still early, Xia Tian walked out of the gate of the physical education institute and hailed a taxi to Jianghai University. It wasn’t yet noon, so he could have lunch with Sun Xinxin together.However,...Chapter 1392: Someone Falsely Accuses
Pang Bo's heart sank slightly, and his expression became even more difficult. He had realized that he was facing the biggest trouble since he joined the police force!
In fact, everyone in the municipal bureau knew that Pang Bo and Zou Cheng had some issues. As the head of the major cases unit at the municipal bureau, Pang Bo's position was actually snatched from Zou Cheng. Everyone also knew that when it came to solving cases, Pang Bo was far inferior to Zou Cheng. However, there was no doubt that Pang Bo was much better than Zou Cheng in terms of interpersonal skills. Even though Zou Cheng had the powerful backer Hu Hongguang at the provincial department, he was still a dispirited police officer. On the other hand, Pang Bo managed to become the head of the major cases unit. Although this position didn't carry much power, it was quite an achievement for someone without connections or background.
Cases involving drugs were always classified as major cases. Recently, there had been many drug-related cases in Star City. Especially a few days ago, police from Jianghai City arrested a drug dealer who came from Star City. Although the interrogation by the Jianghai City police was still ongoing, they had already discovered that there were far more than just one drug dealer involved in Star City. The police in Jianghai City were now communicating with their counterparts in Star City to dismantle this entire drug trafficking gang.
The police in Star City naturally didn't want the out-of-town police to assist in destroying the drug dealers operating within their jurisdiction, as it would mean acknowledging their inability. Therefore, the major cases unit had recently increased manpower and started investigating. It was precisely because of this that when Pang Bo received a tip-off saying there were people trafficking drugs in Xinghai residential area, he personally came over with his team. When he found two bags of ecstasy inside the house, he became even more excited, thinking he could follow the線索 to catch big fish.
However, what happened next was completely unexpected. Upon learning that the person he accused of drug trafficking was actually Xia Tian, he immediately realized the severity of the situation.
Xingcheng City and Yue Nan City are not far apart. Recently, there have been quite a few incidents in Yue Nan City which even alarmed the provincial department, so people here were naturally well-informed about them as well. Now, Pang Bo knew that Xia Tian was an extremely formidable figure to provoke, but he never would've imagined that his bad luck would lead him to offend just this person!
"Ko Chang Hu, I did receive a tip-off and indeed found ecstasy here. I believe Mr. Xia wouldn't traffic in such substances; thus, it must be someone framing him or trying to frame me!" Pang Bo knew he had to explain the situation clearly so that others wouldn’t think he was deliberately making trouble for Xia Tian.
Looking at Zou Cheng, with a double entendre, he continued: "Ko Chang Hu, I wasn't aware of Mr. Xia's residence beforehand; if someone is trying to lead me into causing him trouble, they must know where he lives."
"Pang Bo, don’t look at me like that. Dr. Xia is my savior; just now, I learned he was staying here myself. As for your theory about framing or setting up a trap, could the informant have directly called you If not, it’s clear they weren't targeting you!" Zou Cheng said with a light snort.
He paused for a moment and then turned to look at Xia Tian, asking, "Doctor Xia, you just arrived today. Who used to live here before Could it be that the previous resident left the Ecstasy here"
"This is my wife's place, but she hasn't lived here in several months," Xia Tian casually remarked.
"So, these past few months, nobody has been living here. But as soon as you guys arrived, someone called to report it. Looks like they really were after you," Zou Cheng quickly analyzed the situation, "Assuming everything goes according to expectations, the Ecstasy was probably placed here when you went out for dinner."
"The Ecstasy was found under the bed in the bedroom. When we arrived, the door was locked, which means that if someone did plant it intentionally, they must have had a key," Pang Bo interjected at this point, as he too started to seriously consider how to extricate himself from this situation.
"Hey, little rascal, do you think Tang Huijun might have made a spare key" Liu Meng suddenly shouted out, "Could she be the one trying to sabotage us intentionally"
"I don't know, I don't want to deal with this matter anymore." Xia Tian didn't feel like digging deeper into the issue. He glanced at Hu Feifei and Zou Cheng once before saying, "Anyway, you two should quickly tidy up my place again, fix the door for me, and stay far away from me after that."
Right now, all Xia Tian wanted was to recover his energy as soon as possible. Before he found another way to recover it, his only hope still lay on Liu Meng. To speed up his recovery of energy, he needed as much time as possible to practice mutual cultivation with Liu Meng; hence, he didn't want anyone to disturb him. As for the matter of someone framing him, Xia Tian wasn't in a mood to care about it either. If anyone came looking for trouble, he would just beat them away.
Seeing that Xia Tian didn't intend to investigate further into this incident, Hu Feifei felt relieved while Pang Bo was naturally glad as well. As for Zou Cheng, although his relationship with Pang Bo wasn't good, at the moment he also didn’t want to make a big fuss about it. Therefore, they temporarily didn't care who had left those Ecstasy pills in this place and proceeded according to Xia Tian's request to clean up the house immediately and find someone to fix the door lock.
With over ten people helping out together, less than ten minutes were needed for a thorough cleanup of the room. Then it took them several more minutes to sweep and some time to arrange for the repair of the door lock. In this way, half an hour later, everything was settled, and Hu Feifei, Zou Cheng, along with all others from the police station, were chased out by Xia Tian as well. Thus, the room finally quieted down again, becoming a world solely between Xia Tian and Liu Meng.
"Mischievous little one, are you hungry now If you're hungry, I will feed you steamed buns... Mmm!" As soon as Liu Meng started to use her plump white 'steamed bun' figure to tease Xia Tian again, she was interrupted by Xia Tian who immediately kissed her before she could finish her sentence, leaving her unable to continue speaking.
The next morning.
Seeing the sleeping Li Meng in his arms, Xia Tian felt somewhat gloomy. After a night of dual cultivation practice, he found that his martial arts power seemed to have made no progress at all, which was completely unexpected. Originally, even if the recovery speed had slowed down, it should still be progressing little by little, but now he felt like there was absolutely no improvement. The increase in power from last night wasn't as much as what he naturally gained before practicing dual cultivation with Li Meng!
Logically speaking, even if he started to practice martial arts again, his power would grow daily on its own. If he practiced dual cultivation with Li Meng, the growth rate would increase many times over. But now, his situation was completely contrary to what should have happened under normal circumstances, indicating that perhaps his body had developed some problem he wasn't aware of.
He didn't know exactly what was wrong with his body. Regarding the Ice and Fire Spirit Body, nobody really understood it well. Neither his celestial sister Yue Qingya nor his master Ghost Doctor Zhang Mingtu, or even Xia Tian himself as the world's number one divine physician, had a thorough understanding of the Ice and Fire Spirit Body.
Currently, all Xia Tian knew was that if measured by ordinary people’s standards, there was nothing wrong with his body—it would only be better than an ordinary person. However, he also believed that his Ice and Fire Spirit Body must have encountered some issue because it wouldn’t make sense for him to not gain any power after a night of dual cultivation practice with Li Meng.
"What is the problem" Summer pondered, half an hour later, looking at the seductive white body in his arms, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"It seems I need to thoroughly study Dream's body." Summer thought to himself. Liu Meng also has an Ice and Fire Spiritual Body like him, and he feels that Liu Meng’s Ice and Fire Spiritual Body should be functioning normally. So perhaps by carefully studying Liu Meng’s body, he can figure out what is wrong with his own.
He fed a thread of ice and fire spirit energy into Liu Meng's body as he began to meticulously study it. He was not the first time doing this; in many ways, Liu Meng's body had already been thoroughly examined by him. Every inch of her skin had been visited countless times, and the hidden parts of her body had also been researched over and over again. However, that kind of research was just a man studying a woman, whereas now he was truly examining it from a doctor’s perspective, researching a miraculous Ice and Fire Spiritual Body.
Liu Meng continued to sleep soundly; Summer's research did not disturb her, but as time passed, Summer's mood worsened. Even Liu Meng’s irresistibly seductive body seemed unable to bring him any joy because after studying for so long, he still couldn’t find the fundamental differences between Liu Meng’s Ice and Fire Spiritual Body and his own—apart from the obvious difference of gender, which clearly wouldn't solve his current problem.
"It seems I have no choice but to think of other ways." Summer somewhat helplessly withdrew his hand, ceasing to examine Liu Meng's body. He realized he had to change tactics; he couldn’t rely on the natural growth of ice and fire spirit energy anymore or hope for dual cultivation with Liu Meng. The only thing left to hope for might still be the Eight Reversing Heaven Needles.no matter who wants to die, I'll fulfill their wish."The man was momentarily stunned. He didn't actually want to die; he just didn’t want to meet the same fate as his companion."No, no, no, I want to...
