As Ye Xiaofei was saying, his right foot swiftly struck several pressure points on the triangular-eyed man, and then he stepped back.
âAll right, you can take him away now.â
âHuh? Is it over already?â Chu Tong was still a bit bewildered.
âNo need to say more.â Ye Xiaofei gave her a stern look, then carried Ning Xiaoyu and went straight back to the store.
Ye Xiaofei and Ning Xiaoyu returned to their seats. She was still tightly clinging to him, trembling.
With one hand, Ye Xiaofei gently patted Ning Xiaoyuâs shoulder, while the other tenderly stroked her hair. In a soft voice, he said, âXiaoyu, donât be afraid. Itâs over now. Iâve taken care of that bad person.â
After a few minutes passed, Ning Xiaoyuâs body finally relaxed gradually, and she slowly lifted her head.
âXiaofei!â Ning Xiaoyuâs eyes were still filled with tears. How could an eighteen-year-old girl have encountered such a terrifying situation? The fear in her heart couldnât be easily dispelled.
Ye Xiaofei wiped her tears with a tissue and said, âThat guy has been taken away by the police. Iâve avenged you too. The thing he will regret the most in his life is taking you hostage.â
Ning Xiaoyu didnât understand the meaning behind Ye Xiaofeiâs words, but his tone reassured her a lot, and her thoughts became clearer.
âXiaofei, where did your⦠girlfriend go just now?â
Ye Xiaofei angrily replied, âItâs all because of this woman that you got scared.â
Ning Xiaoyu asked in confusion, âWhat does she have to do with it?â
Ye Xiaofei snorted coldly and said, âShe canât possibly be my girlfriend. Sheâs a police officer who came in to track those criminals. She pretended to be my girlfriend to deceive them and prevent them from discovering her true identity. If she didnât come to find me, how could that criminal have taken you hostage? So, itâs her fault.â
âAll? Are you saying that everything just now was acting? None of it was real?â Ning Xiaoyuâs spirits lifted when she heard this.
Ye Xiaofei saw Ning Xiaoyuâs state improve and his tone became more relaxed. He said, âYeah, that policewoman has a terrible temper. 1 guess 1 would only let her be my girlfriend if I were drugged.â
Ning Xiaoyuâs eyes instantly brightened, but then she pouted and said, âEven if it was acting, you two were doing⦠doing⦠too much. I couldnât bear it.â
Ye Xiaofei also felt a bit embarrassed and said, âI was influenced by her just now. I didnât expect her to go that far. Iâm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable, Xiaoyu. Tell me what you want, and 1â11 buy it for you as an apology.â
Ning Xiaoyu pouted but then smiled and said, âItâs okay, Xiaofei. 1 only ate a little bit earlier, so Iâm not full yet.â
âThen letâs continue our meal.â Ye Xiaofei was about to get up and sit across from Ning Xiaoyu.
Ning Xiaoyu blushed and said, âXiaofei, just sit here. My⦠my hand is a bit weak. I want you to help me with the dishes.â
âThat scared you.â Ye Xiaofei immediately said with a pained expression, âThen Iâll sit here and help you.â
With Ye Xiaofei by her side, Ning Xiaoyu seemed to have forgotten the fright she had just experienced.
Ye Xiaofei did his best to comfort her. After all, the issue that happened could easily leave a psychological impact on a young girl.
Back at the detective bureau, the air was filled with continuous screams.
Chu Tong watched as the triangular-eyed manâs face contorted, and she couldnât help but shudder.
When the triangular-eyed man got into the police car earlier, he started complaining about itching shortly after, but it subsided after a few minutes. Chu Tong and the others didnât take it seriously, thinking he was just making excuses for something.
However, half an hour later, the man suddenly screamed again. This time, his agony was evident as his body writhed and his hands incessantly scratched his skin, leaving red marks.
But just like before, it stopped after a few minutes.
By the time they arrived at the detective bureau, about another half an hour later, he began screaming once again.
This time his reaction was even more intense. Despite being handcuffed, he used all his strength to scratch anywhere his hands could reach, causing multiple blood marks on his skin, some even bleeding.
âWhatâs going on? Why havenât we rushed him to the hospital in this condition?â the deputy squad leader asked Chu Tong, rushing over to her.
Chu Tong rolled her eyes and replied, âI feel like this is the work of a miracle doctor. Sending him to the hospital would probably be useless, donât you think?â
âA miracle doctor? What happened?â
Chu Tong recounted the whole incident that had just occurred.
The deputy squad leader furrowed his brow and said, âDid the miracle doctor just say that he wants him to beg for death?â
âYes!â Chu Tong nodded emphatically.
âAlright! Take all necessary precautions. We cannot let this man commit suicide. If the miracle doctor said heâs not allowed to die, then we wonât let him. This despicable criminal deserves it.â
âUnderstood!â
Chu Tong straightened her posture and agreed. She thought the deputy squad leader made a lot of sense.
âIt seems that the miracle doctor is not only skilled in medicine but also quite proficient in martial arts. Chu Tong, heâs undoubtedly a talented individual. When the time comes, you should have a good conversation with him about the situation here. Weâll follow his lead and show some goodwill.â
âYes, sir!â Chu Tong responded loudly..
