Chapter 279: Chapter 279: What Is This Inhuman Behavior?

Li Qiao couldn’t be bothered to expend any more energy thinking about Shang Qiongying’s affairs.

After all, as Shang Fu’s aunt, the two of them were probably tarred with the same brush.

After a night of good dreams, the next day, at seven-thirty in the morning.

Li Qiao walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.

She wiped her hair methodically, her peripheral vision catching a glimpse of the wound on her shoulder.

The swelling had gone down, and the bruising had faded considerably.

The external wound trial medicine from Yan Emperor was indeed remarkably effective.

Li Qiao shuffled forward a few steps in her slippers, then paused, heading to the bed to retrieve her phone from under the pillow. Besides a few news alerts, there was still no message from Yun Lih.

What’s going on?

Li Qiao sat down as a matter of course and opened her contacts to dial Yun Lih’s number again.

No answer.

Li Qiao furrowed her brows and logged into the ICC system shortly after; it took her a while to find a semi-transparent compass icon in the bottom corner of the user center.

After a brief examination, sure enough, it was a member coordinates locator.

Li Qiao tried to use it, and the moment she pressed the ’Confirm’ button, numerous red dots appeared on the entire map.

After a few glances, she narrowed the map scope to the South Sea, where three coordinates were precisely pinpointed.

Hmm? Three?

Li Qiao was somewhat surprised; was there another core member of the International Club in the South Sea?

Since only core members had access to the ICC system, she immediately ruled out Shang Fu.

Li Qiao’s fingers brushed her lips as she zoomed in on the screen, which revealed that aside from her laboratory location, the other two were respectively near the Commercial District CBD and the Traffic Police Brigade in the police service area.

The Yan Emperor Group headquarters happened to be in CBD; could it be Yun Lih?

Could it be that he went to trouble Shang Yu again?

As for the red dot coordinate by the Traffic Police Brigade, Li Qiao subconsciously ignored it.

However, just as she was about to click on the CBD coordinate, the red dot from the other party suddenly disappeared from the page as if it had never existed.

Li Qiao’s finger still hovered over the screen, faintly irritable.

What is Yun Lih up to?

Li Qiao held her phone blankly for a few seconds, her finger inadvertently touching the balloon coordinate near the Traffic Police Brigade, and an information box instantly popped up.

Member: Yun Lih

Affiliation: ICC-Mercenary Group

Security Level: A-grade

...

Li Qiao: "???"

She looked at the information box closely, exited, then re-entered; it still displayed Yun Lih’s information.

Li Qiao clicked on her own balloon coordinate, which showed the basic information for Yun Ling.

So, there’s no doubting the authenticity of the coordinate locator, which means... Yun Lih was really at the Traffic Police Brigade?

Li Qiao let her hand fall, staring straight at the wall opposite, then exhaled and ruffled her hair the next second, stood up, changed clothes, and headed straight out the door.

...

At eight in the morning, Li Qiao parked her car in front of the Traffic Police Brigade.

She got out of the car and walked in, passing through the temporary vehicle impound lot, and instantly spotted the lake-blue Ferrari.

He really was something.

Had his car been impounded on his first day in the South Sea?

In the service hall, Li Qiao entered the door and was immediately approached by a police officer in uniform rushing towards her.

"Miss Li, you’re here."

Li Qiao looked at the officer, barely nodded in acknowledgement, and the latter quickly disclosed his identity, "Miss Li, you remember me, right? I’m Wang Chuanchuan, Xiao Wang.

Director Fei has already informed them here. He’s not in South Sea today, so he asked me to come over and help sort things out.

I just asked their team leader about the specifics, and it seems Mr. Yun was brought here yesterday for driving under the influence and speeding in the city."

But he had been drinking and wasn’t very cooperative, so... we had no choice but to detain him according to law."

Xiao Wang deliberately emphasized the word "according to law", fearing that Li Qiao might think he wasn’t handling things properly, which could affect his future career.

Li Qiao responded indifferently, "Where is he now?"

Xiao Wang hurriedly gestured forward with his mouth, "In the detention room, I’ve just let them know. Please follow me."

...

Detention room.

When Li Qiao followed Xiao Wang in, she barely glanced up and saw Yun Lih sitting in the corner of the cell surrounded by iron bars, with his legs crossed. His hair was a messy tangle covering his brows and eyes, and his shirt was full of wrinkles. He was in such a state of disarray that it was tough to look at him.

The traffic unit staff following behind Xiao Wang took a serious look at Li Qiao and then explained in a low voice, "Officer Wang, this man is very uncooperative. Please persuade him.

After we brought him in yesterday, he refused to provide his vehicle registration and driver’s license. He wouldn’t say anything, so we had no choice but to lock him up."

Xiao Wang nodded in agreement and then stepped forward, very politely asking Li Qiao, "Miss Li, what do you think we should do about this..."

At that moment, as Li Qiao looked at the dispirited Yun Lih, she pursed her lips and looked away, "Does his traffic violation require detention?"

Xiao Wang looked towards the traffic unit personnel, who then flipped through the records and shook his head, saying, "Actually, his blood alcohol content was just over 20 milligrams yesterday, which is considered mild drinking and driving. It doesn’t qualify as drunk driving, so there’s no need for detention.

Luckily we discovered it in time, and it didn’t cause any serious consequences. We were planning to impose a fine, deduct points, give a lecture, and then let him go, but he just wouldn’t cooperate."

The implication was clear, there was no need for detention in the first place; it was all because of his own stubbornness.

Upon hearing this, Li Qiao rubbed her forehead, feeling an urge to punch him.

She looked at the silent Yun Lih, walked up, and kicked the bars, "Still alive?"

Yun Lih’s shoulders shook slightly, and he looked up at her with drooping eyelids, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth as he nodded.

"Vehicle registration, driver’s license," said Li Qiao, her voice neutral as she held out her palm towards the cell.

The next second, to the traffic policeman’s astonishment, Yun Lih obediently stood up and passed his documents through the bars.

What the hell was this inhuman behavior?

If you had just handed them over last night, would you have been detained?

Li Qiao watched Yun Lih coldly, clutching the documents in her hand, and scolded him, "You’re really something."

Next, the traffic police personnel took Yun Lih’s driver’s license and after some procedures, finally issued a penalty.

For drinking and driving and speeding, according to current traffic regulations, 12 points were deducted, a fine of 2000 yuan imposed, and his driver’s license was suspended for six months.

He was free to go, but his documents were to be kept.

Li Qiao had no objections, watching Yun Lih’s dejected figure, she almost wanted to laugh.

Perhaps because he was feeling too cramped, the tall Yun Lih, as he walked out of the detention room, didn’t watch his step and bumped his head straight into the overhead bars.

Li Qiao stood outside the bars, hand on her forehead, sighing. Xiao Wang and the traffic police personnel exchanged glances, not daring to laugh.

He was intimidating and his features were stern; he was clearly not someone to be trifled with.

After thanking Xiao Wang, Li Qiao led Yun Lih out of the traffic police station.

In front of the door, Xiao Wang watched Li Qiao and Yun Lih get into a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, patting his chest with a sense of relief afterward.

Indeed, the people around an ancestor are themselves ancestors.

Mr. Yun’s details, just like Miss Li’s, apart from the name and other basic information, were blank.

Meanwhile, Yun Lih sat in the Mercedes, legs crossed, leaning back in his seat, and turned his head towards the window without saying a word.

Li Qiao started the car, and as she drove out of the traffic police station gate, she glanced at him and said, "Come on, tell me what really happened last night?"
