Chen Tian looked at the group of people before him, clearly being chased by the police. He couldn't help but lament his bad luck! All he wanted was to eat breakfast, and now he had to encounter such trouble!
Chen Tian indifferently observed the criminals in front of him, then muttered, "A pity about such good baozi. Otherwise, I would have really wanted to beat them up."
Lin Xue, standing nearby, heard him. Her expression turned cold, but she didn't act impulsively. There were too many people present, and the criminals were armed. One wrong move and the people eating here would likely die from gunfire.
So, Lin Xue waited for an opportunity. Just then, police sirens wailed outside, and a voice boomed through the breakfast shop: "Listen up, everyone inside! You are surrounded. Do not resist futilely. Come out and surrender!"
Despite the stern words, the police dared not act rashly. The robbers had hostages! They couldn't rush in.
At that moment, a scream rang out. A woman was slowly pulled to the front by a robber, a gun barrel pointed at her head. He then declared, "Enough talk. Prepare a car for us to leave immediately, or everyone in this building will die with me!"
Outside, the police shouted, "Shameless!"
Using a hostage as a threat made it impossible for them to storm the building.
"Captain, what do we do?"
A police officer approached an officer in command and said, "You guys wait outside. I'll charge in, and you follow behind me for cover!"
Long Lie Tian glared at the breakfast shop with murderous intent. However, the police officer said, "But Officer, they still have hostages!"
"What good are hostages? Do they think they can threaten me? Don't worry! I guarantee they will all be safe."
Then, Long Lie Tian appeared not far from the entrance of the breakfast shop. He looked at the shop and a smile played on his lips. It was a perfect opportunity to test his newly awakened abilities.
He clenched his fists, and instantly, a golden shield appeared in his palm. This sight stunned all the police officers present. They knew their superior was extraordinary, but they hadn't expected him to be a martial artist.
But what use was being a martial artist? The criminals had hostages! How would he rescue them?
Inside the shop, Qing Ling's body stiffened. Chen Tian asked, "What's wrong, sister?"
"Brother, there's an acquaintance outside. It seems this won't be too dangerous this time."
Qing Ling's lips curved upwards. A familiar aura. It seemed they had awakened too, in reality.
Long Lie Tian gazed at the breakfast shop. He slammed the shield onto the ground and charged forward. The dust kicked up by his charge swirled around the shield.
With a thud, the door shattered. The leader in black shouted, "Open fire! Shoot quickly!"
The sudden turn of events threw the robbers into a panic. Just as the leader in black was about to shoot, a massive cloud of dust, like white mist, filled the entire shop. The leader in black felt a sharp pain in his arm and momentarily relaxed his grip.
Then, the leader in black roared, "Shoot! Sweep them all!"
The dust obscured their vision. They didn't know where the attacker was, but they knew they would take some people down with them before they died.
The staccato of gunfire echoed, followed by screams and the sound of things hitting the ground. When a strong gust of wind cleared the dust, the breakfast shop returned to its original appearance.
However, it was now riddled with holes, the walls, tables, and floor covered in bullet craters. Strangely, the customers who had been eating there were completely unharmed, not even a scratch from a stray bullet.
When the robbers were firing, Qing Ling had acted, projecting a massive shield that protected everyone. All the bullets were deflected, resulting in no one being injured.
Footsteps sounded as police officers entered the breakfast shop, guns trained on the robbers. Beside Lin Xue lay the leader in black, his mouth bleeding, barely alive, but not yet dead.
Lin Xue angrily declared, "You dared to disturb Master Chen while he was eating his baozi? You're seeking death!"
A bloodbath triggered by a baozi. The leader in black couldn't comprehend that he was beaten to this state simply for disturbing someone's meal.
The police then apprehended the robbers, and everyone was taken to the police station for registration.
Qing Ling slowly approached Long Lie Tian and said, "Nice to meet you, you and Ge Zi! I'm Qing Ling!"
"Ah!"
Ge Zi was taken aback for a moment, then reacted, "Hello, I am Ge Zi!"
"Hey! Wait a minute, sister, how are you so sure he's Ge Zi?" Chen Tian asked in confusion.
Qing Ling replied, "Brother, don't you think his shield looks like Ge Zi's shield?"
"Yeah! It really does look like it. Could you really be Ge Zi?"
"And who is this?"
"This is my brother, Chen Tian! Chen Tian from the game!"
"Ah! So you're Chen Tian! My apologies, my apologies! I didn't recognize you. You look exactly the same. I thought you might have fabricated your appearance in the game, so I was afraid of mistaking you."
"Well then, Chen Tian, Qing Ling, this is my business card. Contact me if you have time. I have other matters to attend to and must leave now."
With that, Long Lie Tian's body trembled, and the shield in his hand vanished. He then moved towards another direction.
Chen Tian and Qing Ling, along with the other two, were taken to the police station to give their statements.
Chen Tian and Qing Ling were speechless. Was Ge Zi that busy?
Chen Tian then looked at the business card, a look of realization dawning on his face. He now understood why Ge Zi was in such a hurry.
Ge Zi's identity was no trivial matter.
He then put the business card into his pocket and followed the police to the station.
Lin Xue entered the police station with Chen Tian. Meanwhile, at the Lin family, Lin Moran suddenly received news of Lin Xue's arrival at the police station. He made a phone call, spoke a few words, and hung up.
He then remarked, "When can my granddaughter stop causing trouble? Why does such a thing happen first thing in the morning? Ah! But Master Chen is also there, so there should be no problem."
"Let's continue enjoying our tea. Drinking tea and savoring life. It's truly comfortable."
Lin Moran of the Lin family showed no worry. It was the Lin family, after all. Lin Xue would be fine, and so would Master Chen. There was nothing to be concerned about.
Inside the police station, it was Chen Tian and the other two's turn to give their statements. Suddenly, a figure hurried down the left staircase and appeared before the interrogation room.
He then said, "Little Chen, no need to question these three. I'll handle it personally!"
"Yes!"
