The big shot is trending on social media every day.

Chapter 82 Feng Xiao protects Bai Jiu?

The dialog box remained silent for a long time before responding.

Cheng Sijun seemed to have calmed down and asked again, as if seeking confirmation: "Is it Master Xiao?"

Jiang Li typed on the keyboard: 【Hmm.】

Cheng Sijun: 【！！！】

At that moment, Jiang Li's phone screen suddenly switched to the incoming call display.

It was a phone call from Rong Xiu.

"Lili." As soon as the call connected, Rong Xiu's voice came from the other end: "Where are you?"

Jiang Li, his temper temper subdued, spoke to Rong Xiu with a hint of respect: "Please speak your mind."

Rong Xiu's tone was gentle and kind: "If you don't have any plans for tonight, would you like to have dinner with this old woman?"

“I have an appointment with Xu Chuang tonight, another day…” Jiang Li hadn’t finished speaking when she suddenly felt a slight stinging pain in her arm.

She glanced at it with a cool look in her eyes.

Qin Yexiao held the cotton swab, blew on her wound, looked up at her, and asked in a low, affectionate voice, "Does it hurt? Shall I be gentler?"

Jiang Li narrowed her eyes: "..."

Over there, Rong Xiu was taken aback and immediately sensed something was amiss: "Lili, who are you with?"

Jiang Li hadn't spoken yet.

Rong Xiu seemed to recognize the owner of the voice and asked hesitantly, "Qin Yexiao?"

The man's voice was steady and sharp, like winter snow or a cold spring pool, carrying an aloof and indifferent feeling, making it highly recognizable.

Rong Xiu could tell that Jiang Li wasn't surprised.

Her cold, elegant features were filled with annoyance and irritation. She stared at the man in front of her who was feigning concern for her, and gave a soft "hmm" to the person on the other end of the phone.

The call ended in silence.

A few seconds later, Rong Xiu cleared her throat, seemingly a little embarrassed: "Although the social atmosphere is more open now, it's still better to be a little more careful in broad daylight."

"?"

Jiang Li frowned slightly: "I..."

“However,” Rong Xiu interrupted her, her tone shifting to a more casual tone, “I understand that you young people are full of vigor and passion.”

The sound of the phone call leaked out, and Qin Yexiao heard it, his thin lips curving into a smile.

Jiang Li pursed her lips and said earnestly, "Please let me explain."

"Alright, you don't need to explain anymore, I understand." Rong Xiu said with an attitude that suggested she was an experienced person and that people shouldn't be embarrassed.

Jiang Li: "..."

Rong Xiu thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you two come together, and invite Xu Chuang and A Qing as well. It'll be more lively with more people. I'll decide what you want to eat and where to go."

Qin Yexiao applied the medicine to Jiang Li, threw the cotton swab into the trash can, and said, "I'll arrange the place. I'll have someone pick you up at six o'clock."

“Okay.” Rong Xiu agreed, then said in a teasing tone, “Then I won’t bother you anymore, see you tonight.”

Jiang Li: "..."

Her eyes swept towards Qin Yexiao, her gaze dark and cold, her pupils slightly contracted.

The urge to kill resurfaced.

***
The local government designated Yunshang Pavilion.

Qin Yichen, Shen Yu, and Qin Lin came over first.

The three of them got out of the car.

Then two dirty SUVs covered in dust and mud suddenly burst into view, their tires scraping the ground, their bodies swaying rapidly as they arrogantly reversed into the parking space and came to a stop simultaneously.

Due to inertia, the car body pressed heavily forward before returning to normal.

Yunshang Pavilion is a place where powerful and influential people come and go every day.

Aside from the Narcotics Control Bureau, no one dares to be so arrogant.

But the moment Xu Zhenghua got out of the driver's seat, Qin Yichen and the other two suddenly fell silent.

They thought it was Xu Chuang who could drive so recklessly, but they never expected it to be Xu Zhenghua, who was over fifty years old...

Qin Yichen gave him a thumbs-up in admiration: "Director Xu is indeed impressive; he's still going strong despite his age."

Xu Zhenghua's rugged and serious face remained stern and unapproachable, his eyes haughty and indifferent: "Young Master Qin is too kind."

Qin Yichen: "..."

Xu Chuang, Song Qing, and several anti-drug bureau elites from another car also got out and nodded to Qin Yichen and the others.

Then the group walked straight into the Cloud Pavilion.

Xu Zhenghua, the head of the Narcotics Control Bureau, is known for his iron-fisted and impartial law enforcement, as well as his cold and ruthless attitude towards people. Consequently, his subordinates are also devoid of any human touch and are as cold as ice.

Qin Lin lowered his voice slightly: "I wonder who the big boss behind Xu Zhenghua is, that allows their entire anti-drug bureau to act with impunity in Beijing."

They don't even respect them.

Shen Yu raised an eyebrow; he was also quite interested in the bigwig behind the Narcotics Control Bureau.

However, the Narcotics Control Bureau is a tightly knit and impenetrable force, and it also protects its own members, so their influence cannot penetrate it, and they have no intelligence whatsoever.

Most importantly, the backgrounds of those who can get into the Narcotics Control Bureau are all a mystery. Their backgrounds are all clean, and their personal information has been completely erased, making them impossible to trace.

Do it.

Firstly, it was to protect their personal safety and prevent drug lords from retaliating against their families.

Secondly, it was to prevent internal information from being leaked, giving other forces a loophole that could threaten the entire anti-drug bureau.

Qin Yichen and his two companions did not linger at the entrance and stepped into Yunshang Pavilion.

The waiter pushed open the door to the private room.

Rong Xiu has arrived.

Xu Zhenghua was exchanging pleasantries with her. After the group greeted each other, they took their seats.

Qin Yichen pulled out the chair next to Song Qing, sat down in a cocky manner, stretched out one leg, put his arm on the table, and exuded a cynical and irreverent air.

He was a complete wastrel who did nothing productive.

Song Qing lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and subtly pulled Qin Yichen to the side, creating distance between them.

Qin Yichen noticed it out of the corner of his eye and turned his gaze over.

They saw Song Qing and wanted to avoid him as much as possible, as if he carried some kind of virus.

He narrowed his eyes, chuckled, and leaned to the side, propping his chin on his hand as he looked at her: "Your name is, A-Qing?"

Song Qing lowered her head, her face mostly hidden by her hair, with only her slightly fluttering eyelashes visible.

She whispered, "Song Qing."

"Okay, Song Qing." Qin Yichen nodded, glancing at the slap mark on her face. His usually arrogant tone softened instinctively: "Were you scared yesterday?"

Without his brother, the Wen and Du families would not have let Jiang Li and Song Qing off the hook.

It's understandable that Song Qing was afraid.

“There’s nothing to be afraid of,” Song Qing said in a cold and indifferent voice.

Qin Yichen's impression of Song Qing was that she looked gentle and weak, but there was a sense of distance that made her difficult to approach.

He said, "Being bullied is nothing to be afraid of, but how you treat me is something to be avoided like the plague."

Song Qing glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Qin Yichen leaned slightly forward, bringing his head close to hers, his eyebrows slightly raised: "You need to learn from Jiang Li. If someone hits you, you should hit them back on the spot."

Song Qing remained silent and did not respond.

At this moment, Xu Chuang, who was on the other side of Song Qing, suddenly stood up: "Qing, let's switch seats."

Song Qing nodded.

So Qin Yichen watched as Xu Chuang, with his sword drawn and his horse swaying, sat down next to him, separating him from Song Qing, and gave him a very wary look.

Qin Yichen: "..."

What did he do that made you treat him like a wolf?

baffling.

Rong Xiu asked Xu Chuang, "When will Lili arrive?"

"We agreed on seven o'clock." Xu Chuang glanced down at his watch; it was 6:55. He said, "We should be there soon."

This guy just loves to take his time and be on time.

Every second was calculated perfectly.

Qin Lin thought of his boss, Xiao Ye, picking up Jiang Li, and took out his phone to complain to Qin Shan.

I don't understand, what does Master Xiao see in Jiang Li?

[Jiang Li might have some connection to the Narcotics Control Bureau, but at most she's just a small-time undercover agent. It's impossible for us to infiltrate the Bureau through her.]

How much could she possibly know about the Narcotics Control Bureau?

[If Master Xiao really wants to find a breakthrough through women, he might as well go after Bai Zhi. At least she has a high position in the Narcotics Control Bureau, and she can also speak with Interpol and the Five Alliances Avenue. She's also interested in Master Xiao.]

Unlike Jiang Li, who played hard to get with their Master Xiao.

What Qin Lin didn't know was that Jiang Li wasn't playing hard to get; she genuinely wanted Qin Yexiao to stay as far away from her as possible.

Looking at all these messages, Qin Shan could feel Qin Lin's disdain and resentment towards Jiang Li even through the screen.

He replied: "If you dislike Jiang Li so much, why did you go and crash the dinner?"

Qin Lin: [I was just bored, so I came to see what it was about this woman that caught the attention of our woman-averse and abstinent Master Xiao.]

Qin Shan: [...]

Qin Shan: [You better be discerning. If Brother Xiao finds out what you're thinking, don't blame me for not warning you—you'll be sent to the frontier to do manual labor.]

Qin Lin: [Okay, okay, I'm not that stupid.]

Not long after.

The box door was pushed open.

Qin Yexiao and Jiang Li appeared at the door, both wearing black masks.

Qin Lin saw Jiang Li, but only for a second before looking away.

Even though he was trying to control himself, you could still tell he was disdainful of Jiang.

Xu Zhenghua was chatting with Rong Xiu when, before he could finish a sentence, he suddenly stood up, looked towards the door, and went to greet her: "You've arrived."

Xu Chuang and several elites from the Narcotics Control Bureau stood up in unison, their backs ramrod straight. The sound of chairs scraping against the floor was accompanied by a respectful "Master Li" that echoed in the private room.

Jiang Li nodded slightly.

Qin Lin stared at the scene before him, completely stunned in his seat.

What's the situation?
He hadn't forgotten the disdainful looks those people had given them earlier.

But now they're so respectful to Jiang Li?!
Qin Yichen also looked incredulous.

Shen Yu had seen Xu Zhenghua's attitude towards Jiang Li, but he didn't expect Jiang Li to have such a high status among this group of people. He was stunned for a moment.

The three looked at each other, each more bewildered than the last.

Xu Zhenghua pulled out the chair next to him, looked at Jiang Li, and said in a fawning yet respectful manner, "Please sit down."

Qin Yichen and Qin Lin: "..."

Is this Xu Zhenghua, the arrogant and aloof head of the Narcotics Control Bureau who disregards them and acts with impunity in Beijing?
This guy... pulled up a chair for Jiang Li?!

Did they see it wrong?

Thank you for your support.
