129: Old Fu, don't worry about me taking care of things.
"They are all just small fry. It seems they want to catch a big fish, but I'm afraid it won't be that simple."
Shortly after injuring the ten men.
Before Li Canglan could extract any information from them,
members of the Patrol Guard arrived and surrounded Li Canglan.
"Please drop your weapon immediately and come with us to the Patrol Guard!"
The leader of the Patrol Guard was only a Two-star Early Stage Martial Artist.
But he felt no fear toward Li Canglan, who had managed to injure over a dozen Martial Artists single-handedly.
"My lord, this person abducted a child from our Qian family and injured us. Please, my lord, make the decision for us!"
Seeing the Patrol Guard arrive, the burly captain immediately began to cry out in grievance.
But the look he shot at Li Canglan was filled with malice.
Seriously injuring others without cause was an absolute provocation against the laws of Shenxia Country.
For the Patrol Guard, this was absolutely intolerable!
The Patrol Guard captain signaled his subordinates to check the injuries of the Qian family thugs first.
"Captain, the arms haven't been severed for long. The blade was very fast and sharp, so there is still a possibility of reattachment."
The Patrol Guard captain nodded and ordered his subordinates to summon a healer from the Martial Artist hospital.
Only then did he look at Li Canglan with caution.
"Regardless of your reasons, committing violence in the street is evidence of a crime!"
Keer shouted worriedly,
"That's not how it happened!"
The Patrol Guard captain frowned slightly.
He could also tell that Li Canglan and the little girl didn't look like they were involved in an abduction at all.
They looked more like siblings.
Li Canglan shielded Keer behind him and looked at the captain calmly.
"Captain, may we step aside to speak?"
The Patrol Guard were official personnel, after all.
Li Canglan did not want to fight the Patrol Guard.
"The law shows no mercy. Whatever you have to say, say it after we return to the Patrol Guard."
The Patrol Guard captain stuck to his principles.
Regardless, it was a fact that Li Canglan had injured people.
This was the reality captured by surveillance cameras.
It wouldn't change based on whether it was an abduction or not.
Facing someone so stubborn, Li Canglan had nothing to say.
"Then I can at least make a phone call, right?"
"Fine, I'd like to see who you can bring in!"
The Patrol Guard captain snorted coldly.
In his eyes, the other party was just a spoiled rich kid acting lawlessly because of his connections.
He wasn't afraid of the other party finding some powerful backer.
Their Patrol Guard dealt specifically with those powerful elites!
As long as there was evidence, whoever it was would have to pay a heavy price!
"Captain, he seems to be our Luofeng City's new Zhuangyuan."
Among the Patrol Guard, someone found Li Canglan familiar but didn't recognize him at first.
After all, they had only glanced at him a few times while on duty.
They never expected that Li Canglan, who had finished the big exam early, would appear in such a place.
Only after taking out his phone and looking again did he confirm Li Canglan's identity.
Although the rankings hadn't been released, anyone with a brain could guess.
This year, within the entire region under the jurisdiction of Hanghai Base City,
the title of Zhuangyuan belonged to none other than Li Canglan.
"Zhuangyuan?"
The captain frowned, feeling uncharacteristically hesitant.
The Zhuangyuan represented the strongest Genius of the region.
After the big exam concluded, he would likely be interviewed by many media outlets!
If this got out, that their Luofeng City's Zhuangyuan had been dragged into the Patrol Guard?
How would they explain this?
Did they not want Luofeng City to save Face?
The team member hesitated, then quietly went to the captain's side and whispered a sentence.
Then, everyone saw the captain's pupils dilate in shock.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Although his voice was soft, anyone could hear the shock in his tone.
"It is absolutely true, Captain. Just check the internet."
The captain subconsciously took out his phone and logged into an app.
Information about the big exam immediately caught his eye.
At least 80% of the content in any post was about Li Canglan, this new Zhuangyuan.
While other Geniuses like Xie Tengfei and Huang Qilin combined accounted for less than 20% of the discussion.
This level of discussion was too exaggerated!
Because he was highly likely to become the Zhuangyuan of the entire Base City based on just half a day's results,
Li Canglan's image was almost becoming that of a hero for Luofeng City in the mouths of many!
If the Patrol Guard really arrested such a person, they would have to consider the impact of public opinion!
On the other side, Li Canglan had already made the call.
"Old Fu, I'm on a mission. Please have your Patrol Guard clear the way."
On the other end of the line, Captain Fu had black lines on his forehead.
Who are you calling Old Fu?
Are we that close?
I am your damn superior!
And the direct one at that!
However, Captain Fu had also watched the city-wide broadcast.
He naturally knew the value of Li Canglan, this Base City Zhuangyuan.
Li Canglan was in high spirits right now, plus he had previously forced Li Canglan into the Patrol Guard.
This guy probably held quite a bit of resentment.
Calling him Old Fu was already giving him, the Commander Fu, some Face.
"What mission are you on?"
Out of respect for the work, Captain Fu still asked.
"Old Fu, when I handle things, you can rest assured."
Hearing this calm sentence from Li Canglan,
veins popped out on Captain Fu's forehead on the spot.
You've already alarmed the Patrol Guard, and you still want me to rest assured?
After a long while, Captain Fu sighed.
"Give the phone to him."
Upon receiving Captain Fu's reply, Li Canglan tossed the phone directly to the Patrol Guard captain opposite him.
The captain was still in shock and hurriedly caught the phone in a flurry.
He had already decided to report this matter to Commander Fu after returning.
By then, no matter what happened, Commander Fu would take the responsibility.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel excited about his own wit.
"Hello…"
Before the Patrol Guard captain could finish, he heard a familiar voice from the other end of the phone.
"He is my man. You all should withdraw."
The captain was stunned. This voice, was it Commander Fu?
Having not received a reply from the captain for a while, Captain Fu's voice turned cold.
"What? Was what I said not clear enough?"
"No... no!"
The captain replied repeatedly, and after hanging up, he held the phone with both hands and respectfully returned it to Li Canglan.
This change in attitude left the Qian family thugs dumbfounded.
Before, they had an attitude of being willing to risk it all to bring down the other party's backer.
Now he was suddenly chickening out?
Was this still the Patrol Guard they knew?
"It was a misunderstanding earlier, apologies."
After bowing and apologizing to Li Canglan, the Patrol Guard group left quickly.
Leaving behind the Qian family thugs, who were filled with fear.
"I... I warn you, we are people from the Qian family!"
The Qian family thug with the severed hand crawled backward in fear.
"This little girl is someone our family head is keeping a close eye on."
"If you kill us, even if you are a Zhuangyuan, no one will be able to protect you!"
Li Canglan extended his little finger and dug in his ear.
Then he blew the earwax onto the thug's Face.
"Are you threatening me?"
