Chapter 757: 680_2
At this moment, the policewoman walked out of the room, her face a mask of frost as she coldly addressed Wu Xu: "Law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be prosecuted. I hope I won't catch you."
Wu Xu was dumbfounded. People say women hold grudges, but this seemed excessive. Being targeted by a police officer was not a good sign.
A thought crossed his mind, and he looked above the policewoman's head, his expression becoming solemn.
This policewoman was no ordinary individual—amongst the fifty odd strands of white aura, a chopstick-thick purple aura shone brightly.
But in the next moment, Wu Xu was surprised to find a faint halo of blood-red aura enveloping the policewoman's head. However, the purple aura above her was constantly clashing with the blood cloud. Although the blood cloud couldn't be suppressed, it also couldn't be dispersed as the two auras endlessly contested each other.
"The purple aura actually has such an effect! Can it ward off calamity? Also, that blood aura seems quite similar to the green aura above Shi Miao's head, but this blood aura gives off a sense of death."
"An impending bloody disaster!"
Wu Xu was startled; a police officer facing such a fate certainly meant death in conflict. Such a young and voluptuous policewoman, wouldn't it be a pity if she were to perish?
Wu Xu intended to warn her, but recalling the unjust blame he almost faced when he mentioned it to Shi Miao, he now hesitated. If he told the policewoman, she might accuse him of spreading superstitions on the spot.
"Let's wait for another opportunity to talk about it. For now, she doesn't seem like one fated to die young." Wu Xu calmly watched the two police officers leave.
"Dude, actually making Young Master Zhao storm off, I'm impressed! Assistant Wu, you rock!"
Ding Ye and his two comrades approached Wu Xu, all wearing looks of admiration.
Wu Xu was taken aback: "What? You guys know that female police officer?"
"More than just know her, we grew up idolizing her. Zhao Qian, the only daughter of Junshan City's Director Zhao. We all grew up in the same courtyard. Back then, our grandparents' generation were all officials, all children of connected families. Zhao Qian is older than us; she was the wildest as a child, liked to play with boys, and was notoriously good at fighting. She was ruthless and often stood up for girls, earning her the nickname Young Master Zhao for being the most tomboyish." Zhou Xuan spoke with admiration.
Wu Xu was dumbstruck. Shit, just yesterday I was scheming to help you guys get even, and now you're watching me fall into a pit. That's not cool, not worldly society at all!
"Alright, actually, it's not that serious. Although Zhao Qian can be a bit... fierce, she surely isn't as ruthless as she was when she was a child. And now that she's a police officer, she must be more reasonable. I don't think she'll do anything to Assistant Wu," Ding Ye reassured earnestly.
Wu Xu rolled his eyes at him. Shit, it's not you who's crossed her, of course, you're not worried.
"Alright, Wu Xu, I think Shi Miao will not give up easily. I've helped you get a few days off from school. Just rest and don't bother with him," Coach Chen already fully sided with Wu Xu and believed in his innocence. Regarding Shi Miao's unreasonable harassment, he was even more indignant.
Wu Xu gratefully glanced at Coach Chen, and considering there was currently no need for him in the school's athletics department, he tacitly agreed to Coach Chen's arrangements.
After all, there was still the matter of the assassin girl at home giving him headaches. This was a good time to figure out a solution.
Leaving the gymnasium and about to exit the school gates, suddenly a girl rushed over and clung to Wu Xu's arm, gripping tightly.
Wu Xu was shocked, thinking he was being attacked by a female thug, but upon turning his head, he was flabbergasted.
The girl holding onto him was as beautiful as a peach blossom, skin fair as snow, yet her stunning face was filled with an urgent expression.
"Please help me!" the girl whispered desperately for aid.
A feeling of pity rose from the bottom of Wu Xu's heart as he thought, could some audacious bastard dare to harass women at the gates of Junshan University? Utter lawlessness.
"Bai Wei, why are you running? Young Master Dong just wants you to join him for his birthday, and you're not giving him face?" Four oddly dressed young men and women with unpleasant expressions on their faces came over.
At this moment, there were few pedestrians at the entrance of Junshan University, and even the old gatekeeper was nowhere to be seen.
Wu Xu's expression changed as he muttered to himself, "So her name is Bai Wei, hmm, Bai Wei? Isn't that the Peony, one of the Top Ten Beauties of Junshan University? How did she get entangled with those thugs from the outside?"
However, upon seeing those four youths with strange attires and chains all over, Wu Xu's eyes turned cold as he said, "What do you think you're doing?"
The four youths were taken aback by Wu Xu, not expecting someone to meddle.
"Our young master wants Miss Bai Wei to accompany him for his birthday, it's none of your business, get lost," said one of the long-haired youths disdainfully.
Usually, when confronted with their fierce demeanor, the students of Junshan University would be scared into retreating.
But Wu Xu was not one of those timid students.
"What do you mean it's none of my business? Try laying a finger on my girlfriend and see if I don't beat the shit out of you!" Wu Xu glared angrily at the four.
"Your girlfriend?" All four were somewhat taken aback, could such a coincidence be real?
"Don't believe him, Brother Xiaodao. The Top Ten Beauties of Junshan University don't have boyfriends. Just look at how shabby he's dressed; does he look like he could be the boyfriend of a campus beauty?" The young girl among them sneered, exposing Wu Xu's lie.
"Shit! Daring to play me," thought the long-haired youth, who then flew into a rage, charged forward, and raised his hand to slap Wu Xu.
"Seeking death!"
Wu Xu has never been sympathetic to such trouble-making hooligans. With a kick, he hit the thug squarely in the chest, kicking him three to four meters away, where he fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a while.
"Brother Xiaodao! Shit, he dares to ambush, beat him up!" The remaining three were taken aback and charged at Wu Xu without a second word.
Wu Xu was calmly unafraid, embracing the beauty in his arms, and strutted with style. With every turn and strike, he sent a thug flying. In a matter of moments, all four were lying on the ground, groaning in pain and unable to rise.
Bai Wei no longer felt fear at this moment, she looked at Wu Xu in amazement. She was hoping to encounter someone with a sense of justice to fend off the disaster for her; she didn't expect to meet an expert!
Moreover, Bai Wei recognized who Wu Xu was – the person who joined Junshan University last week and gained fame yesterday for the scandal involving Liu Yanyan, Assistant Wu.
Thinking of how she threw herself into Wu Xu's arms and clung so tightly, Bai Wei felt her face flushing and her heartbeat accelerating. Yet, gazing at Wu Xu's handsome, sunny face, his contemptuous look at the enemy, and his awe-inspiring dominance, she found herself not wanting to let go of Wu Xu's arm she was grabbing, instead holding on even tighter.
"A bunch of scum, if I ever see you again, it won't just be a lesson like today," Wu Xu said with a cold laugh. At that moment, Wu Xu felt especially good, as these opportunities to hold a beauty in his arms and display manly valor weren't common.
The four thugs were now terrified, scrambling to their feet and quickly retreating from Wu Xu. After viciously leaving a few words behind, they fled in panic.
"Cough cough! Bai Wei, can you let go now?"
The thugs had left, but Bai Wei was still holding onto Wu Xu's arm tightly. Although the sensation of her chest rubbing against him felt nice, Wu Xu was still somewhat unused to such public displays of closeness.
Bai Wei suddenly came back to her senses, her face blushing as she let go and awkwardly said, "Thank you, thank you, Assistant Wu."
"Hehe, no problem, any man would not stand by idly in such a situation," Wu Xu said with a smile.
"That's not necessarily true." Bai Wei pursed her lips and then curiously looked at Wu Xu, "Assistant Wu, you are really skilled! Have you practiced Taekwondo?"
"No, I just got into fights when I was a kid, got used to it after a few brawls."
