Chapter 800: Chapter 800: The Confused Thug Chapter 800: Chapter 800: The Confused Thug Lu Yichen knew Luo Qiao was about to make her move, yet others didn’t—a team of officers, thinking it was almost time for Deputy Director Lu to get married, wondered how he could still manage a smile.
Watching the smile on her face, Lu Yichen felt a mix of anger, urgency, and heartache, thinking to himself that he’d definitely give her a good talking to once they were out of danger.
With her smile swiftly disappearing, Luo Qiao reached out decisively to grab the knife-wielding wrist and arm of the assailant, throwing him over her shoulder in a swift move. Lu Yichen fiercely yelled out, “Action.”
Officers quickly stepped forward, taking the assailant from Luo Qiao’s hands—the criminal still dazed, wondering how he had been caught so suddenly.
Luo Qiao’s performance stunned everyone at the scene. They hadn’t expected such a delicate-looking girl to be so skilled, and they looked at Luo Qiao with fervent admiration.
Lu Yichen, regardless of the many colleagues around him, hugged her tightly and whispered in Luo Qiao’s ear, “Are you trying to get me killed?”
Luo Qiao chuckled in his embrace, “Then you are too fragile.”
Lu Yichen, hearing her laugh despite the terror, scooped her up in a mix of anger and relief and found a quiet, secluded spot to kiss her, as if only this could calm his restless heart.
If not for the inappropriate circumstances, he might not have let off the mischievous girl who frightened him so easily.
Releasing her he looked intently at Luo Qiao, “Don’t ever be so reckless again. Once is enough to endure such torment.”
Holding her close again, “Promise me, no more dangerous antics. I just want you safe and happy.”
Luo Qiao nodded lightly in his arms, “Okay, no more danger, I won’t scare you again.”
Luo Qiao knew he was still busy, “Let’s go, don’t keep your colleagues waiting.”
Lu Yichen nodded, but as he was about to leave, he pulled Luo Qiao behind him protectively. She quickly glanced in the direction he was looking and immediately sensed trouble.
Lu Yichen quickly led Luo Qiao away from the danger zone, “Be good, find your classmates, and keep yourself safe.”
Watching Luo Qiao run towards her classmates, he hurried towards the officers at the scene.
When Luo Qiao returned, her classmates looked at her with admiration—the fourth-year student she had saved was somewhat excitedly repeating her thanks.
Approaching the senior, Luo Qiao said, “No need to thank me, senior. I’ve learned some martial arts before, so I was just braver than others.”
The team leader from the school approached, “Luo Qiao, well done. Honestly, your teacher was worried to death. You did great, and I thank you.”
This was a heartfelt sentiment from the team leader; had any students gotten hurt today, he would have felt responsible. He was genuinely grateful for Luo Qiao and had indeed been very concerned for her safety.
A classmate spoke up, “Luo Qiao, we take pride in having such a brave classmate. You are an example for us to follow.”
“Yes, Luo Qiao, you make us guys feel ashamed. We are proud of you.”
Luo Qiao, worried that her classmates might say something frightening again, quickly changed the topic, “Please, everyone, be quiet. The situation is still unclear, and we need to remain highly vigilant.”
With her words, rationality returned, and everyone quieted down.
Luo Qiao turned and looked towards Lu Yichen in the distance, mesmerized by the sight of him commanding the officers methodically with cool and calm composure.
At that moment, the bomb disposal experts arrived at the previously concealed area. If it weren’t for their earlier investigation, the problem might not have been detected, potentially leading to a third explosion.
All personnel at the scene were evacuated, and the school’s team leader organized the students to retreat to a designated area to stand by.
Half an hour later, the good news arrived: the danger had been eliminated.
They received the order to start boarding the vehicles, ready to return to school.
At this moment, Lu Yichen could not focus on Luo Qiao, but he glanced over at her from afar. Luo Qiao stood atop the truck, waving at Lu Yichen.
The school granted them a day off to rest and recuperate.
Since Luo Qiao didn’t reside at the school, she left the campus as soon as she got back.
