Chapter 42: Qilin: You Dare!
Qilin and the others weren't speaking loudly.
But not everyone present was an ordinary person.
Although Liu Chuang couldn't understand why he could clearly hear every word despite the distance, He couldn't be bothered to think about it.
That scoundrel had knocked his brother unconscious, knocked out a few of his teeth, and even broke his legs.
How could he just let this go?!
He suddenly looked up and shouted fiercely in Qilin's direction:
"Hey! Officer—why are you protecting them?!"
His voice, filled with suppressed rage, sounded particularly jarring in the empty street.
Liu Chuang's words immediately drew everyone's attention to Qilin.
Qilin paused, then turned to face Liu Chuang.
Her expression remained unchanged, but her eyes turned cold.
"Protecting?" she asked calmly, but with undeniable force.
"Heh, Liu Chuang, haven't you committed enough crimes? Gang fights, extortion, harassing women... even assaulting a police officer."
Qilin stared intently at Liu Chuang.
"Sheng An's legs still haven't healed, and they might never recover. Do you know what his family is going through right now?"
"It's because of scum like you that a happy family has been ruined."
Liu Chuang's throat tightened, and he then retorted defiantly, "Th-that was all in the past! I'm talking about you protecting them—"
"They knocked my brother out, knocked out my teeth, and broke both my legs! Aren't you going to do anything about it?!"
Qilin's gaze fell upon Liu Chuang's straight, unbroken legs. She then slowly looked up at him, her eyes as if she were looking at an idiot.
The surrounding police officers, and even Liu Chuang's own subordinates, couldn't help but wear strange expressions.
Your legs... they look fine? Where are they broken?
Liu Chuang also realized that he had become some kind of "war god" and his legs had miraculously healed.
His face stiffened, and he then gritted his teeth and pointed at Liu Dang, who was still lying on the ground:
"Then my brother being knocked out by them, that's definitely true, right?!"
He opened his mouth, revealing his gums with several missing teeth:
"And me—these teeth were knocked out by him!"
Now, everyone's gaze shifted back to Qilin, Wanting to see how she would explain.
But before Qilin could speak, Su Bai stepped forward.
"He harassed someone and even threatened to assault her," he said, his voice not loud but clear. "Shouldn't such a beast be beaten?"
Hearing this, Liu Chuang's eyes instantly filled with rage again:
"You're spouting nonsense! My brother just wanted to make friends with her, and you attacked so viciously!"
"Viciously?"
Angel Yan slowly walked forward, gracefully standing beside Su Bai, a look of feigned surprise on her face.
"Didn't our Su Bai just want to 'make friends' with your brother and you?"
The corner of her lips curled up, but her eyes held a hint of cold amusement.
"Why is it 'hitting too hard' when it comes to you?"
The air froze for a moment.
The people around were stunned into silence by Angel Yan's words.
This girl, who looked gentle, had a sharp tongue like a knife; she wasn't easy to deal with either.
Qilin's focus, however, was different.
Her brow furrowed, and the phrase "our Su Bai" echoed repeatedly in her mind.
This girl...
She looked at the other person carefully.
Blonde hair, appeared with Azhui, so she must be an Angel too. This face...
Qilin suddenly remembered.
I couldn't find the book title, maybe try searching for the author, perhaps they just changed their name!
It was Yan, the Queen from that video before crossing over, which she had seen in Su Bai's diary.
But the Yan in front of him didn't have a crown, her hairstyle was different, and she didn't have Angelic Wings spread behind her, so she couldn't place her just now.
So it was her.
He Weilan, standing beside her, caught a glimpse of her best friend's slightly furrowed brow and immediately understood—
She was jealous.
It seemed her little boyfriend was quite popular.
As for why she was so sure it was a "little boyfriend"? He Weilan knew her best friend too well.
She wasn't worried about Qilin "losing" at all. In her opinion, Qilin was so great that as long as that kid wasn't blind, he'd know who to choose.
Liu Chuang was so choked by the rhetorical question that he couldn't speak, his face turning red, veins bulging on his neck:
"You... you all—" he panted, his fists clenched tightly, "are twisting facts!"
"Twisting facts?" Angel Yan chuckled lightly, her tone still gentle, yet like a soft knife.
"Are you only allowed to 'make friends,' but others aren't? Is that the rule in your family?"
Qilin took a deep breath, suppressing the mixed feelings of annoyance and something unexplainable churning in her heart.
Now was not the time to be distracted.
She stepped forward, blocking between them, her voice returning to a calm, business-like tone:
"Liu Chuang, whether your actions and your brother's actions constitute a threat or harassment will be determined by us after reviewing surveillance footage and interviewing witnesses, according to the law."
"As for how Su Bai and the others are handled," she looked at Liu Chuang, her tone flat but leaving no room for doubt, "I will explain the situation to the chief. This is not something you need to concern yourself with."
Liu Chuang clearly did not accept this explanation.
He had heard it clearly just now.
This Officer Qilin was the chief's daughter.
Wouldn't the outcome be up to her to decide?!
Actually, Liu Chuang was overthinking this.
Qilin was never someone who relied on her status.
She had always relied on herself at the police station and never borrowed any convenience from her father.
The reason she spoke like this this time was purely because she trusted Su Bai.
Or rather, She trusted the two Angels standing beside Su Bai, who believed in "justice."
Since they hadn't stopped Su Bai from taking action, it at least meant that, in the Angels' perception, Su Bai's actions were in line with "justice."
On the other hand...
Qilin actually had a deeper concern.
If Su Bai were to be taken back to the police station, given the "abnormality" he displayed today, what if it attracted the attention of certain departments above?
She couldn't bear to imagine Su Bai being treated as a research subject, taken away, investigated, or even harmed.
She absolutely could not let such a thing happen.
Liu Chuang's eyes narrowed viciously.
I'm already a "God of War," and I'm still taking this kind of humiliation?!
A thought flashed through his mind, and malice grew:
Who cares if the police are here, I'll kill this kid first!
Anyway, I have people backing me. I can break a police officer's legs and still get out of it. What big deal could killing some nameless brat be?!
He stomped his feet hard, his body lunging towards Su Bai like a cannonball. His right hand formed a claw, aiming straight for his throat!
His speed was so fast that the air pressure he generated even stirred up the dust on the ground.
"You dare—!"
Qilin's expression changed drastically. She drew her gun almost the instant Liu Chuang charged.
He Weilan and the two male police officers behind her immediately raised their guns and aimed.
But they only fired continuously at the ground near Liu Chuang's feet. Gunshots rang out, sending gravel flying, as a warning.
After all, unless absolutely necessary, they wouldn't shoot a suspect directly.
However, Qilin was different.
Her eyes were icy, and her gun barrel lifted slightly.
She wasn't aiming at the ground, but at Liu Chuang's right leg.
