Chapter 337 Did He Just Fly?
“Did... he just fly?” the security guards who had been alerted stared at him and their jaws fell open in shock.
How could a mere mortal fly into the air so nonchalantly?
Everyone found it unbelievable.
On the second floor, at the doorway of the classroom, the villain had his arm around Jiang Miaoyu’s neck and held a black, cold, and metallic gun to her temple. He continued to glance at the doorway, and his lips curved into a cold smile.
He was sure that he’d definitely be able to escape this time.
No one would be able to catch him!
No one from the military area would dare to mess with him now that he held so many people hostage.
He was wearing explosives on him, so it would be very dangerous for the military men to approach him. However, it was safer to wear these explosives than a bulletproof vest since no one would dare to challenge him, let alone open fire at him.
Even if someone were to ambush him, the impact from him falling to the ground would be enough to set off the explosives!
This meant that it would be impossible for those from the military to take him down.
After he left the campus, no one would be able to take him down. Would the men from the military zone have the guts to chase after him if he headed into the city wearing explosives?
He was feeling very proud and confident that he would be able to leave the campus safely when a black silhouette slowly rose up from the ground toward him.
Fang Qiu flew to the second floor and paused mid-air as he stared at the villain.
The villain froze at the doorway of the classroom.
How was it possible for someone to jump so high without the help of wires or other contraptions?
He did not just freeze in shock but he was completely dumbfounded.
Damn! How was it possible for such an impossible phenomenon to occur?
Moreover, why did it seem so realistic?
He was extremely astonished!
MId-air.
“Let her go!” Fang Qiu bellowed angrily when he saw that the villain had an arm around Jiang Miaoyu’s neck. “I’ll spare you if you release all the hostages you’ve held in this classroom.”
“You’ll spare me?” the villain quickly shook himself out of his shocked reverie and calmed himself down. Then, he smiled menacingly at Fang Qiu and said, “You’ll be the first to die!”
Then, he moved the gun that he held to Jiang Miaoyu’s temple, pointed it at Fang Qiu, and fired.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Gunshots sounded.
He fired three bullets that hurtled straight at Fang Qiu’s head.
“Humph!”
Fang Qiu scoffed coldly, and his internal Qi burst out from him like a tsunami the moment the bullets hurtled toward him.
He moved his right hand, and his internal Qi moved along with his arm to form a large palm mid-air. The three bullets that were about to hit him were sent flying.
“What?” the villain was flabbergasted.
He rubbed at his eyes in disbelief.
How did this mysterious man manage to send the bullets flying with one wave of his palm?
How could it be?
It wasn’t only the villain who stared at the mysterious man in shock.
Jiang Miaoyu, who was held hostage by the villain, was equally dumbfounded.
Everyone in the classroom, including the security guards and those from the military area, gaped at the mysterious man, wide-eyed and slack-jawed. No one was able to say anything.
This man could fly into the air and send the bullets flying with one wave of his palm.
How was it possible for someone like him to exist?
Was he an immortal?
Everyone looked assessingly and in shock at Fang Qiu’s figure, which was suspended mid-air.
They stared at him as though he was a freak who had shocked everyone.
“Stay, stay back!”
The villain turned pale, and his arm tightened around Jiang Miaoyu as though he was terrified of Fang Qiu. He retreated with his arm still around Jiang Miaoyu and said menacingly, “I’ll kill her if you come any closer!”
Then, he immediately trained his gun on Jiang Miaoyu’s temple.
He was so nervous that his arm subconsciously tightened around Jiang Miaoyu’s neck, and immediately, Jiang Miaoyu flushed red and couldn’t stop coughing.
Her face was streaked with tears.
She was terrified and in pain!
“You must be courting death!” Fang Qiu’s eyes flashed coldly when he saw that Jiang Miaoyu was in pain. The internal Qi that swirled around him moved seamlessly like a torrent, charged toward the villain, and tied him up.
“I told you to stay back,” the villain said agitatedly, and his finger moved on the trigger. He wanted to prove that he was a man of his word.
He knew that Fang Qiu would not retreat unless there were bloodshed.
However, when he pulled the trigger to kill Jiang Miaoyu, to his surprise, he discovered that his fingers couldn’t move and he seemed to have frozen to the spot.
His fingers were not the only parts of him that couldn’t move, and he realized that he couldn’t move his legs either.
There seemed to be a massive force that pressed down toward his body from all directions, which rendered him immobile.
He was frightened.
He was completely terrified and flustered.
He felt as though he had been pushed off a cliff, and the situation seemed completely hopeless.
He couldn’t do anything but watch helplessly as Fang Qiu flew toward him, tugged at his arm, and easily rescued Jiang Miaoyu.
He wanted to pull the trigger, but he couldn’t move at all, no matter how hard he tried.
He knew that he was done for!
As he expected, Fang Qiu roughly snatched the gun from his hand and delivered a hard smack to the murder’s head after he rescued Jiang Miaoyu.
The impact was enough to cause the villain to faint and strong enough to send him flying down toward the head of security downstairs.
Everyone downstairs immediately panicked.
The villain had RDX explosives on him, and the explosives would definitely explode.
“Oh no, move back!” the head of security shouted loudly.
Everyone immediately scattered in all directions.
Strangely, the villain suddenly stopped plummeting downward when he was one meter away from the ground, but instead, his body gently landed on the ground.
The head of security breathed a sigh of relief.
“Quick, get the explosives off him!” the head of security said.
Soon, several military men rushed forward and meticulously removed the explosives.
In the classroom, Jiang Miaoyu was crying uncontrollably, and Fang Qiu reached out to tenderly wipe her tears from her face when he saw how red her eyes were. He wanted to speak but ultimately chose to remain silent.
He turned and flew out of the window.
After the villain’s explosives were safely removed from his body, the head of security turned and realized that the mysterious man was gone.
He thought quickly and immediately said, “The alert is lifted!”
The moment he uttered those four words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“Li Ji, Luo Shu, come here,” the head of security said.
Li Ji and Luo Shu glanced at each other before they ran over.
“Did you know who the mysterious man was?” the head of security asked.
“No,” they shook their heads in unison with similar wry smiles.
“How did you know that he was the guru?” the head of security asked with a frown.
“Sir,” Luo Shu smiled wryly before he continued, “I wish I actually knew him. Li Ji told me earlier that the mysterious man on campus is highly-skilled and is also a guru. I doubted the credibility of his words, came to the campus with Li Ji, and finally found this mysterious man. I also verified that he was indeed a highly-skilled guru. We wanted to recruit him to the army so that he could contribute to the nation ,but he turned us down.”
“Yes,” Li Ji immediately corroborated what Luo Shu said. “The reason why I knew of his existence was that I mobilized a bunch of freshmen for military training the previous time.”
“Yes,” the head of security nodded as understanding dawned. “Was he reluctant to join?”
“Yes,” Luo Shu nodded and said, “he said that he would appear if the country is ever in need of his help, but he didn’t want to be constrained by military regulations. He loves the country, but he values his freedom more.”
“I see,” the head of security said. “I’ll let both of you be in charge of this task. Find out who exactly is the mysterious man no matter what it takes.”
“Sure,” Li Ji’s eyes suddenly lit up as he said, “There is a possibility of unmasking him this time.”
“How so?” Luo Shu asked curiously.
“Don’t you remember the name list? Most of the people were at the cafeteria, so someone whose name wasn’t on the cafeteria list might just be the mysterious man,” Li Ji said.
Luo Shu’s eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea.
Most of the students were ordered to stay at the cafeteria, so it would be easy to find out who had been at the cafeteria.
At the principal’s office.
The ex-leader was astonished when he heard the head of security’s brief of what had happened.
How could the mysterious man not fear bullets at all?
“The mysterious man sounds incredibly amazing if you were speaking the truth earlier. This man should render his services to the nation,” the ex-leader said. Then, he ordered, “You must find out who exactly he is.”
Then, the ex-leader quickly left with his security guards.
After all, no one knew whether there’d be a repeat of what happened earlier. The ex-leader didn’t dare to loiter around the campus for his own safety and for the students’ safety.
Chen Yinsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after the ex-leader left.
“Tell all Directors to stop news of today’s incident from being made known to the public. Whoever is found to have leaked information shall be dismissed!”
The Directors of the various faculties received the news and immediately notified the tutors.
If it were found out that one of the students from their classes had leaked information, the tutor-in-charge of that particular level would be fired.
Then, the information was cascaded down to the teachers-in-charge of the various classes.
Then, these teachers immediately notified their students that whoever was found to have leaked information on this incident to the public would be expelled.
In the classroom.
Liu Feifei told her students, “This is a very serious matter, and no one is allowed to speak of this matter. Please watch what you say, and it would be best if you could forget about this incident, do you understand?”
Everyone nodded.
They didn’t dare to speak thoughtlessly about this issue, either.
This was an incident that involved the military and the ex-leader. If this incident were made public and caused trouble, the consequences would be dire.
After all, they were only students.
At the very last row of seats in the classroom, Fang Qiu had already changed back into his clothes and returned to join the rest of his class.
The situation had been so chaotic earlier that no one noticed that Fang Qiu had left.
Soon, after the class meeting, he immediately went in search of Fang Miaoyu.
