Chapter 208 Finding My Wife
Chapter 208 Finding My Wife
A few minutes later, the police quickly arrived at the scene, formed a perimeter, and tried to persuade the assailant to put down his knife and surrender.
Qi Yuxuan's heart tightened suddenly; he knew the seriousness of the situation.
An experienced police officer shouted through a megaphone:
"Sir, please calm down and put down the knife. We can resolve this peacefully."
However, the perpetrator had clearly lost his mind and completely ignored the police's advice.
Instead, he became even more agitated, brandishing the knife in his hand and threatening:
"Don't come any closer, or I'll kill her!"
When the police realized that their persuasion was ineffective and the situation was becoming increasingly critical, they began to consider taking more extreme measures.
An armed police officer whispered among himself, preparing to shoot and kill the perpetrator if necessary to ensure the safety of the hostages.
Just as the police were about to take action, Qi Yuxuan rushed forward and shouted:
"Wait! Let me try, maybe I can convince him."
The sheriff hesitated for a moment, but ultimately nodded in agreement:
"Okay, but be careful, retreat immediately in any dangerous situation."
Qi Yuxuan nodded and slowly walked towards the thug, his gaze firm yet gentle.
He knew that in this situation, any reckless action could lead to irreversible consequences.
Therefore, he had to handle every detail with utmost care to ensure the safety of the hostages.
"This fellow,"
Qi Yuxuan said softly.
"You must have your own reasons, but I believe we can find a better solution. Release this pregnant woman, and let's all sit down and talk, okay?"
The assailant did not respond, but continued to press the knife tightly against the pregnant woman's neck.
Qi Yuxuan realized that verbal persuasion might not work, and he had to take more decisive action.
Qi Yuxuan quickly scanned his surroundings and noticed a few small stones on the ground.
On a sudden inspiration, he picked up a pebble and gently held it in his hand.
He knew the move was extremely risky, but he decided to take the plunge in order to save the pregnant woman.
"I won't hurt you, I just want you to calm down."
While calming the thug, Qi Yuxuan secretly aimed at his hand.
He took a deep breath and suddenly threw the stone with force, hitting the assailant's wrist accurately.
The assailant, in pain, loosened his grip, and the long knife slipped from his hand.
Qi Yuxuan seized the opportunity, quickly picked up another pebble, aimed again, and this time hit the assailant's leg.
The assailant screamed, lost his balance, and fell to his knees.
Unexpectedly, the assailant immediately leaped into the air, displaying extraordinary fighting skills, and quickly took down several police officers.
Clearly, the assailant was not only emotionally unstable, but also a trained fighter.
Qi Yuxuan swiftly leaped forward, protecting Minglan in his arms with his left hand while precisely striking the assailant's pressure points with his right.
The assailant froze instantly, unable to move.
Upon seeing this, the police officers nearby immediately stepped forward and handcuffed the criminal.
However, due to the acupressure point technique, the assailant remained motionless, as if frozen in place.
The police saw the criminal who was stiff and motionless:
"What's going on? Why is it acting like a zombie? Is this guy dead?"
Qi Yuxuan explained with a smile:
"Don't worry, I just applied pressure to his acupoints. He'll be back to normal in a little while once the pressure points are released."
The sheriff nodded in understanding, and several men escorted the assailant away from the scene.
The pregnant woman's husband excitedly grasped Qi Yuxuan's hand, tears streaming down his face, and said:
"Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Qi Yuxuan smiled and shook his head:
"It's what I should do. It's the duty of a chivalrous person to help those in need."
"By the way, why did he kidnap you?" Qi Yuxuan asked, puzzled.
“He was my ex-husband. After seeing that I was doing well, he came back to me. After I rejected him, he took me hostage and demanded money from my whole family.”
The pregnant woman said sadly.
Even after the crisis was averted, the scene remained busy as reporters from City A TV station arrived one after another.
"Young man, you acted bravely today and prevented a bloody conflict. Can you tell me what your thoughts are?"
Qi Yuxuan had just transmigrated and was very curious about the clothes worn by modern people.
Suddenly, a large group of reporters surrounded him, and he felt bewildered again.
Just then, Minglan in his arms suddenly started crying.
Her little hands gripped his clothes tightly, tears streaming down her face.
Qi Yuxuan gently patted her back and whispered comforting words:
"Don't be afraid, Minglan, Daddy will find Mommy."
However, Minglan's crying did not stop; instead, it became even more intense.
The sound of a child's heart breaking echoed through the quiet street, a truly heartbreaking sight.
At this moment, a policewoman who was cleaning up the mess saw what was happening and asked with concern:
"Sir, where is the child's mother?"
Qi Yuxuan raised his head, his eyes filled with a hint of helplessness and anxiety, and replied:
"She's lost. I'm looking for her."
The policewoman frowned, clearly surprised by the situation.
She carefully examined Qi Yuxuan and found that he was a thousand times more handsome than Lin Feihan, the hottest male star in City A.
Qi Yuxuan's eyes also revealed an extraordinary temperament, and he exuded an irresistible masculine charm.
"Sir, how could your lover have disappeared? Is she from out of town? You're so outstanding, surely your lover wouldn't abandon you?"
"That's what the policewoman said."
“Yes, we are from out of town. My wife is missing, and I must find her,” Qi Yuxuan said firmly.
Seeing Minglan crying so hard, the policewoman sighed:
"Sir, your child might be hungry. How about this, why don't you come with us to the police station to register? Maybe we can help you find your loved one."
The policewoman couldn't help but swoon over Qi Yuxuan's outstanding looks and wanted to get closer to him.
Seeing that they were unfamiliar with the place and Minglan was hungry, Qi Yuxuan nodded in agreement.
"Hey, young hero Qi, don't go yet."
Director An stopped Qi Yuxuan from the crowd.
Qi Yuxuan looked at Director An, his eyes asking what was wrong.
"Young Master Qi, I don't know where you come from or which film set you work on."
"Here's what we'll do: I'll leave you my business card. If you ever want to make films, just come find me. You'll definitely become a big star."
Director An spoke with a gleam in his eyes.
Qi Yuxuan accepted the business card, nodded politely, and left with the police.
On the way, Qi Yuxuan held Minglan in his arms and silently prayed that Qiu Ziyue would be safe and sound.
Upon arriving at the police station, Qi Yuxuan was taken to a quiet office.
The policewoman prepared some formula for Minglan and taught Qi Yuxuan how to feed Minglan with a bottle.
The policewoman was very thoughtful and changed Minglan's diaper.
Then, another female police officer who was taking notes politely asked him to sit down and handed him a glass of warm water.
"Please describe your wife's situation in detail, including her physical characteristics, clothing, and the last time and place you saw her."
The policewoman said gently.
Qi Yuxuan took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, and began to describe Qiu Ziyue's physical characteristics and the circumstances of her disappearance in detail.
"Hmm? You've come from the late Tang Dynasty. Your wife's name is Qiu Ziyue. Mr. Qi, may I see your ID card?"
"What ID card? I don't have one."
"Huh? You don't have one? That won't do. You'll need your ID card to go anywhere in the future. Let us get you one."
"Okay, you can get one done for me, but I, Qi, don't like owing people money. Here, I'll pay you."
After saying that, Qi Yuxuan took out the large red envelope that Li Maozhen had given him from his pocket.
He took out a flying coin used in the late Tang Dynasty from the red envelope and handed it to the policewoman.
The policewoman was speechless.
The policewoman had never seen money like this before.
