Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Falling by Oneself (3rd Update)
Before at the police station, Zhou Yan only thought Lin Xi was just slightly better than her, not outrageously skilled, but during the confrontation at McDonaldâs, especially after the reports from her subordinates, Lin Xi alone managed to drive away the Hunchback Old Man and another person.
The Hunchback Old Man and Jade Fox have been notorious fugitives in the country for five or six years, and they had never been captured.
This shows how formidable these two individuals are.
However, the investigation results showed that Lin Xi seemed to have driven them away with just a few moves.
So the moment she arrived, she pulled out her gun, hoping to intimidate Lin Xi and cuff him, yet she didnât expect Lin Xi to be so proficient with guns.
He wielded it as if it were a part of his body, undoubtedly a top expert immersed in this skill for many years.
According to Zhou Yanâs exceptional professional instinct, not only is this person unbelievably strong, but his skill with firearms is also extraordinarily rare; she had yet to find anyone who could handle a gun so expertly.
Therefore, it was impossible for such a person to remain unknown.
But this is the contradiction: Zhou Yan had previously investigated Lin Xiâs background.
The results showed that Lin Xi was raised by his grandfather, with nothing extraordinary to note, except the peculiarity that Lin Xi frequently went out alone after the age of ten.
However, there was no record of these outings.
"You scoundrel, who exactly are you?" Zhou Yan asked softly, as she was too afraid to move her body.
If not careful, an accidental discharge could occur.
She was well aware of her imagination regarding men; otherwise, she wouldnât have trained so hard in combat, largely to protect herself.
Lin Xi also felt uncomfortable at this moment.
"A freshman at Jiangnan University," Lin Xi whispered in her ear, "Itâs the most prestigious school in the south, with credibility assured."
"Thatâs not what Iâm asking!" Zhou Yan snapped, anger making her move slightly.
"Then what are you asking?" Lin Xi honestly couldnât understand what Zhou Yan was thinking; isnât it nice to just stay quietly like this?
Lin Xi lowered his head again and whispered in her ear, "Stay like this, donât move, you know why."
"You... bastard!"
"Is being a bastard so bad?"
In fact, Lin Xi felt quite helpless too; it really wasnât his fault.
Zhou Yan was exuding a delicate fragrance; perhaps she hadnât been out on duty today and had deliberately worn some perfume.
All of these factors combined made it take a while for him to calm down.
However, from an outsiderâs perspective, it seemed rather ambiguous.
And speaking in whispersâis this an intimate secret?
Werenât they about to start a fight just now? How did it suddenly turn into this scene?
From their previous exchanges, one could tell they knew each other, and even now, they could be 100% certain that the relationship between this officer and Lin Xi was complicated.
Otherwise, being held and not resisting?
Xu Hong stood not far away, caught in a dilemma!
He thought to himself, when are you going to be done?
If this isnât over, at least give an explanation, right?
His subordinates, lying on the ground, wanted to stand up but didnât dare, and could only continue enduring being crushed by the motorcycles.
Lin Xiâs three roommates didnât dare to disturb their leader; they only had one big word in their hearts: Respect!
Silence!
More silence!
The entire mountaintop atmosphere suddenly became bizarre.
"Let go of me, how long are you planning to hold me?" Half an hour had already passed by this time.
Hearing this, Lin Xi didnât hurry to let go but said, "I can let go, but letâs have a good talk."
"Fine!" Zhou Yan gritted her teeth and said.
"Promise you will talk," Lin Xi confirmed again.
Zhou Yan resisted the urge to nod, inwardly wanting to curse, thinking he assumed she wanted to start a fight when itâs because he kept causing trouble.
As soon as Lin Xi released his hand, Zhou Yan darted away, instinctively pulling out her gun from her belt, only to see Lin Xi smiling at her calmly, reminding her that he had removed all the bullets.
No bullets left, she no longer had the confidence to face Lin Xi.
After all, this scoundrelâs skill was enough to take down forty-odd men.
"I personally saw you hurt so many people; what more do you have to say? Come with me to the station." Since she couldnât forcibly take him back to the station, she replied based on the law.
"Hurt people?" Lin Xi glanced at Xu Hong, then continued, "Why donât you ask them if I really did that?"
Zhou Yan listened to Lin Xiâs argument, inwardly mocking his foolishness, "You injured them this badly; would they really help cover for you?"
"You, come over here." Zhou Yan pointed at Xu Hong and called out.
Although Xu Hong was the leader of the biker gang and quite audacious, he couldnât but feel a hint of inferiority when facing the police. He immediately approached and replied, "Officer, what do you need from me?"
"Iâm asking you, are your biker gang members hurt by this man?" Zhou Yan gestured to the biker gang members lying on the ground, still afraid to get up from under the motorcycles.
Upon hearing this, Xu Hong was puzzled. Isnât it obvious that Lin Xi beat them up; the officer had just witnessed it too?
He secretly glanced at Lin Xi, noticing Lin Xi was smiling at him, as if urging him to tell the truth.
No, that wasnât right.
These two had issues; if he told the truth, who knew how the officer would retaliate?
Thinking like this made sense; Lin Xi and the officer knew each other, and given their actions moments ago, they were undoubtedly close.
The officerâs question was definitely intentional, intended to make him keep quiet.
"No, no, no, officer, we just lack skill and fell on our own; it has nothing to do with Brother Lin," Xu Hong replied.
PS: Keep up the effort, thanks to the vitamins, and thereâs a role play thread created the day before yesterday; everyone can try it out.
