Chapter 8

Seeing Chen Jie getting ready to leave, Wang Siyu pouted and said, "A country bumpkin is still a country bumpkin! Let's go! We really had a good fight today!"

Chen Jie smiled indifferently.

Looking at the little thug who was still howling with a transparent hole in his hand, Chen Jie sighed, "If I had hit his body, things would have gotten complicated."

Just then, the sound of sirens wailed from a distance and grew louder.

"Damn! The police are here!" Wang Siyu frowned, "Hide! Don't let them catch us! It would be too much trouble otherwise."

"What about here?" Manluo looked hesitantly at the groaning thugs on the ground.

"Let that country bumpkin deal with it here! We need to get out of here quickly! The Justice Girls' team disappears without a trace after a fight!"

The two of them immediately dove into the bushes.

A police car with its siren blaring screeched to a halt almost brushing against Chen Jie. Three police officers, two men and one woman, jumped out of the car.

Seeing the scene, the three police officers raised their guns simultaneously and ordered the only one still standing, Chen Jie, "Hands up!"

Chen Jie frowned but chose to comply.

"What happened to these people? Did you do this?" A middle-aged police officer looked at the seemingly not very strong Chen Jie with suspicion.

"Captain Zhang, these guys are all... this... what kind of injury is this? Xiao Wen, call an ambulance quickly!"

The young police officer checked the thugs and, upon seeing the one with a hole in his hand, exclaimed in shock.

Xiao Wen, the young female police officer, called for an ambulance while examining the wound. She then stood up abruptly, "Captain Zhang! This looks like a gunshot wound!"

"Gunshot wound?"

The middle-aged police officer, Captain Zhang, looked at the wound with suspicion and immediately pointed his gun at Chen Jie, "Where's the gun! Come out now or we have the right to shoot you on the spot!"

The other two young officers also raised their guns at Chen Jie.

"I was just passing by, I have nothing to do with this," Chen Jie said calmly.

"Nonsense! This is clearly a gunshot wound! You, put your hands on your head and get down!"

Get down?

Chen Jie hesitated for a moment but followed the order.

Although dealing with these people would be effortless for Chen Jie, he didn't come back to his country to do this kind of thing.

"Xiao Wen! Cuff him!"

The young female police officer, with the two male officers covering her with their guns, took out handcuffs and cuffed Chen Jie from behind.

"Put him in the car! We need to interrogate him thoroughly tonight!"

"Officer, I told you, I was just passing by, and I have nothing to do with this," Chen Jie struggled as he was pushed into the car by the two young officers.

"Whether you're involved or not isn't up to you! We'll sort it out at the station! You two, take him back to the station and lock him up! I'll interrogate him personally when I get back."

The two officers complied. The male officer drove the car, while the female officer sat in the back with Chen Jie, her gun pointed at him, her eyes filled with uncontrollable tension.

The female officer was clearly a new graduate, and her well-fitting police uniform made her look very impressive. Her eyes were wide open, staring at Chen Jie, and her hand holding the gun was trembling, clearly thinking Chen Jie was a dangerous criminal with a gun.

"Why are your hands shaking? Don't let it go off!" Chen Jie looked at the young female officer's trembling hand and said with a smile.

"Shut up!"

The police car sped towards the police station.

The two girls in the bushes by the roadside frowned at the scene.

"Don't worry, I'll call my uncle and get this country bumpkin out. At worst, we'll be witnesses!" Wang Siyu looked at the departing police car with a hint of guilt.
