Chapter 781 — Better to Say It Quietly

The Blossom Guardian

That kick from Wei Zhao scared Giant Deer Bro's lackeys silly, and it scared Black Bird Bro, who stood off to the side, silly too — he stared at Wei Zhao in utter shock!

"You... weren't you only trained in some kind of Iron Bodyguard Art? How are you this strong?" Black Bird Bro stared at Wei Zhao in disbelief, so frightened that he stammered.

If Wei Zhao had given him a blow like that back before Giant Deer Bro arrived, wouldn't it have kicked him straight to death?

Black Bird Bro knew very well that Giant Deer Bro had trained in taekwondo and had an extremely tough physique — and even he had been kicked dozens of meters by Wei Zhao with a single blow. How could Black Bird Bro himself possibly withstand it?

It looked like Wei Zhao had been faking fear all along — in fact, he hadn't been afraid in the least! And the purpose of Wei Zhao doing so was obviously to get himself to bring every member of the thief gang here to be caught by the police!

Thinking of this, Black Bird Bro understood everything — he had been played by Wei Zhao! And played round and round!

But though he was furious inside, he no longer had the slightest thought of daring to oppose Wei Zhao. He was afraid Wei Zhao might give him a kick too, and then he'd simply be done for!

Especially when he saw Giant Deer Bro finally land on the cleaver blade — Black Bird Bro's heart pounded with fright! He didn't know whether Giant Deer Bro was dead or not?

Black Bird Bro knew very well in his heart that the reason Giant Deer Bro dared to fight Wei Zhao and wanted to drag Wei Zhao down with him was that once Giant Deer Bro entered the police station, he definitely wouldn't be getting out. But he himself wasn't like that!

Although he was the second-in-command of the thief gang, he wasn't the principal offender. Moreover, he had never killed anyone — he had only forced himself on a few women — and that wasn't a capital offense either...

"When did I ever say I'd only trained in the Iron Bodyguard Art?" Wei Zhao countered.

"This..." Black Bird Bro was stunned. Thinking carefully about what Wei Zhao had said before, it seemed Wei Zhao really had never said he had only trained in the Iron Bodyguard Art! It was all his own assumption — he had taken it for granted that Wei Zhao had only trained in the Iron Bodyguard Art and was merely tough enough to take a beating, never knowing that Wei Zhao was equally formidable at hitting people.

Black Bird Bro sighed and could only accept his fate. Still, he glanced at Wei Zhao and Yu Xiaoke with a cold sneer, thinking to himself: when the police get here in a moment, I'll report your identities! If we go to prison, don't think you two will get off scot-free!

With the police present then, I dare say you won't dare do anything to me!

"That kick of yours was way too fierce, wasn't it?" Yu Xiaoke also looked at Wei Zhao in astonishment. "What happened to that Giant Deer Bro?"

"His butt might have been sliced off, or maybe both his balls were sliced off..." Wei Zhao shrugged.

Black Bird Bro shivered as he listened from the side. So ruthless! He himself still had one ball left — and this Giant Deer Bro had lost both?

Hearing Wei Zhao's words, Yu Xiaoke covered her mouth and giggled. "Serves him right!"

Faced with armed, live-ammunition police, the members of the thief gang put up no resistance at all and surrendered completely!

They were all thieves, not members of the underworld. Most of them had only committed theft, and after a few years in prison they would get out — so why resist?

Qiu Lingshan had never expected the thief gang to actually all be here! Wei Zhao was really too formidable, wasn't he? He had conned all these people into coming here and waited for her to come arrest them?

Looking at the police cars she had brought, packed full car by car with members of the thief gang, Qiu Lingshan felt an indescribable pride and excitement in her heart!

Looking back through all the people in Songshan City's police bureau throughout history, who had ever caught so many thieves at once? It was practically scooping up the whole nest!

Just as Qiu Lingshan was lost in her thoughts, a figure flew right before her eyes with a miserable "Awoo!" — and then, blood all over his backside, he passed out.

"Captain Song, isn't this the wanted criminal nicknamed Giant Deer, the big boss of the thief gang?" Liu Wangli immediately recognized that the person who had flown over was Giant Deer Bro — a wanted criminal of the police bureau, only he had hidden himself very well and the police had never been able to find him.

"So it really is Giant Deer?" Though Qiu Lingshan had heard from Wei Zhao that the thieves' ring's Big Boss would be coming too, actually having him caught felt altogether different.

"Yes!" Liu Wangli's admiration for his superior was truly boundless. This case-cracking efficiency was simply unmatched under heaven — even when Yang Huaijun had been captain, no case had ever been solved this fast! With Qiu Lingshan, it seemed any case that came along simply got solved!

In Liu Wangli's eyes, the thieves' ring case had looked like a real headache. Catching one or two thieves was easy enough, but completely smashing the whole ring was no simple matter — it wasn't something that could be done in a day or two.

Yet in just one day, Qiu Lingshan had actually led the entire criminal investigation unit out to make arrests! And the whole thieves' ring seemed to have lined up here waiting to be caught — from the Big Boss down to the rank and file, every last one of them was accounted for, not a single soul escaped!

"You keep watch here for now, I'm going over there!" Following the straight-line gap Giant Deer had opened up, Qiu Lingshan caught sight of Wei Zhao.

As Wei Zhao's little silly girl, having received his favor, she simply had to go thank him at the first opportunity. Qiu Lingshan knew very well that no matter how doted on she was, there was a limit — if she truly made Wei Zhao unhappy, she would have nothing at all!

Seeing the direction Qiu Lingshan was walking, Liu Wangli spotted Wei Zhao too, and could not help but start slightly!

Wei Zhao — what was he doing here?

Suddenly, Liu Wangli recalled that the first time the bank robbery case had been cracked, Wei Zhao had also appeared at the scene together with Qiu Lingshan. A vague guess began to form — could it be that Wei Zhao deserved some of the credit here?

The more he thought, the more likely it seemed! Otherwise, why would Wei Zhao happen to show up here of all places? And why would Qiu Lingshan be in such a hurry to see him?

Still, thinking of the rumors — that Wei Zhao was Qiu Lingshan's legendary boyfriend — even if Wei Zhao had a hand in helping, Liu Wangli found nothing improper about it! So what if a man helped his girlfriend crack a case?

It was only natural and right — and anyway, it was still a credit to Qiu Lingshan and her family; no one could snatch that away!

With that thought, Liu Wangli let it go. These matters were none of his concern anyway; he need only keep pace with Qiu Lingshan! Whether it was Qiu Lingshan's own ability that was strong or Wei Zhao's, it made no difference to him!

If Qiu Lingshan earned merit, he as her subordinate would benefit too. Stay close to Qiu Lingshan, and his future would be bright!

Wei Zhao saw Qiu Lingshan walking toward him as well, and smiled at her: "You didn't waste any time getting here?"

"Mm, thank you!" Qiu Lingshan glanced around — there were far too many people about, and she really could not bring herself to say something like "your little silly girl thanks you." It was too embarrassing! Better to wait for a moment when no one was around and whisper it quietly.
