Chapter 713 - 711: The Police Arrive
Therefore, Chen Tianlong remained highly vigilant.
Only to see Zhenzi approach, coldly glance at Chen Tianlong, preparing to draw a hidden weapon from her waist. This weapon was poisonous; just a touch would lead to full-body numbness. Thus, Zhenzi planned to use some tactics against Chen Tianlong to keep him from being too arrogant.
"Stop, everyone get down!" A young man about 1.75 meters tall and twenty-three or twenty-four years old, in a police uniform, entered with a small team armed with pistols.
Chen Tianlong was startled, realizing that something had happened—the police were here.
However, when he took a closer look, he recognized the person as an acquaintance, Zhou Qiang, the former deputy captain of the SWAT team.
"What exactly happened? Someone reported that you were fighting and causing trouble in a public place." Obviously, Zhou Qiang had not yet realized that it was Chen Tianlong before him.
"Haha, police brother, there’s really nothing much. Just met an old friend, and since we’re all martial arts practitioners, we sparred a bit. Unexpectedly, others misunderstood." Hao Ren responded intelligently, hastily coming up with this seemingly lame excuse, but it was quite effective.
"Yes, indeed, we’re old friends just sparring, Captain Zhou." Chen Tianlong did not wish to escalate the situation. As Hao Ren was trying to smooth things over like this, he had no objections.
"Oh? It’s you... Chen Tianlong." Zhou Qiang, looking at Chen Tianlong’s cheerful expression, was somewhat surprised.
"Hey, it’s me, nothing to worry about." Chen Tianlong nodded at Zhou Qiang and said with a smile.
Zhou Qiang knew there had definitely been a fight earlier, but since Chen Tianlong said it was fine, he didn’t want to pursue it.
"Alright, as long as nothing is wrong."
Zhou Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully nothing serious. Otherwise, he would have been busy again. Lately, he had been overwhelmed by some baffling cases—some claimed to encounter zombies, others ghosts. It’s unclear if any of it is true, but many nighttime drivers reportedly suddenly see a figure ahead, only for it to disappear upon getting out to check.
There was also a case where a car directly hit someone, yet the person immediately got back up and walked away without looking back, like hitting a ghost.
So, reports of seemingly supernatural events were increasing, giving Zhou Qiang a bit of a creepy feeling.
"Chen Tianlong, let’s catch up sometime. I have something to discuss with you. Recently, some bizarre cases have been giving me headaches. But I’ll leave that for later. I’m off."
Zhou Qiang, meeting an old friend, initially wanted to sit down and chat but was compelled to take care of business, leaving the deeper conversations for next time.
"Okay, next time then."
Chen Tianlong wasn’t in the mood for this either, as he needed to prepare for the martial arts competition coming up this weekend. Currently, his skills hadn’t improved at all, which was quite worrisome.
Zhou Qiang didn’t linger further, quickly securing his team’s firearms and leaving, aware that he had many tasks ahead. Meanwhile, Hao Ren, lacking the appetite for dinner, had called in a favor from Chen Tianlong, so instead of waiting for Zhenzi to speak, he took his leave.
Zhenzi, though angry, couldn’t act rashly. The police had barely left, and reporting them could lead to their arrest, jeopardizing their participation in the martial arts contest.
As for the Japanese cuisine, Chen Tianlong was certainly not interested in eating it, unsure if the Japanese girl had drugged it.
After Hao Ren and Lu Xiaoyu left, a somewhat timid-looking server approached, still holding a large tray. As she got closer, Chen Tianlong saw it was another identical serving of Japanese cuisine.
"I’m sorry, sir, for the previous unpleasantness." The waitress apologized, "Our boss instructed that you’re given another identical serving, with only one billed. Please enjoy."
Chen Tianlong didn’t speak, he just nodded. Lin Wushuang was the one who said, "Thank you!" as she cleared the table to assist the server in setting the dishes down.
After the waitress left, the three sat together, albeit not as cheerful as before. After all, they had come through unscathed. Lu Xiaoyu took the lead to brighten the mood, picking up a knife and fork, eating while proclaiming, "Wushuang, Tianlong, hurry up and eat. It’s really delicious!"
Chen Tianlong glanced over, seeing her eating exuberantly with great enthusiasm, immediately regaining his appetite.
"Alright."
Chen Tianlong wasn’t shy, grabbing his knife and fork and digging in. Lin Wushuang noticed the atmosphere improving, smiled faintly, and also picked up her utensil, though she ate more delicately, gently nibbling and chewing slowly.
Typically, young ladies eat this gracefully, unlike her friend Lu Xiaoyu, known for her extroverted nature.
After half an hour of dining, they were satisfied. Due to the earlier incident, Lin Wushuang didn’t feel like continuing to shop and asked Chen Tianlong to drive them back to school.
Chen Tianlong shared the sentiment. With recent events happening frequently, he had to remain vigilant, unaware that they were already being plotted against.
In Xu Family Mansion, Xu Fei brought back photos taken by Fang Xiaomin, loaded them onto the computer. Chu Jingyun had also arrived at Xu’s place, and the two began planning beside the computer.
"Young Master Chu, the photos are here. Take a look; are these okay?"
Xu Fei examined the mere ten photos, not quite satisfactory, only capturing some landscapes in front of the goddess. Even he felt unimpressed; posting these online wouldn’t be anything scandalous.
"Haha, this will do. Watch this." Young Master Chu slightly curled his lips, a hint of cunning showing. He placed the photos into an editing tool, being a professional at manipulation.
So in less than ten minutes, Lin Wushuang’s photos had been edited into nearly eighty percent topless high-definition images.
"Young Master Xu, what do you think of this?" While Chu was editing, Xu Fei was playing games nearby. He didn’t like watching others work, so upon hearing this, he rushed over to look, nearly having a nosebleed.
"Damn! This... is simply... perfect."
Xu Fei was extremely satisfied. Once this scandalous image was released, it would surely stir up the entire school. Not only Lin Wushuang but Lin Family’s reputation would be tarnished, possibly even forcing Lin Wushuang to transfer schools, and Chen Tianlong as her bodyguard would likely transfer too.
This way, South Sea No.1 Middle School would become Xu Fei’s domain, leaving no one to challenge him on courting girls or showing off, which seemed quite appealing.
"Haha, you’re too kind. There’s even more fun; let’s prepare to attack South Sea No.1 Middle School’s campus network." Chu Jingyun sneered, "Open your campus network, let me first check its scripting language."
"Alright."
Xu Fei wasted no time, directly inputting South Sea No.1 Middle School’s campus website URL into IE browser’s search bar. Once confirmed, the campus network was opened.
