Chapter 111: A Heroic Act

Qiao Yunhu was fearless. He instructed Ye Xiaoxiao and Tang Xiuxiu to stay inside the post office while he walked out alone.

Since Qiao Yunhu wasn’t the target and the inside of the post office wasn’t visible from outside, the two thugs were completely unaware.

Even when Qiao Yunhu passed by them, they just stepped aside to give him room.

They continued to keep a close watch on the post office entrance.

“Is the job our boss set up for us legit?”

“Cut the chatter. Once we take care of these two today, there’s just one girl left, and then we’ll get a hefty payday.”

While the two were whispering, Qiao Yunhu made his move, taking down the nearest guy.

Tang Xiuxiu watched from inside the post office: “Your friend’s got some moves.”

After taking down the first guy, Qiao Yunhu landed a punch on the other guy’s face.

Then, he quickly spun around and slammed the second guy to the ground.

He hit them so hard that after being knocked down, the two sneaky thugs were doubled over in pain, unable to stand.

Tang Xiuxiu had already dialed the police from inside.

Seeing the thugs fall, Ye Xiaoxiao quickly ran over and inserted long needles into their pressure points.

“Ah! It hurts…”

“Ah!!”

The two rolled on the ground, unable to move their limbs, writhing in agony.

Qiao Yunhu looked at Ye Xiaoxiao: “You’ve got some skills too.”

While torture isn’t right, there’s no reason to go easy on these scumbags.

“After all, I’m a traditional Chinese medicine student.”

Ye Xiaoxiao leaned down and demanded, “Who sent you to attack us?”

The two were in so much pain they could barely speak.

Ye Xiaoxiao continued, “Hurts, doesn’t it? Although this pain isn’t fatal, it will keep tormenting you. Just tell me who sent you, and I’ll release you immediately.”

“It’s… Jia… Guo… Qiang.”

Finally, one of them told the truth.

Ye Xiaoxiao nodded and pulled out the needles.

The two thugs were soaked in sweat, collapsed on the ground.

They were completely still, as if dead.

Qiao Yunhu asked, “Are they okay?”

Ye Xiaoxiao replied, “They’re just exhausted, but they can still hear us.”

Qiao Yunhu threatened from nearby, "When you see the cops later, you better spill everything you know. Even if you come clean, you’ll just do a few days in the slammer. But if you dare to hide anything, I'll make sure you can't stay in Beijing."

Qiao Yunhu's voice was fierce, and the two thugs felt a chilling breeze around them, making them shiver.

"So much for being an ordinary college student; this time we've really hit a snag."

The cops arrived quickly and rounded everyone up.

While apprehending the perps, the cops were a bit confused.

"The 911 call we received just now said someone was committing violence in the street."

Tang Xiuxiu nodded, "Yes, I was the one who called. The perps are these two on the ground. We suspect they are the same group who hurt our roommate yesterday. Officer, could you have our roommate come over?"

Ye Xiaoxiao added, "They just identified someone, Jia Guoqiang. The guy who had beef with our dorm before was Jia Shengnan. I’m guessing they’re related."

The cop looked at the calm and unscathed caller, then at the busted-up suspects.

"..."

Ye Xiaoxiao said, "Officer, if it hadn’t been for our buddy, we two girls would definitely be in danger."

The cop, skeptical, hauled them off.

When they returned to the police station, they found out that the case had already been filed.

That made things a lot easier for the investigation.

The investigation began with Jia Guoqiang, revealing that he and Jia Shengnan were indeed relatives.

However, when the police arrived to arrest him, Jia Guoqiang had already left Beijing.

It dawned on the two thugs that Jia Guoqiang had known about the police investigation all along and had fled first, leaving them behind to take the fall.

"Officer, we were just minor players; the real mastermind isn’t us."

"Plus, Jia Guoqiang claimed he was just supporting his sister and had us scare some students. Even if today... if that guy hadn’t intervened, we wouldn’t have resorted to violence."

At the station, the two thugs talked their way out of trouble.

Meanwhile, the victims from yesterday, He Jing, Xia Li, and Wang Jiao, had also arrived at the police station.

Li Meiru, who had conflicts with Jia Shengnan, also joined them.

When they spotted the thugs, they instantly recognized one as the person who had appeared yesterday.

Xia Li: "I recognize him; he’s got a tattoo on his arm that showed when he was hitting people yesterday."

As for the other one, since the group was masked yesterday, they were not sure.

That was enough evidence.

These two thugs were definitely going to spend a few days in jail.

As for Jia Shengnan, although her cousin had fled, she couldn’t escape.

The police had been keeping an eye on her, and once the investigation wrapped up, they hauled her in.

Even after being brought to the police station, Jia Shengnan still refused to confess.

The police temporarily held her in the interrogation room, and officers took turns questioning her in several shifts.

With this relentless interrogation, it wouldn't be long before Jia Shengnan revealed everything she knew.

Fang Kaixuan's mother rushed to the police station.

"I want to see the person who harmed my son. How can someone so young be so cruel? The doctor said that if the knife had been just a little off, it would have stabbed his stomach."

"Officer, you must make sure the perpetrator is severely punished."

Fang's mother was emotional, and the police naturally couldn't let her see Jia Shengnan.

The officers then escorted her to the waiting room.

There, she bumped into Ye Xiaoxiao and the others.

Ye Xiaoxiao and her friends had already given their statements and were free to leave.

Even Qiao Yunhu, who was praised for his bravery, was lectured by the officers and then allowed to leave.

As soon as Fang's mother entered, her earlier intense emotions vanished.

Fang Kaixuan wasn't seriously injured, but she exaggerated the severity to make sure the police took it seriously.

When she saw Wang Jiao, her face darkened again.

This must be the girl her son was fond of; he kept speaking well of her while in the hospital.

But she thought her son should focus on his studies, and forget about dating. This girl clearly wasn't the well-behaved type, and she didn't approve.

Wang Jiao, who was spoiled at home, didn't bother trying to please her.

The atmosphere was awkward.

Ye Xiaoxiao didn't want to stick around any longer and said to Qiao Yunhu, "Thanks to you today. I hope we didn't hold you up from anything important."

Qiao Yunhu shook his head, "Just a call home. I can make it anytime; it's not urgent."

"To thank you, how about I buy you a meal?"

"Let's pass today. I think you still have other things to take care of, but you owe me a meal."

"Alright then."

Qiao Yunhu left first.

Fang's mother wanted to talk to Wang Jiao in private, so the others from Room 206 left as well.

Ye Xiaoxiao said, "Let's go grab a bite outside, my treat."
