Chapter Fifty-Five: Crisis

  "Oh! My child!"

  Everyone was still packing their clothes when they heard a loud cry not far away, and it sounded like Zhou Shu's voice. Everyone's nerves were tense, and as they wanted to run over to see what had happened, Zhou Shu had already stumbled over, crying out:

  "Xiao Hui has been snatched away and run down by a car, hurry up and save her!"

  "What! In broad daylight, someone is so daring and reckless!"

  Everyone who heard Zhou Shu's cry thought of this. Zhou Wenping's legs softened when he heard the bad news, and he almost sat back on the bed, but as the head of the family, he immediately came to his senses, ran towards the police room while shouting: "Trouble you to help me find my child, I'll go report the case!"

  At this critical moment, Wen Cong, who was sleeping on the middle bunk, pointed vaguely outside and said, "Why is Xiaohui being carried by someone else and running?"

  Everyone rushed to look in that direction and saw a man in his thirties holding the crying Wen Hui, running towards the underground passage at an extremely fast speed.

  Seeing this, Chu Chen didn't say anything and quickly ran out of the carriage. He then used all his strength to chase after the man at an extremely surprising speed, instantly covering a distance of 20-30 meters, giving Li Guodong and others a feeling of being overtaken before they could even react.

  When the man was about ten meters away from the intersection of the underground passage, he turned his head and saw that Chu Chen seemed to be approaching him at a bullet-like speed, which made him suddenly panic. In a state of confusion, he bumped into a middle-aged man in front of him.

  This collision immediately caused the two to lose their balance, and they both fell to the ground. Wen Hui was also thrown far away, lying on the ground wailing loudly.

  At this point, Chu Chen's heart suddenly tightened, and when he got closer, he exerted his strength to the utmost. Before the man could stand up, he jumped over to Wen Hui's side, then hugged her and rolled away from the man a short distance.

  "Damn you, old mother! What's wrong with you, can't even watch where you're walking?" The middle-aged man got up from the ground, covering his injured hand, and started scolding the other man. However, he soon stopped and ran away in the distance because the other man had pulled out a 4-5 inch long dagger.

  "Get out!"

  The man yelled at the middle-aged man, then turned his head and shouted angrily at Chu Chen: "You little boy, hand over the child if you know what's good for you, otherwise let you taste what it means to go in with a white knife and come out with a red one!"

  Chu Chen was taken aback by the words, this person was really too arrogant, even at this point he didn't think of escaping, it was simply reckless to the extreme. However, this was exactly what he wanted, if that person escaped with Wen Hui by his side, he would have a hard time chasing after him.

  Then Chu Chen comforted Wen Hui for a while, let her stand in place, and then rushed directly to that person. Seeing this, not only was the criminal stunned, but Chu Yulan and others were also shocked and covered their mouths.

  The man should have been a wicked villain, immediately reacting, with an evil smile on his face, his right hand swung up the dagger and stabbed towards Chu Chen's heart.

  However, just as the man was about to stab him, still an arm's length away from Chu Chen, Chu Chen's left hand suddenly grasped and grabbed, instantly firmly grasping the man's right wrist. With a swift strike of his elbow, the man was sent flying out.

  Chu Chen's this move, with a loud crash, sent the man flying out four or five meters, slamming into a pillar with a "thud", then rolling on the ground for several rounds, unable to get up for a long time.

  Fortunately, Chu Chen noticed the extent of it, and most of this move was done with clever force, otherwise this person would have been directly knocked out. Even so, all the people present, including the police who came later, were stunned by this scene, and at this time everyone's mind had only one thought, "Is this a movie shoot?"

  Zhou Wenping was the first to react and shouted at Li Guodong who was running ahead: "Go take a look at Xiao Chuan, don't let him do something stupid!"

  Li Guodong reacted after hearing the words, and hurriedly ran to Chu Chen's side, telling him not to get any closer to that man. The others followed Zhou Shu to Wen Hui's side.

  Zhou Shu hastily checked Wen Hui's body, fortunately, she only had some abrasions on her hands from the fall earlier, and there were no other problems. Seeing this, Zhou Shu couldn't hold back her emotions and burst into tears while hugging Wen Hui, who was also crying loudly after being frightened.

  Wen Yuting and the others could only comfort the mother and daughter, while Zhou Wenping looked at Chu Chen, who was being questioned by the police on the side, and said with some concern: "I don't know how that person is doing, will Xiao Chen be okay?"

  Chu Yulan quickly made a phone call to the side after hearing this, while Wen Yuting comforted them: "Yulan has relatives in the provincial public security department who are leaders. As long as that person didn't suffer any fatal injuries, there shouldn't be any problems. Besides, Chu Ge was also acting in self-defense at the time."

  Just as Zhou Wenping and his wife were about to let out a sigh of relief, one of the police officers came over to them with an official expression and said: "This matter requires you to go to our station to make a statement. You should pack up your things and follow us."

  Zhou Wenping smiled wryly and said, "Comrade, we're in a hurry to get to Xijing, and you've seen what's going on. Can you help us out and be flexible? Also, I'd like to ask, how is my friend doing now?"

  The police officer said in a somewhat harsh tone, "No way, this matter can't be compromised. As for your friend, we'll have to wait until the other person has been checked out. If that person is seriously injured, it's possible that we'll even charge him with excessive self-defense."

  When he said that, Zhou Wenping and his wife suddenly became anxious. If something unexpected happened to their child, Chu Chen, they would definitely be uneasy in their conscience.

  "Comrade, would you mind answering this phone call?" Just as Zhou Wenping and his wife were about to ask the conductor again, Chu Yulan walked over with her mobile phone and handed it to the conductor.

  The traffic police were somewhat surprised by this, wondering if there was some backing to this group of people. He picked up his phone and walked to the side to answer it, but after just a few sentences, he showed a nodding and bowing attitude.

  Two or three minutes later, the police officer carefully returned the phone to Chu Yulan and then said with a serious tone: "Everyone, we have already understood this matter in detail. We will not let off any criminal suspects. You can leave your contact information, and when the time comes, we will notify you of the results of the case. Finally, I wish you all a pleasant journey."

  After Zhou Wenping gave him his phone number, the traffic police officer bowed politely to everyone and then turned around and left, muttering as he walked: "If you have a backstage, why didn't you say so earlier? You wasted my tongue."

  At this, Zhou Wenping and his wife were speechless at the same time, and finally let out a sigh of relief. Later, Zhou Wenping thanked Chu Yulan with gratitude: "Xiao Lan, thank you so much! If it wasn't for you, I don't know how much trouble we would have had!"

  Chu Yulan smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, this is just a trivial matter, besides the facts are all here. This person still wants us to go to the office to make a record, bureaucracy is really serious."

  Just as he finished speaking, Chu Chen and Li Guotong also walked over from that side. Zhou Wenping hastily asked with concern: "Xiao Chen, how are you? Are you okay?"

  Chu Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing. Besides, I didn't use my full strength earlier, so that person shouldn't have any problems. However, at the beginning, the police told me it might be excessive self-defense, but later they said it was a heroic act of justice. Earlier, I saw you handing your phone to that person, so it should be thanks to your help, right? Thank you very much."

  Chu Yulan smiled and said, "There's no need to thank me for this. You've been working so hard for Xiao Hui, I should help out a bit. However, if you really want to thank me, just teach me some of your insights on gambling stones."

  "That's definitely no problem."

  Chu Chen agreed without hesitation, and at this time the train was not far from departure, so everyone rushed to get on the train.

  Wen Yuting ran alongside him, asking Li Guodong in a somewhat puzzled tone: "Guodong, why were you and Zhou Ge so worried that Chu Ge would harm that person just now?"

  Li Guodong replied: "Hey, you don't know, Xiao Chuan was kidnapped and sold when he was a child, do you think he won't be resentful?"

  "Ah!"

  Wen Yuting and the others were shocked upon hearing this, while Chu Yulan was so shocked that she stopped in her tracks, her face filled with a mixture of astonishment, hesitation, and conflict.

  "Xiao Lan, what are you standing there like a fool for? The train is about to depart!" Chu Chen shouted loudly at her from the doorway of the car.

  Chu Yulan was suddenly awakened by this shout, and she hurriedly waved to Chu Chen, running onto the train without stopping...

  On the train, they thanked the passengers next to them for taking care of Wen Li and Wen Cong. Then, they helped Wen Hui treat her wound. Wen Hui was frightened and looked listless, so everyone took turns comforting her, telling her various jokes from time to time.

  Afterwards, everyone ate a simple breakfast while discussing what had just happened.

  "Chu Ge, I didn't expect you to be a martial artist's son, and such a formidable one at that. At the time, I thought we were filming a martial arts movie!" Wen Yuting exclaimed while eating her bread.

  Li Guodong also excitedly chimed in, "Yuting is right, I was stunned at the time. I knew you were skilled in martial arts before, but I didn't expect your strength to be so powerful. If there's no restriction, can you teach me sometime too? It's really cool!"

  Chu Chen smiled and said, "I learned the family's Tai Chi Fist, which includes borrowing force. Otherwise, do you think that relying solely on one's own strength can knock someone so far away? As for learning, you are indeed capable of learning, but if you want to achieve something, you must persevere. Moreover, since you're older, the effect of learning will be somewhat inferior, and it's definitely not comparable to Little Hui and the others."
