Feng City’s antique street.
“Oh~ my~, it’s so good to be out. The view, the light, the air!”
Ye Xiaolu moved as gracefully as a swallow in Su Qingyi’s body. Hopping and bouncing behind Li Mo.
Su Qingyi’s months of hard work into controlling her body had squeezed not one drop of progress. Then Ye Xiaolu came aboard and felt right at home. To add insult to injury, she wasn’t even limited to how long she can use the body. She was no different from a living and breathing human being.
Li Mo silently browsed the stalls, looking for some useful jades. Ye Xiaolu wasn’t planned for this trip. She sneaked out and followed him.
After a tour around the stalls, Li Mo came out with a pile of jades. Ye Xiaolu, you ask? She became the public enemy of the sellers in record time.
“Boss, how much for the jade pendant?”
“Twenty thousand!”
“I’m buying it, so put it on.”
The stall owner placed it on her neck then she suddenly changed her mind about wanting it.
While others haggled over the price, she downright bolted, leaving the seller hanging.
Ye Xiaolu wasn’t evil, but spoiled rotten – rotten to the core. So much so the people were driven up the wall.
Li Mo finished buying another ancient jade for ten thousand then looked to find Ye Xiaolu eating at a KFC joint.
Li Mo walked to the KFC joint with the thought of going home now that he got what he needed.
“Xiao Yan, hear me out, please. That’s not what I mean at all. Slow down.”
A stunning and hot teenage girl was walking down the street with a young man in flowery clothes constantly explaining himself right behind her.
“Is that right?”
Xiao Yan faced the young man just when Li Mo was passing by. She huffed at the young man and then gave Li Mo a kiss.
“Ahhh, what are you doing? Are you cheating on me?” The flowery clothed youth wailed.
“And if I am, what are you gonna do about it?”
Xiao Yan raised her head high.
“I’ll kill you!” The youth charged Li Mo with a switchblade.
The youth had not an ounce of remorse as he wanted to use the cold blade and rob Li Mo of his life.
Li Mo’s face hardened then kicked him to the curb.
The youth was slumped on the sidewalk, out like a light.
“Garbage.”
Xiao Yan stomped her feet and was grabbed by Li Mo just as she wanted to leave.
“What are you doing? Let me go!” The girl screamed.
Li Mo was nonplussed, “Using me as a shield at your convenience would’ve gotten a normal person. You started this and now you want to leave?”
“So what if I do? Do you know who I am? You dare mess with me? You have a death wish or something?”
“I don’t care who you are, nor am I inclined to know. I’m just going to knock some sense into you.”
“Y-you dare?” The girl’s struggle was for naught.
Bang!
Li Mo slapped her soundly. In her daze, the second slap already arrived.
The girl broke out crying.
The flowery clothed youth stood on shaky legs, making a shivering phone call. That kick knocked some sense into him. Li Mo wasn’t to mess with, not by him at least.
“You dare hit me?! I’ll have my daddy put you down!”
Bang!
Bang!
Another two slaps rang true.
“Zip it!”
The girl was scared of even letting a peep despite crying.
For all her life she had never been struck once. Only she had the right to mess with others. Since when did the tables turn?
The flowery clothed youth pointed at Li Mo, “You’re dead. You have the nerve to mess with who you shouldn’t? I am Wan….”
Li Mo’s kick sent him sprawling into unconsciousness.
“Saying something like messing with who you shouldn’t, then introducing yourself makes you in fact the biggest garbage here.”
The girl paled and even forgot to cry seeing the youth taken out like nothing.
“What’s happening? What’s going on?”
Ye Xiaolu wiped her mouth with a napkin as she made her way through the crowd to see what was all the racket about.
Vroom~
A sports Mercedes pulled to a screeching stop with three cop cruisers behind it. Dozens of armed cops ran over to the scene.
The crowd scattered, leaving Li Mo and Ye Xiaolu surrounded by cops.
From the sports car, a dashing and dignified middle-aged man stepped out. The girl ran in tears at his sight.
Ye Xiaolu stopped her dead in her tracks.
“Let me go! Daddy, daddy, he hit me!” The girl wailed.
“Zip it!” Li Mo barked and the girl was scared in covering her mouth.
“You must be tired of living to hit Wang Dong’s daughter!” The middle-aged man threatened.
Next to him stood a portly police officer with an unsightly grimace as he shouted, “Arrest him!”
He was the chief of police in Feng City, Bu Zhengyi.
“Waaait!”
A female cop came out of the group of policemen, Liu Yuxuan.
Liu Yuxuan was baffled, “Chief Luo, what crime has he committed, needing so many men to arrest one man?”
“They are having an open brawl and we are here to mediate. How else can we apprehend drug dealers if not by using numbers?
“He is a drug dealer and charged with possession. Now are you satisfied?”
Liu Yuxuan didn’t seem to catch his drift, “Is he wanted? Was there an arrest issued on him?”
“He is now. Now stand down. This doesn’t concern you!”
Chief Luo was hoping to show off before Wang Dong. But then his own officer talked back to him and shamed him.
Liu Yuxuan was relentless, arguing with Chief Luo at every turn. Meanwhile, the police cordon tightened on Li Mo.
The flowery clothed youth got his wits about him finally. He took in the scene and shouted, “Now you know what it means to mess with who you shouldn’t?”
“Oh, is that what this is?”
Li Mo paused then reached into his chest, putting the cops on edge.
“Don’t misunderstand. I’m just taking out a business card.”
Chief Luo stepped forward, “As if! You’re clearly resisting arrest. Listen up, if this drug dealer makes any sudden moves, kill him on the spot!”
Liu Yuxuan was flustered, “Chief Luo, this isn’t…”
“Liu Yuxuan, stop disrespecting your superior. One more word out of you and I will have you removed from duty!”
“I don’t want to be a police officer who can’t see right from wrong!”
Liu Yuxuan threw her badge on the ground.
