Chapter 1528: Chapter 1528: Collateral Damage
Hearing Feng Jun’s words, Sofia didn’t relax, "Two kilometers away isn’t safe either. Several gunfights have occurred in the past half month. The police even used helicopters. It’s said that people from the Colombian Mist were involved."
"Mist," Feng Jun frowned, "isn’t this a high-end residential area?"
In his impression, most crimes in the Mai Nation were concentrated in urban areas, with few occurrences in towns and countryside, because the opportunities for robbery were limited there, and generally, people in small towns had some self-defense capabilities.
Especially in places like where Sofia lived, which wasn’t a typical small town, it was mostly wealthy people, particularly with the Jansen Family residing there and having a considerable number of bodyguards. What ordinary thieves would dare to approach casually?
"It’s Mist, it’s Mist," Sofia was a bit frantic, "they dare to go anywhere, especially after drug use, they think the entire Mai Nation should belong to them!"
Feng Jun still couldn’t quite get it, "But many people here have bodyguards, do they still need to be afraid of them?"
Sofia rolled her eyes at him, "Not all bodyguards are loyal; they might be scared or might run away... Bank employees can embezzle, Kobe’s agent can fill out real estate paperwork in their name, so why can’t bodyguards run?"
Feng Jun contemplated with a frown and sorted out his thoughts. He nodded, "You have a point, bodyguards aren’t omnipotent, but you don’t need to be afraid. With me here, Mist can’t get in— I remember you have a hunting rifle, right?"
"I’m not afraid of them getting in!" Sofia stomped her foot fiercely, "Forget it, I can’t explain it to you... I want to turn off all the lights now, will that affect you?"
"Of course... it won’t," Feng Jun smiled, "Actually, you can go home now, Mist definitely won’t storm into your house."
Sofia raised her hand and slapped her forehead, "You don’t understand Mai Nation at all... Forget it, I’ll go turn off the lights."
Her long legs ran in like wind and fire wheels, and in an instant, all the lights in the small courtyard were turned off.
Then she ran out again, wrapping her arms around his waist, seemingly trembling.
Feng Jun walked back to the wooden steps, sat down in the original position, and released the Spiritual Qi Shield.
Sofia was practically clinging to him, "What do we do next, can you keep them from coming in?"
Feng Jun patted her hand and spoke with a smile, "Don’t worry, they can’t come in. Two cars, four police cars, those two cars have both flipped over... hmm, that was my doing."
To him, these were really minor scenes, just a police check that stopped two cars, and then the two cars broke through?
As long as it doesn’t happen on the Mobile Phone Plane, his Divine Sense can be unleashed without restraint, not to mention two kilometers away, even things happening twenty kilometers away can’t escape his notice.
He even heard what the passengers were discussing inside those two cars breaking through.
Those two cars were not even from the same group, one was from an out-of-date black RAP singer, who indeed had taken drugs, initially willing to cooperate when the police stopped him, but the police suspected them of drug use and wanted to take them back... This obviously was unacceptable.
The other car belonged to Sister Hua’s elite, carrying a lot of documents, but unfortunately, the driver was drunk driving. Even with a Caucasian face, drunk driving is still drunk driving, right?
Actually, in Mai Nation, drunk driving isn’t that serious a deal—at least that’s what Huaxia citizens believe. It’s mainly just a driving ban, then a fine, and then community service, without involving criminal charges.
Of course, if someone is killed, that’s another story.
In comparison, Huaxia’s handling of drunk driving is really harsh. If the blood alcohol concentration qualifies, there’s direct detention or such, which is particularly harsh.
Anyway, the person who was drunk driving and got caught wasn’t too happy—am I banned from driving for two years?
The Mai Nation is known as the "wheel nation," two years of no driving means losing most of one’s martial arts abilities.
The incident happened in the RAP singer’s car, the singer had a bodyguard—even if in decline, he could still have a bodyguard, and that black bodyguard was glaring at the police with a sense of superiority of "dare to touch me, and you’re politically incorrect."
Coincidentally, the police on duty were all white, and their actions were inevitably heavy-handed, which is quite typical, as most of the Mai Nation’s public security issues were caused by Uncle Black—there was bias, so how could their actions be lenient?
This Uncle Black couldn’t take it after a few punches and kicks, so he knocked away several policemen and said, let’s get going.
Several policemen, of course, started shooting. The first two gunshots Feng Jun heard were fired by the police.
The one driving Sister Hua’s car heard the gunshots and also grabbed the steering wheel to take off—it wasn’t just about getting a revoked driver’s license, but... he didn’t want to be shot to death randomly.
Once a gunfight broke out and involved Uncle Black, he had to escape for his life first; otherwise, it would be hard to die cleanly even if he wanted to.
These two cars were running in front, with people chasing from behind, but Feng Jun looked and thought, you’re not handling this right.
So he sent a Divine Sense attack, directly toppling the drivers of these two cars—stop resisting!
He didn’t really have any judgments about the good or evil here, nor any preferences. He simply thought, keep your stories within your own love-hate entanglements, don’t disturb me... I’m very busy.
But unexpectedly, although the two cars had flipped, four police cars caught up, and then a helicopter also came in pursuit—are helicopters so cheap in the Mai Nation?
That’s not all; another helicopter came after them, with fully armed soldiers jumping down.
Feng Jun was genuinely perplexed, "Sofia, should I take them all out, or should I leave?"
Sofia hesitated for a moment, then her eyes lit up, "Can you take them all out?"
After thinking for a while, Feng Jun proudly replied, "Taking out everyone on site is definitely not a problem."
"But... there will be consequences," Sofia shook her head helplessly, "Let’s see what happens first."
After the two cars flipped on the side of the highway, Sister Hua’s acquaintance was honest enough, getting stuck in the car by the airbag, but the people in the singer’s car were so fierce that four of them climbed out of the windows and ran for their lives.
If it were daytime, they might not have dared to do this, but since it was nighttime and raining lightly, running off the highway offered a real chance of escaping.
Feng Jun used his Divine Sense to harass the four people, but unfortunately, it was hard to control the intensity. The four were highly excited, too light a Divine Sense Attack would be useless, and slightly heavier might cause severe consequences, leading the police to notice something amiss.
Especially troublesome was that these four were also carrying guns—the bodyguard turned back and fired a shot, slowing down the police pursuit instantly, though the helicopter turned on its spotlight.
Finally, when they were less than five hundred meters from the small courtyard where Sofia was, they began to scatter and run.
The police quickly captured three of them, but the other one couldn’t be found.
The missing one was the bodyguard, who had actually been knocked down by Feng Jun. As he was about to dash towards a shallow ditch, Feng Jun’s Divine Sense Attack hit him, making him roll and fall into the ditch.
However, after falling into the ditch, his head unfortunately hit a stone, and he passed out immediately.
The ditch was not deep, less than a meter, and only about seven or eight meters long. These small ditches and ridges were quite common in the plains. But the ditch was overgrown with weeds, so the man disappeared immediately.
The police did not know the guy was nearby; they only knew he was armed with a gun, and Feng Jun had no way to inform them.
So not only did the police start searching the nearby area, they also began knocking on the doors of the nearby households.
When Feng Jun saw the guy fall and not get up, he knew trouble was coming. He raised his hand to store Sofia’s car, quickly entered the house, and packed away the Jinwu Sunflower and Formation, "This is really bad; they might come to search."
Sofia, through his description of the situation, also analyzed the development direction, "Then what should I do, pretend to be on a date with you?"
When she said this, she wasn’t very enthusiastic, because... her carefully chosen "hideout" was about to be exposed.
"A date?" Feng Jun frowned, "Are there cameras around this courtyard?"
"There was one, but I broke it," Sofia whispered, "I didn’t want them to know I came here, so no one will doubt you being here."
"Hold on, listen to me, I don’t want any contact with the police... any contact," Feng Jun replied seriously, "So I plan to use the method from last time to take you away. There won’t be anyone here, what do you think?"
"Can you find another way?" Sofia pleaded, looking at him pitifully, "That darkness was really terrifying, and I don’t want to go through it a second time, please, can’t you make us both invisible?"
Invisible together? Feng Jun thought for a moment, and felt this suggestion was also good—he himself was quite resistant to entering the Spirit Beast Bag, and if there were other choices, he wouldn’t want to force others.
So he bent his legs and whispered, "Climb onto my back, and don’t make a sound."
"I understand," Sofia immediately jumped onto his back, wrapping her arms and legs tightly around him.
Feng Jun activated the Mirage King Bracer but didn’t rush to leave. Instead, he disturbed the aura in the room and courtyard before quietly taking off with Sofia. Just then, voices could be heard at the courtyard gate.
The police rang the doorbell twice, and when no one answered, they started banging on the door.
"Okay, this is a wealthy area," someone comforted the agitated guy, "I suggest using the infrared imaging device first; if no one is really there, this could get you a complaint."
"Damn rich folks," that person cursed, but honestly stopped right away, "Where’s the infrared device? Bring it over... do you want that guy to escape successfully?"
The infrared device was quickly brought over. After scanning, they indeed found no one, "Should we climb over the wall to check?"
Someone was clearly against it, "Don’t waste time, let the helicopter come."
