Chapter 263 239: Be Careful

Xu Chunliang: "The thing you promised me?"Mei Ru Xue replied evasively, "It's snowing!"

Xu Chunliang looked up and indeed felt a slight chill fall on his face. The snow was not heavy; to be precise, it was just starting to snow with tiny salt-like particles.

Mei Ru Xue surprisingly poured herself a cup of wine into her small teacup and took a sip, wanting to bolster her courage this way.

In the past, she had never been afraid of giving reports in front of the entire town, but in front of Xu Chunliang, she was actually a bit timid. Mei Ru Xue realized that his shadow had successfully imprinted itself on her heart.

Mei Ru Xue took out her phone and found a piece of music, "At the End of the Sky." She danced a section of ethnic dance in front of the bonfire, moving lightly and gracefully, her body as light as a swallow, her waist as flexible as clouds, her arms supple and boneless. She swayed with elegance, each step blooming like a lotus, her movements sometimes like a wild goose soaring at the end of the sky, sometimes like a butterfly fluttering among a hundred flowers.

Her gaze was like a trickling stream; her beautiful eyes were like stars in the night sky.

Xu Chunliang was completely enraptured, as if drinking fine wine, unable to control himself.

When the dance ended, Xu Chunliang clapped his hands until they turned red: "Wonderful! Wonderful! This dance belongs only in heaven, rarely seen on earth."

Mei Ru Xue blushed at his praise: "Alright, you've put me on such a pedestal; aren't you afraid I'll fall?"

"If you fall, I'll catch you." Xu Chunliang offered her a toast.

Mei Ru Xue gave him a slightly reproachful look and surprisingly drank the cup of wine again, her face adorably flushed.

Xu Chunliang said, "I have a small request."

Mei Ru Xue replied, "Don't make any unreasonable demands." She felt like he was becoming increasingly dangerous.

Xu Chunliang said, "You can do it. From now on, you can only dance this dance for me to see."

Mei Ru Xue looked at Xu Chunliang with some surprise. He was indeed domineering, but she blinked and said, "Then you can't show your sword skills to anyone else either."

"Alright! I'll only be a fool for you!"

Xu Chunliang reached out to make a pact with Mei Ru Xue by clapping hands, but seized the opportunity to grab her delicate hand and gently pulled her toward his embrace. Mei Ru Xue symbolically struggled to pull away, but in her heart, she had already given up resisting, believing she couldn't withstand his strength.

Since resistance was futile, struggling became meaningless. The distance between them grew closer, Mei Ru Xue's eyelashes lowered, her gaze fell to the ground, and her heart beat ever more wildly.

"What are you doing? I'm talking to you! What are you two doing there?"

In the distance, an old, beat-up van drove over, marked with the words "Comprehensive Law Enforcement Office." Mei Ru Xue hurriedly pulled her hand away from Xu Chunliang. Indeed, Hu Shan Town was too small, but how could a car come here so late?

The van stopped in front of them, and three strapping men climbed out, the leader with a mustache, glaring at Xu Chunliang and shouting, "What are you doing? Got nothing better to do? Came here to start a fire? What if it causes a fire?"

Xu Chunliang looked at the group, feeling an unexplained anger. His good moment was almost ruined by them. Why was he suddenly so eager to punch someone?

Mei Ru Xue hid behind Xu Chunliang, fearing being recognized. In fact, she didn't recognize the three men, but too many people in Hu Shan Town knew her.

Because many projects on Weishan Island have successively started, the workload of the Comprehensive Law Enforcement Office has increased several times, and recently, many temporary workers have been hired.

Mei Ru Xue gently tugged at Xu Chunliang's arm, indicating to him not to lose his temper and to just deal with the few people and send them off.

Xu Chunliang understood that Mei Ru Xue didn't want others to know they were meeting there and said with a smile, "Brothers, sorry, we're just having a picnic. I'll clean up afterward, don't worry, there definitely won't be any environmental damage."

"Picnicking? Haha, don't think we don't know what you two are doing."

Xu Chunliang got angry: "Watch how you speak."

"Oh, still acting tough with me? I'll tell you, we're from the Hu Shan Town Comprehensive Law Enforcement Office."

Xu Chunliang heard him stating his affiliation and asked, "Huang Yong is your director, right?" Even Huang Yong meets him with caution, let alone his subordinates, but Xu Chunliang didn't recognize any of these people.

"Spare me your tricks, dropping a name to fool us? Call him."

Mei Ru Xue was really speechless, how did they run into such rigid fools.

Fortunately, Xu Chunliang didn't intend to make things big. He called Huang Yong, thinking that as long as Huang Yong said something, the current trouble would be resolved. However, unexpectedly, Huang Yong had turned off his phone at this time.

The three Great Han looked at Xu Chunliang and chuckled: "Kid, we've seen many like you. Call him, why aren't you calling? Don't think you can scare us by dropping a name, stop the nonsense, just pay the fine obediently."

Xu Chunliang's temper was quite good tonight, suppressing his anger he said: "How much do you want?"

The leading Great Han said: "Violating government regulations, lighting a fire on the grassland without permission, a fine of one thousand yuan. Violating government regulations, cooking in a restricted area, a fine of one thousand yuan, a total of two thousand yuan."

Mei Ru Xue was secretly furious. Government regulations at the drop of a hat? How come I'm not aware of such regulations? Isn't this just making up excuses to charge fees privately? When I get back and figure out if this has anything to do with Huang Yong, I'll definitely have him removed.

Given Xu Chunliang's temper, there was no way he would give them the money. He might even end up giving them a good beating, but he also understood Mei Ru Xue's mindset. It would be best to keep today's incident from escalating, get through it for now, and then get the money back from Huang Yong tomorrow.

"Do you have receipts?"

Xu Chunliang took out his wallet, drew out two thousand yuan, and prepared to hand it over to them.

"You still want receipts? What were you two just doing?"

"Eating?"

"Eating? Heh, it wasn't just eating, was it? Misbehaving, weren't you? Do you believe I'll arrest you?" The moustached one was extremely arrogant, poking Xu Chunliang's chest with his finger while speaking.

Xu Chunliang couldn't hold back any longer and said to Mei Ru Xue behind him, "You go wait over there for me."

Mei Ru Xue, though silent, was also furious. What kind of people had Huang Yong hired that were so filthy-mouthed and quick to insult? Did he still want to be a director?

Mei Ru Xue walked to the side, unable to hold back anymore—she herself wanted to hit someone.

Xu Chunliang said, "Can't you guys speak with a little decency?"

"You're allowed to do unspeakable things but we're not allowed to talk about it?"

Xu Chunliang nodded with a smile, "Then I'll have to educate you on behalf of Huang Yong first." As soon as he finished speaking, he swung a punch, knocking down the lead moustached one. It didn't take much effort to deal with such people.

The other two were stunned. They didn't expect anyone would dare lay hands on law enforcement.

Taking advantage of their stunned state, Xu Chunliang kicked one guy away. The last one pulled out an anti-riot baton and aimed at Xu Chunliang's head, but Xu Chunliang grabbed the end of the baton, snatched it away, and slapped the person's face, making him spin in a circle before he fell to the ground.

Xu Chunliang said, "Ungrateful wretches."

He lifted the anti-riot baton and hit each of the three men, leaving them lying on the ground unable to get up for quite a while. Without showing them a bit of color, they wouldn't know life is full of dangers.

Mei Ru Xue urged him to leave quickly and try not to escalate the situation.

Xu Chunliang quickly tidied up, making sure to extinguish the campfire with water before leaving, eager to hit the road without worrying too much about cleanup.

He started the motorcycle and rode with Mei Ru Xue toward Hu Shan Town. The three guys hadn't gotten up yet, and it was only after the motorcycle drove away that the lead moustached one painfully got up.

He hadn't dared to get up before and, watching the departing motorcycle, quickly dialed a number: "Brother Dahai… someone violently resisted law enforcement… he's heading towards the town on a motorcycle… the plate number is…"

Mei Ru Xue was dressed in a military coat with a helmet, nestled behind Xu Chunliang, feeling a bit down. A perfectly good romantic night had been ruined by three uninvited guests, and they hadn't even had a chance to enjoy the hotpot.

She placed her hands around Xu Chunliang's waist, feeling incredibly safe and warm behind his back. Perhaps this was what security felt like.

The night wind howled past, allowing Mei Ru Xue to temporarily forget her troubles. Together with Xu Chunliang, she felt very reassured.

Remembering that Xu Chunliang had just drunk some wine, she reminded him to slow down.

Xu Chunliang nodded, slowed the bike according to her advice, and checked the rearview mirror. Seeing no vehicle following, it seemed the three guys had been intimidated enough not to pursue them.

Up ahead, headlights came on as a gold van drove towards them. As they got closer, the van suddenly switched to high beams, casting a blinding white light on Xu Chunliang's eyes. Then the van made a sudden exaggerated swerve, blocking the road.

Xu Chunliang was too late to brake, and the motorcycle crashed forward. Due to inertia, he was thrown off, with Mei Ru Xue holding onto him, both of them getting flung away together.

Luckily, Xu Chunliang had slowed down earlier due to Mei Ru Xue's advice, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Xu Chunliang's body wasn't impervious to bullets or anything like that, and he certainly didn't have any body-protecting Gang Qi; the fall was severe, leaving him dizzy and lightheaded. Thankfully, his helmet provided some protection.

After landing, he couldn't bother checking his injuries. He took off his helmet and the first thing he did was look for Mei Ru Xue, who was lying nearby. Her thick military coat cushioned her fall, though it was still painful, luckily only leaving scrapes and sparing her bones.

Xu Chunliang asked, "Xiaoxue, are you hurt?"

Mei Ru Xue shook her head, "I'm fine, and you?" Both of them thought of each other first.

Before Xu Chunliang could respond, seven men got out of the van, all wielding clubs. One of them raised an anti-riot baton and swung it horizontally towards Xu Chunliang's head.

Mei Ru Xue's eyes widened as she screamed, "Watch out!" She rushed forward to shield Xu Chunliang.
