Chapter 32
Late at night, when the flashlight shines into people's eyes, they subconsciously cover their eyes.
"Take out the money, or don't blame us for being rude." The fierce shouting came along with the light of the flashlight, and it was particularly clear in the dark night.
Sun Tieshu pulled Qin Xiang behind him and looked across. There were four muscular men looking at the three of them viciously.
When they saw Qin Xiang's face, they were all surprised.
One of them whistled, "I didn't expect there's a little beauty here. Little beauty, come and have a good chat with your brother."
The others also burst into laughter.
Qin Xiang was a little worried and whispered to Sun Tieshu, "Brother Sun, let's abandon the car and run back. I'll compensate you for it later."
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy." Sun Tieshu has been driving for so many years and has encountered all kinds of problems. He knows Qin Xiang has made money and is waiting here specifically. How could he let them go so easily?
When I turned around, I saw two men blocking the way not far away.
There were only three of them, a woman and a child. The only one who could really fight was probably Sun Tieshu, while the other side had five people.
A man on the other side yelled, "Take out your money and put it on the ground, or I'll make you pay."
While they were talking, people on both sides began to walk towards Qin Xiang and the others, their eyes fixed on the shoulder bag hanging on Qin Xiang's waist.
It was filled with money from today's market sale. It was bulging with more than three thousand yuan in it.
"Brother Sun, then we can only give money."
Qin Xiang was reluctant to part with the money, as it cost over 500 pieces of clothing, not to mention the original cost. But she couldn't let her helpers, Sun Tieshu and Mi Hongjun, get beaten for nothing just for the money.
Sun Tieshu frowned and thought quickly, but this was out in the wilderness and no one would probably hear them even if they shouted.
"Those who know the situation better take it out, otherwise we won't be responsible if you lose limbs."
Another one also said, "Yes, you are so good at making money, just go to the market tomorrow to make more money. We brothers are not well off at home and need money, so you should just consider it as a good deed."
Hearing this, Qin Xiang suddenly looked up at the group and asked, "Did someone invite you here?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? No one invited us here. We saw it at the market." One of the men defended.
"Stop talking nonsense and hand over the money to avoid getting beaten."
Qin Xiang didn't believe this. If she hadn't known in advance that they were taking this road, how could they have been stuck here by such a coincidence?
Qin Xiang's heart was bleeding, but there was nothing she could do, so she took off the bag.
Sun Tieshu grabbed her arm and said, "I'll break through from behind, and Xiaomi and I will hold them back. You take the money and run. We'll go to the city and report to the police."
"Yes, Sister Xiangxiang, you listen to Brother Sun." Mi Hongjun had never seen such a scene before, and he was terrified. But when he thought about the money in the bag, which was the result of their day's work, he couldn't bear to give it up. He gritted his teeth and said bravely, "Sister Xiangxiang, run out and call for help."
Qin Xiang looked at those men with ferocious looks, but she couldn't agree. "If you lose money, you can earn it again. But you can't let anything happen to your life."
Sun Tieshu is a truck driver and the pillar of the Sun family. The whole family depends on Sun Tieshu. If something happens to Sun Tieshu, how can she explain to Aunt Hu? Even Mi Hongjun is so young, she dare not gamble on the humanity of those people.
She shook her head, "Give me money."
She threw her bag directly to the ground and said to the men opposite, "Can you please let us go?"
The people on the opposite side didn't expect Qin Xiang to give so readily, and they thought they would have to fight today.
The leader nodded, "Of course you can go."
As he spoke, he made way for Qin Xiang and said, "If you want to stay, that's fine. I can give you half of the money."
"Bah. Don't push your luck." Qin Xiang looked at him and gritted her teeth. "You robbed the money, that's all. You took the money, and there's no mark on it. If you dare to touch us, you'll be murdering us. If we hurt a finger, you'll be wanted by the police tomorrow."
After saying that, she gestured to Sun Tieshu and Mi Hongjun to follow her and move forward.
Sun Tieshu pursed his lips tightly, feeling very cowardly, but they really couldn't beat these people. If Qin Yang was here, it would be great. These few scoundrels would really be nothing to look at.
Just at this moment, the man in front was suddenly kicked from behind and fell forward to the ground.
"Fuck it, which bastard dares to hit your uncle?" The robber cursed and stood up from the ground. Others also reacted and looked at the culprit.
Qin Xiang looked up in surprise and saw Qin Yang waving at several people with a stick in his hand.
Before she could react, Sun Tieshu grabbed the shoulder bag and stuffed it into her hand, then pushed her out of the way. "It's okay as long as your third brother is here. Go call for help."
As he spoke, Sun Tieshu also shouted Mi Hongjun and rushed towards those people.
Qin Xiang was pushed out. Looking back, he saw his third brother waving a stick and fighting fiercely with those people. He did not look like he was at a disadvantage, so he felt relieved.
She yelled, "Third brother, don't kill anyone."
After saying that, Qin Xiang ran forward. She had to call for help and report to the police. She couldn't let such a person go unpunished.
She ran very fast. After running for a while, she suddenly heard other footsteps behind her. She turned around and was scared to see that it was a man she had not seen before who was staring at her and chasing her. It was only because she ran fast that the other party could not catch up with her.
Qin Xiang gritted her teeth and ran forward. The man behind her snorted, "You'd better be smart and give me the money. Otherwise, if I catch up with you, it won't just be a simple demand for money."
"Give it to your father." Qin Xiang refused to give it to him. She ran very fast in the middle of the night. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a stone on the side of the road. She quickly squatted down, picked up the stone, and smashed it on the head of the man who was chasing her. The man reacted and stretched out his hand to block her arm.
Qin Xiang couldn't move her arms. The man held her arms and sighed, "What a beauty."
The obscene look in his eyes made Qin Xiang feel disgusted.
She raised her foot and kicked out quickly, one kick after another. The man did not expect this woman to be so wild. He could block the upper part but not the lower part, and was kicked by Qin Xiang in an instant.
The man was kicked in the most vulnerable part. Qin Xiang's kick was quite powerful. The man immediately bent over in pain, veins popped out on his forehead, and he looked at Qin Xiang with gritted teeth, "You, bitch!"
"You bastard." Qin Xiang picked it up and turned around to smash it on the man's kneecap. The man fell directly to the ground. Qin Xiang quickly untied the scarf from around his neck, pinned the man down, and tied his hands and feet together. "Just wait for me."
Qin Xiang looked to the distance, but she could no longer see her third brother and the others. She breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she couldn't panic, and ran forward quickly.
There was a town ahead. Qin Xiang had never been there, but there was a police officer on duty at the police station. She quickly ran over, knocked on the window, and called the person on duty to explain the situation.
The police officer was stunned at first, then blew his whistle and called out, "Emergency, assemble."
There were only four police officers on night duty at the police station. Qin Xiang said, "There are six of them in total."
The police officer frowned and said, "You go ahead, I'll go call for help."
The four policemen brought their full equipment and asked Qin Xiang to lead the way as they quickly headed back and forth.
Qin Xiang was sweating all over after running late at night, and her legs were exhausted. Two of the police officers rode bicycles and asked Qin Xiang to get on, saying, "Let's ride over there."
The road was uneven and bumpy at that time. The police comrades wore flashlights on their heads and rode their bikes very fast.
"What's going on?"
Qin Xiang then told them everything that had just happened. "We don't know how they knew we were coming this way. It was quite sudden, but from what they said, it seems someone told them. We're not locals, we're just stopping here temporarily. We were supposed to leave tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, the police fell silent. They had only stopped temporarily for two days, but they still went to the market to sell things to make money. Are all self-employed individuals so hardworking?
After the car drove for a while, Qin Xiang said, "The last person who chased me should be here."
However, the police shone their flashlights but saw no one on the road.
Qin Xiang thought of the man's appearance when she left, and always felt that he couldn't run far.
Several police officers followed and searched around with flashlights. Suddenly, one of them said, "There are traces here."
Two police officers went to look for this, while the other two took Qin Xiang and continued to run forward.
The closer you get, the more obvious the sounds of ghosts and wolves howling become.
Qin Xiang shuddered, worried that something might happen to his third brother and the others. The public security officer said, "Don't turn on the flashlight yet, to prevent them from running away."
The closer he got, the more worried Qin Xiang became, and his hands began to tremble.
She couldn't imagine what she would do if something happened to her third brother and the others.
When they got closer, the police stopped the car and shone their flashlights over there.
The light from the two flashlights was enough to see the situation at the scene clearly.
Qin Xiang was stunned, and then she was delighted.
She ran over and hugged Qin Yang, "Third brother, you are okay, I'm so glad."
She looked Qin Yang up and down and found that he had no injuries on his body, and she felt relieved immediately.
"Sister Xiangxiang, I'm injured." Mi Hongjun's aggrieved voice came from the side.
Qin Xiang then looked at Mi Hongjun. His face was swollen from the beating and his leg was limping. "Are your legs injured?"
Sun Tieshu laughed heartily. "That kid, I told him to stay away, but he wasn't nimble enough and got punched and fell into the ditch."
Qin Xiang: "...I'm glad you're okay."
Mi Hongjun: “…” How embarrassing.
Public Security Comrade: “…” Where are the robbers?
Only then did Qin Xiang look at the people wailing on the ground. Not only were they beaten black and blue, but they were also tied up. A closer look revealed the things they were tied up with...
Well, these are all the leftover nylon socks from today.
These socks are really strong enough to tie up these people.
Qin Xiang tried to find a way to cheer herself up and thought that this would be an advantage when selling socks in the future.
Seeing the police wearing big hats coming, the robbers became obedient and even started to make excuses saying it was a misunderstanding.
But how could the police listen to their nonsense? They just untied their socks and put on handcuffs.
A police officer said to Qin Yang, "You three took down five people?"
Qin Yang replied indifferently, feeling unhappy. He was thinking about what would have happened if his sister hadn't come out to pick them up because of his concern.
Mi Hongjun was already gesticulating and explaining the situation to the police, who were overwhelmed. "Alright, come with us to the police station to explain the situation and take a statement. We'll talk about it there."
Qin Xiang went over and pulled the cart, letting Mi Hongjun sit in it. She whispered, "I'm really sorry for making you suffer today. I'll give you compensation later."
When Mi Hongjun heard about the compensation, his eyes lit up, "Sister Xiangxiang, I'm fine now."
Qin Xiang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
At this time, the two police officers also came over, dragging a person behind them.
Qin Yang was shocked and looked at Qin Xiang. Qin Xiang said, "Third brother, I'm fine. You are very powerful. I am your sister, so I am also very powerful."
But the other party is still covering that place, so you can tell where he was kicked at a glance.
A police officer said, "I think he can't walk anymore. Can you let him take your cart first?"
It has to be done no matter what. It's quite late now. Otherwise, if this person keeps walking like this, there's no telling when he'll get to the police station.
If Qin Yang really had to make a decision, he would have just dragged the man along with the rope and walked behind him, but he also wanted to resolve the issue quickly, so he could only stare at the man and watch him being thrown onto the cart.
Mi Hongjun looked at the other person and said, "Serves you right. It would be better if it were broken."
Everyone present was a little embarrassed, and several police officers looked at Qin Xiang with admiration.
This is an incredible lesbian, she's really good at kicking people.
Sun Tieshu secretly said to Qin Yang, "Your sister is quite capable. Did she kick out your ex-brother-in-law when she got divorced?"
"You're looking for a fight, aren't you?" Qin Yang glared at Sun Tieshu, who laughed and walked forward.
As for the robber who was kicked, he had no desire to live anymore. He was in excruciating pain but couldn't even go to the hospital. He felt like he was going to die. And seeing the miserable situation on his side, how could he not know that they had lifted the iron plate and were huddled on the cart, not daring to move.
Seeing that the other party ignored him and that he had so many backers, Mi Hongjun became even more excited. "Shameless thing, a tall and strong man who doesn't make money properly but robs people on the road, he will have to eat peanuts sooner or later."
The other party shuddered and couldn't help but look at Qin Xiang who was following Qin Yang. The hatred in his eyes could not be concealed.
Just at this moment, Qin Yang turned around and glanced at him. The man immediately withdrew his gaze with fear in his eyes.
As for the other five men, they followed behind obediently, not daring to sneak away because they saw the thing on the police's waist. They were greedy for money, but they were also afraid of death. They had been bad at learning for years, but they knew that the police's thing contained real weapons.
After walking for half an hour, the group finally arrived at the police station in the town. The station chief and other staff members had already been notified.
Seeing these six men with bruises on their faces, Director Pang was stunned. "Which one is the robber and which one is the victim?"
Police officer Lin, who went to arrest them, pointed at the six men and said, "They were the robbers, and these four were the victims of robbery."
Director Pang became even more suspicious. The robber was beaten so badly, but the victim seemed to be uninjured?
This matter was unbelievable in every way, but when Director Pang saw Qin Yang, he seemed to understand. It seemed that he was a martial artist with some skills.
The six men were interrogated separately, and Qin Xiang and others sat outside to take notes.
After finishing the record and telling the story, Qin Xiang looked at the wall clock and it was almost ten o'clock.
Qin Xiang was exhausted and felt very sorry for Sun Tieshu and his third brother. After what happened, he didn't know if he could leave tomorrow.
Sun Tieshu had obviously thought of this as well, and said to Qin Xiang, "You can't be blamed for this. If you want to blame someone, blame those robbers. Let's see what the situation is. If we can't leave, we can delay for a day or two. I'll report the situation to the team tomorrow morning. Don't worry, our team is the most protective of its own people."
Qin Yang on the side also comforted, "Don't worry, Third Brother is here."
Qin Xiang nodded. Policeman Lin, who was taking their statements, said, "You are not locals, but you'd better cooperate with the investigation tomorrow. We will notify you if you can leave."
After finishing the work, they prepared to go back.
On the way, Mi Hongjun was still very excited, still thinking about how powerful Qin Yang was just now, and pestered Qin Yang, "Brother Qin San, can you teach me a few moves when you have time? You are really amazing."
Qin Yang was too lazy to pay attention to such a little brat and just pulled the cart without saying a word.
Sun Tieshu laughed heartily. "Isn't Lao Qin amazing? Let me tell you, Lao Qin is very popular in our team. If I hadn't worked with him for several years, he would have been snatched away by someone else long ago."
Driving a long-distance truck is not a safe journey, especially in the past few years when highway robberies were rampant. Having a capable helper is essential.
Despite his youth, Qin Yang was formidable. This was a result of years of training, having learned from veterans and possessing real combat experience. The two had truly lived and died together. Even Sun Tieshu's skills were partially honed in actual combat, but he also learned from Qin Yang.
Otherwise, Qin Yang wouldn't be able to trust Sun Tieshu so much, and Sun Tieshu would be so good to Qin Xiang.
This is all because of friendship.
After hearing what Sun Tieshu said, Qin Xiang looked at his third brother. In the darkness, his third brother's expression remained indifferent, and no changes could be seen.
Qin Xiang didn't see the whole scene, but she could tell from Mi Hongjun's words that the situation was dangerous. She knew her third brother was powerful, but she didn't expect him to be this powerful.
In the battle just now, Mi Hongjun was just a bystander, which means that his third brother and Sun Tieshu defeated five people.
Those five men were all young and strong laborers, and they didn't look like they were malnourished.
So how did the third brother survive the past few years, and how much hardship did he endure?
As if noticing her gaze, Qin Yang looked towards her and said, "It's all over. Don't be afraid."
Qin Xiangmin pursed his lips and said, "Third brother, thank you for your hard work."
This "hard work" was filled with too much emotion. Qin Yang smiled and touched her head with his free hand, "It's okay."
When they returned to the guesthouse, they saw Deputy Director He still waiting in the lobby. Seeing them finally come back, he breathed a sigh of relief, "You guys are finally..."
She was startled and saw the injuries on Mi Hongjun and Sun Tieshu. She couldn't help but wonder, "What happened to you? Did you get robbed?"
Qin Xiang was a little depressed and had to tell the story again.
Upon hearing that the bad guys were already at the police station, Deputy Director He breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm glad you're alright. I wanted to come over to hear about your achievements today, but I didn't expect you to come back. I was worried something might have happened to you, so I stayed away. Now that you're back, you should have a good rest and we can talk about everything tomorrow."
At this moment, Qin Xiang really didn't have any intention of talking, so she nodded and said goodbye to Deputy Director He.
When escorting her out, Deputy Director He asked which police station handled the case. After listening, he nodded and said, "I'll tell the director tomorrow morning. After all, you solved the problem for our factory. You can't suffer this in vain. We will follow up later. This kind of influence is really too bad."
She was also hoping that Qin Xiang would take another batch of goods with her before leaving.
Qin Xiang nodded and said, "Thank you, Deputy Director He."
They were not locals, so some things were difficult to handle. However, the robbers were all locals, and if they found some connections and the case ended up being left unresolved, they would not be able to swallow their anger.
After seeing off Deputy Director He and returning to the hall, Qin Xiang said, "Go back and rest first, and we'll talk tomorrow."
Qin Yang looked at her worriedly, and Qin Xiang smiled, "Third brother, I'm not afraid."
Although she had never encountered such a thing in her previous life, she was not a timid person. If she gave up her idea because of a small matter, she would regret it.
Qin Yang looked at his sister and saw that she looked normal. Then he instructed her, "If you have any problems, just shout or knock on the wall. I can hear you."
"good."
Qin Xiang went upstairs to wash up. She was not in the mood to count the money. She put her bag on the bed. While lying on the bed, Qin Xiang reviewed what happened tonight. The more she thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this was premeditated.
She thought the matter would at least drag on for a few days, but early the next morning, Mi Hongjun came knocking on the door and said, "Sister Xiangxiang, the police are here, and those people have confessed."
