103: Chapter 103: The Savior Arrives!

Watching the shore approaching, not only Xu Qianli and Wu Kai but everyone on this trip had their hearts in their throats.

The guns were all loaded, ready for a tough fight.

The enemy had laid a trap, but they had no intention of surrendering without a fight.

It was all about whether they could break through.

Finally, the sand transport ship docked, and a crowd immediately surrounded the landing, trying to rush aboard.

Wu Kai fired a warning shot, the bullet striking in front of the crowd, forcing them to halt their advance.

Unfortunately, it led to the others revealing their guns as well, resulting in a standoff.

Both parties had guns, but the enemy had the numerical advantage, putting Xu Qianli’s side at a severe disadvantage.

They didn’t know what to do for a moment.

Just at the critical moment, a piercing siren tore through the sky.

Accompanying the siren, dozens of police cars rushed onto the dock.

Two or three hundred SWAT officers got out and swiftly controlled the opposing forces.

Xu Qianli breathed a sigh of relief, surely Zi Yumo had used her influence to get these people here to help.

Thank heavens and that fierce beauty.

We finally made it through a peril.

Wu Kai also relaxed and nudged Xu Qianli in the chest with his elbow, whispering, “You were in touch with Sister Zi before, right?

Be honest with me.

You wouldn’t already have something going on with her, would you?

You two don’t actually have a thing?”

Xu Qianli blurted out, “Hell no, with that kind of violent chick, who would want to mess with her?

I want to live a few more years.”

“Xu Qianli, am I really that violent?”

Suddenly, Zi Yumo’s cold voice, clearly tinged with anger, rang out.

Xu Qianli jumped with fright and quickly turned to look, just to see Zi Yumo boarding the ship, wearing a raincoat.

Damn it, how did this fierce woman get here?

Wasn’t she in Jiang City?

How did she end up here?

Before Xu Qianli could figure it out, a sharp pain hit his stomach.

He had taken a real punch from Zi Yumo, and the pain nearly knocked him unconscious.

Not satisfied with just a punch, Zi Yumo fiercely stepped on Xu Qianli’s foot.

“You asshole, I came immediately with a team to rescue you.”

“And you, you’re bad-mouthing me behind my back!”

“What now, do you really think I’m that violent?

Tell me, do you?”

“If you don’t admit it, I’ll beat you to death!”

Amidst the severe pain, Xu Qianli squeezed out a forced smile and said with a grin, “Beauty, you’re not violent…

not violent at all.

I think you’re like a tigress reincarnated, born to be a tough girl.

The word ‘violent’ isn’t rough enough to describe you!

With the way you are, it’s no wonder you’re still single.

I bet you’ll be single all your life!”

Heroes can’t be brought low.

So what if he couldn’t beat her?

Xu Qianli wasn’t intimidated, his mouth was as sharp as ever.

“You!”

Zi Yumo, enraged, kicked up her leg to aim at Xu Qianli’s head.

Xu Qianli was prepared and quickly ducked to dodge.

He caught a glimpse of something that left him dumbstruck.

Heavens, purple lace – underneath that cold exterior, this violent woman had a wildly passionate heart, so tempting.

Before Zi Yumo could continue her onslaught on Xu Qianli, a SWAT officer hurried over.

“We’ve already investigated.

These people claim to be from Linhe County’s anti-smuggling team.

They say they received a tip that a large shipment of cigarettes was being smuggled through this dock.

It was all a misunderstanding.”

Hearing this, Zi Yumo gave a secret chuckle.

An anti-smuggling team investigating smuggling, what a coincidence?

Xu Qianli said, “I know what you’re thinking, but the most important thing right now is getting back to Jiang City!”

Zi Yumo nodded and raised her hand, “Follow me.”

And so, Xu Qianli and his party of seven cars disembarked from the ship and, under the escort of Linjiang County’s special police force led by Zi Yumo, made their way to Jiang City without encountering any danger along the way.

By the time they returned to Jiang City, before Xu Qianli could catch his breath, he was dragged over by Zi Yumo and severely reprimanded.

Zi Yumo was truly livid.

This guy wasn’t even from the public security system, yet he took advantage of a rainy night to take a squad from the Jiang City Criminal Police Team to arrest someone in Zhongzhou City, and it happened to be Lu Xingtian’s nephew, causing such a huge commotion.

If it weren’t for the fact that she had been on her way to the city for business and had received a call from Xu Qianli, who had a stroke of inspiration and rushed to the Linjiang County special police force to request backup, there might have been several lives lost by now.

Anyway, Xu Qianli’s actions were too reckless.

With such a character, Zi Yumo was not optimistic about him at all.

How could he ever be worthy of her sister Zi Ning?

Reprimanded by Zi Yumo, Xu Qianli was particularly defiant.

“Enough!”

“I know you look down on me, think I’m from humble beginnings, a self-made man from the grassroots level, just a tiny department-level cadre, completely unworthy of the Zi Family, completely unworthy to be your brother-in-law.”

“Even today’s incident, in your eyes, I’m entirely at fault, not a single thing done right.”

“But have you ever tried to see it from my perspective?”

“You say that the matter could be handled through normal channels, but have you thought about it?

Zhongzhou City is Lu Xingtian’s turf.

Could I resolve the issue quickly through normal procedures?”

“What if it couldn’t be resolved quickly?

What to do if something happened to Auntie Li?”

“You can be rational, and you can sit high and mightily criticising me, but do you know?

The old county magistrate is the person I, Xu Qian, respect the most in this life.

He not only showed me kindness but also regarded me like his own kin.”

“The old county magistrate was immensely gracious to me; when he passed away, his family’s affairs became my affairs!”

“If anyone dared to trouble Sister Caixia and Auntie Li, I was ready to fight to the death!”

“Today I was wrong; I was too impulsive, reckless, and irrational, but so what?

As long as I could save Auntie Li and bring her back safely, even if it cost me my life, it would be worth it!”

Xu Qianli’s roar left Zi Yumo stunned, staring dumbfounded at the man who had just been ready to risk his life for someone else.

Could she have been mistaken?

Had she really failed to understand Xu Qianli, to see the truth of the matter?

If Lia Manhua were replaced with her own mother or sister, Zi Yumo suddenly understood Xu Qianli’s actions.

Sighing deeply, Zi Yumo softened her tone considerably.

“Fine, I won’t criticize you for what you did.”

“But such a big incident will inevitably cause a chain reaction.”

“Setting aside how responsibility is assigned, you, a small Government Office Director, have thoroughly angered Zhongzhou City’s second-in-command Lu Xingtian.

Can you withstand his retaliation?”

“Don’t even think that the Zi Family will clean up your mess and help you through this trouble.

If you can’t handle the issues you’ve caused, the Zi Family won’t accept you as a son-in-law!”

Xu Qianli patted his chest.

“I, Xu Qian, stand tall and upright as a man.

If I punch a hole in the sky, I’ll stand under it myself.

I don’t need a few women from the Zi Family to intervene; I’m not begging for your help!”

“You say I’m unworthy of being a son-in-law to the Zi Family, and let me make it clear to you, I don’t covet your sister Zi Ning!”

“I saved your sister’s life before, you saved mine today; we’re even!”

You don’t fancy me, and I don’t fancy the Zi Family either; Xu Qianli was ready to draw a clear line with the Zi Family.

As Xu Qianli was speaking, suddenly Zi Yumo let out a cry of pain, her face turning pale as she clutched her stomach and squatted down, trembling all over.

Xu Qianli was taken aback, “Hey, what’s wrong with you?”
