”Lu Chen, Lu Chen! Are you alright…”
A fragrant scent entered my nose when He Yi hugged my head and looked over my entire body to make sure I hadn't lost any body parts.
A long time later, she wiped away the bloodstains on my face and stared at me with red, teary eyes. ”You… you scared me to death, you know that? What on earth happened?”
Xu Yang interrupted, ”Boss, I'm hurt too you know…”
He Yi faced toward him and replied, ”If you're hurt you should look for a doctor, not me! If anything, you look way too healthy!”
Xu Yang: ”%%#%@...”
……
He Yi then s.h.i.+fted her gaze to Xue Lu and stared at her for a moment before asking, ”Are you Xue Lu?”
Xue Lu was just a child before the GGS Asia Region Vice President. Not only was she inferior to He Yi in terms of cla.s.s and presence, she herself looked completely dumbstruck by He Yi's beauty. Mouth agape, the only response she could muster was a nod and a ”mn”.
He Yi's eyes flashed with annoyance as she muttered to herself, ”Hmph, so you're the one who caused Lu Chen to get hurt…”
By now, Murong Mingyue and Beiming Xue had caught up to us. Murong Mingyue didn't look too worried, but Beiming Xue was hugging me tightly and crying loudly, ”Big bro, you scared me to death…”
A smile broke across my face as I gave Beiming Xue's back a rub. ”I'm fine now, aren't I? Don't cry, Beiming. It's safe now.”
Beiming Xue looked up from my chest and wiped her tears, nodding. ”Mn.”
He Yi shot us a glance before starting quietly. ”This case is almost certainly going to be cla.s.sified as aggravated a.s.sault. The good news is that GGS has pretty good connections in Suzhou, and I'll pay all the necessary 'gifts' to resolve this as best I can. The bad news is Life of Luxury apparently has friends in district public security sub-bureaus and even provincial public security bureaus, so it's not going to be easy. You may need to stay here for a couple of days before I can get you out.”
I nodded. It was a simple matter. He Yi's area of expertise was business, and our enemy's, politics. Naturally, it was going to take a lot of money, connections and resources to plot for a happy resolution.
”Boss, sorry we've given you so much trouble…” I apologized.
He Yi shot me a glance before smiling a little. ”It's fine as long as you're all safe, and I knew from the start that you're going to cause me a lot of trouble the moment you rejoined the gang…”
Everyone laughed until a policeman outside the police station shouted, ”Keep your voices down!”
……
It was late. He Yi went back with Mingyue and Beiming Xue, while the rest of us were put under criminal detention.
On the opposite side of our detention room, Life of Luxury's lackey hooted, ”Just you wait, you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! Brother Luxury's father will make you wish you were dead!”
Xu Yang jabbed a finger at the guy and growled, ”You're the ones who should back down while you still can, eunuch's lackey!”
When Gui Guzi heard that, he laughed so hard he was almost in tears. ”Hahahaha! That's right, your 'big bro' is now just an eunuch, courtesy of our Boss Broken Halberd!”
……
The verbal PvP continued for a while until around 10 pm or so. We fell asleep when our endurance had reached zero.
It was late in the night when a policeman suddenly entered the detention room and said, ”Lu Chen, you're needed at the interrogation room!”
”Oh?”
I opened my eyes. What's going on? Why do I have to go to the interrogation room in the middle of the night? Are they going to torture a confession out of me? But I've already confessed to everything! Please don't hurt me...
When we reached the interrogation room, the policeman opened the door and waved me in. ”Get in!”
”??”
”Just get inside!”
”...”
I stepped into the interrogation room and found a young policeman standing by the table. He immediately smiled and walked up to me when he saw me. ”h.e.l.lo, Lu Chen!”
”You are?”
I shot his badge a look and quickly discovered that it was different from the badges worn by the policemen in this police station. Puzzlement immediately overtook my mind: Who is this guy?
The policeman introduced himself. ”My name is Li Chengfeng. You probably don't know me, but I've known you for a very long time, Little Heavenly King.”
I was caught off-guard, but I quickly smiled back. ”You play games made by Eternal Moon Corporation too?”
”Yeah, I'm a hardcore player in fact…”
Li Chengfeng smiled. ”I started during the endgame of Eternal Moon, played through the entire Spirit of Grief, and now the early stages of Heavenblessed. I'm as hardcore as you can find.”
”What's your ID in Eternal Moon and Spirit of Grief?”
”That's not important.” Li Chengfeng smiled. ”Let's talk about your case of aggravated a.s.sault for a moment. Currently, preliminary diagnosis revealed that Life of Luxury had suffered serious injuries to his groin. Although his life is in no danger, it's very likely that he has lost his reproduction ability. Even if the case was cla.s.sified as legitimate defense, this particular attack is definitely too much. Do you understand what I'm saying?”
I sucked in a deep breath and nodded. ”I will bear all the responsibilities of my actions!”
”Very good!” Li Chengfeng's eyes glimmered with praise. ”Now I can truly believe that you're that loyal and heroic Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand whose words are worth their weight in gold. No lesser man is deserving of that ID!!”
Suddenly, he changed his tune again and let out a chuckle. ”To tell you the truth, I can pardon you from your excessive self-defense.”
”Oh?”
I was surprised, but I quickly laughed. ”C'mon, man. Life of Luxury has friends in the district public security sub-bureaus and provincial public security bureaus. He could easily lock me up for a couple of years.”
Li Chengfeng broke into laughter. ”Look at me, brother. Do I look like a member of a district public security sub-bureau or provincial public security bureau to you? I'm working for the Ministry of Public Security! I'm only staying at Jiangsu for a couple days because I have some business to take care of. Now, do you still doubt my ability to resolve this? If you're still worried, I can tell you now that Life of Luxury's 'friend', his second uncle, is just a section-level employee at a provincial public security bureau. Seriously, this is nothing to me…”
I stared at his determined eyes before replying, ”You're not helping me for free, are you? Surely you want something from me?”
