."
Bai Kunyu laughed disdainfully, "Mr. Xu, my success in taking your company is my own skill—it has nothing to do with you. Don't flatter yourself!"
Xu Yang responded, "It seems you don't believe me, but I still want to tell you that if you return the company to me and pay me ten billion in compensation, we can let bygones be bygones. If you refuse, then don't blame me for being ruthless thereafter."
Bai Kunyu sneered, "Mr. Xu, asking me to return the company and pay you ten billion, you're not qualified for that. If you stop your actions and pay me ten billion, then perhaps I could let you off. Otherwise, once I get Shen Pingkang out, I will make sure your family is ruined!"
Xu Yang said, "I've given you the opportunity, and you don't cherish it. There's nothing I can do about that. I hope you won't regret it later."
With that, Xu Yang hung up the phone.
Bai Kunyu contemptuously curled his lips, "I never regret my actions. The one who will regret is you!"
After that, he made the call to his network.
After a busy morning, he finally resolved the matter.
...
In Jiangcheng, at the Patrol Bureau.
A policeman unlocked Shen Pingkang's handcuffs: "Alright, you can go now."
Shen Pingkang didn't say a word; he turned and ran.
He had decided to dash out as fast as possible, get in the car, and leave.
Otherwise, if he got arrested again, that would be truly miserable.
However, what he feared most happened at the very moment he rushed out of the door. A loud shout echoed from behind: "Shen Pingkang! Stop! Or we'll shoot!"
Shen Pingkang was nearly scared to piss himself, tripping and tumbling to the ground.
Immediately after, two policemen rushed over, pinned him down, and handcuffed him again.
Shen Pingkang was close to tears.
For the love of god, would this ever end?! Why were they arresting him again?!
"Why are you arresting me again?!" Shen Pingkang struggled and shouted.
"Here, this is a new arrest warrant we just received. You are suspected of bribery and framing, and we're not wrong to arrest you!"
The police showed Shen Pingkang the arrest warrant.
Seeing it, Shen Pingkang cursed inwardly.
Damn it, Lan Penghua had actually filed a formal complaint against him.
He indeed had bribed Lan Penghua to frame Xu Yang's father-in-law, Zhao Hai.
Just now at the station, he was wondering if Lan Penghua would turn against them like Gu Feichi did.
If that were the case, it wasn't unlikely that he would be arrested for the third time.
That was also the reason why he tried to run out of the patrol bureau so quickly, but he still couldn't escape.
The police officer put away the arrest warrant and smiled again, "Do you need to make a phone call?"
The police already had experience with this; both times they arrested Shen Pingkang, he had asked to make a phone call.
This time they simply inquired directly, to avoid the hassle later on in the interrogation room, when he might ask to make a phone call and they would have to take him from the interrogation room to the phone room.
Shen Pingkang quickly replied, "Of course I need to."
The police officer didn't say anything more and took him to the room with the phone.
Sitting in front of the phone, Shen Pingkang didn't dial immediately but fell into deep thought.
Telling Bai Kunyu that he had been arrested again would surely make Bai Kunyu explode with anger on the spot.
If he didn't call, it would affect Bai Kunyu's plans, and his own situation would be even worse.
After pondering for a long time, he picked up the receiver and dialed Bai Kunyu's number.
Soon, the call connected.
Shen Pingkang immediately said, "Young Master Bai..."
He only managed to utter two words before Bai Kunyu interrupted, "Why are you contacting me with this phone again?"
Bai Kunyu was already familiar with this number since both times he was arrested, it was this phone that was used to call him.
Seeing this phone number meant no good news.
Hearing Bai Kunyu's extremely unfriendly tone, Shen Pingkang hastily said, "Young Master Bai, I've been arrested again. You don't need to rescue me, it's not worth it anymore. Find someone to come and take over from me."
He didn't dare to let Bai Kunyu save him.
Because he knew, with each time he was rescued, the difficulty and the price paid were exponentially higher.
The first two times, Bai Kunyu had probably already paid a great price.
This time, if Bai Kunyu were to use his connections to save him again, the cost would be even greater.
And whether Bai Kunyu was willing to help him out was still an unknown.
So he still thought it better to voluntarily give up the chance to be rescued, as there might still be a chance Bai Kunyu would consider his understanding of when to advance or retreat.
Perhaps in the future, if Bai Kunyu encountered some issue and found him conveniently useful, he might take the initiative to rescue him again.
Hearing Shen Pingkang's words, Bai Kunyu nodded in satisfaction.
Indeed, Shen Pingkang being arrested three times had brought his dissatisfaction to a peak.
When he heard Shen Pingkang had been arrested again, he had already decided not to rescue Shen Pingkang for the time being.
Shen Pingkang offering it himself pleased him, making him feel that Shen Pingkang was quite a good subordinate.

Such a subordinate who understood the right times to advance and retreat was truly commendable.
Shen Pingkang did have capabilities and had handled affairs for him neatly over the years.
It was just this one time going to Jiangcheng to contend with Xu Yang that problems arose.
Such a person was still worth saving, just not right now.
Wait for a while, and then find an opportunity to rescue him.
With that thought, Bai Kunyu said, "Okay, I will send Chen Wenbin over immediately."
Hearing the name Chen Wenbin, Shen Pingkang's expression soured.
Chen Wenbin, like him, was one of Bai Kunyu's assistants, except Shen Pingkang was the first assistant and Chen Wenbin the second.
In reality, Chen Wenbin's abilities were even stronger than Shen Pingkang's.

But because he joined Bai Kunyu's team a few months later than Shen Pingkang, he had to settle for the position of the second assistant.
