Outside the store at this very moment, several police officers who had just entered the store were gathered, while a few others were hiding in the corners outside.
As soon as the three suspects stepped out of the door, the police officers swarmed in and immediately subdued them.
Especially Officer Chu Tong was truly fierce. She charged to the front and unleashed the most brutal moves. With a swift shoulder throw, she forcefully slammed one suspect to the ground, and with a swift apprehension, she pressed her knee against the personâs back. Instantly, the individual lost all ability to resist.
All of this didnât surprise Ye Xiaofei; instead, he found it rather boring. He had expected to witness a thrilling spectacle, but it was resolved so effortlessly.
However, at the same time, the sound of Ning Xiaoyuâs cry made Ye Xiaofeiâs heart race, and he quickly turned toward the source of the sound.
He saw a man in his thirties holding Ning Xiaoyu hostage, a dagger pressed against her neck.
The man was not tall, slightly thin, but his eyes were sharp like triangles, emitting a chilling gaze.
Ning Xiaoyuâs face turned pale, and she dared not move.
The man with triangular eyes menacingly shouted, âYou all, release them now! Otherwise, Iâll kill this girl.â
Officer Chu Tong pointed at him and shouted sternly, âRelease her! Hostage-taking is a serious crime!â
The suspect responded fiercely, âSerious crime? Haha⦠What crime havenât 1 committed? You caught us in the end, and the result is death anyway. Either you release my people and let us go, or 1â11 kill two innocent people. Two for one, sounds like a bargain to me.â
Officer Chu Tong and the other police officers exchanged glances. The villain before them was a ruthless bandit who had already taken several lives. Ordinary psychological tactics were bound to be ineffective.
Ye Xiaofei, witnessing Ning Xiaoyuâs helpless expression, felt anger surging within him. Gritting his teeth, he solemnly declared, âIâll count to three; let her go, or Iâll make you beg for death.â
The man with triangular eyes stared at Ye Xiaofei as if he was looking at a monster and cursed, âYou think you can threaten me too?â
âOne!â Ye Xiaofei paid no attention and slowly uttered a single word.
The man scornfully said, âCome on! I want to see how youâll make me beg for death.â
âTwo!â
Ye Xiaofei spoke another word and took a step forward. Chu Tong quickly grabbed his arm and anxiously said, âDonât act recklessly. We need to ensure the safety of the hostage.â
Ye Xiaofei stared at her, his eyes piercing, and shouted, âGet out of the way!â
Chu Tong felt a surge of strength pushing her arm away, involuntarily releasing her grip on Ye Xiaofeiâs arm.
âThree!â
âF*ck!â The guy with the triangular eyes got furious in an instant. He pulled back his wrist and intended to shed some blood from Ning Xiaoyu.
But at that moment, he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his wrist, followed by an immediate loss of sensation in his hand. It was as if he couldnât even feel the presence of his hand anymore.
The dagger in his hand slipped from his grip and fell directly to the ground.
His vision blurred, and he saw a figure appearing right in front of him, snatching away the hostage he had been controlling.
Startled, he turned around, intending to rush back into the store and find another hostage.
But a sudden numbness struck his calf, causing him to fall heavily to the ground.
Ye Xiaofei held Ning Xiaoyu tightly in his arms, and she clung to his waist, bursting into tears.
Seeing that the hostage threat had been eliminated, several police officers immediately rushed forward, attempting to apprehend the guy. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBack off!â Ye Xiaofei shouted coldly.
The police officers completely ignored Ye Xiaofei and continued their advance.
With a swift movement, Ye Xiaofei sidestepped and swung his arm, throwing the police officers, including Chu Tong, out, away from him.
âWhat are you doing?â Chu Tong yelled at Ye Xiaofei.
Ye Xiaofei responded coldly, âThis guy harmed my sister. Iâm going to deal with him. Until Iâm done, no one touches him.â
One police officer stared angrily and shouted, âKid, weâre the police. You better not interfere!â
âHumph!â Ye Xiaofei snorted coldly and said, âIf you donât believe me, come and try. Iâll give you one chance, and there wonât be a second.â
The police officers turned unpleasant, about to explode in anger, but Chu Tong stopped them and said, âYe Xiaofei, what exactly are you planning to do?â
Casting a sidelong glance at Chu Tong, Ye Xiaofei replied, âYouâd better control your people, or else donât come looking for me in the future.â
Chu Tong was taken aback and quickly lowered her voice, saying to her colleagues, âThis is the divine doctor who saved our captain. Donât offend him under any circumstances.â
The anger in the eyes of those police officers disappeared instantly.
The guy with triangular eyes felt completely powerless at this moment. He looked at Ye Xiaofeiâs icy gaze, a chill running through his body. He tried to remain calm and said, âWhat do you want?â
Ye Xiaofei said coldly, âIâve already told you. I want to make you beg for death. So what do you think 1 want to do?â
That guy was quite ruthless himself and sneered, âHumph, if youâve got the guts, go ahead and kill me. Letâs see if Iâll even flinch.â
A wicked smile appeared on Ye Xiaofeiâs face, and he said, âVery well, 1 hope you can stay that defiant..â
