Qilin: How Dare You!

Qilin and the others were not speaking loudly.

But not everyone present was ordinary.

Although Liu Chuang had no idea why he could hear every word so clearly from such a distance,

he had no time to think about it.

That bastard had knocked his younger brother unconscious, knocked out several of his teeth, and even broken both his legs.

How could he just let it go?!

He suddenly raised his head and shouted angrily toward Qilin:

"Hey! You female police officer—what gives you the right to cover for them?!"

His voice carried irrepressible fury, ringing especially harshly through the empty street.

Liu Chuang's single sentence immediately drew everyone's eyes toward Qilin.

Qilin halted and turned to look at Liu Chuang.

Her expression remained unchanged, but her gaze turned cold.

"Cover for them?" Her tone was calm, but carried undeniable force.

"Heh, Liu Chuang, haven't you committed enough crimes? Group brawling, extortion, harassing women... You've even assaulted police officers."

Qilin stared fixedly at Liu Chuang.

"Sheng'an's legs still haven't healed. He might never recover. Do you know what his family is going through now?"

"Because of a scumbag like you, a happy family was destroyed."

Liu Chuang's throat tightened. Then he stuck out his neck and roared:

"T-That was all in the past! I'm talking about you covering for them now—"

"They knocked my brother unconscious, knocked out my teeth, and broke both my legs! Aren't you going to do anything?!"

Qilin's gaze fell on Liu Chuang's perfectly intact legs, standing straight beneath him. Then she slowly looked up at him, her eyes seeming to regard an idiot.

Several surrounding police officers, and even Liu Chuang's own lackeys, could not help wearing strange expressions.

Your legs... aren't they perfectly fine? Where are they broken?

Liu Chuang also realized that after becoming some kind of war god, his legs had recovered as well.

His face stiffened. Then he gritted his teeth and pointed at Liu Dang, who was still lying on the ground:

"Fine, but they did knock my brother unconscious, didn't they?!"

He opened his mouth, revealing the gaps where several teeth were missing.

"And me—these teeth of mine were all knocked out by him!"

This time, everyone's eyes turned toward Qilin again.

They wanted to know how she would explain it.

But before Qilin could speak, Su Bai had already stepped forward.

"He harassed someone and even threatened to rape her," he said, his voice not loud, but every word clear. "Doesn't a beast like that deserve to be beaten?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Chuang's eyes instantly filled with fury again.

"Bullshit! My brother only wanted to make friends with her, and you attacked him so viciously!"

"Viciously?"

Angel Yan slowly stepped forward, lightly coming to a stop beside Su Bai. Her face showed an expression of astonishment, as if asking, How could you say that?

"Our Su Bai only wanted to make friends with your brother—and with you—didn't he?"

The corners of her lips lifted slightly, but her eyes held a hint of cold amusement.

"How did it become 'attacking viciously' when it came to you?"

For a moment, the air froze.

Everyone around them was left speechless by Angel Yan's words.

This girl looks gentle, but her tongue is as sharp as a blade. She's no pushover.

Qilin's attention, however, was focused elsewhere.

Her brows drew together slightly as the words "our Su Bai" echoed repeatedly in her mind.

This girl...

She looked carefully at the other woman.

Blond hair, appearing together with Azhui—she should be an angel too. And that face...

Qilin suddenly remembered.

That Queen Yan from the video before Su Bai's transmigration, in his Diary.

Only, the Yan before her had no crown, her hairstyle was different, and her Angel Wings were not spread behind her. That was why Qilin had failed to recognize her at first.

So it's her.

Beside her, He Weilan noticed her best friend's slightly furrowed brows and instantly understood.

She's jealous.

Looks like her little boyfriend was quite popular.

As for why she was certain it was a "little boyfriend"—He Weilan knew her good friend far too well.

She was not worried that Qilin would "lose" at all. If she had anything to say about it, Qilin was so wonderful that any man who was not blind would know whom to choose.

Choked by that rhetorical question, Liu Chuang could not speak. His face flushed bright red, and the veins on his neck bulged.

"You... you—" He panted heavily, his fists cracking as he clenched them. "You're twisting the truth!"

"Twisting the truth?" Angel Yan chuckled softly. Her tone remained gentle, but felt like a soft-edged blade.

"Are only you allowed to 'make friends,' while others aren't? Was that rule set by your family?"

Qilin took a deep breath, suppressing the mixture of irritation and indescribable emotion in her heart.

Now was not the time to get distracted.

She stepped forward and placed herself between both sides, her voice returning to its cool, official composure.

"Liu Chuang, we'll retrieve surveillance footage and question witnesses to determine according to the law whether your actions and your brother's constituted threats or harassment."

"As for how Su Bai and the others will be handled..." She looked at Liu Chuang, her tone calm but unyielding.

"I'll report the situation to the station chief. That is no longer your concern."

Liu Chuang clearly refused to accept this explanation.

He had heard everything clearly just now.

Officer Qilin was the station chief's daughter.

When the time came, wouldn't the outcome be decided by a single word from her?!

In truth, Liu Chuang was overthinking things.

Qilin had never been the kind of person who relied on her status.

She had always depended on herself at the Police Station and had never taken advantage of her father's position.

She had said this now purely because she trusted Su Bai.

Or rather,

she trusted the two angels standing beside Su Bai, who took "justice" as their faith.

Since they had not stopped Su Bai from acting, that at least meant that, according to the angels' understanding, Su Bai's actions were in accordance with "justice."

On the other hand...

Qilin had another, deeper concern.

If Su Bai were really taken back to the Police Station, given the "abnormalities" he had displayed today, what if he attracted the attention of certain departments above...

She dared not imagine whether Su Bai might be treated as a research subject, taken away, investigated, or even harmed.

She absolutely could not let that happen.

Liu Chuang's eyes turned vicious.

I've already become some kind of "war god," so why am I still swallowing this humiliation?!

His thoughts shifted, and evil rose in his heart.

Who cares whether the police are here? I'll kill this brat first!

Someone has my back anyway. Even if I break a police officer's legs, I can still be bailed out. What trouble could killing an identity-less little punk cause?!

He suddenly stomped against the ground, his body charging toward Su Bai like a cannonball. His right hand curled into a claw, reaching straight for Su Bai's throat!

He moved so quickly that the pressure of the wind even kicked up dust from the ground.

"You dare—!"

Qilin's expression changed drastically. She had almost drawn her gun the instant Liu Chuang rushed forward.

He Weilan and the two male officers behind her also immediately raised their guns and took aim.

But they only fired several shots at the ground beside Liu Chuang's feet. Gunshots exploded, and gravel flew as a warning.

After all, unless absolutely necessary, they could not directly shoot a suspect dead.

Qilin, however, was different.

Her gaze turned cold, and she slightly raised the muzzle.

She was not aiming at the ground, but at Liu Chuang's right leg.
