——————————————————————

Immediately following Xiao Yi, a group of stern and bone-chilling armed personnel emerged like specters behind the crowd. With great order, they pushed through the onlookers and swiftly enclosed the center of the venue in a large circle, shoving the spectators to the outside. Then they turned around, machine guns in hand, aiming straight at Director Li, Boss Zhang, and others present along with the police officers who were wielding pistols, their gazes cold and stern.

Upon the arrival of this group, virtually everyone at the scene gasped sharply!

Was this really necessary?

Among the crowd, that striking figure, from behind sunglasses that nearly hid half her face, her beautiful eyes exuding an indescribable allure, couldn’t help but reveal a touch of surprise. Her brows lightly furrowed; in her opinion, Chen Jianguo’s intervention was already more than sufficient. The arrival of Situ Hongliang felt unnecessary.

Yet, to her amazement, they had mobilized the G City Rapid Reaction Force.

But soon, when her gaze swept over Xiao Yi and the two people he was protecting behind him, Li Xiaomei and Wang Qingqing, her eyes darkened in contemplation. It seemed she recalled something and a relieved expression crossed her face. A hint of a smile, different from the previous mocking one, formed on her lips as she muttered, "Unexpectedly, this lad, just like his old man, is quite the affectionate one. However, his way of handling matters is quite seasoned, a spitting image of his old man; he is indeed a little fox."

"But you, this little fox, calculating others is one thing, huh, daring to deceive me, Perfunctory? Sooner or later I’ll make you realize how formidable I am."

As her voice dropped, something seemed to cross her mind, and a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on her face. She snorted coldly through her nostrils and glanced once more at Xiao Yi’s figure in the forefront.

Observing these rows of armed and loaded personnel, who were significantly more imposing than those who had made their appearance earlier, Boss Zhang, Director Li, and the others felt as if darkness had enveloped them, nearly fainting on the spot. Unfortunately, they could not pass out even if they wanted to; their legs simply gave out, and they crumpled to the ground.

This time, even Boss Zhang couldn’t keep his footing and collapsed onto the ground for real.

Because, the underling who had been supporting him up until that moment had also collapsed.

Behind him, nearly all his minions’ faces turned the color of dry clay, utterly bloodless, as they slumped to the ground in unison. Instinctively, they dropped their pistols and raised their hands high - a gesture of surrender.

"Didn’t I tell you to come immediately? How come it took you so long to get here!"

Seeing the group arrive, Situ Hongliang’s face relaxed slightly, and he appeared somewhat steadier though he didn’t speak immediately. He waited until the team members had taken their positions before staring seriously at the leader of the group.

"Traffic jam!"

The leader, in his thirties, replied expressionlessly and with resounding clarity.

"Pfft..."

Hearing such a grave response from the man in uniform, some people in the surrounding crowd couldn’t help but let out knowing laughter. Traffic jams, an excuse almost every person from G City had used, whether it was to their superiors, family, or friends for being late.

Helplessly, nearly everyone in G City had experienced the agony of traffic congestion, especially during peak commuting hours and holidays, when major thoroughfares could be jammed to the point of frustration.

However, nobody expected soldiers to use traffic jams as an excuse.

And some people’s laughter, like a fuse, quickly spread until almost all the onlookers couldn’t help but laugh.

Aside from the man and his military personnel, the only people not laughing were Director Li, his friends, and his underlings. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to laugh; they simply couldn’t. Their mouths twitched, but they couldn’t make a sound.

"This kid from the Wang family is quite interesting,"

The striking figure in the crowd couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Pfft..." After a while, she looked at the man, who was about six feet tall, with interest and muttered softly to herself.

Xiao Yi also showed a surprised expression, glancing involuntarily at this impressively tall and imposing man.

"You scamp, be serious..."

Situ Hongliang, too, was left speechless by the man’s behavior. As he watched him stand there, motionless and solemn, unsure whether to laugh or scold, it took him a while before he finally managed to spit something out.

"I am being very serious. We were indeed delayed by a traffic jam for three minutes, which caused us to be late by the same amount of time,"

the man reiterated sternly.

"Pfft..."

This time, even Chen Jianguo couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and the usually stone-faced and expressionless team members also couldn’t help the muscles of their faces twitching slightly. Glancing at their team leader with a hint of a smile, they gave him a thumbs up. (To be continued.
