Upon hearing Zhu Fei's words, the atmosphere at the scene first went silent before erupting into raucous laughter led by Brother Skull and Sun Hao.
Especially Brother Skull and Sun Hao, when they looked at Zhu Fei, it was as if they were regarding an imbecile.
"Kid, you are quite arrogant! I, Brother Skull, have been in Lan City for so long, and today is truly the first time I've seen someone as ignorant and idiotic as you are!"
With a face full of mockery, Brother Skull sneered again, "Today, I really want to see just how you're going to get us killed, hahaha...!"
As he spoke, Brother Skull's laughter abruptly ceased, and a fierce look flashed across his face as he waved at the people around him.
"Waste that kid completely! Grab that girl for me; I'll have my fun with her right in front of him, and see if he still dares to be cocky in front of me!"
As soon as Brother Skull finished speaking, four young men with iron rods in their hands, wearing sinister smiles, gradually approached Zhu Fei and Tang Mengyun.
"Courting death!"
Zhu Fei could no longer restrain the murderous intent in his eyes. His domineering aura from his previous life, mixed with the towering rage within him, suddenly erupted at this moment!
An unimaginable sense of authority instantly made the four young men who had just approached halt in their tracks, their breath catching.
Their faces also showed an undisguised fear, as if any further movement would provoke Zhu Fei to slay them like a king descending upon the world.
Even Brother Skull and Sun Hao behind them felt as though a mountain had suddenly been pressed on their chests, leaving them breathless.
"Strike now! Do it quickly! Waste him! WASTE HIM!"
Brother Skull forcibly suppressed the horror in his heart and began to shriek frantically, as if only by doing so could he temporarily alleviate the intense oppression Zhu Fei had inflicted upon him.
"Vroom... Vroom vroom!"
However, just then, a loud engine roar suddenly filled everyone's ears.
Everyone looked in astonishment to see a Passat police car racing towards them at an incredibly fast speed, not far from them!
It only took a moment for the police car to "screech" to a stop right next to Zhu Fei and Tang Mengyun.
The car door swung open, and out stepped a beautiful woman dressed in a police uniform, with a slender waist, long legs, a beautiful face, an icy demeanor, yet not without an air of decisiveness.
This person was none other than Qiu Ruoxue, the captain of the Criminal Police team who had experienced the bank robbery with Zhu Fei and Tang Mengyun.
At that moment, her gaze swept around, first glancing over the four young thugs who were about to attack Zhu Fei, then landing on the stunned faces of Sun Hao and Brother Skull.
Finally, her gaze settled back on Zhu Fei and Tang Mengyun beside her.
She first nodded at Tang Mengyun, whose face was somewhat pale, as a greeting, before shifting her gaze back to Zhu Fei.
"Zhu Fei, come back to the police station with me later, I have something to discuss with you."
Surprise flickered across Zhu Fei's face; he had not expected Qiu Ruoxue to appear at such a moment.
Yet, after hearing her follow-up, his brow furrowed slightly, and he also looked at Qiu Ruoxue, "Is there something that can't be discussed here?"
Qiu Ruoxue shook her head gently, her tone bland, "No, it's inconvenient to talk here, and I also can't give you what you're owed right now."
Qiu Ruoxue's words caused a stirring within Zhu Fei.
He suddenly remembered that after the bank robbery, Qiu Ruoxue had mentioned she would apply for a reward on his behalf.
"Could it be that her visit today is about that matter?"
Contemplating the possibility, Zhu Fei hesitated for a moment before nodding to Qiu Ruoxue, "Okay, but..."
"Damn it! What are you idiots still doing standing around? WASTE THAT KID FOR ME NOW!"
Before Zhu Fei could finish, Brother Skull, evidently impatient, roared at the four young thugs.
Startled by Brother Skull's brazen words, both Zhu Fei and Qiu Ruoxue's expressions chilled in unison.
Without waiting for Zhu Fei to act, Qiu Ruoxue stepped forward and a chillingly icy word burst from her lips, "GO AWAY!"
"Heh, what a spicy little thing. Which team are you from? Go ahead and tell me; I happen to be acquainted with your Director Mu."
Unexpectedly, after seeing Qiu Ruoxue step forward, Brother Skull's attitude transformed completely.
The impatient and malicious expression visibly shifted to a sleazy grin in an instant.
With a relaxed and self-satisfied look, it was evident he didn't take Qiu Ruoxue's identity as a police officer seriously at all.
"How about it, Miss Officer? Fancy having some fun with me later? If you manage to 'satisfy' me, I wouldn't mind putting in a good word for you with Director Mu."
While speaking, Brother Skull's eyes were already brazenly sizing up Qiu Ruoxue.
"Tsks, truly top-grade, eh? Who would've thought Brother Skull would get so lucky today, meeting not just one, but two top-grade beauties, a policewoman and a campus belle, hehe… heh heh heh..."
Watching Brother Skull chuckling salaciously to himself, Qiu Ruoxue's eyes had already narrowed significantly, a bone-chilling glint shining through them.
"Have you said enough? If you have, then you can get lost, lest I can't restrain myself from hitting you, dirtying my own hands."
Hearing Qiu Ruoxue's words, the corners of Zhu Fei's mouth, standing to the side, couldn't help but curl into a slight smile.
He hadn't expected the seemingly cold and frosty Qiu Ruoxue would speak so sharply.
Previously, Brother Skull hadn't taken her identity as a police officer seriously, but now, seeing the way Qiu Ruoxue was acting, it seemed she didn't take Brother Skull's mentioned Director Mu seriously either.
"This is really getting interesting," Zhu Fei thought with amusement.
"Filthy bitch, what did you just say? Say that again to me, I dare you!"
Unlike Zhu Fei's amused thoughts, Brother Skull's facial expression had already changed from the previous smirk to a completely ominous look.
He had dealt with many police officers by now.
Every time he mentioned his background, which police officer didn't give him some face? Even if those officers didn't like him personally, at the very least, they showed him some courtesy on the surface.
Who would behave like Qiu Ruoxue now, not giving him any face and instead threatening him?
This made Brother Skull feel as if he had been instantly humiliated by a woman.
He gestured broadly to the four young gang members present, "Go! Get that cop girl, I want to see how you're going to hit me in a moment."
At this moment, Brother Skull had completely forgotten the reason he had come here, no longer considering Zhu Fei, a small character, worth his attention.
All his thoughts were now focused on Qiu Ruoxue.
Watching the four young gang members slowly approaching her, a cold glint flashed in Qiu Ruoxue's eyes.
She didn't wait for them to get close, as Qiu Ruoxue suddenly made the first move!
With a fierce stomp on the ground with her legs, her delicate body suddenly soared into the air.
Then came two "bang bang" sounds, as Qiu Ruoxue's long, powerful legs harshly kicked the heads of two of the gang members!
Without any suspense, the two of them didn't even have a chance to groan before collapsing limply onto the ground, completely passed out!
Seeing this, the horror struck the hearts of the remaining two gang members.
They had just tried to swing their iron rods to attack Qiu Ruoxue.
However, what terrified them was that Qiu Ruoxue's speed was simply too fast; they couldn't keep up with her movements.
Qiu Ruoxue twisted her slender, elastic waist in midair, pulling off a backflip and then landing steadily behind the remaining two gang members!
Only a "bang" sound was heard.
Before the remaining two had time to react, they suddenly felt pain in their heads.
Immediately after, like the first two gang members, their bodies abruptly collapsed, eyes rolling back as they passed out without suspense.
Zhu Fei was somewhat astonished as he witnessed all this.
He didn't expect that, after some time apart, this woman's strength had improved so greatly.
If he wasn't mistaken, Qiu Ruoxue's ability was now terrifyingly close to the early stage of a Martial Artist at the Light Power level.
Only that could explain the perfectly graceful maneuvers she had executed in midair.
Realizing this, a chill went down Zhu Fei's spine.
"It seems I really must intensify my efforts from now on. The world is probably just as I had initially suspected, far from simple."
...
"You, you... don't come here! Stop! Stand still!"
At that moment, not far away, Brother Skull had finally come back to his senses after witnessing the scene.
He looked at Qiu Ruoxue's cold face as she slowly closed in on him, and fear finally surfaced in his eyes.
Coupled with Sun Hao, standing next to him, both faces were filled with terror.
They simply couldn't imagine what their fate would be if Qiu Ruoxue used the same tactics on them.
This was no longer just an issue of losing face; this was a tangible threat.
Looking at his subordinates, one by one, lying unconscious, Brother Skull finally felt real fear.
"You... you can't do this to me. My uncle is the deputy director of your police department. If you dare..."
"Bang!"
Before Brother Skull could finish his sentence, Qiu Ruoxue's long, powerful leg had ruthlessly struck right at his lower "body."
