"Even ordinary people can possess great power; after all, you can't judge a book by its cover, nor can you measure the sea with a single dipper."
Chu Lingtian replied to Bai Mei's questioning with a faint smile.
Bai Mei gave Chu Lingtian an exasperated look and continued to urge him, "Hurry up and take your girlfriend and leave. I'll handle the rest. You must leave Da Chang City tonight and never return. Once Wei Song and Wang Jie's fathers learn of this, they will mobilize terrifying forces to search for you citywide. If they find you, you'll surely lose your life."
"Why are you helping me like this? Aren't you afraid that once I leave, Wei Song and Wang Jie's fathers will vent their fury on you, and you and your entire Hong Hua Hui will be ruined?" Chu Lingtian asked with a smile.
Bai Mei had previously sent Huang Hao, the bar manager, to deliver expensive Romanee-Conti wine. Chu Lingtian knew that Bai Mei intended to recruit him into the Hong Hua Hui and make him her subordinate. Yet tonight, after arriving at the bar, Bai Mei had gone so far as to fall out with the notorious young masters Wei Song and Wang Jie to help him, disregarding her own life and the entire Hong Hua Hui's fate.
This made Chu Lingtian a bit puzzled. Why would Bai Mei do this?
Bai Mei looked at Chu Lingtian and said earnestly, "I do want you to join my Hong Hua Hui because we need formidable combat power like yours. However, my helping you tonight has nothing to do with trying to recruit you. It's simply because, at the San He Gang headquarters, if it weren't for you, I would have been imprisoned, played with, and my body tormented by Li Wei, even if I didn't die. That would have been a hundred times worse than death. Therefore, I want to repay your life-saving grace."
"I told you back then that I didn't kill Li Wei to save you; it was just a coincidence that I also had a grudge against Li Wei. It was your good fortune that saved you," Chu Lingtian replied.
"Whether it was a coincidence or good luck, the fact remains that you saved me. This time, I want to repay your life-saving grace." Bai Mei said with sincere eyes and a firm tone.
At this moment, Chu Lingtian's good impression of Bai Mei deepened.
Just then, the wail of police sirens echoed from outside the bar's entrance.
A trusted close female bodyguard of Bai Mei hurried forward and reported, "Sister, three police cars have arrived outside. More than a dozen armed police officers have descended from the vehicles and have blocked the front and back entrances of the bar."
"Who is the leading officer? Do we know them?" Bai Mei asked.
"It's Xiao Lengyue, the notorious hot-tempered police beauty from our Da Chang City police department." The close female bodyguard replied.
Bai Mei frowned. She had hoped the leading officer might be someone she knew, giving her a chance to mediate. But upon hearing it was Xiao Lengyue, her gaze shifted to Chu Lingtian, and she urged, "Quick, hurry and take your girlfriend away. I'll have someone cover you as you escape through the back door. The officer leading the team this time is Xiao Lengyue. She's known in Da Chang City for her fiery temper and hatred of evil. She will absolutely not let you go."
"Don't police have to act based on evidence? Is Xiao Lengyue going to shoot me dead without discerning right from wrong?" Chu Lingtian asked.
Xiao Lengyue, that hot-tempered police beauty, had always wanted to teach him, Chu Lingtian, a lesson. She wanted revenge for the time he had spanked her severely in the police station's interrogation room. However, Xiao Lengyue couldn't defeat Chu Lingtian herself. Later, she had summoned her father, the commander of the Da Chang City Military Region, but still couldn't deal with Chu Lingtian. Therefore, this hot-tempered, buxom police beauty must have been resentful and wouldn't give up.
However, based on Chu Lingtian's observations of Xiao Lengyue, this beautiful police flower with large breasts and a large derrière, despite her fiery temper and being somewhat hot-headed, was upright and would absolutely not abuse her power or bully others. This was why Chu Lingtian had posed that question to Bai Mei.
"Don't you remember? Xiao Lengyue's superior is Director Wang Haiyang, and Wang Jie is Wang Haiyang's biological son. When Xiao Lengyue arrives, who do you think she'll believe – Wang Jie's words or ours? Will she help Wang Jie or us?" Bai Mei retorted.
At this moment, Wang Jie, enduring the immense pain of his broken hand and groin, gritted his teeth and walked up to Chu Lingtian, pointing at his nose and cursing arrogantly, "Hahahaha, Chu Lingtian, did you hear that? The police sirens are sounding outside. The police under my dad are coming with guns. You're finished, you're dead! Even if you kneel down and kowtow a hundred times now, you won't save your dog life!"
*Whoosh!*
Chu Lingtian's eyes turned cold. He grabbed Wang Jie's throat with his right hand and lifted him completely off the ground, like picking up a chick.
Everyone present was shocked. Wang Jie weighed at least 180 jin, yet Chu Lingtian lifted him with one hand as if it were effortless. His strength was simply too immense.
*Bang!*
With a loud crash, the bar door was kicked open. Xiao Lengyue, leading the team with guns, rushed in first.
"Chu Lingtian?"
Upon seeing Chu Lingtian, Xiao Lengyue was stunned. She had not expected the heinous criminal Wang Jie had asked her to arrest to be the man she had always wanted to discipline, Chu Lingtian.
"Big Boobs, I didn't expect us to be so fated," Chu Lingtian grinned, his eyes appraising the pair of large breasts on Xiao Lengyue's upper body, teasingly.
Hearing Chu Lingtian's words, Wang Jie, Bai Mei, and the other police officers behind Xiao Lengyue were all dumbfounded. They had never dreamed that someone would dare to openly tease Xiao Lengyue, the hot-tempered police beauty, and even give her the nickname "Big Boobs" based on her large chest.
"Bastard, let go of Wang Jie immediately, or I'll shoot you dead!" Xiao Lengyue's face turned red with anger, her large breasts trembling. She held her gun with both hands, pointing it at Chu Lingtian's head, and yelled furiously.
Bai Mei also quickly said, "You, quickly let go of Wang Jie. Don't court death. This is a gun."
"Brother Chu, you, why don't you let go first? The police will definitely investigate the truth and give us justice," Guo Xiaoyan also chimed in.
Chu Lingtian knew that Bai Mei and Guo Xiaoyan were acting for his own good, worried that he might provoke Xiao Lengyue. If this hot-tempered police beauty truly lost control and fired, he would be finished. However, Chu Lingtian had his own way of doing things and his own temper. He smiled and said, "Big Boobs, why don't you first investigate the truth and see if I should teach these two scumbags a lesson."
"Chu Lingtian, I'm going to count to three. If you don't put Wang Jie down, I will shoot." To his surprise, Xiao Lengyue completely ignored Chu Lingtian's words and did not reason with him. She shouted in a娇声 (sweet but commanding voice).
Before Chu Lingtian could reply, Xiao Lengyue began to count loudly.
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three..."
