As it turned out, Chen Xuyao was very cocky. He sat with his leg crossed, simply smirked at Zhang Xiqing's unending accusations. He waited until Zhang Xiqing finished her allegations against him before speaking. "Yup, I attacked you first, so what? I'm actually doing you a favor by teaching you a lesson. Many people don't even have the privilege for me to do so! Listen carefully, I've never hit a woman before. You, Zhang Xiqing, are the first! You should feel honored!"
The police officer massaged his forehead in agitation upon Chen Xuyao's remark. He had yet to learn the true identity of this man who was more pompous than the Zhang family, but he was very certain that he was either a fuerdai[1] or from an affluent political family.
Jiang Yao was amused by Chen Xuyao's remarks. She burst out laughing despite the fact that they were in inappropriate circumstances.
Chen Xuyao looked at Jiang Yao when he heard her laughter, intrigued. At this moment, he was even more amazed by her. She and his buddy, famously nicknamed Hades Lu, were indeed a match made in heaven. Instead of wailing and complaining about how he had caused her to be taken to the police station, she was still in the mood to laugh.
"Jiang Yao, I'm very glad to see you smile. By the way, since I have managed to make you laugh, could you please help me appeal for Brother Lu's mercy?" Chen Xuyao said sheepishly while touching his nose. It was not his intention to make a big deal out of it, but he couldn't control himself. He wished he could show those two rude brats what a living hell was.
Luckily, he had taken a precaution while they were on the way to the station. He had called his big brother, Liang Yueze, and explained the situation to him, convinced that he would arrange for someone to handle the situation for them. He was positive that the officers wouldn't dare lock him and Jiang Yao up, and that their charges would be dropped in no time.
Unfortunately, he was digging his own grave by being too loud and cocky. Little did he know that he had attracted Lu Xingzhi's attention with his voice. Lu Xingzhi leaned in to listen closely while asking the officer beside him, "Who are inside the room?"
"Oh, it's a case about a fight at the hotel," the officer answered gingerly.
To the officer's surprise, Lu Xingzhi immediately opened the door and went in.
"Hey, Sergeant Lu! Sergeant Lu!" The officer screamed behind him in shock. What was he doing? Didn't he come to investigate the car accident? Why did he want to pry into other cases?
