Grandmaster Uncle? Are you kidding me?

Watching Li Sichen leave the police station, Xiao Liu and the others couldn't help bursting into tears of joy and high-fiving each other in celebration.

"He's gone, he's gone! The jinx has finally left! The tension I've been holding onto can finally be released!"

"Oh my goodness, the brat has finally gotten out of here! I don't care who he goes off to plague next, as long as it's not us! Whew... you guys have no idea, I was worried the whole time, terrified he'd conjure up some more bad luck for us. Good thing the female Tyrannosaurus Rex arrived just in time and dragged him away!"

"Oh, come off it. That kid wasn't dragged away by the female Tyrannosaurus Rex at all; he left because he finished watching the show and found it boring here. Otherwise, forget the female Tyrannosaurus Rex, even the bureau chief wouldn't have been able to do anything. I've figured it out—in that kid's dictionary, the word 'fear' simply doesn't exist. I really wonder what kind of background he has. Dressed so ordinarily, how can he be so utterly full of confidence and imposing presence?"

"Whatever his background is, I've made up my mind. From now on, whenever I see this kid, I'm going to stay as far away from him as humanly possible! That boy is just too bizarre. Background or no background, he's not someone we can afford to mess with or offend!"

The last person's words met with the unanimous agreement of everyone present. They chorused, "That's right! Next time we see this kid, we're staying as far away as we can!"

Li Sichen and Tan Ying were completely unaware of the drama that had unfolded inside the office building.

Sitting in the SUV police car driven by Tan Ying, Li Sichen first looked around. Upon confirming that the SUV was not some high-end luxury vehicle, he finally relaxed and let out a sigh of relief.

Li Sichen was now certain that the reason he had been framed and brought into the police station today was entirely due to the self-indulgence of dining and singing earlier. Fortunately, the level of his indulgence wasn't overly excessive, and on top of that, he had rushed into a blazing fire to rescue Yuan Yifei, accumulating a certain amount of merit. That was the only reason the situation hadn't spiraled out of control.

Otherwise, even though he had quietly altered the feng shui within the police station to bring misfortune upon Wang Guotao, Xiao Liu, and the others one after another, he would have suffered a backlash of bad luck right along with them.

"Where to?" Tan Ying asked after driving the car out of the police station.

"The nearest subway station," Li Sichen replied. He still needed to head back to school because his electric scooter was parked in the school's parking lot.

"Got it." Tan Ying nodded and drove straight to the entrance of a nearby subway station.

"Thank you. Please take this," Li Sichen said as he stepped out of the car. Along with expressing his gratitude, he fished a shiny copper coin from his pocket and handed it to Tan Ying.

Tan Ying waved her hand in refusal, saying, "I'm not interested in ancient coins, and our police unit has strict discipline against accepting gifts."

Li Sichen said, "Just take it. This copper coin is a Tongbao from the Daoguang era, and it's not worth much. If you take it to an antique market to sell, you'd get at most a few yuan for it. Since this is our first time meeting, I don't have anything particularly good to give you, so consider this a token greeting."

An ordinary Daoguang Tongbao indeed wasn't worth much, but the one in Li Sichen's hand was different. Because it wasn't just an ordinary ancient coin—it was a feng shui ritual instrument! Of course, ordinary people couldn't tell its value. Only someone equally well-versed in feng shui would be able to recognize it and realize that this Daoguang Tongbao had already become a treasured artifact!

There was a reason why Li Sichen was giving a feng shui artifact to Tan Ying.

From the faint trace of baleful aura hidden between Tan Ying's eyebrows, Li Sichen could tell that in a few days, she was going to encounter a bloody calamity! Without precautions, there was a very high possibility that this calamity would cost her her life!

Tan Ying was Tan Xiaoxiao's aunt, and she had come to the police station to help him—even though she hadn't actually ended up helping, the good intention was there. Given these circumstances, Li Sichen naturally couldn't stand by and watch her die.

Tan Ying was unaware of these inner workings and continued to refuse: "Whether it's valuable or not, I can't accept it. Besides, for a first meeting, shouldn't it be the elder giving a greeting gift to the junior? You've got it backward, kid."

Li Sichen replied with a completely serious expression, "I haven't got it backward at all; I am indeed your elder! This martial arts skill of yours must have been learned from Hu Zhanpu, right? Hu Zhanpu's master would still have to address me as senior martial brother if he saw me. Tell me, does that make me your elder or not?"

"What?" Tan Ying's jaw dropped in shock.

Li Sichen was right; she did indeed learn her martial arts from Hu Zhanpu. But no matter what, she could never believe that her grandmaster would call Li Sichen senior martial brother!

You must know that her grandmaster was the renowned national martial arts grandmaster Chang Qing, who was already eighty years old and held an extremely high seniority status in both domestic and international martial arts circles. Every single person who could be considered his peer was a senior in their seventies or eighties!

How old was Li Sichen?

Fifteen or sixteen, tops!

How could such a little punk be of the same generation as Chang Qing? And on top of that, Chang Qing had to call him senior martial brother? Wouldn't that mean she'd have to call him grand-uncle-master? What kind of international joke was this!

Tan Ying's face instantly darkened, and she issued a cold, threatening warning: "Kid, I'm warning you, don't you dare make jokes about my grandmaster and my master. Otherwise, forget about you being Tan Xiaoxiao's classmate—even if you were her boyfriend, I'd still beat you to a pulp!"

A joke?

Li Sichen let out a dry, helpless laugh. However, he didn't offer any explanation, nor did he continue the topic. He simply said, "Regardless, you must keep this copper coin, and it's best if you keep it on your person, right against your left chest."

"Why?" Tan Ying asked, puzzled, though she didn't dwell further on the previous issue.

She had originally thought that Li Sichen was giving her the ancient coin to thank her for stepping in to help. She had never expected that the coin would be worthless, yet Li Sichen would make such a bizarre demand.

Was this really a gift of gratitude? Why did it feel so strange?

While Tan Ying was still dazed, Li Sichen directly shoved the copper coin into her hand and dropped a final sentence: "Remember, make sure you keep it right against your left chest!" With that, he turned around and strode down the entrance of the subway station.

"Hey, wait—" Recovering her senses, Tan Ying tried to call Li Sichen back, but the other party completely ignored her and walked straight away.

"What a weird guy." Tan Ying withdrew her gaze, looked down at the copper coin in her hand, and after a moment of hesitation, slid it into her pocket anyway. "Whatever, the coin looks pretty enough, and since it's not worth anything anyway, I'll just keep it around as a little trinket."

Afterward, Tan Ying took out her phone and dialed her niece Tan Xiaoxiao to inform her of the situation.

Meanwhile, back inside the police station, Xiao Liu and the others were staring in dumbfounded astonishment at the group of people standing before them.

"Where is the student you brought back? Where is he? Release him immediately! Otherwise, I will most certainly take every single one of you here to court!" A beautiful woman was roaring angrily at them.
