None of the two gave in, and they confronted each other as such.

In terms of martial arts, Su Qingcheng was never Shao Yibai’s opponent.

However, in the confrontation between a man and a woman, there had to be a party that would be the weaker side.

Shao Yibai suddenly caught a glimpse of the faint blood trace tainted on the white bed sheet and recalled that he had just thrown himself on her and that she had injured her back earlier on.

“You should change your clothes.”

Shao Yibai’s gaze suddenly became gentle, and there were traces of desolation in his hoarse voice. “Daisy, I won’t force you. I’ll give you some time. Hopefully, you don’t force me as well…”

Su Qingcheng had never seen Shao Yibai in this manner.

He had always been a tough guy, one who could not be hurt at all, but now it was as if he had died in the war of love.

Su Qingcheng hurriedly got up and fled to the washroom. A quarter of an hour later, when she had changed her clothes and came out, Shao Yibai was spotted sitting at the balcony with a cigarette between his fingers.

The sparks had died down. In between the light and the dark, coolness and desolation were seen on the man’s handsome face.

Seeing that Su Qingcheng had changed, Shao Yibai nodded at her, got up, and walked over to her side. He suddenly held her head with a hand and planted a kiss on her forehead. “Rest well. I’ll bring you two back to Luo Hai tomorrow.”

The sneak attack on her head caused her to feel a burning sensation on her forehead.

Su Qingcheng dared not lift her head to look into the man’s intense gaze.

…

After Mu Chenyan came back from the room next door, Su Qingcheng was seen burying her head into the blanket, and her shoulders were shuddering…

…

The police in City C did not expect that the Major General of the Shao Family from Capital City would encounter danger in City C.

From the bureau chief down to the policemen, everyone felt troubled and uneasy.

Bureau Chief Liu, who was returning Shao Yibai’s call the next day, broke out into a sweat. “Major General…”

“Just call me Shao Yibai. Those military ranks are not suitable for use here.”

Shao Yibai casually remarked. He was not the kind who put on airs. In the army back then, he was also a unique presence.

Trifling with life and mucking about; he would cause the new recruits to grumble a lot, but he could also mingle with them in private.

“Sure, sure, sure, Mr Shao, I’m here on behalf of the Public Security Department to offer my apologies…”

Bureau Chief Liu hated those thugs. City C had never had a major case in over a century, but just when Shao Yibai appeared, such an incident had actually happened!

“There’s no need to apologize.” Shao Yibai spun the lighter in his hand and said in a deep voice, “Interrogate those rogues, and find out who’s the culprit. I want results!”

Bureau Chief Liu replied in agreement, “That’s for sure. Those who dare to provoke the superiors don’t cherish their lives anymore!”

Hanging up the call, Shao Yibai felt that he had gone slightly overboard by hiding Mu Chenyan’s whereabouts from Yuan Xuan. He then dialed Yuan Xuan’s number. “Your woman met with danger in City C.”

…

Mu Chenyan did not expect that just as she was about to leave City C, Yuan Xuan would descend from the heavens that afternoon itself.

Truly, he had descended from the heavens!

The helicopter designated for the oil field flew straight from Luo Hai to City C.

At City C’s small military airport, Mu Chenyan watched the man came down from the helicopter clad in a black windbreaker.

The handsome face was quite anxious. He saw Mu Chenyan feeling terribly ashamed and that she had lowered her head like a child who had done wrong. He had wanted to flare up at first, but he did not have the mood to do so now.

“You’re growing more guts.” Yuan Xuan hugged Mu Chenyan and muttered to her ears, “You actually came here alone and had pretended to go on a business trip to East Bridge!”

Mu Chenyan could hear the anger in the man’s voice. She had wanted to quibble, but after experiencing yesterday night’s shock and seeing him now, she wrapped his arms around his waist, and her voice went soft.

“I’ve really gone to work… but after finishing, I came here… You didn’t ask me where I was, so I’ve didn’t lie to you exactly…”

“Mmm! What Mrs Yuan said makes sense.” Yuan Xuan’s tone was gentle, and there were even traces of mockery in his eyes. “If I don’t ask in the phone, could it be that I won’t even know if Mistress had gone to the moon?”

“The moon has no telecommunication signal…” Mu Chenyan lowered her head and replied quietly.

This damn woman. She still had the mood to quibble even now!

Yuan Xuan knitted his brows together and turned around to ask Shao Yibai. “Who ordered the attack?”

There was a cold and merciless chill in his tone. When this man was enraged, the consequence would be terrible!

“The interrogation is still going on. If you’re not leaving today, you can go and check it out later on.”

Shao Yibai had beaten them up heavily. Those men were half-alive, and they laid in the hospital as they were interrogated by the police.

“You bring them home first. I’ll go and have a look.”

Yuan Xuan made the arrangements and said. He looked at Mu Chenyan and told Yan Jun, “When you return to Luo Hai, Mistress has fallen sick. Apply a medical leave for her.”

“I’m not sick.” Hearing that, Mu Chenyan knew that he was confining her, and she whined as she defended herself.

“Mistress, better don’t speak anymore.” Yan Jun quickly stopped Mu Chenyan and gave her a look. Yuan Xuan’s expression was already extremely unsightly, and it would not do her any good to continue talking.

…

The moment the police station received news that the Yuan Family’s Third Young Master had arrived at City C from Luo Hai, the honorable one had already appeared at the front door with his bodyguards.

Tian Qi followed behind Yuan Xuan, and his face was dark and grim, just like his master.

Bureau Chief Liu jogged all the way. He was already near the age of retirement, and he did not expect that he would have to bear such a transgression at such an age. He had been frightened by Shao Yibai in the morning, and someone from Luo Hai’s Yuan Family had actually come in the afternoon!

The man who was soaked in sweat was all smiles when he saw Yuan Xuan. “Third Young Master Yuan, what has brought you here? You see, back then, I and your father and uncle…”

“Bureau Chief Liu, I’m not here to talk about the former times.”

Yuan Xuan was cultured and elegant. His plain tone had the air of a gentleman.

“The victim of yesterday’s incident was my Mistress.”

When Bureau Chief Liu heard that, it was as if all his strength had left him. He supported himself with the handle of the armchair and said with his low voice, “It’s our mistake, our mistake… We had slipped up in the area of security. I’m already working on the case. The leader is called Brother Sheng, and he’s the mafia boss in City C. I’ve sent men to arrest him.”

Bureau Chief had known from earlier on that this Brother Sheng was not a well-behaved man.

He was finally coming to his end!

Yuan Xuan did not utter a single word. His gaze was intense as he stared at Bureau Chief Liu, who started wiping the sweat off his forehead again.

“Rest assured Third Young Master, this time, I don’t condone his behavior!” Bureau Chief Liu swore, and he could not wait to tear Brother Sheng apart.

“If Bureau Chief Liu had not indulged him from the beginning, perhaps there won’t be today’s matter.”

Yuan Xuan casually remarked, but he was actually criticizing this soon-to-be-retired bureau chief, who had only enjoyed the benefits of his position but did no work at all.

Bureau Chief Liu trembled in fear and repeatedly answered, “Yes, yes.”

Yuan Xuan’s identity was not scary, but the powers behind him were terrifying…

Bureau Chief Liu knew that this young one before him just need to simply give a call when he got back to Luo Hai, and his life of a retiree could be changed into life in prison.

…

Brother Sheng was arrested very soon, and as usual, he did not resist at all but brazenly followed those who had apprehended him to the police station.

However, what was different from the previous times was that he did not know that he would not be able to leave easily this time.

Bureau Chief sent in a few able-bodied police and in less than half an hour, the interrogation yielded a result.

“How come it’s Xia Tao?”

Hearing the policemen reported that Xia Tao was the one who had hired them to kill, Bureau Chief Liu patted his forehead and thought to himself what a disaster this was.

Xia Tao was his colleague. He was a righteous man and had served in the force for many years. The only tarnish on his reputation was probably that case with the woman whose surname was Zhao a few years back…

Bureau Chief Liu said to his secretary, “Quickly inform Old Xia to get away and lie low till the dust has settled.”

As they were colleagues for many years, Bureau Chief Liu could not bear to see anything bad happen to Xia Tao. The only thing he could do was to help him escape.

At this time, a policeman named Xiao Wang came running in him with a pale face and said incoherently, “Bureau… Bureau Chief Liu… Bureau Chief Xia has… He has committed suicide…”
