Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

Zhu Xiaoyue's police uniform was no longer wearable; it was covered in blood.

Li Xiaoyao drove to a clothing store and bought two women's T-shirts and a pair of jeans, then he took a turn in the lingerie store next door.

After buying the clothes, Li Xiaoyao got back in the car and said, "Wait for me in the car, I'm going to fill up the Mercedes with gas."

Li Xiaoyao went to fill up the Mercedes with gas and also bought two barrels of oil to put in the trunk as a backup.

After filling up with gas, Li Xiaoyao drove to a secluded area of the county. He got out of the car, looked around to see that there was no one else, and then quickly went to a van, removing its front and rear license plates and attaching them to the Mercedes.

Having done all this, Li Xiaoyao drove the car to an ordinary motel, then walked back to the BMW.

Zhu Xiaoyue had been waiting in the car for almost an hour. At first, she was patient, but as Li Xiaoyao didn't return, her worry grew more and more intense.

Just as Zhu Xiaoyue was about to call Li Xiaoyao, he finally came back.

"Where did you go? Why did it take so long?" Zhu Xiaoyue asked with her brows furrowed, her tone was questioning, but it was laced with concern.

Li Xiaoyao started the car and drove towards a secluded area, casually saying, "It's nothing."

Zhu Xiaoyue saw that he didn't want to talk and felt somewhat huffy.

"Where are you planning to go?"

Li Xiaoyao said, "I'm looking for a place to hide the car."

"Hide the car? Why do we need to hide it?" Zhu Xiaoyue asked, puzzled.

Li Xiaoyao explained, "Your car's windshield is shattered, and those criminals recognize it, so we definitely can't drive it."

Clearly, Zhu Xiaoyue wasn't as meticulous or thoughtful as Li Xiaoyao. Although she was slightly aggrieved, seeing that Li Xiaoyao had thought everything through so carefully and arranged everything so perfectly, she actually felt somewhat reliant on him.

Li Xiaoyao pulled the car into an alley, and as he was parking, Zhu Xiaoyue suddenly asked, "Li Xiaoyao, how do you know so much? Have you committed crimes before?"

Three black lines immediately appeared on Li Xiaoyao's forehead; he knew this brainless woman couldn't say anything nice.

"I studied psychology in college—I definitely know more than you," Li Xiaoyao replied, annoyed, as he pulled up the handbrake and pushed open the door, saying, "Let's go."

Zhu Xiaoyue also realized that her question was somewhat inappropriate. After getting out of the car, she followed behind Li Xiaoyao obediently.

Li Xiaoyao, carrying a large bag of items, had just taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped. Zhu Xiaoyue, not paying attention, bumped into his back.

Zhu Xiaoyue's fiery temper flared up again and she said, "Li Xiaoyao, what are you doing?"

Li Xiaoyao turned around, his gaze fixed on the blood-stained uniform she wore, and said, "Are you planning to go out on the street dressed like that?"

Zhu Xiaoyue looked down at herself and immediately understood what Li Xiaoyao meant by that remark. She huffed and took out a T-shirt and jeans from the bag, saying, "Turn around."

Li Xiaoyao turned around. After a few seconds, Zhu Xiaoyue said, "Don't turn back to peek."

Li Xiaoyao rolled his eyes with irritation, "What do you mean peek? If I turn around, it would be to look openly and directly."

Zhu Xiaoyue's cheeks flushed but she didn't argue; quickly, she removed her blood-stained police uniform and put on the T-shirt.

Then she took off her pants, but as she was about to put on the jeans, the sound of men talking suddenly came from not too far away.

Zhu Xiaoyue's movements froze as her nervousness kicked in. She wanted to get dressed quickly, but the more anxious she became, the more she struggled to put on her clothes. For a moment, Zhu Xiaoyue felt so frantic that tears began to well up in her eyes.

The voices of the men chatting grew nearer. Zhu Xiaoyue turned her head to look and saw two middle-aged men coming towards her from the end of the alley, talking as they walked.

"Li Xiaoyao..." Zhu Xiaoyue's voice carried a hint of a sob and a plea as she called out softly.

"What's wrong?" Li Xiaoyao asked, his back turned to her.

"Someone's coming from behind."

"Then why aren't you hurrying up and changing your clothes?" Li Xiaoyao thought to himself, voiceless. Someone's coming, and you're not hurrying to change your clothes, instead finding the leisure to chat with me.

Zhu Xiaoyue's voice was as faint as a mosquito's hum, "I... I can't muster any strength in my hand."

Li Xiaoyao stood stunned for two seconds, then cursed under his breath and turned around, only to see Zhu Xiaoyue standing there dumbly, with half of her body exposed to the air, holding the new pair of jeans in her hands.

The jeans Li Xiaoyao had bought were a pair of Korean-style skinny jeans, and since Zhu Xiaoyue had injured her shoulder, it was indeed difficult for her to pull them on while standing.

Li Xiaoyao also saw two middle-aged men approaching from behind, approximately forty meters away.

Without a second thought, Li Xiaoyao quickly stepped forward, scooped Zhu Xiaoyue up in a princess carry, then turned and ran towards the BMW parked nearby, dove into the car, and closed the door behind them.

Zhu Xiaoyue was laid down on the back seat by Li Xiaoyao, who then pressed down on top of her. The two of them in such close contact, their breaths both slightly rapid.

Zhu Xiaoyue's legs were stretched out straight. Li Xiaoyao could feel her rapid heartbeat coming from her chest.

The footsteps of the two middle-aged men drew nearer, and suddenly, they stopped. Simultaneously, Li Xiaoyao felt Zhu Xiaoyue tense up entirely in that moment.

"Ouch, a BMW!"

"Seriously, there's actually a BMW in our small county town!"

"Eh, why is the glass of this BMW broken?"

"Whoa, it even has a Ling City license plate."

The two men stood in front of the car, looking it over and discussing it with great interest.

Zhu Xiaoyue was covered in nervousness, but Li Xiaoyao had an idea. His eyes shifted swiftly, his mind working quickly.

All of a sudden, Li Xiaoyao stuck his head out and shouted at the two middle-aged men at the front of the car, "Hey, could you keep your voices down? Are you going to let people sleep or not?"

The two were startled, having not expected someone to be inside the car.

"Oh, sorry about that, we're leaving now," the men apologized with a smile. After all, it's a man driving a BMW, and they are usually rich or noble, not someone the common folk in their small town could afford to offend.

The two men turned and left, and Zhu Xiaoyue also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Li Xiaoyao," Zhu Xiaoyue said gratefully.

"It's nothing," Li Xiaoyao waved it off, but just as they were about to relax, they heard the two men, who hadn't gone far, say.

"Wow, there's a girl in the car too."

"Tsk, tsk, she's not even wearing pants."

"These two are playing some kind of game, huh? I've long heard that city folks like to play, and now I've really seen it."

"My goodness, I was wondering what happened to the car's window, turns out it got shattered from shaking."

In the end, both men said in unison, "Damn impressive!"

Zhu Xiaoyue's face turned red like the evening glow, and even Li Xiaoyao, at this moment, was uncharacteristically blushing.
