Then, Xu Chen walked towards the surrounding crowd.
"Everyone, did you just record a video?"
"No."
"No, no."
"No, let's go, son."
The surrounding crowd immediately changed their tune and denied everything. Xu Chen had no choice but to shout, "Whoever filmed the whole thing, please send me a copy. I'll pay you 500 yuan." A minute later, Xu Chen received a video that clearly recorded Li Qiangsheng and his men beating him, including the entire process of them hitting him with steel rods.
"Gentlemen, are you familiar with this scoundrel? Does anyone know anything about him and can tell me? It's worth five hundred yuan."
This caused a complete uproar among the surrounding crowd.
Are you going to investigate him?
"Your Excellency the Imperial Envoy? Are you the Imperial Envoy from the capital?"
"What era are we living in? Imperial envoys? Hello, I know."
"I know that too."
"We all pretty much know that."
Xu Chen nodded, borrowed paper and pen from the barbecue stall, and began recording information one by one. Those willing to leave their phone numbers as witnesses did so. During this time, Li Qiangsheng tried to escape, but Xu Chen went over and broke his leg. Hearing the cheers of the surrounding crowd, he smiled and continued recording. Seeing this, Qin Yi proactively gave away the grilled squid that hadn't sold due to Li Qiangsheng and his gang's disruption to those willing to testify. This round of giving totaled 7,500 yuan, and that was only after the onlookers knew about it.
"Okay, thank you everyone, thank you." Xu Chen bowed to the crowd, frowned as he glanced at the various new evidence and information he had obtained in his notebook and on his phone, then took off his coat, revealing his military uniform.
"A soldier? No wonder, I knew it, how could such a handsome young man be blinded by love?"
"Look, he has a gun."
"Oh right, young man, are you allowed to carry a gun?"
"Uncle, he has two bars and three stars, look at his shoulder insignia."
Xu Chen drew his sidearm, cocked it, released the safety, and aimed it at Li Qiangsheng, who was trying to escape. The surrounding crowd was startled and retreated.
"Gentlemen, don't be afraid. A soldier's gun is only pointed at the enemy, the bad guys, and himself. If I don't execute this heinous bastard today and rid the people of this scourge, I am not worthy of wearing this uniform."
Immediately afterward, a gunshot rang out, and Li Qiangsheng was shot in the head, falling to the ground with a thud. Xu Chen holstered his sidearm, bowed to the crowd, and then turned to walk towards Qin Yi. Behind him, cheers erupted.
Are you scared?
"No, I'm not scared." Qin Yi took a step back in fear, which reminded Xu Chen of that song, "Your action of taking half a step back is recognition..." He took out a bank card with five million in pocket money inside.
"Do you remember the girl you rescued in the woods that day?"
Qin Yi immediately recalled the scene from that day; after all, the girl was covered in blood, a sight too painful to behold.
"I didn't... I didn't save her, I just lent her my phone."
“By lending you the phone, you saved her life. I am her brother. She is currently undergoing treatment and cannot come to see you, so she asked me to come and check on you.”
"So it's just my older sister." Qin Yi's disappointment vanished instantly. She looked up at Xu Chen and saw him gazing at her tenderly. She became nervous and blushed, saying, "Okay... no, you're welcome."
"Here's five million. I've pasted the PIN on the back of the card. Keep it safe and study hard." Xu Chen stuffed the card into Qin Yi's hand. Just as Qin Yi was about to refuse, several police cars and a military vehicle suddenly appeared. The military vehicle took Xu Chen away, and after the police collected the body, they demanded that the public delete the video and evacuated the crowd.
