Chapter 699 It seems I've messed up this time.
On the surface, Sheng Hanyu looked at the newcomer with him, but in reality, the moment he shifted his gaze, he took a few steps closer and struck him on the back of the neck with a palm strike!
"Ah! Boss!" The last subordinate, who was just looking forward to taking credit for his capture, was completely unsuspecting.
Faced with this dramatic change, he was at a loss.
Ye Siqing's eyes widened, but his reaction was quick enough that he ran towards Sheng Hanyu!
"Hey!"
His men were on the verge of tears. It wasn't easy to catch the guy; he was slippery as an eel.
If he hadn't had the quick wit to lie and say that Sheng Hanyu had already been arrested, Ye Siqing probably wouldn't have surrendered yet.
In reality, Ye Siqing... didn't believe that Sheng Hanyu had been caught at all.
If that's the case, then it's likely that not just one person was sent, but several.
Since only one person came, it means that most of their manpower was either used to besiege Sheng Hanyu or had already been defeated.
However, escaping into the river would only deplete his energy, and it's not exactly the season for swimming anyway.
Ye Siqing simply went along with the other party's suggestion, pretending to have been arrested and coming back to check on the situation.
He just felt his phone vibrate in his pocket; he has to admit the waterproof feature is pretty good...
Since the phone is vibrating, it means Xu Jingyan is about to come and is contacting them, or Sheng Hanyu has already made arrangements.
Hopefully, he won't make the wrong judgment.
He said he was surrendering, and the other side didn't take anything out to restrain him...
In other words, the other side never intended to catch anyone, so they didn't prepare these tools.
Ye Siqing became wary and pretended to be afraid as she walked in front of the man. She wasn't beaten or anything, but she was scolded a few times.
It's a good thing you didn't hit me, otherwise you would probably be in big trouble.
The moment Ye Siqing met Sheng Hanyu's eyes, she knew he had made the right judgment.
As expected, the person on the other end immediately lowered their guard, and Sheng Hanyu subdued them instantly.
Sheng Hanyu stepped aside to let him hide behind her, then looked at the newcomer and said, "Are you going to surrender yourself, or should I come and grab you?"
"..." The last man looked at the fallen leader and the big guy who was still struggling, and raised his hands with a very humiliated expression.
"Okay, then tie them up," Sheng Hanyu instructed.
"Where can I find something to tie someone up..."
He had already surrendered, but he still made such an outrageous request. Although it was ill-timed, the man ended up feeling both amused and exasperated.
If he had something to tie someone up, he wouldn't have left Ye Siqing untied; that way, he would have had some leverage in negotiations.
"You need to take initiative, sigh, no wonder you're the younger brother..." Sheng Hanyu mocked.
Subordinates: We dare not speak out against our anger!
Forget it, I'll just pretend to go look for something and use that as an excuse to escape.
"How are you?" Sheng Hanyu asked Ye Siqing as she watched him start searching for vines or similar items around him.
"What if he runs away?" Ye Siqing asked.
"It doesn't matter, where can he run to?" Sheng Hanyu said, watching the man's retreating figure. "There are so many people here, if they knew he was the only one who ran away..."
Alas!
He was clearly saying this to that person, who might not be afraid of legal punishment and whose first reaction would definitely be to run away, but...
The big guy had his eyes open and could see everything clearly.
Even Lu Wangqian's men have legal knowledge. If they don't get caught, they'll be fine. But if they do get caught, it could mean several years.
That's only a few years.
Since they were working for Lu Wangqian, they were naturally well aware of his consistent style.
If he were to claim that he would escape, preserve his resources, and make a comeback, probably no one would believe him.
In that case, it's better to stay with everyone...
Besides, even if he wasn't afraid of retaliation a few years later, what if Lu Wangqian found out that he had gone back alone...?
They certainly wouldn't praise his cleverness; they would only think he wasn't working hard enough.
So he really had no choice but to bite the bullet and look for tree branches and vines.
"Why don't you say that our two families will also go to him?" Ye Siqing asked in a low voice.
"If he were afraid of both our families, would he have done this today?" Sheng Hanyu looked at Ye Siqing in surprise.
Is your school's mystery club really okay?
“…That makes sense.” Ye Siqing scratched her head, and then…sneezed.
"Tsk." Sheng Hanyu took off her coat and handed it to him.
Although he had only recently come out of the water, his jacket was windproof and waterproof.
It's just a little water droplet; a quick pat and it's gone.
There wasn't even a need to take pictures; his clothes were perfectly dry after the fight.
A fisherman's good habit...
It was only then that Sheng Hanyu noticed something seemed off between her ribs.
Oh no, he's injured!
But we can't let anyone find out now.
Sheng Hanyu looked at the big guy on the ground. He must have injured his spine, which was why he couldn't get up. But she couldn't be completely sure. Maybe he was just waiting for the moment to fight to the death.
He pulled Ye Siqing back two steps to make sure the boss was within his attack range, and continued to keep an eye on the big guy.
Sure enough, the big guy stopped moving when he saw the boss at his feet, but kept his eyes fixed on them.
"Thank you..." Ye Siqing put on her coat, shivering from the cold.
The phone vibrated again. Sheng Hanyu answered, "How is it?"
"It's over. There were indeed people lying in ambush here, but they've been dealt with. The police are on their way," Xu Jingyan reported, then asked, "How's the situation for you?"
“He fell into the water, the driver…” Sheng Hanyu said, only then realizing that the driver was nowhere to be found.
At the time, he was preoccupied with guarding against the enemy, and it seemed that the driver had gone in another direction.
This was also his hint; after all, if they were caught, someone would have to inform them. But it's unknown whether they successfully escaped.
“I’ve already picked up the driver, and I know about the incident of the person falling into the water,” Xu Jingyan said.
"That's fine. There are traps on this bridge. I don't know if the car can make it across. I'll give you the location now. Also, I've subdued the others, about ten people in total. Get the vehicles ready."
Sheng Hanyu sent her location, and about ten minutes later, Xu Jingyan arrived with his men.
Sheng Hanyu relaxed only after seeing the red and blue lights that indicated safety. "Help me up."
"What's wrong?" Ye Siqing asked anxiously. "I'll take a look right away!"
They had by then moved out of the woods, gotten into their car, and wrapped themselves in blankets.
Ye Siqing knew that Sheng Hanyu was acting strangely, but since he didn't say anything, it meant that this wasn't something she could ask him.
"Look," Sheng Hanyu said, lifting his shirt to reveal a large bruise on his lower left side near his waist.
"This doesn't look good; you might need to get an X-ray." Ye Siqing touched it. "Does it hurt?"
"...Ouch, looks like I messed up this time."
After Sheng Hanyu finished speaking, he found it very funny because he had indeed made a physics mistake. He laughed and covered his ribs.
This really hurts!
