"Daring to point a gun at me, you must have a death wish."
"You guys are done for. Once I get out, I’m going to visit your chief and get you all kicked out of the police station."
Ji Tian and Meng Hao fearlessly barged forward step by step, while the detectives held onto their guns and retreated step by step like ants on a hot pan, extremely anxious. They had orders from above they must follow, yet dared not take any excessive action against the two.
Shoot? What a joke. Even if they had a hundred thousand guts, they wouldn’t dare.
The two were not pushovers. If begging could make the two leave and spare them, they would be willing to kneel and plead.
"Which blind fool dares to act so rampant in front of me?" Zhang Lu stormed out aggressively, exuding a fiery aura.
"Captain..." The detectives sighed in relief and silently cheered, each one showing a glimmer of joy. They placed all their hopes on the captain, willingly clearing a path, looking at Zhang Lu with gratitude.
"It’s her? That Tyrannosaurus!" Ji Tian’s heart trembled, revealing a look of trepidation in his eyes.
He recalled his childhood, it was this woman right in front of him, who left an indelible shadow on his childhood with her fists.
Some images surfaced in Ji Tian’s mind, of Zhang Lu using her fists and feet to punish others under the guise of fighting evil and promoting good, causing them no shortage of tears and cries.
"Rumor has it she joined a secret unit, how could she be here?" Ji Tian was internally anxious, extremely uneasy.
Ji Tian could not help but take a step back, all his previous arrogance vanished.
Although Meng Hao didn’t know Zhang Lu, from Ji Tian’s expression and reaction, he keenly sensed that in Ji Tian’s circle, this beautiful woman in front of him likely held a very high status and was definitely someone not to be provoked.
"A wise man knows when to back down. There will be plenty of opportunities to pursue Chu Mengyao. He mustn’t act foolishly; if anything goes wrong, he’ll leave immediately, cannot linger here." Meng Hao quickly pondered and was already prepared to make a run for it.
Ji Tian forced himself to appear calm, suppressing the shadows of his childhood, and shouted weakly at Zhang Lu, "Zhang Lu, what are you doing here? These people listen to you, right? Tell them to move aside, I need to find someone."
"Find someone? Who?" Zhang Lu frowned.
Seeing Zhang Lu frown, Ji Tian’s heart shuddered, and he shouted loudly, "I want to find Chu Mengyao, she’s the woman I’ve set my eyes on. You’d better stay out of my business, you don’t have any place to meddle. We’re in separate waters, don’t stop me."
"You’re not my son, why should I care about you? You think Chu Mengyao would fancy a scum like you? I’ve heard a bit about your bad reputation, scram, try not to show up in front of me, or else I’ll beat you so bad your parents won’t recognize you."
Zhang Lu waved her hand dismissively, very disgustedly driving him away.
"Zhang Lu, if you have the guts, try touching a hair on me, I’m not afraid of you." Ji Tian also got angry, his life was all about face, and he couldn’t swallow the insult Zhang Lu hurled at him.
"Not hitting you, it’s only because I fear dirtying my hands."
"If you don’t scram now, I don’t mind putting a hole in you."
"You are truly stupid, is your head filled with porridge?"
"Didn’t you see the heavy guard all around, with the air thick with gunpowder? Dare to barge in at this time, I see you’re utterly foolish."
"Let me tell you straight, there was just an assassination attempt, it’s a matter of national security. I’ll give you three seconds if you don’t get lost, I’ll shoot you on the spot for colluding with the enemy and assisting the assassin in escaping."
"Wanna live or die? It’s up to you."
"I’d actually love it if you tested me, and let me show you if I dare to pull the trigger. You probably haven’t seen a scene where the head explodes with brains and blood pouring out. I’m especially eager for you to see the world."
Zhang Lu held the gun, pointing it at Ji Tian’s head.
"You lunatic, I’m not done with you. Just wait and see." Ji Tian left a fierce remark and ran away quickly.
He knew very well Zhang Lu would really dare to shoot; she had done it when they were young.
How could he dare linger any longer? If a gunshot rang out, he’d definitely get fed a bullet; he didn’t want to die.
Meanwhile, he also sensed something unusual. Although he was pampered, he wasn’t stupid. He had good intuition. He didn’t doubt Zhang Lu’s words one bit. The suspicious attitude of those detectives was also a big red flag. How could they possibly block him under normal circumstances? Besides executing a special task, he couldn’t think of another possibility.
Never mind three seconds, Ji Tian fled at life-saving speed in less than a second.
Meng Hao felt a buzzing in his head, staring in astonishment as Ji Tian fled. In shock, he stood there not knowing what to do, muttering to himself repeatedly, "Is this still the Ji Tian I know? Wasn’t he always arrogant and fearless? How could he be so scared now?"
"And you, what do you want?" Zhang Lu eyed him maliciously, pointing the gun at Meng Hao.
Meng Hao shivered all over, ran away quickly in fear.
"Coward." Zhang Lu spat, turned around, and walked into the clubhouse.
The detectives were amazed, "The Captain was so impressive? So domineering?"
"But that’s Ji Tian and Meng Hao, both with special status, yet in front of the Captain, they were like mice at the sight of a cat."
"Captain, what’s her real identity?"
The detectives, looking at Zhang Lu’s departing heroic figure, were wide-eyed and slack-jawed.
From afar, Ji Tian wiped cold sweat while staring at Zhang Lu’s departing figure.
Likewise, Meng Hao, with lingering fear, watched. He originally planned to question Ji Tian about what role Zhang Lu played, but realizing his not-so-good relationship with Ji Tian, he gave up the thought.
"Tyrannosaurus, I curse you to never find a man, better yet become a nun." Ji Tian cursed with trembling lips.
Some were even quite scared, dodging at first sight.
Meanwhile, Ji Tian sent a message to his circle of friends: Tyrannosaurus is here, everyone be cautious, don’t fall into her hands.
"Tyrannosaurus in Dongfang City."
"Lately, my luck’s been bad, I’m staying home for at least ten days to two weeks. Don’t invite me to any events."
"I’m visiting relatives at grandma’s, don’t call me for any activities."
The playboys in the circle all quickly found excuses, even skipping events, fearful of running into Zhang Lu by bad luck, only seeking to avoid danger and stay safe.
