Chapter Seventy: Old Xia Goes Berserk
At the moment of impact with the car in front, Xiang Kun instinctively grabbed the handle above the car window with one hand and reached out with the other to protect Xia Libing from inertia induced impact.
However, Xia Libing reacted quickly, catching the handle and stabilizing herself.
Moreover, the collision was rather minor, and the inertia of braking wasn’t too severe, resulting in a not too embarrassing situation.
“Everyone okay?” Xiang Kun glanced at Xia Libing and then asked Yang Zhen’er and Tang Baona at the front.
Fortunately, both women in the front had their seat belts on and seemed unscathed.
“I’m fine… I was frightened out of my wits, why did the car suddenly stop?” Yang Zhen’er exclaimed while patting her chest.
Tang Baona furrowed her brows and scolded, “That was your fault! How many times have I told you? Keep an eye on the road when driving and don’t distract yourself, why won’t you listen…”
Yang Zhen’er stuck her tongue out and quickly retorted, “I get it, I get it, it’s my fault, I will correct it…’
The driver of the car in front had gotten out to inspect the damage, so Yang
Zhen’er also unbuckled her seatbelt and readied herself to get out of the car.
Xiang Kun, Tang Baona, and Xia Libing didn’t stay in the car either. After they all got out, they helped set up a warning triangle behind the car.
Fortunately, they were on the innermost lane, so they didn’t cause much disruption to the traffic flow.
Yang Zhen’er glanced at the place where the two cars collided; the rear bumper of the front car was slightly worn while her car appeared undamaged.
“Sorry for my recklessness, it’s my fault, I’ll take fully responsibility,” she apologetically told the other driver without making any fuss about why he had stopped all of a sudden.
“Alright, then give me 500 yuan,” The driver of the front car, who was a stout-looking middle-aged man with a dark complexion, demanded after giving her a once-over.
Without protesting the potentially overpriced compensation cost, Yang Zhen’er prepared to scan a QR code to transfer the money.
However, Xiang Kun suddenly suggested, “Lets report this to the police and submit an insurance claim.”
Yang Zhen’er was startled, unable to understand why Xiang Kun was trying to help her make decisions. With such a minor accident, going through the insurance process would be more of a loss than gain.
Xiang Kun continued saying, “Take advantage of this opportunity to replace the entire bumper. It won’t affect next year’s premium since we have had no claims in the past two years.”
Yang Zhen’er cried inwardly: Bro, I’ve already made three claims this year!
Nevertheless, she wasn’t foolish. From the interactions over this period, she realized that Xiang Kun wasn’t the type to meddle or create trouble without reason. If he was acting this way, there must be a valid rationale behind it. Moreover, Tang Baona’s discreet pinches on her waist were another hint.
Therefore, Yang Zhen’er decided to report this to the police.
“Hey! Such a small accident doesn’t require reporting to the police. Give me 200 yuan, and we’ll call it even. It’s easier for everyone,” the driver of the car in front suggested after downgrading his demand.
Xiang Kun replied with a smile, “Brother, please wait for a while. Our car also needs to be repaired. Don’t worry, the traffic police and the insurance company will arrive in a few minutes!”
At this time, the passenger in the front seat of the car ahead leaned out and yelled, “Enough messing around, let’s go!”
Subsequently, the dark-skinned man replied, “You don’t need to compensate any money, okay? We are in a hurry and can’t afford to wait any longer. We’re leaving now.” He then prepared to return to his car.
Xiang Kun quickly rushed over to stall him, saying, “Brother, wait just a bit longer, they’ll be here very soon!”
Yang Zhen’er had also figured out the anomaly by now. As she spoke, she warned him, “If you leave now, we’ll report to the police that you’re fleeing from the scene of an accident!” She had already dialed 110 on her phone.
“What are you reporting? Don’t report!” The man in the passenger seat came off the car and headed straight for Yang Zhen’er, gesturing at her threateningly.
Even as the driver gave Xiang Kun a shove and tried to snatch Yang Zhen’er’s phone, Tang Baona quickly pulled her friend away.
“Ah! —How can you hit someone!”
A scream echoed, leaving everyone in the vicinity stunned. They then saw Xiang Kun theatrically fall onto the ground after coming into contact with Yang Zhen’er’s BMW, resulting in a loud thud.
The dark-skinned man looked at his own hand, unsure. He hadn’t exerted that much force, had he?
“Assault!! They’re assaulting us!! Call the police, call the police!!” After a couple of horrific cries, Xiang Kun suddenly sprang up from the ground and yelled, “Stay away from my friends or I swear I’ll kill you!”
The dark-skinned man had no time to react. Xiang Kun charged at him, headbutted him in the chest, and knocked him out cold.
The other man who had just gotten out of the passenger seat of the car ahead and was preparing to continue grabbing Yang Zhen’er’s phone was immediately grabbed by Xiang Kun at his waist, and with a swift twist, was thrown onto the ground.
The shocking events that happened within a few seconds were bewildering not only to the onlookers but also to Yang Zhen’er and Tang Baona who had some idea of what was happening.
At first, it looked like Xiang Kun was being bullied by two burly men from the front car, was knocked to the ground, and then suddenly snapped. He headbutted one and body-slammed the other. But they were both well aware of Xiang Kun’s capabilities. Regardless of the videos circulated on the internet, or having seen him apprehend a wanted criminal single-handedly at a crossroad, or even the stories they heard from their gym trainer, they all testified to Xiang Kun’s prowess. It was evident that he was deliberately seeking an excuse to deal with these two men.
But, why was that?
The rear passenger door of the car at the front opened, and a middle-aged woman got out. Ignoring Yang Zhen’er, who was on the phone with the police, and her two companions on the ground, she tried to sprint away.
However, as soon as she turned around, a tall athletic girl wearing sports trousers and basketball shoes, about one meter seventy in height, who was none other than Xia Libing, blocked her path. With great force, she kicked the middle-aged woman in the groin.
The middle-aged woman, who was crouched on the ground, wailing in pain with her hands covering her lower body was ignored by Xia Libing. She headed towards another middle-aged woman stepping out of the backseat of the vehicle. Before the woman could stabilize herself, Xia Libing kicked her in the Imee.
After the woman who just stepped out of the car screamed and fell, Xia Libing straddled her and held a pen with the cover removed, placing the tip near her eye. Xia Libing hissed, “Make a move, and I’ll blind you!”
Compared with Xiang Kun, Xia Libing’s explosive outburst left Yang Zhen’er and Tang Baona in awe-
This was the girl they had watched grow up since childhood!
Shortly after receiving the emergency call, the police arrived.
Upon seeing two boys, roughly three or four years old, still asleep and being carried out from the rear seat of the car ahead by the police, the women understood who the four people in the car were.
However, they were curious about how Xiang Kun and Xia Libing figured it out.
Similarly, the police were extremely curious about this as well.
Which is why when they were taken back to the station to write down the events, Xiang Kun, and Xia Libing were questioned individually.
“Human traffickers?” Xiang Kun looked at the police officer in front of him, widened his eyes, and expressed shockingly, “I had no idea they were human traffickers! But when my friend tried to call the police to determine fault, they vehemently protested and even tried to snatch her phone.. They were unquestionably suspicious! Moreover, they started physically attacking us first, I only retaliated…’
