Tao Zhi picked up Tian Tian and was about to leave when someone suddenly jumped out from the corner and blocked Tao Zhiâs way.
âTao Zhiâ¦Why did you get so many good things?â Zhu Ren gritted his teeth. Why are you the eldest young master of the Tao family in the Capital?â
âYouâre crazy!â Tao Zhi kicked Zhu Renâs chest, causing him to roll on the ground. âGet lost!â
Then, he carried Tian Tian and left.
Tan Rou instructed, âTian Tian has been starving for almost three days now. She canât eat oily food now. Itâs best to cook some plain porridge for her.â
âOkay, Iâll take good care of her. Iâll leave the rest to you guys,â Tao Zhi said.
Tan Rou nodded. âDonât be too angry. The most important thing now is to take care of Tiantian. Weâll talk about the rest when she wakes up.â
She was worried that Tao Zhi would continue to blame himself for this. Tao Zhi sighed. âI understand.â
The next step was to deal with Zhu Renâs matter. The police were right next to him, so Tan Rou couldnât do anything to Zhu Ren. She squatted down and pinched Zhu Renâs legs a few times. The blood on his legs stopped flowing out.
Zhu Ren couldnât bleed too much. If he died like this, it would be too easy on him.
The police officers who followed her felt that it was very magical. They were still thinking about how to treat the wound. They did not expect that the little girl would press on the criminalâs leg a few times and the wound would stop bleeding.
âWhat was that gunshot just now? Which one of you shot someone?â the captain asked coldly.
Tan Rou knew that this matter could not be hidden. Zhu Ren could not have shot her in the leg. Tian Tian was still unconscious, so she wasnât the one who got shot either. There were only three of them inside which naturally meant that she was the one who shot Zhu Ren in the leg.
âOfficer, I fired those two shots just now.â Tan Rou looked scared again. âAt that time, that bad guy said he was going to shoot us. I was so scared that I rushed up and tried to snatch his gun but I donât know how I did it, so I shot him in the leg.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The captain did not believe Tan Ronâs words. âIs your marksmanship that accurate? He didnât hit anywhere else but his knees. In my opinion, it shouldnât be easy to hit the knee, right?â
Tan Rou naturally had her own excuse. âWhen I snatched the gun over, the muzzle was facing down. Then, I shifted the gun to the side and aimed it at his knee. At that time, I was thinking of using up all the bullets in the gun. As long as I used up all the bullets, he wouldnât be able to hit us.â
The captain of the criminal police team still had a conflicted expression on his face. âButâ¦â
Zhuang Liu said, âWeâre both shooting enthusiasts. When weâre free, weâll go to the shooting club to practice. Although weâre not using real guns, the difference isnât that big, so itâs not unusual for us to shoot.â
Tan Rou quickly chimed in. âFamilies like ours are very vulnerable to assassination. Thatâs why we can only learn some self-defense skills.â
The captain could only believe it, but he reminded him, âIn the future, if you encounter such a situation, donât rush forward rashly again. You got your hands on the pistol this time but you might not be lucky next time. If you get hurt in the process of handling it, it wonât be good.â
Tan Rou listened obediently. âAlright, officer. I wonât take any more risks.â
This was obviously a lie. Even a room full of police officers combined might not be as powerful as her. Why would Tan Rou listen to these police officers? Moreover, if they listened to the police, they would probably have to come over and collect Tian Tianâs body by now. Sometimes, one still had to rely on his own judgment.
The matter was finally resolved. All that was left was to interrogate him. Zhu Ren was injured, and the police had to take him to the hospital for treatment. The victim and the victimâs family probably did not have time to be questioned by the police, so the captain of the criminal police planned to leave with his men first.
âMiss Tan Rou, tomorrow morning at around ten oâclock, our men will send someone over to ask more about the situation. I wonder if itâs convenient for you?â the captain asked.
Tan Rou said, âLetâs wait for another two days. The criminal has been caught. Thereâs no need to be afraid of him escaping. My sister-in-lawâs condition isnât very good. I want to wait for her to fully recover before accepting the policeâs questioning.â
