Liu Yuxuan was about to leave but Li Mo called her.
âHey, come here for a sec.â
Li Mo had already been cuffed, just like a real drug dealer would be.
As for Ye Xiaolu, she ran away since this didnât concern her. As she didnât join the bustle, the youth and the girl had no clue Li Mo and she were related.
âForgive me for my powerlessness. But trust me, I will definitely bring you justice. â
Liu Yuxuan walked next to Li Mo with reddened eyes from remorse.
âWhat are you saying? You can help me right now. Take the business card from my chest pocket and make the call.
Liu Yuxuan hesitated before listening to him.
The card was blank on the front while only having a plainly written phone number on the back.
âGo ahead and call. Itâll be fine.â
âHey, are you sure youâre alright, or are you just faking? Want me to lend a hand?â Ye Xiaolu shouted.
Li Mo snapped her a glare to shut her up. She ran back into the KFC joint.
Li Mo was by no means playing around. In the end, he had to be within the purview of society when walking in the open. Displaying the shocking power of the universe would only dump needless trouble on his head.
He had no intention to catch the eye of The Savior backing the nation so he chose to most rational way to dissolve this situation.
âNot so tough now are ya? Thereâs a price to pay for messing with Wang Yanyan! â
With Li Mo in cuffs, the girl resumed her normal bossy attitude. She ran to Chief Luo and had a hissy fit, âUncle Luo, this man is the worst. You must never release him!â
âDonât fret, donât you know of me and your dad? We were once comrades and now partners. You are just like my own daughter. Since he had the nerve to mess with you, I wonât spare him!
âI will definitely handle it well. Donât worry.â
âThank you, Uncle Luo.â
The youth walked over, âDad, canât we just kill him? One shot and itâs over.â
Chief Luoâs glare made the youth flinch.
âUncle Luo, your son, Luo Ying is so lame. A simple kick knocked him out cold. Humph, and he lied to me about being awesome.â
âI am awesome, but this, this guyâŠâ
âI donât want to hear it. I am mad at you!â
Wang Yanyan crossed her arms and snorted with her chin out.
âItâs normal for the kids to be angry. Let it go, brother Wang. Let them sort their own problems.â
âHa-ha, alright.â
Li Mo was brought before Chief Luo.
âI donât care who you are but you dare hit my son and was hard on my daughter in law.
âLock him at the station and no food for a month.â
âChief Luo, does that mean you want me to starve to death?â
âPrecisely. In the next life, open your eyes wider.â
Li Mo chuckled.
Chief Luo asked, âYanyan, what do you think of having him starve?â
âGreat.â Wang Yanyan clapped.
âAnd, and he slapped me so many times. I want to pay him back for that.â
âGo ahead and pay him back.â
Wang Yanyan lifted her hand but Li Moâs hard gaze cowered her.
A growing crowd was gathering around the four and Chief Luo whispered something to Wang Dong, who nodded.
âBack to the station!â
The dozens of cops shoved Li Mo in the back of a police cruiser.
Liu Yuxuan was standing on the sidewalk with a phone in hand.
âDad, this time Chief Luo is wrong. I know Li Mo. I told you that if it werenât for him, I wouldâve died at that time. How can someone like him be a drug dealer?â
âThere was no investigation and Chief went straight to accusing him of dealing drugs. They even had him cuffed. What do I do? Is this even justice? Dad, you have to help him. No, not him, but ourselves!â
The phone went silent for a while then echoed out, âIâll give old Luo a call and get a clear explanation.â
âThanks, dad!â Liu Yuxuan perked up.
Five minutes later, the phone rang.
âYou donât need to concern yourself with this anymore.â
âWhy?â
âLi Mo beat old Luoâs son and his daughter in law so miserably that old Luo got so angry he even yelled at me.â
âHow is this police work when itâs settling petty vendetta? Dad, youâre the deputy. You have the power to make this right. What is Luo Zhengyi? A tyrant is what he is. None of what he says sticks. Canât you take it higher up the chain?â
âHow can I do that? You know whoâs backing Luo Zhengyi, an official from the capital. He came to Feng City just to show off, but can we offend him? I can take it higher up the chain, but will it do any good? Not to mention above him there is an entire clan. Doing it will even put my job at stake.
âTry to let this one go. Weâll discuss this over at my place at dinner.â
âIâm not going. I donât have such a father!â
âChildâŠâ
Liu Yuxuan hung up in a fit of rage.
Liu Yuxuan began calling any and all connections she had but no one would help her.
âWhy is it like this? Why?â
Liu Yuxuanâs eyes were reddening.
Choking a sob, she took out Li Moâs business card.
âWill it work?â
Liu Yuxuan hesitated before calling in the end.
Dear Readers. Scrapers have recently been devasting our views. At this rate, the site (creativenovels .com) might...let's just hope it doesn't come to that. If you are reading on a scraper site. Please don't.
Li Mo was thrown in a cramped and dark small room. It was so short that he couldnât even stand properly.
He could neither stand nor sit, making it no different than torture.
Chief Luo and Wang Dong were happily chatting beyond the slit in the door.
Chief Luo snickered, âKid, youâre quite connected, huh? Old Liu, officials, and leader Qun called to plead your case. Ha-haâŠâ
âI would have spared you in any normal case for their sake but you had to go and mess with my son and daughter in law.
âNot even the emperor can save you now. So sit tight and have a taste of starvation!â
âBrother Wang, want to go to Empress Restaurant and have the octennial exquisite duck? Old Chenâs skill is top-notch.â
âLetâs. Iâve long wanted to taste Chen Zhengzhongâs famous octennial exquisite duck.â
They were about to leave when Chief Luoâs phone rang.
The caller id had him stunned.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âItâs a military number. Odd, I donât recognize it.â
âJust ignore it then.â
âI canât. The military doesnât make random calls. Thereâs definitely a reason for calling me. If I donât answer, Iâll only get to suffer later. â
Wang Dong chuckled, âThen answer.â
âGreetings.â Chief Luo answered.
â#*%& your greetings.â A bark came from the other end.
Chief Luo was stunned.
âWho are you, sir? I am Feng Cityâs chief of police, Luo Zhengyi. My brother is Luo Zhengyong, vice-chief of staff in Chuan Province. My father in lawâŠâ
â@% you! I donât give a ratâs ass who you are. If one hair is missing from my nephew, Iâll have you all buried in cement!â
