Chapter 287

Qin Wei didn't reply, and of course didn't look back either. She pulled Shen Qingqing forward. Those two people also quickened their pace, waving the wooden sticks in their hands. It was obvious they were coming for them.

Su Yang picked up a chair and swung it down to meet their wooden sticks.

"Daniel, run quickly!"

Su Yang pulled Daniel to run away. As a result, he was still whipped on the back by a stick.

Seeing this scene, Daniel's drunkenness was completely scared away. He grabbed one of the men's wooden sticks so Su Yang wouldn't get hit again.

But he alone was no match for four hands. He didn't have any fighting experience and seemed a bit at a loss.

At the critical moment, Qin Wei came back and kicked away the stick in his hand. Then she grabbed the other person's arm and gave him a vicious shoulder throw!

The other person didn't get away either. Not only was his weapon taken away by Qin Wei, but he was also kicked and laid on the ground unable to get up for a long time.

"Why did you come back! It's too dangerous!"

Su Yang rubbed his back and stood up again. Seeing Qin Wei was still there, he couldn't help but worry.

These two people must have come for her.

Qin Wei patted the dust off her pants:

"Dealing with two people isn't too big of a problem for me. Shen Qingqing already called the police. They'll be here in five minutes..."

Before she could finish speaking, eight more people came over. Added to the two getting up from the ground, there were exactly ten people total.

"Will that be enough time..."

Su Yang finished her unfinished words.

...

Five minutes later, fourteen people were taken away by the police cars that arrived, all lined up neatly squatting in the police station.

"Miss Qin, Miss Shen, we meet again."

The policeman who came to take over the case was the same one they had just seen earlier. Both sides felt a little awkward when they saw each other again, mainly because neither had expected to see each other again so soon.

The policeman came over with a middle-aged man in a suit and tie beside him.

The policeman said to Shen Qingqing:

"This is Miss Shen's lawyer. Miss Shen, you can leave now. We've already watched the surveillance video. Your lawyer will handle the rest of this. " Shen Qingqing pulled Qin Wei along:

"I'm taking her with me. I can testify that Qin Wei abided by the law. She was only acting in legitimate self-defense."

Everything that happened so suddenly and inexplicably on the small food street earlier still left her puzzled about what exactly was going on.

Seeing Shen Qingqing's slightly agitated emotions, the lawyer reassured her:

"Don't worry Miss Shen. I saw the surveillance video too. From my professional perspective, neither you nor your friend did anything wrong. It was the other party who provoked the conflict.

But everything needs to be done according to procedure. Their agent has already arrived. Please come with me first before your parents find out."

At the mention of parents, Shen Qingqing wavered a little, but she was still worried as she looked at Qin Wei.

"It's fine. You go first. The lawyer said there's no problem and I believe there's no problem either. We'll see each other again later."

Qin Wei patted Shen Qingqing's hand to stop her from worrying too much.

...

After Shen Qingqing left, the police briefly questioned the three of them separately, then took them to meet with their respective agents.

"Little ancestor, how could you... get into a fight?"

When Qin Wei walked in, Li Yao saw that her face and arms were injured. Her body was probably injured too based on her appearance.

The policeman showed Li Yao the report:

"According to the surveillance footage, the scene, eyewitness accounts, and everyone's statements, Miss Qin and the other three people acted in legitimate self-defense. They can leave now."

While Li Yao was signing, the policeman said to Qin Wei again:

"According to the ringleader's account, someone had ordered them to do it. They had been following you for several days already. It was premeditated and organized. We've confirmed this too. There are other connections involved that we'll notify you about after the case is closed."

With the case temporarily settled, the two policemen who were sorting through the evidence couldn't help but watch the surveillance video again.

"Wow, is this Qin Wei secretly a martial arts star? Her shoulder throw was too textbook."

"And her whipping kick, it's exactly the same as what I practiced in the army before leaving the service!"

Following that, the video showed the four of them being chased by ten people. Qin Wei was even holding a flail in her hand.

The monitor image quality wasn't clear enough. Combined with it being nighttime, the footage was even blurrier. They paused and rewound several times before confirming that Qin Wei did indeed have a flail which she had tied to her calf the whole time, hidden by her pants, so no one noticed.

Policeman A pointed at Qin Wei in the video:

"Is it reasonable for a female celebrity to carry a flail when going out?"

Policeman B had just taken Qin Wei's statement nearby, so he knew more:

"She said she's been followed by people recently and brought the weapon for self-defense. It's legal to carry this kind of flail in China, but she used it very skillfully, fighting ten people herself and didn't even get hurt!"

Five minutes felt too long to them. They didn't get very far before being surrounded and the scene quickly became chaotic. Here, the monitor image quality was even worse. A group of blurry figures swayed and it was unclear who was hitting whom. But the outcome was obvious. When the police arrived, both sides were injured, but the four who were hit only had minor injuries. The ten who had actively provoked the conflict were all lying on the ground already.

Policeman B pointed at the screen:

"It's really a pity we didn't see the whole process clearly. She really did it alone? Fighting ten people! I couldn't do it!"

Policeman A watched it slowly over and over again:

"Hey, did you notice, it looks like there were more than fourteen people fighting..."

As he spoke, he pressed pause. The image was blurry and they could only make out the rough outline of each person. But carefully counting, there were fifteen people.

One person had appeared during the fight, wearing a baseball cap and face mask, so it was impossible to see who he was.

"We asked during the statements, he was probably someone who slipped through the cracks. No one pays attention to the exact number of people during a brawl. He had already escaped before we arrived at the scene."

...

Li Yao drove Qin Wei back to the hotel. She didn't hear a word he said to her in the car. Her mind was a bit chaotic as she kept thinking about what had just happened. It was all too sudden and she needed time to figure out the cause and effect.

But one thing caught her attention. One of the men wearing a baseball cap and face mask moved very swiftly and viciously, but he kept deliberately stirring up the situation before attacking his own people, as if he was helping her the entire time?

His martial arts skills must have come from systematic training.

Who was he?

The lighting was too dark and the scene too chaotic. Qin Wei smoothed her hair. She couldn't figure it out for the moment.

The only thing that could be confirmed was that if not for this person's deliberate protection, her probability of ending up in the ICU would likely be much higher.

Li Yao accompanied her upstairs, all the way to her room door.

"Go back to your room and rest well. I'll follow up on the case. Will you be afraid alone? Should I ask Li Jing to accompany you..."

"Li Yao."

Qin Wei opened the door and looked at the pitch black room without rushing to turn on the lights.

"I'm not afraid. You can go back first. I'll rest first too."

After closing the room door, she couldn't see her hand in front of her face in the darkness. Mixed in the air was a faint scent of perfume. Qin Wei said in a low voice:

"Teacher Qiao, why are you sitting in my room in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

If she had changed to any other perfume, Qin Wei might not have noticed her presence at all.

Hearing a soft sigh in the darkness, Qin Wei immediately added:

"Don't turn on the lights."

The other party did as she said. Although nothing could be seen, she could vaguely hear the soft footsteps walking towards her in the dark.

A slightly cool hand gently touched Qin Wei's face, hesitating for a moment by her lips before wiping away the blood at the corner of her mouth. "Does it hurt?"

The voice was extremely soft, almost a whisper, but the tremble in it could still be heard.
