Chapter 432: Chapter 432

The more respectfully the middle-aged police officer treated Ding Fan, the more curious Li Qishan became about Ding Fan's identity. At that moment, she followed him into the Tianwan Clubhouse.

As soon as Li Qishan entered the clubhouse, she was shocked by the scene before her eyes.

At that moment, her father, Mayor Li Jianfeng, was personally welcoming them, currently in the clubhouse lobby, warmly holding Mu Zi's hand and talking.

Li Qishan's father was the mayor, a high-ranking official. The fact that such a person was personally welcoming someone indicated the importance of their guests.

What kind of background did this man and woman have? Li Qishan wondered silently…

Just as Ding Fan and Li Qishan had entered the clubhouse and were asking the receptionist for Mayor Li's location, Mayor Li had already come out to meet them.

"Mu Zi, you've become more and more beautiful... ha ha..." Mayor Li had come over and was directly holding Mu Zi's hand, laughing as he spoke, looking very affectionate.

Mayor Li Jianfeng, at the age of about forty-five to forty-six, did not resemble a frail scholar. His stride was bold and impressive, quite befitting of a martial artist.

"Uncle Li, it's really not easy to get in here, we had quite a challenge getting here…" Mu Zi said, pouting.

Having faced some difficulty at the entrance, the little fairy couldn't just let it go.

Mayor Li Jianfeng's expression immediately turned solemn.

Mu Zi's grandfather was his former superior, and now he is the leader of an influential group. How could he explain to Elder Mu that his granddaughter had faced difficulties on his turf? Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝔫𝔢𝔱

"Who was the fool who dared to mess with Mu Zi... Uncle Li will take care of him for you," Mayor Li Jianfeng said with utmost seriousness.

"Dad…" At that moment, Li Qishan had run over to them.

The person who had given Ding Fan and Mu Zi a hard time was none other than Li Qishan herself.

Though Li Qishan was usually very domineering, she was actually quite fearful of her father.

Even though she still didn't know Mu Zi's identity, the fact that her father personally went to greet her indicated that she was no ordinary person.

If her father found out that the person who offended Mu Zi was his own daughter, wouldn't that be disastrous?

"Qi San... you've come at the right time. Let me introduce you, this is my old superior's granddaughter, Mu Zi..." Mayor Li Jianfeng said, then pointing at Li Qishan towards Mu Zi, he continued. "Mu Zi, this is my daughter... Li Qishan. You two are about the same age, you should help each other out."

The granddaughter of an old superior?

Upon hearing her father's introduction to Mu Zi, Li Qishan's mind reeled.

Mayor Li Jianfeng had mentioned his old superior to Li Qishan, a highly respected figure in the military, rumored to now be part of a secretive and even more prestigious organization...

At that moment, Li Qishan was truly startled; she hadn't expected that she had offended such a figure.

"Big sister Mu Zi... please take good care of me in the future!" Li Qishan immediately said with a face full of apologetic smiles.

"Brother Fan, sister Qi San is quite easy-going, isn't she?" Mu Zi said while smiling towards Ding Fan.

Li Qishan forced a smile.

Back when she was in front of Mu Zi, Li Qishan had acted very arrogantly. How could she not listen to Mu Zi's sarcastic tone, suggesting anything but ease; this was her way of throwing shades at Li Qishan.

"Big sister Mu Zi... I... what I did earlier…" Li Qishan began to explain.

Given Mu Zi's extremely powerful background, as the chief of police had mentioned earlier, not to mention herself, even her father couldn't afford to provoke her.

But Mu Zi didn't let Li Qishan finish, cutting her off directly. "Qi San must have found an exceptional prospective husband... My grandfather heard that sister Qi San is getting engaged tomorrow, and sent me in his stead to have a look..."

"Big sister Mu Zi... I was blind before, that man isn't worthy at all, his feelings for me aren't love, he was only after my family's influence... I have decided not to get engaged to Ruo Xin," Mu Zi said with a sincere expression.

Mayor Li Jianfeng looked on in disbelief at his daughter Li Qishan, he hadn't expected her to speak .

Mayor Li Jianfeng had always been opposed to Li Qishan's choice of fiancé.

Ruo Xin, young and handsome, was shrewd by nature; such a man's desperate pursuit of Li Qishan clearly had ulterior motives. He knew his own daughter all too well, short and overweight, she was not beautiful. It was impossible to believe that Ruo Xin was attracted to her based on her looks.

Thus, Mayor Li Jianfeng had always opposed this marriage. But Li Qishan was very persistent, and he felt helpless.

Yesterday, Ruo Xin was arrested, and Li Qishan had repeatedly sought out Mayor Li Jianfeng. Since Li Qishan and Ruo Xin had exploited Mayor Li Jianfeng's influence to deploy the police and special forces, Li Qishan was vague about the reasons for Ruo Xin's arrest.

Even so, Mayor Li Jianfeng had guessed the reason and had no intentions of rescuing Ruo Xin. Seeing Li Qishan's arrival today, he thought she was still coming for Ruo Xin's sake, but her current demeanor surprised him.

Li Qishan had her own reasons for speaking thus about Ruo Xin.

Ruo Xin originally took the initiative to provoke Ding Fan, and then he was captured.

As the offspring of a high-ranking official in Yanjing, Mu Zi acted like a little lamb in front of Ding Fan, someone even the high-ranking officials themselves had to obey. How could Li Qishan dare to provoke him?

At this moment, Li Qishan quickly changed her stance and distanced herself from Ruo Xin.

With the backing of her father's status, it was easy for Li Qishan to find handsome men; she didn't need to risk herself and her father over one.

Li Qishan's intentions could not deceive the fairy, but the fairy did not continue to make things difficult.

This time, Mu Zi was here on behalf of Elder Mu; making things too tense wasn't ideal.

A few people exchanged some inconsequential words, and only then did Li Jianfeng lead Ding Fan and the others into a private room.

Li Jianfeng was very amiable and carried an air of valor. Ding Fan had a good impression of him.

The group chatted for a while, discussing mundane family matters and inquiring about Elder Mu's health. Finally, Li Jianfeng also had a brief conversation with Ding Fan.

Although his contact with Ding Fan was brief, Li Jianfeng could see Mu Zi's special regard for Ding Fan and, after some discussion, he found Ding Fan's conversation to be extraordinary, neither servile nor overbearing... He had a high regard for Ding Fan.

As Li Jianfeng still had some other work in the city, Mu Zi and Ding Fan did not wish to bother him too much, and they soon stood up to say their goodbyes.

Li Jianfeng invited Mu Zi and Ding Fan to definitely come for a meal at his house the next day. Mu Zi nodded in agreement.

Originally, Mu Zi was here to attend Li Qishan's engagement, but now that the engagement was canceled, Mu Zi and Ding Fan planned to head back to Yanjing straight after dining at Mayor Li's house the next day.

Ding Fan and Mu Zi left the Tianwan Clubhouse and aimlessly wandered the streets.

The two did not know how far they had walked when they suddenly saw a crowd ahead, seemingly panicking and running wildly.

"There are... zombies..."

Hearing this term, Ding Fan was startled; the local atmosphere was radiant and sunny, how could zombies appear here?

Without saying a word, Ding Fan looked towards the running crowd.

Behind the crowd, a ragged beggar was walking slowly, resembling a zombie from the movies.

"Brother Fan... look!" Mu Zi also saw the 'zombie' and pointed it out to Ding Fan.

Ding Fan's brows furrowed tightly, the zombie-like figure moving slowly, hands swinging continuously.

Perhaps due to the zombie's appearance, two police officers rushed over directly, intending to subdue it.

However, the zombie was surprisingly strong, and the two police officers were immediately thrown away by it.

Mu Zi immediately sprang into action, charging towards the zombie.

As a member of Team 3567, Mu Zi couldn't just stand by in such a situation.

Bang bang bang... Mu Zi rushed forward, throwing five or six consecutive palm strikes.

Although Mu Zi's cultivation was not as high as Ding Fan's, it was around the Human Level sixth or seventh grade; thus her flurry of palm strikes forced the zombie to retreat several steps.

"Ahh..." The zombie let out a mournful roar, then continued to lunge at Mu Zi.

The zombie's movements were slow, but as it charged at Mu Zi, it suddenly spewed a stream of blue gas.

Mu Zi was momentarily stunned; she hadn't expected the zombie to emit such a thing, and although she didn't know what the gas was, she knew it couldn't be good.

While Mu Zi was stunned, a figure flashed by, lifting her up. Mu Zi cried out, and by the time she realized what was happening, she found that she had already been pulled aside.

Mu Zi turned to see that it was none other than Ding Fan who had grabbed her.

"Stay aside." Ding Fan told Mu Zi, then charged towards the zombie.

Mu Zi obediently retreated to the side.

As long as Ding Fan took action, there was nothing in the world that couldn't be resolved.

And at that moment, the sound of sirens filled the air; several black police cars stopped nearby, and soon after, about a dozen police officers surrounded the zombie...
