Chapter 82: Chapter 82: I Want to Hit Someone (Requesting Recommendation Votes)
Wang Xian is the one who knew the least about the situation.
She heard this police officer named Ren Hao just now say that everything was his doing, including rescuing her from the kidnapping.
But Wang Xian knew very well that it was not him who saved her.
Also, she had a good impression of Zhou Yan, maybe attractive people are always welcomed, whether among the opposite or the same sex.
Now she was curious about Lin Xi, who not only rescued her but almost slapped the head of the police.
The crucial thing was, the person who saved her did not seem like a police officer.
"Too reckless!" Wang Xian couldn’t help but think, though she felt a bit worried inside.
Because no matter what, civilians should not fight with authorities; doing so would lead to trouble.
Moreover, no matter how you put it, this police officer named Ren Hao had several subordinates present, treating him like this invites trouble.
The only one who seemed pleased was Zhou Yan, who would’ve beaten Ren Hao up if it weren’t for her fellow police identity.
Lin Xi slapping Ren Hao without hesitation was unexpected for her, and even more unexpected for everyone else.
As for worrying about Lin Xi, she had none of that; she knew how formidable Lin Xi was, and she even hoped the two would fight.
After all, looking at those kidnappers being dragged out, one could guess the outcome.
Of course, Ren Hao and his people didn’t know that; otherwise, they wouldn’t brazenly tell Lin Xi to get lost, truly courting disaster.
At this point, the bewildered Ren Hao was quickly regaining his clarity, and Zhou Yan did not intend to remind them; she thought he deserved a beating.
"How brainless are you?" Lin Xi asked Ren Hao again, saying important things should be repeated more than twice.
"You’re looking for death!" Ren Hao, fully awake, flew into a rage, ignoring the burning pain on his face, pulling out a gun and pointing it at Lin Xi, "Say that again if you dare?"
This stunned the other police officers inside the factory.
They initially wanted to help their captain teach this brat a lesson, but once a gun was involved, they all froze with fear.
Despite their recent fierce gunfight with the kidnappers, pointing a gun at a civilian was a significant ideological mistake, one that would be recorded as a major offense.
Furthermore, they were somewhat repulsed by Ren Hao’s actions today, even feeling a bit disgusted.
Wang Xian grew more worried, wanting to say something but realizing she was powerless, unable to help.
Zhou Yan, however, was quite interested, moving slightly to the side, looking ready to watch a good show.
Ren Hao happened to notice this and was worried Zhou Yan might intervene, but didn’t expect this kind of reaction.
No matter what, in Ren Hao’s mind, Zhou Yan was already his girlfriend.
So at this moment, he had to be strong, could not lose face!
If Zhou Yan knew what he was thinking now, she would have been speechless, face, something you lost long ago! "I don’t want to say it anymore!" Lin Xi shook his head.
Is he planning to back down? That’s what everyone thought.
But Lin Xi’s next words surprised them, "I feel like hitting someone!"
Ren Hao couldn’t help but sneer, wondering if Lin Xi realized the current situation when he suddenly felt his gun-holding wrist caught.
His instinctive response was to pull the trigger.
"Ka-cha!"
A burst of pain shot up his wrist, the gun clanking to the ground.
His arm stayed still, but his palm was twisted 360 degrees, now facing himself.
"Next time you point a gun at me, it won’t just be your hand that gets ruined!" Lin Xi said coldly.
Ren Hao was tough, sweat pouring down his forehead, but he refused to cry out.
"Shush!"
The other police officers in the factory, except the older one, all drew their guns, aiming at Lin Xi, their expressions tense.
None of them saw how Lin Xi moved, he was too fast, and they only reacted when the gun dropped to the ground.
With their captain restrained, essentially threatened and disarmed, they couldn’t sit idly even if they disapproved of Ren Hao.
It wasn’t just Ren Hao’s matter now, but all of theirs too, as it concerned not just their dignity but also their duty.
"Release our captain immediately, or don’t blame us for being rude!" a young police officer shouted at Lin Xi.
"Let go quickly!"
"Right now, this instant!"
"..."
"Everyone put down your guns." The old police officer, being the most experienced, advised again, "Young man, it’s all a misunderstanding, let’s talk it over calmly."
As things stood, he noticed that not far away, Zhou Yan showed no urgency, which was inconsistent with her reputed temper.
Moreover, Zhou Yan took this break to pull Wang Xian aside, still maintaining a relaxed demeanor, as if she wasn’t worried at all.
She should know that if a fight broke out, their guns would be merciless, people could actually die.
Zhou Yan, being a police officer, must be fully aware.
Thus, if anything seems unusual, there’s something strange!
"Wee-woo wee-woo wee-woo..."
At this time, over a dozen police cars arrived at the factory floor; fortunately, the space was large enough to accommodate them.
From the first police car, a slightly overweight middle-aged man got out, someone Lin Xi had met at the police station before, Director He.
He did not rush into the factory but instead walked to a police car behind, purposely opening the door for a medium-built, somewhat chubby man with a square face and a nondescript yet memorable presence, appearing to be in his fifties.
"Director Yan?" Zhou Yan exclaimed in surprise, feeling slightly disappointed inside, "Too bad, the fight won’t happen."
In fact, in her mind, both Ren Hao and the other person were despicable; a fight between them would surely be amusing to watch.
As for potential dangers, an accidental discharge, or rather, given the circumstances, a certain discharge, occurrences were inevitable.
However, Zhou Yan felt nothing major would happen, considering Lin Xi had always defied her expectations, even while being targeted by four or five people with guns, his expression remained unchanged.
After all, these people had been played with by a group of kidnappers.
Wouldn’t a person who resolved kidnappers also resolve these few?
The best outcome, from Zhou Yan’s perspective, would be Ren Hao and his people getting beaten by Lin Xi, and Lin Xi getting arrested, aligning with her purposes.
"What’s going on, what’s going on, drop all your guns!" Director Yan strode into the factory, furious at what he saw.
He then quickly approached Lin Xi, seemingly asking sycophantically, "Are you Lin Xi? Miss Bai mentioned you before, it’s a pleasure to finally meet, truly a person of great talents!"
