back" Fang Xiaru started complaining as soon as she saw him. "Fat Guy took your place delivering flowers, remember to share some of your salary with him!"“There are more flowers to deliver” Xia Tian w...Chapter 1: Big and Petite Beauties

"Mayor Gao." Upon seeing the tall man, Leng Bingbing hurriedly greeted him.

"Bingbing, you can leave first." Huang Haitao waved his hand.

"Yes, Director." Leng Bingbing got up and left the interrogation room.

Huang Haitao closed the door, then turned off the monitor. He respectfully said to the tall man: "Mayor Gao, we can begin now."

Looking up at Xia Jia, Huang Haitao immediately adopted a stern expression: "Xia Jia, this is Mayor Gao from the municipal government. He has some questions for you; you must answer truthfully!"

Xia Jia looked at Mayor Gao with interest: "After beating up his son, dad comes out. But, you've come too early! Could it be that Gao Mingyang's condition has worsened and he’s about to kick the bucket"

"Xia Jia, what attitude is this How dare you speak like this!" Huang Haitao shouted.

"Ahem, I’m telling you Mayor Gao, can’t you make this guy leave It's really noisy here!" Xia Jia ignored Huang Haitao and said to Mayor Gao with a smile.

"Xia Jia, behave yourself!" Huang Haitao angrily barked; in front of the mayor, he couldn't let his authority be undermined.

"Comrade Hai Tao, you may leave first."

Dumbfounded for a moment, Huang Haitao nodded and said, "Yes, Mayor Gao!"

Huang Haitao glared at Xia Tian resentfully before opening the door and leaving. Now only Mayor Gao and Xia Tian remained in the interrogation room.

Mayor Gao stared at Xia Tian with sharp eyes filled with spirit, naturally exuding an aura of authority that had been accumulated over a long period at his position. If the person sitting across from him were a common citizen, he would likely be intimidated by this official power, but unfortunately for Mayor Gao, the person sitting opposite was Xia Tian.

Xia Tian, who had spent much time on the mountain, didn't have any particular concept of high-ranking officials. Furthermore, his three masters always said that they needn’t fear anyone, and since Xia Tian believed he was even more formidable than them, there was nothing to be afraid of. Regardless of whether it was a mayor or governor, in Xia Tian’s eyes, everyone was the same; if he didn't like someone, he could still beat him up.

"Xia Tian, I am Gao Renxuan, and Gaomingyang is my only son." Mayor Gao finally spoke. "I have come today not as a mayor but in my capacity as a father to discuss something with you."

"Discuss what" Xia Tian asked absentmindedly.

A surge of anger rose in Gao Renxuan's heart. Although he was only the Vice Mayor of Jianghai City, there were still the mayor and city party secretary above him, and as a provincial capital, there were also high-ranking officials from the province who outranked him. However, in reality, even the Provincial Party Secretary would be courteous to him and wouldn't embarrass him in public, yet this guy without any background dared to treat him like this!

But thinking of his son still unconscious in the hospital and those so-called experts at a loss for what to do, Gao Renxuan ultimately swallowed his anger. His character had been honed to perfection through climbing to his present position.

"Xia Tian, let's be straightforward. Although we don't have evidence, everyone knows that Mingyang’s coma is your doing. I don't know what method you used, but all I need is for you to wake Mingyang up. If you agree, I can guarantee that you will leave the police station immediately and everything will be forgiven!" Gao Renxuan didn’t beat around the bush; he also had no time to waste as those useless experts in the hospital informed him that Gaomingyang’s condition was continuously deteriorating and nobody knew how long he could last.

"Mayor Gao, that's talking like a layman," Xia Tian shook his head. "There's a saying: When King Yan wants someone to die at three o'clock, who dares to keep them alive until five As an excellent fortune-teller, I dare not defy the will of heaven and don't have that kind of power. Therefore, regarding your son’s death, it is inevitable."

High Renxuan's face turned ashen; he was so angry he stood up but quickly sat back down, his eyes gleaming with sharpness: "Must Ming Yang die"

"Mayor Gao, it isn't me who wants him to die—it is heaven," Xia Tian chuckled. "Your son has done too many bad things; now the karma's come for him. As they say, when the time comes for retribution, there’s no escaping it. Now is your son’s turn."

"It seems I shouldn't have come today—there was no sincerity in you at all!" High Renxuan coldly looked at Xia Tian. "Young man, leave a way out for others so that one may meet again later; don’t push things too far!"

"Mayor Gao, actually, I didn't plan on seeing any of you again," Xia Tian said with a cheerful smile.

High Renxuan stood up. The anger in his heart was raging like fire: "Xia Tian, you’ll regret this!"

Though High Renxuan's heart was boiling with rage, when he walked out of the interrogation room, there was a smile on his face.

"Mayor Gao!" Huang Haitao came up to him.

"Let him go," Mayor High said with a smile.

"Mayor Gao, did you come to an agreement" Huang Haitao was somewhat surprised but quickly felt admiration. True to his title of mayor, he solved the issue as soon as he stepped in.

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't." Gao Renxuan was slightly displeased, "I'm busy. Do I need to teach you what to do next"

"Yes, Mayor Gao! I will definitely handle it perfectly!" Huang Haitao hurriedly nodded.

Less than five minutes after Gao Renxuan left, Xia Tian walked out of the interrogation room with a relaxed expression. Huang Haitao had just told him that he was free to go and would no longer be held responsible for his assault; as for the damages he caused at Night Beauty, he was required to negotiate compensation matters directly with its boss.

"Xia Tian, are you okay" Sun Xinxin rushed over upon seeing Xia Tian, holding onto his arm with concern. Although Leng Bingbing had already informed her earlier that she could leave, she still waited here for news about Xia Tian.

"I'm fine." Xia Tian chuckled and naturally pulled Sun Xinxin's soft hand, "Sis Xinxin, let's go back!"

"Alright!" A bright smile spread across Sun Xinxin's pretty face.

Xia Tian led Sun Xinxin to the door and turned around with a giggle toward Leng Bingbing, "Police flower sister, I'll come visit you again in a few days!"

Leng Bingbing ignored him, while a group of policemen standing nearby were speechless. Did this guy treat coming here like a vacation

...

Jiao Family Building.

"Xiao Qiao, you still understand big brother. Everyone says I don't know anything about alcohol, but in fact, they just don't know that what I like best is this high-proof baijiu."

"Big Brother, you've already had your drink. If there's something to say, just speak up."

"Xiao Qiao, didn't you hear about the incident with Night Beauty last night"

"Even though I don't know much, a matter as big as this one, of course, I'm aware of it."

"If you know about it, why do you not react at all"

"What kind of reaction does Big Brother think I should have Go find Gao Renxuan and ask him to let my husband go Or come to you and ask you to intervene with the Gao family Or even get that Provincial Secretary Qiao to help me out"

Qiao Donghai could hear a hint of sarcasm in Xiao Qiao's tone, forcing an awkward smile. "Xiao Qiao, I just feel that since your relationship with Xia Tian is so good, you should at least care about his situation."

"Are you trying to say that I don't have any feelings for him That I only agreed to marry him because he saved my life" Xiao Qiao sighed softly. "Big Brother, honestly speaking, among the Qiao family, you are one of the few people who make me feel good about someone. It's just a pity that neither you nor anyone else in the Qiao family understands me."

"Well, Xiao Qiao, you know I'm no genius, and my brain isn't as sharp as yours. So it’s understandable if I don’t get you."

"I stay out of Xia Tian's affairs because I know that even if I intervene, there won't be much effect without the support of the Qiao family. I am just Xiao Qiao who can make money." Xiao Qiao smiled softly. "Oh, by the way, Big Brother, I've just received news; Xia Tian has already left the police station. It seems that Gao Renxuan and him reached some kind of agreement."

"Uh, Xiao Qiao, you knew so quickly!" Qiao Donghai obviously knew about this matter as well.

"Big Brother, you must think that my husband had to agree to save Gao Mingyang's life under the pressure of Gao Renxuan, right" Qiao Xiaoqiao stretched her body elegantly.

"Isn't it so" Qiao Donghai's expression changed slightly.

"Of course not. I think that since Gao Renxuan couldn't force my husband to comply, he deliberately let him out of the police station because he planned to use other methods, and if my husband was still in the police station, those methods would be hard to carry out." Qiao Xiaoqiao appeared confident, "Big Brother, if you don’t want Gao Renxuan to hate the Qiao family for losing his son, it’s best that you tell him immediately to cancel his plan, otherwise, his son will definitely die."

"Xiao Qiao, do you... really mean this" Finally, Qiao Donghai's expression turned serious.

"To make Gao Mingyang live, the only way is for my husband to change his mind." Qiao Xiaoqiao smiled, "And in this world, there’s only half a person who can make my husband change his mind."

"Half a person" Qiao Donghai was somewhat confused.

"That's right. There is one person whose words my husband would follow without question; whatever she says goes. But the other person might persuade him, so she only counts as half." Qiao Xiaoqiao said slowly, "Unfortunately, that person who can make my husband listen to her isn’t in Jianghai."

"Xiao Qiao, then could it be you for the other one" Qiao Donghai wasn't stupid.

"Big Brother, I knew you were still quite smart." Qiao Xiaoqiao smiled sweetly, "Please pass on a message. If they want Gao Mingyang to live, they should come and beg me!"offends me escapes unscathed either," Xia Tian retorted stubbornly. "Those so-called Four Young Lords of Jianghai I could take them all on together and still beat them. What’s one Gao Mingyang"“You ma...
