40: Chapter 34 Looking for Money 40: Chapter 34 Looking for Money “Now, everyone line up side by side!” The gangsters did as they were told upon hearing this. “Each of you run a lap around the street,” Li Chen said, “and if I see anyone not running from behind, I’ll hang you up at the bar entrance for three days.” “While running, you all shout ‘I am proud’ at the top of your lungs, every 5 seconds.” “Did you hear me clearly?” Li Chen barked sternly. “Heard you loud and clear,” the gangsters were all quick-witted. “Start running now!” At Li Chen’s command, two rows of gangsters began to run outside, shouting as they ran: “I am proud!” As soon as they left the alley, a series of screams echoed through the streets, along with various exaggerated shouts, “OH MY GOD!” “I am proud.” The gangsters felt like dying; they hurried to run first, planning to find a place to hide halfway through. “I am proud.” The chant became fainter, and the screaming gradually subsided. After putting down the Qilin Princess, Li Chen started going through the gangsters’ clothes pockets. “What are you looking for?” The Qilin Princess, watching Li Chen’s previous actions and how he had teased those gangsters miserably, found the man in front of her always had surprising moves. Now she couldn’t guess what he was up to. “Looking for money,” Li Chen replied without turning his head, pulling wallets out of those pockets and gathering the money. “What do you need the money for?” The Qilin Princess was still curious. The King of the Netherworld was short of money? Li Chen just looked up at the Qilin Princess with a mischievous smirk, “How can I book a room without money?” The Qilin Princess was filled with shame and anger. She shouldn’t have asked him—that bastard. Li Chen put the money into his pocket and was about to stand up when he unexpectedly found some familiar square-shaped items in another garment pocket. His eyes lit up, he picked those things up, and the Qilin Princess turned away in embarrassment as soon as she saw them. “Haha, although they’re a bit small, a dozen or so should be enough,” Li Chen laughed as he placed these Durex into his pocket as well, and then he picked up the Qilin Princess. “Cougar, let’s go book a room!” He then quickened his pace, carrying the Qilin Princess towards a hotel. The Qilin Princess in his arms was almost unconscious! Damn, Li Chen quickly made sure to hold that hand properly. “Really, is this happening on the street?” Li Chen was at a loss for words and couldn’t help but click his tongue: “This girl, she’s really something!” “No way.” Li Chen couldn’t help a wry smile inside. He wasn’t a saint; if she kept this up on the street, a thrilling affair wouldn’t be out of the question. “So hot... hot...” the Qilin Princess murmured, her hands clinging onto Li Chen’s neck; her strength had evidently returned. “Damn,” Li Chen also felt a surge of heat. Meanwhile, pedestrians on the roadside all cast their glances at the couple, who were passionately kissing, and were amazed at the scene. The customs of Huaxia were not very open to begin with, but kissing on the roadside was still acceptable. However, the way they were kissing was just too wild. An old lady walked past Li Chen and the woman, looking at their frantic behavior, and shook her head: “Moral decay, moral decay indeed.” A man ogling at Li Chen and the Qilin Princess’s passionate display accidentally slammed straight into the railing. Li Chen felt a surge of heat rising in his lower abdomen. “I almost really did it right here on the street.” Li Chen gave a wry smile, and immediately pressed a spot on the Qilin Princess’s acupoint, causing her to faint on the spot. But at that moment, a police car had already pulled up behind them. “You, take out your ID!” A familiar voice came from behind. Li Chen turned to look and couldn’t help but be startled, how could he be so coincidental today? Officer Yu Yueying was also startled, the person before her was none other than Li Chen, who had made his move that day at the restaurant. Seeing Li Chen, Yu Yueying immediately became furious, “Take out your ID, I suspect you of using drugs illegally.” Without Li Chen’s support, the Qilin Princess had already collapsed on the ground, and at the same time, the three male officers in the police car brightened up at the sight of the sleeping Qilin Princess and got out of the vehicle one after another. “Aren’t we old friends?” Li Chen said with a slight smile, lifting his left hand and pretending to sniff it, “Your scent is quite unique, I was still thinking of trying it again.” Seeing Li Chen’s left hand, Yu Yueying immediately took out her handcuffs, “I don’t know you, and I suspect you of drugging her, please come back to the station with me.” “Yu Ying, this guy has used drugs illegally?” The previous male officer walked over with a frown. “Such audacity, has he no regard for the law at all? Little Feng, Little Liao, take this man into custody.” Li Chen glanced over the three male officers and immediately saw the greed in their eyes when they looked at the Qilin Princess. With a mocking laugh in his heart, Li Chen said lightly, “Are you blind? Which eye saw me drugging her, don’t you know she’s my girlfriend?” “You’re lying!” Yu Yueying looked at Li Chen with icy eyes, “The last time I saw you it was not with her, and it’s clear from her condition that she has been drugged. Just come back to the station with me, and a test will reveal whether drugs have been used.” “Why waste words with him?” The officer who seemed to be in charge walked straight toward the Qilin Princess while the other two moved toward Li Chen. Just as the male officer was about to touch the Qilin Princess, his wrist was grasped by a hand as iron-like as a vice. The officer was taken aback, but Li Chen coldly said, “If your filthy paws touch her, I’ll chop them off!” Looking into Li Chen’s icy gaze, the officer involuntarily felt a chill, but he quickly dismissed it, thinking, ‘I am the patrol officer of this area, why would I fear an unknown nobody?’ “You are obstructing police work; do you know the consequences of disturbing the police during their duties?” The officer tried to break free from Li Chen’s grip but was unable to move an inch and immediately threatened verbally. Li Chen gently pushed, and the man stumbled backward several steps before stopping. Yu Yueying was also furious, “Li Chen, you’ve got some nerve!” “Oh, wasn’t Officer Yu claiming not to know me just now? Now you recognize me?” Li Chen let out a cold laugh. Yu Yueying was speechless, but Li Chen continued nonchalantly, “Abusing police authority, arbitrarily depriving citizens of their rights, grabbing people without knowing right from wrong, just taking them straight to the station. Once at the station, the right can become the wrong.” “So who really has the audacity here? You tell me.” Li Chen’s gaze shot towards Yu Yueying like lightning. Yu Yueying wanted to argue back but had no idea how to refute his claims. “Fine then, tell me who she is, your relationship with her, and what you were planning to do with her. Make that clear to me.” Yu Yueying said, her chest heaving with anger. “Tsk tsk,” Li Chen shook his head and said, “I can’t tell you her name. As for my relationship with her, I’ve already said she’s my girlfriend. I was going to take her to a hotel.” After that, Li Chen sized up Yu Yueying from head to toe, “Are you saying you also want to go to a hotel with me?” Yu Yueying was enraged, but the three police officers beside her were also angry. The one called Little Feng immediately shouted, “Not mentioning a reason and causing a commotion here, I see you have a problem. Clearly, you must have used drugs.”
