Chapter 411: Framing Xiaotao (2/2)

I couldn't believe my ears. ”It's the Dog Trainer again!” I snapped.

There was no point in visiting the scene of the accident now. Fiddling with the phone in her hand, Xiaotao cursed, ”Damn it, we were so close!”

Since the witness was unable to appear in court, the case was postponed indefinitely. The four young masters walked out of court arrogantly with Qin Guozhu. Facing a group of reporters who flocked around them, Qin Aonan showed his middle finger.

From the side, Xiaotao watched helplessly, her fists clenched angrily.

Right then, something flew out of the crowd, hitting Qin Guozhu on the face. It turned out to be a rotten egg.

”You will receive retribution sooner or later!” shouted a man in the crowd.

”Where the hell are the police?” barked Qin Guozhu. “Isn’t there any justice?”

The outraged crows threw any items they had on hand at Qin Guozhu and the four young masters, forcing them to return to the court. At this moment, my attention was attracted by a burning bottle flying towards them.

With a bang, the burning bottle exploded on the steps of the court, the flame aggressively spreading so the crowd dodged away in fear.

”You beasts! You murdered my daughter! I’m going to kill you!” came a thunderous roar. Wang Xuebing charged out of the crowd, holding a military dagger in each hand as he strode across the flames, murder evident in his eyes. Before the rest of us could react, the daggers pierced Qin Guozhu’s arm.

Qin Guozhu screamed like a dying pig, clutching his bleeding arm. ”Murderer!”

Qin Guozhu was soon kicked away by Wang Xuebing whose goal was the four young masters. Xiaotao stood motionlessly on the side, watching the scene play out without the slightest intention to call for backup.

”Call the police!” I urged. “Are you just going to stand here and watch this happen at the doors of the court? What a great shame for the public security and judicial system this will be!”

”They deserve it!” Xiaotao spat through gritted teeth.

”Is it worth losing an old soldier for these scum?” I retorted.

Sighing helplessly, Xiaotao called the SWAT team for reinforcements.

In the face of this vengeful father, the four young masters hopped all over the place like frightened chickens. The bailiffs ran out, hoping to stabilize the hostile man. But upon witnessing Wang Xuebing’s ferocity, no one dared to come forward.

Qin Aonan stumbled down the steps. Wang Xuebing seemed determined to kill him as he honed in on his target, military daggers flashing with a dangerous glint. Qin Aonan screamed and ran towards the sidewalk.

Noticing danger, pedestrians on the street ran away. Xiaotao and I immediately chased after them. As a veteran soldier who fought against Vietnam, Wang Xuebing was a fast runner. I ran out of breath very quickly. Meanwhile, Xiaotao pulled out her gun and commanded, ”Drop the weapon!”

The three of them disappeared into an alley, followed by the sound of gunfire. My heart sank with a sense of foreboding. When I reached the alley, I found Wang Xuebing lying on the ground, clutching his chest while gasping for air. Qin Aonan leaned against the wall, head drooping to one side. A dark bullet hole marked the spot between his eyebrows and the skin surrounding the hole charred black.

Xiaotao was holding the gun in her hand, the barrel still smoking.

”Song Yang, I didn't kill him! You have to believe me!” she cried in a panic.

My head was a mess but I feigned composure. “Calm down. Tell me, did you accidentally hit him?”

”No, I swear I fired into the sky but he suddenly collapsed!” trembled Xiaotao.

I felt as if I had taken a bat to the head. It was a well-designed trap. The dog trainer had declared war on us!
