"I’ll go. I’ll go see what on earth my brother is doing, taking so long." Cheng Beilin wanted Su Qing to rest in the compartnt while she went to find Cheng Beize.
"Let go. You stay in the compartnt. Since you’re by yourself, rember to lock the door from the inside. Don’t open it for anyone, no matter who it is," Su Qing instructed.
"Huh? Is that really necessary? There’s hardly anyone in the sleeper car." Cheng Beilin didn’t think it was needed.
"Just do as I say," Su Qing told Cheng Beilin.
Seeing how serious Su Qing was, Cheng Beilin involuntarily nodded. "Oh, okay then."
Su Qing left the compartnt. After making sure Cheng Beilin had bolted the door from the inside, she moved quickly toward the dining car.
As she reached the compartnt closest to the dining car, the door suddenly opened. A middle-aged woman poked her head out and whispered to Su Qing, "Young lady, it sounds like soone’s been taken hostage in the dining car. Don’t go over there."
The middle-aged woman’s compartnt was the closest to the dining car, so she had heard the commotion with perfect clarity and was naturally frightened.
Su Qing hadn’t expected anyone to warn her, so she smiled at the middle-aged woman. "Okay, thank you."
After saying that, Su Qing continued on toward the dining car.
"Hey!" Seeing Su Qing ignore her advice and keep walking toward the dining car, the middle-aged woman reached out, wanting to pull her back. ’It would be such a sha if a pretty young girl like her got hurt by that hijacker.’
A man in the compartnt quickly pulled the woman back in. "What are you doing? You’re such a busybody. Hurry up and shut the door! What if that hijacker cos over here?"
The middle-aged woman had no choice but to shut and bolt the compartnt door, feeling quite worried about Su Qing.
Su Qing lightened her steps and slipped quietly into the dining car. She saw Cheng Beize with a knife pressed to his neck, his back against a serving cart, in a standoff with several other n.
When she saw the man holding Cheng Beize hostage, Su Qing’s pupils contracted. ’Zhang Da Kui!’
It was actually Zhang Da Kui!
In the earlier case of the woman’s body at the Pond, there were five culprits. The one who got away was Zhang Da Kui. After all this ti, Su Qing had assud the police had either caught him already or that he was hiding out sowhere. She never would have thought that Zhang Da Kui would be on the sa train with them today—and that he would have kidnapped Cheng Beize!
"Hurry it up, ti’s up! Have you decided or not?" Zhang Da Kui roared at the n opposite him. His eyes were bloodshot; he was clearly growing desperate.
"Don’t get agitated. We’ve co to a decision," the man leading the group opposite him said quickly. "When we get to the next station, we’ll let you get off. But you have to promise not to harm the hostage. Can you agree to that?"
At this point, the safety of the civilian was the top priority. These n were from the municipal police departnt, and they had pursued Zhang Da Kui onto this train. They had originally planned to arrest him covertly, but who knew that Zhang Da Kui would be so cunning? He had not only discovered them but had also fled to the dining car and taken a hostage.
Capturing Zhang Da Kui was important, of course, but the life of an ordinary citizen was more so.
Hearing the officer’s words, Zhang Da Kui sneered and said, "Well, of course."
Zhang Da Kui narrowed his eyes and scoffed inwardly. ’As if I’d let this guy in my hands go once I’m free. Let him go so he can tell these police officers where I went?’
’Not a chance in hell.’
’In this world, only one type of person can truly keep a secret—soone who can no longer speak!’
Zhang Da Kui was busy with his little sche and didn’t notice Su Qing watching him from the side.
Seeing that Cheng Beize’s arm was still bleeding, Su Qing’s eyes narrowed slightly. She casually retrieved a stone from her dinsional space. These were stones she kept in her space for hunting wild rabbits and pheasants for fun. While it was more convenient to bind small animals by controlling plants, Su Qing sotis enjoyed practicing her aim.
"AAAH—"
No one expected it. Zhang Da Kui, who had been holding Cheng Beize hostage, suddenly cried out in pain. His right hand, which was holding the dagger, abruptly went limp and dropped, the weapon clattering to the floor.
"Son of a bitch! You’re playing dirty!" Zhang Da Kui roared.
The mont Cheng Beize saw the dagger at his throat fall, he knew it was his chance and imdiately moved to dodge to the side.
Zhang Da Kui knew that without his dagger, Cheng Beize was bound to run. ’I can’t let that happen! Without this hostage, I’m no match for these police officers!’ With a vicious look, Zhang Da Kui chopped at Cheng Beize’s neck with his left hand. ’Even if I have to knock him unconscious, I can’t let him escape my control!’
Seeing Zhang Da Kui about to strike the hostage, the police officers scrambled to rush forward and save Cheng Beize.
But unexpectedly, a girl shot out from the side and sent a kick straight at Zhang Da Kui.
CRASH!
It wasn’t just the officers; even the other passengers hiding in various corners were stunned.
The girl who had suddenly appeared sent the hijacker flying with a single kick, slamming him viciously against the train window.
Then, with a series of CRACKS, everyone saw the hijacker’s head hit the glass hard. The pane fractured, and the hijacker collapsed limply to the ground.
"Are you okay?" Su Qing pulled Cheng Beize to her side. Seeing his arm, she discreetly sent a few wisps of green mist toward the wound.
"Ah, I’m fine." The wound had been excruciatingly painful, but for so reason, Cheng Beize felt like he had recovered a bit, and the pain seed to have eased. "It’s just a small injury. It’s nothing."
"We’ll put so dicine on it as soon as we get back. I have so with ," Su Qing said.
"Okay, thanks." Cheng Beize knew this wasn’t the ti to be difficult, so he thanked her.
By this ti, the police officers had arrested the unconscious Zhang Da Kui. The leader walked over and said to Su Qing with a smile, "Young lady, thank you so much for what you did just now."
"It’s nothing. My friend is injured, and I have to take him back to treat his wound, so I won’t stay to chat," Su Qing said to the lead officer.
Nearby, the dining car staff were cleaning up the floor.
The food he had bought had all fallen to the floor when he was taken hostage. Clutching his arm, Cheng Beize said, "I’m sorry for the trouble. Thank you for cleaning this up."
"Oh, it’s no trouble, no trouble at all," the staff mber said quickly.
Before the staff mber could finish, the lead officer spoke up. "You were caught up in this because of us. I’ll buy so food and have it sent over to you."
The lead officer smiled as he looked at Su Qing, feeling a thrill of excitent. ’This girl has incredible aim and skills! She’s perfect material for the police force!’
