Hearing Ferren jump back onto the road, the two policewomen, who were supporting the young girl, came up in shock.
“SIR, are you okay?”
“Big Brother Fei, are you alright?”
Ferren waved his hand and said, “What could happen to me?” Then, with a stern face, he said to the young girl, “Can you, little girl, be a bit more well-behaved? Not cause trouble for us SIRs?”
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over her, making the young girl feel thoroughly chilled. She pouted her lips and began to sob.
Ferren had no sympathy at all and said to the policewoman, “Colleague, you saw that the little girl almost lost her life trying to escape from the crime just now. What do you think now?”
If the policewoman still couldn’t see that there was something wrong with the young girl, her IQ would really be a problem. “SIR, what do you suggest?”
Ferren clearly had a plan in mind: “I suggest we take her to the police station in this district, check her identity, and then notify the BMW owner, Liu Weiming, to come and pick her up.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the young girl cried out, “Don’t notify my brother! If my brother knows, my mom will know too, and then...”
“Then you’ll get a spanking, right?” Ferren teased.
“No, no...” The young girl waved her hands, “Big Brother Fei, my mom is very protective. If she knows I was in danger, she will definitely complain about you!”
Ferren narrowed his eyes and said, “Thank you for your concern, but we police officers follow the rules. Your mom has the right to complain, and the regulatory department has its own standards for handling such matters!” He then gave the policewoman a look.
The policewoman immediately said to the young girl, “Miss, do you want to state your identity now, or come with me to the police station?”
The young girl’s face was full of indignation. She glared at Ferren and angrily replied, “My name is Liu Rongxiu, I’m sixteen years old, the BMW belongs to my brother, and I was driving it for fun. I did speed, are you satisfied now?”
The policewoman, upon hearing this, realized she had wronged Ferren and quickly wrote down everything Liu Rongxiu said. However, she didn’t want to get involved in Liu Rongxiu’s resentment towards Ferren.
“Why are you glaring at me?” Ferren sneered at Liu Rongxiu, “You clearly did speed and damage public property, why can’t you admit it?”
Liu Rongxiu was taken aback and then cautiously asked, “Big Brother Fei, since I’ve admitted it, can we be friends?”
Ferren faintly heard the sound of sirens, knowing that backup was near, so he had no mood to deal with Liu Rongxi. He shook his head and said, “No, at least not today. I lost thousands of brain cells saving you just now, I need to go rest!”
Liu Rongxiu was stunned, knowing that this was just Ferren’s way of brushing her off, but she couldn’t do anything about it, so she could only stand there, fuming.
Ferren didn’t bother with her, got into the Ferrari, and was about to leave. The policewoman quickly came over and said, “SIR, although you were speeding to chase someone, since you were off-duty, I still have to write this in my report.”
Ferren was somewhat irritated and said, “Didn’t you already say that? Are you trying to be annoying?” He tried to start the car again.
But the policewoman held the car door and said, “Also, SIR, I will write about your heroic rescue in the report.”
“This... isn’t necessary, right?” Ferren’s face turned from a normal expression to a bitter one, “Nothing happened, right? If you write a report, I’ll have to write one too, which is just creating unnecessary work. Isn’t that tiring?”
The policewoman pointed to the damaged guardrail and said, “SIR, if I don’t write about your rescue, how can I explain the guardrail being loose?”
Ferren was taken aback and said, “As long as the little girl doesn’t say anything, you can just write that it fell for unknown reasons... No, that’s not good. We need to find another reason. What reason?”
Liu Rongxiu, hearing Ferren still calling her “little girl,” was extremely indignant, but with her legs still weak and unable to move, she couldn’t do anything to attract Ferren’s attention. She could only squat down and bury her head between her knees, sobbing.
“SIR, I won’t write a report that goes against the facts,” the policewoman said, then went to comfort Liu Rongxiu.
Ferren was speechless. Hearing the sirens getting closer, he didn’t want to go back to the police station, so he said, “Do what you want, I’m leaving first!” He didn’t even look at Liu Rongxiu, whose face was streaked with tears, and drove off in a flash.
In Central, at the Juran Bar.
“Sister Man, didn’t you say Big Brother Fei would come?” Liang Xiaolin pouted, “It’s so late, where is he? Just tell me his home address!”
“No way!” Zeng Man shook her head, “I can’t gossip about such things without his permission.”
“Sister Man, it’s fine!” Liang Xiaolin hugged Zeng Man’s arm and coaxed, “Big Brother Fei and I are very, very good friends.”
Zeng Man wasn’t fooled and said coolly, “If you and Ferren are such good friends, go ask him yourself.”
At that moment, someone on stage started singing a song. After two lines, the other patrons began to heckle, with some even shouting, “Get off, get off, get off! This isn’t a karaoke contest, why are you howling? Get the song king up there!”
Many others chimed in, “Yeah, get the song king, get the song king!”
Someone even yelled, “Is the song king here tonight?”
Liang Xiaolin, being a young girl, was easily distracted. Seeing the commotion, she stopped pestering Zeng Man for Ferren’s address and asked curiously, “Sister Man, what are they arguing about? Who is the song king?”
Zeng Man feigned indifference and said, “It’s just Ferren! He participated in a singing contest here last night and barely won first place, so I brought you here to wait for him!”
“Oh?!” Liang Xiaolin’s eyes lit up, “What song did Big Brother Fei sing? Was it a good imitation?”
Zeng Man was momentarily speechless, “He...”
Just then, a patron holding a tape-sized MP3 player called out, “No song king, but I have the song king’s song!”
“Quick, play it!”
“Yeah, play it... Oh, can it connect to the speakers?”
“After the song, copy it for me too!”
The crowd started heckling again.
“Don’t worry, my Jukebox function is good, it can record, play, and connect to external speakers!” The patron then went to discuss the playback with Juran.
In a short while, the overture of "Opera 2" came from the speakers, and the noise in the bar instantly disappeared.
The somewhat monotonous accordion music made Liang Xiaolin frown, “Sister Man, what is this? It’s so strange! But the accordion playing is quite professional.”
Zeng Man looked at Liang Xiaolin in surprise and sneered, “You know about professionalism?”
“Why not? I play the piano, and I got my intermediate performance diploma from the Royal Academy of Music this August!” Liang Xiaolin said proudly.
“The Royal Academy of Entertainment?!”
Liang Xiaolin rolled her eyes, “What Royal Academy of Entertainment? I mean the Royal Academy of Music in the UK!”
As they were talking, Ferren’s voice came through.
“Huh? Isn’t that Big Brother Fei’s voice? Why is it in Russian?” Liang Xiaolin, being a professional, immediately recognized Ferren’s voice, “Sister Man, could Big Brother Fei be the song king these yuppies are talking about?”
Zeng Man glanced at her and said, “Just listen and you’ll know.”
The same plain Russian lyrics made every patron’s face light up, but Liang Xiaolin kept frowning, “Too plain, not impressive at all!”
Zeng Man repeated, “Just listen and you’ll know.”
As she spoke, a high-pitched scream came, “Oh ah ah ah~~ ah~~~~~~~,” the piercing high note almost burst Liang Xiaolin’s eardrums.
“This, this...”
Liang Xiaolin was speechless, but Zeng Man was triumphant, “What do you think? Still plain?”
Liang Xiaolin shook her head in a daze and suddenly stood up, “Damn, I didn’t expect Big Brother Fei to have this skill! Sister Man, I want to find Big Brother Fei, please tell me his address, I beg you, please, please!”
Zeng Man still shook her head, “Without his permission, no way! Didn’t you see I’m waiting for him too?”
“You can’t, of course, you’re an adult. Big Brother Fei might take you in once, but if it happens too often, it would be like living together!” Liang Xiaolin goaded, “But I’m different. I’m still a minor, and Big Brother Fei is a police officer. If I say I’m homeless, he can’t refuse to take me in.”
Zeng Man’s eyebrows arched, “Don’t try to manipulate me, it won’t work. I won’t take you there.”
“See, you’re showing your true colors!” Liang Xiaolin immediately seized on Zeng Man’s slip, “You won’t take me? Do you plan to go alone?”
Hearing Liang Xiaolin’s words and meeting her ambiguous gaze, Zeng Man finally gave in, “OK, OK, if you want to go, I’ll take you, but his place is far, and the taxi fare...”
Liang Xiaolin patted her chest, “I’ll cover the fare...” She noticed Zeng Man’s pleased expression and quickly changed her tone, “Half!”
Zeng Man, somewhat greedy, her face fell, and she pouted, “Half it is!” She then grabbed her bag and left. Liang Xiaolin covered her mouth and giggled, quickly following.
Once in the taxi, Liang Xiaolin asked, “Where to?”
Zeng Man instructed the driver, “86 Shallow Water Bay, thank you!”
Liang Xiaolin was shocked. The driver looked at Zeng Man as if she were crazy. He had seen 86 Shallow Water Bay before; it was a super luxury mansion. Could someone who could afford such a house take a taxi?
Zeng Man ignored the driver’s look and repeated, “Shallow Water Bay, 86!”
Seeing Zeng Man’s cold gaze, the driver didn’t dare to say more and quickly drove off.
Unfortunately, when they arrived at 86, Zeng Man called the door, but Xingzi, as if not recognizing her, only replied, “Madam, I’m sorry, we have no guest reservations at this time.” After saying this, Xingzi’s face disappeared from the intercom screen, and the screen went black.
Zeng Man, wanting to ask more, was extremely frustrated. Liang Xiaolin had to cautiously ask, “Sister Man, did you get it wrong? Does Big Brother Fei really live here?”
