Chapter 1786: Chapter 1420: We’re Friends! Bai Xiaosheng successfully rescued Chen Feiyu and Dong Tianxiu, untying the ropes binding their thumbs. Lei Ying was also done on his end. The four tough guys who had a fight with Lei Ying were beaten to a pulp, knocked out cold, and couldn’t get up even if they tried. They were so dazed and seeing double. Getting up only made them dizzy and nauseous; it was actually more comfortable to stay lying down. Besides, they were truly scared of the beating they received. Lei Ying looked at the guys lying on the ground, feeling a bit bored, seemingly despising the fact that no one could put up a decent fight. With an uninterested expression, he walked over to Bai Xiaosheng and the others. Lin Weiwei, who was watching from afar, also walked over. Everyone gathered again. “What should we do with these people?” After checking on Dong Tianxiu and Chen Feiyu, Lin Weiwei looked at the ones lying all over the ground and couldn’t help but ask. “Call the police?” Dong Tianxiu looked at Bai Xiaosheng and asked for his opinion. “Didn’t you already call the police!” Chen Feiyu immediately frowned and looked at him. Dong Tianxiu immediately chuckled bitterly, “I mean, Feiyu big sis, how could I have had the time to personally call the police? I just shouted to someone to help call the police, then rushed over to help you. I bet that person is still confused, not knowing what’s happening! Earlier, I said that to deceive them. After all, a surprise is key to military strategy, right? I’m smart, aren’t I?” Chen Feiyu looked thoroughly exasperated, feeling slightly disdainful. “Help me?” Chen Feiyu looked as if she was holding back the urge to smack Dong Tianxiu. “If you hadn’t been caught, would I have been distracted and let that woman trick me? Could they have beaten me? I mean, Mr. Dong, are you out of your mind? If you really wanted to help me intimidate them, you might have shown yourself and run away! Instead, you just stood there, giving them a hostage, what’s up with that?” Upon hearing Chen Feiyu’s words, Dong Tianxiu widened his eyes, having an “epiphany” moment. He exclaimed in shock, “Yeah, I could have shown myself and just turned around and run! At least two would have chased me, and maybe they would have been scared I brought the police, so they wouldn’t dare mess with you!” Chen Feiyu rolled her eyes, massaging her temples. It seemed she’d been angered by Dong Tianxiu. Bai Xiaosheng immediately laughed and patted Dong Tianxiu’s shoulder, reassuringly saying, “Actually, you’ve done really well! Having the courage to stand up and not retreat in the face of danger is already quite manly. At that moment, who could stay calm and think of a strategy?” This update is available on novelꜰire.net Lei Ying also smiled and nodded. Speaking of himself, he never feared danger. Fighting was purely learned from crawling through countless life-and-death situations on the battlefield. Dong Tianxiu grew up in the peaceful environment at home and perhaps had never even fought twice. Having the courage to step up without running away in the face of danger wasn’t bad at all. Expecting him to remain calm and wise would be asking a bit much. Lin Weiwei agreed as well. Seeing everyone’s attitude, Dong Tianxiu finally felt a bit better. “So what now, should we call the police?” Dong Tianxiu asked again. Bai Xiaosheng looked around. The people had been thoroughly beaten up, bones and all. What could they report to the police, say those people tried to commit violence? The state those people were in made them look more like the victims… Besides, if the police arrived, they’d naturally have to cooperate with the investigation, which would probably mean staying in Yunbei for a few more days. But he wanted to go back quickly and get to work. Of course, not calling the police and letting those people go wasn’t an option! Who knows if they’d harm others! “Here’s the plan; let’s leave here first and call the police on the way, saying we accidentally saw someone fighting with weapons. These people aren’t good folks; they likely have criminal records. Once the police take them, they’ll definitely find out. Meanwhile, we’ll avoid unnecessary trouble.” Bai Xiaosheng said to everyone. Everyone looked at each other and nodded, agreeing with his idea. The group left the area and called the police before exiting the alley. As they walked out, Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying were curious about how Dong Tianxiu and Chen Feiyu, being new, got entangled with those people. “Well, I was just accompanying our Mr. Dong for a stroll.” Chen Feiyu began to recount the events, “Then a woman ran up to us asking for help, saying she was being controlled by a pyramid scheme operation and asked us to help her report it to the police. We also noticed two suspicious men following her. At that time, I felt sorry for her, and with our Mr. Dong being the gallant protector, we both agreed. She said we could cut through here to get directly to the police station, but she was afraid to walk this path alone, so we went with her. On the way, she said she needed to confuse them and threw her coat into a side path. When we got here, she then claimed her ID was in her coat and couldn’t be lost. Our Mr. Dong volunteered to go back for it. Then, we were surrounded by a group of men. However, I wasn’t really afraid; I even beat two of them. If that woman hadn’t held me back, those guys wouldn’t have been a problem for me.” Bai Xiaosheng nodded as he listened. Dong Tianxiu added, “When I went back for the coat, I saw two guys trying to block me. I’m not good at fighting, but I work out a lot; I’m particularly good at running. I sprinted away, and they couldn’t catch me. Once I was out of the alley, they gave up chasing me. I realized things were going south, found someone to call the police, and then rushed back to help. When I got back, I saw the two who chased me had joined four others and surrounded Feiyu and the others. But I never expected that the woman was with them!”
