Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 243 - 244 Who Gets Slapped in the Face (5/5)

The Murong Family?

Xiang Wan snorted, showing her indifference. She didn't care about the so-called sects of the Jianghu, or even the Five Surnames and Seven Families, let alone the Murong Family.

"Mrs. Lin, you are suspected of conspiring with Lin Tianlong to murder your husband. Please come with me," Xiang Wan said disdainfully.

She detested women like Mrs. Lin the most. Why are women called things like 'green tea bitches'? Isn't it because certain individuals tarnish the reputation of all women? Xiang Wan hated women like her to the core. She swore to herself that once she brought Mrs. Lin in, she would make her suffer.

Mrs. Lin recognized Xiang Wan, as the officer had come over the night Mr. Lin died.

"Officer, you mustn't speak nonsense," Mrs. Lin said immediately. "Mr. Lin and I were deeply in love. How could I possibly kill him?"

Xiang Wan snorted, and the other officers rolled their eyes. Anyone with eyes could see there was something fishy going on, judging by the way Mrs. Lin was acting with the young man from the Murong Family. Only a fool would believe her lies.

"Young Master Murong, you have to save me! You must save me!" Lin Tianlong cried out. He knew his secret was out, and now only Murong Dawei could save him.

Last night, after killing the man, Lin Tianlong had been panicking outside, unsure of what to do. Suddenly, someone using the name "Black and White" added him on WeChat, claiming they could alter the surveillance footage at the intersection. "Black and White" also offered to devise a plan to introduce him to a young master from the Murong Family. Relying on this strategy, Lin Tianlong got to know Murong Dawei. He then brought Murong Dawei home and introduced him to Mrs. Lin. When Lin Tianlong tried to contact "Black and White" again, he discovered he had been blocked and couldn't find them. Now, his only hope was Murong Dawei.

"Young Master Murong, didn't you say you were very powerful?" Mrs. Lin also pleaded with him.

Murong Dawei nodded immediately, already completely captivated by Mrs. Lin. He puffed out his chest and declared, "There's no rule saying Mrs. Lin can't remarry, is there? She is mine now, and that makes Lin Tianlong like a son to me. As I recall, your police department doesn't handle matters of the Martial Arts World, correct? The Sword Emperor himself has decreed that if anyone from the Jianghu sects or the Five Surnames and Seven Families causes trouble, officials are not to intervene. He will handle it personally."

Xiang Wan snorted. Many people thought the Sword Emperor was impartial and selfless. However, coming from a police family, she had heard from her grandfather that while the troublemakers from the Jianghu sects and the Five Surnames and Seven Families did indeed disappear, they weren't dead. Instead, the Sword Emperor had rescued them, and now they worked for him. Xiang Wan had once asked her grandfather why he didn't expose this and let everyone know of the Sword Emperor's hypocrisy. Her grandfather had simply warned her that the Sword Emperor was not someone they could afford to challenge. It was best to turn a blind eye.

But Xiang Wan wasn't one to give up so easily. She gritted her teeth and said, "That's true, such a rule exists. But you've forgotten one thing—you're from the Murong Family, not a Jianghu sect or one of the Five Surnames and Seven Families."

Murong Dawei fell silent. Seeing this, Xiang Wan felt she had won. "So, Mrs. Lin and Lin Tianlong will still have to come back to the station with me."

Just as her voice faded, Murong Dawei threw his head back and roared with laughter. "Here comes the face-slapping moment! This is the part I enjoy the most!"

His words left Xiang Wan and the other officers baffled. They watched as Murong Dawei took out his phone and made a call. Once it connected, he said, "Cousin, didn't you say you were in Yang City with a few friends? Get over here quickly, I'm in trouble. Yeah, I'll send you my address."

After hanging up, Murong Dawei smugly put his phone away and chuckled. "I forgot to mention, my cousin is Zheng Tichen of the Xingyang Zheng family. Surprised? Isn't it a delightful surprise?" Murong Dawei savored these moments of turning the tables the most, and Xiang Wan could only grit her teeth.

Wu Tian, however, remained unconcerned, playfully teasing the little girl's nose, never seeming to tire of it. The little girl kept trying to bite his finger whenever he reached for her nose. Her first attempt failed. Her second attempt failed, and her third attempt failed as well. But the little one never gave up, continuing to try with all her might.

After some time, Zheng Tichen and his friends finally arrived. He already knew what was happening; Murong Dawei had sent him a text message on the way, explaining everything. Just protecting two people? In Zheng Tichen's eyes, it was a trivial matter.

After he and his friends arrived, one of them started shouting, "Do you people know your place or not? Don't you understand who you can take to the station and who you can't?"

Xiang Wan felt a wave of powerlessness. As she was about to resist, one of Zheng Tichen's friends stepped forward. "I'll handle this. I am Wang Yu, and I believe I have the qualifications to do so."

Xiang Wan snorted, her expression clearly indicating she had no idea who he was.

"Hahaha, you clearly haven't been in Yang City for long if you don't even know who I am. How do you expect to get by here? Let me tell you, my dad is Wang Chengxian," Wang Yu said smugly.

Wang Chengxian was the current vice mayor of Yang City. To hear Wang Yu's proud tone, an uninformed person might think *he* was the vice mayor.

Wu Tian scoffed. "Does your dad know you're out here causing this kind of trouble?"

"So what if he knows? And so what if he doesn't? What business is it of yours?" Wang Yu shouted back. "In Yang City, I have a say. I'm in charge here."

"Young Master Wang is so impressive!"

"Well done, Young Master Wang," Zheng Tichen and the other two young masters who had come along cheered happily.

Wang Yu nodded, enjoying the feeling of bullying the weak. After a moment, he looked at Wu Tian, Xiang Wan, and the others. "I won't make things difficult. Just leave, and I'll pretend today never happened. Otherwise, if you offend me, you won't have a single good day in Yang City."

Xiang Wan snorted again. She couldn't understand it. Why was it that so many great and powerful men, known for their divine and martial prowess, produced descendants who were nothing but useless playboys? They didn't seem to inherit a single positive trait from the previous generation.

Cheng Mingchong looked at Wang Yu and said, "Your father surely didn't teach you to behave like this, did he?"

This sudden question stunned Wang Yu. His father, Wang Chengxian, had of course taught him no such thing. He always lectured him on being humble and treating others with sincerity. Naturally, Wang Yu was very good at hiding his activities from his father.

"That's none of your business," Zheng Tichen and the other two young masters spoke up for Wang Yu when they saw he was silent.

At the same time, they were inwardly puzzled. Who is this Wu Tian? Why is his expression so calm? It's like he isn't afraid of our status at all.

Wu Tian just smiled. "What he does is none of my business, but it is certainly his father's."

Then, mimicking Murong Dawei from earlier, he also took out his phone and made a call.

Let's see who will be slapping whose face now.
