Chapter 2 The Absurd First Encounter

[Above picture is Xu Kai as Gu Yanzhen]

.........

Everyone downstairs looked up in surprise, and Xie Xiang also raised her head curiously.
　　The man in a black tuxedo sits leisurely on the deck on the second floor with legs upright. His appearance is particularly eye-catching among the guests, but what Xie Xiang noticed most was his eyes, his brows were high. The eye sockets are deep, so his eyes are very deep, which can be described as bright stars. The man looked around, and said indifferently "Why are you looking at me? I'm telling the truth. The show is not small and the level is average."
　　Xie Xiang looked at him and felt that he was a little familiar, this man was like the young master in the special cabin that she saw on the ship.
　　His fluttering sentence seemed to be like a bowl of cold water poured into a hot oil pan, and immediately everyone downstairs became angry.
　　"Smelly boy, how do you talk?"
　　"You try to say one more thing!"
　　Everyone is vying to vent to show their anger to Qu Manting.
　　The man scratched his ears with his fingers, and staggered down the second floor with a wine bottle, squeezing into the crowd at will "Let me get through, can't you see that I'm drunk? Is it convenient for my legs and feet?"
　　The irony is that although everyone swears happily, no one really dares to stop him.
　　Putting the wine bottle in front of the stage, he burped loudly and looked up at Qu Manting "Although you can sing mediocrely, but luckily you look pretty good. Miss, we will get off work later and go out together. How about a drink? Don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory appearance fee. Gu Yanzhen is not a poor person."
　　Gu Yan Zhen, he is Gu Yan Zhen! This name is known to everyone in the schools in Peking. Apart from his stubborn deeds, the most impressive thing is the bunch of titles affixed to his name-the son of Gu Zongtang, the executive secretary of the Ministry of Interior. The grandson of the Director of the Education Department Hu Liuweng, the nephew of Hu Yunsheng and the nephew of Commander Hu, the brother-in-law of Xu Shaoshuai... any title is extremely important.
　　Everyone was shocked and talked a lot. Shouldn't Gu Yanzhen be in Peking? When did he get to Shunyuan?
　　"This gentleman, I am not a socialite, please show some respect ."
　　Qu Manting raised her eyebrows, her eyes filled with disdain. She has seen a lot of this kind of playboy in Shanghai, but he is the first one who is not afraid of death. But what Qu Manting did not expect was that even as a playboy, Gu Yanzhen was the strongest among them.
　　Gu Yanzhen ignored what she said, and dexterously turned to the stage. He carried Qu Manting on his shoulders as she screamed.
　　"Shhh, be good, we're going to run away."
　　A dozen sturdy guys stood in a row and blocked the way of the two of them. Gu Yanzhen didn't care "What? The hero saves the United States?"[1] His voice fell, he picked up a nearby backpack and slammed forward. The bodyguards were unprepared, so they backed up one after another. Some people covered their faces with their hands, and some wanted to reach out and grab the backpack waving in the air.
　　I didn't expect to see such a good show when I came to Palimo. Xie Xiang watched it with gusto. She almost sat down and then shouted.
　　Something's not right! The smile on her face gradually stiffened, how could that backpack be so familiar.
　　"Come back! My bag!"
　　Seeing Gu Yanzhen rushing out of the ballroom carrying Qu Manting, Xie Xiang hurriedly chased them, leaving only a confused Tan Xiaojun.
　　The black figure disappeared at the corner of Long Street. The street lights beside the street seemed to have been damaged due to disrepair. The general road conditions could only be seen through the faint moonlight.
　　Gu Yan's dissatisfied voice came from the front "You are so long-winded, sing so badly, and so fat, how did you become a star?" Then there was a painful hum, like he was being beaten by Qu Manting.
　　Xie Xiangsa rushed over, panting, "Stop! Let go of the person, and then return my bag to me."
　　"Hooligans?"
　　Under the street lamp, at the moment Qu Manting looked at each of them, Qu Manting's hatred and anger immediately shifted to her.
　　"You, you are in a group!"
　　Why is she so rich in imagination? Xie Xiang was taken aback, and then frowned "We're really not!"
　　Qu Manting remained unmoved "Oh, you followed me first, and then he abducted me. You were premeditated, what are you going to do? You are robbers, you are going to kidnap me!"
　　"I told you no! No! Why don't you understand human words?"
　　It's all so messy, yet Gu Yanzhen just watched the excitement on the side, "Tsk tsk, it's not easy to be a good person."
　　The two quarreled fiercely, and the sharp police whistle cut through the endless night. Immediately afterwards, dozens of police cars rushed out from the streets and alleys.
　　The car door opened, and guards in military uniforms rushed out, surrounded by three people with guns.
　　The black Chevrolet stopped around the crowd. The driver walked down and opened the car door respectfully. The driver saw a pair of black leather shoes, straight suit trousers, ironed flat gray shirt, and a dark gray windbreaker. Between the gestures, there is a calm wind of its own. With such a demeanor, apart from Shen Tingbai, there is no second person in Shunyuan County.
　　"Hey, you are a bit boring like this. Everyone is a civilized person. Why should you alarm the police if you make a joke?" Gu Yanzhen's eyes twitched and he put Qu Manting down.
　　Shen Tingbai's eyes were cold, as if the wind and rain were coming. He looked up and down at Gu Yanzhen , then set his gaze on Qu Manting, "Are you okay?"
　　Qu Manting turned her head and stomped on Gu Yanzhen's foot fiercely. No matter how Gu Yanzhen wailed behind her, she ran to Shen Tingbai as if she had found her backbone, and said in a crying voice "I'm okay, Tingbai, you can get it. Help me teach them severely!"
　　How could Shen Tingbai reject her? He walked into the car while holding her shoulders while comforting her in a soft voice.
　　When he walked to the door, he turned his head and looked at Gu Yanzhen, then at Xie Xiang, and finally set his sights on Captain He, and said meaningfully, "Captain He, it's hard work."
　　Shen Tingbai did things neatly. He was already condescending once he came here. After saving people, he left, leaving Captain He with a bad face, and a group of policemen who knocked their batons in their hands and sneered. Xie Xiang watched the black car drive farther and farther, and gradually merged into the vast night, then looked at the policemen who were gradually approaching them, suddenly panicked, and whispered to the indifferent Gu Yanframe "You have a strong backing. Yes, tell them quickly and scare them."
　　Gu Yan said sternly "This young master has always relied on himself when he walks the rivers and lakes. If he can't rely on himself and then rely on the backing, it is not a problem for a master like me to beat ten."
　　Xie Xiang was relieved when she heard that he was so heroic.
　　"But," Gu Yanzhen said, "They seem to be more than ten people."
　　"So what?" Xie Xiang had a bad premonition. The police rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward. Gu Yanzhen hurriedly squatted down with his hands on his head and shouted, "Don't slap my face!"
　　Xie Xiang looked at Gu Yanzhen dumbfounded, and couldn't help cursing, "You idiot!"
　　With this situation now, Gu Yanzhen can no longer be counted on, and she can only rely on herself. Xie Xiang snapped the wrist of a policeman rushing towards her, swung his right arm out, and moved it forward by turning the waist and straddling it, and the man fell to the ground. Looking at the momentary halt, all the policemen stared in amazement. Xie Xiang retracted the offensive and smiled triumphantly. This technique of spreading the wings of a white crane was the unique mastery of the master who taught her Chinese martial arts, and it was also the best technique Xie Xiang learned.
　　"Okay!" Captain He looked at Xie Xiang up and down, then sneered, and waved his hand, "Brothers, let's go together!"
　　It's hard to beat four hands with two fists. Though Xie Xiang is proficient in Chinese martial arts, she was helpless. In the end, she and Gu Yanzhen were dragged into the police car with a bruised nose. It was late at night when they arrived at the police station, and the full moon was hanging high. The whole Shunyuan fell silent, and they didn't even hear a dog barking.
　　The public officials realized later that it took a long time to discover that Gu Zongtang's only son had been taken into prison by themselves. Now, Deputy Chief Gu spoke and let Captain He "Haosheng" take care of him. The police station had chills, for fear that this second generation ancestor would be upset and a catastrophe would come, but the culprit took a few police officers to play cards leisurely.
　　"Two!" Gu Yanjian slapped a card and said "Look, things that weren't a big deal have to be done. Now it's so good. Everyone in Shunyuan with faces know about it. The son of Gu Zongtang, the new inspector of Feng'an Province, to grow up, was locked up in Shunyuan. At dawn, our Gu family will become the laughing stock of Shunyuan. Captain He, you are such a powerful official!"
　　The three policemen who played cards together looked at each other. Those who could win cards didn't dare to ask for them.[2] They just lowered their heads and grabbed the cards. Captain He stood by Gu Yanzhen with his waist bowed and laughed, his back was slightly numb. But he still did not dare to straighten up.
　　Xie Xiang sat aside, looking at the Gu Yanzhen playing cards with contempt. This young master screamed horribly during the fight, without any strength. Now he entered the police station and started to show his power.
　　"Captain, the Gu family has arrived." The guard entered the door and informed.
　　Gu's family finally came to pick up people!
　　The entire police station was relieved as if it received an amnesty. Captain He straightened up immediately, and invited the two people into the car respectfully as a gift to the gods.
　　As the car drove away slowly, Xie Xiang looked out through the car window, and saw the guards standing neatly in rows, their faces all covered in color, and they looked very funny.
　　After the car drove for a while, Xie Xiang couldn't wait to let the driver stop. The black car slowly stopped by the side of the road. She slammed the door, and Gu Yanzhen's voice came from behind, "Goodbye!"
　　Xie Xiang waved her hand without looking back, "Never see you again!"

Notes:
[1] Most likely implying that they're trying to do a great deed, since the U.S. is a prominent country
[2] This was originally "eat cards" but then I realized they were playing a game, and so the "eating" might mean they have a chance of winning some cards but didn't dare ask for them
