Can't Take My Eyes Off You

C 176-177

Chen Xuyao glared at them coldly.

"The Zhang family? Huh, I've never heard of you."

Upon their so-called announcement, he realized that these people, who called themselves members of the Zhang family, were coming after his Brother Lu's wife. Did he bear some evil thoughts in his mind because of Jiang Yao's beauty? Did he think he had nine lives? What was actually going on?

"You!" Zhang Xiqing and Zhang Xinan were extremely furious by his response.

In Nanjiang City, whenever someone heard that they were from the Zhang family, who wouldn't come wagging their tails at them like an obedient puppy, except for some people? But this man so spontaneously said he had never heard of them. He was here for a business trip and he had never even heard of the Zhang family. How dare he! Was he a dimwit?

"Are you here on business? Which company are you working with?" Zhang Xiqing asked pompously before turning to Jiang Yao and shouted, "Miss Jiang, ask your sugar daddy to let go of my cousin! If he offends the Zhang family because of you, let's see how you're going to settle the dispute! By the way, this is a different guy today, you shameless little b*tch! You are a disgrace to our university and also the freshmen! I should let them see your filthy look right now!"

Chen Xuyao was stunned for two seconds. Then, he released Zhang Xinan's hand and said, "I, Chen Xuyao, have never hit a woman before in my life. Thanks to you, I'll make an exception today. It's your honor for making me break my principle."

In a blink of an eye, Chen Xuyao lunged a direct and hard kick towards Zhang Xiqing. He deliberately did not reduce his strength, so Zhang Xiqing suffered a solid and firm kick on her stomach that she stumbled for a few steps before falling onto the ground. She crouched on the floor holding her stomach and her mouth was wide open but nothing came out. She was in so much pain that she couldn't even scream.

Zhang Xinan was shaking his reddened hand. He gaped in extreme shock upon the scene.

"Xiqing!" Zhang Xinan dashed forward frantically to help Zhang Xiqing up while cursing inside him, 'Damn it!' Uncle and Aunt loved their only daughter like a prized gem. If they knew that she had been kicked while she was out with him, he would be scolded and punished.

Zhang Xiqing had never gone through a second of suffering since he was young, so when she was kicked in the stomach, her legs went jelly that she couldn't even stand up straight. As the man was walking towards them, she quickly hid behind Zhang Xinan.

Chen Xuyao shot a cold glance at Zhang Xiqing and turned to Zhang Xinan. "And you." He lifted his leg to kick directly towards Zhang Xinan. "I'm going to teach you a lesson today. I don't care if you're from the Zhang family or the Dog family, but don't bark like a mad dog in front of me! Also, you are foolhardy to go after the woman I'm protecting."

Jiang Yao stood frozen, her eyes widened in awe. She had never expected that such a gentle-looking man would be so violent. Disagreement—attack, dispute—attack, physical provocation—attack. He didn't even give them a chance to respond.

Although it seemed inappropriately brutal, Jiang Yao's heart swelled with warmth. She knew that Chen Xuyao's agitation was because of the insults from Zhang Xiqing and her cousin. He was Lu Xingzhi's best buddy and he protected her like his own buddy because she was Lu Xingzhi's wife.

Zhang Xinan was a man, after all. After being kicked, he struck back suddenly like a crazy lion who had lost its mind. Yet, how could a good-for-nothing rich playboy fight with Chen Xuyao, who was a military academy graduate?

Staring blankly at Zhang Xinan's counterattack, Chen Xuyao was so calm and relaxed as if he was teasing an energetic puppy. He put his hands into his pocket casually, using only his legs to restrain Zhang Xinan.

Anyway, Jiang Yao was worried that Chen Xuyao would attract unwanted attention and trouble if he went on. She walked to him, tugged his sleeves, and whispered, "That's enough."

Chen Xuyao snorted. "Relax, I'm just teaching two maniacs—a dog and a b*tch—a lesson!"

Human life was nothing to Chen Xuyao. Since he was young, he had never cared for rules and laws.

In a split second, the sound of the police siren resonated from a distance away and rapidly got closer and closer. The police cars stopped outside the hotel and a group of policemen barged inside and surrounded the four of them.

"Don't move!" Once the police saw two people crouching on the floor in pain, they swiftly turned their attention to the handsome man who was standing as straight as a statue. They were all professionally trained police officers, and they got a little anxious suddenly as they assumed Chen Xuyao was a soldier, either on active duty or retired.

All the policemen at the station knew how troublesome it would be if the veterans caused a scene.

"Police! Police! I am Zhang Xinan! Cuff that toy boy immediately! That b*stard attacked me!" As soon as the police arrived, the way Zhang Xinan saw them was if they were angels falling from the sky. He clumsily crawled up from the floor, tugged the captain of the police team, and commanded, "Shoot him! Shoot him! Get that woman into my room!"

Zhang Xiqing coughed in pain as she lay on the floor, glaring at Zhang Xinan like she was looking at a lunatic.

Upon Zhang Xinan's remark, the captain even pushed his hands away disgustingly, trying to keep their distance. They wondered how on earth the Zhang family had managed to raise such an idiot. Did he hit his head or something? Not only did he order the policeman to shoot a guy in broad daylight, but he had also demanded them to get a woman into his room. Seriously? Even the police chief's son treated them respectfully. Did he think that he owned the police force?

"Take them all back to the station!" the captain waved his hands around and commanded. He stole a peek at the man in a gray shirt and sighed in relief when he didn't resist the apprehension.

The captain was not a dimwit. He could guess what had actually happened after listening to Zhang Xinan's rambling. It had probably started with the rich brat tackling the pretty lady standing next to the man in the gray shirt, however, things took an ugly turn. Not only did he fail to get the girl, but his ass was kicked in the process.

The captain threw a disgusted glare at Zhang Xinan, who even needed someone to help him up and support him after being kicked. Then, he turned his glare at the girl who was lying on the floor and frowned in dismay. What role did the pompous Miss Zhang play in this ploy? Was she an accomplice who was helping her cousin snatch the girl? How else could she be beaten up otherwise?

"Jiang Yao, don't be scared." At this moment, Chen Xuyao took his hands out of his pocket and blocked the police officers who were approaching Jiang Yao and said coldly, "We have legs, we can walk on our own."

Jiang Yao gave an awkward sideways glance at him. What else should she feel instead of fear?

However, Jiang Yao said nothing upon Chen Xuyao's unconcerned expression. She followed him into the same police car and was taken to the police station.

It wasn't until Jiang Yao was finally in the police station that she felt everything was like a dream. She was just going to the lobby to meet Chen Xuyao, and unexpectedly, she was apprehended to the police station. Everything seemed to be like...

Like a drama.

The four of them were taken to the same interrogation room for questioning.

Zhang Xiqing was not a fool. She insisted that Chen Xuyao had attacked them first, then urged the police to return to the hotel to investigate or check the surveillance cameras. Then, she proceeded to contact her parents and lawyer.
