Chapter 249 Rescue Li Wanqiu
The Kowloon Walled City was densely populated with people, and such a shocking movement had already attracted all the nearby residents. When everyone saw the second son of the Zhou family rushing out waving a kitchen knife, before they could even scream in fear, Yue Ning suddenly turned around as if he had eyes on his back, and the steel pipe in his hand broke through the air with a sharp wind sound, and there was only a loud "bang".
The second son of the Zhou family was hit so hard that his palms went numb. The kitchen knife flew out of his hand with a clang, and he hit the wall heavily with a dull thud. Then he slid to the ground and curled up into a ball, groaning in pain.
Yue Ning turned around slowly and stared down at the person on the ground: "If I didn't have some real skills, I would have been fed to wolves in the wilderness of the northwest!"
Zhou Afu, who was standing by, was still feeling distressed over his eldest son's injuries. He turned around and saw his youngest son's face was as pale as gold paper, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He was rolling on the ground with his arms hugged, his face full of pain.
At this moment, a burst of hurried and heavy footsteps came from outside the alley, and several policemen rushed in. Zhou Afu shouted for help at the top of his voice: "Sir, help me!"
Yue Ning calmly threw away the iron rod in his hand and raised his hands high: "Dahei, come here."
Dahei, who had been watching the surroundings vigilantly, immediately ran to her legs and rubbed his head against hers affectionately.
The police took out handcuffs, and Yue Ning cooperated very well and stretched out his hands. Seeing his master's hands were handcuffed, Dahei instantly became alert, and a low and fierce "woo woo woo" sound came out of his throat, and his eyes became sharp and stared at the police.
"Dahei, stop making trouble. This is a police officer. They are all good people!" Yue Ning looked down at it. "Be good. Go get the rope from my trouser pocket and ask the police officer to help you hold the rope."
Dahei turned his head to look at the policewoman, who subconsciously took a half step back, her eyes full of anxiety and vigilance. Dahei seemed to sense the other party's fear, and immediately shook his tail gently, and his originally fierce expression instantly became docile. He obediently pulled at Yue Ning's trouser legs, bit the rope out of Yue Ning's trouser pocket with his mouth, walked to the policewoman, raised his head, and shook his tail.
"Oh my God, this dog is so smart!" There was a burst of exclamations from the crowd.
"Yeah yeah!"
Yue Ning's face was full of pride: "That's right! Our Dahei is the smartest and most powerful girl!"
The policewoman took the rope and tied Dahei up. After tying him up, she couldn't help but touch Dahei's head gently. Dahei looked up at her with sparkling eyes, as if he was trying to show his good will to her.
At this moment, Yue Ning suddenly heard a faint noise coming from the inner room. She immediately turned to the police and said, "Sir, there should be two children in the room inside. Their mother is working the night shift outside. This place is a mess. Take the children back to the police station!"
The leading police officer frowned and snorted unhappily: "You beat someone up like this, and you still have the nerve to pretend to be a good person?"
The people watching the excitement around burst into laughter after hearing this.
Yue Ning looked calm: "My father and uncle taught me since I was a child that people should have a sense of justice and stand up bravely when encountering criminal behavior. Besides, isn't the Good Citizen Award established by Hong Kong City to encourage everyone to do what is right and stop crime?"
Her righteous words made the originally tense and tragic atmosphere at the scene less depressing.
Soon, paramedics rushed in with stretchers, lifted the two injured sons of the Zhou family onto the stretchers, and quickly sent them to the hospital. The police also brought out two terrified children from the inner room, along with the young boy who had just raised a kitchen knife and Zhou Afu, and took them back to the police station for investigation.
"I asked Zhou Guohua to take Li Wanqiu to Yangrong Hospital. Was he there?" Yue Ning asked.
"It's delivered, don't worry." The policeman replied simply.
"Thank you!" Yue Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief. When she walked out of the fortress, she saw Qiao Junxian and Grandpa waiting outside anxiously. Yue Ning smiled and raised her handcuffed hands, shouting, "Junxian, Grandpa, Dahei and I are fine! Don't worry!"
Dahei also barked twice excitedly and wagged his tail happily.
Afterwards, Yue Ning was taken to the police car, and the policewoman also got in with Da Hei. Along the way, Da Hei looked up at Yue Ning from time to time, and gently rubbed her trouser legs with his mouth, as if he was acting coquettish. Yue Ning said lovingly: "Don't rub it, I know you like to be clean. When we get home, I will wash you and make you smell good, okay?"
The policewoman asked curiously, "Does it really like to be clean?"
"That's right! When we were in the northwest, it took baths more diligently than I did. Every time we passed by a stream while herding sheep, it would jump in and splash around for a while."
The policewoman looked at Dahei with a smile on her face and couldn't help but praise him: "What a capable and clean girl. When we get back to the police station, I'll wash you clean, too, okay?"
Dahei seemed to understand what the policewoman said and wagged his tail happily, causing the policewoman to exclaim: "It really understands!"
The police car sped all the way and soon arrived at the police station.
As soon as Yue Ning got out of the car, a large group of reporters rushed over, snapping photos of her in handcuffs. The reporters put their microphones in front of her and asked her questions. Seeing this, the police hurriedly stepped forward to stop the reporters, refused the interview, and took Yue Ning straight to the police station.
The police station was filled with the pungent smell of tobacco, making it hard to breathe. Seeing that he was about to separate from Yue Ning, Dahei suddenly became restless, whimpering softly and trying hard to get closer to Yue Ning.
"It also needs to cooperate in collecting evidence," the policewoman explained.
Yue Ning squatted down and looked into Dahei's eyes gently: "Dahei, go with the police sister and be good. I will come to pick you up when I'm done." Dahei seemed reluctant, but still obediently followed the policewoman.
Yue Ning was taken into the interrogation room, where a Chinese policeman and a foreign policeman sat. The Chinese policeman spread out the recording paper, picked up the ballpoint pen, and began to record with a serious look.
Yue Ning started by talking about her last encounter with Zhou Guohua and Li Wanqiu on the train from Yuecheng to Pengcheng. She said that they enthusiastically helped her carry potatoes and took the initiative to help the old lady on the train with her luggage. These kind deeds made her feel good about them. So when Zhou Guohua came to her house for help today, she agreed to save Li Wanqiu without a second thought.
"I know that Kowloon Walled City is a mixed bag and the situation is special. Moreover, Zhou Guohua's personal documents were taken away by the Zhou father and son. I was worried that something might happen to Li Wanqiu, so I decided to go and rescue her myself and call the police at the same time." Yue Ning explained seriously.
After the interrogation was over and she signed the form, the police told her that, at the moment, she was trying to save people, but the Zhou brothers were seriously injured and according to procedure, she and Dahei needed to be temporarily detained.
This was the first time in Yue Ning's life that she was locked up. Unexpectedly, she also implicated Da Hei in a "crime" with her. Fortunately, they were locked up in the same room.
This room is a big dormitory with quite a lot of space. It looks like it can accommodate more than a dozen people. But there is only one person and one dog locked up there, probably to take care of her.
Yue Ning lay on the hard bed, reaching out to touch Dahei's smooth fur. It seemed that the policewoman had already given it a bath. No matter how simple this place was, could it be worse than her hometown in the northwest? Thinking of this, she hugged Dahei and gradually closed her eyes.
When she was sleeping soundly, Dahei suddenly struggled to stand up from her arms, ran quickly to the iron gate, looked up at the window, and made a rapid "woohoo" sound. Yue Ning was awakened, yawned in a daze, and sat up.
At this moment, the iron gate was opened with a clang, and two policemen stood at the door and said expressionlessly: "You can go out now."
"What time is it now?" Yue Ning asked, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"Four in the morning," the policeman replied briefly.
Yue Ning walked out of the correctional facility with Dahei, and immediately saw Qiao Junxian anxiously waiting outside. Qiao Junxian ran over immediately after seeing her coming out. Yue Ning muttered, "Why are you in such a hurry? It won't be too late to pick us up after daybreak. I'm already asleep."
This little pig can really sleep. Qiao Junxian doesn't know what his busy schedule means? He poked her head and said, "Pig. Lawyer Zhang has been busy all night to get you bailed out, and grandpa is also very anxious at home, but you can sleep."
Yue Ning quickly explained: "I just thought that everyone has worked hard and should have a good rest. It's okay for me to stay in there for one night. It's not like I haven't stayed in places with poor conditions before."
Qiao Junxian squatted down, touched Dahei's head, and pretended to be angry and said, "Dahei, you have suffered. Your sister is brainless, why don't you have brains too?"
"Qiao Junxian, who are you calling reckless? I'm brave and resourceful!" Yue Ning became anxious upon hearing this.
Qiao Junxian shook his head helplessly, holding Dahei with one hand and Yue Ning with the other, and said, "Okay, hurry up and get in the car. Grandpa hasn't slept yet and has been waiting at home!"
"I asked Brother Zhiyuan to find some reporters to follow and film the incident. With their testimony, we can definitely make things clear." Yue Ning said proudly.
Qiao Junxian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Do you need to find a reporter? A reporter has already photographed you bringing a strange man into your house. The 9 o'clock news reported that you were having a night out with a strange man. The heat of this matter hasn't even died down yet, and HTV has reported that you beat someone up in Kowloon Walled City. Now the whole city knows about it!"
Yue Ning's face was full of pride: "See, I said reporters can serve as witnesses! By the way, how is Sister Wanqiu now?"
"He's covered with wounds, but he was very frightened. His mental state is very bad and he's been in a daze the whole time." Qiao Junxian said with a sigh.
Yue Ning's heart suddenly tightened, and he asked hurriedly: "Then she...she wasn't violated, right?"
"The journalists got the news that Wanqiu was beautiful and Zhou Afu wanted to sell her for a good price, so they didn't dare to touch her for the time being. But the torture she's endured in the past few days is enough..." Qiao Junxian said, and sighed heavily, "It's a blessing in disguise that she was rescued safely."
The car soon arrived downstairs of their house. Not only was Grandpa Yue Baohua waiting there, but there was also a large group of reporters. Grandpa held a lit brazier in one hand and a pomelo leaf in the other, waiting with a concerned look on his face. Yue Ning followed the custom and stepped over the brazier to ward off bad luck with the pomelo leaf. As soon as she turned around, she was surrounded by reporters. Countless microphones and cameras were pointed at her, and the flashes of the cameras went off and on, sometimes taking pictures of Yue Ning, and sometimes aiming at Dahei who was squatting obediently at her feet.
In response to the reporter's questions, Yue Ning once again recounted how he decided to rescue Li Wanqiu because of an encounter on the train.
"Ms. Yue, don't you think it's too reckless for you to break into the Kowloon Walled City alone? It's a place full of all kinds of people and it's very dangerous!" a reporter asked.
Yue Ning shook his head firmly and explained seriously: "How could it be reckless? The last time I went to the police station, I met Brother Long because I kicked a gangster's kidney until it burst. This time I asked him to bring people to guard the perimeter of the city wall, just in case."
"Since you have friends to help, why don't you just let them rescue the people? Why do you have to go there in person?" the reporter asked.
"Brother Long and I are purely friends. If I let him take people in to rescue people, the nature of the situation will change and it will be regarded as a power struggle within the Kowloon Walled City. I hope to solve the problem through legal means and do not want to make things more complicated." Yue Ning explained patiently.
Another reporter asked: "Since you want to take legal action, why didn't you call the police right away and let them handle it?"
Yue Ning looked at the reporter with an incredible look and said, "I called the police! Otherwise, how could the police arrive in time? But everyone knows what Kowloon Walled City is. It's complicated and it's not easy for the police to go in and investigate. The situation in Wanqiu is critical and we can't wait!"
Seeing that Yue Ning looked exhausted, Qiao Junxian hurried forward to help: "Sorry, Ningning is very tired. Let her go home and rest. If you have any questions, we can interview her another day." As he said that, he protected Yue Ning and Dahei and finally squeezed out of the crowd.
After returning home, Yue Ning ate a bite of the pork trotter noodles made by her grandfather, washed up briefly, and climbed into bed and fell asleep. She slept very soundly until the alarm clock at the bedside showed 11 o'clock in the afternoon, then she woke up.
She got out of bed and turned on the TV. Before she could change the channel, she heard the host's excited voice: "Exclusive tracking, Miss Yue Ning, the protagonist of the Kowloon Walled City incident that shocked Hong Kong last night, is still on bail..." Yue Ning lay back on the bed and watched TV. The screen switched to the Yangrong Hospital, and Li Wanqiu's pale and weak face appeared on the screen: "If it weren't for Miss Yue, I might have been..." At this point, Li Wanqiu choked up and couldn't continue.
Yue Ning was watching intently when she suddenly heard a familiar "woof woof" coming from the door. She knew it was Dahei calling her, and he must have noticed that she was awake.
Yue Ning opened the door and slowly brushed her teeth and washed her face. She walked into the kitchen, where a thick porridge base was cooked in a casserole, and sliced meat and shrimp were neatly placed on the stove. She cooked a bowl of seafood porridge, brought it to the living room, and turned on the TV.
There were a few newspapers on the table, probably bought by Grandpa when he took Dahei out for a walk that morning. She picked up a Hengtong newspaper and saw the front page clearly saying "Yue Ning breaks into Kowloon Walled City at night" and a photo of her in handcuffs that was enlarged to cover the entire page.
She turned to the next newspaper: "Yue Ning admitted to colluding with underworld forces?" The article distorted what she said in a previous interview, and described her normal friendship with Brother Long as a secret collusion.
At this moment, a street interview began to play on TV. A group of middle school students in school uniforms held up newspapers and shouted excitedly: "Ningning is so handsome! We support you!"
A passerby in a suit and tie frowned and criticized seriously: "Lynching is not advisable. No matter what, the law should be used to deal with the problem."
Then, a housewife appeared in the picture, her face full of smiles, her tone excited: "I am completely in love with Ningning's Dahei now! How can there be such a cute dog? When it is fierce, it is majestic, and when it is well-behaved, you can't help but want to hug it. I love it so much!"
Suddenly, a harsh voice was heard, and a passerby in the picture said with disgust: "Most of the crime problems in Hong Kong are caused by these mainlanders. I just want to ask, can we build a wall to stop them and stop them from coming over?"
