"Name?"

"Li Xiaoyao."

"Age?"

"28."

"Do you know what you've done wrong?"

"No, I don't."

"You don't know?" The police snorted coldly and said, "Last night, do you have no idea what the security guards at 'Gone with the Wind' did?"

Li Xiaoyao suddenly realized, it was about this matter.

"I don't know, and it has nothing to do with me. I wasn't at the bar last night."

The police scoffed and said, "I know you weren't at the bar, but boy, you've offended quite a few people. Someone has spread the word, even if you're innocent, they will pin a crime on you. Without any accidents, you're going to spend the rest of your life in jail."

Li Xiaoyao responded indifferently, "I've offended too many people, whom are you referring to?"

The police looked at him and said, "Kid, you really are quite arrogant."

"Oh, am I?" It had to be said, Li Xiaoyao's indifferent expression was extremely aggravating.

The police slammed the notebook onto the table and said, "Kid, I'm not afraid to tell you, Liang Zhengdao, the director of Muze City, personally ordered that you spend the rest of your life in prison. So, you can pretty much give up any hope of getting out. Unless you escape from prison, there's no chance you'll be free."

Liang Zhengdao!

Indeed, he had a hand in this affair.

The police handed over a piece of paper to Li Xiaoyao and said, "Sign here, and press your fingerprint."

Li Xiaoyao didn't even glance at it and asked, "What is this?"

"A confession agreement."

"Confess?" Li Xiaoyao laughed, "Heh, I'm innocent, so I won't confess. Also, I have a piece of advice for you, don't be an accomplice to tyranny."

"Kid, it seems like you haven't realized your situation. You're a prisoner at the mercy of the court." The police glared at Li Xiaoyao fiercely and said, "Think it over. Signing the confession agreement will spare you a lot of pain and prevent you from getting hurt all over."

With those words, the two officers turned and left the interrogation room.

Li Xiaoyao sat alone in the interrogation room, his face sullen as if water were about to drip from it.

If it were someone else today, faced with such injustice and deliberately targeted by Liang Zhengdao, they would probably have to spend the rest of their lives in prison.

Li Xiaoyao took a deep breath as he began to think about how to resolve this matter.

No matter what, he had to get out before five o'clock today because he had to pick up Lan Cai from work.

"If it really comes down to it, I'll have to use force to break out!"

...

Ever since that night's event, Ji Yutao's heart had been racing.

Li Xiaoyao was definitely a master, and the kind that was rare to come by.

Befriending him could have a pivotal effect on his own career.

In his position, Chairman Ji knew things that ordinary people had no access to.

For instance, the state had some special departments that dealt with phenomena science couldn't explain.

People in these special departments usually possessed exceptional skills and had tremendous power, allowing them not to be bound by worldly rules.

But these people were all very proud and would not pay heed to you even if you were their leader.

And now, he was fortunate enough to know a special individual who had not yet joined the special department, which was definitely a gift from heaven to himself.

However, although Chairman Ji knew where Li Xiaoyao lived, he just couldn't find an excuse to make contact with him.

As Ji Yutao was feeling anxious, he suddenly received a call from Xiao Ya.

"Xiao niece, what made you think of calling this old man?" Upon receiving Xiao Ya's call, Ji Yutao's heart stirred; perhaps she would bring him good news.

Xiao Ya giggled a few times; since that night's event, not only had Chairman Ji not blamed her, their relationship had grown even closer. Xiao Ya knew that all of this was because of Li Xiaoyao.

"Uncle Ji, I have good news. Do you want to hear it?"

Ji Yutao paused, then immediately became somewhat excited. Could it really be about Li Xiaoyao?

"You girl, playing these games with Uncle Ji now?" Ji Yutao was in high spirits.

Xiao Ya pouted and said, "Uncle Ji, I haven't even told my dad about this good news."

The more Xiao Ya said, the more excited Ji Yutao became.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore." Xiao Ya said. "It's about Mr. Li."

"Mr. Li!" As expected, it was related to Li Xiaoyao. Ji Yutao quickly asked, "What happened to Mr. Li?"

Xiao Ya said, "I just called Mr. Li to ask him out for dinner, but Mr. Li has run into some trouble."

"Trouble? What trouble?" Ji Yutao's heart pounded. Could he solve the problem that even a person as capable as Mr. Li couldn't?

Xiao Ya explained, "He has been taken to the police station. Uncle Ji, you know, someone like Mr. Li, who is a person of high standing, rarely deals with worldly affairs, so I guess those police officers definitely do not know his identity. That's why they took him away."

"What!" Ji Yutao stood up abruptly and said, "These police, they really have no sense of the weight of things to dare to arrest Mr. Li."

"Uncle Ji, you must act quickly. Otherwise, with Mr. Li's capabilities, I estimate he could be out in a matter of minutes. However, if we dare to release him before Mr. Li uses his own influence, he will certainly owe us a favor."

"Hmm, I understand," said Ji Yutao, his heart racing with excitement. Indeed, as Xiao Ya had said, she had given him a great gift.

"Girl, I've received this great gift," he said.

"Hehe, Uncle Ji, you'd better find someone fast. Don't let Mr. Li get anxious." After hanging up, Xiao Ya's face showed a smug smile.

Ji Yutao immediately picked up the phone and called Zhu Haishan.

At that moment, Zhu Haishan was dealing with paperwork when his secretary suddenly ran in, his face tense, "Director Zhu, a call from the chairman!"

"The chairman? Which chairman?" Zhu Haishan hadn't reacted yet.

The secretary wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Chairman Ji."

Zhu Haishan was surprised and said, "Hand me the phone."

The secretary hurriedly passed over the phone, and Zhu Haishan composed himself for two seconds before answering.

"Hello, Chairman Ji, what are your instructions?"

"Hmph!" Chairman Ji suddenly snorted, making Zhu Haishan's heart skip a beat.

"You are the Director of the City Bureau. I dare not give any instructions," Ji Yutao said.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Haishan's heart was even more unsettled as he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Chairman Ji, you jest."

"Jest? Do I look like I'm jesting?" Ji Yutao said. "I'm asking you, what exactly did Mr. Li do wrong? How could you arrest someone without any evidence or investigation?"

"Mr. Li?" Zhu Haishan looked bewildered, realizing the police had arrested the wrong person – and what's worse, this person was an influential figure!

Chairman Ji reminded him, "Li Xiaoyao, Mr. Li!"

Hearing this name, Zhu Haishan paled, his hand trembling so much that the phone nearly dropped to the floor.
