Chapter 31: Acting Bravely
"Huo Yanshen, be careful behind you!" Yang Mian's eyes suddenly shrank, and the madly approaching truck was reflected in her pupils. She was so anxious that she shouted at the top of her lungs.
In an instant, her hands danced quickly like nimble butterflies, she muttered something, and performed the secret technique of Xuanmen.
I saw a mysterious circle emitting faint light slowly appearing in the air. The circle expanded rapidly as if it had life, and in a flash, it tightly enveloped the huge truck that was like a runaway horse.
A strange force surged out from the circle, and the truck suddenly stopped just inches away from Huo Yanshen.
The tires rubbed violently against the ground, making a sharp and piercing sound, as if metal was scraping against each other, which made people's scalps numb.
At the same time, a choking dust rose from the ground and filled the air, making people cough uncontrollably.
Yang Mian's figure flashed like a black lightning, and he instantly came to Huo Yanshen's side at lightning speed.
She stretched out her hands. Although her hands were slender, they were full of strength at this moment. She pulled Huo Yanshen aside.
Her movements were urgent and cautious, fearing that she would hurt Huo Yanshen. Her eyes were full of concern and worry, and she asked anxiously, "Are you okay? Are you scared?"
In her previous life, Yang Mian’s husband was a weak scholar who was powerless, so in this life, she subconsciously regarded Huo Yanshen in front of her as a weak person who needed her to protect with her life.
In his previous life, Huo Yanshen was a talented and kind-hearted scholar.
Yang Mian was attracted by his temperament.
Huo Yanshen calmed his mind, his rapid breathing gradually slowed down, he looked up at Yang Mian, his eyes also full of worry, and said: "I'm fine, how about you? Are you okay?"
Yang Mian shook her head gently, her hair swaying with the movement, and her voice was filled with a bit of urgency after surviving a disaster: "It's okay."
Huo Yanshen frowned slightly, his tone carrying some unquestionable concern: "Don't rush over like this next time, it's too dangerous."
"I know what's going on." Yang Mian's eyes were as sharp as a blade. He looked at the truck coldly with murderous intent in his eyes. "That truck was heading towards you on purpose. Someone wants to kill you."
Damn it, how dare you attack someone I care about! Yang Mian vowed not to give up if the matter was not thoroughly investigated today.
Yang Mian stared at the man driving the truck through the car window. He exuded an icy aura, as if the temperature around him had dropped a few degrees.
She knew very well that as a member of the Xuanmen, she could not kill mortals at will. The laws of heaven could not be violated. Once violated, one would be punished by heaven.
However, this man had murderous intentions towards Huo Yanshen and he must not be forgiven easily.
You can escape the death penalty, but you can’t escape the living punishment!
Yang Mian closed her eyes, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly. She concentrated all her energy and used mystical techniques to explore the man's past.
After a moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of her mouth. She snorted coldly: "Oh, it turns out to be a murderer."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Mian flashed and came to the side of the truck like a ghost. He stretched out his hand like a pair of pliers, tightly grasped the man's collar, and directly pulled the man off the car, followed by a violent beating.
Her fists were filled with anger, and each blow landed heavily on the man, making a dull sound.
The man was beaten so badly that he had no power to fight back. He could only roll and struggle on the ground in pain, screaming in agony.
It's not that he didn't want to escape, but the truck that was immobilized by the mysterious technique didn't move at all, as if it was nailed to the ground, and he couldn't even move a step.
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me!" The man kept begging for mercy in a crying voice, his voice full of fear.
However, Yang Mian was filled with anger and murderous intent at this moment, and it was a completely one-sided crushing.
The anger in her heart was like a raging fire, and the fire would not go out until this man's evil deeds were thoroughly settled.
"Huo Yanshen, call the police, arrest him!" Yang Mian turned around and shouted to Huo Yanshen while beating the man, with an unquestionable firmness in his voice, "He is a wanted criminal by the police!"
Huo Yanshen was still shocked at how skilled Yang Mian was, but when he heard her speak, he quickly took out his cell phone to call the police.
Seeing this, the man who was subdued by Yang Mian was still determined to steal the phone. He stood up suddenly and tried to rush over to snatch the phone.
Yang Mian was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed the man's wrist and applied a little force. With a "click", the man's hand was broken.
"Ah... it hurts, it hurts." The man cried out in pain, cold sweat pouring down his face, his expression distorted with agony.
“Behave yourself.” Yang Mian scolded, his voice as cold as ice, as if it came from the Netherworld.
After Huo Yanshen reported the incident to the police, he stared at the man with a sharp gaze and asked, "Who sent you?"
The man's eyes dodged, like a frightened mouse, and he stammered, "I don't know what you are talking about. I was just driving a little faster, and I didn't mean to hit you to death."
Huo Yanshen sneered, with a sharp look in his eyes: "I just asked you who sent you here, but I didn't say you wanted to kill me. You are confessing yourself."
“I, I, I…” The man’s voice trembled and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"It was that woman Xing Sujie who asked you to come here!" Huo Yanshen pressed forward step by step, the cold light in his eyes making the man shudder.
Xing Sujie is the eldest lady of the Huo family. She usually pretends to be dignified and virtuous, but she has a very vicious heart.
It must be that he exposed Xing Sujie's secret that night, and Xing Sujie held a grudge against him and wanted to find someone to kill him.
Xing Sujie's family is one of the four major families. If one wants to completely bring her down, that information is not enough.
But that information could create a distance between Grandpa and her, which was probably a good thing.
The man was stubborn and still resisted: "I don't know."
"Then go to the police station and stay there." Huo Yanshen's tone left no room for doubt. This man must pay the price for what he did.
Soon, people from the police station arrived.
When the leading police officer saw the man, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he confirmed that he was the wanted criminal that the police station wanted to arrest.
"Young man, young girl, you helped catch the criminal today and performed a great deed. Our bureau will reward you well. Why don't you leave your contact information so that I can ask the bureau to present you with a flag for bravery." The police officer had a smile on his face and his eyes were full of approval.
Yang Mian blinked his eyes and said seriously, "Uncle policeman, can the award flag be exchanged for prize money? I'm short of money."
The police officer didn't expect Yang Mian to say this. He was slightly stunned, then burst into laughter: "Ah...hahahaha, the little girl is really honest."
Yang Mian asked again, "Is it okay?" His eyes were full of anticipation.
"I have to tell my boss about this. How about this? Leave me your contact information and bank card number. I'll contact you after your boss approves it. How about that?" the police officer explained patiently.
"Okay." Yang Mian agreed readily and left his contact information and bank card to the police.
