Chapter 643: Exchange students

“If saying sorry is all it takes, then why do we need the cops?” Xiao Luo raised his brows.
Davis looked confused and asked, “Sir, didn’t you demand her apology just now?”
“No, no. Whatever had happened earlier stays in the past. I am talking about right now.”
Xiao Luo wagged his finger at the female inspector, then in the next instant, he slapped her hard on her face.
SMACK!
The resounding sound of the slap echoed through the cavernous customs hall. The inspector was shaken by the force of the blow and held her burning cheek. She could only stare at Xiao Luo with eyes that carried a mixture of shock and fear.
Everyone present there dropped their jaws in disbelieve. They had never seen such a scene.
“Is Brother Luo challenging the authority? He has just slapped the customs inspector!”
“Oh, my gosh. You’re my hero, Brother Luo!”
Both Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai became excited. Judging by the look of their faces, they undoubtedly hero-worshipped Xiao Luo. He had just slapped the face of a customs inspector in a Mei Nation airport. Such an action was unprecedented, and witnessing it firsthand, they could not stop burbling in awe.
“Xiao Luo, he… What is he going to do…”
Zhong Meili became anxious as she recovered from her state of shock. She worried for Xiao Luo, for he was causing trouble in a foreign land. He was putting himself in such a precarious situation.
“Hero Luo is incredible. I cannot believe that he dared to slap the face of a customs inspector,” Wang Ling gushed.
Huang Ruoran remained quiet the whole time and just stared straight at Xiao Luo.
Davis finally recovered from the shock. Xiao Luo slapping the inspector was as good as slapping him, and it was a huge blow to his dignity. He reacted to Xiao Luo’s actions with a scathing rebuke. “How dare you slap our staff? Who gave you the courage to do this? Security, arrest this man!” Davis roared, signaling for the security officers to move in.
Xiao Luo smiled and responded, “Mr. Davis, are you sure you want to arrest me? That video will get leaked to the Internet at any time. Are you sure that you can handle the backlash of negative public opinion brought about by this video?”
His words had hit home, and immediately, Davis stopped in his tracks. Davis was frustrated as the threat had rendered him powerless. Xiao Luo was right about one thing–there was no way he’d be able to handle the consequences if the video went viral, and he’d have to face the wrath of his superiors.
“Chief, seek justice for me!” said the inspector in a rage-filled voice.
Humiliated in public, the inspector’s hatred toward Xiao Luo was at unprecedented heights. Aiming to escalate the conflict, she sought sympathy from Davis. “Look, my face is so swollen from that slap,” she said.
“What the f*ck!”
Davis cursed at the inspector and smacked her as she tried to show him the swelling on her face.
SMACK!
It was even louder than the one Xiao Luo had delivered. Davis slapped her so hard that she spun around on the spot. Tears gushed as a glowering red mark appeared on her face.
“You are in no position to complain! Are you aware that you are the cause of this whole mess? So you want to stir this up further? Alright, I want your resignation letter by the end of today. You are not fit to work here. Now, get out!”
Davis had vented his wrath on the inspector as she was the culprit who instigated the commotion. If she had not insulted the travelers from Hua Nation, Xiao Luo would not have had recorded the incident. Her petty remarks had now put him in such a situation. Having to bow down to a Hua Nation traveler was a great insult to him.
When she heard what Davis had said, she turned as white as a sheet and slumped to the floor.
Davis turned to the other security inspectors and said, “The same goes to all of you. You are the face of the Mei Nation while you are on the job. You all need to be discerning in every word and action as you represent our country. I do not wish to see any such incident like this happening again in the future.”
Davis sounded righteous and authoritative.
Clap. Clap. Clap.
Xiao Luo instantly applauded him.
As he did so, everyone around him followed suit and expressed their approval on how Davis had handled the situation.
“Mr. Davis, you are such a fair and righteous chief. It is to the credit of the Mei Nation that they had appointed you as their chief of customs,” Xiao Luo effused.
Inwardly, Davis felt disgusted and was so upset that his eyes were popping out of their sockets. Davis knew Xiao Luo was mocking him when he clapped and flattered him and had meant the exact opposite of what he had spoken. However, Davis could not openly express his anger at Xiao Luo and could only smile at him. “Sir, that video…” he said.
“Don’t worry. I am very impressed with how Mr. Davis handled this matter. That video will never appear online,” Xiao Luo replied.
“Then can you delete it now, please?” Davis asked.
“Sure,” Xiao Luo said.
He deleted the video in front of Davis and then sent a message to his friend from the Hua Nation to delete the video, as well.
Davis’ eyes lit up, and he smiled slyly.

Due to the commotion caused by Xiao Luo, the customs officers prioritized the clearance of every Hua Nation traveler. Suddenly, the clearing process became complicated no more. They merely had to confirm their travel dates and their identities. It was obvious that the customs wanted to clear all the Hua Nation travelers as soon as possible.
“Brother Luo, you are truly impressive. My respect for you is so great that it can fill up the yellow river!”
Both Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai followed Xiao Luo like a shadow, and they even continued tailing him after leaving the airport. Although it had been a year since they last met, their friendship had not grown apart, and it showed.
“We are all products of the same education system. How did you turn out to be so outstanding?”
“Haha, haha…”
They bantered and laughed. It had been a while, and the guys missed fooling around with each other.
“By the way, what are you all doing in the Mei Nation?” Xiao Luo asked, changing the topic.
Huang Ruoran finally found her chance to join the conversation and said, “Our school had four slots for the exchange student program with the University of Washington. We are here to learn and to experience life in the Mei Nation.”
Zhu Xiaofei chuckled and said, “That’s right. Kai and I were not qualified for this wonderful opportunity since our results are the worst in the class. But being the most beloved babies in our batch, all the girls voted for us. So, here we are.”
“Brother Luo, are you a little disappointed in not seeing Sister Chu?” Ding Kai asked.
Huang Ruoran’s expression changed a little when she heard that.
Xiao Luo asked him, “Why should I be? Yes, that makes me wonder, why isn’t she here? She should be qualified for this trip.”
“Princess Yue pulled out on her own.”
Wang Ling responded, “I replaced her instead.”
“Sister Chu doesn’t need this slot at all. With her family background, she can visit any place in the world she wanted to and even can stay for as many days as she likes. Besides, she used to live here in the Mei Nation for some time when she was younger. That’s the reason why her spoken English is fluent,” Zhu Xiaofei said.
“If Princess Yue knew that we ran into hero Luo here, she would regret not coming,” Wang Ling remarked with a giggle.
