Chapter 76

These bandits who were trying to stop Xiao Sheng and Tong Tong had some martial arts skills and could be considered formidable! It was clear that the other party had a deep understanding of Xiao Sheng's abilities, and their plan from start to finish was seamless. If it were anyone else, they would have been left on this provincial road, at the very least with serious injuries!

Feng Dog's AK team had been closely monitoring the situation. The last time, they suspected Cheng Ran International's Ma Han Kong, who was busy negotiating with the Zhong Lei Group these past two days. He had the motive, but it wasn't enough to want to kill Xiao Sheng. As for the幕后黑手 who wanted to harm Chen Shuyuan, they certainly wouldn't choose to directly target Xiao Sheng; that would be like taking off your pants to fart, completely unnecessary! So, the only ones left were the Liu family, who had repeatedly clashed with Xiao Sheng. After thoroughly researching the history of the Liu family, it was clear that they had risen through the ranks of the gray underworld. The reason Chen Shuyuan's mother chose to cooperate with him was because of his complex network of relationships in Gangcheng. The facts proved that Huaxin's rapid development over the past few decades was largely due to Liu Jiming's efforts!

Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. When Tong Ling was in power, Liu Jiming didn't dare to act openly. After Chen Shuyuan's parents completely fell out, the disinterested Tong Ling basically stopped managing Huaxin's affairs over the next few years, focusing on raising her daughter. Once Chen Shuyuan took over, this emotionally driven female leader chose to retire and live abroad, which gave the Liu family the idea to usurp power! Everything seemed to be under their control, but then out of nowhere, Xiao Sheng interfered, undoubtedly touching the Liu family's bottom line!

However, from Liu Jiming's plan, Xiao Sheng could also see that the other party had some reservations. If the tough guy who was always with Liu Hanming had joined this plan, Xiao Sheng would have been in a much more difficult situation! After all, that guy was a seasoned fighter, and when he went crazy, it would be a fight to the death!

Fortunately, this incident was not too serious. For Xiao Sheng, such minor attempts to stop him were common in his past missions. While he wasn't used to them, he didn't find them particularly unusual. The main concern was that he had Tong Tong with him. Given her young age, if it were a real fight to the death, it would definitely leave an indelible trauma on her young mind! Xiao Sheng had tried to create a 'playful' atmosphere to temporarily make this pampered rich girl forget the shadow of what had just happened, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Turning around and walking a few steps, Xiao Sheng, with a casual smile, looked at Tong Tong, who was sitting on the ground, panting from the effort of whipping the bandit leader. His lips curled slightly, and he asked softly:

"How was it, little birthday girl? Did you get your fix?"

Tong Tong, slowly lifting her head, brushed her hair that was scattered by the wind. Her chubby little face showed a faint smile as she pouted and replied:

"I got my fix today, but I'm hooked. Big guy, how about you stand there every day and let me whip you a few times?"

Hearing Tong Tong's proposal, which made Xiao Sheng both laugh and cry, he reached out with his rough hand, picked her up, and gently patted her buttocks. He replied:

"Does your butt really not hurt anymore?" Hearing this, Tong Tong was momentarily speechless.

Just as Xiao Sheng was about to help the extremely precious Miss Tong head towards the provincial road, the shrill sound of police sirens tore through the open field. An accident of such magnitude on an important provincial road in Gangcheng couldn't go unnoticed, especially with a man's leg broken and a machete by his side. Experienced traffic police immediately judged that this wasn't a simple traffic accident and contacted the police.

It was the peak of the tourist season, and Gangcheng was a major tourist destination in northern Jiangsu. With strict law enforcement already in place, an 'odd' accident like this at such a critical time prompted the police on patrol to arrive at the scene first!

Xiao Sheng and Tong Tong, being the victims, naturally didn't avoid the 'care' of these justice-minded police officers. When a few police officers arrived at the riverbank and met Xiao Sheng and Tong Tong, they immediately provided protection for the 'victims'.

The doctors who rushed to the scene were bandaging Xiao Sheng's arm. Fortunately, Xiao Sheng's injuries were only superficial. The collision, thanks to the airbags, did not cause any substantial harm to Xiao Sheng and Tong Tong! Several bandits who had been knocked out by Xiao Sheng were fished out of the field by the diligent police. When experienced police officers saw that the bandits' hands were tied with shoelaces in a 'professional' manner, they couldn't help but be suspicious of Xiao Sheng, who was surrounded by the crowd. However, after a brief questioning, and learning that Xiao Sheng was the private bodyguard of the Huaxin CEO, the experienced police officer was relieved! Huaxin was a well-known company, and they could afford any kind of bodyguard.

Xiao Sheng and Tong Tong's identities were too sensitive, especially since Huaxin was a star company in Gangcheng. The cautious police officer reported the incident to the bureau leadership and immediately contacted Chen Shuyuan, who was anxiously waiting at home.

Two Roewe police cars parked directly at the accident site. To have such treatment, it was either a leader or a member of the criminal investigation team! This incident had already exceeded the jurisdiction of ordinary police, and given the sensitive nature of the two individuals involved, the leaders of the criminal investigation team arrived on the scene as soon as they received the alarm.

Wang Li, who got out of the second police car, adjusted her police uniform and, along with the head of the criminal investigation team, Hu Quan, went directly to inquire about the case. Zou Hai, who always accompanied her, had been practicing combat skills intensely since being disciplined by Xiao Sheng.

When Wang Li, pushing through the crowd, saw Xiao Sheng sitting on a stretcher being treated by medical personnel, her heart skipped a beat. Without waiting for her superior, Hu Quan, to make small talk, she rushed straight to Xiao Sheng.

Wang Li's sudden appearance clearly surprised Xiao Sheng. Seeing her still impressive 'assets,' his heart, which had already been agitated by the earlier fight, became even more excited!

"It's been a while, and your 'sisters' are still so impressive!"

"Why is it you again?" Facing Wang Li's blunt question, Xiao Sheng, suppressing his agitated heart, smiled bitterly and replied:

"To be honest, I really don't want it to be me again, but reality and hope are different."
