223 A hundred elites (1/2)

The blonde-haired man and his group, on their knees, kowtowed repeatedly and paid obeisance to Xiao Luo. Indeed, they had something to report to Xiao Luo.

”Officer Xiao, I have news that the gangsters from the Dragon Gang have gathered a gang of a hundred elite fighters to deal with you.”

Xiao Luo's face was impassive, with a half-smile, and he asked casually, ”Oh, is that so? Then do you also know when they will be ready to deal with me?”

The blonde-haired man thought about it carefully then and said, ”Maybe today, maybe tomorrow. Anyway, it will be these two to three days. I also heard a friend saying that they have an accomplice in Han Mian's bar. I actually overheard by accident.” He paused before continuing, ”Officer Xiao, rest assured we will never do bad things again. We will strive to be good citizens and contribute to the harmony of our society and country!”

Hearing him speak with such a patriotic fervor, Wang Lihu and everyone else burst out laughing. Gu Qianxue, however, wasn't quite so impressed. She stood aloof behind Xiao Luo, elegant as always, acting as if nothing had happened.

”Okay, I got it.”

Xiao Luo said, waving him off rather impatiently, with a big smile on his face.

The blonde-haired man and his group bowed and made to leave. When they got to the door, they turned and saluted Xiao Luo smartly, and said, ”Officer Xiao, thank you for your kindness. And thank you for your hard work.”

Wang Yongjia grinned and tried not to laugh. His experience told him that these thugs were controlled by a ruthless gang leader, and it was fear that made them do his bidding. But Xiao Luo…?

He pondered and looked at Xiao Luo from head to toe. Fair of complexion, handsome with a lean body, and somewhat reserved in his demeanor. He didn't look like a ruthless person, no matter how one looked at him. Unlike Wang Lihu, who showed how terrifying he was when he was angered earlier, a beast.

”A protector, plus a hundred elites. Boss, it seems that this time the Dragon Gang has spent all their resources just to deal with you,” Ye Qiu said, slightly concerned.

”It can't be possible. The blonde-haired man must be talking nonsense. No matter how vicious the Dragon Gang is, they would never dare to blatantly kill a police officer.”

Wang Yongjia said, waving his hands and strongly disagreeing with the information they were given. He explained, ”Killing a police officer is a felony. If Long Sankui was this stupid, then we would have already gotten evidence of all his crimes.”

”Boss Xiao disrupted his income sources, he is very likely to take such an extreme measure in a fit of anger,” Wang Lihu said.

Liu Tieguo nodded and said: ”Yeah, don't look at Liren Town as if the Dragon Gang only controls three red-light districts. Instead, look at the money-making potential, it's tremendous, and there are abundant new opportunities. If it belonged to us, Long Sankui would definitely get very furious.”

These words took Wang Yongjia by surprise. The Dragon Gang was the biggest secret society in Guangming District and Jiangcheng. It was impossible to know all of their criminal activities, or what had gone unnoticed, including assassinations. So, who's to say that they would not dare to kill a police officer?

Acknowledging the facts, he urged Xiao Luo to be alert over the next few days, and said, ”Keep your mobile phone turned on 24 hours. Once you encounter any unusual situation, immediately notify the bureau for an emergency back up.”

Xiao Luo nodded nonchalantly, ”Okay.”

”Xiao Luo, are those baddies coming for you?” Gu Qianxue suddenly asked, both shocked and concerned.

Xiao Luo smiled softly and said, ”I guess so.”

”Then you can come with me. I can protect you,” Gu Qianxue said, in her own earnest way.

Wang Lihu and Ye Qiu saw the funny side of what she had just said and laughed. With Xiao Luo's abilities, why would he need the protection of this pretty face? It'd make more sense if it were the other way around.

Liu Tieguo laughed as well, but then coughed dryly twice. He had seen Gu Qianxue shoot, and her skills were unmatched. But it did seem a little awkward to hear her saying that to Xiao Luo. He vividly recalled how Xiao Luo once sparred with Yan Wang, their instructor in the training camp. With only a single punch, he had terrified Yan Wang, who quickly backed off and ended the bout.

”You want to protect me?” Xiao Luo said.

Gu Qianxue nodded firmly, and said: ”Yes, I will protect you.”

Xiao Luo looked at her for a while, then he gently patted her forehead. He didn't smile but simply said: ”This earth is a dangerous place. You should go back to Mars.”

He borrowed a line from a Stephen Chow movie to reply to her statement.

”You don't believe me?” Gu Qianxue said, frowning. She was clearly annoyed.

”I do believe you, but didn't your sister tell you to keep your distance from me?” Xiao Luo said.
