"Tiannan!"
Seeing that Chu Tiannan was about to take the fall for everyone and be led away by the police, Hai Gaopeng felt both anxious and powerless.
"It's all right, Brother Hai. Trust me!" Before he was taken away, Chu Tiannan turned back and gave Hai Gaopeng a mysterious smile.
"Just act as though I never came to your company!"
With that, the young man in black was forcibly taken away by the police.
"Is Young Master Luo all right?" Old Yuan took the cigarette Butler Li handed him and frowned at Luo Ji, who could no longer move.
"His physique is close to a martial artist's. How did he get hurt this badly?"
"Chu Tiannan..." Luo Ji tried to move, only to discover that his body felt as though it had fallen apart. He could not move at all. Overcome with rage, his vision went black, and he fainted.
"Nothing can happen to the young master..." At the sight, Butler Li called an ambulance in a panic, then said to Old Yuan.
"He's a future martial artist. You have to help with this case, Old Yuan!"
As the captain, Old Yuan naturally understood what he meant.
He nodded slightly and left without saying anything more.
Afterward, Hai Gaopeng and his companions carried Dachengzi away to seek medical treatment in a hurry. As for Chu Tiannan's situation...
Hai Gaopeng had already appealed to the moving company's higher-ups, but unfortunately, they had reached a unanimous decision.
Fire Chu Tiannan!
Clearly, the company wanted to distance itself from Chu Tiannan.
Clearly, the person Chu Tiannan had provoked this time was far beyond what their little moving company could measure up to.
Click!
A dazzling light came on, and the black hood covering Chu Tiannan's head was pulled off. The young man narrowed his eyes.
The entire room was exceedingly bare, with only a camera in the corner turning mechanically.
And the cold handcuffs locked around Chu Tiannan's wrists.
"Talk! Why did you hurt Luo Ji?" One of the police officers sitting across from Chu Tiannan slammed the table and demanded harshly.
Chu Tiannan raised his gaze and calmly looked at the two young officers interrogating him before speaking.
"His bodyguard attacked me first. I had no choice but to fight back."
"You had no choice?" One officer clearly did not believe him and spoke coldly.
"From the Luo family's testimony, we found that you, as movers, deliberately damaged their valuable porcelain. That caused the dispute, and then you even attacked them."
"How do you explain that?"
Hearing this, Chu Tiannan understood. He shook his head slightly and said nothing more.
"Then let them say what they want. Don't waste time. Do whatever needs to be done!"
He knew the Luo family would certainly not let him off easily, but Chu Tiannan also wanted to see.
Just what methods they had.
Unless I have absolutely no other choice, I'd better not reveal my strength as a martial artist. I believe Luo'er has already heard the news.
Chu Tiannan was quite calm. He did not panic over the imprisonment he was about to face.
"Young man, this statement of yours is very unfavorable to you!" Seeing that he had stopped talking, another officer, a steady, composed middle-aged man, said with a frown.
"Do you realize this is effectively an admission of guilt? The villa you targeted belongs to a publicly listed company in the southern district of the base city. The villa's owner is preparing to press charges against you."
"Of course, that's only one part of it. The boy you injured is a martial artist's son. This is more serious than you think."
"Anyone who dares lay a hand on a martial artist's family faces either a death sentence or life imprisonment!"
Chu Tiannan frowned at that. He had indeed overlooked the fact that Luo Ji's father was a martial artist.
But that was all. Chu Tiannan remained quite composed. After all, he was fully confident that he could turn things around.
"It looks like you're ready to accept it, then?" Seeing this, one of the young officers assumed that Chu Tiannan had given up on himself after learning he had provoked a martial artist's family.
Clang!
The iron door slammed shut. Alone in the quiet little room, Chu Tiannan looked around the dim surroundings, then lay down on the bed.
I don't want to spend the rest of my life in a place like this! The corners of his mouth lifted slightly. What occupied Chu Tiannan's thoughts now was how to let the outside world know he possessed the strength of a martial artist.
Three days later, inside an upscale restaurant.
Sitting at the dining table, Luo Ji poured wine for another young man and said with a smile.
"Brother Qing, I'm counting on you for this. I'll be sure to reward you generously."
The young man, who looked utterly unruly, savored his wine and nodded.
"Of course I'll help you out, Brother Luo. Leave this to me. Killing him isn't an option, but crippling him is!"
"Then I'll await your good news!"
After seeing the young man off, Luo Ji sampled the expensive fruit wine alone in the room, his eyes filled with resentment.
As an advanced student, he had been utterly unable to fight back against Chu Tiannan. To Luo Ji...
It was nothing short of humiliation!
That was why he wanted to use this opportunity to cripple Chu Tiannan for good. After all, they had already made enemies of each other.
If Chu Tiannan broke through to become a martial artist before he did one day, things would become difficult.
Setting down his glass gently, Luo Ji stood up, sneering.
"Chu Tiannan, oh, Chu Tiannan. Let's see how you fight me this time!"
