Chapter 242: Chapter 242 Maybe Surrender

The man had not finished his complaint when a whooshing blast sounded by his ear.

"Watch out!"

Cheng Lingdang’s eyes widened as she watched a bullet whiz by his ear, heading straight for...

Her location!

The moment danger struck, she had wanted to dodge.

But her feet felt as if they were nailed to the ground, and she couldn’t move.

At that moment, time seemed to have stopped.

All she could see in her pupils was the clear reflection of the bullet.

When the bullet was less than five centimeters away, Cheng Lingdang closed her eyes in despair.

But in that moment before she closed her eyes, a smooth pebble shot out, accurately deflecting the bullet.

"Bang—"

A gunshot rang out, and glass shattered to the southwest.

Red blood seeped out of the sniper’s bullet-pierced hand as he lay there.

Cheng Lingdang suddenly opened her eyes and saw Shi Yaoguang, who had appeared beside her at some point, her eyes filling with tears.

"Lingdang, don’t be afraid, I’m here," Shi Yaoguang said, extending his hand to gently pat her shoulder.

Cheng Lingdang stiffly nodded and moved her lips to say something, but through the reflection of the broken glass, she noticed another bullet coming.

Just as she was about to warn Shi Yaoguang, she was flung away by him with force.

Cheng Lingdang stepped back a few paces before coming to a stop.

Once she steadied herself, she saw the bullet mere inches away from Shi Yaoguang’s position.

"Master! Watch—"

She couldn’t even finish her warning when she saw Shi Yaoguang perform a back flip off his tiptoes, avoiding the bullet...

Cheng Lingdang had always known that Shi Yaoguang was skilled.

But she had never imagined he could be this skilled.

Mom Cheng and she shared the same shocked expression.

Heaven knows, when she saw the bullet that close to her daughter, her heart almost leapt out.

And then this miracle worker appeared.

Shi Yaoguang paid no mind to everyone’s astonishment. After dodging the bullet, he followed its trajectory to shoot out a laser.

The laser beam revealed the hiding place of the person upstairs.

The onlookers were stunned.

This...

What kind of high-tech is this?

Shi Yaoguang tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and, with two flashes, he appeared on the second floor.

Cheng Lingdang stood there dumbly watching Shi Yaoguang in action, as he threw people down from the upstairs.

Thankfully, there was a cardboard box on the ground to cushion the fall, so the person wasn’t smashed to death.

Shi Yaoguang repeated his previous actions, stacking the three ambushing "snipers" like a pile of logs.

Even when Shi Yaoguang returned to the ground, Cheng Lingdang was still dazed.

The defected gang leader was also dumbfounded.

He swallowed, stuttering, "If I’d known you had such an awesome guy on your side, I wouldn’t have touched this deal no matter what."

"You might not believe me, but it’s also my first time seeing the full extent of Shi Brother’s capabilities," Cheng Lingdang said quietly.

The man was still rejoicing, "Good thing I didn’t really do anything to you, or else..."

His Adam’s apple bobbed, looking at the three downed foreigners on the ground, his face pale: "This would’ve been my fate."

Looking at his terrified expression, Cheng Lingdang hummed in triumph, "It’s good that you’ve learned your lesson. Let me tell you, there are many people in this world you cannot afford to mess with."

The man hesitated and counted on his fingers, asking in a bargaining tone, "Little sister, can we negotiate?"

"Negotiate? What’s there for you to negotiate with me?"

"Of course, there’s something!" the man whispered, lowering his voice, "Your friend probably doesn’t know who I am, right?"

Cheng Lingdang rolled her eyes, counter-asking, "Do you think that’s possible?"

The man said without confidence, "I... I think it’s not very likely."

Cheng Lingdang gave him an approving look, "Good to know."

The man was on the verge of tears, "Then... then what should I do? Your friend won’t hold a grudge against me and settle scores after the fall harvest, right?"

"Well, it’s hard to say, after all..." Cheng Lingdang showed a malicious smile, "Just now you were thinking of kidnapping me. Even if you’ve defected now, you can’t change the fact that you tried to lay your hands on me."

Man: "..."

"I... Is it still not too late for me to turn myself in to the police?"

He had a horrified expression, fearing that Shi Yaoguang would rush up and give him a thorough beating without another word.

Cheng Lingdang looked him up and down and agreed with his suggestion, "I think turning yourself in is a feasible option."

"Then..." the man said and gestured to his brothers, "Brothers, let’s go!"

One of his lackeys subconsciously asked, "What for?"

"To the police station."

"What for at the police station?"

"To turn ourselves in!" the man said through gritted teeth, "If you don’t turn yourself in, are you waiting to get smashed into a meat pie?"

He pointed at the three black men on the ground.

The lackeys: "..."

They all ran off in unison, and judging from their eager strides, one might have thought they were off to hunt for treasure.

...

After Shi Yaoguang had dealt with the three black men, she saw the man running off with his lackeys.

She looked at Cheng Lingdang, seeking her opinion, "Lingdang, how do you plan to deal with them?"

"I think it’s good they’re turning themselves in," Cheng Lingdang said. "Although their intentions were impure, they didn’t seem like liars, probably just ordinary thugs. As long as they haven’t killed anyone, there’s no need to be utterly ruthless."

Shi Yaoguang heard this and raised her eyebrows, "You can tell whether they have blood on their hands?"

"It would be weird if I couldn’t," Cheng Lingdang shrugged, "If they had really seen blood, they wouldn’t be such cowards."

Shi Yaoguang nodded in agreement, "That makes sense."

She said something to Cheng Lingdang, successfully shifting her focus.

After a short conversation, Cheng Lingdang’s complexion had improved a lot.

"Shi, what about these people... how should we handle them?"

Cheng Lingdang pointed to the people on the ground, inquiring.

Shi Yaoguang said, "I called the police before I came. They will come and take them away."

"Called the police..." Cheng Lingdang pursed her lips, then realized, "I was foolish, I didn’t even think of calling the police."

Shi Yaoguang gave her a speechless look, "By the time you remembered to call the police, the bodies would be cold."

Cheng Lingdang scratched her head, saying quite embarrassingly, "Well, I have you as my master, don’t I? If you weren’t here, I wouldn’t dare to relax like this."

Mrs. Cheng watched Cheng Lingdang and Shi Yaoguang chatting, holding back for a while before asking, "What’s the deal with these people?"

Shi Yaoguang smiled at her as a greeting.

"They’re probably terrorists."

"Ter, terrorists?"

"Yeah," Shi Yaoguang explained, "They’re not terrorists in the true sense. They were probably hired to pose as terrorists."

Hearing Shi Yaoguang’s explanation, Mrs. Cheng’s expression suddenly became solemn, "Who could hate our little Lingdang so much to hire terrorists..."
