25: Chapter 25 All for Learning!
In the police station, Li Chen was lounging in his chair, snoozing as if nothing was wrong.
Beside him, Tang Xiaoxiao was grinding her teeth in anger.
“That despicable guy, he can still sleep?
Wait till your parents come, let’s see how you explain to them?”
Li Chen looked up at her and said with a cold smile, “I, Li Chen, never explain myself to anyone!”
Tang Xiaoxiao was speechless, hugging her arms and squeezing out a cold smile through her teeth.
“Hehe, hehe…”
Li Chen pointed to a chair next to him and said, “Officer, don’t just stand there, take a seat!”
Tang Xiaoxiao, also tired of standing, carelessly pulled the chair and was about to sit.
However, before her butt even touched the chair, as if she was electrocuted, she sprang up instantly.
She gently rubbed her butt and glared angrily, saying, “Li Chen, you bastard, how dare you trick me!”
Li Chen glanced at the peaks below Tang Xiaoxiao’s snowy white neck and shook his head, saying, “Alas, big breasts and no brains, ancient people truly didn’t deceive me!”
Tang Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and angrily asked, “Who are you calling big breasts and no brains?”
Li Chen looked around and said, “It’s just the two of us here, who else could I be talking about?”
Tang Xiaoxiao, furious and embarrassed, lifted her leg to kick Li Chen.
“Officer, if you feel your butt is itchy again, feel free to kick me, I promise I won’t fight back!”
Hearing Li Chen’s barefaced threat, Tang Xiaoxiao clenched her teeth and humphed indignantly, then put her foot down.
Just then, a noisy sound came from outside.
Tang Xiaoxiao felt something was off and stood up to check.
She saw a tall young woman striding towards them.
Beside her, there was a sharp-eyed young man, evidently from the military.
Her immediate superior, Director Zhao, was acting submissive like a grandson, nodding and bowing in accompaniment.
Seeing Tang Xiaoxiao, Director Zhao quickly gave her a look and said, “Little Tang, quickly bring, oh no, invite Li Chen out!”
“No need for that!” Li Chen yawned lazily.
Moo Xi blinked curiously at Li Chen, “What trouble have you caused?”
Li Chen glanced at Tang Xiaoxiao with the corner of his eye and said, “They say I went to the whorehouse!”
What?
Whorehouse?
You went to the whorehouse?
Moo Xi was shocked, her face in disbelief.
She never imagined that a Martial Arts prodigy like Li Chen would visit a whorehouse, and worse, a lowly hair salon.
It was simply unfathomable.
Director Zhao, clueless, saw that the situation was awkward and quickly tried to smooth things over.
“Li Chen might have gone to the brothel to find a girl due to overwhelming academic stress.
No one is a saint; it’s normal to make mistakes.
Knowing your faults and correcting them is the greatest virtue!”
Li Chen touched his forehead with one hand, his face filled with embarrassment.
To study well by going to a whorehouse, such a deeply touching reason, even Li Chen himself was speechless.
Just with this, no wonder Director Zhao got the position, you can’t deny his capability!
Moo Xi, seeing Li Chen not defending himself and mistaking it as an admission, lost all the good feelings she just started to have for him.
Seeing this, how could Grandpa have been so mistaken?
How could a man who can’t even control his own desires leap through the Dragon Gate to become a Martial Arts Great Grandmaster like Li Lingtian?
However, in front of outsiders, Moo Xi couldn’t just turn hostile, so she just glared fiercely at Li Chen.
“Director Zhao, can I take him away now?”
Director Zhao nodded like a pecking chicken, a sycophantic smile on his face.
“Of course, of course!”
Moo Xi gave Li Chen a cold look and said, “Let’s go!”
“Wait a minute!” Li Chen suddenly shouted.
“There is a girl called Lan Huanxi, she’s innocent, let her go too!”
Moo Xi looked surprised and asked, “Lan Huanxi?
Who is she?”
Director Zhao hurriedly answered, “A lady from the hair wash salon!”
“A lady from the hair wash salon?”
Moo Xi emphasized the word ‘lady’ heavily, looking disdainfully at Li Chen, seemingly waiting for his explanation.
However, Li Chen acted as if he didn’t see her, completely ignoring Lady Moo’s existence.
Seeing the situation becoming awkward again, Director Zhao quickly winked at Tang Xiaoxiao, “Little Tang, go bring Lan Huanxi over as well!”
Though reluctant, Tang Xiaoxiao still followed Director Zhao’s orders.
At this moment, Lan Huanxi, along with the hair wash salon’s boss, Huang Yan, and a few other ladies, were detained in a dark and damp interrogation room.
Naive to the ways of the world, Lan Huanxi was terrified, sitting in a corner wiping her tears alone.
The other ladies, veterans in dealing with such situations, were unfazed and carried on as usual.
“Why are you crying?
If it weren’t for you, this disaster, would we even be here?”
“Exactly, ever since you came to the hair wash salon, our sisters’ business has been declining day by day.”
“Scoff, all you do is act innocent.
Are you still hoping to keep yourself untouched, to climb up the ladder later?”
“Heh, as if she can climb any ladder in her situation.
I bet she’ll just be toyed with for a few years, and once they get bored, they’ll discard her like a worn-out shoe!”
…
Listening to the cold scorn from Lili and the others, Lan Huanxi stopped crying.
At just seventeen, she felt a deep malice from the world.
Thinking about the possibilities they mentioned, Lan Huanxi couldn’t help shuddering.
She wanted to fight against the shackles of fate, but felt helpless and desperate.
She could only curl up, shivering in the dark corner.
Right then, the heavy iron door outside creaked open.
The cold moonlight streamed through the gap, casting a silver glow.
Following, Tang Xiaoxiao’s somewhat angry voice came through the iron door.
“Lan Huanxi, come out!”
Confused, Lan Huanxi quickly sought help with her eyes from Huang Yan.
Huang Yan, kind-hearted, quickly comforted her, “Huanxi, don’t worry, it’s fine!”
Lan Huanxi nodded, then with her head hanging low, walked towards the door.
As she was about to exit, she asked in a choked voice, “Officer Sister, will I be sentenced?”
“Uh?”
Tang Xiaoxiao looked at this simple and naive girl, somewhat taken aback.
Seeing her weeping, Tang Xiaoxiao’s heart softened.
“No, we are letting you go.”
Lan Huanxi’s eyes widened, startled as she looked at Tang Xiaoxiao.
“Letting me go?”
Tang Xiaoxiao nodded and said, “Yes, letting you go.”
Still in disbelief, Lan Huanxi paused for a long time, glanced back at the interrogation room, and asked, “Will Sister Yan and the others also be released?”
Tang Xiaoxiao shook her head, “No, she only asked for your name.”
“My name?” Lan Huanxi asked.
Tang Xiaoxiao, somewhat impatiently, replied, “It’s Li Chen, the guy who went to your hair wash salon!”
Hearing this still somewhat unfamiliar name, Lan Huanxi immediately pictured that big young man with sharp eyebrows and a sunlit smile.
Is it him?
Soon, Lan Huanxi saw Li Chen.
Li Chen didn’t speak, just gave her a slight smile.
Still somewhat dazed, Lan Huanxi hesitated and instinctively smiled back at Li Chen.
Moo Xi, watching Li Chen who had always disregarded her, showing such favoritism towards a lady from the hair wash salon, felt an inexplicable rage building within her.
What do you think?
