Chapter 81

Xu Yun heard everything clearly.

Ma Pinghai called the man "Sir Kai" with such affection, more than he would for his own father. The main content of the call was that he had found the people in the photo, both the woman and the child. He also promised to hold the scene and wait for the man to arrive.

The distance from Beijia District to the city center was not far, and it would not take much time for an expert to get there.

Xu Yun was somewhat worried. If it were just him, he wouldn't mind; he would eventually face Red Scorpion, and it might as well be today. However, today he had too many concerns. Guoguo and Ruan Qingshuang, even Qin Wan'er, were completely helpless in front of a top expert.

Chou Yan, whose body had not fully recovered, could barely protect herself, let alone protect three people.

Although Xu Yun had never fought Red Scorpion, based on what he knew, Red Scorpion was definitely a top expert at the peak of his game. It was unknown whether he had broken through to a higher level. If Red Scorpion had already reached the realm of a super expert, Xu Yun would have no chance of winning.

Xu Yun knew very well that everyone must leave now. Given Red Scorpion's style, he wouldn't care about hurting innocents. If a fight broke out here, Xu Yun was worried about causing too many innocent deaths.

Damn Ma Pinghai!

Xu Yun returned, and even though the situation was urgent, he still kept a calm face. "Have you finished eating?"

"Just a little more," Guoguo said, licking her lips.

Xu Yun smiled slightly and let Guoguo continue eating. It wasn't too late to leave after she was full.

Ma Pinghai also returned after hanging up the phone. His expression was clearly more excited than before, with a restrained excitement hidden beneath.

"Hehe, Secretary Ma, is there something that's making you happy?" Xu Yun smiled slightly, having made up his mind. This person needed to be dealt with by Qin Wan'er first to avoid future trouble. "Why don't you share it with everyone?"

Ma Pinghai was slightly stunned and forced a smile. "Hehe, being able to have a meal with Brother Xu and Sister Shuang is certainly a happy thing."

Xu Yun hummed and continued, "Then why did you secretly talk to someone on the phone, saying you saw the woman and child in the photo?"

A cold and murderous aura suddenly appeared on Chou Yan's face. Her sixth sense had told her from the beginning that something was off about this person, and it turned out to be true. As soon as she heard about the woman and child in the photo, Chou Yan understood what was going on.

Ma Pinghai's face changed drastically. He didn't expect his call in the restroom to be overheard!

Xu Yun sneered. "Secretary Ma, aren't you going to explain yourself?"

Everyone was confused and didn't understand what Xu Yun was talking about with Ma Pinghai. Guoguo suddenly felt Chou Yan's murderous aura and quickly pushed the plate forward, saying to Ruan Qingshuang, "Mom, I'm full."

Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and Chou Yan's soft sword, Longyuan, slashed down, splitting the large table in half. It collapsed with a loud bang, and all the dishes and utensils fell to the ground. The sword's energy even tore a crack in the floor.

Ruan Qingshuang and Qin Wan'er didn't understand why Chou Yan suddenly lost control and quickly carried Guoguo to stand behind Xu Yun. Ruan Qingshuang was extremely nervous, thinking it was a gang fight from a movie. Qin Wan'er vaguely realized that Chou Yan's reaction was related to Xu Yun's questioning of Ma Pinghai.

Wu Lei was stunned, almost collapsing to the ground. He finally understood why even Jin Biao had to make concessions. This woman was not human; he couldn't even break such a large table with an axe, let alone with a soft sword, which was like a fairy tale.

Jin Biao had long known that Chou Yan was not an ordinary person, so he wasn't as shocked as Wu Lei, but he didn't understand why a peaceful meal had turned into this. This was not a good sign... What had Ma Pinghai done?

Chou Yan's murderous aura was unhidden, all directed at Ma Pinghai.

Ma Pinghai, exposed, was almost scared to death by Chou Yan's move, but after his panic, he quickly thought of his backing. "Hmph, I want to see how arrogant you'll be when Sir Kai arrives! I have backing in the underworld!"

"Sir Kai?" Xu Yun was slightly stunned. "Hehe, you mean the nationally wanted S-level criminal Hao Kai? No wonder the police couldn't find him; you were hiding him. Hehe, Qin Wan'er, you now have a lead. The crime of harboring a fugitive is not small, either."

Qin Wan'er had initially thought it was none of her business and didn't want to get involved, but Xu Yun's words immediately caught her attention.

"Hmph! Do you know who Hao Kai is? Do you think you can catch him with your skills?" Ma Pinghai became defiant, having seen the strength of underworld figures, which gave him confidence.

Xu Yun sneered and walked to Ma Pinghai's ear, whispering, "I know the famous Red Scorpion of the underworld. Do you know who I am?"

Ma Pinghai shivered. Was this guy also from the underworld?

Qin Wan'er spat. "If I don't catch you today, I'll change my name!"

"Anyone who threatens Guoguo must die!" A cold light appeared in Chou Yan's eyes. Without waiting for Qin Wan'er to react, she lunged forward, the soft sword Longyuan flashing like autumn water, directly aiming for Ma Pinghai's heart!

Ma Pinghai never expected them to dare kill someone in front of the police. His face turned ashen! Jin Biao and Wu Lei were completely stunned. They had seen many things over the years, but this was the first time they had seen such a scene!

Ruan Qingshuang, panicking, quickly covered Guoguo's eyes, while Qin Wan'er could only shout, "No!"

Qin Wan'er was a police officer. Even if the person was harboring a nationally wanted criminal, she couldn't stand by and watch him be killed. Hesitating, she drew her service pistol! If Chou Yan dared to kill someone on the spot, she would not hesitate!

However, Xu Yun kicked Chou Yan's soft sword away just as it was about to pierce Ma Pinghai's heart. Xu Yun then pulled Ma Pinghai behind him, and the terrified Ma Pinghai stood there like a puppet.

"Don't stop me!" Chou Yan shouted at Xu Yun, her sword still raised.

Xu Yun frowned. He knew that Chou Yan would not tolerate anyone who threatened her and Guoguo's lives and wanted to eliminate them to prevent future trouble.

If Qin Wan'er weren't present, he might not have stopped Chou Yan from dealing with a scumbag, as Xu Yun was not a saint. But today was different; Qin Wan'er had already drawn her gun!

Xu Yun understood Qin Wan'er's character. She would never allow vigilante justice. If Chou Yan killed Ma Pinghai today, the matter would not end. There would be two outcomes: either Chou Yan would be arrested by Qin Wan'er, or Qin Wan'er would be killed by Chou Yan. Neither would back down.

Ma Pinghai's fate could not be left to Chou Yan today. Xu Yun's mind was still very clear.

"Chou Yan, your opponent is not this person." Xu Yun's face was no longer playful or carefree; his stern expression made Chou Yan feel a sense of seriousness.

But Chou Yan was not satisfied. Ma Pinghai had exposed her and Guoguo's identities, and they could be attacked by Red Scorpion at any time! If she didn't kill Ma Pinghai, she couldn't quell her anger.

"Chou Yan, we will handle this person through the police! Put away your weapon!" Qin Wan'er was also very nervous. In her mind, Chou Yan was a dangerous person.

Seeing Qin Wan'er's gun, Chou Yan sneered. "My business doesn't need your interference!"

"You!" Qin Wan'er bit her lip, truly infuriated!

"Chou Yan, you can distrust the police, but at least trust me. Trust what I say. This person will be handled by Qin Wan'er, and she will not let him go unpunished." Xu Yun was the only one who remained calm. "Ma Pinghai has already told Red Scorpion about us being here. This is not the place to solve our problems. I hope you can consider the bigger picture."

Guoguo didn't understand the adult world, but she knew that everything Chou Yan did was for her, and everything Xu Yun did was for everyone. "Sister Chou Yan, let's listen to Dad, okay?"

Chou Yan finally retracted her murderous aura after Guoguo spoke.

"Let's go now." Xu Yun made the decision immediately.

Qin Wan'er suddenly refused. She glared at Xu Yun and asked, "Do you mean that person will be here soon?"

"Qin Wan'er, I'll only say this once. That person is not as simple as you think." Xu Yun knew Qin Wan'er's thoughts; she wanted to wait and arrest the wanted criminal.

But her idea was too naive. Even a hundred of her couldn't threaten Red Scorpion.

"I'll immediately dispatch personnel. This is an opportunity, and I won't let it slip!" Qin Wan'er was determined, and once she made up her mind, nothing could change it.

Xu Yun had to make a decision on the spot. He suddenly appeared in front of Qin Wan'er, and before she could react, he struck her neck with a hand knife. Qin Wan'er's eyes went black, and she mumbled a few words before fainting. "Bastard Xu Yun..."

Persuading a fair and just, big-hearted, and inexperienced female police officer was much harder than persuading a cold and ruthless killer like Chou Yan. Xu Yun knew this, so he didn't hesitate to knock Qin Wan'er out.

Xu Yun directly carried Qin Wan'er on his shoulder and pointed at Ma Pinghai. "Take him."

Chou Yan kicked Ma Pinghai unconscious without hesitation and dragged him like a dead dog.

Ruan Qingshuang, though confused, knew they had to leave. She carried Guoguo and quickly stepped out of the room. Chou Yan followed closely behind.

Before leaving, Xu Yun turned to the stunned Jin Biao and Wu Lei. "Do you know who we are? You have two choices: one is to follow Sister Shuang, and the other is to be like Ma Pinghai."

Jin Biao and Wu Lei nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice. Xu Yun and Chou Yan's overwhelming combat strength was something they had never heard of, and they had no ability to resist, so they had no choice but to comply.

"Also, if you don't want to die, leave as soon as possible." Xu Yun then carried Qin Wan'er and quickly left the Hede International Hotel.
