Chapter 759: 681_2
Zhao Qian froze, not expecting Wu Xu, who seemed amiable, to also have such a domineering side.
However, seeing his attitude towards her, Zhao Qian's face turned ugly, and she scoffed coldly: "Really? Then let's see if you can get out from here. I witnessed you fighting, and there is also a video. This is already considered personal assault, and I can detain you for twenty-four hours without anyone saying a word."
"Fine!" Wu Xu pulled out his phone and dialed immediately.
"Xu, the sun didn't rise from the west today, did it? You're actually calling me twice in such a short time?" Zhao Jun was having a good time, enjoying the massage by the lady, teasing Wu Xu in surprise.
Wu Xu said indifferently: "Nothing much, just that your brother is at the police station now.
"What!" On the other end, Zhao Jun jumped up, startling the lady who was massaging him.
"What's going on?" Zhao Jun's expression turned serious.
"I'm at the Public Security Bureau of Junshan City, heh, the person who arrested me is the biological daughter of the Junshan Public Security Director, and she wants to lock me up for twenty-four hours."
"Okay, wait there, I will make a call right now." Although Zhao Jun's relationship with Wu Xu was always troublesome, he acted differently in front of others. After hanging up, he dialed another number and spoke earnestly: "Secretary Liu..."
Watching Wu Xu put down the phone and close his eyes, looking calm, Zhao Qian began to feel a hint of unease. However, she had always been strong since she was young and had a solid background, so she would never take the threats of this seemingly shabby-looking man seriously.
"What? The connections you found aren't strong enough?"
After waiting for a while, but there was no response, Zhao Qian laughed. It seemed someone's connections weren't strong enough.
Wu Xu suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a sly smile, and said: "Officer Zhao, I'll be leaving soon."
"You're just all talk..."
Before Zhao Qian could finish her sentence, the door of the small room was suddenly opened, and a middle-aged policeman with a grim face entered.
"Dad?" Zhao Qian's eyes widened.
"Call me Director Zhao," the middle-aged policeman said with a commanding tone.
Zhao Qian pouted, then her expression changed, and she looked at Wu Xu: "You've come to bail him out?"
"Nonsense!" Director Zhao didn't answer her but instead gave a low and angry shout.
Zhao Qian was just about to explain when she saw the two policemen who had helped her arrest Wu Xu standing dejectedly behind Director Zhao.
Suddenly, Zhao Qian also deflated, glaring at Wu Xu hatefully.
"Aren't you going to release him?" Director Zhao said with an ugly expression.
Immediately, a policeman hurried to unlock Wu Xu's handcuffs.
Moving his wrists a bit, Wu Xu stood up and smiled: "Thank you, Director Zhao. Without you, I would have suffered a lot."
Director Zhao gave Zhao Qian a hard look, then his expression softened, and he smiled: "Mr. Wu, I'm glad you're alright. It's my daughter's fault this time; I hope Mr. Wu can forgive us."
"It's okay, after all, we're friends. It's just a joke, nothing serious. But I feel sorry that Director Zhao, busy as you are, had to worry about me," Wu Xu faced the situation with equanimity.
This surprised Director Zhao a bit. As someone who had been in the police force for years, now the Director of the Junshan Public Security, he naturally had an aura of authority. Unexpectedly, Wu Xu, a young man, was not intimidated at all. Quite a promising youth indeed.
"It's my duty, as a policeman, we must be strict with ourselves to enforce the law impartially! If one can't even do that, how can they be a policeman?" Director Zhao spoke frankly, full of righteousness, obviously disapproving of his daughter's actions this time.
"Heh, now that it's all over, Miss Zhao was just playing a joke on me, I hope Director Zhao won't blame her." Wu Xu smiled generously. His eyes shifted, briefly appraising Director Zhao, and inwardly he couldn't help but exclaim: "Such a square face and a commanding presence, truly a person full of righteousness."
Unable to resist, he glanced at Director Zhao's life state, and his facial expression stiffened, revealing a look of shock.
Director Zhao's head bore dozens of strands of defeatist white aura, among which a single purple-golden qi rose straight up. Although the purple-golden qi was strong, dignified, unyielding, and full of righteous energy, a bloody cloud pressed down upon Director Zhao's crown, starkly suppressing the purple-golden aura, causing it to dim.
"This, this is an omen of bloody disaster!"
Wu Xu was shocked in his heart.
Such dense omen of bloody disaster usually signified an impending doom.
In a sudden thought, Wu Xu looked at Zhao Qian and noticed that the blood qi above her head had thickened significantly too. Underneath the blood qi, the white aura and purple qi symbolizing life were becoming increasingly feeble.
"Shit, what's happening? How come both father and daughter look like they're on the brink of death?? Could it be there's someone inside the police station seeking to kill them?" Wu Xu couldn't help but wonder.
"Is Director Zhao in? I have a parcel here for him."
Just then, a young man wearing a peaked cap asked a female police officer at the reception desk, holding a packaged box.
"Director Zhao is on the third floor." The receptionist answered without suspicion.
"Okay!" The young man picked up the packaged box and swiftly made his way upstairs.
The door to the small room opened, and a police officer came in, saluting before saying, "Director Zhao, a young man has bought a package for you, it's said to be for you." Saying so, he handed over a packaged box.
"Oh, is someone sending me something?" Director Zhao took the package with surprise, about to open it.
Suddenly, Wu Xu felt his heart skip a beat, his entire being seemed engulfed by a horrific crisis, his body tensing as if disaster loomed, threatening his very life.
Almost instinctively, Wu Xu shouted, "Don't open it!"
Everyone in the small room was taken aback.
Wu Xu's forehead suddenly broke into a fine layer of sweat; without a second word, he rushed over to grab the package and then ran to the window to open it, only to see it was an empty backyard of the Public Security Bureau building. Hurriedly, he threw the package out.
"What are you doin..." Zhao Qian started to roar in anger.
Suddenly, an earth-shattering explosion came from outside the window, followed by the sound of countless shattering glasses.
The people in the small room were all well-trained police officers; hearing the noise, they instinctively ducked for cover.
Moments later, they raised their heads, their faces a mix of bewilderment and horror.
"Phew, that was close, so close! Almost lost my life." Wu Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead, his body feeling drained as if he had overextended himself.
After all, it was a bomb, about to explode – a sight Wu Xu had only seen on television, never expecting to experience it firsthand. It was thrilling beyond belief!
Director Zhao was the first one to get up from the ground, his face so grim it almost dripped with water. Beads of sweat were visible on his face, clearly showing how frightened he was.
Soon, the Public Security Bureau building was filled with alarm sounds, with countless police officers stirred into action.
"Mr. Wu, this time, thank you!" Director Zhao, regaining his composure, looked at Wu Xu with gratitude.
Wu Xu gave a wry smile: "Don't mention it, I was also saving my own skin! Shit, that was really hanging by a thread!"
Zhao Qian was the most embarrassed, her face turning red and then white, her gaze towards Wu Xu also changed.
"You, how did you know that package was a bomb?"
Wu Xu gave Zhao Qian a look and said unabashedly: "Do you know why I told Shi Miao I cast a curse on him? Let me tell you, I've had this sensitive sixth sense since I was young. Whenever there's something or an event that's dangerous, I get this huge premonition, like this time, as soon as that package came in, I felt like I was already in Hell. If I hadn't reacted a bit faster, by now I'd be playing Superman with a bomb."
Director Zhao's eyes brightened with amazement as he looked at Wu Xu. This was a heaven-defying skill for preserving one's life!
