“Are you saying, he jumped out of the van that hit him, then another car rushed at him, but he leaped onto it while it was moving too quickly, smashed the window with a fist, dragged out the driver and beat him up.

Finally, he took down five or six weapon-wielding thugs barehanded, in less than a minute?”

Xia Xue asked an eyewitness with a steady gaze.

The eyewitness nodded.

Xia Xue turned and asked a few policemen behind her, “Do you think what he said is credible?

Does it make logical sense?”

The policemen collectively shook their heads.

The eyewitness murmured uncertainly, “Maybe I was hallucinating!

And, it was dark out, I didn’t see very clearly.

Everything happened so fast.”

With a nod, Xia Xue left the interrogation room with a group of policemen.

A policeman asked her, “Sister Xia, what should we do?”

Xia Xue glanced at him and said, “Staged accidents, attempted murder.

What do you think we should do?”

Inside an interrogation room.

Li Zhongnan relished the rare quietness, and began to reflect on things.

The words of the burly naked man were somewhat convincing.

He did have quarrels with them, but even if they wanted revenge, they wouldn’t risk such a big move to kill him.

So, who was trying to kill him?

After sorting out his relationships, he hadn’t offended many people – Gao Dalang’s one-eyed wolf was one, and then the thugs he offended when he rescued Zhao Yi.

If indeed there was a mastermind behind this, it should be one of these two groups.

The former seemed to be less suspicious.

Gangsters like Gao Dalang fight and kill all the time, but grievances are usually resolved face to face or through direct confrontations.

They wouldn’t plan a car accident to commit murder, would they?

As for those thugs, they are the most likely.

That night, those guys were all armed.

Moreover, while he wasn’t certain of Zhao Yi’s identity, they dared to kidnap her just because her brother held the deputy position in a county-level city.

Killing him, a minor character, was both within their power and their gall.

Anyone else?

Li Zhongnan felt he still missed something, but couldn’t get a hold of it.

Forget it, it’s better to think about his current situation first.

A driver without a license, surely he couldn’t avoid it, and there might even be a charge of excessive defense or even intentional injury.

That’s tough!

Driving without a license could at most result in a fine and a fifteen-day detention, but if they charged him with intentional injury, he could end up in prison for a few years.

He might be strong enough to fight a hundred, even a thousand, but no matter how strong he was, he didn’t have the power to fight against the enforcement.

Perhaps, he would really have to do a few years?

Li Zhongnan felt a little uneasy, but was confident that after a few years in jail, he could still rise quickly upon his release.

But, he just promised Yao Danhong to earn a hundred million in a year!

Of course, he didn’t regret it.

He wasn’t a saint.

After surviving an assassination, getting a little angry was normal.

Even if he could do it again, he would still choose to beat them up.

No problem with that!

The problem was, he had neither identity nor fame, making him too weak.

Even with such issues arising, he doubted anyone could help him hire a lawyer.

If he were someone influential, he would have been bailed out a long time ago.

It didn’t work to fight alone!

As he was thinking, a female police officer walked in.

It was the manlike woman.

But indeed, she was good-looking, the more he looked, the more he liked.

Ahem, he wasn’t turning gay, was he?

Seeing her, Li Zhongnan gave a hearty smile, “Beautiful officer, you finally came, I’ve been waiting so long the flowers have withered.

I’m the victim!

I’m wronged!”

Xia Xue looked at him and came over to unlock the handcuffs on his wrists, saying coolly, “Li Zhongnan, you can go!”

“I can go?”

Li Zhongnan was slightly stunned.

He was a bit confused.

Did he hear it wrong?

Was she just letting him go like this?

They weren’t even pursuing the driving without a license?

Xia Xue smirked, “Do you want to stay in there?”

With that, she led him out.

After leaving the police station, he lit a cigarette.

The more he looked at the man-like woman, the more he liked her.

Everything about her was pretty nice, except her chest was a bit small.

Initially, he was ready to accept a few years in jail, but she just let him go.

While smoking, Li Zhongnan said gratefully, “Beautiful officer, thank you!

You are the modern Justice Bao, you are the best and most beautiful cop in the world.

With a justice like you, it’s a blessing for the whole of Nangang and the entire nation!”

Xia Xue rolled her eyes at him and said, “I’m just fulfilling a request!

You look annoying, go away!”

With that, she recited a series of numbers, then said, “This is my number, contact me if needed.

I can’t help you with big things, but small things are no problem.”

Without waiting for his response, she turned and walked away.

Huh?

Fulfilling a request?

Could it be Zhao Yi?

Yesterday morning, didn’t Zhuo Ting keep calling her Director Zhao?

Could she be the director of Nangang City’s Public Security Bureau?

Holy hell, if so, he really lucked out!

In Nangang City, wouldn’t he, Li, swagger wherever he goes?

With no second thoughts, he dialed her number and smiled, “Old Zhao, thank you!”

Zhao Yi groggily answered, “What are you thanking me for in the middle of the night?” She sounded drowsy, probably just woke from a dream.

Li Zhongnan was stunned for a moment, “Wasn’t it you who got me out of the police station?”

Zhao Yi asked again, “Police station?

What happened to you?”

Li Zhongnan was baffled again, it wasn’t Zhao Yi.

Apart from her, who could it be?

He knew no one else of high status!

Moreover, it’s clear that Xia Xue knew he was there only after she arrived at the scene, not specifically for him.

This means, someone had asked her to take care of him long ago?

How could that be!

Did she lie?

Could it be that she had met him once before, was amazed by him, fell in love at first sight, and has been secretly in love with him up till now?

Ahem, anything’s possible!

After some thought, Li Zhongnan still broadly outlined the situation to Zhao Yi.

Upon hearing he encountered an assassination attempt, Zhao Yi got nervous immediately, “Zhongnan, are you okay?

Stay at the police station entrance, don’t go anywhere, I’ll come pick you up!”

Li Zhongnan was slightly moved by that.

This was past one o’clock in the morning.

Okay, it seems rescuing her once wasn’t wasted.

About fifteen minutes later, an Audi parked in front of him.

The car door opened, and out came Zhao Yi.

Seeing the blood all over him, she asked anxiously, “Zhongnan, are you hurt?”

Li Zhongnan laughed, “Who am I?

Can I get hurt?

You know I can fight, what are you worried about!

The blood on me is from others, I, uh, I got it on myself when the police arrived.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi couldn’t help but chuckle and immediately relaxed.

That’s indeed his style.

Seeing her laughing, Li Zhongnan joked, “It’s okay, but my car was impounded by the traffic police.

Now there are no buses or taxis, I can’t go back to the Northrealm.”

“Old Zhao, how about, you shelter me for one night?”

Zhao Yi promptly replied, “Okay!”
