Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Let Go of That Girl【5 More】

Sharuk’s face went pale with shock, and with a surge of swift movement, he viciously seized Xiao Yufei’s neck.

"Don’t shoot, or else I’ll strangle this lass to death."

"Uh..."

Caught off guard, Xiao Yufei couldn’t catch her breath, her little face turning beet red, unable to speak a word.

She could only see a silhouette outside the door, hands at the waist, bending over as if about to draw a gun.

However, looking from a bright area into a dark one, she couldn’t make out any facial features.

But she recognized the voice—it was Xiao Zheng.

"Let go of the girl!"

Xiao Zheng squeezed his throat, feigning to draw his weapon, pacing back and forth, causing Sharuk to tremble with fear.

It was known that the Divine Needle King’s strength lay in his needle technique, not in his own physical power, which was no match for bullets.

If he were shot at, he would be hit by the bullets, he would bleed, and he could die.

At that moment, Sharuk glanced at the wooden house and noticed the back window wasn’t closed. He figured that even from a skyscraper he would have to jump. With his agile movement technique, he should be able to escape with his life.

With this in mind, while still holding Xiao Yufei, he started to back away, his voice a mix of menace and nervousness, "Don’t come any closer, I’m warning you, don’t."

"Hm?"

Xiao Zheng in the darkness also noticed the wide-open back window and immediately understood his plan, he wanted to escape.

If he managed to flee, it would be the best possible solution since it would mean saving Xiao Yufei.

"Old man, don’t do anything rash, okay? This is Officer Xiao. If you kill her, it will trigger a joint pursuit by the military and police. By then, you won’t be able to escape even if you had wings."

"Hmph, threatening me? You’re not qualified!"

Although Sharuk said this, he felt a chill in his heart. He hadn’t expected this stubborn girl to be a cop, a surprise indeed.

His original plan was to drag Xiao Yufei down with him. If things turned sour, he could use her as a hostage to negotiate.

If he was in bad shape after jumping from the building, he could use her to cushion his fall—a perfectly soft landing pad.

And if by some luck she survived the fall, she could serve as an outlet for his frustrations—a juicy, tender piece of cabbage, indeed.

But now.

Sharuk’s thoughts had shifted. He was always on edge since arriving in Huaxia, wary of every side, especially the police.

Since this lass was a cop, he decided to spare her life; otherwise, the consequences could be unimaginable. In this mercenary and assassin’s forbidden land, whether he could even get away was another matter.

"What a pity to lose a pretty girl!"

Sharuk had backed up to the window. He took a look at Xiao Zheng in the darkness outside, then, with a sudden move, he pushed Xiao Yufei away and leaped out the window.

"Bang."

Xiao Yufei staggered and fell to the ground, massaging her neck, it took a long while for her to catch her breath.

She muttered thankfully and glanced at Xiao Zheng in the darkness, her voice annoyed, "Aren’t you going to come in and help me up?"

Only then did Xiao Zheng carefully walk over, pretending to be scared, and gently helped Xiao Yufei up. Her body felt soft and delicate, tender and pliable.

"Oh my, that scared me to death. I thought I’d never see you again."

"Enough already, do you have to overdo it? That was quite the performance."

Xiao Yufei glared at him angrily. Yet there was a subtle warmth in her eyes, perhaps gratitude for Xiao Zheng’s lifesaving deed.

Xiao Zheng quickly went back to his jocular and obsequious manner, saying, "So, Officer Xiao, how did I do just now? Did I play the part of the cop well? Was my acting up to scratch? Scared Brother San off, didn’t I?"

"You, a cop? No chance in this lifetime."

Xiao Yufei finally stood straight, rolling her eyes at him. With his questionable ways, no police department would ever take him in.

Suddenly, as if something occurred to her, she rushed to the window and peered down. Xiao Zheng followed closely behind.

They saw Sharuk on the ground, running toward the road to the west.

"Xiao Zheng, I’m going ahead. We can’t let him get away!"

"Forget it, Officer Xiao. That guy is dangerous. You’d be signing your own death warrant by going after him."

Seeing her frantic demeanor, Xiao Zheng grabbed her, trying to calm her with relentless persuasion.

Sending a gunless policewoman to face the Divine Needle King? That was undeniably a suicide mission.

However, Xiao Yufei shook off Xiao Zheng’s hand and said with righteous indignation, "I am a people’s policewoman, and it is my bounden duty to capture criminals."

After speaking, she walked out and made a phone call.

"Hello, is this the duty office? A drug trafficker was spotted in the city center, an East Nan Ya old man, heading west towards the suburbs. This is Xiao Yufei. I’m in pursuit of the criminal, requesting backup."

Once she hung up, she ran downstairs.

Xiao Zheng had no choice but to follow her, he couldn’t just watch her go to her death, could he?

"What on earth are you trying to do, Missy? You think you can go up against a vicious criminal alone?"

"What’s with all the chatter? I’m going after a criminal, what’s it to you?"

Xiao Yufei dashed downstairs in a flash, not bothering to call a taxi, she just started running after the target.

Xiao Zheng watched her little rear wiggle as she ran, his face a picture of helplessness. He grabbed an unlocked bicycle from the roadside and pedaled like an electric motor, quickly catching up with Xiao Yufei.

"Officer Xiao, want a lift?"

"You call this a ride? That old man runs faster than a car. Are you sure you can catch up?"

Xiao Yufei glanced at the Phoenix brand bicycle and rolled her eyes before continuing the pursuit.

"Hop on, I guarantee we’ll catch him."

"You sure about that?"

"Wanna pinky swear?"

"Stop digressing! Hurry up, giddy-up!"

So, Mr. Xiao directly became the selfless, hardworking ox.

This sassy girl, all fire and brimstone, truly a handful!

Xiao Zheng started to pick up speed, and between the flurries of his legs, illusions appeared, carrying Xiao Yufei at breakneck speed.

"Officer Xiao, should I crank it up a notch?"

"How fast can you go?" Xiao Yufei was also shocked because the speed had already surpassed that of an electric bike, incredibly swift.

"Damn... you looking down on me?"

Xiao Zheng’s legs whirled like a turbine, and he quickly accelerated.

Xiao Yufei, sitting in the back, could feel the whooshing wind, making it hard to keep her eyes open.

Squinting, she caught sight of Sharuk ahead, running incredibly fast, almost inhumanly so.

"Xiao Zheng, speed up, we have to catch him."

"Roger that!"

Time ticked away, and Sharuk was like a car with a full tank, showing no signs of stopping.

In a blink, half an hour had gone by, and Xiao Zheng was now pursuing through the winding roads of the western suburbs, where there were few pedestrians and vehicles but plenty of street racers.

"Whoosh..."

The Phoenix bicycle, with the sound of the wind, swiftly overtook several motorcycles, effortlessly.

Xiao Yufei began to scream in terror, clutching tightly to Xiao Zheng’s waist, not daring to let go for a second.

The sensation was exhilarating, even more thrilling than shooting at the range.

"Damn!"

A few street racers watched the bicycle whizz by, with a stunning girl on the back, and were immediately dumbfounded.

"Big Brother Da Fei, was that a bicycle that just passed by?"

"So what if it was? Open your titanium alloy dog eyes and look, there’s a pretty girl waving at us."

"Damn it, I can feel her scorn!"

"Brothers, let’s show them what street racers can do."

"That girl ain’t bad either, we’ll take turns with her tonight."
