“Go go go! Start driving!” Ma Qiang who was sitting on the side passenger seat roared.
The driver immediately started the ignition. “Haha! Don’t worry, Brother Qiang, I’ll be able to shake off the chick even if she chases us with a car.”
He laughed uproariously and floored the gas pedal.
However, the smile froze on his face the next moment.
The engine roared like mad but the minivan remained stationary.
He was confused. Then, he lifted his head and was immediately dumbfounded as his eyes glazed over.
Then, panic slowly set in.
“Bro… Brother Qiang…” He stammered with trembling lips.
“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you driving?”
Ma Qiang was inspecting his loot. He lifted his head when the driver shouted at him.
He was shocked when he saw the driver looking frantically straight ahead.
“Have you lost your mind?” Ma Qiang said viciously. He lifted his hand and prepared to slap the driver’s face.
However, he saw the scene outside the windscreen with the corner of his eye.
His entire body trembled and was dumbstruck.
His mouth slowly opened into the shape of an O, and his eyes were filled with incredulity.
The two robbers sitting behind were also dumbstruck when they saw what happened.
“F*ck me!”
The loot dropped from their hands onto the floor.
In front of the minivan stood a teenager of about eighteen years old. One of his arms was stretched out and pressing against the front of the minivan.
No matter how hard the driver stepped on the gas pedal, the minivan did not budge an inch.
“F*ck me. Who the hell is this kid? Is he Superman?” One of the robbers exclaimed.
The four people began to panic. Sweat poured down Ma Qiang’s forehead. He had never seen something so ridiculous in his many years of doing crime.
“Run him over! Kill him!” Ma Qiang roared with a vicious face.
The driver stepped on the accelerator with all his might. However, the figure in front of him remained stationary.
Suddenly, the boy’s mouth widened into a grin!
The grin was so happy, but it was so scary in the four robbers’ eyes.
Then, the hand on the minivan shook. A scary force exploded from that boy’s hand and caused the minivan to be pushed backward.
The tires of the minivan screeched.
The minivan came to a stop after moving for about a meter.
The faces of the four robbers in the van were already ashen and close to despair.
Chapter 245 - Zhao Qingxue Is Drunk
The robbers in the vehicle were not the only ones who were dumbstruck. Even Zhao Qingxue watched all that with an incredulous face.
‘How much strength does he possess to hold back a vehicle with one arm?
‘Is that guy still human?
‘No, he’s not a normal human!’
Zhao Qingxue suddenly came to her senses. She finally realized that Tang Hao was not a normal human. Not only he could capture ghosts, but he also had amazing medical skills and superhuman strength.
‘Well, I guess that’s to be expected of someone who’s not a normal human!’ She felt a little better after thinking of that.
Tang Hao dusted his hands and breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Hao had an extraordinary body as a cultivator. That burst of energy was nothing to him.
He went to the side of the vehicle and knocked on the window. “Get out!” He said calmly.
The four people in the vehicle trembled and looked at each other dejectedly.
They were incredibly frustrated that a superpowered freak ruined their plan at the final moment.
Then, they got out of the minivan defeatedly. They stood in a row while still looking at Tang Hao with fear and respect.
“Officer Zhao!”
Tang Hao shouted at Zhao Qingxue as he patted them down.
Zhao Qingxue quickly came over and handcuffed the robbers.
“Ouch! Can’t you be a little gentler, beautiful lady?” One of the robbers shouted exaggeratedly.
“Shut up!” Zhao Qingxue yelled at him.
Then, she walked over to Ma Qiang and pulled off his ski mask.
Zhao Qingxue regarded the face and smirked. “You must be Ma Qiang, right? You’re a smart one for trying to change your appearance! Unfortunately, I could still recognize you.”
Ma Qiang was shocked.
He thought he was unlucky that the beautiful police officer and the superhuman freak, happened to be there, but he did not expect that they already had their eyes on him.
That made him feel even more defeated than ever.
“Dammit, a girl got me!” Ma Qiang grumbled.
They waited on the spot for a minute or two before the piercing wail of police sirens were heard.
Two police cars sped toward them and stopped at the side of the road.
A squad of police officers came down. They were in a hurry to stop the crime but were shocked when they saw the scene.
‘Isn’t that the beautiful police officer, Zhao Qingxue, from our station? And isn’t that the famous Tang Hao?
‘Why are they here?’
Then, they turned their eyes toward the few figures who were squatting on the floor and became even more shocked than ever.
‘Don’t tell me those are the robbers?’
“Officer Zhao, you…”
“These four people are the robbers. The loot is in the minivan, you can check that everything is still there. Right, this one is the notorious wanted criminal, Ma Qiang.”
“What? He’s Ma Qiang?” The police officers exclaimed.
“Hah! He changed his face!”
“Oh, Officer Zhao! You’ve done a good job!”
Not only had she perfectly captured all the criminals in the case, but she had also nabbed a notorious wanted criminal in the process. It was an extraordinary feat. All the police officers regarded her with respect and admiration.
Then, they started to make an inventory of the loot.
Seeing that everything was settled, Tang Hao waved goodbye to Zhao Qingxue and went back home.
The next day, around noon, Tang Hao received a call from Zhao Qingxue.
“Thanks so much for yesterday, Tang Hao!” Zhao Qingxue said gratefully.
“Don’t mention it. It’s nothing too difficult!” Tang Hao said.
“I’ll treat you for lunch today. Captain Zhou and the others will be there too!”
“Alright!”
“We’ll meet at the restaurant next to the police station. Come over whenever you’re ready!”
When Tang Hao arrived at the restaurant and entered the private room, he saw Captain Zhou and a few other police officers from the criminal police division.
“Hey, Brother Tang! Long time no see!” Captain Zhou stood up and excitedly shook hands with Tang Hao.
The other police officers also stood up and greeted him.
“Tang Hao!” Zhao Qingxue shouted excitedly.
She was not in uniform today.
“Come and sit here, Brother Tang,” Captain Zhou, who was sitting next to Zhao Qingxue, shifted a little and made some space for Tang Hao.
“I’ve heard all about it from Lil Zhao. You were very brave yesterday!” Captain Zhou said after Tang Hao sat down. “Lil Zhao could capture the criminals and it’s all thanks to you. Her superiors are considering promoting her and transferring her to Provincial City!”
Tang Hao was surprised when he heard that.
He was not sure about how the promotion system in the police force worked, but being promoted from the district to the provincial level after a successful bust did not sound normal.
Captain Zhou noticed Tang Hao’s doubt and explained, “Don’t you know that Lil Zhao comes from a family of police officers? She has connections in the provincial headquarters.”
Tang Hao was surprised by
that revelation. He turned to look at Zhao Qingxue.
“It’s not unexpected, Brother Tang. Haven’t you wondered why a beautiful woman like Zhao Qingxue would enroll herself in this challenging job? That’s because her family members are all police officers,” Captain Zhou explained.
Tang Hao cupped his fists to congratulate Zhao Qingxue.
“There’s nothing to congratulate me about!” Zhao Qingxue rolled her eyes. “Alright, I’m calling the waiters to serve the dishes.”
Lunch was soon served, and the people started happily eating.
However, Captain Zhou and the others had to go to work later and could not drink alcohol. Only a few of them could.
Zhao Qingxue was very happy and drank a lot of alcohol. Her face soon turned red, which added to her charm.
“You should drink less, Officer Zhao!” Tang Hao advised her.
“Eh… It’s nothing! I’m not on duty today anyway!” Zhao Qingxue was in a celebratory mood and downed another glass.
“Good one, Lil Zhao!” Captain Zhou and the others cheered on, as though they wanted to see Zhao Qingxue drunk.
Zhao Qingxue was heavily tipsy when the meal ended.
“You… You all wait here, I… I’ll go settle the bill,” Zhao Qingxue said with her head tilted, rummaging through her handbag for her purse.
She did not manage to find her purse for a long time, perhaps because she was drunk.
Tang Hao was speechless when he saw that.
“I’ll get the bill then!” Tang Hao stood up and went to pay the bill.
“Hey, Brother Tang, we’ll have to get back to work. I’ll leave Lil Zhao to your care. Please send her back home!”
Captain Zhou and the other police officers quickly stood up and left the scene. Only Tang Hao and Zhao Qingxue were left in the room.
Tang Hao was speechless when he saw that.
‘Is Captain Zhao trying to prank me? He doesn’t drink but goads Zhao Qingxue to drink over her limit. Now he’s running away so quickly!’
“We should leave, Officer Zhao!”
Tang Hao could not do anything else.
“Uhhh,’ Zhao Qingxue mumbled a reply. She stood up but her legs were wobbling. Her face was deep red and her eyes were not focused.
She was wearing high heels, and she nearly fell down after taking a few steps.
Tang Hao could not do anything else but to help her walk downstairs and carry her into his car.
Chapter 246 - I Can Explain
Zhao Qingxue was slumped over in the back seat of Tang Hao’s car.
Her jet-black hair was scattered all over, which obscured her drunken face.
Tang Hao was speechless when he looked at her.
Fortunately, he knew where she lived. Otherwise, he would not know where to deposit her.
He arrived at her residential area after about ten minutes of driving.
Tang Hao helped her walk up the stairs.
“Ah, T… Tang Hao! Let… Let me ask y… you, did y… you do it on pur… purpose last time?” Zhao Qingxue mumbled.
“What last time?” Tang Hao was stunned.
“The… The prostitution crackdown!”
“What the hell?” Tang Hao mumbled. The incident was a very long time ago, but she remembered it.
“I did not do it on purpose, of course,” Tang Hao said seriously.
“Oh! Then… I believe you!” Zhao Qingxue mumbled.
As she spoke, her head leaned over and rested on Tang Hao’s shoulder. Her breath smelled of alcohol.
When they were at the door, Tang Hao retrieved the keys from her handbag and opened it.
They stepped into the house. Tang Hao carried her to the couch and laid her down.
The alcohol in the red wine was kicking in full effect. Her eyes were barely open. She mumbled something, then flipped to one side and curled up on the couch.
Tang Hao sat next to her and breathed a sigh of relief.
He lifted his head to look at her again and blushed.
From his angle, he could see her exposed cleavage.
Tang Hao quickly averted his gaze. Then, he agonized over a problem.
It was still early in the afternoon. If she fell asleep now, there was no telling when she would wake up. It would be quite troublesome if she slept through the entire day and woke up in the middle of the night.
At the same time, he did not want to leave her alone in the house.
“You shouldn’t drink so much if you don’t have a high alcohol tolerance!” Tang Hao mumbled to himself.
Assistant Han was like that. Now, even Officer Zhao was like that too.
“Right. Why not I concoct a sobriety potion?”
Tang Hao’s eyes sparkled when the idea struck.
Tang Hao had brewed a cup of sobering tea for Assistant Han before, but that only cured hangovers. He was thinking of concocting a potion that could immediately eliminate one’s drunkenness.
‘There should be a huge market for this!’ Tang Hao contemplated.
It was normal for people to overdrink during business dinners. A tea that would instantly sober up someone should be very popular.
On the other hand, the company had only recently released its second product, and there were three more products – the aphrodisiac potion, the healthcare potion, and the hair growth potion in the pipeline. Even if he could figure out the recipe for the sobriety potion, it would still be a long time before it would be released to the market.
Tang Hao sat there and started thinking.
Soon, he waved his hands and several medicinal herbs appeared on the table in front of him.
Then, he retrieved the medicinal bowl and other utensils from his pocket dimension.
He arranged them neatly on the table. Then, he placed the herbs in his palm and held them for a while.
With a higher cultivation base, it was easier for him to activate the potency of the herbs.
He quickly activated all the herbs. Then, he placed them one by one into the bowl and pounded them with a pestle.
About five minutes later, he poured the liquid out and obtained a small bowl of green liquid.
That was the sobriety potion.
He put it closer to his nose and smelled. It had a light fragrance.
“This should be quite potent!” He said to himself while nodding.
He took a teacup, poured a little liquid into it, then diluted it with tea.
He took the sobriety tea and walked next to Zhao Qingxue.
“Officer Zhao?”
Tang Hao gently shoved her shoulder and called her name.
Zhao Qingxue mumbled something and there was no further response.
“Get up and take this medicine!” Tang Hao shoved her again. Seeing that there was no response from her, Tang Hao put the teacup down, then propped her up by the shoulders and leaned her against the couch.
Then, he sat down, picked up the teacup, and prepared to feed her the tea.
Suddenly, she wobbled and fell onto his body.
Her enchanting body fragrance invaded Tang Hao’s nostrils.
Tang Hao’s entire body stiffened.
Officer Zhao’s body was too attractive. It was pure torture.
Tang Hao immediately dashed any deviant thoughts and calmed himself down. Then, he took the teacup and fed her the tea with much difficulty.
Tang Hao breathed a sigh of relief when the last sip of tea went into Zhao Qingxue’s mouth. He immediately stood up, then sat on another couch.
He sat there while observing her.
He estimated that the tea would take effect in about five minutes. In another ten minutes, she would be fully sober.
About two minutes later, the doorbell rang.
Tang Hao was shocked. ‘Who is looking for her now?’
He walked to the door and looked through the peephole. Tang Hao was immediately confused.
Outside the door was Captain Zhao whom he had met in Provincial City!
‘Why is he here?
‘Right, both of them have the surname Zhao. Don’t tell me they’re related?’ Tang Hao immediately had an idea, though he could only find that incredibly coincidental.
Captain Zhao was determined to arrest him. It would be an awkward situation if they bumped into each other!
He turned around to see Officer Zhao still drunk and slumped on the couch. That would easily cause a big misunderstanding.
The doorbell continued ringing.
Tang Hao decided that he should only open the door after Officer Zhao [woke up.
However, he did not expect that Zhao Wuyang took out a door key and prepared to open the door.
Tang Hao had no other choice but to open the door.
“Where were you earlier, Qingxue?” Zhao Wuyang saw the door open and immediately asked.
Then, he stiffened when he saw the person standing behind the door.
Then, he straightened his brows and his eyes shot a piercing gaze. “Why are you here, Tang kid?” He was about to pounce on Tang Hao.
He instinctively thought that Tang Hao was taking revenge on him by stalking Zhao Qingxue.
“Listen to my explanation, Captain Zhao!” Tang Hao said while stepping backward.
Zhao Wuyang rushed into the apartment. He nearly exploded when he saw Zhao Qingxue slumped on the couch with her eyes closed.
“You despicable person! Fight me if you have a problem with me! Don’t touch my family. Tell me, what did you do to my younger sister?” Zhao Wuyang said while he glared at Tang Hao.
“She’s your younger sister?” Tang Hao blurted.
“Hah! You’re still playing dumb? Aren’t you targeting her because you know that she’s my younger sister?” Zhao Wuyang said sternly.
“I really don’t know that!”
“Still playing dumb? You despicable rascal!” Zhao Wuyang roared and pounced on him.
Tang Hao rolled his eyes. There was no use reasoning with a man who was blind with rage!
‘Whatever! I’ll just let my fists do the talking!’
Tang Hao did not hold back. Several quick bouts later, Zhao Wuyang was sprawled on the floor.
“Kill me if you have the guts, Tang kid! Don’t touch my younger sister! I’m the one you should be taking revenge on!” Zhao Wuyang pushed himself to his feet. His face was already bruised and swollen.
