Chapter 270: Chapter 229: Whoever Can Marry Her Will Be Set for Life

"Pathetically weak. With your level of cultivation, you actually dare to seek revenge on me? You’re just asking for it."

After sending the bald man with the thick gold chain flying with a single punch, Lin Li, who had been a little angry, immediately calmed down.

Lin Li noticed a few passersby shrink back in fear at the sight. He figured they were most likely calling the police.

He just didn’t know if they had called the Security Bureau or the Superpower Administration Bureau.

If they called the Security Bureau, they had obviously called the wrong department. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Lin Li thought for a moment, then took his phone out of his pocket and dialed the Superpower Administration Bureau.

"Hello, this is the Superpower Administration Bureau."

"I want to report a crime."

"I was ambushed by three Cultivators. They wanted to break my arms and legs."

"I’m fine now. I’ve already subdued them..."

"My current location is..."

After reporting the incident to the Superpower Administration Bureau, Lin Li stood where he was, playing on his phone while waiting for the Investigators to arrive.

As for the three guys, who were badly injured and still wailing in pain, they wouldn’t be getting up anytime soon. He didn’t have to worry about them taking the chance to escape.

A few minutes later, Security Officers from the Security Bureau were the first to arrive on the scene. It seemed the passersby had called the Security Bureau after all.

The Security Officers got a rundown of the situation from Lin Li, and then they also waited for the Investigators to arrive.

The bald man with the thick gold chain and his two lackeys, who had been taken out by Lin Li, naturally knew what their fate would be.

Under normal circumstances, they would have definitely tried to find a way to escape.

But alas, their current physical condition didn’t allow for it! The pain from their injuries was so intense they couldn’t even stand.

Right now, the three of them just wanted the Investigators to hurry up and arrive, take them back to the Superpower Administration Bureau, and then let the Bureau’s medical staff treat them.

After receiving Lin Li’s call, the Superpower Administration Bureau immediately dispatched three Investigators to the scene.

TAP, TAP, TAP...

The sound of hurried footsteps came from a distance. Everyone at the scene saw three uniformly-clad Investigators striding over.

’Finally,’ Lin Li grumbled to himself as he saw the three Investigators walking toward him.

The Investigators handled these kinds of things with practiced ease. After getting the details from Lin Li, they pulled the surveillance footage from the area for evidence and then asked him to accompany them back to the Superpower Administration Bureau to give a statement.

"Officer, can I drive my own car and follow you to the Superpower Administration Bureau? That way, I can go straight home after giving my statement instead of having to come back here to get my car," Lin Li asked.

"You can," the lead Investigator nodded.

Afterward, the badly injured bald man with the thick gold chain and his two lackeys were handcuffed and put into a police vehicle.

Lin Li drove his van, following the Investigators’ car toward the Superpower Administration Bureau.

...

A little after nine at night, Lin Li returned home after giving his statement at the Superpower Administration Bureau.

He had learned from the Investigators that the bald man with the thick gold chain and his two lackeys had long criminal records.

This time, they were caught red-handed attacking him, so they were definitely headed for prison.

Furthermore, they might also be connected to some other cases the Investigators couldn’t speak about openly. Now that they were caught, with all the charges added up, they were probably going to be locked away for a very long time.

As the saying goes, disasters sent from heaven can be endured, but you can’t escape the ones you bring upon yourself.

If those three hadn’t tried to avenge their captured companion tonight, they wouldn’t have all been caught in one fell swoop.

WHOOSH...

The air conditioner in the living room blew out a stream of cool air. Lin Li took half an uneaten watermelon from the fridge, returned to the living room, and sank into the soft sofa. He ate the watermelon with a spoon while watching the news on TV.

"In other news, a ten-thousand-ton-class ocean-going fishing vessel under the Su Group of Yuwan Town was attacked by a marine Mutant Beast on its return journey...

Our reporter interviewed Su Group Chairman, Mr. Su Chen, who stated that the crew of the vessel are all safe and there were no casualties."

The news anchor paused, then had the director cut to the interview footage with Su Group’s Chairman, Su Chen, from earlier today.

"The crew’s morale is stable. This setback will not affect our group’s ocean-going fishing operations..."

As he ate his chilled watermelon, Lin Li watched the handsome, middle-aged man being interviewed on TV and thought to himself.

’This Su Group Chairman is a magnate! I wonder if he has a daughter or something?

He’s so handsome, his daughter probably isn’t bad-looking either. If he has one, and if she isn’t married yet, whoever marries her would soar. They’d be set for life.’

"Achoo...!" Su Yue, who had just gotten out of the shower and was wrapped in a pink strapless bath towel, was sitting on a soft sofa watching a variety show when she suddenly sneezed.

Zheng Qiuyi, who had just finished using a face mask, was chatting on the phone with her husband. Hearing his daughter sneeze, he immediately asked with concern if she had caught a cold.
