As a result of his momentary distraction, two men in front of him exchanged a glance. One grabbed the bag on the ground and threw it at Captain Zheng before both ran in different directions.
“Damn! Run!”
The sudden change caught everyone off guard. One of the running men, in his panic, crashed directly into a young man walking towards them. Without looking carefully, he pushed the man, rudely shouting, “Move!”
Before the words “move” could fully leave his mouth, the person he bumped into grabbed his wrist. In one smooth motion, using only one arm, he twisted the man completely and threw him to the ground, stepping on his chest to immobilize the would-be escapee.
The other person running in the opposite direction didn’t fare better.
The young man immediately threw something like a dart, which struck the fleeing man’s head. He collapsed instantly.
A steel spring rolled to the ground beside his face – this was what had knocked him unconscious.
It wasn’t that the local police were slow, but the young man’s actions were so swift and clean that the entire sequence took only a few seconds, and before anyone could react, he had handled everything single-handedly.
Until this moment, the students and police around could finally see the appearance of the person who had just made a move. In an instant, they almost simultaneously took a light breath.
He was a young man who looked only in his early twenties. If he weren’t wearing a police uniform, his youthful vigor would have looked no different from any student in this school. However, his demeanor was stern, his expression quite cold, and standing among a group of similarly aged youngsters, he could naturally suppress everyone else’s aura.
His entire police uniform was neat, even the cap was properly positioned, with the brim precisely aligned with his sword-like eyebrows. His back was straight as a pine, shoulders square with epaulettes, a belt cinched at his waist, and a holstered gun at his side.
His slightly pursed lips added a touch of determination to his overly handsome face, and his boots were still trampling on the unfortunate fellow on the ground.
Only when the police behind caught up did the young man release his foot, nodding to Captain Zheng and briefly saying, “Special Investigation Unit, Xia Xianning.”
