Chapter 223: Chapter 143: Chun Chun Meets a Max-Level Boss_2
"Of course, there’s no problem. Zhou Fan hasn’t made any mistakes. As family members, you are naturally allowed to visit," the police chief said. "Xiao Wu, go get Zhou Fan."
Hearing this, the officer beside him nodded and then went into the interrogation room.
Before long, Zhou Fan emerged. When he saw that both his sister and his wife were there, Zhou Fan was stunned and a bit bewildered. "Ming Yi, Xin Xin, why have you two come?"
Upon hearing Zhou Fan’s words, Xin Xin immediately rolled her eyes and then said, "Out with it. What’s really going on?"
"This..." Zhou Fan hesitated. He looked towards Zhao Ruchang, about to ask if it was okay to discuss the matter.
But before he could speak, his gaze landed on a handsome young man standing not far away. One look confirmed it: they were adversaries!
"How did you get out?"
"Why haven’t you left yet?"
Almost simultaneously, Zhang Beixing and Zhou Fan stared at each other, both equally baffled.
Zhang Beixing was baffled as to why Zhou Fan, this supposed ’terrorist’, could move so freely around the police station. Normally, someone like him—caught carrying a knife at night and clearly up to no good—wouldn’t just be interrogated and then allowed to roam free. He should have been detained, or at least handcuffed, to restrict his movement and prevent him from suddenly attacking someone.
Zhou Fan, on the other hand, was baffled as to why Zhang Beixing hadn’t left yet. According to police procedure, after they had given their statements and it was clear this was all a misunderstanding, Zhang Beixing and his group should have departed. But now, not only had they not left, but even their superiors had arrived. What in the world is going on?
Looking at each other, both fell into deep thought.
Just then, a deep, resonant voice suddenly came from the lounge. "Zhang Beixing, what exactly is happening out here? Why is it so chaotic? You didn’t cause trouble again, did you, kid?"
Then, a portly man in his fifties, looking puzzled, walked out of the lounge. This was Liu Yi.
A minute or two had passed since Zhang Beixing had gone out, saying he was going to watch the commotion. Not only had Zhang Beixing not returned, but things outside had actually gotten noisier after he left. If it were anyone else, Liu Yi probably wouldn’t have thought much of it. But the problem was, the person who had gone out was Zhang Beixing. He was the type who felt restless, as if he had ants crawling all over him, if a day went by without him stirring up some trouble.
Therefore, Liu Yi came out to check, wary that Zhang Beixing was up to some mischief. And upon looking, Liu Yi was stunned.
He saw that, at some point, several soldiers had appeared in the police station lobby. And among these soldiers was an incredibly familiar old codger. Wait, a familiar old codger?
Liu Yi frowned. Looking closer, he saw the other man squinting back at him. Their eyes met, and after a moment:
"Xiao Yi?"
"Brother?"
Liu Pan and Liu Yi spoke, one after the other.
Hearing this exchange, Zhao Ruchang, standing next to Liu Pan, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Coach Liu, do you know this man?"
"Yes, he’s my brother," Liu Pan responded. "And as I mentioned before, he’s currently the top practitioner of Yue Family’s Chain Fist in all of Great Xia. Second only to a Grandmaster—that’s Liu Yi!"
Zhao Ruchang nodded in understanding, his eyes lighting up. "Ah, so it’s him! Haha, I was wondering why he looked so much like you at first glance, Coach Liu. In that case, you two go ahead and chat."
Hearing this, Liu Pan nodded. He then looked towards Liu Yi. Liu Pan recalled that of the two ’public-spirited citizens’ who had brought Zhou Fan’s group of five to the police station, one was confirmed to be the young man he’d just seen, Zhang Beixing. And the other one... Liu Pan thought. He then asked Liu Yi with a peculiar expression, "Liu Yi, don’t tell me you’re the other ’public-spirited citizen’ who brought the ’terrorists’ to the police station?"
Hearing this, Liu Yi was somewhat taken aback. "Yes, brother, how did you know? I don’t recall telling you! Oh, man, you have no idea the effort we went through to confirm the identities of these ’terrorists’ and capture them..."
Although Liu Yi wasn’t entirely sure how Liu Pan knew about the incident without him saying anything, he didn’t dwell on it. Right now, recounting his thrilling tale of capturing ’terrorists’ to his older brother was exactly what Liu Yi wanted to do! Opportunities to show off in front of his older brother were rare! With this in mind, Liu Yi launched into an enthusiastic account.
He completely failed to notice that upon hearing his words, Liu Pan’s already peculiar expression became even more so, almost contorting slightly. Liu Pan discreetly glanced at Zhou Fan, who, due to his position, Liu Yi hadn’t noticed yet.
Suddenly, Liu Pan understood why Zhou Fan, despite the emergency training he’d given him, had still been beaten so badly! It was because Zhou Fan had run into a true expert! It was like a newbie fresh out of the tutorial zone running straight into a max-level boss. Who else but him would lose in that situation? Unless it was a military combat situation involving weapons and equipment, if it came to Bare Hands, Zhou Fan truly stood no chance of winning.
Realizing this, a touch of pity entered Liu Pan’s eyes as he looked at Zhou Fan.
Liu Yi, growing more animated as he spoke, declared: "Speaking of which, brother, my apprentice played an indispensable role in our ability to uncover and capture this group of ’terrorists’!"
