Chapter 177: Hold it
Duan Cheng was one of the thugs in the back of the car, and he was looking at Kang Shuchun weirdly. For her to chuck the officer like a toy made him flabbergasted. He didn't know what to say to that.
While Duan Cheng is left there, contemplating what to do, the officer is filled with rage. Being thrown to the ground like that made him feel like he's being disrespected. He sneers, "I'm warning you, the people these thugs have offended are people that you shouldn't be offending."
But Kang Shuchun didn't look at him at all. She continues to look at the thugs, waiting for them to come out. Being ignored like that hit a nerve as he's seriously pissed off. He pulls out his gun and shouts, "Put your hands in the air. You're under arrest for obstruction of duty." It'll be a stain on his life if he doesn't arrest her now.
He thought Kang Shuchun would flinch while facing a gun at point-blank. Contrary to his belief tho, Kang Shuchun didn't flinch at all. She just kept looking at the thugs, waiting for them to get out of the car. Even though Kang Shuchun wasn't shuddering, it didn't mean others weren't. Duan Cheng looks at her with wide eyes; can't you see the gun pointed at you? How can you still ask us to go out?!
You bitch! The officer couldn't believe she was still ignoring him after the gun was pulled out. Out of anger, the officer was going to take the shot.
However, before he could, Elder Wu had walked up beside him and pushed the weapon down.
"Young man, resorting to violence in this situation would be bad for all of us. Firing a shot would cause a big commotion, and people are bound to come here." Elder Wu didn't want to have people come over here to look at what was going on. He wants to do this discreetly and without any problems.
The officer quickly backs away from Elder Wu. When did he get beside me?! Even though the officer hasn't been focusing on Elder Wu, he still couldn't believe that he got so close to him without him even noticing it.
A stern expression is on the officer's face as he says, " My job is to take these thugs to the police station. If you are hindering me, then I will be forced to take you guys in as well." Even though he was outnumbered two to one, the officer wasn't going to let the thugs escape. Even if the two of them grab ahold of the thugs, he was going to make it a struggle for the two.
Elder Wu smiles at him, "Young man, I respect your ethics and duty as an officer. But you shouldn't throw away your life over something like this."
"What do you-" When the officer heard Elder Wu's threat, he was confused at first. But then he could feel a killing intent coming out of Elder Wu. Why does that elderly man look like a monster?! Instead of an elderly man, the officer felt like he was getting devoured. The aura he was feeling was suffocating.
Before the officer could suffer, another police car had stopped beside his car. It's the officer's superior.
"What is going on?" When the superior saw the officer's car in the middle of the road and the officer out, he felt something was up.
"Senior Qiang, thank goodness that you are here!" The officer quickly runs up to him and away from Elder Wu. Being so close to him made him feel like he'll die the next second. He quickly explains, "Senior! These people want to take the prisoners away!"
"Hmmm." When sergeant Qiang heard it, he started to frown. Why would they want the thugs? He looked at Elder Wu and then went wide-eyed, "You can take them away, sir."
When the officer heard his superior say that, he couldn't help but feel his jaw drop down to the floor! Where are your work ethics, Senior?! He had thought sergeant Qiang would side with him and help him deal with the two. Not helping the two strangers.
Elder Wu smiles, "Thank you." He looks at Kang Shuchun, signaling her to move the thugs. Kang Shuchun nods, ready to carry the thugs out. But before she could take them away, the young officer shouted at them.
"Hold it!"
At the police station, Officer Shang looked at his cup of tapioca. He was killing time while waiting for the reported gang members to be collected from the school and delivered to the police station.
"Stop your lollygagging Shang!"
Officer Shang saturday up in his chair, surprised by the arrival of his supervisor Cheif Bangass. Bangass had been riding Shang ever since Bangass's wife became pregnant with twins.
"Still waiting on those gangsters who attacked those rich kids." Offered Shang
"Idiots" thought Shang "Why would they think they could attack rich kids and get away with it... it is like pointless trope throwaway side-plot in a slice of life novel; rich kids with supernaturally great martial skills, fighting ridiculously emboldened dumb gangsters."
Shang and Bangass paused momentarily, gazing off into the distance, as if lookin into some other dimension.
Ring ring... ring ring... chimed the ancient corded phone [communication token] at the dispatch desk.
Shang fumbled for the reciever, listened briefly, and offered the phone to Cheif Bangass.
"What is it?" asked the Chief.
"For you... " stuttered Shang
Cheif Bangass listened for a few minutes.
"Yes... hum...... yes... I understand. Right away!"
Bangass immediately left the station. And hurried in his squad car [flying sword] to a nearby intersection, jumping out and running into a deli.
"The usual, with extra cabbage."
His wife's cravings were driving him nuts. He wondered, on his return drive to the station, if the gangsters had been processed already, and if he should interrogate himself.
-End Chapter- ... see you in 2 days readers!
Seriously ... Mr. Author is really an expert in stretching a small event into a semi-arc ... at least make the chapters longer.
All of the confusion....
I'm confused.... so their job of guarding the elites of the school, their own "masters" is to wait outside the school? Why wouldn't any of these specialists enter the school to stop them? Is this the logic of "what doesn't kill them make them stronger/let's wait and let them grow?" And then "well, I see 12 people, that are thugs entering the school, surely this will be a growing experience for them..." so why even kidnap them after? This doesn't line up.... right now everyone thinks Lu Chen is a worthless young master, so why wouldn't the people tasked with saving his life and preventing harm... you know... actually prevent harm?
Furthermore, and I know this is a story about a reincarnation, but there are no special salves to magically make brain damage go away or to heal broken and shattered arms. Permanent damage can occur. Especially with metal baseball bats. So, again, why would these amazing combat people wait outside while watching their charges get hit with bats? I understand the training Lu went through was intense, but that was training and sparring. This is something completely different. The “Let’s watch as the person we are supposed to protect gets beat up for growth” is confusing....and .... the excuse of “we were far away due to x situation” is also strange because the yandere body guard was supposed to follow him. I’m not sure if they leave them at the school by themselves, though. If that is the case, there should have been a scene of how did Lu Chen’s guards find out about the attack and come back to “get” them.
Mr. Author, you wrote "Put your hands in the hair" in the third paragraph. Could you fix that?
