Chapter 677: Chapter 677: Hua Tian’s True Form Revealed in Heavenly Capital
Hua Tian feigned an innocent expression and said, "Little Ying, don’t be unreasonable. They came here to capture Ye Xuan entirely because he killed someone! What does that have to do with me? Can you not drag me into this?"
Liu Ying sneered, her tone filled with intense disdain: "Hua Tian, as the eldest son of the Hua Family, I thought you were someone of note, but it turns out you’re just a despicable coward! You can’t even admit what you’ve done, only capable of playing dirty tricks in secret. It seems I’ve overestimated you."
A glint flashed in Hua Tian’s eyes, and his expression became indifferent: "Alright, since you’ve said so much, I’ll admit it! Yes, I did send them here, but what of it? He humiliated me last night; am I supposed to just suck it up and not seek revenge?"
He wore a carefree look, not the least bit embarrassed by his own actions as the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Heh, finally admitted it?" Liu Ying scoffed.
"What does it matter if I admit it? I didn’t do anything wrong, did I? He is a criminal; he killed someone! Even if it was manslaughter in self-defense, it’s still a crime. He broke the law and therefore must be punished. Was I wrong to have the police arrest him?"
In fact, he knew that regardless of his actions, it was impossible for Ye Xuan to be taken away. Liu Ying would surely protect him, and Ye Xuan would end up unscathed in the end.
His choice to proceed this way was solely to publicly humiliate Ye Xuan! Otherwise, he would have had the police arrest Ye Xuan the moment he found out about the murder last night instead of waiting until now.
It was nothing more than a desire to severely disgust Ye Xuan and to vent his own malice.
Liu Ying was a smart woman who had seen through this ploy long ago.
Therefore, her attitude was so tough, not only to maintain her own dignity but also to protect Ye Xuan’s! She absolutely could not allow him to be disgraced in front of everyone.
"I can’t deny that you’re not wrong to strike at those who humiliated you! If I were in your place, I’d be equally ruthless. But the one mistake you’ve made is moving against Ye Xuan. No matter how reasonable your explanations are, you must not touch this man, because he is my escort, and I won’t allow anyone to seek revenge or attack him!"
Liu Ying’s expression was ice-cold, her tone unmistakable.
Hearing this, a secretive light flickered in Hua Tian’s eyes: "Is that so? What if I insist on taking revenge?"
"Then it’s a fight to the death between us!" Liu Ying’s pretty face turned stern as she pronounced each word.
"Let’s see whether Hua Tian’s methods are more vicious, or if Liu Ying’s foundation is stronger. I will fight you to the end!"
Hua Tian’s face darkened as well, his eyes projecting a piercing sharpness: "Little Ying, if it were any other matter, I would yield to you, but not this one! Ye Xuan must be taken away!"
With that, he turned back and called out to Chen Long with a cold command:
"Officer Chen, aren’t you going to make a move? Whatever happens, I’ll support you. Just arrest him!"
"I understand."
Chen Long sighed helplessly; with Hua Tian putting it that way, how could he not make the arrest?
"Hurry! Capture Ye Xuan and take him away!"
Chen Long waved his hand, instructing the policemen behind him.
"Yes!"
The several policemen exchanged glances and then answered collectively.
The boss had given the order, so they had to follow commands and moved together towards Ye Xuan, surrounding him.
"Stop right there!"
A harsh reprimand rang out. Liu Ying stood in front of Ye Xuan, spreading her arms with an intensely sharp gaze:
"Let’s see who dares to touch him. If a single hair on him is harmed, none of you will leave this place tonight! I, Liu Ying, always keep my word!"
At this moment, Liu Ying was thoroughly enraged, and this furious woman cared for nothing else!
Anyone who dared to touch Ye Xuan would have to pay the price, police included. No one bullies the Liu Family without consequences.
Seeing this, the policemen who were about to advance halted, uncertain of what to do next.
They didn’t make a move, but neither did they retreat; instead, they formed a half-circle in front of Ye Xuan!
The Liu Family was not so easily dealt with, and it was clear they had their reservations. They could only turn their gaze to Chen Long, waiting for further instructions.
As for Chen Long, he could only offer a wry smile as he wasn’t the one calling the shots in this situation, so he looked towards Hua Tian.
After all, they were but a sword in Hua Tian’s hand, and whether that sword would be drawn from its sheath was up to Hua Tian to decide.
Hua Tian also furrowed his brow; he hadn’t expected Liu Ying to be so determined to protect Ye Xuan to the point of openly breaking ties!
After all, she was from the Liu Family. Although Huayun City was his home ground, if Liu Ying mobilized the Liu Family’s power, there was nothing he could do.
He found himself in a bit of a predicament!
Just as the standoff became tense, Ye Xuan, the center of this dispute, stepped out from behind Liu Ying.
He touched his nose, raised a hand to grasp the Jade on Liu Ying’s wrist, gently setting it down, and then stepped in front of her.
A playful smile playing on his lips, he glanced at the semi-surrounding policemen before his gaze fell on Hua Tian, saying lightly, "Young Master Hua, are you so confident that they can take me away?"
"If I say that if I don’t want to go, no one here could lead me away, would you believe me?"
His words were filled with confidence, seemingly not taking the group of policemen seriously at all.
Hua Tian’s eyebrow twitched as he let out a cold laugh: "Ye Xuan, are you only capable of hiding behind a woman?"
He thought Ye Xuan’s statement was premised on the protection of Liu Ying, thus he himself was helpless against Ye Xuan.
"No! I’m not talking about Liu Ying, but my own strength!" Ye Xuan replied calmly, with a light smile.
"Big man, you..."
Hearing this, Liu Ying wanted to say something, but Ye Xuan gestured with his hand for her to stop.
Hua Tian considered for a moment, then smiled coldly: "You mean your Combat Power? Perhaps, you could take them all down! But don’t you think you’re oversimplifying things? They are Criminal Police; just because of you, does that mean they can’t use guns?"
Even high-level Martial Arts are no match for a kitchen knife, let alone a gun. Hua Tian obviously sneered at Ye Xuan’s words.
"Guns? Guns can only intimidate the weak."
Ye Xuan shook his head nonchalantly, shrugged, and said, "Moreover, I’m not going to use my Martial Arts."
Huh?
Now it was Hua Tian’s turn to be surprised.
Not relying on the Liu Family’s power nor merely his own Martial Arts, could he possibly sprout wings and fly away?
"Really? I’d like to see how you can escape," Hua Tian said, frowning slightly with a cold sneer.
Ye Xuan ignored the latter and stood confidently in his place, loudly asking:
"Young Master Hua, do you dare to bet with me once more?"
