Back on Earth, I am the only cultivator.

Wu Xi glanced at the three people who were still silent on the ground, then at her brother, her little face filled with guilt and self-blame.

"Brother, the police are here. You hit someone, won't you go to jail?"

As she spoke, the tears she had managed to hold back welled up in her eyes again, and she instinctively gripped Wu Fan's sleeve tightly.

"I'm sorry, brother... It's all my fault, I've caused you trouble again... Waaah."

Hearing his sister's words, Wu Fan felt a pang of sadness. He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on his sister's face with his fingertips.

"Silly girl, what are you saying?"

"I'll be alright, I'll protect you for the rest of my life! Don't be afraid."

After saying that, he affectionately patted his sister's head, then let go of her and turned to walk towards the three thugs who were slumped on the ground.

Wu Xi watched her brother's actions with curiosity. He squatted down, extended his index finger, and gently stroked the heads of the three thugs.

What she didn't know was that the wound that Wu Fan had pierced with his finger and was oozing tiny bloodstains was healing rapidly, without leaving a trace of blood.

Wiping away the bloodstains was just something I did on a whim.

What we really need to do is plant the mark of a "puppet".

From then on, these three bodies were nothing more than walking corpses that Wu Fan could control with a single thought, devoid of any self-awareness whatsoever.

Although Wu Xi couldn't understand what her brother was doing, she could feel that the reassuring aura emanating from him was growing stronger.

She didn't ask any more questions, but just stood quietly to the side, her inexplicable trust transcending all logic and common sense.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from the stairwell outside the door.

Soon, two uniformed police officers walked in one after the other.

When they saw the dented security door and the people in the living room, especially the three burly men lying on the floor, the two police officers frowned deeply.

Experience tells them that this is by no means an ordinary dispute, and may have escalated to the level of a criminal case!

"Who called the police?" The older police officer in the lead asked, his eyes flashing as he quickly scanned the entire scene, his voice steady and powerful.

Startled by the scene, Wu Xi shrank back, timidly raised her hand, and whispered, "...Me."

The older police officer's gaze fell on Wu Xi. Seeing her obviously torn collar and swollen cheeks, his eyes softened for a moment, but then sharpened again.

His gaze swept around the messy living room, finally settling on Wu Fan.

"Did you hit these three people?"

"Yes." Wu Fan simply replied with a single word.

Do you know the consequences of fighting?

Another, younger police officer couldn't help but speak up, his tone carrying a hint of reprimand.

"Young man, don't be so hot-blooded! Winning a fight means jail, losing means hospitalization—don't you understand that?"

Upon hearing the words "go to jail," Wu Xi's face turned deathly pale. She looked at Wu Fan with worry in her eyes, and the guilt she had managed to suppress welled up again.

However, Wu Fan seemed not to hear the young policeman's words, and simply snorted coldly, "Only the weak have to follow the rules."

The young policeman was choked and his face turned red. He pointed at Wu Fan, and the word "you" trembled on his lips for a long time, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

This kid... he's too arrogant! He's completely lawless!

The older police officer felt a chill run down his spine. In Wu Fan's calm and unwavering eyes, he saw a composure and indifference far beyond his years—an absolute confidence that regarded all living beings as ants and rules as nothing.

He had only ever seen that look in the eyes of those truly powerful figures who wielded immense authority.

He suppressed his surprise and decided not to argue with Wu Fan for the time being. He turned to the young policeman and winked at him, saying in a deep voice, "Xiao Li, check on the injured person's condition first."

"Yes, Brother Liu."

Young police officer Xiao Li responded, suppressing his anger, and walked towards Brother Biao, who was closest to him, to check his breathing and pulse.

But just as his hand was about to touch Brother Biao's body,

A glint flashed in Wu Fan's eyes, and he activated the Puppet Technique!

Suddenly, Brother Biao, who had been lying on the ground like a dead dog, and his two henchmen trembled and slowly got up from the ground!

Holy crap!

Young police officer Xiao Li was startled. He let out a strange cry and jumped back several steps, his hand even instinctively reaching for the baton at his waist, his face full of vigilance.

The older Officer Liu's pupils also constricted, but his experience allowed him to quickly regain his composure, and he shouted sternly, "Don't move! Police officer!"

He stared intently at the three people who slowly stood up, carefully observing their expressions.

Dull, listless, with empty, lifeless eyes, like a puppet whose soul has been taken away.

When his gaze fell on the face of the leader, Brother Biao, Officer Liu's heart sank.

Wang Biao! Why is it that same stubborn mule again!

He glanced at Wu Fan and his sister subconsciously, a hint of undisguised sympathy in his eyes.

Wang Biao, nicknamed "Brother Biao," is an old acquaintance of the Chengxi Police Station. He's been involved in fights, brawls, provoking trouble, and illegal debt collection... His files are stacked up to be thicker than bricks.

But this guy is slippery; every time he's arrested, it doesn't take long before he gets a phone call from above.

Or he could simply carry a so-called "victim's letter of understanding" and walk out as if nothing had happened.

Those who had a grudge against him often met a terrible end, ranging from losing everything to having their hands or feet broken, and ultimately being forced to sign a humiliating letter of understanding under duress and inducement.

Officer Liu even suspected that Wang Biao had a powerful figure protecting him.

"Wang Biao!" Officer Liu barked at him in a stern voice, "It's you again! Come back to the station with us!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Biao nodded blankly, without any reaction.

This struck Officer Liu as odd; Wang Biao seemed like a completely different person.

In the past, whenever this guy saw the police, he was always all smiles and grins, treating the station like his own home.

Why are you being so obedient like a puppet today?

But then he thought, maybe he'd been knocked senseless by this young man in front of him?

Officer Liu shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and turned to Wu Fan and his sister, saying, "You two, come with us to the station to give your statements."

Rest assured, our police will never wrong an innocent person when handling cases…

At this point, he glanced meaningfully at the composed Wu Fan, then changed the subject, emphasizing his words:

"...and we will never let a single bad person get away with it!"

Wu Xi's small hands clenched tightly again in nervousness.

Wu Fan gently patted the back of her hand, met Officer Liu's gaze, and smiled calmly.

"Cooperating with the police investigation is a citizen's duty, and we will naturally cooperate."

He paused, then changed the subject, his gaze sweeping over the dilapidated security door and the mess in the room, his voice suddenly turning cold:

"However, I must get them to compensate me for every penny of the house repair costs and my sister's emotional distress."

After saying that, he ignored the police, lowered his head, and softly said to his younger sister in his arms, "Xiao Xi, it's okay, let's go, your brother is here."

"Um!"

Wu Xi nodded obediently.

That familiar "I'm here with you" was like a warm torrent, instantly dispelling all the fear and unease in her heart.

She reached out her little hand and grabbed her brother's arm tightly, as if she were holding onto the whole world.

And so, accompanied by two policemen and three "puppets," Wu Fan, holding Wu Xi's hand, walked down the stairs step by step and got into the police car together.
