Chapter 718: Chapter 621 Will They... Call the Police? (Subscribe please!)_1
Everyone present gaped at Tang Qing.
Misfired?
You’re brave to bring that up.
Their faces look strange one by one.
On Tang Qing’s side, they were surprised by how decisive Tang Qing was. He fired his gun as if he were in a shooting range, unafraid and unfazed. Was this the same young man who was once a first-year student back home in China?
Ian’s side also didn’t expect Tang Qing to intervene like this.
If Tang Qing’s bodyguard had taken action, it would have been acceptable. However, the fact that such a bullet was fired by a young man who still seemed naive... that expression was really just like someone stepping on another’s foot accidentally.
"Do you have a gun permit, Chinese man?" Ian asked curiously.
"Take a guess."
Tang Qing dare not say he had none. He can be arrogant, but being too arrogant wouldn’t be good.
"..."
Ian was dumbfounded.
"OK, you all can leave now. Let’s pretend today’s incident never happened, alright?" Ian seemed to have identified Tang Qing as a tough one. Since that’s the case, his previous plan was impossible to carry out. It would pose a risk if they remained.
"All right, Chai Ren, Mu Jian, let’s get in the car. We’ve nothing to do with what’s happening here anymore," Tang Qing said to the still dumbfounded pair, smiling.
Mu Jian was worried: "Little Tang, are you sure there’s nothing wrong? If they call the police, we’d be in big trouble. For a foreigner to be involved in such a case, it would definitely be a huge complication for Tang Qing."
Chai Ren didn’t move either. Before Tang Qing’s gunshot, it would have been easier to explain away as them accidentally knocking someone down. But after Tang Qing’s gunshot, they could no longer deny their involvement.
Upon hearing this,
Tang Qing slightly smiled.
"Do you think...they would call the police?"
Tang Qing suddenly turned to Ian and asked in a cool tone.
Gazed at him with a mixture of a smile and seriousness.
Ian was startled by his tone and expression. This attitude, he had experienced it several times with his boss. Whenever his boss spoke in this tone, it meant:
If there’s trouble, you need to handle it.
If you can’t handle it, I will have someone else take care of it.
Swallowing hard,
Looking at Tang Qing, he understood that this was indeed a tough guy, absolute. Ian quickly said, "Of course not, why would they call the police? I don’t want to cause any trouble either."
"Hmm, that’s good." Tang Qing nodded satisfactorily.
"Let’s go, don’t worry Chai Ren, Mu Jian. They won’t call the police," Tang Qing turned to the two and gave them a reassuring smile.
The smile was like the one a neighbor’s boy would give. This sudden shift in ambiance made both Chai Ren and Mu Jian nervous. Even though they didn’t have Ian’s ’experience’, it didn’t hinder their understanding of the underlying meaning behind Tang Qing’s words.
They hadn’t wasted all those years watching TV.
"Are you sure? They wouldn’t kill anyone, right?" Chai Ren was still worried. If someone died, it would involve the American police. He was worried that they might get involved if someone died, which would make the situation much worse.
"Right,"
Mu Jian echoed, he was also very apprehensive.
With so many witnesses, if anyone spilled the beans, Tang Qing would definitely get implicated. If he and Chai Ren didn’t report to the police later, they would be in trouble. Even if Tang and Chai Ren left, they might be permanently banned from entering the country, sought after for joint pursuit, or listed on a blacklist or something.
Tang Qing smiled.
What Mu Jian could think of, he certainly could as well. Since he dared to leave, he was not worried about these problems.
"Don’t worry. As long as Mr. Ian says there’s no problem, there won’t be. Involving the American police at this point would really be troublesome." Tang Qing explained.
Upon hearing this, Mu Jian nodded to himself.
If something happened later, there would still be time to deal with it.
If the American police were involved now, it would really make matters worse. After calming their thoughts, both Mu Jian and Chai Ren decided to leave. If something really happened later, there would still be a buffer period to find a solution.
"Alright, let’s leave immediately," said Mu Jian, hastening the bodyguard to get into the car, and Chai Ren quickly got in too. Tang Qing glanced at Ian behind him and showed a strange expression.
His eyes flashed with an odd glint.
Ian was baffled by this Chinese man’s stare.
Tang Qing turned around and got into the car with the fighter.
The convoy moved on. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
Inside the car.
"Tangtang, did the guy just now die?" Clinging to Tang Qing’s arm, Lin Jiaxue asked, full of concern. She was referring not to the guy who was still wailing, but the one who was hit and knocked flying at the start of the incident.
"No, he only suffered some minor injuries," Tang Qing reassured with a smile.
"Then, would they kill anyone?" Lin Jiaxue asked again anxiously.
Tang Qing patted her hand and said, "Don’t worry, they won’t. Think about it, with so many witnesses around, who would be foolish enough to commit murder here? They just have a grudge; it was merely a lesson. It’s fine."
"Will you get into trouble for firing the gun?" Lin Jiaxue kept asking questions.
"They won’t call the police, so I won’t get into trouble. I just grazed his leg a bit," Tang Qing answered. Seeing Lin Jiaxue about to ask another question, he leaned down and fervently kissed her in mid-sentence.
"Mmm..."
Slowly, Lin Jiaxue’s nervousness faded away under the kiss.
After a while.
Their lips separated.
Tang Qing comforted her, "Don’t overthink it. I won’t put myself in danger. If I say everything will be fine, it will be. Trust me."
"Mmm."
Lin Jiaxue buried her head in Tang Qing’s chest, no more questions asked.
Elsewhere.
In Chai Ren’s car.
Zhan Xi clutched Chai Ren’s hand. She hadn’t been too worried about herself earlier. Although she was a doctor, she worked for the military hospital in Beijing and had learned a measure of self-defense. As long as the opponent didn’t have a gun, ordinary villains couldn’t harm her.
It was Chai Ren’s situation that concerned her. If those people went crazy, their whole group would be in danger.
However, she was astonished by Tang Qing’s gunshot.
Chai Ren still could hardly believe that Tang Qing had fired that shot. It was so accurate, and Tang Qing showed no signs of panic or tension afterward. It was like he had done something trivial.
Only a truly experienced person could act like that.
In this situation.
He, a veteran of several years’ service, lacked that equanimity.
"Stop worrying, Little Tang just acted in urgency. But I have to say, he was really cool. Jiaxue found herself a good husband," Zhan Xi commented admiringly. Tang Qing had fired that shot for her.
At that moment when he fired the gunshot.
He could not deny, Tang Qing was incredibly cool.
Chai Ren took a deep breath.
"Indeed, Little Tang is no ordinary man. I thought he was just a lucky university student. Now, I see that there’s real strength behind that luck. I can’t help feeling inferior to his marksmanship, it seems like the bullets were an extension of himself." Chai Ren said, sighing.
"Haha, it’s not like it’s your first day knowing that Little Tang isn’t ordinary. Stop overthinking it. Regardless of what happens, he’s our friend. The more powerful he is, the better, right?" Zhan Xi patted her boyfriend’s shoulder and laughed.
"Yeah, I just hope those people won’t report to the police." Chai Ren’s concern returned as he thought of the fate of those three guys. If Ian were to frame Tang Qing, that would get ugly.
"Let’s discuss this with Mu Jian when we get back. He’s familiar with the situation here," Zhan Xi suggested.
"That’s all we can do," Chai Ren nodded in agreement.
...
At the scene of the incident.
Ian watched as Tang Qing’s convoy drove away.
He glanced down at the three guys.
About to speak.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
"Ian, the police are coming. You have seven minutes to evacuate," a lookout’s voice came from the phone.
"Alright."
Ian hung up.
"Quickly, the police are coming. Let’s take these guys and move to a different location."
Without any further ado.
The men threw the wounded onto a vehicle and drove off in the three cars that they had forced to a stop earlier. Using dirt, they quickly covered the bloodstains on the ground and left the location via a pre-planned escape route.
Three minutes later.
An American police car stopped at the scene.
A white police officer stepped out.
He had a distinctive aura.
He took out a flashlight and looked around.
Suddenly, the bloodstains on the ground caught his attention. Upon closer inspection, he found several bloodstains scattered on the ground. The white officer used his walkie-talkie to contact headquarters, reporting, "Headquarters, there’s nobody here. We’ve found no signs of disturbance... Okay, I’ll get right on it."
Then.
He stood up, kicked the dirt around a bit, covering up the bloodstains that were uncovered.
He glanced around.
Cautioned against any missing detail.
The white police officer got back into the car and rushed off towards another reported location with the siren blaring.
