  The second update is online, seeking recommendation votes.

  Lan Mei's eyes were sharp and she almost immediately saw Jiang Xu.

  Lan Mei didn't expect Jiang Xu to actually dare to deliver himself to her doorstep, which made her suddenly overjoyed.

  "Uncle, that little bastard is here, it's him, hurry up and catch him." Lan MeiMei shouted wildly, pointing at Jiang Xu as if she was afraid he would disappear from her sight.

  Listening to Lan Mei's voice, everyone's gaze suddenly turned towards Jiang Xu.

  Zhang Zihao's gloomy face turned extremely resentful, again and again, this continuous humiliation had shattered his dignity, and the hatred in his heart for Jiang Xu was imaginable.

  But he is not even worthy of being Jiang Xu's opponent.

  In front of Jiang Xu, he was almost a soft worm that could be manipulated at will. He could only pin his hopes on Rong Gongtian, and as long as Rong Gongtian could capture Jiang Xu, he would have the opportunity to avenge himself.

  At this moment, Zhang Zihao vaguely saw some hope.

  Jiang Xu's skills were indeed impressive, but Rong Gongtian was the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. When it came to dealing with someone like Jiang Xu, Rong Gongtian was like the Buddha himself - no matter how skilled Jiang Xu was, he couldn't escape Rong Gongtian's Five Finger Mountain.

  Rong Gongtian's gaze also quickly shifted towards Jiang Xu.

  A hint of surprise flashed through his eyes, and with just one glance, he had already recognized Jiang Xu's identity.

  As the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, how could he not know Jiang Xu, this second-generation ancestor? No wonder, before that, he felt why the name Jiang Xu was so familiar.

  However, even if Jiang Xu is Jiang Qiming's son, Rong Gongtian must still arrest him this time.

  No matter what, he had to let Lan Mei get over her anger first, as long as the matter could be perfectly resolved, even if it meant offending Jiang Qiming, it didn't matter.

  Behind the Lan family is the Chang family, and both of Lan Mei's aunts are married into the Chang family. In front of the Chang family, Jiang Qiming, the deputy mayor of this small county-level city, can't even get on stage.

  With a decision in his mind, Rong Gongtian did not hesitate any longer.

  He directly gave a wink to several police officers under him, indicating that they would surround Jiang Xu, and then asked Jiang Xu: "Jiang Xu, was it you who injured the two of them?"

  Due to Jiang Xu's special identity, Rong Gongtian's questioning also became extremely direct.

  "Rong Ju, I think you must have misunderstood. The injuries on them were self-inflicted and have nothing to do with me." Jiang Xu's response was extremely casual, his face calm as he faced Rong Gongtian's questioning, as if the matter truly had nothing to do with him.

  Of course, what Jiang Xu said was false.

  But for Jiang Xu, whether it's true or false doesn't make any difference. For some things, if he says they're true then they're true, and if he says they're fake then they must be fake.

  And his purpose in coming here was just to try to resolve this matter as soon as possible and not waste any time.

  Lan Mei obviously didn't expect Jiang Xu to lie with his eyes open, and suddenly became angry: "Nonsense, this face was clearly hit by you, there are many people here who can prove it, and you still dare to quibble."

  Zhang Zihao was also furious, but he didn't believe Jiang Xu could successfully talk his way out of it.

  "Jiang Xu, is this really necessary? I think we can still find a few witnesses here," said Rong Gongtian in a seemingly calm tone, but his eyes were filled with disdain.

  The second generation is just the second generation, unlearned and unskilled, ignorant and arrogant, and yet they can actually say such foolish lies.

  Jiang Xu didn't take Rong Gongtian's words to heart, and casually said: "Really? Then you can just ask someone else, if someone really accuses me, I have nothing to say."

  Rong Gongtian thought that Jiang Xu was not dead, the Yellow River's heart was not dead, and he didn't plan to drag things out either. He directly ordered his men to go find witnesses.

  Lan Mei was coldly smiling at Jiang Xu, earlier his conflict with Jiang Xu had been seen by many people around them, not just customers but also the hot pot city's service staff and so on, randomly finding someone to come out would be enough to testify against Jiang Xu.

  As he watched this scene, a faintly sarcastic smile flashed across Jiang Xu's eyes, and then, a series of eerie white lights flashed from his pupils.

  Several police officers under Rong Gongtian had been inquiring about witnesses everywhere, but soon the result was that they were left speechless.

  Whether it was the customers or the waiters, they all pointed out in unison that the injuries on Lan Mei and Zhang Zihe had nothing to do with Jiang Xu. They even pointed out that Lan Mei's face was slapped by Zhang Zihe, while Zhang Zihe's face was kicked by Lan Mei.

  This result left Lan Mei and Zhang Zihao staring at each other in shock, their eyes filled with incredulous expressions.

  Rong Gongtian was also taken aback by this result, which made him suspect that Lan Mei was deceiving him and trying to shift the blame onto Jiang Xu.

  If it were just one or two witnesses who lied, that would be easy to say.

  But as a result of this inquiry into the past, everyone's answers pointed to Lan Mei and Zhang Zihao themselves, leaving no room for further doubt.

  "Rong Ju, you've heard everything, haven't you? The injuries on them have nothing to do with me."

  Jiang Xu simply said a word, and he had expected this result long ago, because all of this was actually manipulated by him in secret.

  A powerful soul control allowed Jiang Xiu to possess the ability to turn black and white upside down, but this massive soul control consumed a huge amount of soul energy. In just a short while, Jiang Xiu's internal soul energy had already been depleted by about three-tenths.

  Rong Gongtian couldn't help but turn his head back and ask Lan Meimei: "Meimei, what's going on?"

  Lan Mei was so angry that she almost vomited blood, but just as she was about to speak, her eyes suddenly dimmed and she said: "Uncle, it was Zhang Zihao who asked me to deceive you. He has a grudge against Jiang Xu and wants to frame him."

  "Mei Mei, you..."

  Zhang Zihai's mouth opened wide in shock, his eyes filled with a terrified expression, and he couldn't even continue speaking.

  Rong Gongtian glared at Zhang Zihao, he had long been displeased with this soft and weak pretty boy, and now his anger was burning even more intensely.

  "You, with the surname Zhang, how dare you let Xiaomei cheat me? Are you tired of living?" With large strides forward, Zhang Zihao directly slapped a palm onto Zhang Zihao's face, sending him tumbling to the ground.

  Dealing with Zhang Zihao, this pretty boy, Rong Gongtian wouldn't have any scruples at all. He could do whatever he wanted to him, and if not for his image, he would even want to go up and kick Zhang Zihao a few more times to vent his anger.

  Zhang Zihao was on the verge of collapse, he found that this world seemed a bit different from what he had imagined.

  But Zhang Zihao didn't know that his truly tragic fate had only just begun at this moment.

  Just as Rong Gongtian was about to let his men take him away, Zhang Zihao suddenly felt his brain go blank for a moment, and then he lost consciousness.

  But in the eyes of outsiders, he suddenly got up from the ground and rushed towards Ronggongtian like a madman.

  Rong Gongtian never thought that Zhang Zihao would dare to attack him. He was caught off guard and was suddenly knocked to the ground by Zhang Zihao.

  "How dare you hit me, I'm going to kill you."

  Zhang Zihao shouted angrily, and his fists rained down on Rong Gongtian's face and chest.

  At this time, Lan Mei had regained her consciousness. Looking at the scene before her, she was first stunned and then hastily shouted: "Zhang Zihao, you're crazy! Hurry up and stop for me!!"

  Several police officers under Rong Gongtian rushed towards Zhang Zirong, trying to pull him away from Rong Gongtian.

  But just at this moment, Zhang Zihao suddenly stretched out his hand and knocked the pistol from Rong Gongtian's waist. Then he pointed the pistol at Rong Gongtian's head and shouted wildly: "Don't come any closer, or I'll kill him!"

  Zhang Zihao's crazy behavior suddenly scared everyone away, and the police under Rong Gongtian didn't dare to move either.

  Rong Gongtian can sit in this position, after all, he also has some abilities.

  At the moment Zhang Zihao raised his gun, he saw an opportunity and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Zhang Zihao's palm holding the pistol, wanting to subdue him in one move.

  Of course, Rong Gongtian dared to take action in this situation also because he was certain that Zhang Zihao did not dare to shoot him.

  Shooting at police, this crime is no ordinary big deal.

  But just as Rong Gongtian grabbed Zhang Zihao's palm, a gunshot rang out.

  In the flash of fire in the gun barrel, a golden bullet directly shot into Ronggongtian's shoulder. The gunshot instantly ignited panic throughout the entire Hot Pot City, and almost all customers and waiters rushed outwards quickly.

  Lan Mei's face turned pale, and at the moment the gunshot sounded, her body directly collapsed to the ground, because she knew that Zhang Zihao was already done for.

  Zhang Zihao also regained consciousness at this moment. He first looked at the pistol in his hand, then looked at Rong Gongtian under him, and finally looked at the bullet hole on Rong Gongtian's shoulder. Then, he only felt that the world in front of him was spinning around, and after that, he directly fainted to the ground.

  The police under Rong Gongtai hurriedly pushed Zhang Zihao away from Rong Gongtai's body and took him into custody, while one of the police quickly dialed the emergency number.

  Jiang Xu just glanced at all of this lightly and then turned around and walked out.

  Because things have already been resolved.

  Zhang Zihai immediately shifted his attention to Zou Rong, and Jiang Xu would naturally not show mercy to those under him.

  As for Lan Mei, Jiang Xu temporarily did not make a move on her, because this woman still had some use for the time being.
