Chapter 349: Chapter 349

Two figures swiftly got out of the car and walked over, dust stirring in the beam of the headlights.

Those two moved with agility and precision, engaging with the group surrounding Zhou Li without saying a word.

Zhou Li was startled. When she looked closely, she recognized that familiar face—it was Li Jing!

Li Jing, dressed in a sleek black tracksuit, moved nimbly through the opposing crowd.

He used both his hands and feet fluidly, his clothes flapping in the wind, the sheer power evident to any bystander.

With every move and strike, he hit accurately, landing punches with force. The middle-aged man before him didn’t have time to react, only managing a muffled grunt before being driven back repeatedly.

Brother Dao, seeing this, was both shocked and enraged. With a glance, he signaled to the two beside him to tackle Li Jing together, attempting to use their advantage in numbers to subdue him.

Facing the three men, Li Jing remained composed, his gaze steady. First, he skillfully sidestepped to avoid a frontal attack, effortlessly swinging one man with a club towards the other approaching him.

Just as the two men collided, Li Jing was already advancing, fiercely kicking towards Brother Dao’s wrist.

In pain and unable to dodge, Brother Dao dropped the iron rod he was holding, sending it flying out of his hand.

Before he could react, Li Jing’s cold face appeared inches from his own, making Brother Dao’s pupils contract in fear.

Then Li Jing powerfully launched his punches—hook, straight, knee strike, kick.

Brother Dao’s broad body staggered back continually from the blows, eventually crashing into a pile of sand on the ground, his whole body aching, unable to stand.

On the other side, Ah Liang was not lagging behind either. With agility, he deftly dodged the opponents’ attacks, then seized the moment to forcefully counterattack, knocking down everyone who got close.

Seeing the seven or eight fierce middle-aged men now all lying on the ground moaning, Zhou Li and her companion were stunned.

They hadn’t expected Li Jing to come to their rescue at the last moment, let alone for Li Jing and Ah Liang to be so formidable, even more so than in the movies.

"Section Chief Zhou!"

Xiaozhu called out to Zhou Li and Xiaowu through the open car window.

Zhou Li then remembered that she had previously called for them to come and support her.

"Section Chief Zhou, those two men said they were the administrators of the Cultural Park, so seeing the urgency, I gave them a ride here."

Zhou Li nodded: "They are indeed the administrators of the Cultural Park. Thank goodness you brought them, otherwise, we would have been in serious trouble."

At this point, Li Jing brushed off the dust on his clothes and turned to look over, explaining, "I happened to be returning to the company to pick up something, and met your colleagues."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiaozhu, then continued to Zhou Li, "What were you doing here tonight? And who are these people blocking you?"

Zhou Li glanced at the men still lying on the ground groaning in pain, still startled, and then explained, "They are the ones falsely accusing your company."

"Falsely accusing us?"

Li Jing was surprised and looked again at the group opposite.

All of them had a marked change in their expressions, not daring to meet Li Jing’s gaze, even showing signs of fear.

Worried that Li Jing might act again, Zhou Li quickly stepped forward and said, "I’ve already asked Xiaowu to call the police, let the police handle this, and the issue of polluting the groundwater will surely be investigated."

Hearing this, Li Jing nodded, his cold gaze sweeping over Brother Dao, who trembled slightly, his face grim, not daring to utter a word.

He had seen Li Jing a few times at the Cultural Park, not expecting him to be such an excellent fighter.

He had never been afraid of anyone in a fight before, but after the showdown with Li Jing, he truly had a psychological shadow about him.

Li Jing’s speed and strength were too overwhelming, he hadn’t even seen Li Jing’s moves clearly before feeling a body full of unbearable pain.

Now caught red-handed by Li Jing, he knew he was completely finished, a sense of regret welling up inside.

Not long after, with the sound of sirens blaring, several police cars arrived on the scene.

By late night, after everyone returned to the police station for the investigation to conclude, the matter finally reached an end.

Outside the police station, Zhou Li and Li Jing stood together with some others. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ N0veI.Fiɾe.net

Zhou Li spoke first, "Did you drive here?"

Li Jing glanced at the wound on her arm and said, "You’re injured. Let me take you to the hospital to get it bandaged."

"Yes, Section Chief Zhou, your arm injury needs attention."

Zhou Li initially intended to refuse, but seeing Xiaowu also insist, she said, "Alright then, you and Xiaozhu head home first, you’ve both had a long day. I can go to the hospital myself."

Hearing this, Xiaowu and the other person still wanted to insist on accompanying Zhou Li to the hospital, but seeing her resolute expression, they finally relented and drove away after saying goodbye.

After letting Ah Liang go home by himself, Li Jing turned to Zhou Li and said, "I’ll accompany you to the hospital."

Zhou Li had intentionally sent the others away, clearly planning to leave herself some private time to be alone with Li Jing.

"It’s actually nothing serious. A policewoman had already helped me treat it briefly just now, so there’s no need to go to the hospital."

Although the wound on Zhou Li’s arm looked severe, it was actually only a superficial wound.

After such a long time, the wound had long since stopped bleeding.

Seeing that Zhou Li’s arm injury was indeed not severe, Li Jing did not press further and nodded: "I’ll drive you home then."

The sedan drove steadily through the night, the two beams of the headlight slashed through the darkness like sharp blades, splitting the thick blackness.
