Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

Lan Cai said, "Wait there for me, I’m on my way."

After hanging up the phone, Lan Cai hurriedly got out of bed, but having played a bit too hard, her legs felt weak, and she momentarily lost her balance, staggering before she managed to stand up.

Lin Yuanyuan asked, "What’s wrong?"

Lan Cai said, "There’s some trouble at the company, I have to go."

Driven by curiosity and after getting the details, Lin Yuanyuan said, "Feiyang Real Estate’s Long Family? I think I’ve heard of them, just a small company, do you really need to go yourself?"

In Ling City, Feiyang Real Estate was a major taxpayer, but compared to Lin Yuanyuan’s family, it indeed was nothing but a small fry.

Lan Cai said, "I’m worried they might face retaliation, I need to go pick them up. Tomorrow I’ll find someone to handle this."

"I’ll come with you. What if something happens to you when you’re alone? You don’t even have a bodyguard by your side." Lin Yuanyuan was genuinely concerned for her best friend and knew that Lan Cai disliked hiring bodyguards. Although Ling City was safe on the surface, no one would care about her status if something actually happened.

...

Li Xiaoyao returned the phone to Zhuo Yi, "Just wait a bit, Director Lan will be here soon."

Knowing that Director Lan was coming in person, both women were a bit surprised. However, they also knew that Lan Cai was actually a warm person beneath her cool exterior.

Li Xiaoyao felt that it was only right for Lan Cai to come in person since Zhuo Yi and Zhang Meng were injured for the sake of the company. As the chairwoman, if Lan Cai didn’t even show her face at this time, it would truly be disheartening and unacceptable.

Zhu Xiaoyue spent over half an hour sitting with the three in the interrogation room, during which the girls chatted and hit it off surprisingly well.

"I know there’s a great hotpot restaurant at Xinjie Mouth; let’s go together next time," Zhang Meng suggested with the expression of a foodie, seemingly having forgotten she was in an interrogation room.

Zhuo Yi’s phone rang; it was a call from Lan Cai.

"Hello, Director Lan, yes, we’re in the interrogation room. Okay, we’re coming out now." After hanging up, Zhuo Yi said, "Director Lan is here."

Li Xiaoyao stood up and said with a smile to Zhu Xiaoyue, "Officer Zhu, we’ll be leaving now."

Zhu Xiaoyue gave him a glance and huffed, then said to the two women, "I’ll walk you out."

Great, the well-endowed policewoman completely ignored him.

As they were leaving the interrogation room, Dong Haoran was heading their way, stumbling oddly as he walked.

Seeing Li Xiaoyao, Dong Haoran glared at him angrily, "You dare to hit me!"

As he said that, Dong Haoran raised his fists and rushed forward.

Zhu Xiaoyue moved quickly, standing in front of Li Xiaoyao, and stared down Dong Haoran with a displeased face, "Dong Haoran, what do you think you’re doing?"

"Xiaoyue, step aside. This kid hit me; he assaulted an officer!" Dong Haoran shouted angrily.

Zhu Xiaoyue frowned and said, "Think before you speak, there’s surveillance in the interrogation room."

Dong Haoran was taken aback for a moment, then glared at Li Xiaoyao through gritted teeth, "Kid, one day you’ll end up in my hands."

Li Xiaoyao kept his hands in his pockets, smiled, and said, "Officer, are you threatening me? Be careful, or I might file a complaint against you."

"Damn!" Dong Haoran couldn’t stand Li Xiaoyao’s nonchalant attitude, but he knew he couldn’t teach him a lesson today, so he just pointed at Li Xiaoyao in the air and then turned and left.

"Ignore him, let’s go," Zhu Xiaoyue led the three of them out of the police station.

As they exited the main entrance of the police station, they saw two black Land Rovers parked outside, with Lan Cai and Lin Yuanyuan standing at the door, flanked by four tall and sturdy bodyguards.

Zhu Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment before looking back at the two women. Zhuo Yi took the initiative to introduce, "This is our company’s chairman, Director Lan, and this is Officer Zhu."

In the presence of outsiders, Lan Cai resumed her usual stern expression, but now she offered Zhu Xiaoyue a slight smile and extended her hand to shake Zhu’s, saying, "Hello, Officer Zhu, thank you for your assistance with today’s issues."

"No need to mention it, it’s all part of our job."

After the pleasantries, Lan Cai told Zhuo Yi and Zhang Meng to get into the car.

Li Xiaoyao, who had been standing by, noticed that Lin Yuanyuan was staring at him nonstop, and what was most important was that the look in her eyes seemed somewhat lecherous.

Feeling uncomfortable with her gaze, Li Xiaoyao directly asked, "Hey, beauty, what are you staring at? Do you want to see me strip?"

Far from getting angry, Lin Yuanyuan continued to stare at Li Xiaoyao with a grin, "Yeah, I do want to see what you look like underneath those clothes. Why don’t you strip for mommy to have a look?"

Li Xiaoyao replied, "My body is for women to see only."

Lin Yuanyuan was taken aback for a moment but then became furious, "You bastard, are you saying I’m not a woman?"

Li Xiaoyao spread his hands, "I didn’t say that, you said it yourself."

"Bastard, bastard!" Lin Yuanyuan pointed at one of the bodyguards, giving an order, "Number Three, beat him up for me. Let this jerk know whether mommy is a woman or not."

Li Xiaoyao looked at her chest and butt and said, "If you want me to find out whether you’re a woman or not, all it takes is a try."

Number Three walked up to Li Xiaoyao, a cold and emotionless expression on his face, and reached out to grab Li Xiaoyao’s head.

Lan Cai wanted to intervene but it was too late; she watched Li Xiaoyao with concern and with a hint of reproach said, "Yuanyuan, tell your bodyguard to stop."

Lin Yuanyuan snorted and lifted her chin, "He brought it on himself by saying I’m not a woman. I’m going to teach him a lesson."

With a helpless sigh, Lan Cai could only pray that Li Xiaoyao wouldn’t be hurt too badly.

Li Xiaoyao didn’t take the bodyguard seriously at all. Despite the bodyguard’s strong physique, Li Xiaoyao could knock him down with just a flick of his finger if he really wanted to fight.

However, before Li Xiaoyao could make a move, Zhu Xiaoyue suddenly let out a soft shout, drew her gun from her waist, pointed it at the bodyguard, and commanded, "Step back, or I’ll shoot!"

With Zhu Xiaoyue’s gun drawn, everyone at the scene froze.

Even Li Xiaoyao was startled by Zhu Xiaoyue’s action of drawing her gun.

"This is a police station, not a bar strip. If you want to fight, go home and do it. Dare to cause trouble in my jurisdiction, and I’ll shoot you dead without anyone to claim your body!" Zhu Xiaoyue spoke very rudely, and her angry tone immediately subdued the group.

Listening to Zhu Xiaoyue’s words, Li Xiaoyao felt a hint of warmth in his heart; although the woman spoke harshly, he knew she had drawn her gun to protect him.

Lin Yuanyuan hadn’t expected the policewoman to draw a gun and was at a loss about how to resolve the situation.

As for Lan Cai, relieved that someone had stopped the bodyguard, she breathed a sigh of relief, called off the bodyguard, and then said to Li Xiaoyao, "Come with me."

Li Xiaoyao shook his head and was about to decline when Zhu Xiaoyue suddenly walked past him and headed towards a car across the street, saying, "Come with me."

Lan Cai frowned, sensing that this policewoman seemed to be deliberately targeting her.

Or, rather, she was too concerned about Li Xiaoyao.

"Director Lan, please take good care of Zhuo Yi and Zhang Meng. I won’t be going back with you," Li Xiaoyao said before following Zhu Xiaoyue.
