Chapter 57: New Spoils of War
Yan Jingxing flew up and kicked on the heart of the private detective sitting on the chair, kicking him directly into the chair more than two meters away.
Then, he immediately turned his head, only to hear a chaotic sound of "ping pong", several figures ambushed outside the door of the restaurant rushed in, and the leading man stretched out his big hand, trying to grab Ji Chunzao, who was closest to the door.
Yan Jingxing frowned slightly, grabbed the stool next to him and smashed it in the direction of the person.
The other party didn't seem to expect someone to react to this level at all, and he was hit right in the face door when he couldn't dodge, and for a while his nose bleeded, and he covered his face and took two steps back.
"Come to me!"
Yan Jingxing shouted.
The curly-haired girl was frightened by the sudden change at first, her little face was pale, and she came back to her senses when she heard his shout, and hurriedly trotted all the way to Yan Jingxing's side.
The young man grabbed her sleeve and pulled it back, protecting Ji Chunzao by his side, staring at the men who suddenly rushed into the restaurant.
There are four people in total, all of them tall and sturdy, and there is a fierce look in their expressions, and they know at a glance that they are not easy to get along.
Some put their hands in their pockets, some covered their faces with the brim of their hats, some carried steel pipes, reflecting the cold luster of metal in the hot sun, and two of them had scars on their faces, looking like professional thugs.
Yan Jingxing heard the rapid and nervous breathing of the girl behind him, he gently shook her wrist with his hand to show comfort, and turned his gaze to the peaked cap detective sitting in the corner of the restaurant.
"Little brother, don't blame me, I'm also forced to be helpless."
He Feng replied while constantly rubbing his chest with his hands, showing a little pain on his face, it seemed that Yan Jingxing's kick just now was really unclear.
ββ¦β¦ Oh? Forced to be helpless? β
Of course, Yan Jingxing hated the despicable behavior of the other party to lead them into a trap, but at the moment, the men who suddenly attacked the restaurant were unidentified and dangerous, and the most important question was undoubtedly how to deal with them.
Yan Jingxing needs intelligence, and the only way he can get clues now is to pry open the mouth of the detective in front of him.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
He Feng looked at the group of people blocking the door, his expression a little hesitant. He gritted his teeth, and then said in a very soft voice:
"You're not the first to investigate White Moon Town's past. I've been hired here before. But it wasn't until recently that I learned that the identity of the person who hired me wasn't simple, and I felt like I couldn't handle it. β
ββ¦β¦ Is that them? Do you know? β
"I don't know." He Feng shook his head, "But I think it's the same boss behind the people who hired me and the people who let them come over." β
I see.
If what he said was true, instead of playing a double reed with someone, then Miss Xie's doubts would be explained.
"So, the guy who hired you let you be the bait after he knew there were others who wanted to investigate the same thing?"
"Yes. I should have been watched, that's why I was targeted by them, and I was thinking about getting two jobs for one job, so I really didn't have the idea of digging into the inside story. He Feng smiled wryly in embarrassment, "If I knew it would attract them...... Alas, it's me who is not good and has harmed you two children. β
The reason why the news released by Miss Xie was able to receive a reply so quickly was because the detectives were already in the town, and there was even another group of people who were eyeing the secret, one step ahead of them.
"I see you're still students, how can you get involved in such a dangerous thing?"
The detective stole another glance at the group of people standing in the doorway, and for some reason, they didn't do anything yet, and the leader took out a mobile phone.
"Seriously, what secrets are hidden in this town? I'm really curious now. β
Yan Jingxing did not answer, but immediately asked rhetorically:
"Didn't you investigate?"
"I'm investigating, and the subject of the investigation is a strange person who lived in a cave for several years and then disappeared from the world, and I don't know anything else, and I don't know why anyone is looking for him......"
"Let's stop here."
Yan Jingxing interrupted him.
"After I send them away, you will explain to me in detail."
He Feng blinked and looked at the young man in front of him with a strange expression.
In his eyes, the other party is just a hairy boy, how can he have such a big confidence to say that he can "send" a few strong adult men?
But to be honest, just this young man can maintain a calm mind in the face of such an unexpected situation, which is better than ordinary people, at least he can't do it.
"Don't answer? Then when you say yes. β
Yan Jingxing said, putting his hand in his jacket pocket, and his eyes were already locked on the target.
At this time, the men blocking the door of the restaurant finally moved.
The restaurateur, who was busy in the kitchen, heard a noise outside, and originally wanted to come out to see the situation, but he ran into this group of uninvited customers head-on, and before he could resist, he was controlled by one of them with a knife, his face was pale, and he did not dare to say a word.
As a result, no one in the restaurant can call the police.
"Is that the news you put out? Still a minor? Was it instigated? β
After a moment of silence, the lead man with the scar asked.
"No one instructed me, I was the one who put the news. Any questions? β
The men exchanged glances.
ββ¦β¦ I just spoke to my boss, and the reply was to tell us to 'do whatever it takes'. But as a last resort, I don't want to be rough with a few students. Scarface said, "So, as long as you two come with me, my brothers and I won't hurt you, how about it?" β
There was a tense feeling behind him. It was the little girl who was hiding behind him and clutching her clothes, ten fingers subconsciously exerting force.
Yan Jingxing narrowed his eyes.
At this moment, there was no panic or fear in his heart, only the excitement of facing the stimulus of the crisis.
There is a sentence that he has heard more than once in movies and TV series; For a boy of Yan Jingxing's age, this kind of line undoubtedly has an irresistible charm.
Right now, it's time to say itβ
"And what if I say no?"
Yan Jingxing's expression was solemn and he spoke in a deep voice.
The scar-faced man on the other side smiled, as if he hadn't held it back.
The group of brothers around him laughed along, and the abominable detective, evenβ
"Poof."
Ji Chunzao's chuckle came from behind, which made Yan Jingxing break through.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?"
Yan Jingxing complained helplessly, and his face was also a little feverish.
"yes, I'm sorry, I couldn't help it...... The main thing is Jing Xing, your expression just now is too interesting......"
The little girl took him by the shoulders with both hands, leaned on his shoulders and whispered:
"-still, it's handsome, huh!"
Yan Jingxing's heart skipped a slight beat.
"Don't worry, Harunzao." He also lowered his voice and comforted, "I'll protect you." And don't forget, we're not just two people. β
"I know."
"Alright, boy, no kidding with you."
The scar-faced man said that although he looked fierce, his tone was not too vicious.
"I know that people your age tend to be hot-headed, impulsive, and act without regard for the consequences. Luckily, this time I brought something that would calm you down as soon as you saw it. β
As he spoke, he took out a brown paper bag and pulled out a metal lump with a jet-black sheen from itβ
It was a gun.
Even if you haven't seen it in reality, it is impossible for people living in modern society not to recognize it, it symbolizes absolute violence in front of the mortal body of the flesh; It was enough to make anyone who saw it and was defenseless lose the courage to resist it.
The atmosphere in the restaurant seemed to freeze in an instant, He Feng's face changed, and the detective subconsciously held his breath. He realized that it was okay to say that these guys could even get a pistol, so it was not a simple "gangster" that could be described.
The scarface man raised his pistol and aimed it at the boy and girl who confronted him.
"Well, did Ken agree?"
Facing the muzzle of the black hole, the corners of Yan Jingxing's mouth once again floated in an arc.
- Great.
That's the first thought that pops into his mind when he sees the gun.
A warrior needs a weapon, any kind of weapon that can be used; If not, take it from someone else's hand.
Speaking of which, he hasn't tried the feeling of using a gun yet. I wonder how the "warrior instinct" adds to shooting skills?
"I, no, agree, will."
He paused word by word and spoke slowly.
The scar-faced man didn't care, but waved his hand, asked the two accomplices around him to go over, and tied up this hard-mouthed boy who didn't know what to do.
ββAt this moment, Yan Jingxing suddenly shrank up like a spring, stepped on the ground with both feet, and the whole person seemed to disappear in place;
At the same time, several tables in the restaurant crashed into the uninvited guests along with chairs, and the tablecloths on them were lifted, and bamboo tubes filled with disposable chopsticks, glass bottles containing soy sauce and vinegar, etc., all fell on the men.
The scar-faced man was stunned for a moment, he didn't see what was going on at all, he thought that the threat of pulling out a gun would solve the problem, and he didn't even open the insurance.
He only felt as if someone was shaking in front of him, and then he felt a sudden burst of cold pain in his arm holding the gun.
He screamed in pain, his face contorted, and withdrew his bleeding hand, only to see a bright knife piercing into it.
"Fuck me!"
"Quick! Arrest people...... Burst! β
Yan Jingxing, whose figure "disappeared" in place, originally jumped to the table next to him with the help of the cover of the wall, and then jumped into the fish, jumped directly over the distance of three tables, threw the man to the ground, tried to restrain his movements, and controlled the hand holding the gun.
"What the fuckβ"
The scar-faced man is not a vegetarian either, although he was hit by a precise and ruthless flying knife in his hand, he didn't have the slightest intention of letting go of his hand, but immediately smashed the young man's back with his other hand, and at the same time, the muscles and brute force of his body worked together, almost throwing Yan Jingxing who was pressing on him directly into the air.
"Let go!"
"Look for death!"
At the same time, his companions surrounded him in unison.
Yan Jingxing did not hesitate, reached out and firmly grasped the handle of the flying knife that ran through the man's arm, and then twisted it hard.
"Uhhββ!h
The scar-faced man couldn't care about struggling anymore, and his whole body was so painful that he curled up his back like a boiled shrimp, and tears and snot couldn't stop flowing.
Yan Jingxing took the opportunity to grab the pistol that slipped from his hand, and at the same time rolled on the spot, using his size advantage to seize the gap and timing, and drilled out of the men who pounced around him like a slippery loach.
From throwing knives to grabbing guns and flashing people, the whole process was done in one go, which made the onlookers drop their jaws; By the time he returned to Ji Chunzao's side again, he had already begun to look at the "loot" in his hand.
Yan Jingxing's hair had become messy from the short but fierce battle just now, and he was assuming a posture with a gun with great interest.
Ji Chunzao leaned his little face over and curiously observed this murder weapon that he had only heard of but had never seen. The nervous look on the girl's face had vanished after a moment.
"Well, I've heard that if you really want to shoot, you have to open the safety or something......"
She poked the black, heavy body of the gun with her hand.
"Let's do it."
Yan Jingxing held the gun in one hand with his right hand and opened the safety next to his thumb without hesitation.
"Bastard......!"
Two of them were trying to lift up the injured man lying on the ground, while the rest of the man turned his head and strode towards Yan Jingxing with a sinister face.
"Don't move."
Yan Jingxing immediately raised the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at the other party's front door, and his tone was understated.
"If you move again, I'll shoot."
The man's steps froze in place.
The boy lifted his chin in the direction of the scarface man and smiled sarcastically.
"Well, as your boss over there said, it's something that calms people down when they see it, isn't it?"
