Chapter 18 - 18 Zhuo Yi Makes a Request
By now, Zhu Xiaoyue had changed into new clothes. He returned the shirt to Li Xiaoyao, apologized, and then said to Dong Haoran, "My matters don’t need your interference, please leave."
Dong Haoran smiled and said, "Xiaoyue, do you know what I like about you the most? What I like most is your personality."
With that, Dong Haoran turned and left the room.
Zhu Xiaoyue watched Dong Haoran coldly and then turned to Li Xiaoyao and Tang Tiantian, "You can go now."
Li Xiaoyao got dressed, and he and Tang Tiantian left the interrogation room. When they were exiting the police station, they happened to run into Dong Haoran.
Dong Haoran didn’t care about Li Xiaoyao at all. Although he had misunderstood Li Xiaoyao earlier, he had no intention of apologizing. In his eyes, everyone who gets brought in is trash, so what was wrong with kicking them a few times?
However, Dong Haoran did take notice of Tang Tiantian beside Li Xiaoyao. After waiting for Zhu Xiaoyue to leave, he also left the police station, approached Tang Tiantian, and said, "Beauty, where do you live? Let me give you a ride. It’s not safe for a woman to be out alone at night."
Tang Tiantian was startled by the sudden advance from Dong Haoran and instinctively hid behind Li Xiaoyao.
Dong Haoran glanced at Li Xiaoyao and said, "Go wherever you’re supposed to go, and stop being a nuisance here."
A strange smile appeared on Li Xiaoyao’s face; he had been planning to find an opportunity to teach this cop a lesson in due time, but now, it seemed he wouldn’t have to wait that long.
Li Xiaoyao said, "Thanks for the offer, Officer, but we live together, so no need to trouble you."
Dong Haoran’s face darkened as his eyes narrowed at Li Xiaoyao, "Kid, can’t you understand what I’m saying?"
Li Xiaoyao ignored him completely and said to Tang Tiantian, "Let’s go."
As Dong Haoran reached out to grab Li Xiaoyao, suddenly, the sound of police dogs barking erupted from the station.
Dong Haoran instinctively looked back, only to see four or five large police dogs crazily bursting out the doors and lunging at him.
Tang Tiantian watched dumbfounded, unable to understand how such a situation could happen out of nowhere.
Dong Haoran was knocked to the ground by the big dogs, screaming incessantly as his clothes were quickly torn to shreds.
"Woof, woof, woof!"
The five big dogs, as if maddened, bit Dong Haoran. Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Let’s leave."
Tang Tiantian uttered an "Oh," came to her senses, and walked away with Li Xiaoyao.
By the time the police within the station rushed out, Dong Haoran had been bitten all over, his body covered in blood.
The officers quickly separated the dogs and took them back, then drove Dong Haoran to the hospital.
Lying on the hospital bed, Dong Haoran had regained consciousness. He asked the officer standing by, weakly, "What’s with those dogs?"
The officer replied with a wry smile, "We were about to take the dogs out for a walk, and I don’t know what happened, but as soon as we untied them, they ran out. By the time we got out, you’d been bitten and knocked unconscious."
Dong Haoran angrily said, "What’s the reason for biting me? No, these dogs must be put down."
The officer shook his head, took out a small plastic bag containing several yellow pills, and said, "This was found on you. These are all drug detection dogs, it must have been this stuff on you that attracted them."
Seeing the pills, Dong Haoran immediately turned pale with fright.
Seeing Dong Haoran’s expression, the officer smiled and said, "I was the one who found these pills, don’t worry, the captain and the others don’t know anything."
Upon hearing this, Dong Haoran let out a sigh of relief and said, "Brother, thanks. When I get out of here, I’ll take you to the bar for a full service."

...
Li Xiaoyao and Tang Tiantian took a taxi home. When they arrived, Li Xiaoyao said, "You should go take a shower and get to bed early. You still have to go to work tomorrow."
Tang Tiantian asked, "Why did Li Yong bring people to beat you up?"
Li Xiaoyao glanced at her, then smiled and replied, "He was the head of the security department. After I arrived, he was laid off, so he held a grudge and took revenge on me."
Upon hearing this, Tang Tiantian looked worried and said, "Doesn’t that mean you’re in great danger? Once he gets out of the police station, he’ll certainly seek revenge again."
Li Xiaoyao replied, "That won’t happen, don’t worry. Besides, even if he really does come after me, I’m not afraid of him."
Tang Tiantian thought about the fate of Li Yong and those thugs today and felt slightly relieved.
Tang Tiantian didn’t continue to ask questions and obediently went to take a shower and then to bed.
The night passed without incident.
The next day, Li Xiaoyao was up early, as usual, and had prepared a delicious and ample breakfast.
Tang Tiantian was gradually getting used to these wonderful mornings where Li Xiaoyao would wake up early to make breakfast and eat with her.
After breakfast, they took a taxi to work as they always did.
On the ride, Tang Tiantian whispered, "Taking a taxi every day is such a waste of money."
Li Xiaoyao thought about it, not because he felt it was a waste of money, but because he found taking taxis to be inconvenient. He said, "How about we buy a car?"
Tang Tiantian thought he meant an electric bike and nodded, "Yadea’s are pretty good. I’ll have a look after we get off work. We can ride an electric bike to work in the future."
Li Xiaoyao looked at Tang Tiantian and thought to himself, I was talking about a car. But on second thought, it seemed he didn’t have the money to buy a car.
Upon reaching the company, Li Xiaoyao received a call from Zhang Meng who said she was taking the day off and would not come to work.
From Zhang Meng’s voice, Li Xiaoyao could tell she had not fully sobered up from last night’s drinking and said, "You should rest well."
Sitting in the office, for the first time, Li Xiaoyao felt it was time to seriously consider his financial situation.
Although he was a cultivator and could engage in cultivation, not requiring the ordinary needs of mortals, here in the secular world, after all, he, Li Xiaoyao, was just an ordinary person.
Now that he had the ability, he naturally wanted his life to be better. At least, he should have his house and car, of course, and not to mention, a woman.
As Li Xiaoyao was contemplating ways to make money, a knock suddenly came at the door.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Come in," he said.
The person knocking was Zhuo Yi, the secretary of Chairman Lan Cai. On a regular basis, she carried out Director Lan’s orders and coordinated between various departments.
Her complexion did not look good, with heavy dark circles, but even so, her delicate features and well-proportioned figure could not be concealed.
Zhuo Yi was entirely different from Zhang Meng. If Zhang Meng was a cute young girl, then Zhuo Yi was an intellectual beauty.
Zhuo Yi was about one seventy meters tall, with impossibly long legs, and exuded a lazy charm.
At that moment, Zhuo Yi stood in front of Li Xiaoyao’s desk, looking somewhat weary and said, "Mr. Li, could you do me a favor?"
