Chapter 78

The police arrived quickly, led by an old police officer in his fifties.

The old police officer looked at the scene and drew in a sharp breath. One person had taken down over a dozen thugs; this was some serious fighting power!

"Mr. Xiao, right? I'm Duan, and Captain Feng sent me here!"

The old police officer approached Xiao Chen and said politely.

"Um, hello." Xiao Chen shook hands with the old police officer: "I'll leave these people to you."

"No problem, Captain Feng has already briefed me!" The old police officer nodded readily.

"Also, this gun... it's theirs too."

Xiao Chen took out the Type 54 pistol and handed it to the old police officer.

The old police officer took it, and as soon as he touched it, he knew the gun was loaded and ready to fire, a real weapon that could take a life with a single pull of the trigger!

He was taken aback. The thugs were armed and still got taken down? The people Captain Feng knew were indeed not ordinary!

"Arrest them all and take them back!"

The old police officer, having made up his mind, shouted to his seven or eight subordinates.

"Yes, sir!"

The thugs were all handcuffed and loaded onto the police cars.

"Mr. Xiao, we'll be off now. If there's anything, you can contact Captain Feng."

The old police officer glanced at Su Qing standing by the Maserati and didn't dare to mention anything about them needing to cooperate with the police for a statement.

"Alright, thank you for your trouble."

The police left with sirens blaring, taking away two SUVs and a Buick minivan.

"Su Qing, let's go home."

Xiao Chen watched the police cars drive away, squinting his eyes, then turned and walked toward the Maserati.

"Do you know the police?"

Su Qing was curious because this was no small matter, with guns involved, they should at least have to go to the police station for a statement!

But now, the police only took the thugs away, asking no further questions, which was quite unusual!

"Yes, I have a friend at the city bureau. I drank with him last night... heh, didn't expect to need his help today." Xiao Chen smiled, started the car, and drove toward the city's No. 1 High School.

"Oh, why did those people target me? I don't even know the Old Black you mentioned, I've never even heard of him..."

"Heh, who knows! Maybe the person who sent you the threatening letter paid Old Black to act on his behalf... some gangsters like to do this kind of thing!"

"What should we do next?"

"Leave it to me, I'll handle it, don't worry."

"Do we need to file a report with the police?"

"No need, we'll wait and see. We'll deal with it when the time comes."

Xiao Chen shook his head. Although he said that, he didn't really think that way!

Wait?

Tonight, he would go and talk to Old Black to find out what was going on!

Su Qing had no experience with such matters, and her usual shrewdness was of no use here, so she could only rely on Xiao Chen as her mainstay!

"Ah, if my brother were back, it would be better... I hope it's just a simple threat, not related to that big secret..."

Su Qing looked out the car window, her expression somewhat dazed.

Xiao Chen glanced at Su Qing, thinking she was still shaken, so he didn't disturb her, sped up, and arrived at the city's No. 1 High School.

"Sister, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"

Su Xiaomeng, just getting into the car, noticed something was off and asked, holding her sister's hand.

"Heh, nothing, maybe I'm just tired."

Su Qing forced a smile and shook her head.

"Oh, then take a few days off? Why push yourself so hard!"

Su Xiaomeng said with concern.

"Recently, there's a lot going on at the company, no time to rest, we'll see after this."

"Alright, I can't help much."

"Silly girl, as long as you're happy and well, that's helping me."

Su Qing stroked her little sister's hair affectionately.

Back at the villa, Xiao Chen took the initiative to go into the kitchen to cook, letting Su Qing rest in her room.

"Brother Chen, what happened?"

Su Xiaomeng came to the kitchen and asked Xiao Chen.

"Nothing much..."

"Are you treating me like a kid? Don't lie to me..."

"Um, I'm not lying, your sister already told you, she's just tired..."

"Hmph, don't give me that, my sister always treats me like a kid... I just play along, do you really think I'm a kid?" Su Xiaomeng said irritably.

"..."

Xiao Chen, helpless, hesitated for a moment, then simply told Su Xiaomeng what happened.

"What? Kidnap my sister? Damn bastards!"

Su Xiaomeng, upon hearing this, widened her eyes and shouted angrily.

"Lower your voice... do you want your sister to hear? If she finds out I told you, she'll blame me again!"

"What about those bastards?"

"I called a friend at the police station, and they've all been arrested."

"Hmph, they got off easy!"

"Heh, not really, armed kidnapping, they'll be in for at least a few years."

"Old Black from the Falcon Gang is the head of the Black Eagle Hall... on par with Huang Xing of the Falcon Hall, a big shot in the underworld... what do we do if he's after my sister?"

After her anger subsided, Su Xiaomeng started to worry. Despite her reputation at school, she was still just a student, and the Falcon Gang was a behemoth in her eyes!

"Big shot? Heh, Xiaomeng, don't worry, leave it to me!"

"You?" Su Xiaomeng looked at Xiao Chen with a doubtful gaze.

"Of course, you forgot how polite Bald Snake was to me? His boss, Huang Xing, is also very polite to me..."

"Really?"

If it were any other time, Su Xiaomeng would have scoffed, "Why don't you say you're the godfather?" But now, with her sister's safety at stake, she was worried.

"Of course, after dinner, I'll go see a friend and handle this... don't worry."

"Oh."

"Heh, come on, give me a smile, don't look so gloomy, your sister will ask if she sees you like this."

"Brother Chen, I don't want anything to happen to my sister..."

"Of course, with me here, nothing will happen! I promised your brother to protect you both! Oh, and I promised you too, you should trust me."

Su Xiaomeng looked at Xiao Chen, pursed her lips, and forced a smile: "I trust you."

"Heh, go watch TV, I'll cook."

"Can I help?"

"Heh, no need, go watch your K-dramas." Xiao Chen said with a smile.

Su Xiaomeng nodded and left the kitchen.

Xiao Chen watched Su Xiaomeng's back, his smile fading. Despite her rebellious personality, she had a lot on her mind...

Half an hour later, Su Qing came downstairs, looking much better.

"Let's eat."

"Sure, thanks, Xiao Chen."

Su Qing looked at Xiao Chen with gratitude. He was there to protect them, but now he was also acting as a bodyguard and a nanny.

"Heh, no problem, I'm like a brother to your brother, and you're family to me."

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

The three sat down to dinner.

In front of Su Qing, Su Xiaomeng showed no signs of anything unusual, talking about school as usual, trying to cheer her sister up.

Beside them, Xiao Chen felt a sense of relief and warmth, seeing how both Su Qing and Su Xiaomeng loved each other in their own ways...

After dinner, Xiao Chen said goodbye and drove away from the villa.

An hour later, he arrived at a resort in the southern part of the city.

This was where he learned from the gang leader that Old Black had been staying to entertain important guests, rarely leaving!

So, he came to check. If Old Black was here, that would be best. If not, he would call Huang Xing and make a deal!

Entering the resort, Xiao Chen followed the directions given by the gang leader and drove in, soon seeing a row of villas.

"Number 77..."

A few minutes later, Xiao Chen found Villa 77, which was said to be where Old Black kept his mistress, but recently used to entertain guests.

Who these guests were, Xiao Chen didn't know, and he didn't want to know!

He came here to give Old Black two choices: live or die!

Xiao Chen didn't drive up close but parked in a nearby parking lot, then got out, lit a cigarette, and walked toward Villa 77.

In front of Villa 77, four or five young men were chatting casually.

However, whenever someone passed by, they would glance over, their eyes filled with caution.

Xiao Chen smiled, seeing this. Old Black must be inside; otherwise, these thugs wouldn't be guarding the place!

He didn't go to the front door but turned and walked to the back of the villa!

Killing should be done discreetly!

As the head of the Black Eagle Hall in the Falcon Gang, Old Black had a status on par with Huang Xing, so Xiao Chen didn't doubt that these thugs were armed...

Xiao Chen arrived at the back of the villa, looked around, and, finding no one, leaped up, grabbed the wall, and flipped over silently.

Inside the villa, he could hear faint laughter and screams, making him frown. What was going on in there?

Xiao Chen glanced outside, seeing five or six thugs in the yard, occasionally peering into the villa, as if something exciting was happening!

Xiao Chen approached the back window silently and listened.

"Ah... uh, no..."

In the living room, four men sat on the sofa, their eyes filled with excitement.

On the carpet, two girls, around eleven or twelve years old, were tied up, struggling and trembling...

Beside them, a gaunt young man held a scalpel, tearing off one girl's shirt: "Don't hide... I've already numbed you, it won't hurt... hehe..."

As he spoke, he cut into the girl's chest, blood splattering...

"Ah..."

The girl screamed, but her limbs were bound, and she couldn't escape...

Seeing the girl's suffering, the young man became even more excited, licking the blood from the scalpel, savoring it.

"Hey, Skeleton is getting more and more perverted."

On the sofa, a middle-aged man grinned.

"Skeleton, take your time, I've already arranged for two more young ones to be delivered tomorrow morning..."

Beside him, a dark-faced man played with a long string of prayer beads, smiling.
