Chapter 23: Do Not Judge by Appearances

  Old Wang's Tavern Hall.

  It was as if a beautiful scene had suddenly been injected, and a stunningly beautiful girl wearing a police uniform, with a slender figure, seemed to possess infinite charm, especially those captivating eyes that made everyone feel like they were dazzled.

  Even the six thugs who were thrown to the ground, looking miserable, seemed to have suddenly forgotten their physical pain when they saw the girl. Their eyes stared straight at the policewoman, and each of them swallowed hard, clearly salivating.

  "So beautiful..."

  A strong desire to conquer her was growing wildly in Zhang Yi's heart, and after several attempts, his gaze finally managed to move away from the female police officer with great difficulty.

  Her figure and appearance are not inferior to those of Situ Wenyan and Jiang Hongyan, but the temperament of the three women is vastly different. Situ Wenyan belongs to the cold and proud type; Jiang Hongyan exudes a wild nature, while this female police officer in front of me has an upright air about her, subtly carrying a charm that easily makes people want to conquer her.

  Zhang Yi secretly evaluated in his heart.

  The beautiful policewoman walked up to the scar-faced man sitting on the ground, slowly squatted down, and stretched out her slender white fingers to gently support his chin. Her eyes seemed to sparkle with colorful lights, and her crescent-shaped eyes narrowed slightly as a hint of a smile appeared on her face. With a soft tone in her voice, she asked: "Are you here to cause trouble at this tavern? Not paying for food and drinks? Or collecting protection fees?"

  The scar-faced man's eyes were dazed, as if the policewoman's hand was supporting his chin, a sense of intimacy, with a hint of intoxication, he muttered: "Collect... protection fees."

  "Bang..."

  A crisp slapping sound rang out, and a bright red palm print appeared on the right cheek of the scar-faced man.

  "Bang bang bang bang......"

  Just like the sound of wet wood burning, the smile on the policewoman's face disappeared, and her long palm slapped the scar-faced man's face again and again.

  At one go!

  She gave him a good twenty slaps, then stood up and kicked the scar-faced man squarely in the face. With a crisp cracking sound of his nasal bone breaking, blood spurted from his nose and mouth, a truly stunning sight.

  The others present were all stunned by this sudden change.

  However!

  What made everyone even more unbelievable and almost popped their eyeballs out was the female police officer's next move.

  He yanked open the top button of his shirt, rolled up his sleeves, and with a fierce aura, his fists and feet rained down on the other five thugs like a storm, beating them until they cried out for their fathers and mothers, utterly miserable.

  "What... where did this top-quality female cop come from?"

  Zhang Yi cautiously approached the hunchbacked old man with a bitter smile on his face and asked in a low voice.

  "I..."

  The old man with a hump on his back moved his lips several times, wanting to say something, but the words were swallowed hard into his belly.

  "I'm telling you, this Old Wang Tavern is under my protection. If any of you are feeling itchy and want to cause trouble, come here a few more times. From now on, every time I see you, I'll beat you up, making your old lady think you've been reborn."

  The policewoman stopped beating him, stood with her hands on her hips, glared at the six thugs and shouted loudly.

  His face had been beaten into a pig's head, with two large walnuts stuffed in his mouth. His cheeks were bulging and fresh blood was still dripping from above. With great difficulty, he propped himself up on the ground with both arms and shouted at the policewoman: "You're a police officer... why didn't you ask what was going on before beating people?"

  "Get out of here, you stinky tofu! Did I ask you to come here? You dare to collect protection fees from me? I'll beat you up if you don't leave. Not convinced? Get up and try again!" The female police officer raised her right fist in front of her chest, rubbing it with her left hand, looking like she was about to take action.

  "No... no, it's all our fault, we won't dare again, please don't hit us anymore, miss!" Scarface exclaimed in terror, his feet pushing against the ground, his arms propping himself up, as he retreated half a meter backwards.

  The policewoman nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly shouted: "You know you're wrong, what are you still doing here? Get out of here, or I'll send all of you to the crematorium."

  In the eyes of these six thugs, this female cop was a female judge of hell. Even though they had been beaten by Dr. Hao and suffered multiple fractures, only to be brutally beaten again by this female cop, they still gritted their teeth in terror and stumbled away as if fleeing for their lives.

  "Hmm, sweet girl, it's been two years since we last met, and you've become even more violent than before? Not bad, not bad. Why don't you just abandon that old man, your grandfather, and come under my wing instead? I'll be your master!" Hao Shen Yi stroked his beard with a strange smile.

  Yao Tiantian, the policewoman's name.

  Listening to Dr. Hao's words, her puffed-up appearance changed in an instant, and a smile quickly floated onto her absolutely beautiful face. Her tone was affectionate as she ran to Dr. Hao's side, grasped his arm, and playfully said: "Dr. Hao, if I become your apprentice, you'll have inadvertently dropped a generation, and calling me 'Grandpa' will be a bit of a bother!"

  Hao's smile froze on his face, and with a hint of dissatisfaction, he pushed away Yao Xiantian's hand. He sighed and said, "I didn't expect that I, an old man, would be outsmarted by you, this little yellow-haired girl. Alright, alright, just pretend I didn't say anything just now."

  Yao Tian Tian then walked with a light and quick step, which was vastly different from the violent female model she had just portrayed. She came to the hunchbacked old man's side, reached out and grasped his arm, and laughed: "Grandpa, it's been two years since we last met, do you miss me?"

  The old man with a hump on his back rolled his eyes and snorted: "No, you weren't here, don't mention how much more peaceful it was."

  Yao Tiantian didn't care, and laughed: "But I was thinking of you! Look, on the first day after my early graduation from police school, I rushed back to see you. Tonight, are you going to cook a delicious meal for me yourself? By the way, those two jars of good wine you hid away, haven't they been drunk yet? My appetite has been stirred up."

  The hunchbacked old man quickly glanced at Hao Shen Yi and scolded, "You little girl, what nonsense are you spouting? When did I ever hide good wine? Don't just stand there, hurry up and wash your hands, I'll get something for you to eat later."

  Yao Tiantian spat out her pink tender tongue, and her eyes glanced at Zhang Yi and the little girl he was holding in his arms, then she looked confused and asked: "Grandpa, who are they?"

  "Hmph, one of us."

  Yao Tian Tian was stunned, and immediately let go of the old man's arm. Her face turned red with anger as she shouted: "Grandpa, is it true that my father secretly found a stepmother for me behind my back? Is this little girl his child? Do they have half of my bloodline?"

  "Hmmph..."

  Zhang Yi took two steps back with a stumble, his handsome face showing an exceptionally vivid expression.

  This...

  Where did this excellent girl come from?

  For a moment, Zhang Yi felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his whole body trembling.

  The old man with a hump on his back had a dull expression, but his white eyes kept rolling around, his mouth was open wide, and he didn't make a single sound for a long time.

  Purple sauce!

  Yes!

  The old man's complexion had turned a deep purple color.

  Hahaha...

  Hao Shen Yi burst out laughing loudly, his face full of weird expressions as he looked at Zhang Yi one moment and the hunchbacked old man the next.

  Yin Yin raised that innocent and harmless little face, looked at Yao Sweet and said: "High-handed sister, I am not Uncle's seed, Uncle is not your father's seed, we don't have a single drop of blood relationship."

  Yao Tiantian looked at Zhang Yi with a puzzled expression, then stared at Xiao Yinyin for a few moments before thoughtfully rubbing her chin with her left hand and nodding slowly. "That's right, we shouldn't have any blood relation because you two don't look like my charming old dad, and I don't see any resemblance between us either. This way, I can rest assured that in the future when my grandfather passes away, this wine shop won't be divided among outsiders."

  Yinyin cleverly nodded and said: "High-handed sister, we won't divide your family's wine shop, I... my uncle should have money."

  Zhang Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes at this moment, despite having a very good temper.

  Xiao Yinyin's words were innocent, but this 20-year-old female police officer was able to say such outrageous things... This is simply treason!

  "Yinyin, don't talk nonsense."

  Zhang Yi whispered with Yin Yin in his arms.

  Xiaoyin spat out a small tongue and immediately fell silent.

  Yao Tiantian said to Zhang Yi, "I think you're being too nosy. A little girl is talking, why can't she talk? Stinky man... no manners at all."

  "Yao Tiantian, shut up."

  The old man with a hump on his back, who was trembling with rage, slowly raised his right arm, pointing at Yao Tian Tian, and finally let out a loud roar.

  Yao Tiantian's expression froze for a moment, then she quickly shrank her neck and said hastily: "Grandpa, I'll go wash up, don't be angry, calm down, or else you'll end up in that hole ahead of time!"

  As soon as she finished speaking, she slipped inside.

  "It's really..."

  The old man with a hump on his back shook his head and sighed with a bitter smile on his face.

  However, before he could finish speaking, Yao Tiantian returned again, waiting for those beautiful crescent-shaped eyes to measure Zhang Yi and ask: "Hey, just now my grandfather said you are one of us, where did this self-proclaimed person come from? I warn you, meals can be eaten casually, but relationships cannot be defined casually."

  Zhang Yi said loudly and clearly: "I guarantee, I have nothing to do with your family's Ba Gan Zi. So rest assured, you can eat, and I will never mess up the relationship."

  Yinyin poked her head out of Zhang Yi's arms, nodded her little head quickly and said seriously: "Yes yes yes, my uncle is right, he has a relationship with Yinyin, but not with you guys."

  Yao Tiantian glanced at Zhang Yi a few times before turning around and leaving.

  The old man with a hump on his back slammed his cane onto the ground several times, and with a sorrowful face, he bitterly smiled: "What bad luck for our family! My unlucky son, how did he end up having such an unfilial daughter?"
