Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Enemies Often Cross Each Other’s Paths
The criminal investigator, holding handcuffs, moved with the stride of a dragon and tiger, eyes fierce, heading directly to cuff Shen Yahut.
Shen Yahut’s chest heaved violently with anger; she raised her arm and slapped the investigator.
"Slap!" A resounding slap echoed.
"How dare you hit !" The investigator was stunned for a mont, utterly unexpected that Shen Yahut was so unrestrained, caught off guard and slapped directly.
The other companions were equally stunned; for Shen Yahut to hit soone was simply courting death. If it weren’t for the task at hand and their identity preventing them from acting recklessly, they would have struck at Shen Yahut viciously, and by then, Shen Yahut would have suffered fatal harm.
"So what if I hit you, my hand hurts! You’re just a servant, disregarding others, acting so audaciously, and using handcuffs to scare people. Hitting you was light, I would even sue you." Shen Yahut spoke with authority, overwhelmingly strong.
"Courting death!" The investigator was furious, having endured over and over, he was at his limit, unwilling to endure any longer.
Shen Yahut’s words had already set the investigator’s fierce aura ablaze, releasing an air of iron and blood.
Shen Yahut’s body trembled, under the pressure of the investigator, she involuntarily felt fear.
Even if she wanted to pretend to stay calm, she couldn’t; in her heart, she pondered with confusion: "Since when did Zhou Miss’s servants beco so formidable?"
She had seen all kinds of scenarios and had long trained herself to remain calm in the face of the biggest personalities, yet now she felt fear. The iron-blooded aura emanating from the investigator made her tremble involuntarily.
Just as Shen Yahut was alard, the investigator raised his palm, about to retaliate. An eye for an eye was the principle the investigator believed in; in his eyes, Shen Yahut’s ignorance had already provoked him, and he certainly wouldn’t be courteous.
Just as the investigator’s slap was about to land on Shen Yahut’s face, a hand akin to an iron clamp tightly held the investigator’s wrist, Ye Fan had intervened because he naturally wouldn’t sit by and watch Shen Yahut get hit.
Shen Yahut snapped out of it, feeling ashad for her fear. She looked at the towering figure standing by her side, gratitude in her eyes. If it weren’t for Ye Fan, she feared she’d lose face completely.
"Ye Fan, beat this ungrateful servant hard; if anything happens, I’ll take responsibility." Shen Yahut said angrily.
Veins bulged on the investigator’s face as Ye Fan’s hand, with imnse strength, restrained his wrist. No matter how he struggled, he couldn’t pull his hand back, and more importantly, his attempt to fight back was overwheld by a strong force spreading through his wrist, making his bones feel like they were about to be crushed. This brought imnse pain to the investigator.
"Damn it, let go of ." The investigator’s face flushed as he shouted in pain.
"Watch your mouth, or I don’t mind smashing all your teeth." Ye Fan said coldly.
At this mont, the other investigators noticed sothing was wrong, they quickly surrounded Ye Fan, pulling out guns.
"Release him, hear that? Otherwise, I’ll blow your head off." The investigators warned as if faced with a formidable enemy.
"Ye Fan, calm down, don’t make things worse." Chu ngyao hurriedly reminded him.
"Those who dared point a gun at my head have already died; considering your ignorance, I won’t be petty with you." Ye Fan glanced aningfully at the investigators, released his grip, and let go of the restrained investigator.
"His gaze is terrifying, like being stared at by a devil, making one’s hearts tremble."
"Who is this guy anyway? How can just his gaze be so formidable?"
The investigators, with frightened expressions, found their arms unwillingly lowering the guns from pointing at Ye Fan’s head.
They dared not continue, as if pointing at Ye Fan again would lead to a miserable end. Even with guns in their hands, they felt no sense of security, feeling like death lurked at any mont in front of Ye Fan. That suffocating aura was too terrifying.
The investigators retreated, whispering among themselves.
"These three don’t seem like assassins. If they were, that man wouldn’t have exposed his cards and would have hidden his strength."
"What should we do now? These three seem quite extraordinary."
"Our duty is to strictly inspect everyone entering the club, no invitation, no passage for those not on the invite list."
"Should we contact the Captain? See how they want to handle it."
After a discussion, one leading investigator contacted the captain through an earpiece.
Chu ngyao and Shen Yahut didn’t feel the killing power of Ye Fan’s gaze, but Ye Fan’s single sentence made the once arrogant investigators retreat, instantly turning Ye Fan’s image into that of a tall and formidable figure in the won’s eyes.
"Don’t force your way in, let
contact her. I originally planned to surprise her, didn’t expect I couldn’t even enter through the door." Chu ngyao pulled out a phone, dialing Zhao Shiyan’s number.
Soon, Zhang Lu appeared; her secret mission was to protect Zhao Shiyan’s father, naturally including Zhao Shiyan in the protective range as well. For Zhao Shiyan’s birthday party, Zhang Lu was especially vigilant because assassins were likely to strike at Zhao Shiyan anyti. Having received precise information, comprehensive protective asures were crucial.
Zhang Lu walked gracefully over, wearing a light green long dress that exuded a captivating allure with heroic spirit.
"Enemies et on a narrow road." Zhang Lu’s eyes flashed with anger as she looked at Ye Fan and Chu ngyao before turning to the investigators to inquire: "What happened? What’s going on?"
"Captain, here’s what happened." The investigators relayed the previous scene to the captain.
After listening, Zhang Lu approached Chu ngyao’s group, fixing her gaze on Shen Yahut, displeased: "Without an invitation, it’s normal for my people to check, but you dared to slap a police officer’s face. Do you believe I’ll arrest you now and let you taste prison?"
"What? Police? The person I just hit wasn’t Zhao Miss’s servant, but a police officer?" Shen Yahut was stunned.
She couldn’t help being shocked; this cri could be minor or serious, how could she not be worried?
"What did you think?" Zhang Lu smirked aningfully.
Shen Yahut looked pleadingly at the president, with a troubled expression: "President."
Chu ngyao glanced at Zhang Lu, then at the investigators, solemnly saying: "Captain Zhang Lu, your people are in plain clothes. Who could tell who they are? The word ’police’ isn’t tattooed on their faces. My secretary arguing with them and hitting people was wrong, but your people also said inappropriate things. Let’s just leave it at that."
Zhang Lu had no intention to pursue it further. She had important matters at hand; otherwise, she would have made a big fuss and brought all three into the police station for further action.
"You need to apologize to my people, and that will be the end of it." Zhang Lu said, indisputable.
"No problem." Shen Yahut agreed.
