Chapter Nine, Record

There is none left. Chen Xiao immediately denied it—if the police were to find out about that child in her home, it would be a huge problem

... ...

However, looking at the steaming fried rice and the soup exuding the aroma of eggs in front of her, a trace of warmth inexplicably emerged in Chen Xiao's empty heart

"It's just an accident." Chen Xiao shook her head: "Are you hungry? I can't cook like this, but there is some bread in the fridge..."

The man appeared to be in his thirties or forties, his face covered in grease, making it difficult to discern his features. However, his eyes were surprisingly calm and gentle. Upon seeing Hong Qi from a distance, he sighed and said with a wry smile, "I knew it, every time you go on a mission, you always end up wrecking several of my vehicles! I had originally expected you wouldn't come to see me for another two or three days, but I didn't anticipate you would arrive so early this time."

"I really don't know, officer," Chen Xiao sighed helplessly. He lay on the bed, his head wrapped in thick gauze, looking as if he were a mummy, with an intravenous drip inserted into the back of his hand.

How is it? Is there anyone else at home? A police officer, noticing Chen Xiao's somewhat anxious demeanor, instinctively asked a question, but immediately regretted it: the records indicated that he was an orphan.

What a joke! Are you saying to the police: a woman as strong as Superman can shout at a car and send the entire vehicle flying?

The man named Uncle Tian shook his head: "At my age, all I seek is stability. Unlike you, who are young..." As he spoke, he walked to the front of the car and opened the hood, immediately releasing a wave of hot air. He glanced inside, sighed, and said: "Alas... do you really not care about your life when driving? This is just a makeshift car; do you really think it's a Lamborghini? If you were to get into an accident, do you and the library think you are invincible?"

The police exchanged glances; they had already reviewed Chen Xiao's relevant files and information. Before meeting him, they were aware of Chen Xiao's background—he was practically a modern-day tragic hero. At just eighteen years old, with such a pitiable background and a consistently good record of law-abiding behavior, the police were also reluctant to exert too much pressure on such a young individual

When Qiqi stepped out of the car, a man wearing a hat and dressed in a dirty work uniform stained with oil marks emerged from the office of the repair shop, holding a welding torch in his hand

In the hospital, Chen Xiao lay on the emergency room bed. His injuries had been treated, and his head and body were wrapped in numerous bandages and gauze, which had also been disinfected. The doctor had conducted several physical examinations on him.

Shaking his head, he tried hard to calm himself down. Suddenly, he recalled what the red-haired person he met today had said: "Hey, let me ask you... this freezer... uh, I mean this micro biological chamber, can you operate it? Can you open it for me to take a look?"

"Alright. Please be careful." A slightly older police officer thought for a moment, quickly took out a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote down a number: "This is my phone number... If you remember anything, please give me a call; it might be helpful for this case. My surname is Xu, and you can contact me directly."

Therefore, Chen Xiao's statement to the police is: he was knocked unconscious by the bandits in the car, and amidst the intense collision, he saw nothing and knew nothing.

Ya Ya suddenly smiled, her smile sweet and gentle: "I made something to eat!"

Under Chen Xiao's insistence, he finally obtained permission to be discharged from the hospital; however, the police kindly sent a patrol car to take him home.

Seeing Chen Xiao walk in looking like that, the child couldn't help but be taken aback: "You..."

Chen Xiao sighed, his expression very calm: "I cannot afford to stay in the hospital... I have no money."

Is there anything special about the target person this time? Uncle Tian frowned: I have lived in City K for so long and have never noticed anyone here who would attract the organization's attention

Based on the circumstances at the scene and after the investigation, the police estimated that the severity of the damage to the vehicle used by the assailants, along with the collision marks on the road, indicates that for a seven-seater business vehicle to be thrown over twenty meters, it would require a truck to collide head-on at a speed exceeding 150 miles per hour

Stop making excuses, I know you well enough—once you touch the steering wheel, you habitually go crazy

Hong Qi smiled faintly, stepped out, lit a cigarette for herself, and tossed one to the man. The man pinched the cigarette, sniffed it, and shook his head: "You know, I quit."

She only learned to use the stove and other things in the kitchen this morning

After bidding farewell to the police amicably, Chen Xiao stood downstairs at her home and sighed—what bad luck! Truly unfortunate!

Chen Xiao has a bit of a headache

Is this reaction innate?

After everything was settled, Chen Xiao began to take the statements from the two police officers

Hong Qi fell silent, reflecting on the recent events. Just moments ago, when she unleashed her extraordinary powers against the robbers' car, the young man inside seemed to possess an exceptionally keen intuition, as if he could sense the imminent danger. In that fleeting moment, he even knew to fasten his seatbelt and instinctively curled his body into a protective posture

What is even more troubling is that the only surviving fat bandit seems to have been stimulated by something, showing signs of madness and babbling nonsensically.

Looking at Chen Xiao's helpless expression, the police found themselves at a loss—after all, he was the victim, an innocent citizen. Although there were some doubts about Chen Xiao's account—it was inherently suspicious! Among the group, he had sustained the least injury, and the traces left in the car at the scene clearly indicated that this hostage had actually been wearing a seatbelt... ? ... Uh, is it possible that the treatment of hostages is so good nowadays? Would those kidnappers kindly allow the hostage to wear a seatbelt? Among the group, he had sustained the least injury, and the traces left in the car at the scene clearly indicated that this hostage had actually been wearing a seatbelt... ? ... Uh, is it possible that the treatment of hostages is so good nowadays? Would those kidnappers kindly allow the hostage to wear a seatbelt?

Hong Qi thought for a moment: "Well... that seems fine. After all, I have already met with the target, and there might be an order from above to replace someone to handle this matter. I can also take a few days off."

Fortunately, Chen Xiao was indeed lucky; despite such a violent impact, not a single bone was broken. He only sustained some abrasions on his body, and the intense oscillation caused multiple sprains. According to the doctor, in the coming days, he is likely to experience pain in many areas of his body.

Chen Xiao's mouth seemed to have swallowed an egg, staring at Ya Ya: "Did you do this?!"

Uh ... fried rice? Egg drop soup?

If I were to say this myself, I would probably be immediately transferred from the surgical department of this hospital to the neurology department

"A few hours?" Uncle Tian laughed, "Do you think I am a god? Three days!"

There were clearly no traces of any trucks having ever driven here. After conducting a ground survey, colleagues from the Traffic Survey Department also found no evidence of any accidents or collisions

The police are also exceptionally troubled by this case

In other words, it seems that this bandit's business vehicle was somehow struck out into the air by itself

A hint of sympathy was reflected in the eyes of the two police officers, one of whom said: "You will not have to bear the cost of the emergency medical services today, so please rest assured"

The tone carries a hint of reproach and concern, subtly reflected in hetushucom.com

"But I still have to go to school, and I need to work to earn money," Chen Xiao said with a bitter smile. "I can't just lie here doing nothing. I have to eat. Besides, my injury isn't that serious; lying here is no different from lying at home. Every little bit saved counts."

... ... you ? ''

Chen Xiao wore a face full of skepticism; twenty-four hours ago, this girl didn't even know what it meant to be "hungry"

"I encountered a little issue." Chen Xiao waved his hand, his left arm hanging in front of his chest. He walked over to Ya Ya, sat down, and then sighed: "I apologize, the things I originally intended to buy for you are all gone... Moreover, it's quite late, and you haven't eaten anything, have you?"

The traffic police department also reviewed the street surveyors in the surrounding areas and found no evidence of any heavy trucks passing through that section during that time period

When can I be discharged and leave? Chen Xiao was somewhat anxious; it was already dark outside, and she was worried about how the little one at home was doing...

Two police officers frowned

"Don't mention it," Hong Qi shook his head and let out a bitter laugh. "I had no choice... The target I was watching almost died, and it was still to save him."

During the recording, he did not inform the police of the true situation, especially regarding the mysterious woman known as "Red Seven"

After a laborious climb upstairs, Chen Xiao opened the door to his home. It was pitch dark inside, but he immediately spotted Ya Ya quietly sitting on the sofa in the living room—thankfully, she had finally not fallen asleep back in the freezer.

"Hehe, Uncle Tian, you are really boring," Hong Qi blinked.

That kid..." Hong Qi took a deep drag of his cigarette, then casually exhaled a large, round smoke ring. There was a hint of reminiscence and contemplation in his eyes as he chuckled softly, saying: "I can't say for sure. Uncle Tian... that kid seems no different from an ordinary person when viewed on m.hetushu.com. The testing device also shows no extraordinary data... However, I suspect he might be one of 'us'!"

After speaking, the child seemed somewhat proud and excited, happily running into the kitchen. In just a short while, they emerged from the kitchen carrying two bowls...

This is simply unbelievable

The two police officers in front exchanged glances, and one of them slowly said: "Mr. Chen, we understand that you were merely an accidental hostage taken by the bandits. However, there are many unresolved questions at the scene, and currently, three out of the four bandits are dead. As one of the two survivors, we need you to provide as detailed a statement as possible..."

At the entrance of her residential community, Chen Xiao declined the police's kind offer to help her upstairs to her home—her child could not be seen by others! Moreover, that little girl did not like to wear clothes; if the police saw her, it would raise suspicions of human trafficking, which would be troublesome

All the clothes I bought today are gone, and even my bicycle was left at the bank entrance. I have to ride it back myself... Now I am injured all over. Tomorrow is Monday— I can take a leave from school, but it is not so easy to take a leave from my job.

Hong Qi no longer offered any explanation, merely smiled and said, "How many hours will it take to fix this?"

I want to go home. Chen Xiao sat up

Setting aside the issue of the blue-blooded individuals, the child was sent here without any attachment, as if she were placed in a refrigerator... How could she possibly have a passport or an ID on her?

Yaya looked at Chen Xiao, her eyes filled with concern: "Your body has some damage... yes..."

The child pointed at the coffee table in front of them: on it lay a book, and Chen Xiao glanced at it, only to find that it was a cookbook.

I found this in your room and casually flipped through it

In a remote repair shop in the southern part of City K, a black Buick slowly drove onto the repair platform, and then the large gate outside the repair shop slowly closed
