The old man was the mayor of Dong Hai Island. His name was Yan Liu. He looked with interest at Guan Peng’s people.
Guan Ping’s words somewhat angered him. He neither cared about Dian Tu’s words nor Guan Peng’s attitude.
He looked at Guan Peng before speaking in a cold voice, “Guan Peng, you can go back to the police station and prepare to be investigated in regard to abuse of power!”
Guan Peng’s face went pale after hearing Yan Liu’s words. He could do nothing but nod.
From what Yan Liu had said, it was enough for him to know that no excuse would help him.
He suddenly wanted to kill Guan Ping. If he had not messed with Bai Chen and Long Xu In in the first place, he would never have been in this situation. With just one phone call from Yan Liu to the Chinese National Police Department, he could lose his position.
Guan Peng was not the only one whose face was pale. Guan Ping’s and Dian Tu’s were too.
Especially Dian Tu. He was only a lieutenant; if there was an investigation, he would surely lose his job too.
But he knew better than to try and change the old man’s mind. He knew that if Yan Liu had made up his mind about something, there was no way he would change it.
“Get your men out of here.” Yan Liu spoke again with the same cold voice.
“Y… yes, sir!” Guan Peng did not dare stay. He hastily dragged Guan Ping and Dian Tu out.
From the look on his face, it seemed like Guan Ping would surely be beaten to death by his brother.
After Guan Peng’s people had left, the captain and the first officer felt relieved. They hurriedly came to make a big show of greeting the mayor of Dong Hai Island. They flew back and forth from Dong Hai Island many times and had the mayor as a passenger on some of the flights. Therefore, it was not unusual that they would know him.
Bai Chen stood there quietly. He had not imagined that Long Xu In could make just one phone call to have the mayor of Dong Hai Island come to deal with this problem.
He knew that Long Xu In’s family was powerful, but he did not know their power was to this extent.
“Hello, Grandpa Liu,” Long Xu In greeted the old man amiably.
“I’m sorry, Xu In, that you came all the way to my place and you had to deal with this nonsense,” the old man named Yan Liu said, his voice ridden with guilt.
The mayor had intended to travel to Beijing to attend an important meeting. He had not expected to receive a call from the Long family to deal with this issue. Coincidentally, he had been at the airport at the time, so he had rushed right over.
Long Xu In only nodded. She said nothing more before taking Bai Chen off the plane.
Yan Liu’s eyes followed the two of them. He laughed out loud.
“I never thought that a young woman of the Long family who is renowned as having never fancied any man before would finally have the first day of spring come to her like everyone else.”
......................................
Half an hour later, Bai Chen and Long Xu In arrived at a vacation home by the sea.
The car was ready for them when they left the plane.
Bai Chen was not at all surprised. For her family, not having a car waiting for her would be unusual.
Moreover, the car that picked them up was the latest model of the lavish brand Mercedes-Benz.
After he got out of the car, Bai Chen adjusted his backpack straps and looked at Long Xu In. She looked at him and said, “We’re here. Follow me.” And then she led the way.
Bai Chen nodded and followed her. Her grandfather’s vacation home was huge and was in a Western style. The sea breeze blew in along with the smell of the ocean nearby.
“The young lady’s bringing a man to see the master. This must be a major issue!”
The driver who drove Bai Chen and Long Xu In here exclaimed this while he stood and watched the two of them walk together towards the house.
Bai Chen followed Long Xu into the front door of the house. It was two interconnected wooden doors.
Even though this vacation home was large and luxurious, he had not felt any surprise from the moment he saw it.
The reason was he had been to Long Xu In’s extravagant home before.
There were two bodyguards in black suits standing on both sides of the door. As soon as Long Xu In reached the door, they bowed.
“Welcome back, my lady!”
“Open the door.” Long Xu In did not care much for their actions. She was used to them.
She had told them many times not to do this, but it was like talking to a wall. Thus, she had stopped paying attention instead.
She entered the house as the bodyguards pushed the doors open.
Bai Chen watched with a relaxed attitude. He thought what was happening in front of him was like the soap operas he sometimes watched after the news.
“What are you doing? Follow me.”
Long Xu In turned back to look at Bai Chen and said this, once she saw him just standing there, not following her inside.
Bai Chen came back to his senses. He looked ahead and saw that Long Xu In had already entered the vacation house. He hurried after her.
The two bodyguards who were standing there looked at Bai Chen. They both had the same thought as the driver from before.
After stepping into the house, Bai Chen’s eyes narrowed. He took a step back and held up his fist before turning back and punching to the side.
Thud!
His fist smacked into someone’s face. The owner of that face was thrown off his feet and fell onto the floor half a meter away.
“Ouch! That hurts!” the owner of the face moaned faintly. He was a young man around 25 to 26 years old with a handsome face. He dressed in a casual outfit—a sleeveless undershirt and a pair of floral print shorts.
“Older brother!” Long Xu In cried out when she saw the young man on the floor with his nose bleeding.
“What happened to you?” Long Xu In asked and hurried in to help him to his feet.
Because she was walking in front, she had not seen Bai Chen punch him.
From the way Long Xu In addressed the young man who had been knocked off his feet, he was definitely her brother.
Long Xu In’s brother was named Long Shen. He wiped the blood from his nose and looked at Bai Chen.
