Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Influence on Combat

"Who are you?" Lin Xi sounded a bit confused.

He didn’t recognize this person, but when he mentioned Bai Bing, he recalled something.

Last time, when he was taken to the police station by Zhou Yan for staying at a small inn, it was apparently resolved through his connections.

"I’m Yan Shan from the southern division, these are my subordinates. If there’s any mistake, please bear with us!" Director Yan said sincerely.

"There really is a mistake!" Lin Xi released Ren Hao’s hand and said seriously.

At this moment, Director He walked over and stood beside Director Yan, furrowing his brows, feeling a bit dissatisfied with Lin Xi’s attitude.

To put it bluntly, it was like taking advantage of the situation.

Even Director Yan, who usually showed Lin Xi a good face, looked a bit displeased.

They had investigated Lin Xi’s identity before and found he wasn’t someone with a notable background, only noteworthy was his good relationship with Bai Bing.

The group of policemen who had pointed guns at Lin Xi was puzzled when they saw their director being so courteous to Lin Xi, feeling uneasy afterwards.

Could this person have some background?

Moreover, hearing what Lin Xi said, their unease grew, especially for Ren Hao, whose career had always been smooth sailing.

Lin Xi seemed oblivious to the expressions of the two, briefly explaining what happened before, deliberately omitting the part where he single-handedly took down the kidnappers, giving more credit to Zhou Yan, explaining why he came with Zhou Yan to rescue.

Director Yan and Director He listened, especially Director Yan, understanding the reasoning behind Lin Xi’s words, and felt a cold sweat on his back.

He wasn’t a foolish person, in fact, very smart, otherwise wouldn’t be in his current position.

The Wang family, in Chuzhou City’s commerce circle, held considerable influence, and their controlled enterprises had strong power.

Inhabiting Chuzhou City for so many years, can you deny they have connections above? If Director Yan thought they didn’t, he’s been foolishly navigating the officialdom for all these years.

If the kidnapping case was not handled properly due to his subordinates’ actions, his position as director could be in jeopardy at any moment.

It’s not alarmist; they have that kind of power.

Lin Xi reminded him, seeing it not merely as grievances with Ren Hao, but crucially as a reminder, as if repaying a previous favor.

He couldn’t underestimate Lin Xi anymore; there’s something enigmatic about him, not only strong in personal power but also having good relations with the Wang family, and even with the Bai family.

"Thank you!" Director Yan said sincerely.

Lin Xi nodded, dealing with smart people was indeed relaxed, then walked in front of Zhou Yan, who had been enjoying the show, and said to Wang Xian, "I’ll take you home."

"Alright." Wang Xian had no reason to refuse, and was rather delighted.

Lin Xi was becoming more and more mysterious to her now.

"And you, was watching it quite fun?" Lin Xi couldn’t help but feel speechless, and said to Zhou Yan in a bad mood, "I want to taste my mom’s cooking tonight."

"You..." Zhou Yan wanted to curse, knowing what he meant.

"Let’s go." Lin Xi turned around, nodded to Director Yan and Director He, and headed for the door.

Wang Xian followed, and Zhou Yan had to follow too, absolutely can’t let him meet her mom again.

Director Yan and Director He greeted Zhou Yan and Wang Xian, seeing they weren’t hurt and didn’t ask further, since these two weren’t someone they could afford to provoke.

Watching the two beautiful women quietly following behind Lin Xi, their curiosity about Lin Xi grew even more.

Once the three walked away, Director Yan’s face instantly changed, coldly saying to Ren Hao, "You’ve really disappointed me!"

"Director, I..." Ren Hao hung his head.

"What ’I’? It seems the captain’s position doesn’t suit you, go back and write a report, reflect deeply!" Director Yan showed no mercy, thinking it’s okay if one’s a bit foolish, but being stupid is unacceptable.

Then he called over the old officers not far away, asking about the specific progress of the situation here.

This major incident had him a bit worried, especially since the group was fully armed, their firepower exceeding their imagination.

Ren Hao stayed aside, looking like a deflated balloon, knowing at this moment it’s not just about demotion, but cutting off his chance to climb higher.

"Lin Xi!!!" He gritted his teeth, his face distorted.

Wang Xian now sat in the rear seat, watching Lin Xi and Zhou Yan bicker, unable to get a word in.

Besides, she wasn’t familiar with them.

However, to thank them for saving her life, Wang Xian added their WeChat, saying once this is over, she’d treat them to a meal.

Around noon, at the gate of Tangjia Garden.

Wang Xian stood beside the police car, thanking Lin Xi and Zhou Yan again, and inviting them to her home, but Lin Xi and Zhou Yan declined.

Actually, Zhou Yan had something she wanted to ask Lin Xi but felt awkward saying it with someone else around. When she was about to drive Lin Xi to school, Lin Xi suddenly called out to Wang Xian, "Wait, this is for you."

In Wang Xian’s confusion, Lin Xi stuffed an item into her hand, then let Zhou Yan drive away.

"You’re shameless!" Zhou Yan glanced at the rearview mirror, saw Wang Xian holding something, still stunned, and couldn’t help but scold Lin Xi.

"That’s called a gentleman!" Lin Xi retorted.

Zhou Yan was too lazy to argue with him and soon dropped Lin Xi at the school gate, but didn’t let Lin Xi get off first, looking hesitant.

"Do you still have something else?" Lin Xi asked.

Zhou Yan seemed internally struggling for a while, then responded, "It’s like this, when do you have time, I want to ask you to teach me some fighting skills."

"Any day is fine!" Lin Xi nodded, he was willing to see Zhou Yan’s combat power improved.

In Lin Xi’s heart, Zhou Yan was already his person.

And as a police officer, Zhou Yan often dealt with various dangers, he couldn’t be by her side all the time.

Like this time, if Lin Xi hadn’t been there and Zhou Yan and others had found the kidnappers, anything could have happened.

"But before that, there’s something you have to do first." Lin Xi thought for a while, looking quite troubled, said with a look of pain.

"What is it?" Zhou Yan was curious seeing Lin Xi like this for the first time.

"Lose some weight!" Lin Xi said.

"????" Zhou Yan wasn’t overweight, didn’t understand why Lin Xi said that.

"It impacts your performance during fights!" Lin Xi’s gaze moved downward, staring as he said.

"...." Zhou Yan froze, took a while to respond, then yelled at Lin Xi, "Get lost!"
