Li Chonglou finally understood a truth: it's best not to offend this woman at any time, otherwise, he would be the one to suffer!
The rest of the journey was relatively safe. The people who had intercepted Fan Qianqian earlier seemed to have lost their route information, and no ambushes were seen along the way.
It wasn't until past seven o'clock that Li Chonglou finally brought Fan Qianqian back to Shangjing.
"Is my mission complete?"
"Leave your contact information. You can find me if anything comes up."
Li Chonglou's expression changed, "What would come up for me?"
Fan Qianqian grinned, "Do you really not know who you've offended?"
"When did I offend anyone?"
"Heh, just leave your contact information, and you won't regret it."
I wish I could say I'm regretting it right now!
Li Chonglou could only exchange contact information with him out of helplessness, and then Fan Qianqian got out of the car.
"What about this car? And will my two companions be alright?"
"Didn't you say they were Sister Feng's people? If you weren't lying to me, they should be fine."
Fan Qianqian waved his hand and turned to leave.
Damn it, I've been tricked again!
Li Chonglou then realized that this seemingly harmless fellow was actually more cunning than anyone else. He had only mentioned it briefly earlier, but this person had directly used it for verification.
No wonder he had been so quick to leave earlier. He was waiting for me here!
Fan Qianqian left, and this luxury car also became a big trouble. Li Chonglou drove it directly to a parking lot in a plaza and then hurried away.
The only good news now was that he had worn a mask the entire time. Even if they wanted to find someone, they might not be able to.
However, he did not expect that Fan Qianqian would turn around and sell him out.
"Hello, is this the Huang family? I know who stole your young master's car."
After leaving the plaza with the crowd, Li Chonglou contacted Sister Feng first.
"I've found what you wanted."
"Really? Location! No, I'll go to Platinum Tower. You wait for me there."
Sister Feng was obviously a little surprised. How many days had it been? The item was found so quickly. Initially, she had prepared herself for not getting it back.
The Platinum Tower she mentioned was a high-end establishment similar to the Feng Lou in the East District. Those without tens of millions in wealth couldn't even get through the door.
Li Chonglou hailed a taxi and took over half an hour to reach the main entrance of Platinum Tower.
Platinum Tower was located in the prosperous heart of Shangjing's central district. There was a five-star plaza here, which was also the shopping center of the entire Shangjing. Here, you could find people dressed in the latest fashion trends, but compared to them, Li Chonglou's attire appeared exceptionally simple.
Actually, saying it was simple was being polite. Relatively speaking, Li Chonglou's current attire was no different from someone begging on the street, especially after he had fought with Da Bao and been in a car accident.
Looking up at the hundred-story building, Li Chonglou couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.
A month ago, he was still a top-tier cultivator. Even if he hadn't truly reached the pinnacle, he at least had enough confidence in his future.
If he had more time, he might have had a chance to chase after those so-called peak powers.
Unfortunately, everything changed too quickly. Before he could even establish himself in the Heavenly Dao power, he was reduced to his current state with a single sentence.
Now, it was highly likely that he would never be able to return to that world.
Thinking of this, Li Chonglou couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, what are you doing? If you have nothing to do, hurry up and leave. Don't stand here."
A rough voice pulled Li Chonglou back from his thoughts. He turned to see a man in a security uniform holding a baton, pointing at him as he walked over.
His face was full of impatience.
Judging by appearance?
Li Chonglou's expression darkened.
"I don't think standing here is against the law."
The security guard looked to be around forty. People of this age usually made a living from a certain profession and wouldn't easily change jobs. However, generally speaking, people of this age should value their positions. This one, however, didn't seem to worry about Li Chonglou complaining at all.
That look of disdain and contempt was evident.
"With the way you're dressed, your presence here is already against the law. Don't you have any self-awareness? Oh, right, people like you probably wouldn't have any self-awareness, might not even know what that idiom means."
Li Chonglou, disguised as Hua Dong, was not much younger than him, but their clothing was worlds apart.
If he were truly an ordinary person, he would have no choice but to endure the hardship in such a situation, unable to afford offending them!
However, it seemed he was an ordinary person now too, wasn't he?
Thinking of this, the anger that had just risen in Li Chonglou immediately subsided. Things were different now, and he needed to curb his arrogance.
Li Chonglou shook his head and ignored the man.
Li Chonglou understood the underlying logic of the man's actions. What he had said earlier was just bluster; the country had no regulations against appearing in public places in certain attire.
On the contrary, making negative comments or even insulting someone's clothing in a public place was illegal. Of course, unless someone deliberately wore clothes from a certain island nation, Li Chonglou would also scold them if he saw them.
In other words, the security guard's main intention was to find a sense of superiority by targeting Li Chonglou. After all, some people who have been "dogs" for too long also crave to find someone of lower status to show off to.
If Li Chonglou argued with him, he would be the one to suffer.
Indeed, when Li Chonglou chose to ignore him, the man found himself unable to speak further. He wouldn't dare to make a move either, as Shangjing was still under strict anti-crime operations. He knew very well that this was also a time for some low-level officials to slack off and claim credit, even for minor altercations.
If they labeled you as involved in organized crime, you would have no recourse!
"Hmph, you just wait!"
The security guard suddenly uttered a threat and turned to leave. Li Chonglou didn't pay much attention at first, only glancing at his phone occasionally, waiting for Sister Feng to arrive.
Until four men with different hair colors suddenly entered his line of sight.
Did he call for backup?
Li Chonglou's brow immediately furrowed. He looked at the security guard not far away, who was staring at him with a cold smile.
He really was pushing his luck!
The four thugs immediately surrounded him. The leader was a man with a string of letters tattooed on his right cheek.
"Old man, you looking to die?"
"If you have the guts, then hit me."
Li Chonglou stared at him with a grim expression, but the other party's reaction surprised him. He actually raised his fist and punched him.
Just as Li Chonglou was about to dodge, the other three immediately held him down. Just like that, Li Chonglou took a heavy punch.
With a muffled groan, two streams of blood instantly flowed from his nostrils.
"You think I don't dare to hit you? I can kill you without a problem!"
