Wang Sihai was downstairs.
Seeing a woman who rushed in like a mother leopard, he was shocked by her wild beauty.
However, given the troubled times for Bai’s Medicinal Materials, he thought yet another person had come to cause trouble, and the person was even calling out for the Dragon Head by name. Accompanied by two subordinates, he hurried over and said grimly, "Miss, this is not a place for you to shout and bellow. Please leave immediately."
Zhao Xiaoqiao was already furious, and seeing Wang Sihai cut in, she scolded, "What business of yours is it here? Step aside! Long Xiaoshan, if you don’t come out now, I’ll tear down your damned company."
Wang Sihai’s face turned deathly pale with anger. He really had had enough humiliation for the day.
He quickly made a sign to his subordinates, and both of them charged forward. Continue reading stories on freewebnovel.com
Smack smack!
Zhao Xiaoqiao slapped away Wang Sihai’s two "Double-Flowered Red Sticks" subordinates.
Wang Sihai trembled all over.
It really was not easy to be a boss these days; even a random woman could be this formidable. He was speechless and started retreating continuously when Zhao Xiaoqiao glared at him.
Zhao Xiaoqiao saw how pathetic Wang Sihai looked and couldn’t be bothered to strike him. She walked over and kicked the counter desk until it shattered.
Just as she was about to take on the medicine cabinet,
a voice urgently called out, "Stop, Team Leader Zhao, why so angry?"
Zhao Xiaoqiao suddenly turned her head, her aura of killing intense as she stared at Long Xiaoshan coming down from the elevator. She charged at him and unleashed a fierce whip kick toward Long Xiaoshan’s head while shouting, "You goddamn Long Xiaoshan, I won’t rest until I kill you today."
Bai Susu was right beside Long Xiaoshan, so he couldn’t dodge. He hastily raised his hand to block Zhao Xiaoqiao’s whip kick. Zhao Xiaoqiao was extremely angry, continuously sweeping her powerful and forceful kicks at him as if he were her father’s murderer.
Long Xiaoshan urgently invoked the Vajra Indestructible Technique and pounced on her.
He took Zhao Xiaoqiao’s kick head-on and forcefully tackled her to the ground.
Zhao Xiaoqiao was not weak; as a Xuan Level Expert, a real tussle would have required at least dozens of exchanges between the two, but only by using this wild method was Zhao Xiaoqiao taken down by Long Xiaoshan’s repeated tactic.
She cursed bitterly, "Long Xiaoshan, you only know how to use these hoodlum tactics. If you have the guts, let’s have a fair fight."
Long Xiaoshan pricked a few of Zhao Xiaoqiao’s acupoints, sealing her inner strength before standing up and saying, "My dear Team Leader, what’s got you so angry? Don’t be mad, getting angry causes wrinkles."
Zhao Xiaoqiao was so infuriated she couldn’t find a place to vent. This bastard still had the mood to joke.
But now that her Inner Strength was sealed, Bai Susu knew that getting angry was useless. She said angrily, "Do you realize what you’ve done? Who gave you the authority to take out the Jiaohe Double Fiends? Who told you to say those things? You’re just an instructor, and an uncertified one at that. I’m the leader of the South Chuan Group, and even I don’t have the authority to do or say such things. Do you have any idea how much trouble you’ve caused for us? I’m telling you, Long Xiaoshan, this isn’t over. If the South Chuan Group goes down because of you, I swear I’ll take you down with me, even if it kills me."
"I thought it was something serious. So it’s just this, leader? You’re not scared, are you?" Long Xiaoshan said.
"Scared, my ass. And it’s ’just this?’ Long Xiaoshan, you really think highly of yourself, don’t you? Do you know how many people are involved this time? Do you actually think you’re invincible? Or do you believe that because you’re with the Special Action Division, you can do whatever you want? Let me tell you, you’ve caused a big mess. If word gets out, those people wouldn’t hesitate to dismantle our Special Action Division and the higher-ups wouldn’t bat an eye; they would even punish us for incompetence," Zhao Xiaoqiao said.
Long Xiaoshan frowned and said, "Is it really that exaggerated? The Special Action Division is an official institution after all. If they really dismantled it, wouldn’t the country lose face?"
"You don’t know shit. The country always tries to appease cultivators. The current policy from above is ’stability’ and ’harmony,’ get it? These cultivators have vast connections even in mundane society and wield significant influence. If they unite, their power is immense. Besides, do you think there aren’t any of them in official positions? There are. Your actions of just writing them off are totally against the unwritten rules. If this escalates, we’ll be the first ones to be punished — not to mention, there might not even be an ’after this’. Do you think we, the South Chuan Group, can stand against so many high-level fighters in Hechuan? You pig-headed fool, can’t you use your brain for once?" Zhao Xiaoqiao said with frustration.
"In that case, make an announcement that I’m not affiliated with your Special Action Division, that all of this was my personal doing. Let’s draw a clear line. I believe those people won’t bother your Special Action Division anymore. I’ll take all of it on myself," Long Xiaoshan said indifferently.
"What? What did you say?" Zhao Xiaoqiao asked again as if she hadn’t heard clearly.
"I said, I’ll take the fall for everything. It’s all on me. After all, I don’t even have a badge; I’m not really part of the Special Action Division," Long Xiaoshan said calmly.
"You’ll take it? What makes you think you can handle that? Do you know how many experts you have to face? Not even someone with three heads and six arms could juggle all of that," Zhao Xiaoqiao said.
Long Xiaoshan took out Golden Needle and pricked Zhao Xiaoqiao a few times on her body, unlocking her sealed acupoints, and said, "That’s my problem, isn’t it? Weren’t you just saying you hate me enough to want me dead? If I can’t handle all those people and end up dying, it won’t be connected to the Special Action Division at all."
Zhao Xiaoqiao was at a loss for words.
Having regained her Inner Strength, she stared at Long Xiaoshan for a while before turning to leave.
If Long Xiaoshan really took all the blame, it would be best for the Special Action Division. Moreover, with him in the picture, he could attract the high-level fighters’ attention, making the Special Action Division’s task easier.
Watching Zhao Xiaoqiao’s retreating figure, Bai Susu said with concern, "Xiaoshan, are you really going to let Group Leader Zhao go? Why don’t you ask her to stay? Or let me go instead. I’m a woman; it’s easier to talk to her."
Long Xiaoshan pulled Bai Susu back and shook his head at her.
His gaze, however, followed Zhao Xiaoqiao all the way to the door of Bai’s Medicinal Materials.
Zhao Xiaoqiao had one foot out the door, having nearly left the premises.
Suddenly, she froze. After several seconds, Zhao Xiaoqiao turned back, stormed over to Long Xiaoshan, and kicked him squarely in the shin, gritting her teeth as she said, "Long Xiaoshan, even if you’re willing to sever ties, people outside will think that I, Zhao Xiaoqiao, am a coward, deliberately backing down and discarding you like a pawn. You bastard, now you’ve made it so that I, Zhao Xiaoqiao, can’t show my face anywhere. I wish you were dead, but I’m the only one who gets to kill you—not anyone else."
Long Xiaoshan paid no mind to the pain from Zhao Xiaoqiao’s kick to his shin.
He burst into laughter, delighted, and stepped forward to give Zhao Xiaoqiao a tight hug, saying, "I knew my dear leader couldn’t bear to see me die. Don’t worry. I’m too tough to die that easily. If I’m going to die, it’ll be in your bed."
Long Xiaoshan’s last two words were spoken in a low voice, just loud enough for Zhao Xiaoqiao to hear.

Zhao Xiaoqiao’s cheeks turned crimson in an instant. She pushed Long Xiaoshan away forcefully and shouted, "Get lost! Get the hell away from me."
