The 99th Divorce

“What’s going on?” The office tower security guard finally came running over. When he saw the scrapes on Li Jinnan’s face, he got a shock and exclaimed, “GM Li! What…”

Li Jinnan merely glanced at the guard with a somber expression and ignored him. He replied to Shen Luo’an, “The things you’ve underestimated are aplenty!”

He turned to look at the laptop on the floor. The metal body of the computer was dented. It wasn’t hard to imagine the state of the screen inside.

Liquid flowed down Li Jinnan’s forehead. He felt his vision clouding over. He wiped it off with the back of his hand and commented, “What do you think you’ll be locked up for? Physical assault or destruction of personal property?”

Shen Luo’an’s heart skipped a beat. With a cold laugh, he asked, “Just you try sending me to the police station!”

“Of course I will!” Li Jinnan held him down and nodded toward the security guard. “Get a rope.”

The guard was feeling guilty at his lapse in his responsibilities. He rushed to do as he was told.

The police station was just around the corner. Li Jinnan sauntered in with familiarity. Soon enough, the police spotted him from inside.

One of the tough-looking officers noticed Li Jinnan and came running out quickly.

The moment he entered, he saw the state that Li Jinnan was in and sucked a breath in. He asked, “Third Brother, who on earth did this?”

The wounds on Li Jinnan’s body weren’t serious. They just looked brutal.

Nevertheless, the police officer couldn’t help feeling sorry for him as he said, “Oh no! What if it leaves a scar on that handsome face? Come, I’ll apply some medication for you. Sun Yi, take this fellow into custody.”

“Right away,” Sun Yi replied.

Li Jinnan shook his head and waved them away. “That’s won’t be necessary.”

Such injuries were of no consequence to him. It was, after all, just a superficial wound.

Li Jinnan said as he untied Shen Luo’an and touched his own face, “He caused damage to personal private property and intentional bodily harm by kicking me down the stairs. I’m afraid the laptop can’t be used anymore. I’ll leave him to you.”

There weren’t any bloodstains, just a whole lot of pain. In such circumstances, he knew he probably looked worse for wear.

“Alright, alright. Just leave him to me. Come on, Third Brother. Let me help you apply some medication.” Mo Yuanchen tugged Li Jinnan over and asked, “Where does this guy come from? How dare he do something like this? He must be tired of living!”

“He’s from the Capital,” Li Jinnan said. “His family name is Shen.”

“OK,” Mo Yuanchen was not familiar with the social climate in the Capital, much less who the Shens were. However, from the way Li Jinnan had said it, they seemed to be a prominent family. “Regardless, in Kingstown, you don’t have to be afraid of anyone.”

Mo Yuanchen cleaned Li Jinnan’s wound for him and said, “Oh right! Has your older brother gotten married yet? He should be 33 years old this year, shouldn’t he?”

Li Jinnan narrowed his eyes at him and asked, “Why are you asking? Are you trying to introduce someone to him?”

“You could guess even that?” Mo Yuanchen was impressed. “That’s crazy! I really do have someone I’d like to introduce to him…”

“You shouldn’t be saying this to me. Say it to my older brother directly. All the elders in my family are pestering him. If yelling would have worked, they’d have yelled long ago.” Li Jinnan suddenly sucked a breath in. “Be gentle.”

“Hey, what about you? I’m getting married next month. You have to come,” Mo Yuanchen said. “You’re already 29 too. You’re no longer young. Isn’t it about time to find a girlfriend? I have a…”

“Hold it. Don’t speak,” Ji Linnan said. “Are you able to apply the medication quietly? If you can’t, I’ll do it on my own back home.”

Mo Yuanchen shut his mouth immediately and applied the medication in silence. Barely 10 seconds of silence had passed when he opened his mouth again. “What happened between you and that Shen fellow? That guy cause trouble for you?”

Li Jinnan found it weird too. What happened between him and Ye Youyou had taken place almost half a year ago. During that six months, he had done everything he could to make sure the news never leaked out. He had also watched out for Ye Youyou too. So, why was this guy appearing out of the blue now?
