In the instant of the collision with the car in front, Xiang Kun instinctively grabbed the handle above the window with one hand and reached out with the other to protect Xia Libing, preventing her from being thrown forward by inertia.
However, Xia Libing reacted quickly, grabbing the handle and steadying herself.
Moreover, the collision was relatively minor, and the braking inertia wasn't very strong, so there wasn't much of a mess.
"Are you alright?" Xiang Kun glanced at Xia Libing, then asked Yang Zhen'er and Tang Baona in front of him.
Fortunately, both women in the front seat were wearing seatbelts, so there were no problems.
"It's nothing... I was so scared! Why did the car suddenly stop?" Yang Zhen'er said, patting her chest.
Tang Baona frowned and scolded, "This is entirely your fault! How many times have I told you to watch your step while driving, and not to let your mind wander while talking? Why won't you change..."
Yang Zhen'er stuck out her tongue and quickly said, "I know, I know, it's my fault, it's my fault, I'll definitely correct it..."
Seeing that the driver of the car in front had already gotten out to check, Yang Zhen'er also unbuckled her seatbelt, preparing to get out and take a look.
Xiang Kun, Tang Baona, and Xia Libing also got out of the car and helped put up the warning triangle behind the vehicle.
Fortunately, they were in the innermost lane, so it didn't affect traffic too much.
Yang Zhen'er glanced at the spot where the two cars had collided. The front car had some minor paint damage to its rear bumper, while her car showed virtually no damage.
"Brother, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I take full responsibility." Yang Zhen'er didn't question why the car in front suddenly stopped, and said very simply.
"Okay, then you can have 500 yuan." The driver of the car in front was a dark-skinned man in his thirties or forties. He glanced at her and quoted a price directly.
Yang Zhen'er didn't care too much, and didn't worry about whether the price was too high. She was about to scan the QR code on her phone to transfer the money to him.
Xiang Kun suddenly said, "Let's call the police and go through the insurance process."
Yang Zhen'er was taken aback, not understanding why Xiang Kun was going to make the decision for her. For such a minor accident, going through insurance would be a losing proposition.
Xiang Kun continued, "It's a good opportunity to replace the entire bumper. Anyway, we haven't had any accidents last year or this year, so one accident won't affect next year's premium."
Yang Zhen'er cried out in her heart: Big brother, I've already been in danger three times this year!
However, she wasn't stupid; she could tell that Xiang Kun said that on purpose. Based on their interactions over the past few days, Xiang Kun was clearly not the type to act on his own initiative or cause trouble for no reason. There must be a reason for his sudden action.
Moreover, Tang Baona behind her was secretly pinching her waist, giving her a signal...
So Yang Zhen'er picked up her phone to call the police.
"Hey! This is just a minor accident, no need to call the police. Just give me 200 yuan and it'll be fine. It'll save everyone trouble." The driver of the car in front offered to lower the price.
Xiang Kun smiled and said, "Brother, please wait a moment. Our car also needs repairs. Don't worry, there's no traffic jam right now. The traffic police and insurance company will be here in a few minutes!"
At that moment, the passenger in the front car stuck his head out and yelled, "Stop messing around, let's go!"
So the dark-skinned man said directly, "Then you don't have to pay compensation, okay? We're in a hurry and can't wait any longer, so we're leaving now." With that, he prepared to turn back and get into his car.
Xiang Kun rushed up and stopped him, saying, "Brother, don't go! Wait a moment, it'll be quick!"
Yang Zhen'er realized the problem at this moment and said, "Brother, if you leave like this, we can tell the police you committed a hit-and-run!" She had already dialed 110 on her phone.
"What are you calling the police for? Don't you dare!" The man in the passenger seat got out, pointed directly at Yang Zhen'er, and strode over.
The driver shoved Xiang Kun and tried to snatch Yang Zhen'er's phone, but Tang Baona quickly pulled her friend away to avoid him.
"Ah! -- Why did you hit me?!"
A scream rang out, startling everyone on both sides. Then they saw Xiang Kun fall to the ground with exaggerated movements, first hitting Yang Zhen'er's BMW with a thud.
The dark-skinned man looked at his hand, somewhat puzzled. Had he used that much force?
"They're hitting people!! They're hitting people!! Call the police, call the police now!!" Xiang Kun screamed twice on the ground, then suddenly jumped up and roared, "Get away from my friend!! I'll fight you to the death!!"
The dark-skinned man in the lead didn't react in time. He was rammed into the chest by Xiang Kun and then hit in the face with a headbutt. His vision went black, and he fell straight to the ground.
The man who got out of the passenger seat was about to try and snatch Yang Zhen'er's phone when Xiang Kun the waist, and twisted him violently, throwing him off the ground and slamming him to the ground.
The changes that happened in those few short seconds left not only the passersby but also Yang Zhen'er and Tang Baona, who had already guessed what was going on, completely bewildered.
At first glance, it seems that Xiang Kun was being bullied by the two burly men in the car in front of him, knocked to the ground, and then suddenly went berserk, using the desperate methods of an honest man, with a headbutt and a slam, knocking the two men down.
But they all knew Xiang Kun's skills. Whether it was the videos circulating online, their own witnessing of him subduing a knife-wielding wanted criminal at an intersection, or what they heard from the boxing coach, all proved that Xiang Kun was very capable in combat. He was simply making up an excuse to deal with these two.
But why is that?
The rear right door of the car in front opened, and a middle-aged woman got out. She glanced at Yang Zhen'er, who was making a call to the police, and her two companions on the ground, but ignored them and tried to run away.
But as soon as she turned her head, she saw a tall girl, over 1.7 meters tall, wearing sweatpants and basketball shoes, blocking her way. The girl suddenly swung her leg and struck her hard in the groin.
The tall girl was none other than Xia Libing. Ignoring the middle-aged woman who was clutching her genitals and curled up on the ground like a shrimp, unable to make a sound, she went straight for another middle-aged woman who got off the back seat. Taking advantage of the moment when the woman had just gotten off the bus and hadn't yet stood up properly, she delivered a side kick to her knee.
After the middle-aged woman who had just gotten off the bus screamed and fell to the ground, Xia Libing immediately straddled her, holding a ballpoint pen with the cap removed in his hand, and pressed the pen tip against her eyes, whispering, "If you dare to move, I'll blind you!"
Compared to Xiang Kun, Xia Libing's berserk behavior left Yang Zhen'er and Tang Baona even more dumbfounded.
This is a girl they've watched grow up since she was a child!
The police arrived quickly after receiving the report.
Seeing the two boys, who looked no more than 3 or 4 years old and were fast asleep, being carried out of the back seat of the car in front by the police, they realized who the two men and two women in the car in front were.
They were just a little curious: how did Xiang Kun and Xia Libing figure it out?
Like them, the police were equally curious about this.
Therefore, when they were taken back to the branch office to give their statements, Xiang Kun and Xia Libing were questioned separately.
"Human traffickers?" Xiang Kun stared at the police officer in front of him, his eyes wide with surprise. "I didn't know they were human traffickers! But when my friend tried to call the police to determine responsibility, they desperately tried to stop him and even tried to snatch his phone. They definitely have a problem! And they even hit me. They hit me first, so I fought back..."
