"No license? Okay, come to the police station with me!"
The pretty policewoman said without hesitation, and signaled Li Tian to get out of the car.
The penalty for driving without a license was a fine of up to $3000 and 7 to 15 days in jail.
Li Tian looked at Su Xiao Yue as if he was asking her through his eyes, What do I do? Do I open the door, or not?
"Open the door, get out of the car!"
Su Xiao Yue couldn't possibly allow Li Tian to continue driving as the car's number plate belonged to the Qing Cheng International Group. If they were exposed, both the company and Li Tian would get into serious trouble.
Companies like Lin Yi's especially feared having negative articles written about them as their competitors would never let it go.
Li Tian was forced to listen to Su Xiao Yue.
He got out of the car and stood in front of the pretty policewoman.
He immediately realised that this woman's height was unbelievable. She wasn't wearing any high heels but she was almost his height.
"Hello, pretty lady. I was ordered by the company, I have nothing to do with this."
As soon as he got off, he tried to shift the responsibility of his crime.
Upon hearing this, Su Xiao Yue almost bumped her head on the roof of the car when she was getting ready to get out.
I can't believe those words came out of that jackass' mouth.
She had initially wanted to use her connections to help solve the issue but Li Tian's words made her change her mind.
She didn't get off, but instead moved herself to the driver's seat.
"Bang..."
She closed the car door and put her head out of the window and said, "Ma'am, I'll leave it to you to handle this man's unlicensed driving. My license is here, I'll leave first."
Su Xiao Yue took out her driving license and as soon as she had finished her sentence, she drove off with the car.
As you might have guessed, she had left Li Tian there all by himself.
It all happened extremely rapidly, and Li Tian didn't even have time to react.
By the time he snapped out of his stupor, the car was already gone.
As he looked at the mess that he had gotten himself into, despite having a strong mentality, Li Tian almost failed to hide his despair.
Once again, he tasted the feeling of being abandoned by someone.
For a moment, Li Tian wondered if he had lazed around too much these days, causing him to get into situations such as this.
"Okay, since she already left, I guess I'll go with you to the police station."
Li Tian didn't even feel like making excuses anymore.
Upon feeling like this, Li Tian realised that it wasn't that he didn't mind being abandoned when he was younger, or when the Li family made him suffer so much, but he merely chose not to think about it.
Li Sheng Nan was in a bad mood today. She had just graduated from the police academy and thought that she could finally become a policewoman, but she didn't expect to be allocated as a traffic police. They convinced her that it was just so she could receive training for a while.
However, she still did her best in her tasks, as it was her childhood dream to become a police officer. Even if she was only a traffic police, she still maintained a serious demeanour and a committed attitude towards her job.
When she saw a car driving extremely speedily, she immediately signaled the driver to pull over for a quick inspection. However, she later found out that the driver was diving without a license.
Unlicensed driving, this is a criminal offence. Li Sheng Nan suddenly felt a little ecstatic, as she had a case on her first day of work.
Although she didn't like the fact that the woman had left the guy behind, she brushed it off because he got himself into this for driving without a license.
At the beginning, this man an extremely smooth talker, but abruptly became listless. She didn't know why, but she was slightly affected by this.
In spite of this, she still exclaimed, "Follow me!"
...
Things like this didn't have to go through any major procedure at the police station.
"Contact your family members. You still have to pay a fine but as for the detainment, we'll hand the case over to your local police station."
Li Sheng Nan guided the man through a few procedures and got to know his name.
Li Tian. He had the same surname as her.
Family? Upon hearing this word, Li Tian suddenly felt a knot in his heart.
Did he have any family? True family? The only one he considered his family was his aunt, but he didn't know her whereabouts.
"I don't have any family family members, I'll pay for the fine myself."
Li Tian had never been so obedient, but at the same time he still looked listless.
After Li Tian paid for his fine, Li Sheng Nan brought Li Tian to his local police station. After all, it was only a minor offence, which didn't even need his phone to be confiscated.
However, when they stood in front of the doors, a man wearing his police uniform rushed over.
"Hey, how did you get here? Uh..."
That guy looked like he was in his early twenties. He still looked as youthful as a schoolboy, but as soon as he saw Li Tian, he was surprised, but soon let out a chuckle.
"Aren't you Brother Tian? What's the matter, why are you here at the police station? Not to mention with my sister?"
He laughed and said. He then took the piece of paper that Li Sheng Nan was holding in her hands.
"Driving without a license? Haha..."
Li Sheng Nan wanted to greet her brother when she saw him but she didn't expect her brother to know Li Tian. Based on his scornful smile, she could almost tell that they weren't on good terms.
"You Ran, you know him?
Li You Ran was Li Sheng Nan's younger brother by a year. He was also a police officer.
"Sis, you weren't there for grandpa's funeral a few days ago so you might not know him, but the man in front of your eyes is our Li family's heir, 'big brother' Li Tian."
He emphasized 'big brother' as he spoke.
"Oh? You're..."
Li Sheng Nan felt awkward as she had just arrested her own family member.
"Yeah."
Li Tian simply answered.
Li You Ran who was standing beside looked at him and snorted. Li Tian still wanted to act cool at a time like this?
"Brother Tian, why were you careless to the point where you got caught driving without a license? Do you need me to bail you out?"
If someone were to bail him out, this matter could easily be overlooked.
As Li Sheng Nan heard that, her eyes twinkled.
"Yes, You Ran, go bail him out so he just needs to pay the fine."
"What a shame. As a family, it's natural for me to do this for him. However, Brother Tian is the Li family's heir. If word got out that a little lackey like me had bailed him out, it would taint his reputation. Brother Tian, I think it would be better for you to get someone of similar status to bail you out."
Li You Ran cackled as soon as he finished his sentence, then walked into the station without giving Li Tian a second glance.
From the beginning, Li Tian didn't say a word because he knew how Li You Ran felt about him. When he was at his grandpa's funeral, he'd already seen it clearly.
At the same time, Li Sheng Nan understood that her younger brother and the heir of the Li family really weren't on good terms.
"You Ran, what's so funny?"
Li You Ran walked into the building and heard a voice.
It was a female police officer, one who looked like he could triumph over at any moment.
Although he was only a police officer, he would sometimes reveal that he was a part of Beijing's prestigious Li family. So, many people at the police station would butter him up, and this policewoman was one of them.
"Oh, Li Li, it was nothing. I just came across a dog, so I just felt like laughing."
"Oh? I saw everything, weren't you talking to a man?"
"He so insignificant that he's no different to a dog in my eyes!"
"You're so mean..."
