"Ow!"
Out of nowhere, a sudden severe pain caused Brother Skull to let out a heart-wrenching scream.
He quickly bent over, clutching his crotch with both hands, as cold sweat poured down his cheeks relentlessly.
"Bitch, you..."
Brother Skull had barely started speaking when the excruciating pain made him gasp for air.
Unable to curse at Ruoxue any longer, he collapsed to the ground, covering his crotch and rolling around while howling in agony.
Only his narrow, triangular eyes were fixated on Ruoxue, revealing deep-seated resentment.
Ruoxue ignored Brother Skull's gaze and turned her eyes towards the only "unharmed" Sun Hao.
Almost instinctively, Sun Hao retreated several steps, his face displaying barely concealable terror.
But before he could even start begging for mercy, he suddenly felt a hard slap on his shoulder.
His face froze in surprise, and as he turned his head and saw who had slapped him, he couldn't help but scream in horror,
"Zhu... Zhu Fei!"
At that moment, Zhu Fei was looking at him with a cold smile, his eyes icy.
"Thump—"
As if recalling something, Sun Hao's heart was filled with fear, climbing to its peak, causing him to unconsciously kneel down before Zhu Fei!
Not only that, but Sun Hao also began banging his head heavily on the ground, continuously pleading in a whining voice:
"Zhu Fei, Zhu Fei, I was wrong, really wrong, please, I beg you and that officer, to let me go this once, I swear, I will never bother you again..."
Sun Hao's sudden behavior surprised both Zhu Fei and Ruoxue.
When they recovered, a look of disdain and disgust flashed in Ruoxue's eyes.
She nodded slightly at Zhu Fei, then without paying any more attention to Sun Hao, Brother Skull, and the others, she walked towards Tang Mengyun, who was not far away.
Watching Ruoxue leave, Zhu Fei turned back to look at Sun Hao, who was still kneeling on the ground, continuously kowtowing and speaking all sorts of pleas.
At that moment, Zhu Fei felt a sense of insipidness in his heart.
His initial desire to obliterate him had also gradually faded.
After all, someone like Sun Hao was nothing more than a bully who thrived on the weak and feared the strong.
If he truly lowered himself to his level, it would only tarnish his own standing.
With this thought, Zhu Fei squatted down, his eyes sharply piercing Sun Hao.
"Remember what you said today, if there is a next time, I will definitely kill you!"
Zhu Fei spoke the last sentence close to Sun Hao's ear, inaudible to anyone else.
Kneeling and begging for mercy, Sun Hao felt a relief wash over him, but when he saw the undisguised murderous intent in Zhu Fei's eyes, his body shuddered violently.
The scenes of how Zhu Fei had dealt with him at school a few days ago suddenly flashed back to him.
"All that he said... was actually true!"
Only at that moment did Sun Hao truly understand that a ruthless person like Zhu Fei was truly capable of murder.
From then on, he had no more thoughts of revenge against Zhu Fei; he again banged his head hard on the ground, quickly saying:
"No... I wouldn't dare! Please rest assured, Boss Zhu, from now on, I, Sun Hao, will never cross you again, or else let me die a horrible death!"
Seeing this, Zhu Fei nodded his head, no longer wasting words with Sun Hao, and stood up, turning around and walking towards where Ruoxue and Tang Mengyun were.
...
"Zhu Fei, are you all right?"
At that moment, Tang Mengyun stepped forward and came up to Zhu Fei, her eyes filled with concern as she asked.
Zhu Fei felt a slight warmth in his heart.
He knew that Tang Mengyun was referring to whether Sun Hao, Brother Skull, and the others would continue to cause him trouble.
Earlier, Tang Mengyun had learned from Qiu Ruoxue that Brother Skull had some backing, and not just anyone could handle him.
Therefore, the tone of Tang Mengyun's voice carried an unconscious hint of worry.
"Heh, it's nothing, just a bunch of garbage. They can't do anything to me, don't worry."
Saying this, Zhu Fei's gaze involuntarily drifted towards Qiu Ruoxue, and he smiled faintly, "Besides, isn't Police Officer Qiu here? I believe in her character; she will not allow someone like Brother Skull to do whatever he wants in Lan City, right?"
Hearing Zhu Fei's words at that moment, Qiu Ruoxue's face remained as cold as ever, seemingly not responding directly to Zhu Fei's earlier words.
Yet, her action caused both Zhu Fei and Tang Mengyun to be slightly taken aback.
Qiu Ruoxue took out her cell phone and dialed a number.
Soon, she spoke into the phone, "Wang Li, I'm at Lan City No.1 High School XX, come over with some people right now and take away this trash."
After that, Qiu Ruoxue hung up the phone and then turned to Zhu Fei, "Zhu Fei, if there's nothing else, would you come with me to the station first?"
Zhu Fei nodded.
He had not really expected that the words he had casually said to reassure Tang Mengyun would actually get a response from Qiu Ruoxue.
"It seems this woman isn't as cold as she appears to be."
Thinking this, Zhu Fei then turned to Tang Mengyun, "Mengyun, it looks like I won't be able to join you for dinner this time. Let's do it next time, and I'll treat you."
Understanding that Zhu Fei truly had something urgent, Tang Mengyun also nodded and said, "Alright, then next time. Remember to treat me next time."
After speaking, Tang Mengyun took the lead in bidding farewell to Zhu Fei and Qiu Ruoxue and then turned and left.
Watching Tang Mengyun's figure gradually disappearing, Zhu Fei and Qiu Ruoxue didn't stay either; the two got into Qiu Ruoxue's police car and soon also disappeared into the distance.
...
A few minutes later, suddenly two police cars appeared at the location where Zhu Fei and the others had been.
The person leading them turned out to be the deputy captain of the criminal police who had appeared in that bank robbery incident, Wang Li.
At that moment, he looked at the gang of small-time delinquents slowly regaining consciousness, as well as Brother Skull, who was being supported by Sun Hao, and couldn't help but coldly smile, gesturing with his hand, "Take them all away!"
As Wang Li finished speaking, "whoosh," suddenly, several police officers in uniform appeared behind him and quickly subdued Brother Skull and his group.
Brother Skull, not resigned yet, glared at Wang Li with bloodshot eyes, his tone filled with venomous threat, "Do you really dare to arrest me? Do you know who my uncle is? Don't you even think..."
Before Brother Skull could finish talking, one of the police officers had stuffed a cloth into his mouth, silencing him instantly.
"Heh, if I'm not mistaken, your name is Mu Cheng, right? Your uncle is Mu Xiong, the deputy director of our police department, and your father is Mu Jie, the underground emperor of Lan City."
At this point, Wang Li had already come over to Mu Cheng, a.k.a. Brother Skull, and continued with a cold laugh:
"I'll let you know that Captain Qiu, the chief of the police department, even respects her, so do you really think that you can intimidate her or us with your background like before?"
Hearing Wang Li's words, fear finally appeared in Mu Cheng's eyes for the first time.
Although he was arrogant and bold, he wasn't foolish.
He knew that the person who even the head of the Lan City Public Security Bureau had to defer to must have a tremendously terrifying background.
At this point, if he still couldn't see the reality and wanted to oppose Qiu Ruoxue, then what awaited him might not just be a temporary detention.
It seemed that Wang Li had seen through Mu Cheng's current thoughts, and with just a cold laugh, he then led the rest of the police officers to shove Mu Cheng and the others into the police cars.
Soon, the police cars left, and calm truly returned to the area.
