Chapter 82: A Slap That Sends You Into the Wall
In an office on the second floor of the police station, Xiao Yun witnessed Zhou Jinian slap Xue Rui, causing him to kneel on the floor.
At the same time, their conversation reached his ears.
"You idiot, you're usually so smart, how could you do something so foolish today? You almost got me killed!" Zhou Jinian shouted angrily at Xue Rui.
"Captain Zhou, you can't blame me. That guy with the surname Xiao is too formidable. I had him handcuffed, but who knew he could still..."
"Enough. I'll explain this to Wilson properly. According to Dark Fragrance, who is undercover around the Duan Family, although Xiao Yun has been confirmed as Duan Haoran's grandson, his identity hasn't been made public yet. As for this kid, we better not confront him directly; he might end up holding significant power in the Duan Group in the future, and we may need his help later."
"I understand, Captain Zhou. But I really can't swallow this anger. If it weren't for that guy with the surname Xiao stirring things up, Ouyang Bing would never have turned against me!"
"You're still thinking about Ouyang Bing? You can't blame Xiao Yun for this. Who told you to bring out that Red Sister? You're just asking for trouble!"
"Captain Zhou..."
"Alright, this incident has gotten a bit out of hand today. You shouldn't stay in the Criminal Investigation Team anymore. I'll arrange for someone to place you as a Chief at a police station in a rural town for a couple of years. Later, I'll see about transferring you back up here..."
"Captain Zhou, I don't want to go to the countryside..."
"Damn it! You messed things up so badly at the police station today. If you don't want to go to the countryside, do you expect to fly up instead?" Zhou Jinian glared and shouted.
"…"
Xue Rui wanted to say something more, but under Zhou's fierce glare, he swallowed his words back down.
The conversation between the two ended, and Xiao Yun retracted his Spiritual Sense, hailing a taxi to rush to the Rose Garden Community.
The earlier dialogue between Zhou Jinian and Xue Rui left Xiao Yun shaken and astonished. He never expected that the mastermind behind Xue Rui's actions today was Zhou Jinian.
What surprised him even more was the connection between Zhou Jinian and Wilson.
From this, Xiao Yun understood that Wilson was coming here to propose to Duan Qingxue in the next couple of days. However, fearing that he might interfere, Zhou Jinian set this trap to confine him during this time so that he wouldn't appear when Wilson proposed.
Moreover, his relationship with the Duan Family had somehow come to Zhou Jinian's knowledge. From his tone, it was clear that someone had been lurking around Duan Haoran, named Dark Fragrance.
However, Dark Fragrance did not sound like a person's name but rather a code name.
When Duan Haoran visited the Fragrant Flower Shop, he only brought two people with him: Gu Tianfeng and An Yiran. When discussing his relationship with the Duan Family, only they were present.
Among An Yiran and Gu Tianfeng, one of them must be Dark Fragrance.
So, who exactly is Dark Fragrance?
Is it Gu Tianfeng?
Or An Yiran?
Is this Dark Fragrance associated with Zhou Jinian or Wilson?
What is the purpose of having someone infiltrate Duan Haoran's side? Is it to steal commercial secrets from the Duan Group or for some other ulterior motive?
The situation was becoming increasingly complicated.
Xiao Yun shook his head inwardly. This old man in Galaxy City’s business world was quite influential, seemingly thriving on the surface, but in reality, he was surrounded by hidden dangers, with many people eyeing him covetously!
Xiao Yun's brows furrowed tighter.
After all, Duan Haoran was his own grandfather, and he wasn't sure if he should give him a warning at this moment.
"Help! Someone is robbing me..."
Not far away, a young woman with disheveled hair was sitting on the ground, crying out.
Xiao Yun quickly told the driver, "Stop the car!"
He tossed a Gape bill to the driver without waiting for change and rushed over to the woman, asking, "Who robbed you?"
"Three young men with dyed yellow hair!" The woman choked out as she pointed ahead.
Following her finger, Xiao Yun used his Spiritual Sense to scan the area and, across a street, he indeed saw three blond kids darting into an alley.
"Miss, stay here for a moment. I'll go bring those three punks back!"
A few onlookers heard him and immediately scoffed. Those robbers had already run off for quite a while; this kid was just talking big—where would he even find them?
As they were discussing, they suddenly saw a blur; the young man swayed and then vanished from sight.
When they looked again, Xiao Yun had already sprinted over a hundred meters away.
Can this guy fly? How did he run so far in the blink of an eye?
In a narrow alley, three young men with yellow hair stopped to catch their breath. They looked back to see no one was coming and laughed heartily.
"Xiao San, take out what you've got and let’s see if there’s anything valuable inside," one of the Big Guys said, pointing at Shorty's belly.
Shorty, wearing a plaid shirt, had a big belly, and with his slightly long hair, from the side, one might mistake him for a pregnant woman.
Before Shorty could react, a younger guy standing nearby eagerly reached out and lifted Shorty's shirt, pulling out a pink wallet from inside.
He unzipped it, and the three of them leaned in, their eyes lighting up as they saw a stack of brand new bills inside.
They took the money out and counted it—exactly One Hundred Thousand Yuan.
"Awesome! Today we’re lucky! Damn, just stepping out and money falls on us!"
"Let’s find a place to have a good meal."
"Yeah, big brother, let’s call some girls over to celebrate."
Just as they were about to leave, a cold voice rang out behind them: "What’s this? You rob someone and then go looking for girls to have fun? Is there such a good deal in this world?"
Turning around, they saw a young man with his hands in his pockets, staring at them with piercing eyes.
"Who the hell are you? Get lost!" the Big Guy said, flipping his yellow hair dramatically and flexing his arms to show off the two dinosaur tattoos on his biceps in front of Xiao Yun.
"Did you see the Tyrannosaurus Rex tattoo on my brother's arm?" Shorty boasted. "A couple of days ago, he encountered someone who didn't know better. With just one sneeze, my brother took out both of his legs!"
Mud Horse thought to himself that claiming to take out someone's legs with a sneeze was quite the exaggeration.
Xiao Yun suddenly put on a flattering smile and looked at Big Guy. "That's impressive! I guess I should call you Sneeze Brother now!"
Sneeze Brother? That was a fresh nickname.
"Sure, I like it!" Big Guy replied in an extremely tough tone. "But you, idiot, have to kneel down to call me that!"
The two Little Brothers following him burst into laughter, finding it hilarious.
"Big Brother, you're amazing!" Shorty said, giving a thumbs up as a compliment.
"Go ahead and call him," another chimed in proudly. "If you annoy my brother, be careful; he might slap you into the wall and you'll never get out!"
The Blond Giant clearly had no idea what kind of person Xiao Yun was. Just with that one comment, his misfortune began—The Pinnacle of Elegance had updated.
