Chapter 670: VIP
The police superintendent’s att.i.tude toward Xiao Luo was incredulous, as everyone had expected Xiao Luo to be in handcuffs and arrested immediately. Instead, the police were treating him so respectfully, as if Xiao Luo was their superior. It was utterly mindboggling!
“You police do whatever you have to. There is no need to ask my permission,” Xiao Luo asked calmly.
He had already crippled Lyon. That was enough punishment for him. As for whether Lyon would survive, Xiao Luo did not care at all.
“Thank you, thank you…”
The police superintendent thanked him profusely and ordered his men to carry Lyon away. They needed to resuscitate him as quickly as possible.
Every police officer gasped in horror when they saw Lyon’s broken arms and the egg white-looking fluid oozing out from his crotch. Xiao Luo was merciless, and the young master of the Kennedy family had undoubtedly become impotent from that a.s.sault.
“Boss, why are we not arresting that villain?” asked a confused police officer. He shot the question at the police superintendent as they were wrapping up their mission.
“Arrest him?”
The police superintendent shook his head and shuddered in fear of Xiao Luo. “Do you think we can arrest a man that even the president is afraid of?” he asked nervously.
A man that even the president feared?
When the police officers heard that, they looked shocked as it had not crossed their minds that the Hua national had such a frightful reputation.
“Our superiors are praying to G.o.d that this guy gets out of the Mei nation as soon as possible. Even if he had crippled that senior member of the Kennedy family, who is in the cabinet, we would have to act as if nothing had happened. So, do you think it matters that he crippled the young master? The order from the top is that whoever starts a conflict with Xiao Han will be charged with treason,” the police superintendent added.
“What?”
Upon hearing that, the police officers gasped in shock as they had not expected such grievous consequences if they offended that Hua national.
The police superintendent said no more. He took out the communication device and reported on the whereabouts of Xiao Luo, the Thousand-faced Killer, to his superior.

Everyone at the gate of the University of Was.h.i.+ngton was shocked at the outcome. An entire patrol of police officers arrived ready to take action but then left quietly with their tails between their legs. They were so respectful to that criminal. What was going on?
Among the onlookers, Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai were the most shocked. They did not understand how Xiao Luo could have gotten out of such a severe offense. Who was Xiao Luo?
“Brother Luo!”
Both of them ran up to Xiao Luo. They did not accept the cruelty that he had inflicted on Lyon, but they were genuinely worried for Xiao Luo and called out to him.
“What are you guys doing here?”
Xiao Luo frowned as he did not wish Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai to see the other side of him. Their presence had caught him off guard.
“You’ve caused a tremendous scene, so it was difficult for us not to notice it,” Zhu Xiaofei said.
“That’s right, Brother Luo. I’ve only realized today how merciless you are when you fight,” said Ding Kai as he glanced at the bloodstains on the ground.
Xiao Luo did not speak but smiled dryly.
“You’re still our dearest Brother Luo, as always,” Zhu Xiaofei added.
“Yeah, our dearest Brother Luo,” Ding Kai repeated with a smile.
Xiao Luo smiled at them and patted them both on their shoulders. He reflected on what had happened. Previously, he had not established a clear relations.h.i.+p with Su Li, but now that they were a real married couple, the memory of how Lyon had taken advantage of her made him lose control of himself.
“Xiao Luo!”
An angry voice came from behind him.
Xiao Luo turned around and saw Zhong Meili walking over. He bowed to her and greeted her with respect. “Ms. Zhong.”
“I’m afraid that I cannot be your teacher anymore.”
Zhong Meili’s ever-present smile was absent as she chided Xiao Luo coldly. “There’s no place for a villain like you to be among my students. You have a.s.saulted someone in public in such a cruel manner, and your actions make my blood boil!”
“Ms. Zhong…”
Both Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai tried to calm her down, urging her not to scold Xiao Luo so harshly.
“What? Should I be worried that he’ll beat me into a pulp too?”
Zhong Meili yelled as she felt very disappointed in Xiao Luo. She had high expectations of him and had hoped to see him make something of himself in life. She wanted him to make a useful contribution to the country, and to be a leader in the service of the people. Instead, what had he become? He was beating people up at the gate of the University of Was.h.i.+ngton just because he practiced kung fu. This incident was not a trivial one, for he had broken someone’s arms and turned him into a eunuch.
Such violence was inhumane!
Xiao Luo smiled sadly and said, “You’re my teacher. I would never harm you.”
Zhong Meili could see the sincerity in his eyes, and she softened her tone. She continued, “Xiao Luo, you have been a great disappointment for me today. I know you have left school, but you’re still that pa.s.sionate student who could escalate that debate on monetary theories to new heights. What you have done today has completely squashed my understanding of you. Regardless of how outstanding you are, I can only feel sorry that you have chosen such a path to ruin!”
A path to ruin?
Xiao Luo shook his head and heaved a long sigh.
“Ms. Zhong, please don’t blame Xiao Luo totally on this matter. There must be a reason behind it,” said Zhu Xiaofei, trying to defend Xiao Luo.
“One should never opt for violence, even if one is right. Why can’t Xiao Luo inform the police and let them handle the matter if there was a dispute or conflict?” Zhong Meili asked.
Her words had silenced both Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai. They could not find a better argument to defend Xiao Luo.
At that moment, w.a.n.g Ling walked over with Huang Ruoran.
Huang Ruoran had been through a lot in that short period. First, it was Ian’s death, and then there was Xiao Luo’s cruelty. She could not exactly describe how she felt, but it was not something good. She stared at Xiao Luo silently, trying to find anything familiar from that man she used to know.
“Ms. Zhong, I’m sorry that I’ve disappointed you!”
Xiao Luo bowed to Zhong Meili and did not complain about her rebuke, and knew that her admonishments were for his good. But only Xiao Luo was aware of the circ.u.mstances and understood that they were worlds apart. Other than Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai, he did not expect to reunite with any of them again. It was pure coincidence that they had met on that trip to the Mei nation.
He did not explain further and turned around to leave after bowing to Zhong Meili.
“Brother Luo!”
Both Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai caught up with him and stopped him. Although they knew they could not do much for him, they did not wish to bid farewell to Xiao Luo in that manner.
“Xiaofei, Ding Kai, I am glad to have run into you guys here. Focus on your studies. After you guys have graduated, if you have nowhere to go, come look for me in Xiahai,” Xiao Luo said. He still felt close to his ex-roommates. He wanted to provide them with opportunities and as much help as he could.
“Brother Luo!”They hugged Xiao Luo for a while as there was no need for men to speak much. They conveyed everything they wanted to express in the hug.Looking at their brotherly relations.h.i.+p, Zhong Meili suddenly felt guilty and regretted her strong words. Perhaps she might have been too harsh on Xiao Luo and should’ve put herself in his shoes.At that moment, a convoy of black cars headed toward the gate from afar with traffic police and the FBI leading the way. It looked like some VIPs were heading their way.
