Chapter 426: 425. We are not in a hurry (Twelve more updates)

As they passed another couple, Tang Shu caught a glimpse of a familiar object in the corner of his eye and instantly stiffened, then lashed out with a kick.

"Bang——"

The gun in the other person’s hand was suddenly kicked several meters away.

There were indeed other accomplices here!

To capture Tang Shu, they had really invested a lot!

In a flash, all three of them were exposed, with Su Xiaochi handling the couple on this side, while Tang Shu was dodging the one who had made the first move.

The extras, seeing the crew starting to move, scattered in every direction.

"OMG, what’s happening?"

"Didn’t the assistant director say there was no such scene in the plot? Is this some emergency???"

"This isn’t a TV drama, this is real! There’s been a shooting in the mall, get out of here now!"

Director Zhang was also frantic, immediately taking out his phone to dial 110 to report the incident, while they could only watch the fight through the transparent glass windows.

Fortunately, the extras inside sensed something was wrong and ran out one by one, temporarily safe.

Thus, everyone outside, in a state of panic, could see everything happening inside the store.

Su Xiaochi and Tang Shu were incredibly fierce, the sound of gunfire mixing with the noise of fighting, and the shattering of glass and wooden counters was equally jarring.

"Bang——"

"Bang Bang——"

"Oh my God, are you sure this isn’t a rehearsed scene???"

Nearly everyone had this doubt!

The extras who were about to retreat were stunned on the spot, completely forgetting their own safety, with even some taking out their phones to record the moment.

It was truly shocking!

The five people fighting seemed to be throwing caution to the wind, with movements so fast they were dizzying to the onlookers.

Inside the store.

After more than a dozen rounds of combat, Tang Shu finally saw her chance and didn’t give the opponent a chance to shoot again, timing it perfectly to throw her hairpin.

The black, slender hairpin flew swiftly towards the assailant’s wrist and struck it, causing them to cry out in pain and drop their weapon.

"Snap——"

By the time she realized it, Tang Shu’s figure had already reached her, kicking her from inside the store out to the sidewalk, the woman’s body hitting the rail outside with a "bang."

On this side, Su Xiaochi had successfully taken down two people, seized the couple’s gun, and was now pointing it at their foreheads.

"Don’t move!"

Tang Shu stepped outside, her foot on the woman’s body.

"Quite bold, daring to make a move in broad daylight?"

Should they be called stupid or clever?

They had purposefully chosen a place with few people to act, yet they had done so under the gaze of a film crew. Whose idea this was, was anyone’s guess.

The three exposed assailants glared at Tang Shu with vicious eyes, revealing a cold sneer.

"Don’t think you can get away."

Su Xiaochi and Tang Shu exchanged glances, both frowning.

The newcomers were obviously up to no good, showing a resolve that they wouldn’t stop until they reached their goal.

***

The two had caught the three assailants, but the crew and extras outside who witnessed the scene were stunned.

"OMG! It’s like a blockbuster movie!"

"I feel like I’m having a serious hallucination; am I dreaming?"

"That scared the hell out of me, that was definitely gunfire just now, right? Not props???"

"Do prop guns have shell casings, ma’am? Look at those casings on the ground before you speak!"

"Tang Shu is so incredible, anyone who doesn’t know would think they’re actually shooting a movie!"

"And who is that short-haired beauty? The one holding the gun right now! She’s amazing too!"

"Seems like she’s Tang Shu’s assistant," "Turns out, she’s not just an assistant, but a bodyguard——"

While everyone was scared out of their wits, they were also extremely relieved to have two formidable people present, otherwise... the bullets would have hit them!

Director Zhang and the crew were also scared senseless, and at this moment, they didn’t dare to come over and check. Fortunately, the mall wasn’t far from the police station, and law enforcement arrived at the scene ten minutes after the report.

"What’s happened here, what’s the trouble!"

"Who just called the police, saying there was a gunfight???"

A few officers in uniform took the escalator from the first floor right up to the third.

"Over here, they’re over here!"

"They’ve been subdued, right here!"

Following the staff pointing toward Tang Shu’s direction, the officers finally set eyes on Su Xiaochi, who was still aiming her gun at someone, and immediately froze in shock.

"Who are you?"

The officers instantly braced for a confrontation with Su Xiaochi.

Tang Shu tugged at the corner of his mouth and lifted his chin towards one officer, "She’s my assistant and bodyguard. First, take these three into custody, and the missing gun is under the counter."

The law enforcement officers were both shocked and a bit disbelieving, their eyes flitted between the slender figures of Tang Shu and Su Xiaochi for quite a while before they accepted the truth.

"Handcuff these three!"

An emergency situation wrapping up took just ten minutes to resolve.

And inevitably, Tang Shu and Su Xiaochi ended up following them to the nearby police station,

When the officers left, they not only took all the surveillance videos from the mall but also copied the memory from several cameras belonging to the film crew.

Just as everyone was sighing with relief, a few extras who had sneaked in on the first floor put away their phones, their blood boiling with excitement.

"I got it, I got it on video!"

"Today was so worth it!"

"What’s wrong with you? You just brushed shoulders with the Death God, and you’re still in the mood for watching the fun?!"

Why didn’t you just go and die?

***

No sooner had the two of them arrived at the police station and started to give their statements than Wen Nuan arrived right after.

Unbelievably fast, so fast that even Tang Shu was taken aback.

Su Xiaochi pointed to the electronic watch on her wrist and gave her a look.

Tang Shu instantly understood the meaning, realizing they must have a special way to communicate, and even managed to avoid the attentions of the law enforcement in the car.

She became curious about the department in which Wen Nuan worked once again.

An officer who had followed them back to take their statements was called away by a colleague just as he was about to start, giving them a strange look as he left.

"You two just wait here a little longer, I’ll come back in a bit," he said.

Su Xiaochi leaned back in her chair with a very relaxed expression, as if she were at home.

"Go ahead with your business, we’re in no hurry," she said.

The ones who should be worried were the film crew, who wasted money on booking the venue for the day, not to mention the cost of repairing the damaged glass counters in the mall.

Tang Shu pulled up a chair beside her and sat down without saying anything.

This was a police station after all, with cameras and recording devices everywhere, and since Wen Nuan had already arrived, it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to say anything more.

Perhaps she had already settled everything.

Indeed, about half an hour later, the one who opened the door was Wen Nuan.

"The two of you, it’s time to leave," he said.

He casually waved the keys in his hand, his nonchalance on par with Su Xiaochi’s.
