*****************************

The air seemed to have frozen, and Yang Feng was still lying on the ground, pretending to be dead. He was genuinely terrified by the black-clothed man's claws. When Li Xiangdong punched the guy, tearing his upper clothing, Yang Feng had sneaked a peek.

After that glance, he felt his scalp tingle, and only one thought filled his mind: that guy isn't human!

On the other side, An Jianing, Hu Ying, and Wang Luoshi, the three girls, were also somewhat speechless.

The lighting here was poor, and they couldn't see the black-clothed man's face clearly. However, when Li Xiangdong engaged him, the martial arts-like movements made them all feel that the black-clothed man was not someone to be trifled with; he was a formidable opponent.

During their four years at the police academy, they had all received training in grappling and combat techniques. Because they were female students, their instructor was a female special police officer, a true "Blossom of the Female Special Police."

However, the combat techniques taught to them were just for show. The instructor knew that, after graduation, few of them would be on the front lines, so they were only taught some basic moves and anti-rape techniques. During exams, they would just go through the motions.

Although they learned some basic techniques, it didn't mean they didn't know what real combat techniques looked like.

When Li Xiangdong and the black-clothed man exchanged blows, they knew it was real combat, the kind that could end a fight in one move.

Such combat looked quick and the movements were not exaggerated, but often a single strike could be fatal, making it extremely dangerous. They didn't dare to make a sound, fearing that they might distract Li Xiangdong and cause him to lose focus.

Now, Li Xiangdong and the black-clothed man were facing off, and the air seemed to have frozen. No one dared to speak.

Li Xiangdong looked at the black-clothed man hidden in the darkness. Although he was trying his best to remain calm, his rapid breathing and the slight twitching of his facial muscles couldn't escape Li Xiangdong's keen senses, his wolf-like ears, and eagle-like eyes.

The black-clothed man's breathing was already erratic, and the continuous twitching of his muscles indicated that he was enduring intense pain in his ankle. That single blow had already reduced his combat effectiveness by half.

However, his strange claws were a threat. Li Xiangdong didn't know what kind of bizarre skills this guy had, but those claws looked terrifying.

Who knew if those claws were poisonous? Li Xiangdong didn't want to get hit. Although the black-clothed man was severely injured, he still had the strength to counterattack.

Li Xiangdong didn't dare to press too hard, fearing that the black-clothed man might resort to a desperate move.

Just as the atmosphere became increasingly tense, the sound of police sirens suddenly came from the distance. In the dark night sky, the blue and red lights of the police cars could be seen.

An Jianing and Hu Ying, standing at a distance, showed signs of relief. Wang Luoshi also let out a sigh of relief, lowering her hands that had been tightly clasped to her chest.

The black-clothed man's expression remained unchanged, but he also looked up at the approaching police cars. Just as Li Xiangdong was about to launch a strong attack, the black-clothed man suddenly threw a black object.

The object hit the ground and a cloud of black smoke rose. Not knowing the danger, Li Xiangdong had to cover his nose and retreat. By the time the smoke cleared, the black-clothed man was long gone.

This guy had such skills; it looked a bit like Japanese ninjutsu!

Li Xiangdong looked in the direction the black-clothed man had disappeared, pondering to himself.

The police cars approached the scene, and the Volvo sedan followed. Li Xiangdong and Wang Luoshi were now in front of the Santana sedan. The driver of the Santana had run away, but the little girl was sleeping soundly in the back seat.

Li Xiangdong quickly picked up the child from the car, and the black-silk-clad woman ran over, crying and stumbling.

"Rongrong, my child..."

She reached Li Xiangdong and snatched the child from his arms. Li Xiangdong didn't mind.

Looking over, he saw the girls chatting with the police, and on the other side, Yang Feng was pretending to have just woken up from a daze, being helped to his feet by a police officer.

The girls had just finished their story when a stern-faced police officer and a man with a large pompadour and a big belly approached.

"Are you Li Xiangdong?"

The police officer stood in front of Li Xiangdong, his eyes scanning him up and down. If it were anyone else, they would have felt very uncomfortable under such scrutiny.

However, years of hardship had made Li Xiangdong indifferent to such treatment. No matter how the other person looked at him or treated him, he didn't care.

"Good, indeed, the student surpasses the teacher. The principal's last disciple is truly exceptional. Ha ha ha, hello, I'm Wei Zhengming, the captain of the Second Team of the City Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division, your senior. Ha ha, when will you graduate, and what are your plans after graduation? Why don't you come directly to our Second Team? With your skills, the other seniors will definitely welcome you with open arms!"

The stern-faced police officer stared at Li Xiangdong for half a minute, and when he was satisfied with Li Xiangdong's reaction, he broke into a smile, patted his shoulder, and said affectionately.

It turned out he was a senior from the same school, and it seemed he had deep feelings for the police academy and the principal. Li Xiangdong felt a sense of joy and a smile appeared on his face.

"Hey! You two are close, you can contact each other anytime. I don't have that convenience, Wei, let me talk to this young brother for a moment."

The man with the large pompadour and big belly pushed past Captain Wei, grabbed Li Xiangdong's hand, and shook it vigorously.

"Brother Li, I really owe you one today. If it weren't for you, my wife and child would have been in grave danger. No matter what I say, I can't express my gratitude..."

The man's face was red, his words incoherent, and his expression very emotional. Li Xiangdong glanced at the black-silk-clad woman and her daughter not far away and could only sigh, wondering why good cabbages always get trampled by the wrong people.
