"I want to see who’s disrespecting me?"

Inside the police station’s lobby. Xiao Tian had just had Wang Meng throw Yan Xing out, and before long, a voice echoed through.

Then, a middle-aged man walked in with a cold smile, immediately drawing everyone’s attention.

"Bian."

Upon seeing Bian Yanguo arrive, a few squad leaders in the station came over to greet him, internally feeling a bit worried for Xiao Tian. They didn’t expect him to provoke such a person.

The whole lobby became somewhat quiet. Everyone in the police station knew this was a tricky situation. Bian Yanguo was a powerful figure in Shanghai, with extensive connections and a brotherly relationship with many high-ranking city officials. He was not someone easy to provoke.

Yet, Xiao Tian’s expression remained calm and unchanged.

"It’s actually Bian Yanguo?"

The faces of the few car owners present changed upon seeing Bian Yanguo. Clearly, they weren’t unfamiliar with him.

"It’s over." The thoughts of the car owners were now quite unanimous.

That is, their hopes for compensation were dashed.

"Sigh. I didn’t expect Bian Yanguo to come personally. I’ve heard even people from the main bureau have to show him respect. Looks like we’ll just have to accept our bad luck today!" Many car owners sighed helplessly.

Among them, quite a few were already thinking of backing out, fearing future retaliation from Bian Yanguo.

With Bian Yanguo backing him up, Yan Xing became even more arrogant.

Yan Xing stared coldly at Wang Meng. How dare he lay hands on him earlier? He must ruin him later! Yan Xing thought viciously.

"Boss, it’s that guy. Not only did he refuse to release people, but he also didn’t show you respect!" Yan Xing pointed at Xiao Tian, who was standing in the center of the lobby.

Hearing this, Bian Yanguo turned his gaze over. Originally intending to see who in this little sub-station dared to disrespect him, his eyes widened in shock when they landed on Xiao Tian.

"Presumptuous! Looking for death!" Bian Yanguo shouted angrily.

The scene went quiet. Wu Xing and Jerry were full of smugness, while the police on site could only feel sympathetic toward Xiao Tian. But there was nothing they could do. They completely lacked the authority to intervene with someone of Bian Yanguo’s level.

Now, they could only hope that Bai Tao, who had a good relationship with Xiao Tian, would speak up for him.

And Yan Xing was extremely excited, directly pointing at Xiao Tian and shouting, "Did you hear? Presumptuous, looking for death!"

Slap!

However, as soon as Yan Xing finished speaking, Bian Yanguo slapped him right across the face.

The scene was silent. Everyone was in shock, bewildered.

What was happening? Was he hitting his own man?

Even Yan Xing was utterly confused, clutching his face and looking at Bian Yanguo, thinking he must have hit the wrong person, "Boss, why did you hit me?"

Bian Yanguo’s next words shocked everyone further.

"Apologize to Young Master Xiao at once!"

Apologize to Young Master Xiao!

One phrase left everyone stunned. Initially, the crowd thought Bian Yanguo would make things difficult for Xiao Tian. But unexpectedly, the scene reversed, turning into an apology to Xiao Tian!

Bian Yanguo directly looked at Xiao Tian, bowing his head and saying, "I’m sorry, Young Master Xiao. My subordinates were out of line. I hope you won’t hold it against them!"

The people on site were dumbfounded.

What exactly was happening? Even the car owners were taken aback. What was the real identity of this policeman, for Bian Yanguo to show such respect?

At this moment, Bian Yanguo was like a subordinate in front of Xiao Tian, not daring to make any fuss.

Bian Yanguo looked at Xiao Tian nervously. He distinctly remembered Xiao Tian single-handedly fighting off Jin Feng and his men before, defying bullets, and toppling cars with unmatched skill. He was at the scene back then!

Someone like this was not someone he could afford to offend.

Bian Yanguo spoke in a low voice, "Young Master Xiao, this man indeed is an esteemed guest of our company. We have important cooperation underway, and I hope you can release them."

Xiao Tian coldly replied, "I stand by my words. If you want to take them, compensate the car owners. All modified cars will be confiscated!"

"Yes...yes. We will compensate, we will compensate."

Bian Yanguo quickly nodded. Xiao Tian agreeing to release them was already a blessing. How could he dare say anything else?

Faced with reality, Jerry naturally was extremely embarrassed, but he also understood that without paying now, leaving the police station today was out of the question. Ultimately, Jerry and Wu Xing each took out one hundred thousand yuan before they could leave the station.

After leaving the police station, the group got into a car. Jerry and Wu Xing sat in the same vehicle.

On the way, Jerry furiously cursed, clearly venting the frustration pent up for a long time, "Worthless! Can’t even handle a small-time cop."

"Damn it, made me suffer this indignity today!"

Wu Xing lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Honestly, Wu Xing hadn’t expected this today either. Why would Bian Yanguo show such respect to a mere cop? Could that cop be hiding some real identity?

At this point, Jerry snorted coldly, "Even your boss is useless. Such a disappointment! Hmph, all Huaxia People are cowards! Hmph, as for that little cop, I’ll have someone handle him soon enough!"

That afternoon, Xiao Tian returned to Lin Bingxuan’s villa.

Recently, news about that gang of thieves had become scarce. They hadn’t committed a crime for over half a month, making Xiao Tian’s life leisurely once again.

If he wasn’t out driving around, he was spending intimate time with Lin Bingxuan. Life was indeed quite pleasant.

At this moment, Xiao Tian was lounging on the couch with Bingxuan when suddenly, a news report aired on the television.

The news mainly stated that in the coming days, the foreign "Nate Company" would be holding a cultural artifacts exhibition in Shanghai. The exhibited artifacts were all suspected to be lost relics from the Yuanming Garden.

Upon hearing this news, Lin Bingxuan, sitting beside him, was visibly angered and exclaimed, "These foreigners. They stole our things years ago, and now they want to flaunt them in our faces. Absolutely outrageous!"

Xiao Tian looked at the relics displayed in the news footage, furrowing his brows. Why would these foreign companies hold an exhibition with artifacts they looted long ago, without any reason? Were they trying to stir up trouble?

It’s known that artifacts of this caliber are immensely valuable; once the exhibition opens, countless factions will surely target them.

Xiao Tian’s instincts told him that this foreign company’s exhibition in Huaxia would not be as simple as it appeared.

He murmured, "These days, the theft gang hasn’t made a move. Could it have some connection to this artifact exhibition?"

While Xiao Tian was pondering over this mystery, later that night, he received a call from Yu Ningxue.

"Xiao Tian, I’ve found the footage of the theft gang from the other day!"
