Chapter 632 - Chapter 632 Chapter 18 Heavenly Yi versus the Lord of Water

Chapter 632: Chapter 18: Heavenly Yi versus the Lord of Water Chapter 632: Chapter 18: Heavenly Yi versus the Lord of Water On the overpass, Vivian, dressed in a white sweater, faced the railing, overlooking the entire New Territories Police Station.

Flames intertwined with thick smoke, reaching a height of five or six meters.

“Godfather, there seems to be a problem.”

“You’ve never made a mistake in your work. What’s going on?”

“It looks like Li Yaoguang might not be dead.”

In Vivian’s hand was a palm-sized black compass, its needle spinning rapidly.

“Understood, come back first and we’ll talk. Hello? What’s wrong?”

The person on the other end of the phone sensed a sudden change in Vivian’s emotions.

A trace of sweat seeped out from the back of Vivian’s neck. She glanced sideways in a certain direction next to her, clenching her phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white, clearly under tremendous psychological pressure.

“Hello? Vivian, are you okay?”

The voice on the phone pressed for an answer.

“Just hang up the phone, or let me do it for you.”

Li Yan reached out his hand.

Somehow, he had appeared next to Vivian without any warning.

Vivian stared at the broken handcuff on Li Yan’s wrist for a while, then suddenly bestowed him with a radiant smile like a blooming lily, “Alright.”

With that, she handed the phone to Li Yan.

Meanwhile, a large crack inexplicably split the road between them, followed by a widespread collapse! The ground beneath Li Yan’s feet gave way, chunks of the overpass’s asphalt plummeted down with a heavy whoosh, narrowly missing a taxi, with screeching tires and honking horns sounding off chaotically.

Huge steel frames, loose soil, and chunks of asphalt piled into ruins. At least several dozens of meters of the road had collapsed into nothingness, yet the bridge under Vivian’s feet remained as stable as a rock.

But soon, Vivian’s smile froze.

She was horrified to find that this man was somehow standing in front of her, not having fallen with the bridge.

“Thank you.”

Li Yan took the phone, glanced at the number, and hung up the call.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~

Water cannons suppressed the raging flames, and a police officer holding a firefighting hose shouted in the thick smoke, “Li sir, how are you? Li sir.”

“Found Li sir!”

Someone shouted.

“Cough cough~”

Within the dense smoke, a vague figure emerged. Li Yaoguang was helped out, appearing to have sustained only minor scrapes.

Coughing and weakly waving his hand, Li Yaoguang said, “The suspect might still be inside, keep looking!”

“Understood, Li sir, it’s dangerous here. Please head downstairs first.”

Amidst the chaotic fire, Li Yaoguang was rescued from the police station and put on an oxygen mask. Only then did he settle down, recalling the moments in the interrogation room when the flames and the blast wave nearly hit him head-on. By the time he regained his senses, almost everything in the room was destroyed, yet he was unharmed, and Li Yan had vanished from the interrogation chair.

Qian Wu’s words echoed in his ears.

“Before you leave the house in the coming days, check the gas and lock up to prevent fire and theft. Be careful and cautious in your actions, and after the fifteenth of next month, all will be well.”

Upon this thought, Li Yaoguang couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “Could it really be that supernatural?”

At that moment, someone let out a startled cry. Li Yaoguang looked in the direction of the sound, only to watch in shock as a several-dozen-meter section of the overpass collapsed to the ground, exacerbating the already congested traffic into chaos.

——————————–

“The Cold Storage case was your doing.”

Facing Li Yan’s accusation, Vivian neither admitted nor denied it.

“Last time at the cold storage, I didn’t have the time, and now you’ve gotten into trouble with me again so quickly. I want to ask you a few questions, how about we change the location and talk?”

No sooner had Li Yan finished speaking than a red dot suddenly appeared on his eyelid.

Bang!

Amidst the commotion, the sound of the gunshot didn’t attract much attention. Taking the opportunity, Vivian lunged forward, flipped over the overpass, her fluttering skirt and slender legs plummeting down. Just at the critical moment, Vivian felt a tightness around her ankle. Looking up, she saw Li Yan clinging tightly to her ankle from the railing, completely unharmed.

“What kind of monster is this?”

Vivian’s heart turned cold. Gritting her teeth, she reached into the edge of her thigh-high stockings and pulled out a miniature pistol to shoot at Li Yan. But before she could fire, a dazzling golden compass on her body flashed, and Li Yan’s temple experienced a painful throbbing, unbearable to the point that he involuntarily let go, allowing her to fall toward the ground. By a stroke of luck, a passing truck caught Vivian as she fell, and then it sped up, the engine roaring as it drove away quickly.

Li Yan shook his head. The blurry scene before his eyes slowly came back together.

He had subconsciously activated Blood Dip, hoping to subdue this woman, and it turned out that he was the one who had been slightly injured.

A series of information popped up.

“You have suffered backlash from Heavenly Yi Guard, which will ignore any protection and retaliate with the same degree of damage that the Heavenly Yi Noble would have received.” (This applies only to non-physical damage)

Note: She is truly a favorite of the heavens.

Li Yan was not alarmed but rather pleased. The truck was almost disappearing from sight, but for him, such a distance didn’t matter at all. As long as he was careful, Ye Shiru’s Heavenly Yi Guard wouldn’t be able to save her. He was about to give chase when he glimpsed a red Hao car amidst the chaotic scene at the police station, hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided not to pursue it.

He sighed, crumpled the handcuffs on his wrist, tossed them aside, and jumped off the overpass.

“Miss Judy, please don’t get agitated. There haven’t been any casualties at the scene. It shouldn’t be too bad.”

Police Commissioner Chen was speaking until he was parched, but he couldn’t even take a sip of water, doing his best to soothe the other’s emotions.

Judy took a drag on a lady’s cigarette, her lightly trembling fingers revealing her inner turmoil.

“Police Commissioner Chen, we agreed over the phone that I would visit the police station tonight and could take my person away early tomorrow morning. Now only my person is missing? How can you tell me not to be agitated?”

Thick smoke billowed from the second-floor window of the police station.

Judy pointed at Li Yaoguang next to her: “He was in a room with Li Yan at the time of the gas explosion, he’s completely fine, but where’s my person? Neither alive nor found dead?”

Thud thud thud~

Someone tapped gently on the car hood. Judy, who was already on edge, turned around in annoyance, and there she was, face-to-face with Li Yan.

Li Yan smiled and waved, his face still marked by a bit of grime.

“…”

It took Judy a while to react before she embraced Li Yan.
