After saying this, Jiang Qiao swayed, which suddenly gave Feng Lan, who was still somewhat uncertain, a godlike confidence. Judging from the other party's appearance, she was obviously in poor health and sickly. If she couldn't beat her, she would really have no authority in front of these people in the future.
"Hmph, don't play dumb with me. You weren't like this just now. If you want to fight, then fight. If you lose, don't try to deny it. And who exactly are you?"
Jiang Qiao opened the kettle and took a sip of water. "Who am I? I'll tell you in a bit. For now, you're not qualified to know. Go ahead and do it. Winning or losing doesn't matter, as long as you're prepared to compensate me."
The other young women snorted, "You're obviously trying to extort us. Humph, do you really think we're scared? This time, we'll show you how powerful our captain is. Don't worry, we'll go to your house to apologize later."
Jiang Qiao saw Feng Lan turn her head and whisper a few words to the sparrow before walking over.
"Go ahead and hit me. If you get hit, don't blame me. You can only blame yourself for not being good enough."
Jiang Qiao smiled at the other person and said, "I'll say the same thing to you."
Thinking that those people would gang up on her? Dream on! Jiang Qiao didn't even give them that chance. After two rounds, Feng Lan was kicked to the ground.
The crucial point is that Feng Lan, who was lying on the ground, was being pointed at by a bright silver needle in Jiang Qiao's hand, and she couldn't move at all.
"You, you used a weapon—"
Jiang Qiao snorted coldly, "I kicked you with my leg, and now I'm using silver needles to tell you not to let the others come up. If they do, they'll just get beaten up. I don't know what your mentality is, but going back on your word is just being a despicable person."
"Hey sparrows, just now, did Feng Lan order you all to gang up on me?"
Seeing Jiang Qiao's silver needles pointing at her, Jiajiaque was stunned. "Me? How do you know my nickname? You? You're Jiang Qiao, the hero Jiang Qiao, right?"
Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile to the stunned crowd in front of her, "I didn't expect anyone to still recognize me. It's not easy."
However, Feng Lan would not admit that the person in front of her was Jiang Qiao; otherwise, what would she be, having been beaten for nothing?
"No, she's a liar, she's a bad person, arrest her—"
At this moment, Zhao Anbang, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "She is Jiang Qiao. I met her many years ago when she was participating in a merit award ceremony. Back then, she was attacked by enemy agents and lay in bed for four years."
Jiang Qiao, I'm so happy to see you again.
"Feng Lan, you must be resentful, but unfortunately, Jiang Qiao has already shown you mercy. If she wanted to, you would have been down in a single blow. A person needs to have some self-awareness."
Feng Lan tried to fight back while Jiang Qiao was talking, but Jiang Qiao kicked her to the ground again.
"Too late! Men, tie Feng Lan up!"
The people surrounding her looked at each other, wondering who Jiang Qiao was talking to, but no one paid any attention to her.
"Reporting, Comrade Jiang Qiao, we're late. You must have been frightened—"
Jiang Qiao greeted the group of people who ran over with a smile, "You guys have worked hard. Help Comrade Zhao into the car. Also, tie this person up."
Some people tried to stop them, but upon seeing their attire, they automatically and consciously made way.
After Feng Lan was tied up, Zhao Anbang got into the car. Jiang Qiao said to the still stunned people, "Everyone heard about the bet I made with Feng Lan. No one objected. Now, as agreed, everyone get in the car. We can talk about it when we get back."
And all of you, give it to me—”
The people outside quickly waved their hands, saying, "This has nothing to do with us. We're just assisting Feng Lan and her team. Besides, we're not under Feng Lan's jurisdiction. Your bet didn't include us."
Jiang Qiao glared and unleashed her aura, making even those people feel a little frightened.
"I don't care who you are. Zhao Anbang's case is still unresolved. It involves classified information and enemy agents. Go back and assist in the investigation. If you dare not cooperate, you will be treated as having problems."
"You're all fine. Once the investigation is complete, you'll be out of the picture. But until the investigation is complete, no one is allowed to leave. Get in the car, now, immediately—"
Some were unwilling to obey, but when they saw the things Jiang Qiao took out, they all obediently got into the car.
Jiang Qiao instructed several soldiers to escort the goods in the back vehicle, while she drove the two vehicles, one in front of the other, back home.
The people on the bus felt like they were dreaming. How could someone who looked so frail suddenly become so powerful?
And this person they thought was a stranger was actually the legendary Jiang Qiao. It felt so unreal; that amazing young girl was right beside them, standing right in front of them.
"Hey, is that really Jiang Qiao?"
Jiajia Que sighed, "If my memory serves me right, she should be Jiang Qiao. Although the photo is from a few years ago, she hasn't changed much. She's just a little thinner than before, but she's still very beautiful."
When you saw her photo back then, didn't you all say the same thing? That it was the first time you'd seen such a beautiful hero, and so young! Don't you all remember her?
This immediately brought back everyone's memories. "Yeah, she's even prettier in person than in the photos. How did she end up here? Oh my god, were we being really unfriendly to her before? What are we going to do?"
"Sigh, what can we do? We lost the bet before, and now the other party is Jiang Qiao. What can we do? We can only listen to what they say."
At least Feng Lan has her godfather, mother, and brother to protect her. Who will protect us? We might even get a beating from our parents when we get home.”
There were also some more ambitious people who said, "Tell me, how come Jiang Qiao is so amazing? She defeated Feng Lan in just two rounds. How did she learn her kung fu? Can we learn a few moves from her?"
The person who was feeling anxious and stressed glanced at the carefree person next to them and gave a wry smile.
"Then go ask Jiang Qiao. We wouldn't dare. Luckily we didn't rush in. That would be so brainless. If we had gone, we would have just been used as practice targets."
I used to think we were so amazing, but now I finally understand what my dad meant when he said there are always people more capable than us and heavens beyond heavens. That's what you call a true master who doesn't show off.
"Look at that! That's real skill from him right away. No wonder Feng Lan couldn't outmaneuver him. I heard Jiang Qiao was an excellent student back then."
Jiang Qiao had no idea that the people in the carriage were actually discussing her. Following the car in front, they drove all the way to their destination, where Song Shutian was waiting at the intersection, looking in their direction.
He didn't expect the car to return so quickly; it seems Jiang Qiao has resolved all the issues.
Upon seeing the people getting out of the car, Song Shutian quickly ran a few steps.
"Comrade Zhao, how are you now? I'm late—"
Zhao Anbang held Song Shutian's hand for a long time before choking back tears, saying, "I knew you would come. It's not too late, it's never too late. As long as you're here, that's good. Let's talk again when we get back—"
