"Fatty, your sister-in-law and I were beaten up at an intersection and we're at the police station now."
"Ah, Boss Xu, are you guys alright...?" The fat man was about to ask if anything was wrong, but then changed his mind and said, "Okay, I'll call right away."
After hanging up, Li Cheng began to think about the Li family's network of friends in Yunnan Province. Three minutes later, he made a phone call.
"Uncle Wang, hello, am I disturbing you now?"
"Hey kid, why are you being so polite with your uncle? Get to the point."
"I have a friend who has been misunderstood and is currently at the Lijiang Police Station in Yunnan Province. Uncle Wang, could you please put in a good word for him?"
"You've been misunderstood? Explain yourself. If you're a bad guy, I won't help you out." The middle-aged man surnamed Wang was very familiar with the Li family and was considered Li Cheng's elder, which is why he asked such a question.
“I just spoke to him on the phone but didn’t ask many questions and don’t know the details. Uncle Wang, I’m not trying to scare you, but you’d better call him soon, otherwise the commotion might not be small. My friend and Grandpa Tang are very close friends.”
"Ah, okay, I'll call right away." He thought for a moment, realizing that Li Cheng had no reason to lie to him about this, and immediately felt the matter was serious. He dialed the relevant number immediately. The call went straight to the bureau chief's desk. "You idiot, what kind of work have you done? You've arrested an innocent person and sent him to the police station."
"What innocent person? What are you talking about, Director? I'm not quite sure." The bureau chief genuinely hadn't connected the dots with Xu Chen yet, so he was completely bewildered.
"I'm asking you, wasn't a young man just arrested and taken to your police station? Did you even meet him?"
"Oh, oh, yes, yes, Director, is that your relative?"
"Kiss my foot! Let him go right now. If he doesn't leave the police station today, you're getting out of here without that uniform."
Upon hearing this, the bureau chief immediately jumped up from his chair, rushed downstairs, and escorted Xu Chen and Wang Li out of the police station. Then he dialed his superior's number again.
"Boss, they've already left."
"Find out who's behind this."
"Boss, who is that young man to you?"
“He’s the one who can decide my career, he’s my own father, are you satisfied now? They’re going to stay in Lijiang for a few more days, so you need to investigate this matter thoroughly and send me a report. Also, send someone to inform that young man.”
"Okay, okay."
Li Cheng was waiting by the roadside in his rented car when he saw Xu Chen and Wang Li walk out of the police station, and he hurriedly came to greet them.
"Brother Xu, sister-in-law, are you alright?"
"It's alright, thanks to you."
"It's good that you're alright. Boss Xu, what exactly happened today?"
Wang Li explained the matter concisely and directly, while Xu Chen spread his hands in a gesture of helplessness.
"Where is that Zhao Ritian? I really want to have a good chat with him."
"Forget it, he's just a clown. Let's go back to the hotel."
Over the next few days, the group traveled around Yunnan Province before returning home. Xu Chen and Wang Li also boarded a plane to Changsha.
"Chenchen, although a few things happened these past few days, I'm still very happy."
"As long as you're satisfied, let's go back to the capital after your birthday."
"Oh, so early?"
"You don't want to? Fine, we can do it a few days later."
"It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that I have doubts. After all, it's still a week before school starts after my birthday."
"It's okay, I'll do whatever you say. I just want to go to the factory and check on things."
The two chatted back and forth, discussing the details of the next few days, and before they knew it, they had arrived in Xingcheng.
"Chenchen, I wish I could fly," Wang Li said wistfully, looking at the airplane flying in the sky.
"No rush. Cultivation is all about the principle that haste makes waste."
Just then, Xu Chen's phone rang. He answered it and found that it was Qin Junlin calling.
"Boss, have we arrived in Xingcheng yet?"
"Of course you can get through to me, doesn't that prove I've arrived?"
"I received an urgent mission as soon as I got off the plane, and the destination was Guizhou Province."
"What? Tell me in detail?" Xu Chen led Wang Li into a taxi and continued his call with Qin Junlin.
"Reporting from here, we have discovered a site that, according to photos, resembles a martial arts sect from local folklore."
"We need to get this under control quickly, or the consequences will be dire," Xu Chen advised.
"It's too late. Those with ulterior motives have already looted the ruins. Elder Tang has already listed this as an urgent matter, and our entire team has been mobilized."
"I'll come and take a look, but it will be the day after tomorrow. Report to me immediately if anything happens. If things become unmanageable, let me know and I'll come right away."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Chen transmitted his voice to Wang Li: "Lili, the ruins of a martial arts sect have been discovered up there, and things are a bit tricky."
Wang Li thought to herself, "What should we do? Do you need to go there immediately?"
"No, no, Tang Tiancheng hasn't spoken to me, which means things aren't beyond repair yet. I'll spend your birthday with you tomorrow, and I'll fly to Guizhou Province the day after tomorrow."
Wang Li nodded. Regardless of whether Xu Chen's decision was reasonable or not, she would support him. The two spent some time together at Wang Li's home before Xu Chen left.
After visiting their relatives, Wang Yuanchao and his wife breathed a sigh of relief when their daughter returned home. During the Spring Festival, the crowds were large and the situation was complicated, and the couple had been genuinely worried.
"Lili, go take a shower, Mom will cook for you."
"Okay, Mom."
Seeing Gong Yan enter the kitchen, Wang Li said to Wang Yuanchao curiously, "Dad, it seems that Mom has changed a lot too."
"Oh, Lily, what do you mean by that?"
“When I’m home on holiday, my mom usually urges me to study or do chores. But now she seems like a completely different person.”
"You silly daughter, your mother can't bear to part with you. You and Xu Chen are doing well now, and you'll even get married in the future. Once a daughter is married, she's like water spilled from a bowl. Tell me, how could your mother bear to let you do anything?"
"So that's why." Wang Li's eyes were filled with tears, but she still went into the kitchen to help her mother.
The next morning, Wang Yuanchao and Gong Yan had to go to work early. Wang Li and Xu Chen received countless requests from their high school classmates to attend Wang Li's birthday party, and she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She quickly called Xu Chen.
"Chenchen, did you receive the WeChat message?"
"What WeChat message? Lili, what are you talking about?"
"My classmates all want to come celebrate my birthday, even though I didn't tell them anything."
“Lili, even the rich have distant relatives. You are now a talented woman from Peking University with unlimited potential. It is only natural for them to have such feelings.”
"Chenchen, what should we do? I haven't prepared anything!"
"I'll take care of it."
