Chapter 1210: I Want to Make You Stay (88)

“Ah!” Fang Erlan shrieked the moment she was stabbed in the waist by the man, who was dressed in a black hoodie and had a surgical mask on his face. Xiao Yue screamed while Fang Erlan extended her leg toward the man in a bid to kick him. However, she missed. Just as the man was about to get inside the car, Xiao Yue grabbed the umbrella and stabbed the tip of it into the man’s eye. At the same time, the chauffeur alighted as well.

The man covered his eyes in pain and extended his knife toward Fang Erlan again. However, this time, he was dragged out of the car forcefully by another man.

He was flung onto the ground, and all of his teeth fell off. He stared at Xiao Chenyang in horror, blood flowing out of his mouth continuously.

Staring at the chauffeur, who was consumed by terror, Xiao Chenyang instructed, “Call the police immediately.”

“Yes.” The chauffeur returned inside the nanny van and grabbed his mobile phone. By the time he came out again, Xiao Chenyang was no longer around, and neither was Fang Erlan. Xiao Yue was left seated on the backseat, dumbfounded and paralyzed by fear.

When she recovered from the shock, she immediately alighted from the van with the umbrella.

The police arrived shortly after and arrested the assaulter. They also recorded the statements of Xiao Yue and the chauffeur and requested for the surveillance camera footages before leaving.

By the time the two arrived at the hospital, Fang Erlan had already been admitted to the VIP hospital ward after undergoing an operation. However, she was still unconscious and had yet to come to.

When they entered, Xiao Chenyang remained seated and did not even look up at them.

“Cousin… what… did the doctor say?”

“We sent her here in time and her life is out of danger.”

“Terrific. I was scared out of my wits.”

Xiao Yue patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief while tearing up incessantly. She had never encountered such a horrifying incident before.

She was frightened.

The thought of it sent shivers down her spine.

“You two stay here and look after her while I make a trip to the police station. I’ll be back in half an hour.”

“Okay.”

As soon as he exited, Xiao Yue hurriedly locked the door from the inside. Since it was a VIP ward, there were security officers on duty outside the ward.

Xiao Chenyang called An Xiaoning and briefly explained the situation to her. He then requested, “That fellow has been arrested and is now in the police station. Call the police and inform them that I’m taking him away with me.”

“Okay. Is Erlan alright?”

“She’s alright. By the way, get Mei Yangyang to call the production team and communicate with them about this problem. Tell them to resume filming Erlan’s scenes after she’s recovered.”

“Leave that to me. Don’t worry. Go to the police station now, I’ll call them.”

“Yes.”

Less than a few minutes after An Xiaoning made the call, Xiao Chenyang arrived in the Criminal Police Unit of the police station in B City.

He drove to the police station in his own car, so as to make things easier.

When Xiao Chenyang beat the assaulter up, he held his strength back a little, causing the man to be unconscious but not dead.

Upon seeing him, the chief of the unit, Liu Chong, greeted politely, “You’re here. You may take him with you anytime you’d like.”

“Have you guys obtained the footages from the surveillance cameras around the vicinity of the crime scene?”

“Rest assured, Mr. Xiao, we only kept the footages of the perpetrator carrying out his assault and deleted the rest of the parts after you showed up.”

“Do you have the detailed information and profiles of the man and his family?”

“Yes.” Liu Chong grabbed a document from the other officers and handed it to him, “There you go.”

Xiao Chenyang grabbed it and began perusing the content.

“Mr. Xiao, this man is a gangster. He’s an ex-convict who had been imprisoned twice for theft.”

“Okay, bring him here.”

“Yes.”

The man was dragged out shortly after. His eyes were wide open, and he was clenching his jaw with pain and agony written all over his face.

At the sight of Xiao Chenyang, he frantically tried to struggle and retreat, to no avail. He was akin to meat waiting to be butchered and had long lost the energy to break free.

The police officers tied his limbs together and chucked him inside the trunk of Xiao Chenyang’s car.

Xiao Chenyang began driving away and soon vanished out of sight. The handful of police officers were still dumbfounded.

“Chief, why is he able to fly?” one of the police officers, Ding Liu, asked, unable to contain his curiosity.

“Beats me. Stop asking so many questions. Forget everything you saw tonight and keep them to yourselves, alright? One look and you can tell that he’s not to be trifled with,” Liu Chong warned.

“Got it.”

….

The white Aston Martin zoomed along the streets in the pouring rain. Xiao Chenyang never once slowed down.

Likewise, his heart had been beating rapidly and was filled with anxiety ever since he heard her shriek.

His veins were throbbing, and anger was surging through him. He wished he could shred the man inside the trunk into a million pieces.

When he drove past a twenty-floor apartment building, the brightly-lit street lamps and surveillance cameras ceased to function almost instantly.

He alighted from the car with his umbrella and opened the trunk unhurriedly before releasing the man from the ropes. He then grabbed the man and propelled himself upwards into the sky, all the way onto the rooftop of the apartment building.

Before the man could even scream in terror, they had already landed on the ground. Xiao Chenyang dragged him to the edge of the roof and glowered at him menacingly. “Who put you to it?”

Staring at Xiao Chenyang, the man answered, “No one did, I wanted to do it out of my own accord.”

“What’s your reason?”

“…”

“I’m asking you a question!”

“I… just… wanted to kill. No reason.”

Bullshit. Why would he specifically attack Erlan?

It was a filming location, not the streets.

“Your father and grandmother are at home, aren’t they? Why don’t I take you to see them now?” Xiao Chenyang questioned.

Despite sensing a threat, the man continued to remain calm and composed. However, he could not quite keep up with his pretense well.

He knew that Xiao Chenyang did not believe his words at all.

“Will you let me off if I tell you?”

“No, but I won’t harm the innocent,” said Xiao Chenyang, who emphasized on the word “innocent.”

The man glanced at him, unable to see his features clearly in the pitch darkness. However, he could greatly sense that Xiao Chenyang was definitely not an ordinary man. How could an ordinary human fly…

Knowing that there was no escape for him and not wishing to implicate his innocent family, he drawled, “It was a woman who put me to it. She gave me one million dollars upfront and told me that she would be paying me another million after the task was completed. She’ll pay my family even if I get arrested, so long as I don’t spill the beans about her.”

“Who’s that woman?” Xiao Chenyang asked. The first person who came to his mind was Yu Caiwei. However, he then thought that Yu Caiwei probably wouldn’t be that foolish since murder would warrant a death sentence.

“I only know that that woman’s name is Fang Ruzhen. That’s all. I do have a voice recording of what she said, though.”
