Chapter 302: The Farce Ends_2
So their attention was all focused on Ah Liang.
Ah Liang didn't expect the two to act so decisively; he barely had time to explain before they swung the steel pipes at him. The distance was too close, forcing him to raise his hands to defend in panic.
With a dull thud, Ah Liang felt a surge of pain in his arm.
Fortunately, having served in the military for several years, his reflexes weren't bad. After being struck by Brother Cat's first steel pipe, he quickly reacted and grabbed the steel pipe swung by Huang Mao from the other side.
"Holy shit?! Brother Cat, my steel pipe got caught by him!"
Huang Mao was startled to see his steel pipe caught and quickly shouted to inform Brother Cat.
"What a useless guy!"
Brother Cat saw it and didn't dare to be careless. Although cursing, he continued his actions without hesitation, switched his footing, and circled to Ah Liang's side, raising the steel club to target Ah Liang's head.
Seeing this, Ah Liang didn't have time to snatch Huang Mao's steel club and had to raise his hand to protect his head while retreating to create some distance.
Brother Cat and Huang Mao had much more fighting experience than Chen Xuliang and cooperated well, gaining an initial advantage over Ah Liang.
"Looks like you guys fight often, huh, you've got some skills."
Once Ah Liang successfully moved away from them, he rubbed his arm that had been hit, his expression turning cold and becoming more serious.
At the same time, Brother Cat noticed Li Jing approaching and realized that with a two-on-two, their odds of winning weren't high. He whispered to Huang Mao, "I'll keep this big guy busy; go grab the bag, and once you have it, start the car."
"What about that guy?" Hearing this, Huang Mao glanced sideways at the approaching Li Jing.
"If you can't beat this big guy, can't you handle that guy?!"
Brother Cat glared at him and whispered again, "But don't get caught up in the fight; the key is to grab the bag and drive."
"Okay!"
"Move!"
With that, the two swiftly launched another attack, this time charging in two different directions.
Brother Cat swung his steel club at Ah Liang, while Huang Mao quickly ran towards the bag.
But on the other side of the bag was Li Jing, who had already arrived.
Seeing Li Jing about to pick up the bag, Huang Mao shouted while charging with his steel pipe, "If you don't want to die, don't touch that bag!"
Bam!
A dull sound emerged.
Huang Mao's steel pipe smashed squarely towards Li Jing's face.
However, Li Jing didn't panic or dodge as expected; instead, he calmly reached out to block it, firmly grabbing the steel pipe swung with full force.
What the hell?!
Why is my luck so bad today?
How did the steel pipe get caught again?!
Huang Mao was shocked and furious.
Being caught by that big guy was one thing, but now even a seemingly gentle and frail man could thwart him, which he couldn't accept. He immediately kicked fiercely towards Li Jing.
But before his foot made contact, his face changed dramatically.
He saw Li Jing reach out his other hand directly to grab his neck and lift him off the ground from where he stood.
"You?!"
Huang Mao's pupils contracted, filled with astonishment.
He realized he was being held by the neck, raised off the ground, and despite kicking the air furiously, he couldn't touch the floor.
His neck felt clamped by an iron vise; no matter how hard he struggled with both hands, he couldn't move Li Jing at all.
"Uh... uh..."
Looking at Huang Mao struggling in his hand, Li Jing furrowed his brow slightly and calmly asked, "Are you and that robber earlier partners?"
After the altercation with Chen Xuliang, Li Jing had a clear understanding of his own strength.
He knew that he could subdue the opponent with just the right force, ensuring they could still breathe and not suffocate.
"I... you..."
Huang Mao wasn't in the mood to answer Li Jing's question. Seeing the expressionless man before him, he was utterly terrified.
What kind of monster is this?!
How can he lift me with one hand? How much strength does that take?
Brother Cat said he was easy to deal with?
Brother Cat, you bastard...
Meanwhile, Ah Liang and Brother Cat, in the middle of a fight, were also drawn to the scene.
Seeing Huang Mao lifted by the neck with just one move, both of them stopped their actions, dumbfounded.
"Holy shit???"
Brother Cat's eyes almost popped out in disbelief as he looked at Li Jing.
And Li Jing looked back at him.
Li Jing had observed the four earlier and figured the bald, short, middle-aged man was their leader. He asked again, "What's your relationship with that robber?"
"I..."
Seeing the scene, Brother Cat didn't dare to think of resisting. Just as he was about to explain, there was a roar from behind.
"You dare mess with Brother Cat and Huang Mao? You must have a death wish!!"
The two men who had gone after Chen Xuliang were back with his bruised and battered self.
Seeing the situation at the gate, they didn't bother to understand; they charged forward with steel pipes.
Meanwhile, Chen Xuliang, dragged back, had lost the strength to run. Seeing the scene shocked him at first, but soon he was inwardly celebrating the misfortune of the two men.
As Chen Xuliang anticipated, it took less than two minutes for the men, who had charged so aggressively, to be thrown to the ground in terror.
Seeing the robust Ah Liang and the fearsome strength of Li Jing before them, Brother Cat and his gang were all paralyzed with fear.
"It's a misunderstanding... it's really a misunderstanding, sir..."
"Shut up and stay put! Hands on your head and squat by the wall!"
Before Brother Cat could say more, Ah Liang roared at them, scaring the four into scrambling to the wall.
As Li Jing glanced at Chen Xuliang not far away, he shivered, forced to suppress his pain, and moved to the wall without daring to move.
By then, Zhang Xinxin and her group had hurriedly come out from the neighborhood.
Seeing Li Jing about to speak with concern, they stopped in surprise, staring at the five people squatting in a line by the gate.
"Who are they..."
"They're accomplices; they've all given up resisting."
Hearing Li Jing's calm response, Zhang Xinxin and her companions widened their eyes in disbelief, looking at the five.
"There are five of them? And you caught them all??"
...
Moments later, police cars quickly arrived at the scene.
Learning that there had been an armed robbery at home, the station dispatched two cars and six officers immediately.
But when they arrived at the neighborhood gate and saw Brother Cat and the others behaving like scared rabbits, the officers were stunned.
Especially after hearing the story, they looked at Li Jing and Ah Liang with disbelief, never having encountered such an absurd case before.
Particularly, noting the look of dread in Brother Cat's eyes when looking at Li Jing, the officers' expressions were extraordinarily colorful, unable to fathom how outrageous the earlier events had been.
Subsequently, according to the process, everyone was taken to the police station, including Li Jing, Zhang Xinxin, and the others.
Although a robbery and assault case was severe, the situation was incredibly simple and clear-cut.
Both the robber, Chen Xuliang, and the victims, Zhang Xinxin, and Brother Cat's group, along with Li Jing, answered truthfully, providing clear evidence and information.
In just about an hour, Li Jing and the others walked out of the police station successfully.
A police officer even smiled as they left the station, saying complexly, "President Li, this is the first time we've cracked a criminal case so easily."
"No problem, just lending a hand."
Li Jing smiled slightly and took Ah Liang, Zhang Xinxin, and the others toward the Maybach parked at the entrance.
Seeing the imposing Ah Liang respectfully open the car door for Li Jing, with the beautiful Zhang Xinxin following behind and Li Jing maintaining his calm demeanor as he got into the car, the police officer couldn't help but feel a sense of envy:
"President Li, what an extraordinary presence..."
