Chapter 34: The Woman

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The residents on the north side of Mingxiang Village were alarmed by the commotion. The sound of many windows opening could be heard.

Many people stuck their heads out of the windows and saw Zhao Baolong, who was wailing on the ground, and the half-collapsed wall. The villagers wore many different expressions on their faces. Some were happy, some were shocked, and some were fearful.

“Tsk, what happened over there?”

“Old man, come over quickly. There are people fighting in the village.”

“It’s the city patrol team. They’ve caught some outsiders that were hiding in our village.”

…

When Chen Shaojie saw Zhao Baolong who had gradually stopped struggling, the fear in his heart receded like a tide. He regained the strength in his body very quickly, and got up on his own.

He Chunping was the same. She didn’t dare to confront Chen Yiming for pushing her away violently and stood up on her own.

“Cousin, that woman hasn’t been knocked down by you yet…”

Chen Shaojie patted the dust off his body and looked at Dong Fen who was standing not far away. He could not help but remind him quietly.

Hearing this, He Chunping instinctively hid behind Chen Yiming, who was still standing far away from Dong Fen. She was afraid that Dong Fen might suddenly attack.

“What are you panicking for? Can’t you see that she has given up on resisting capture?”

Chen Yiming rolled his eyes at his cousin.

At this moment, the dagger in Dong Fen’s hand had fallen to the ground. She was no longer holding any weapon in her hand.

“What should we do now? Should I go over and handcuff her?”

Chen Shaojie looked troubled. He stood rooted to the ground and stopped himself from saying anything else.

“The other party has undergone two transformations. Are you sure that handcuffs will work?” Chen Yiming asked without thinking.

He still remembered the ordinary iron handcuffs that the police used to restrain criminals in his previous world. He felt that such handcuffs would not be able to restrain a person at the level of the second transformation.

“Of course they will work. I’ve brought some handcuffs specially made for this purpose. Once someone is cuffed, they won’t be able to get out of it no matter what.”

Chen Shaojie regained his senses and patted his chest as he reassured his cousin.

The special handcuffs were made from ores with increased hardness from the alternate world. They were specially used to restrain criminals with a certain amount of martial arts prowess and force them to work obediently.

“Then hurry up and pass them to me. Or would you dare to handcuff them yourself?”

Chen Yiming stretched out his hand and gestured at Chen Shaojie, who was still standing dumbly at the same spot.

Chen Shaojie quickly snapped out of his daze at Chen Yiming’s urging. He cursed himself for being so slow-witted from the scare earlier.

He took out two sets of black handcuffs from his right pocket and handed them to Chen Yiming. Then, he briefly explained how to use them.

The special handcuffs were different from ordinary ones. They were visibly much thicker and had a shiny black finish.

Holding them in his hands, Chen Yiming estimated that each pair of handcuffs weighed about ten kilograms. It was indeed specially made for its purpose, and was much heavier than normal.

He took a few steps over to where Dong Fen was.

Chen Yiming sized up the female bandit who had been hiding in the village.

At this moment, she had already changed out of her plain cotton clothes and put on a set of dark red armor. The armor was somewhat tattered, revealing some of the skin beneath.

Beneath the armor was a pair of long legs. The shape of the muscles on them were clearly visible, and they gave off a feeling of wildness.

As expected of a woman who could survive in the wilderness, she did not look like a weak and frail lady at all.

“Sir, as long as you let us off, I can give you everything I have, including myself. How about it?”

When Dong Fen saw him approaching, she recovered her senses and spoke.

Her voice was crisp and clear, like a bell ringing in his ears. He subconsciously felt attracted to her.

Chen Yiming remained silent. He wasn’t in a hurry to handcuff her. Instead, he considered her offer in his heart.

Without a doubt, these bandits had lived in the wilderness for many years. The value of the things they had on them could not be compared to those from hooligans in the city. However, the problem was how to make them give up the items. The other party already knew that he would not take their lives and only wanted to exchange them for the reward money.

In the face of such a situation, what was the best solution, and what was the taboo that should not be broken?

Chen Yiming turned around and used his eyes to signal for Chen Shaojie to come over and deal with the situation.

“Cousin, there are many people around who have already seen them. If we let them go, it’s likely that our actions will get reported by someone. I’ve heard that in the past, when the team encountered such situations, they would just search their bodies. We’ll have to make do with what we can find.”

Chen Shaojie took a few steps forward and spoke in a low voice so that the people watching from the shadows could not hear him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shaojie noticed a murderous gaze.

Although Dong Fen didn’t hold much hope at first, when Chen Yiming had hesitated, it was like finding an oasis in the desert. She had seen a glimmer of hope.

However, Chen Shaojie’s words had killed that possibility. Now that he was standing only a short distance away, she really wanted to beat him to death.

However, when she thought of Zhao Baolong, who was still wailing at the side, she resisted the urge to kill him. Instead, she stared intently at Chen Shaojie and committed his face to her memory.

“Cousin, the Chen family is going to stay in East Lake City for a long time. We better not cross the line.”

Chen Shaojie was frightened and quickly continued to persuade him.

At this moment, he realized that he had become the villain, and he could not let the other party escape.

“Consultant Chen, I think…”

He Chunping also joined in the persuasion. She also did not want to get involved in such matters for no reason. She, as a team member, would not get much benefit from letting them escape.

“When did I say I was going to let them off? Chen Shaojie, go search the man’s body. Woman, you go with He Chunping to the corner of the courtyard and let her search your body. Don’t play any tricks.”

Chen Yiming grabbed Dong Fen’s hands and handcuffed her as he gave out the instructions.

“Cousin, how is that man now? Can I handle him?”

Chen Shaojie didn’t move from his spot, pointing at Zhao Baolong as he questioned his cousin.

The fright that Zhao Baolong gave him was still lingering in his heart. It was fine if he stayed far away, but if he was to search his body, he had to get close to him. What if the other party had not completely lost the ability to resist?

“Don’t worry. The punch I gave him just now looked like an ordinary punch, but in fact, I threw more than ten punches at him in an instant. Now, his whole body has been injured by my punch. He won’t be able to move a muscle without first taking a few days to heal,” Chen Yiming explained.

He had modified part of the Mantis Snake Sword Technique’s sword moves and incorporated them into his punches, using high frequency attacks to injure the opponent without crippling him.

“I see.”

There was no longer any fear in Chen Shaojie’s eyes. Instead, he was excited. He grabbed the handcuffs from Chen Yiming and walked towards Zhao Baolong.

As the few of them entered the courtyard one after another, the villagers who were secretly watching also dispersed.

“That young man is so violent. I don’t even know if the man is dead or not. I didn’t see him get up at all.”

“That’s right, but the two lackeys beside him are far inferior to him. They have been watching the show from the beginning to the end and were completely useless in the fight.”

“They have already captured the outsiders. Why are they still bringing them into the courtyard? Do you think something unspeakable will happen?”

“Are you stupid? What are you thinking? They must be searching for valuables on those two people. It’s not good for others to see.”

…

Separated by the wall of the courtyard, no one could see what was going on inside. However, not many people dared to get close to continue watching what they were doing. Ordinary people were naturally afraid of the officials.
