Long Xiao did not rush to make a move. He walked to the scene of the fight and stopped, watching from the sidelines.
Several police officers were no match for the two dummies. These dummies were invulnerable, their bodies like iron plates that rang with metallic clangs when struck by fists.
Soon, more and more people were injured. Some police officers couldn't hold on and drew their guns, ready to use them.
"We can't use guns, it'll be too noisy and hard to explain to the citizens tomorrow," the leading officer immediately stopped them.
Long Xiao stepped forward a few paces and said, "You all step back and leave them to me."
"Who are you? They're dangerous," the leading officer said, looking at Long Xiao vigilantly.
"I'm just a concerned citizen, passing by."
What the heck, passing by? In the middle of the night, first two invulnerable people, and now someone just passing by.
Before the police officers could react, Long Xiao had already charged forward.
It had been a while since he had used 'Violent Dragon Fist'. His strength had greatly increased recently, and he wondered how powerful it had become.
There were no flashy moves. A straight punch slammed into the chest of one of the dummies.
With a deafening boom, the dummy was sent flying, disappearing into the darkness of the night sky.
Even Long Xiao was surprised. He hadn't expected 'Violent Dragon Fist' to be so much stronger. A full-power strike had sent the dummy soaring.
For the second dummy, Long Xiao used only fifty percent of his strength, but the result was the same. The dummy was also sent flying into the sky with a single punch.
Hidden in the shadows, the middle-aged man controlling the dummies spat out a mouthful of blood. He wondered who this person was, and how someone so powerful could exist in Donghai.
Wiping the blood from his lips, he formed hand seals and chanted incantations, concentrating his energy to control the dummies again.
Long Xiao had only been momentarily stunned when he heard a piercing sound from the sky.
He looked up and saw the two dummies descending like meteors, whistling through the air.
"Kid, quickly dodge, don't try to block!" the leading officer shouted urgently as he saw Long Xiao preparing to use 'Violent Dragon Fist' again.
Long Xiao gathered his focus, drawing all the golden energy from his dantian and enveloping his hands.
The moment Long Xiao's fists met the swords of the two dummies, another thunderous sound erupted.
Paper scraps filled the sky. The middle-aged man controlling the dummies from the shadows felt as if his chest had been struck by a heavy hammer.
With a pfft, he spat out a large mouthful of blood, his legs turned weak, and he collapsed onto the ground.
Long Xiao retracted his fists, looked at the scattered paper scraps, and turned to leave.
Long Xiao had long since detected the backlash on the middle-aged man. Without knowing who the mastermind was, there was no need to capture him; he was just a pawn.
As Long Xiao left, the middle-aged man, suffering from the backlash, struggled to his feet and stumbled away into the distance. Long Xiao's power was too immense; he knew he wouldn't be able to escape if he didn't leave now.
"Kid, can you tell me who you are? I'll be grateful..."
Watching Long Xiao leave, a police officer tried to call out to him, but his words were cut off by the leading officer.
"Shut up, are you stupid? If he wanted you to know who he was, he wouldn't have kept his mask on."
As Long Xiao's figure faded into the distance, the leading officer called Lu Tianxing and reported the situation.
Lu Tianxing knew that the person wearing the mask was likely Long Xiao.
He had watched everything that happened outside from the third floor. Long Xiao's strength was astonishing; his progress was simply too rapid.
"The person with the mask is one of us. Don't try to find him. This matter ends here. Bring the equipment tomorrow to inspect the villa. You all go back and rest."
After making arrangements, Lu Tianxing hung up the phone, his brow furrowed. He thought and thought, but couldn't figure out who was controlling this unknown force.
Long Xiao drove straight home after the fight. It was past eleven when he got back. Just as he was about to get into bed, Lin Xuan pushed the door open and walked in.
"You're back."
Long Xiao nodded, looking at Lin Xuan without speaking. He could tell that Lin Xuan seemed to have something to tell him.
"Long Xiao, Director Huang told me that you've agreed to expand our pharmaceutical factory."
Long Xiao nodded again. Lin Xuan continued, "Long Xiao, I want to buy a few more production lines and build the entire courtyard into a production workshop."
"The warehouse isn't big enough. Where will the produced goods be stored?" Long Xiao asked.
"Let's tear down the warehouse too and turn it into a production workshop. We'll rent a warehouse from outside and find a location near it to establish our own pharmaceutical company."
Long Xiao listened to Lin Xuan's plan and shook his head, saying, "Your plan is very good, but it'll take too long. I want to halt our pharmaceutical factory and transform it into a pharmaceutical group. We'll provide the technology and cooperate with other pharmaceutical companies, then share the profits."
"That's good, but I'm worried we won't find any cooperating pharmaceutical companies."
Long Xiao chuckled, "Our 'Beauty Pill' is already in high demand. As long as we propose cooperation, any fool would agree."
Seeing Long Xiao's confidence, Lin Xuan nodded in agreement, and they began discussing how to establish the pharmaceutical company.
In less than a month, the pharmaceutical factory had made tens of millions in profit. Lin Xuan was unwilling to stop. She decided to buy a large building to serve as the headquarters of the newly established pharmaceutical company.
Establishing the pharmaceutical company, selecting the headquarters, and finding people to discuss cooperation were not difficult. The difficult part was finding someone trustworthy to be the manager of the pharmaceutical company.
Lin Xuan was the CEO of Lin's Group and couldn't take the position. Long Xiao was too busy and couldn't either. They thought about it, but couldn't find a suitable candidate.
"Lin Xuan, with you behind the scenes controlling it, operating the pharmaceutical company won't be difficult. Why don't we just find someone random?"
Long Xiao's words reminded Lin Xuan of a middle school classmate. Although they hadn't been in contact for a long time, this classmate was absolutely trustworthy.
"Long Xiao, I have a middle school classmate. She's very intelligent and capable, but her family was poor, and she didn't go to university."
"Then contact her as soon as possible. I don't understand company establishment, so it'll all be up to you. If there's not enough money, I'll find a way."
"No need, I still have over five hundred million. The money is enough."
After they finished discussing, Lin Xuan prepared to go back to sleep. Long Xiao walked her to the door and spread his arms, saying, "Wife, hug me, or I won't be able to sleep."
Lin Xuan turned and glared at Long Xiao, "Not a chance."
Just as Long Xiao was feeling disappointed, a soft body entered his embrace.
Long Xiao lowered his head, and his warm lips met hers, pressing together.
A few minutes later, they separated. Lin Xuan's face was flushed red. It was her first long kiss.
Long Xiao smiled and said, "Wife, why don't you stay? Stay in my room tonight."
Lin Xuan glared at Long Xiao again, "Not a chance."
This time, Long Xiao didn't wait for Lin Xuan to stay. He only heard the door slam shut as Lin Xuan closed it.
