Chapter 42 - 42 Director Lan is Occupied with Important Matters

...............

Zhu Xiaoyue bent over to pick up a small medicine bottle, which contained yellow, round pills. Upon seeing these pills, Zhu Xiaoyue’s large eyes immediately narrowed into a dangerous curve.

Without a change in expression, Zhu Xiaoyue pocketed the small medicine bottle, took a deep look at Dong Haoran being carried out, and then turned to approach Li Xiaoyao and the other two.

Zhu Xiaoyue thought her movements had been inconspicuous, but unbeknownst to her, they had been clearly witnessed by Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao recognized at a glance that the yellow pills in the bottle were a type of addictive drug.

He hadn’t expected this guy to be a junkie.

"Let’s talk about what happened today," said Zhu Xiaoyue as she sat down, addressing the three of them.

Zhang Meng and Zhuo Yi had been frightened out of their wits today, and their thoughts were still somewhat chaotic. They told their version of the events intermittently but in full.

After listening, Zhu Xiaoyue’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her beautiful eyes were filled with anger.

"This beast!" Zhu Xiaoyue cursed angrily. Naturally, the beast she referred to was Long Zaitian.

Having understood the whole story, Zhu Xiaoyue’s perception of Li Xiaoyao underwent a direct change. She felt that Li Xiaoyao’s kick was extremely satisfying. Such scum deserved to have his manhood crushed, so he could never harm other girls again.

However, as gratifying as it was, Long Zaitian’s father, Long Feiyang, wielded no small amount of power in Ling City. By crippling Long Zaitian in a moment of satisfaction, Long Feiyang would definitely not let Li Xiaoyao go.

Zhu Xiaoyue could almost predict Li Xiaoyao’s fate from then on.

"Officer Zhu, may we leave now?" asked Li Xiaoyao.

Zhu Xiaoyue looked at Li Xiaoyao with rare seriousness and said, "Do you realize who Long Zaitian, the man you offended today, is?"

Li Xiaoyao replied indifferently, "I have no interest in understanding a beast."

On any other day, Zhu Xiaoyue would have been infuriated by Li Xiaoyao’s attitude, but not now. She admired Li Xiaoyao’s righteousness and wanted to help him as much as she could.

"Long Zaitian’s father is Long Feiyang, the chairman of Ling City’s Feiyang Real Estate Company!" Zhu Xiaoyue explained patiently. "Long Feiyang has only one son, Long Zaitian. Your actions today have essentially condemned the Long Family to end their lineage. I can tell you with certainty that Long Feiyang will not let you off the hook. The moment you step out that door, you will face his retribution!"

Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Thank you for the warning, Officer Zhu. May we leave now?"

Exasperated by Li Xiaoyao’s nonchalant attitude, Zhu Xiaoyue slammed the table and said forcefully, "Li Xiaoyao, do you have any idea how serious this is?"

Li Xiaoyao looked at Zhu Xiaoyue, surprised, but he felt touched. Although this busty female cop had a bit of a temper, she was kind-hearted.

Li Xiaoyao said, "You’ve said it yourself, Long Feiyang holds sway over Ling City. Even if I were worried, what good would it do? Since it hasn’t happened yet, worrying about it prematurely is less useful than going home to sleep in."

Zhu Xiaoyue sighed and stopped trying to persuade Li Xiaoyao. She realized that Li Xiaoyao was not at all concerned about these things. If he wasn’t worried, why should she bother?

"Let’s go," said Zhu Xiaoyue as she stood up.

"Wait a moment," Li Xiaoyao suddenly said.

Zhu Xiaoyue looked at him puzzledly. Li Xiaoyao spoke to Zhuo Yi, "Call Director Lan and tell her what happened today."

Following Li Xiaoyao’s instruction, Zhuo Yi called Lan Cai.

Lan Cai was currently in the hotel’s presidential suite with Lin Yuanyuan, chatting about the things that had happened today.

The two of them were lying comfortably on the bed, music playing, their red lips humming a pleasant tune when the mobile phone on the bedside suddenly rang, giving both of them a start.

Lin Yuanyuan complained, "Cai’er, why are you so busy?"

Lan Cai picked up the mobile phone, a somewhat helpless wry smile on her face, "The company has a lot of things going on, many of which I need to handle personally."

"I know, you’re a busy person."

Lan Cai rolled her eyes at her in a teasing manner and answered the call, "Hello, Zhuo Yi, what’s up?"

Zhuo Yi, because her thoughts were a bit jumbled, spoke in a somewhat confused manner until Li Xiaoyao couldn’t bear it anymore and said, "Give me the phone."

Li Xiaoyao took the phone, "Director Lan, it’s me, Li Xiaoyao."

Lan Cai was holding the phone to her ear with her left hand, about to change position and lean back on the bed.

"Mm~"

Li Xiaoyao, hearing that slightly enervating sound from the phone, also paused for a moment.

What the hell was going on? Why was it this sound?

Li Xiaoyao turned his head to look at Zhuo Yi, then at the name displayed on the phone screen, which was indeed Director Lan’s, confirming he had not called the wrong number.

But why on earth would Director Lan be making that kind of sound?

That’s not right, it’s only the afternoon, Director Lan should still be at her best friend’s birthday celebration.

"Cough cough, Director Lan, am I disturbing you?" Li Xiaoyao asked considerately.

After Lan Cai made that sound, she immediately realized it and her cheeks blushed furiously.

She glared at Lin Yuanyuan with a look of annoyed reproach, but Lin Yuanyuan showed no sign of guilt and made a funny face at her with a playful grin.

"Cough cough, Director Lan, you go ahead with your business, I’ll call you back later." Li Xiaoyao felt it wasn’t quite appropriate to intrude at such a time.

But just as Li Xiaoyao was about to hang up, Lan Cai suddenly said, "I’m not busy, go ahead."

Li Xiaoyao even asked one more question, "Are you sure you’re alright?"

Biting her lip, Lan Cai knew that the strange sound she had just made must have induced some unsavory thoughts in Li Xiaoyao.

"Go ahead, what is it?" Lan Cai deliberately made her voice sound a bit colder.

Li Xiaoyao then recounted to Lan Cai the events that had taken place at the hotel that day, and after finishing, he said, "Director Lan, Zhuo Yi and Zhang Meng were harmed because of the company and have also offended Long Feiyang. I’m worried that they might be subjected to Long Feiyang’s retaliatory actions in the next couple of days. If possible, I hope you could send someone to protect them."

Indeed, the reason Li Xiaoyao told Zhuo Yi to make this call was to seek Lan Cai’s help.

He may not fear Long Feiyang’s retaliation, but Zhang Meng and the other lady certainly couldn’t handle it.

If Lan Cai were to step in, then even if Long Feiyang wanted to make a move on the two women, he would have to consider whether it was worth the trouble.
