Zhang ng saw this scene and imdiately ran up, embracing Li Xiaoyao like a little lioness, roaring, "What are you doing, why are you arresting Xiaoyao Brother?"
The police officer said coldly, "Miss, please do not interfere with official duties."
Li Xiaoyao said, "ng ng, you go back first, I’m just going to assist with the investigation, I’ll be back soon. You stay at ho and sort out the invitations, wait for to return."
Zhang ng looked at Li Xiaoyao worriedly, but in the end, she chose to trust him.
"Xiaoyao Brother, I’ll wait for you."
The police took Li Xiaoyao away, and on the way back to the police station, Li Xiaoyao leaned back in his seat, with his eyes closed.
The police officer beside him was instantly annoyed upon seeing Li Xiaoyao’s deanor and said, "Kid, do you know that you’ve committed murder?"
Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes, glanced at him, and said, "Officer, you have to take responsibility for what you say. If I were you, I would keep my mouth shut without any evidence."
The police officer was startled, then sneered, "Heh, kid, you’re just being tough now. The highway surveillance has recorded all your actions."
Li Xiaoyao thought to himself that it must be the evidence left by accident when he killed that sniper last night.
However, these were not a big deal for Li Xiaoyao.
Li Xiaoyao said, "Give my phone, I need to make a call."
"Scared now? Want to call for help?" The police officer said with disgust, "Kid, let tell you, even if you found the governor to intervene, it won’t help. You committed murder, and you did it so arrogantly in the middle of a busy road."
Li Xiaoyao gave him a cold glance, exerted a slight force with his hands, and the handcuffs imdiately snapped apart.
The police officer was stunned for a mont, then he reached to draw his gun. In the next instant, the dark muzzle was pressed against Li Xiaoyao’s head as he shouted loudly, "Raise your hands!"
Li Xiaoyao completely ignored the agitated police officer and took out his phone from his pocket to call Ji Yutao directly.
Seeing Li Xiaoyao being so defiant, the police officer was furious and jabbed his gun-wielding wrist forcefully towards Li Xiaoyao.
"Bang!" At a distance of ten centiters from Li Xiaoyao’s head, the wrist suddenly stopped as if it had thudded against a huge rock, and a strong rebounding force spread to his arm.
The police officer was so shaken by the force that he felt dizzy. The driving officer, hearing the commotion, quickly braked to a stop on the side of the road, reached for his own gun, twisted his body around, and pointed the barrel at Li Xiaoyao.
"Put the phone down! Right now!"
By this ti, Li Xiaoyao had connected his call and simply said, "I’ve run into so trouble, soone’s frad for murder."

After speaking, Li Xiaoyao put down the phone and said nonchalantly, "Soone will call you soon. What you need to do now is to put down the guns and take back."
The two police officers looked at Li Xiaoyao as if he were crazy and said, "Kid, did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? Do you understand that you’ve killed soone? You’re looking at a capital cri!"
Li Xiaoyao shook his head slightly, a bunch of mortals with mortal eyes, they don’t recognize a cultivator.
How could the rules of the mundane world be of any use to ?
Li Xiaoyao didn’t bother to waste words with them since they wouldn’t understand anyway.
If things went as he expected, in a few minutes at most, soone would call to have him taken back.
Sure enough, after a deadlock of five minutes, the two police officers received a call.
After the call, the way the two police officers looked at Li Xiaoyao changed.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Li, we’ll take you back now," they said.
It was like a farce that ended in an absurd manner.
When Li Xiaoyao was returned, Zhang ng was anxiously pacing at the shop’s entrance.
"Xiaoyao Brother, you’re back!"
Zhang ng ran up to him, overjoyed.
Li Xiaoyao patted her hair and said, "Let’s go inside."
The police officers, deflated like burst balloons, drove off.
On the way back, the two officers said, "Why did we let him go? The evidence was conclusive."
"The deputy chief said the surveillance footage was fabricated."
"What? Fabricated?"
"Now that I think about it, it did seem fabricated. Tell , who can stop a high-speed car with a punch?"
"It seems...indeed, that’s true."

"But why did the handcuffs on that kid’s wrist just break for no reason?"
As this was said, the two police officers exchanged a glance and fell silent.
...
With the store opening imminent, Li Xiaoyao spent an entire day driving Zhang ng around, visiting several of Ling City’s influential figures.
Zhang ng felt like she must be dreaming.
Was that middle-aged man living in Building 1 of the governnt housing complex actually Ji Yutao, the top official of Ling City?
My god, she had actually t Chairman Ji.
Moreover, why was Chairman Ji’s attitude toward Xiaoyao so respectful?
It was as if he was paying respects to an elder.
This was sothing Zhang ng couldn’t quite comprehend.
The others they visited afterwards, though unfamiliar to Zhang ng, had an aura of high status naturally emanating from them, whether because of the Republic-era villas they resided in or their deanor. It made Zhang ng realize these people were definitely not ordinary.
It suddenly dawned on Zhang ng that, unaware, Li Xiaoyao had beco soone she needed to look up to.
But when did this happen?
Why did brother Xiaoyao suddenly beco so powerful?
She must strive hard and achieve sothing noteworthy herself, she couldn’t always rely on brother Xiaoyao.
Determined, Zhang ng secretly clenched her fists, cheering herself on.
There were only a few people whom Li Xiaoyao and Zhang ng personally delivered invitations to.
These individuals were prominent figures in Ling City and the whole Lu Province.
The remaining invitations, for people like Long Feiyang, Zhao Si, and Zhou Tianhao, Li Xiaoyao sent out directly via express delivery.
So invitations, however, Li Xiaoyao needed to deliver personally.
Such as, Ye Qinglian, Wang Min, oh right, and Lin Yuanyuan, Zhao Ge...
Zhang ng called Zhuo Yi, planning to invite her to buy so tea, pastries, banners, flower baskets, and the like.
These were all needed for the opening event.
However, Zhuo Yi’s phone remained unreachable no matter how many tis Zhang ng tried to call.
Zhang ng ca over and muttered, "What’s Zhuo Yi up to? Why isn’t she answering my calls?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyao’s body jolted, then he quickly said, "Maybe she’s gone on a business trip."
"That’s true, Zhuo Yi is quite busy now," Zhang ng didn’t think much of it, took out her cellphone, and called another friend.
Soon, Zhang ng had arranged where to et with her friend and then drove away.
Li Xiaoyao stayed in the store for a few minutes longer before driving off as well.
In his car, Li Xiaoyao called Ye Qinglian. The phone rang a few tis before connecting.
"What’s up?" Ye Qinglian asked in a suppressed voice.
Li Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow, "You’re busy?"
"Spit it out if you have sothing to say, don’t waste my ti catching criminals," Ye Qinglian said impatiently.
"Oh, you’re catching bad guys? Officer Ye, you really are a good police officer for the people," Li Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up."
"Hey, wait, there’s sothing," Li Xiaoyao interjected, "Where are you? I’ll co over and give you an invitation."
Ye Qinglian paused for a mont before asking, "Invitation? What invitation? Are you and Zhu Xiaoyue getting married?"
Li Xiaoyao felt his head go blank, "No, it’s not..."
"Oh... bang bang bang!"
Ye Qinglian had just responded when suddenly, a burst of gunshot sounds ca through the phone.
