Chapter 233: Ouyang Bing's Despair
At this moment, there were still many pedestrians on Top Scholar Street, but the sudden outbreak of fighting stirred up a wave of panic in everyone's hearts. This was a scene that could only be seen in martial arts dramas; how could it suddenly appear in real life?
As branches from the large trees on both sides of the street inexplicably broke and fell, many people screamed in fright, covering their heads and fleeing.
Those with more courage stood at a distance to watch the commotion, some even took out their phones to call the police.
However, after making the call, they waited a long time without seeing any police cars arrive.
Not even a shadow of an officer appeared, as if all the police had gone home to sleep.
Bang! Bang!!!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...
From Star-Moon Bridge came the sounds of intense fighting, where three figures darted under the dim streetlights, leaping and intertwining like rabbits, stirring up dust and fallen leaves that danced in the air...
Meanwhile, in the office of the Criminal Investigation Team, Ouyang Bing furrowed her brows tightly, her face as pale as water, restlessly pacing back and forth in the room.
Several on-duty Criminal Police Officers had been summoned to her office, standing there like wooden stakes.
The few detectives were dizzy from her spinning figure.
"Captain, someone reported again that there are three people at Top Scholar Lane and Star-Moon Bridge..." a Young Detective rushed in, panting.
Ouyang Bing suddenly stopped, her knife-like gaze fixed on the Young Detective's face, and asked, "Is anyone dead?"
The Young Detective replied, "It seems not, but several streetlight poles have been broken and fallen to the ground."
"What else?" Ouyang Bing asked.
"Also, an Aunt saw the scene and was so scared she cried, two young men wet their pants, and three Girls were taking photos with their phones, saying they wanted to upload them online, and four..."
Bang!
Ouyang Bing slapped the Young Detective on the head and shouted, "Who told you to tell me all this? I meant those three people!"
The Young Detective looked aggrieved and said, "They... they are fighting fiercely..."
"Get out!" Ouyang Bing yelled.
"Yes!"
The Young Detective responded loudly, turned to leave, but suddenly heard Ouyang Bing's voice behind him, "Come back!"
The Young Detective replied again and turned back.
Ouyang Bing asked, "Find out who made that emergency call and tell them to keep a close watch on the fight between those three people. If anything unexpected happens, they must report it immediately, with a generous reward!"
"Is it a cash reward? How much?" Young Detective asked cautiously.
Ouyang Bing shot him a glare and said, "One hundred, no, one thousand... or maybe ten thousand!"
"Got it!" Young Detective turned and ran out.
The few detectives in the room remained standing like wooden posts.
One of the Big Guy detectives swallowed nervously and asked, "Captain, we received an emergency call. Why aren't we responding?"
"This is an order from above; we are not allowed to respond!" Ouyang Bing shouted impatiently.
The team members exchanged glances, confused by the situation. There was a fight happening, and it was life-threatening, yet they were not permitted to go to the scene?
This seemed unprecedented in the Galaxy Police system.
Not only did this frustrate the Criminal Police Officers, but Ouyang Bing also felt deeply troubled, even having an urge to bang her head against the wall. She had learned through special channels that one of those three people was Xiao Yun.
This meant that the other two had come from out of town specifically to deal with Xiao Yun, and they had been given a kill order.
If they couldn't handle Xiao Yun on Top Scholar Lane, then there would be even tougher opponents waiting for them on Qing Shui Street.
Who else could issue such orders to the police besides the High Level of the Dragon Team?
Xiao Yun When did I offend someone from Dragon Team High Level?
I remember that before the incident at the Duan Family, Xiao Yun went to Provincial Capital Pearl University. That day, Ouyang Bing received a secret order from Dragon Sister to let Duan Haoran go and to gather detailed information about Xiao Yun, reporting back to her at any time. At that moment, she suspected whether he had come into contact with Dragon Sister.
As a member of Dragon Team, the most High Level person that Ouyang Bing knew was Dragon Sister.
However, this knowledge was limited only to phone conversations; she had no idea what she looked like or what kind of work she usually did.
Why did Dragon Sister order a hit on Xiao Yun?
Could the issue lie in her reporting materials?
Ouyang Bing thought for a moment. The first time she compiled information about Xiao Yun, she sent it to Dragon Sister. The materials mainly mentioned his ability to treat illnesses through bone painting and how he killed Orchid Daoist on Wohu Mountain, among other things. The second report was about how Xiao Yun defeated Gu Tianfeng at Dead End.
These matters were all good news for Dragon Team, with no issues at all.
Oh right, she almost forgot that yesterday she also reported to Dragon Sister about Xiao Yun wanting to start a company, but there was nothing wrong with that either.
So where did the problem lie?
Ouyang Bing was puzzled.
She knew that once Dragon Team decided that someone must die, then that person would definitely not survive in this world.
With Xiao Yun's extraordinary skills, it was indeed unimaginable for an ordinary person; but the experts within Dragon Team were not something an ordinary person could fathom. Even if Xiao Yun had the ability to traverse heaven and earth, it would be difficult for him to escape tonight's calamity.
——Beast, big rogue, Sister knows you like me. If I had known you would end up like this, I would have let you be a beast for a while, so you wouldn't die with regrets!
It's all my fault for pretending to be serious. I clearly like him, and being treated like this by him won't kill me!
Sigh...
Ouyang Bing waved at the detectives, and they quickly exited the office.
Once those people left, Ouyang Bing could no longer control the pain in her heart, and tears streamed down her face.
At that moment, she realized she couldn't live without Xiao Yun. Despite him being such a beast, she liked this side of him.
She even thought about what would happen to Ouyang Xiaomei if Xiao Yun were gone.
It was all her fault; back then, she hesitated because he was her fake Sister and real stepmother, and she didn't let that beast treat her in that peculiar way. She probably wouldn't have another chance now.
55555...
Ouyang Bing buried her face on the desk and cried bitterly.
As she cried, she suddenly thought about something. From Rose Garden Community, passing through Jincheng South Road, then to Top Scholar Lane, and finally to Qing Shui Street—where was Xiao Yun headed?
Clearly, someone had called him or arranged to meet somewhere, then ambushed him on the way and killed him in one blow.
Compared to the entire Galactic District, Top Scholar Lane and Qing Shui Street had fewer pedestrians; the streets were wide and suitable for an ambush.
Could it be that Dragon Sister personally came to the galaxy? If she really did come and had met Xiao Yun, she must have his phone number. It would be perfectly reasonable for her to invite him out.
So, what excuse did she use to get him out?
Xiao Yun must have said something to the Three Women before leaving home. Although it no longer mattered in the current situation, Ouyang Bing couldn't help but want to figure it out.
Ouyang Bing first thought of Feng Xia, who was staying at Xiao Yun's house, hoping to get some information from her.
She dialed a number on her phone, but the other party's phone indicated it was turned off. Clearly, that girl had already gone to sleep.
Wow, damn it, how could Brother Xiao care so much about you and still sleep soundly?
Ouyang Bing then called Nie Xiaoqian, but again got a shut-off response. What was going on?
Little did she know that Nie Xiaoqian was busy studying financial management in front of her computer. She had turned off her phone to avoid any interruptions during her studies.
Ouyang Bing was getting anxious and began to overthink. Could something have happened at Xiao Yun's house?
It seemed she had no choice but to try calling An Yiran.
But then she suddenly remembered that after An Yiran left the Criminal Investigation Team, she deleted her phone number and couldn't recall it now.
It's all An Yiran's fault! If you hadn't gotten so close to Xiao Yun, Sister wouldn't have deleted your number!
For some reason, just thinking about An Yiran made her angry.
"Come in!" Ouyang Bing suddenly shouted.
A few Criminal Police Officers, aware that their violent female captain was acting a bit unusual tonight, stood outside the door and didn't dare to go far. Upon hearing her call, they rushed in and lined up.
Ouyang Bing rolled her eyes and asked, "Who has An Yiran's phone number?"
A short team member eagerly chimed in, "Captain, I have it!" He then recited the number.
Finally, they managed to get through to An Yiran: "Hello, this is Ouyang Bing. Do you know if Xiao Yun is at home?"
She thought her question sounded polite enough and wouldn't come off as too abrupt.
On the other end, An Yiran laughed and said, "He's not here. I saw him leave in his car tonight, but I don't know where he went. Are you looking for him for something?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just miss him!" As soon as the words left her mouth, Ouyang Bing regretted it. Why did I say that in front of her? Isn't that just reminding her to be on guard against me in the future?
But would there even be a future?
She originally wanted to inform An Yiran about Xiao Yun's current situation so she could lend a hand, but then she thought about An Yiran's capabilities—how could she possibly handle the Dragon Team?
Plus, with Xiao Yun being such a flirt, if he saw her struggling against an opponent, it would only distract him...
—What should I do?
Just as Ouyang Bing was feeling flustered and about to hang up the phone, the team members in the office were laughing heartily. It was the first time they had heard their captain openly express that she missed a man in front of so many people.
Ouyang Bing's face flushed, but she quickly composed herself and shouted, "What’s so funny? Have you all never thought about women? You can think about women, but can’t Sister think about men for a moment?"
As if her words weren't enough to vent her anger, her almost murderous gaze swept across the faces of the team members one by one. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Don't think I don't know. Some guys actually used their phones to secretly take pictures of Sister while at work. Instead of doing their jobs properly, they dared to fantasize over Sister's photos. Hmph!"
Her cold snort was like a thunderclap on a clear day, causing one short team member's face to turn pale instantly. With a thud, he collapsed to the ground.
At that moment, the voice of the Young Detective came from the doorway: "Report, Captain. I just received a call about new developments near Top Scholar Lane and Star-Moon Bridge..."
Meanwhile, An Yiran hung up the phone, feeling dazed. What did Ouyang Bing mean by making that call? Was she trying to provoke me?
No way. Given Ouyang Bing's personality, unless she suddenly lost her mind, she wouldn't make such a call under normal circumstances.
What on earth is going on?
If An Yiran knew that Xiao Yun was in extreme danger at that very moment, she would probably forget about everything else and rush to rescue Xiao Yun. The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
