"You did great, even the way you fight is impressive!" Jiang Ning lowered her voice, offering Qi Xingzhou a covert compliment.
As soon as Qi Xingzhou heard Jiang Ning’s praise, the corners of his mouth he couldn’t restrain curled upwards, his entire being radiating with pleasure. If he had had a tail, it surely would have been wagging faster than a fan’s blades at that moment.
The security guard had just approached when he overheard Jiang Ning’s words, causing his hand holding the protective gear to twitch.
No wonder this young fellow was hitting so hard—it was all his girlfriend’s instigation!
He turned on his heel, bypassing the pair, and crouched down to check on Miao Wenjun, who had been thrown to the ground and couldn’t get up: "Hey hey hey? How are you feeling? Are you okay?"
Meanwhile, the onlookers who had been watching the commotion began to gather around, chattering among themselves:
"My God, how did they suddenly start fighting?"
"Dude, why did you suddenly hit someone?"
"Is the guy on the ground seriously hurt? Should we call an ambulance?"
"Forget it, let’s just call the police for now!"
Jiang Ning’s gaze fell on the man taking out his phone with the intention to call the police, and she said, "Hold on, I’ll call the police. Thanks for your concern, but we know our limits, we wouldn’t beat someone to a pulp."
The crowd was taken aback, their eyes turning to Jiang Ning.
Having just stepped in to break up the fight so successfully, and being so close to Qi Xingzhou, anyone with eyes could see that the two were together.
After hearing Jiang Ning’s words, everyone looked a little strange.
In this day and age, who ever heard of a person who had just thrown punches calling the police themselves???
Although everyone had been focused on the fight itself earlier, when their attention shifted to Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou, the onlookers suddenly realized: (⊙o⊙)...
How had they not noticed that one of the involved parties was so good-looking!
Both of them are attractive!
They’re both outstanding, young, and don’t look like the types to cause trouble for no reason!
And they even seemed somewhat familiar?
"You two... you aren’t celebrities, are you?" A girl in the crowd couldn’t help but ask.
As she spoke, she peeked around, searching for any nearby cameras or crew, wondering if the scene they had just witnessed was actually part of a film shoot.
"No," Jiang Ning shook her head with a chuckle, the call already going through on her phone. She lifted the phone to her ear: "Hello? Officer Tang?"
"Jiang Ning?" Officer Tang was slightly surprised to receive a call from Jiang Ning at this time, his tone shifting. "Did that suspect do something again?!"
"No. I’m calling to ask if you’ve found the suspect yet," Jiang Ning replied.
Officer Tang was momentarily embarrassed: "Not yet, so quickly, but we’ve discovered some clues, his identity, and address. Just now, a colleague went to his rental place but didn’t find him. We’re still searching... Don’t worry, we’ll immediately notify you as soon as we have any news."
After Officer Tang finished, Jiang Ning inquired, "What’s his name?"
Although Officer Tang found Jiang Ning’s question a bit odd, he didn’t think much of it. "Miao Wenjun."
Miao Wenjun was lying on the ground, emitting continuous moans of pain.
After the security guard crouched down to show concern, he climbed up and hid behind the guard.
It wasn’t that Miao Wenjun didn’t want to run; it was just that Qi Xingzhou had hit him too hard. Miao Wenjun felt pain all over his body, as if even his internal organs were about to be shattered!
He wanted to run, but he lacked the strength to do so.
Jiang Ning walked up to him, looked down, and asked, "What’s your name?"
Miao Wenjun’s heart trembled, but he clenched his teeth and didn’t answer.
He still had no idea how he suddenly ended up getting beaten.
Moreover, he’d just sneaked a peek at Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou, and he clearly didn’t know these two people!
But, considering the shady things he did on the regular, it wasn’t out of the question that he had offended the other party before but had forgotten about it.
Miao Wenjun felt somewhat guilty.
Seeing his lack of cooperation, Qi Xingzhou frowned slightly and was about to step forward when a woman carrying a red shopping bag walked out from the supermarket. Upon seeing Miao Wenjun sitting on the ground, she paused slightly and then burst out angrily, "Miao Wenjun, what happened to you?!"
"Oh, so your name is Miao Wenjun," Jiang Ning laughed lightly, then said to Officer Tang on the phone, "Officer Tang, you can bring your colleagues over to make an arrest now. We’re right outside the Jiaduofu Supermarket by our community entrance, waiting for you."
Officer Tang, who had been a policeman for many years, almost didn’t require much explanation from Jiang Ning at this point, as he had already vaguely guessed what was going on.
Officer Tang said, "Take care of yourself, I’m on my way with colleagues."
After Jiang Ning hung up his phone, Zhang Xiaohong, who was carrying the supermarket shopping bag, tossed her things aside and hurried over to them in her chunky heels.
Looking at Miao Wenjun’s bruised and swollen face, her expression was very angry, "What happened to you? Who did this to you? This is outrageous! Beating someone up in broad daylight!"
Zhang Xiaohong really felt for her boyfriend; she helped Miao Wenjun up and asked worriedly if he needed to go see a doctor.
Before Miao Wenjun could answer, Jiang Ning blocked their way, "You can’t leave."
Zhang Xiaohong had only had eyes for her boyfriend upon exiting the supermarket and seeing the beaten Miao Wenjun. Only now, upon hearing Jiang Ning’s voice, did she finally direct her gaze at the others.
"Who are you?" Zhang Xiaohong looked at Jiang Ning and raised her voice, "Did you beat up my boyfriend?!"
"No," Jiang Ning shook her head, her demeanor calm, "My friend did."
Qi Xingzhou also timely moved his feet to assert his presence and act as Jiang Ning’s shield.
Zhang Xiaohong found this completely unacceptable!
These days, people were so brazen about beating others up!
"Why did you hit him?!" Zhang Xiaohong fumed.
Her newly found boyfriend had only gone shopping, and in that little time, he was beaten to a pulp!
"Yeah, why did you hit me?" Miao Wenjun also wanted to know what he owed these two people.
"Why did we hit you? Don’t you have any idea?" Jiang Ning, hearing Miao Wenjun’s question, gave him a cold look, "Don’t you know what you did this morning?"
Miao Wenjun’s eyes widened, and he almost blurted out a curse word.
He had done plenty this morning, earning money to buy Zhang Xiaohong a lot of things, and the two had been shopping without stopping until now.
But there was only one thing... he hadn’t done it with Zhang Xiaohong.
Following his employer’s orders, he had killed a cat in anger and then stuffed it in a foam box, leaving it at someone’s doorstep.
Watching the expressionless Jiang Ning, Miao Wenjun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
He had disguised himself beforehand!
Not only had he wrapped himself up tightly, but he had also intentionally made his figure look much larger, so much so that even Zhang Xiaohong might not be able to recognize him.
Let alone the fact that the bike he rode was a second-hand, unregistered one, impossible to trace back to him. How had he been found out so quickly?!
