บท 58: Chapter 20.3 - Officer, this is a misunderstanding

Moments later, Li XinWen found himself in the backseat of a taxi. The driver kept on glancing back at the rearview mirror, looking at him worriedly. Li XinWen saw this and had to ask, "Is there something wrong with my face?"

"No! No! Nothing's wrong! Just... um... that's it! Your eyes look pretty!" the driver answered in a panicked tone.

Li XinWen raised an eyebrow before lifting his hand to touch the sunglasses he was wearing. 'Weird... I still have this on so why is he saying that my eyes look pretty?' Li XinWen couldn't help wondering.

On the other hand, the driver gripped the steering wheel tightly. His mind was in a mess while his heart was filled with fear. 'This guy is not some gang member, right? The place he's going to... isn't that one of the underground organization's turf?'

With one person misunderstanding, and the other oblivious, the entire trip to Li XinWen's destination could only be described as awkward. Whenever Li XinWen tried to strike up a conversation, the driver would answer but Li XinWen could see that the driver became increasingly anxious and uncomfortable, each time avoiding his question like the plague.

Half an hour later, the taxi finally came to a stop and Li XinWen got out after paying. A huge building stood before him with a sign saying: "Hundred Treasures Antique Shop".

The shop building stood out from the rest of the surrounding establishments. The area was mostly occupied by smaller buildings, a convenience store, a book shop, a couple of cafes, a laundromat and a quaint little restaurant. The shops were designed with modern and contemporary architecture while the antique shop building gave off a retro feel to it. Like traveling back in time.

Below the sign was a ceramic tiled roof which served as an awning above the entrance. It was intricately designed, and the door was framed with wooden posts.

'Interesting contrast,' Li XinWen observed. "Looks like this is the place…" Li XinWen muttered to himself before taking a step forward.

Just then, Lan Yu started sending warm streams of spiritual energy but perhaps due to its excitement, the supposedly warm streams became increasingly hot to such a degree that Li XinWen ended up hissing.

'Calm down! I know parts of you are in there…' Li XinWen scolded LanYu in his mind and only then did the jade calm down.

Li XinWen was just about to take another step forward when he realized the spiritual energy around him shifted. He knew this was LanYu's doing and under its guidance, the spiritual energies gathered and formed a trail. 'You want me to follow this spiritual trail?' he asked and LanYu responded by sending out another stream of warmth towards Li XinWen. 'Alright. Let's see where you're leading me.'

Following the trail, Li XinWen found himself walking towards the alley at the back of the building. The trail led him deeper until he reached the area where trash was being dumped. Don't think that just because it's a dumpster, it would look and smell disgusting. Unexpectedly, the dumpsters were clean and properly organized. Li XinWen continued to follow the trail that LanYu made until he found himself standing before a black plastic bag. 'In here?' he asked, before he reached out with his spiritual sense. Sure enough, there were small bits of jade within the plastic. Left with no other choice, Li XinWen ripped the plastic and began his search.

While he was searching, he noticed someone approaching him from behind. Thinking that it might just be someone wanting to throw some trash, he ignored it. That was until he felt the hostility emanating from the other person. Li XinWen quickly stood up and turned to face the individual. The person who was approaching him suddenly stopped and pointed a gun at Li XinWen.

"Don't move! Raise your hands! Palms open!" the man dressed as a police officer held the gun steadily.

"Sir, I believe that there seems to be some kind of misunderstanding." Li XinWen said as he raised his hands, not wanting to cause any unnecessary problems.

"Keep quiet and cooperate! Turn around now!"

Li XinWen sighed and turned around, still with both hands raised. He could hear the footsteps of the approaching officer and not long after, his hands were roughly pulled from behind and cuffed. "Sir, this is an... unlawful arrest... " Li XinWen stated with a slight hesitation. He himself wasn't sure if that was right. He only remembered that there was once a scene in one of the original Li XinWen's drama where he acted as a lawyer and had to defend a person who was arrested unlawfully.

"Someone from the underground organization is actually talking about the law?" the police officer scoffed. "Guys like you keep bending the laws to your liking and to get away with a lot of s#*&, so how is this unlawful?" the officer continued.

"Officer there seems to be a mistake, I—"

"Shut up punk! Keep your mouth shut before I charge you even further," the police officer cut Li XinWen off and became rougher. At that point, Li XinWen knew that he had indeed been misunderstood

'Seems that there's nothing else I can do... I can only knock him out and erase his memories,' he thought. But just as he was about to exert some effort to break the handcuffs, a cold voice sounded behind them.

"This is not a place for you to be hanging about, officer. Let that man go and leave, otherwise don't blame me if you're out of job the next day."

Today is the 28th of November and it's Thanksgiving, right? I don't know if any of my readers are celebrating Thanksgiving, but here is an extra chapter for this week!

Enjoy!

I also have a character illustration for Li XinWen coming up soon because there was an event in another platform and I managed to get the required amount of inks and I had to do my part by revealing it lol.

When the artist has finished with it, I'll be sure to update you guys! I'll create a discord server to share it so keep an eye on it!

บท 59: Chapter 21.1 - Do not insult my mother

'Xue Rui? No... then who?' the voice sounded very familiar to Li XinWen but at the same time, he knew something was off. The spiritual signature that came from the new person was different from Xue Rui's. Li XinWen turned around and saw the man. The similarity between the man and Xue Rui was truly uncanny. If Li XinWen did not have the ability to detect a spiritual signature, he himself would've thought that this was Xue Rui.

"And you are?" the officer from before asked the newcomer, not hiding the disdain from his voice.

"Me? I am a man who can simply end your career with a snap of my finger. Would you like to make a bet?" the man answered with a bored expression. "I will count to three, Officer Duan. If you don't let him go and scram, then you can start thinking of a way to put rice on your family's table."

"Is that supposed to be a threat? Should I cower and hide? And how do you actually know my name?" the officer roared, his chest heaved up and his eyes were glaring daggers at the man.

"No. I am only 'advising' you," the man calmly replied, emphasizing the word 'advise' heavily.

Just as the officer was about to say more, the phone in his pocket vibrated. He took it out to see that it was a call from his superior. His superior rarely called him, and this call somehow made him feel a bit suspicious.

"Aren't you going to answer that?" the man asked. "I believe that is from Chief Tao. If you don't answer, you might... get in trouble."

Officer Duan glared in response before answering the phone call. "Hello, chief?"

"Duan Ming... where are you right now?!" the voice of a middle-aged man sounded from the other side. With his level of cultivation, Li XinWen could hear the conversation clearly even though he didn't mean to. From the tone alone, Li XinWen could tell that the person on the other side seems to be worn out.

"Sir, I am at..."

"Hundred Treasure Antique Shop, am I right?"

"Yes, sir."

"Officer Duan Ming... how many times have I told you that you are not to stick up your nose where it doesn't belong! Are you trying to get me in trouble?! Pull out now!"

The call was cut off even before Officer Duan could say anything else. He looked at his phone before letting out a series of colourful curses under his breath. Taking out a key from his pocket, he then uncuffed Li XinWen's wrists. "Well, well, aren't you one lucky son of a bitch!"

At first, Li XinWen was just going to let the officer go for his misunderstanding but upon hearing the comment, his mood suddenly turned sour. He grabbed Officer Duan's arm who was just about to leave. "Apologize."

It was just a single word, but Officer Duan felt the pressure pressing down on him. He started to sweat, feeling threatened by Li XinWen's demeanor. He didn't expect the man he had cuffed earlier could appear this scary.

"W-Why should I apologize to someone like you?! I am an officer of the law! I serve the people and the country, protecting them from the likes of you!" Officer Duan said, trying to sound as if he wasn't intimidated.

"Officer, I don't care if you misunderstand me or even insult me. But I will not stand for it if you insult my mother. Apologize now and I will let you off. If not, then do not blame me if I become ruthless..." Li XinWen's hold around Officer Duan's arm tightened and Officer Duan felt that if this continues, his bones would be crushed.

"Bah! Fine, I apologize. And I also feel sorry for your mother for having such a useless son like you! Did you ever think of how she would feel if she finds out that her son has dealings with the underworld?!"

Hearing the apology, Li XinWen released Officer Duan's arm even though it was not as sincere as he was expecting. "You do not have to worry, officer. My mother is very happy to have such a capable son. She has a loving family who takes good care of her. Maybe you should worry more about your own family... that man's expression didn't look good. You might end up losing your job," as Li XinWen said this, he glanced over to the man who looked like Xue Rui. The officer clicked his tongue before he left in a hurry, leaving Li XinWen and the other person alone.

Notice the chapter number change? I decided to use the original document chapters from here on out to avoid confusion. I mean, this is contracted with WN so I need it to be 2 chapters in advance compared to other platforms. I will also be editing the previous chapters' titles slowly.

Also, in January 2020, I will be having a trip to China. It is a school trip, but the problem is, I'm lacking funds for *cough* shopping. So, I am wondering if anyone is willing to do a deal with me. I have a Ko-Fi account at https://ko-fi.com/traita and I already set up a goal there. If the goal is reached by 25th December, I'm willing to do a daily update for a month for February 2020. If my editor is quick, I should be able to make it for January 2020.
