When the silk stockings on the robber's face were taken off, he looked genuinely pitiful. Of course, most of them hated him.
His entire face was burned, and it didn't look like a normal burn wound either. There were even words branded on his face with a piece of flame. However, it wasn't very obvious from the looks of it.
Even with Yi Xiaoyan's discerning eyes, the others were unable to see through it.
The robber lay in front of Yi Xiaoyan, begging for mercy. From his eyes, Yi Xiaoyan could see that he was panic-stricken. He suddenly felt that this weak fellow was somewhat similar to her.
No, it should be similar to the cowardly Yi Xiaoyan from before.
Yi Xiaoyan was sure that there was no one in the house for a person like this. This was because only orphans would not be loved by others. The person in front of him was clearly an orphan that no one wanted.
"Hands up!" Seeing Yi Xiaoyan subdue the robber, Zhou Bingzhi almost hugged him to thank him. She was so excited that she forgot about it.
However, since there were so many people around, he decided to just forget about it after thinking about it for a while.
She led her men over, cuffed the robber, and loaded him into the police car.
For such a special robber, they even put a set of shackles on his feet. After all, this guy only relied on his two legs. If he wasn't locked up, then when the time came, they would really be busy for nothing.
"Bingzhi, you should be more serious when you interrogate him later."
Yi Xiaoyan suddenly said as she walked up to Zhou Bingzhi. She didn't know why, but she felt a lot worse after seeing the suspect.
"What do you mean by that, Yi Xiaoyan? "You mean to say that I used to love abusing prisoners and didn't take cases seriously?" As soon as she heard this, Zhou Bingzhi immediately went to Yi Xiaoyan for an explanation.
"Aiya, this, Bingzhi, you misunderstand me. I mean, what happened to him shouldn't be that simple. "It would be best to ask him more clearly. If you look closely at his face, you might be able to gain something special." Yi Xiaoyan smiled wryly, but at least she didn't show any displeasure in front of others.
Yi Xiaoyan had always believed that no matter how unhappy she was, as long as the people around her were in a good mood, she had to hold it in. Even if it was a fake smile, he still had to smile along. It was fine if he just released it as much as he wanted when he was alone.
"Hmph, that's more like it. From the day I became a police officer, I've never been angry at any criminals. I treat them the same, and I really care about them." Zhou Bingzhi also thought back to when she had just started as a police officer.
"Alright, then I'll be leaving first. If there's anything else later, you can look for me." Then, without waiting for Zhou Bingzhi's reply, she left the scene, heading straight for the pharmacy.
Zhou Bingzhi wanted to stop Yi Xiaoyan and ask him out for a meal, but she swallowed her words back.
Yi Xiaoyan had never had the desire to buy a car. In fact, the car's speed was superfluous for him. However, right now, he didn't want to walk, so he had no choice but to take the bus.
Yi Xiaoyan was already drowsy after getting on the bus. Because of the previous robber, he had always been in a bad mood. He did not know the reason why, but he had always felt a heart-wrenching sensation.
Sitting on the seat, he actually fell asleep as the car swayed.
When he woke up, he found that he had already sat down. Ye Zichen got off the car and prepared to go back.
At this moment, a familiar figure walked over. It was a tall figure with a well-proportioned body.
She wore a long white dress, red high heels, and a perfect temperament. However, she seemed to be a bit young, so she could only be called a cute girl.
However, when Yi Xiaoyan recognized him, he immediately turned around and acted as if he didn't know him.
However, this action was seen by the opposite party. The young girl was already walking towards him with a smile.
"Mr. Yi, are you waiting for the car here as well?" The young girl was none other than the person whom Yi Xiaoyan had saved the last time, Shang Lin, who seemed to have a special relationship with the wine in the book.
"Right, I'm waiting for the car. You aren't here for the bus, are you? "
Yi Xiaoyan quickly swept a glance at Shang Lin. If she said yes, she would show a contemptuous expression. She was so damn rich, yet she wanted to be like the poor and squeeze a bus?
While he despised Shang Lin in his heart, he had clearly forgotten that the current him was also not a poor person. His current worth was more than a billion yuan. Wasn't he also jostling for public transportation with the rest of the people?
"I didn't come by car, I was waiting for someone. A friend of mine said she came by bus, so I came to pick her up." Shang Lin smiled sweetly, showing her respect towards Yi Xiaoyan.
"Erm, isn't the wine with you? I can see that you two are always together. It seems like there is no time for us to separate. " Yi Xiaoyan didn't want to talk to Shang Lin at first, but now that she was bored, she started talking casually.
He looked down on Shang Lin, and this was indeed true. He did not deny that Shang Lin could definitely enter the ranks of beauties he had seen before. Her face was indeed pretty, and her figure was so lithe. Under normal circumstances, any man would have some ideas about her.
However, from Yi Xiaoyan's point of view, if she had such a beautiful face and was so young, why did she have to show such a bad old man like Wen Jiu? Was it all for the money?
It was like a dream!
In just one night, the world seemed to have become more complicated!
"Uncle is still busy inside the company, and I'm here to pick up my friend. He definitely won't come with me." Shang Lin said with a smile.
"What?" "No, no, what did you just say? You said that the wine was your uncle?" Yi Xiaoyan quickly stopped Shang Lin and asked with a serious expression on her face.
"Yes, he is my uncle. "What, is there something wrong?" Shang Lin also seemed incredibly shocked. In her opinion, Yi Xiaoyan was on good terms with Wen Jiu. How could she not know that Wen Jiu was her uncle?
"No …." "No, I'm sorry, I was wrong before." Yi Xiaoyan was extremely embarrassed as her face turned red again.
He repeated himself again, wishing that he could immediately dig a hole and create such a big black dragon.
Seeing Yi Xiaoyan's expression, Shang Lin seemed to understand something and burst into laughter.
"Mr. Yi, did you misunderstand my relationship with uncle?" Shang Lin covered her mouth and laughed.
"This... "I'm sorry, but when I first saw you two, who told you to kiss and hug each other on the streets, I naturally had my thoughts go astray." Yi Xiaoyan said snappily.
"I have been studying in the United States for eight years. Do you think I should have some customs there? You sure are vulgar, a kiss is only etiquette, it is nothing. Besides, he's my uncle. " Shang Lin smiled mischievously.
"Okay, etiquette, right? Then are we very familiar with each other now? Will you also kiss me once you meet?" Yi Xiaoyan said gloomily. He had never been able to accept etiquette, sometimes even hugs.
"Of course you can!" Just as Shang Lin finished speaking, she took a step forward and lightly pressed her lips against Yi Xiaoyan's face. She then stepped back, leaving a faint smirk on her face.
"You …" Yi Xiaoyan stared at Shang Lin blankly, not knowing what to do.
"Mr. Yi, the bus is here!" Shang Lin said with a smile as she pointed at the bus parked in front of them.
"Oh, oh, I... I'm leaving now, and... Goodbye! " Yi Xiaoyan stuttered as she hurried to her car, her heart pounding.
After a long while, he slowly touched his face with his hand, let out a long sigh, and laughed: "It's good that I didn't kiss you, it's good that your father's first kiss is still here!"
Two days later, Yi Xiaoyan received a call from Zhou Bingzhi.
"Bingzhi, what's the matter?" Yi Xiaoyan said with a smile. After being run by Abbin, the profit of the pharmacy was now tens of thousands per day. He was satisfied with that.
"Didn't you ask me to help you pay attention to the auction of the top-grade lingzhi root? There was already news of this. The auction was going to start tomorrow. A knife or something like that was auctioned off together with the auction. There are only two of them, and only fifty spots. I got one for you. " Zhou Bingzhi said.
"Really? Thank you so much. " Yi Xiaoyan was so excited that she almost jumped up. She didn't expect there would be a quota for this auction.
"Why would we say thank you? I'll come look for you again in the future. You can just not refuse." Zhou Bingzhi laughed on the other end of the phone.
"Of course. Oh right, where is the auction taking place?" Yi Xiaoyan asked.
"It's naturally the auction house of the Su Clan, the auction house of the Su Clan." It's in the West End. I'll take you there tomorrow. " Zhou Bingzhi said.
She hadn't contacted Yi Xiaoyan in the past two days, but she kept feeling like something was missing in her heart, a sense of absent-mindedness. Now that there was news about the auction house, she contacted Yi Xiaoyan immediately.
After knowing that there was a quota for the auction, Zhou Bingzhi was worried to death. In the end, she still used her status as the vice captain of the Criminal Police squad to get a ticket for herself.
"Is that so? That's fine too, I'll have to trouble you tomorrow then." After hanging up, Yi Xiaoyan was excited and called Lin Zhihu over. The two of them put together a total of six billion. They didn't know if Lin Zhihu had already taken out all of his old money or not.
"Ah Hu, we must obtain the top-grade Lingzhi this time. I'll definitely let you improve your strength." Yi Xiaoyan said as she patted Lin Zhihu's shoulder gratefully.
"Boss, there's no need to be so polite. We can just give Qiang a bit more when the time comes." I don't have much to ask for now, but Qiang is my everything. " Lin Zhihu said with satisfaction as he looked at the baldy who was cultivating.
"Alright, prepare well for tonight. We'll go together tomorrow. We might need to use force then." Yi Xiaoyan said with a smile.
"Hehe, I, Lin Zhihu have never been afraid of anything. At that time, I will kill whoever you want me to kill!" Lin Zhihu chuckled.
"You actually dare to kill someone now?" When I first met you, why didn't you want to kill me as soon as you arrived? "
"That's different. Now that we have a backer, we don't need to be afraid even if we kill people." "In the past, if I killed someone, I wouldn't have been so confident." Lin Zhihu and Yi Xiaoyan looked at each other and laughed.
The next morning, Zhou Bingzhi drove a police car to pick up Yi Xiaoyan.
Although she was driving around in a police car and did seem like she was using the public car to her advantage, she still felt that Yi Xiaoyan was not an outsider. In the previous few cases, if she didn't have Yi Xiaoyan's help, she would really run into a wall everywhere! For such a talented person, she wasn't the only one who valued him highly. She valued him greatly as a whole.
