Chapter 17 - 17 Li Yong Turns Over a New Leaf
Li Xiaoyao said, "Li Yong brought over a dozen hoodlums to give me trouble, each of them wielding knives. They were originally supposed to chop me, but somehow they ended up fighting each other."
Zhu Xiaoyue frowned and glared, "Mind your attitude, do you think I’m an idiot? Why would they start chopping each other out of the blue?"
Li Xiaoyao spread his hands, "So, you think I single-handedly took them all down? Do you think I’m capable of that?"
Zhu Xiaoyue had seen individuals capable of fighting off a dozen people, but she did not believe that someone like Li Xiaoyao had the ability to fight ten, especially when the others were armed with machetes.
Zhu Xiaoyue looked towards Tang Tiantian and asked, "Tell me what you know."
Tang Tiantian glanced at Li Xiaoyao and said, "I was upstairs eating when I saw those bad guys get out of the car with knives and run over here quickly. But for some reason, when they reached halfway, they suddenly started slashing at each other."
Zhu Xiaoyue’s chest heaved, her breathing slightly labored, her face changing between shades of dark and light.
"Smack!" Enraged, Zhu Xiaoyue slammed her hand onto the table and shouted at the two, "Do you take me for a fool?"
Zhu Xiaoyue called out to the door, "Bring Li Yong in!"
Li Yong, bruised and swollen, was pushed in by a policeman, sitting next to the table.
Li Yong gave Li Xiaoyao a vicious glance. Li Xiaoyao smiled back at him, a flash of purple glinting in his eyes, and upon seeing this, Li Yong’s gaze momentarily stalled.
Zhu Xiaoyue asked, "Narrate what happened tonight."
Li Yong’s expression was dull as he mechanically said, "Tonight, I invited my brothers from the streets to drink and eat, planning to ask them to give Li Xiaoyao a good lesson. But when we got there, my brothers went crazy and started slashing each other."
Zhu Xiaoyue stared at Li Yong, dumbfounded, not understanding why he would say such a thing. Didn’t he know that saying this would be detrimental to him?
Equally astonished was Tang Tiantian; she saw Li Yong come in and knew that the lie she had just told was about to be exposed, but why would Li Yong tell the same lie?
Li Xiaoyao sat to one side, smiling breezily. What a joke—Li Xiaoyao was now half a cultivator, and to control the thoughts of an ordinary person with his mind was mere child’s play for him.
Zhu Xiaoyue smacked the table and glared at Li Yong, "Do you realize what you’re saying? This is a police station, everything you say will be recorded!"
Li Xiaoyao added, "Officer, what do you mean by that? Don’t you allow a bad guy to repent and speak the truth?"
Zhu Xiaoyue glared at Li Xiaoyao, "Shut up, did I ask you to speak?"
Li Xiaoyao spread his hands, "Fine, I’ll be quiet."
Li Xiaoyao hummed softly in his heart and started to make mischief. He issued an order to Li Yong, and the next moment, Li Yong suddenly stood up from his seat.
Zhu Xiaoyue asked, "Li Yong, who told you to stand up? Sit down!"
Li Yong completely ignored her and lunged at Zhu Xiaoyue. Caught off guard, Zhu Xiaoyue was tackled to the ground along with her chair by Li Yong.
Hearing the commotion, police officers outside tried to push the door open, but for some reason, the iron door was locked from the inside and wouldn’t budge.
Zhu Xiaoyue struggled on the ground, but Li Yong lay on top of her like a bear.
Tang Tiantian watched the scene in shock, not understanding why Li Yong would suddenly do something like this.
Li Xiaoyao, deciding he had taught the lesson well enough, rose from the chair, reached out to grab Li Yong’s hair, and with a yank backward, pulled Li Yong away.
Zhu Xiaoyue’s police uniform had several buttons ripped open by Li Yong, making her look disheveled.
Li Xiaoyao kicked Li Yong, knocking him to the ground, preventing him from getting up, then turned and walked over to Zhu Xiaoyue and started taking off his clothes.
Zhu Xiaoyue, seeing Li Xiaoyao’s actions, was startled, covered her chest with both hands, and yelled loudly, "What are you trying to do?"
Li Xiaoyao sneered, threw the shirt he had taken off to her, and said, "Put this on, or else you might have an accidental exposure."
Zhu Xiaoyue, looking at the shirt Li Xiaoyao tossed to her, spaced out for a moment, suddenly feeling that the man might not be as despicable as she had imagined.
Zhu Xiaoyue stood up, turned her back to wear Li Xiaoyao’s shirt, then turned around and said, "Thank you."
Li Xiaoyao waved his hand dismissively and asked, "Well, since Li Yong has confessed everything, can you let us go now?"
Zhu Xiaoyue nodded, "Wait a moment, I’ll go out and talk to the captain."
As Zhu Xiaoyue turned to leave, she kicked the unconscious Li Yong on the ground to vent her anger.
The police outside had been knocking on the door continuously, Zhu Xiaoyue opened the door, and the male police officer, seeing the white shirt on Zhu Xiaoyue, paused for a moment, and asked, "Xiaoyue, are you okay?"
Zhu Xiaoyue resumed her icy policewoman demeanor, shook her head emotionlessly, "I’m fine."
The male police officer stared at the departing figure of Zhu Xiaoyue, and the police uniform that was clearly torn under the white shirt, as well as the shouts that had just come from the room, causing his eyebrows to instantly furrow.
The male police officer entered the interrogation room and immediately noticed the shirtless Li Xiaoyao, while the unconscious Li Yong lying on the floor was automatically ignored.
Fire flashed in the male police officer’s eyes, suspecting that this man must have done something to Zhu Xiaoyue just now.
The male police officer pulled out his baton from his waist and strode forward, commanding coldly, "Stand up!"
Li Xiaoyao looked at him and asked, "Officer, is there a problem?"
The male police officer’s voice suddenly rose several decibels, and he yelled, "I fucking told you to stand up, are you deaf or just can’t hear?"
Li Xiaoyao glanced at the male police officer and slowly stood up from the chair.
A vicious look flashed in the male police officer’s eyes as he grabbed the baton and swung it down toward Li Xiaoyao’s head.
Li Xiaoyao reached out and grabbed the baton, staring coldly at the male police officer.
The male police officer, seeing Li Xiaoyao daring to resist, became furious, "Fuck, you dare to block?"
Cursing, the male police officer lifted his foot and kicked toward Li Xiaoyao.
Li Xiaoyao didn’t dodge this time, letting the male police officer kick him, but instead of knocking Li Xiaoyao down, the kick caused the officer to lose his balance and stumble several steps backward.
"Motherfucker," the male police officer cursed, and quickly stepped forward intending to continue his lesson on Li Xiaoyao.
Zhu Xiaoyue suddenly came back, witnessed the scene, and shouted angrily, "Dong Haoran, what are you doing?"
