Chapter 05

The words of reprimand were swallowed back, and He Xichong, having suffered a silent grievance, impulsively wanted to teach a lesson to the inexplicable person before her. However, she overlooked one point: the other party was a well-trained special police officer, whose skills should not be underestimated. Especially when the opponent realized that she was also trained, their wariness increased, and they struck without any mercy. The fact that they did not directly use their gun on her was probably because they looked down on her as a young girl.

He Xi defended himself: "Is it my fault? You said you didn't know him. If I don't beat him up, how can I justify it to him?"

"Heartless, we haven't even gotten upset yet, and you are already causing a scene." Yan Dai raised her hand to hit her, reminding her, "I wonder who it is that is dragging a bloodied injured leg..."

On this night, some people tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and got up in the middle of the night to drink alone on the balcony for a long time. Meanwhile, there were others whose eyes were closed, yet their hearts were wide awake

He Xi immediately turned hostile and commanded his dog: "Bite him!"

Miao Miao looked behind He Xi and asked, "Where is Xiao Yi? Did he not come to pick you up?"

Clearly frightened, it is also possible that the man's actions were too rough and caused her pain, as Yan Dai's cries were mixed with sobs. Upon seeing this, He Xi rushed over without caring about anything else and shouted, "What are you doing? Let her go!" Ignoring her, He Xi charged forward and kicked at the man's hand to stop him from handcuffing her.

Our eyes met, and I took a deep breath: "Come with me, let us have a talk"

"If you had that memory, I could write the character 'Yan' backwards." With a finger poking the black monkey's forehead, Yan Dai could not remember for the umpteenth time and asked: "You say Xiao Hei is clearly a dog, so why do you insist on calling him a monkey?"

That is essential

Yan Dai was startled by the sudden sound, and her mind went blank. When she looked up and saw a figure dressed entirely in black standing not far away, pointing a gun at her, her reason instantly transformed into a scream, and she turned to run.

The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time burst forth, and Li Xing hurriedly quickened his pace to catch up. Just then, a familiar voice from behind stopped him. Political Commissar Ning Anlei asked, "Where are you going, Li Xing? The team leader is looking for you. You didn't answer the phone, did you forget it?"

He Xi looked at her innocently and said, "Do you think he is a black monkey, with a chain around his neck, that I can take him wherever I go?"

Unconsciously raising her voice, she retorted: "It is not interference, it is retention! Don't you understand?"

He Xi did not want to be handcuffed. She resisted and struggled, turning her head to glare at the person: "I tell you, you have the wrong person, don't waste time letting someone escape." Although she had only been temporarily assigned to the special police force for a mission, He Xi was well aware of the importance of seizing the moment when it came to apprehending someone, fearing that the target might escape.

There was a fire burning in Li Xing's eyes, yet he still stood his ground. Yan Dai was so frightened that she let out a scream and crouched down, holding her head.

He Xi, however, could not remain calm; she struggled to refuse: "There is no need, there is nothing to discuss between us"

Having had enough of the commotion, Yan Dai advised, "Are your injuries truly healed? You must not push yourself too hard; martial arts competitions are not to be taken lightly. A moment's carelessness could lead to serious injuries."

He Xi was louder than him: "I don't need to understand!"

With unwavering strength, he squinted his eyes and said, "You want to make a move again, do you? If you keep pulling at that wound, I wonder what you'll use to compete next week!"

Maintaining the grip on He Xi's wrist, he spoke in a tone that seemed to suggest a discussion but was, in fact, a command: "Sister-in-law, you should go back first"

The music from the slow dance bar could not drown out the sound of the explosion, and He Xi was immediately awakened. She determined that the sound came from the private room upstairs and instinctively exclaimed, "Not good..." Without even hanging up the phone, she rushed outside. To her surprise, as soon as she reached the corridor, she saw a fully armed man twisting Yan Dai's arm, attempting to handcuff her.

Get lost, you have mistaken the person! Yan Dai hit her

He Xi! Not certain to what extent her leg injury has healed, Li Xing does not dare to confront her head-on, and will appropriately let go.

Suddenly, a black monkey rushed out from nowhere, and in its eagerness to protect its owner, it lunged towards the armed special police officer.

"Go away." Yan Dai said with slight annoyance, "Striving desperately may seem quite glorious, but it's pitiful that Xiao Yi has been worried sick following you."

During this period, I have done nothing but fight! He Xi thought to himself, already entangled in a struggle with the opponent. In the standoff, he noticed the black combat uniform worn by the other party, with an armband boldly stating "A City Special Police." Are they on a mission together? Realizing this, He Xi quickly called for a halt: "Stop, stop, we are all family!"

He Xi blurted out: "You have no right to interfere with my freedom"

The special police officer's skills are remarkably swift, and the actions of locking the throat and disarming are exceptionally precise. He immediately reached out to press down on He Xi's neck, twisting her arm to prepare for handcuffing.

"Why so much nonsense?" The irritated special police officer did not believe it and instead increased his strength. However, his actions could not proceed smoothly as he was suddenly thrown off balance by an unexpected force, the intensity nearly causing He Xi to fall over

He Xi pretended to scribble on the beer bottle, while Yan Dai, smiling, touched the head of the black monkey and said: "Stop showing off, come over and drink, we've been waiting for you for half a day"

The emotion of anger unconsciously revealed itself, startling the bewildered Muko. She believed that Lixing would not harm He Xi, and out of consideration, she did not dare to interrupt the two, trying to minimize her presence and quietly observe from the side. However, Lixing did not give her the opportunity.

"He is not bold; he believes in my abilities!" He Xi pinched Yan Dai's cheek and said, "Unlike you, who cannot distinguish between inside and outside. As a family member of a police officer, you should not undermine my authority. Have you forgotten how I stood up to those little rascals for you?"

He Xi is not someone who easily gives in, especially not in front of Mu Ke. After failing to break free, she gazed directly into Li Xing's eyes and resolutely demanded: "Let go!"

However, He Xi did not heed his feelings; she struggled like a small beast, "What is wrong with moving? I am just afraid that Chief of Staff Li will not let me go!"

However, the other party did not recognize her, and seeing that He Xi was quite skilled, they would not stop in the absence of a way to assess the truth of her words. While attempting to subdue her through offense, they spoke into the earpiece: "Target identified, proceeding with capture"

Without waiting for He Xi to speak, the special police had already half-knelt in front of them, aiming their guns at them, "Stand against the wall, and I will shoot if you move!"

Is everything alright?" Accompanied by a voice as cold as the water of a deep pool, He Xi was pulled to the side by Li Xing

He Xi was so preoccupied with talking to the black monkey when she left that she did not notice an SUV driving towards her apartment. When she got into the taxi, the driver suddenly turned the steering wheel, and the vehicle made a sharp turn in the middle of the street, following closely behind.

A dull gunshot rang out with a bang, the bullet grazed Li Xing's arm and shot away

Upon seeing the black monkey, Yan Dai's eyes lit up, "Oh, look who it is." As she spoke, she squatted down and generously gave the black monkey a hug

The bartender saw He Xi and greeted, "Hello, Madam Boss!" He then exaggeratedly bowed and friendly said to the black monkey, "Hi!"

Never irrelevant? ! She actually told him never irrelevant. Such a distant phrase, such a piercing gaze, easily struck the deep pain within. Suddenly, he lost his mind

In the following days, He Xi returned to the political office after taking leave. Mu Yan called to inform her that the matter regarding her transfer was basically settled, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, she would soon report to her new position, urging her to prepare herself mentally. At this time, her good friend Yan Dai also returned from a business trip in City C, and the two agreed to meet in the evening at their usual place

At this moment, Yan Dai had completely regained her senses. Seeing the fully armed man attempting to strike He Xi on the back of the head with the butt of his gun, she took off her high heels and rushed forward. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed her approaching and, fearing that she would only complicate matters further, He Xi shouted, "Stand aside!" In that moment of distraction, she was unexpectedly hit on the leg by the gun butt, and immediately knelt down on the ground.

Li Xing instinctively shielded He Xi behind him, but this small action had already provoked the special police, who immediately fired a shot at the ground in front of him, saying: "I told you not to move! This is loaded!"

Seeing that she showed signs of anger, Li Xing attempted to ease the situation: "You can let go, but can you not leave?"

In Qing Tong's eyes, flames ignited in an instant, and He Xi screamed: "No!"

That was just an accident, don't make it sound like I have to sacrifice myself for a mission. I am a police officer; if a police officer doesn't solve cases, then I am just eating the people's rice for nothing! Don't interrupt me, let me finish my thoughts. I didn't attend the police academy for fun; I considered all aspects of the consequences before applying. I know what you are all worried about, but being a criminal investigator doesn't necessarily mean there is a life-threatening risk. Besides, with my exceptional skills, criminals can only cry when they encounter me; who could possibly harm an ordinary person like me?" He Xi smiled with a proud curve of his eyes, looking innocently mischievous, making it hard for others to express their frustration.

The black monkey received the order, snorted as it stood up and stared at the bartender with a fierce expression that seemed to say, "If you say another word, I will eat you."

Both women could not help but laugh

Without waiting for Yan Dai to speak, the bartender reported: "The boss said he would be back by ten at the latest. If the boss's wife arrives first, she should find some entertainment for herself."

Out of牧可's sight, 贺熹's emotions were instantly switched to an untouchable channel, fiercely staring at 厉行, she questioned: "Are you going to let go or not?"

Yan Dai wished she could bite her, "I can't be bothered with you, let Xiao Yi continue to worry about it, after all, he is bold and used to it."

He Xi pouted: "You two are just like the neighborhood committee aunties, nagging every day, it's quite bothersome"

Indicate for the black monkey to go to the bar to avoid scaring other guests, He Xi corrected: "It's not a dog, it's a hound, thank you!"

"Listen, Li Xing, my brother knows nothing; his opinions do not represent mine." Her dark, bright eyes shimmered with a crystalline light, yet she stubbornly refused to let the tears fall. He Xi retreated at a pace that seemed slow yet was actually swift, declaring, "We part ways; the bridge is the bridge, and the road is the road, never to be related again!" With that, she turned and left.

As two girls were laughing and playing, a car approached the entrance of Tianchi. Its appearance was so ordinary that even the security guard did not notice anything unusual. However, in the next moment, a group of well-trained individuals jumped out of the parked car. Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, they advanced in a combat formation, blocking all exits of the building where Tianchi was located.

He Xi said for the one thousand and first time, "I have quit drinking," as he passed the bottle over

Taking advantage of the moment when He Xi was on the phone with Xiao Yi, Yan Dai went to the restroom. As she came out, she was facing the mirror, arranging her hair, when suddenly she heard an explosion. In her daze, she then heard someone shout sharply: "Don't move! Put your hands on your head and squat down!"

The bartender shrank back in grievance and quietly defended himself, saying, "The boss said it exactly like this..."

... ...

Alright, you are reasonable, is that reasonable enough now

He Xi! With a sudden movement, he swiftly turned around, wrapping his arms around her and protecting her between his embrace and the wall

As a professional soldier, he had to set aside his personal feelings for his children and return to the regiment headquarters

He took a deep breath, continuously, and when he turned around, he had already restrained his emotions. He said in a low voice: "I will go over now"

Daring to confront He Hongxun, who is the deputy commander, does not mean daring to defy the orders of Chief of Staff Li, especially in situations where the circumstances are unclear and the enemy and ally are indistinguishable. Clever as Mu Ke is, she never acts rashly. Glancing at He Xi, she let out an "oh" and, rather ungraciously, left her sister-in-law behind, turning back to look three times.

You are the target, your whole family is the target! He Xi muttered a curse under her breath, while taking a defensive stance, only defending and not attacking, she raised her voice again to remind: "You are mistaken, we are not..." Before she could finish her sentence, her shoulder was kicked hard, the force was so great that it numbed her arm.

He Xi was unconcerned: "It's nothing, don't worry." Seeing Yan Dai glaring at her, she smiled and said: "Looking at City A, who among them is a match for my sister? Relax!"
