Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 643 Dawn (49)

Xiang Yong calmed down a little and asked suspiciously, "Really?"

Yan Zhen interrupted again, "No! Mom, he's committing a crime right now. If we let him go like this, it's like releasing a tiger back into the mountains. He'll go and harm other girls in the future! We must get the police to arrest him today! We're not afraid of him. I don't believe he'd dare to kill someone!"

Xiang Yong's face immediately darkened.

Chu Huian was almost driven mad with anxiety and yelled at Yan Zhen, "Shut up!"

After scolding him, she quickly assured Xiang Yong, "Don't listen to her. She's just a kid. As long as you let us go and leave here right away, you and we will be fine... Go now."

Xiang Yong's gloomy gaze swept back and forth between Yan Zhen and Chu Huian, as if weighing whose words carried more weight.

Yan Zhen sneered at the opportune moment: "Mom, is that all the courage you have? No wonder Dad has an affair..."

"Yan Zhen!!!" Chu Huian's voice cracked with anger, "Can't you just stop causing trouble for me?!"

Yan Zhen pretended to be slightly taken aback by her shout, then argued back in an even louder and sharper voice: "The teacher said that one should be brave and fight against evil forces. What are you afraid of? Yuncheng is our territory. Xiang Yong, a scoundrel who only dares to bully and fight in Xiangjia Village, wouldn't dare to do anything to us! You may be afraid, but I'm not! I will never let him go!"

After saying that, Yan Zhen glared fiercely at Xiang Yong.

Chu Huian: "..."

Xiang Yong, who was already short-tempered, was enraged by Yan Zhen's words and her contemptuous gaze. He gritted his teeth, approached Yan Zhen, grabbed her collar, and lifted her up, saying, "Are you fucking tired of living?"

Yan Zhen, with his face so close to Yan Zhen's, suddenly spat in his face.

Xiang Yong: "..."

Having suffered such humiliation, the muscles on his face visibly twisted and contorted, and he raised one hand high, about to slap Yan Zhen across the face.

But before the slap could land, police sirens blared outside.

Chu Huian was overjoyed.

Xiang Yong froze. Forget about hitting Yan Zhen, he turned to Chu Huian and cursed, "Didn't you say the police wouldn't arrive for another forty minutes?"

Yan Zhen said gloatingly, "You believe what the adults say? The adults love to lie."

"..."

Chu Huian quickly suppressed her joy and spoke again with much more confidence: "You should leave now, it's not too late."

First she said she hadn't called the police, then she lied about the time the police would arrive. Xiang Yong no longer believed what Chu Huian was saying.

As the death-defying sirens grew louder and louder, Xiang Yong's heart pounded and his hands and feet trembled with panic.

He suddenly pulled a utility knife from his pocket, his sinister gaze quickly sweeping over Yan Zhen and Chu Huian. He decisively grabbed Chu Huian and dragged her out, saying, "Come with me, I'll let you go when we get to a safe place!"

Compared to the strong and cunning Yan Zhen, this timid woman is easier to control.

Chu Huian panicked upon hearing this and struggled violently: "Let me go...let me go!"

Seeing that Chu Huian was about to be dragged away, Yan Zhen twisted his ankle, broke free of the rope, and quickly hooked the lamp used for lighting on the ground with his toe, kicking it towards Yong Fei.

Xiang Yong was hit in the back by the lamp, stumbled forward and fell face down.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chu Huian quickly broke free from him, turned around and ran back into the classroom, hiding behind Yan Zhen.

Xiang Yong's nose bled from the fall. The pain, combined with the panic caused by the nearby sirens, sent his adrenaline soaring. As he scrambled to his feet and turned to look at the smug, defiant Yan Zhen and Chu Huian hiding behind him, only one thought remained in his mind—

Even if he dies, he'll take someone down with him today!

The moment the thought crossed his mind, he grabbed the utility knife and charged toward Yan Zhen.

Yan Zhen stood still, seemingly terrified by Xiang Yong's fierce actions, but in reality, his eyes were full of mockery as he looked at Xiang Yong.

Xiang Yong, with the mindset of killing one to recoup his losses and killing two to make a sure profit, swung his knife at Yan Zhen, but before he could succeed, a gunshot rang out and a sharp pain suddenly shot through his thigh.

Xiang Yong instinctively looked down and saw a bloody hole in his thigh, from which blood was gushing out.

He looked up in horror at the classroom and saw police cars rushing in, and a large number of police officers surrounding the entire classroom.

Seeing that he still didn't put down the knife even after being shot, two more shots rang out, one hitting Xiang Yong in the shoulder and the other hitting his wrist, knocking the utility knife out of his hand.

Immediately afterwards, the police rushed in and pinned Xiang Yong to the ground.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Having escaped danger, Chu Huian's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, bursting into tears.

Police officers came forward, untied the ropes binding Yan Zhen and Chu Huian, and helped them away.

Stepping out of the classroom, Yan Zhen glanced casually at the teaching building across the street. Two figures disappeared into the darkness.

Yan Zhen and Chu Huian were first taken to the hospital for examination. Chu Huian was frightened and trembled and cried throughout the process.

In contrast, Yan Zhen was much calmer.

After the examination, Yan Zhen had no problems other than bruises on his hands and feet from the rope and some abrasions on his body.

Chu Huian was slapped, and her fair cheek swelled up. Compared to the physical torment she suffered, the mental damage was obviously more severe.

After Yan Zhen finished giving her statement in the ward, Yan Yi, Yan Yuxi, and the nanny arrived late upon receiving the news and began to take over the follow-up matters.

After all the commotion until midnight, Jing Chen rushed back from out of town and brought Yan Zhen home.

Chu Huian needed to be hospitalized for observation, and Yan Yi stayed with her at the hospital.

Yan Zhen followed Jing Chen out of the hospital and into the car. She touched her stomach and said, "Brother, I'm hungry."

Jing Chen started the car: "What do you want to eat?"

"Instant noodles, with lots of sliced ​​beef, shrimp paste, and cheese slices, plus two soft-boiled fried eggs."

"Okay, I'll cook it for you when we get home."

Back at the Yan family home, everyone else was at the hospital with Chu Huian, so the house was quiet.

Jingchen went to the kitchen and cooked two packets of instant noodles.

Yan Zhen washed his hands and sat down to enjoy his meal.

While she was eating noodles, Jingchen took out a first-aid kit and sat down next to her to apply medicine to the bruises on her wrist.

Halfway through his noodles, Yan Zhen remembered something and asked in a low voice, "Brother, has that person left?"

"Well, let's go."

During this period, Xiang Yong followed Yan Zhen, and Jing Chen also arranged for people to follow Xiang Yong, scouting his location and uncovering his plans.

Yan Zhen was captured and taken to a classroom in an abandoned school. Jing Chen and his men hid in the opposite teaching building, setting up sniper rifles to monitor his every move and ensure that he would not actually harm Yan Zhen.

Yan Zhen asked, "It must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"It hasn't reached the point where he needs to intervene, not many."

"How much is not more?"

Jing Chen gave a number, and Yan Zhen gasped in shock: "This isn't much?"

"It's nothing compared to your safety."

Yan Zhen was delighted to hear this and leaned over to nuzzle his shoulder with her own: "Brother, thank you."

"no need thank me?"

"Thank you for agreeing to all my requests, no matter how outrageous they may be."

Jing Chen raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this, and reached out to pat her head: "Little flatterer, wash the dishes after you finish eating."

With that, he got up, picked up his first-aid kit, and left.

Yan Zhen quickly asked, "Brother, where are you going?"

Jing Chen didn't even turn his head: "Go and run the bathwater for that sycophant. He's covered in dust and filthy."
