Xu Mo was dumbfounded!
What the hell was going on?!
Police raid? You've got to be kidding!
This was a high-end club, and a VIP suite no less.
Forget about raids.
With connections upstairs, the police usually turned a blind eye.
As long as things didn't get too out of hand, it was generally fine.
In his three lifetimes, this was Xu Mo's first time being caught in a raid while doing such things!
Being raided was bad enough, but why now of all times?
Xu Mo felt that ever since his latest reincarnation,
He constantly sensed the deep malice and difficulty from the plot!
"Little Mo, take care of your health!" His mother's amused voice came through the phone.
Xu Mo wanted to cry. "Mom, what are you saying? It's not what you think, don't get the wrong idea!"
Xu's Mother spoke earnestly: "I understand, young people have their needs. It's good that you have energy, and it's actually better this way, at least you're not fixated on Shen Manni. Just try to restrain yourself after marriage. Qiaoqiao is a girl after all, she's sensitive. She might not express her grievances openly, but you'll have to live together."
Zhou Qiaoqiao, sensitive?
No! Mom, you don't understand that woman at all!
She's the top female antagonist, comparable to Empress Wu Zetian!
That female devil is anything but sensitive.
You don't know what she did to me in the conference room earlier.
Good lord, it was intense~
Ahem...
Xu Mo was on the verge of tears. "Mom, Zhou Qiaoqiao isn't as simple as she appears."
Xu's Mother: "Of course I know that. How else could my future daughter-in-law help you manage the vast Xu Family Business?"
Xu Mo's head was spinning.
His mother had misunderstood him again.
There was no way to clear this up now.
Another round of aggressive knocking came from outside.
"Police! Open up immediately!"
"Don't try to destroy any evidence. We have sophisticated detection equipment. If you don't want to spend years in prison, cooperate now!"
Girl No. 14 looked panicked.
Like Xu Mo, this was her first time encountering a police raid!
It might happen occasionally at other clubs,
But this place was the cream of the crop.
They had an understanding with the police station, and even when officers came by, it was just for show.
How could they be banging on doors today, and a VIP suite no less?
Xu Mo: "Mom, I'll call you back later."
Xu's Mother: "Can you handle this on your own, Mo? If not, call me back and I'll have your father pull some strings to get you out."
A doting mother often spoils her child.
Xu Mo really felt like crying now. He had done nothing wrong, so he had nothing to fear.
He just hadn't done anything bad.
The knocking outside grew more intense!
Xu Mo had no time to explain, so he hung up.
"Young Master Xu, what should we do now?" Girl No. 14 asked nervously, her face pale.
Xu Mo's mouth twitched slightly. "Open the door and let them search! We haven't done anything illegal, what's there to be afraid of?"
He got out of bed, feeling somewhat angry.
It was all because of these people!
They made his mother misunderstand him.
Damn, what rotten luck.
Whoosh--------
"Alright, alright, no need to break the door down!" Xu Mo grumbled.
"Why did it take you so long to open the door?!" A beautiful female officer among the five or six policemen outside demanded sternly.
Her long black hair was tied up, framing a delicate oval face. Her slightly arched eyebrows gave her an air of heroism.
"It's her?" Xu Mo was stunned.
In that moment, Xu Mo felt the world was too small.
The woman before him was Yang Jingxuan, a young police officer with a strong sense of justice – a true cop flower.
You think that's all there is to her identity?
In fact, she has another important role.
It's the reason she dares to conduct such extensive searches in these places, and why no one dares to touch her.
She's the second young miss of the Yang Family, the foremost of the four great families!
Of course,
She doesn't believe her career has any connection to her family background.
In her mind, all darkness will eventually be shattered by justice.
In other words, she's a hothouse flower, a righteous companion who makes it her mission to uphold justice and do good deeds every day.
Her obvious flaw is that she's easily manipulated.
Later on, the protagonist Lin Fan also exploits Yang Jingxuan's overzealous sense of justice.
He schemes to frame Xu Mo.
Making Yang Jingxuan personally send Xu Mo to prison.
On one hand, it portrays the protagonist Lin Fan as a kind-hearted fellow.
On the other hand, it makes Yang Jingxuan's impression of Xu Mo hit rock bottom.
A classic trope in feel-good novels.
Xu Mo himself never blamed Yang Jingxuan.
Passionate, righteous companions exist in every era.
With limited life experience and a strong hatred for evil, they're extremely susceptible to manipulation by those with ulterior motives.
You could say that one's personality shapes one's destiny.
"Xu Mo?" Yang Jingxuan was equally surprised when she saw him.
The descendants of Magic City's top families generally know each other.
Because they all attend the best schools in Magic City from a young age.
Come to think of it,
Xu Mo and Yang Jingxuan were elementary school classmates when they were young.
Well, Xu Mo was Yang Jingxuan's senior, he was in second grade when she was in first grade.
Because Xu Mo was in the same class as Yang Jingxuan's older sister, and the sisters told each other everything.
Whenever the bell rang for recess,
Yang Jingxuan would always be the first to appear outside the classroom door.
Looking for her sister.
Young Xu Mo didn't know if the teacher had done it on purpose,
But Yang Jingxuan's older sister Yang Jingying was assigned as his desk mate.
When they were little, the young Yang Jingxuan was adorably silly.
Xu Mo felt playful and decided to teach her to distinguish right from wrong, to teach her about justice.
He spun tale after tale.
After Xu Mo's meticulous and patient tutoring,
A new legendary female knight of justice was born.
Wherever there was injustice, little Yang Jingxuan would appear.
Whether it was little girls fighting over dolls,
Or little boys getting into fistfights over disagreements,
Yang Jingxuan would always get involved.
And Yang Jingxuan's admiration for Xu Mo grew day by day!
This peculiar bond lasted from elementary school all the way through middle school.
By high school, they had mostly gone their separate ways.
Once upon a time, the dragon-slaying youth eventually became the evil dragon himself.
The girl was still that same girl.
But the boy was no longer the boy he once was.
To say there wasn't the slightest change would be a lie.
He had grown up, hadn't he?
Ahem...
"Get out of the way! Police search, stand aside with your hands on your head and behave!" Yang Jingxuan brushed past Xu Mo with a cold expression and entered the room.
Xu Mo snapped out of his reverie and looked at a pot-bellied man in a suit.
Feeling Xu Mo's gaze, the manager immediately apologized with a miserable expression.
"I'm so sorry, Young Master Xu. I had no idea Miss Yang would be on duty today."
