A Divine Farmer

C12 – Crazy Zhang Xiaoloong

Just as Zhang Xiaoloong retracted his hand and felt a wave of relief wash over him, his mental clarity returned. Two men donning peaked hats suddenly squeezed in front of him. One of them even extended his hand toward Big Brother Bi, seemingly attempting to check his pulse.

In an instant, Zhang Xiaoloong instinctively pushed the man away, simultaneously brandishing the knife he had taken from Big Brother Bi and driving it into the other man’s wrist.

But that wasn’t all. Following these swift actions, Zhang Xiaoloong rapidly kicked the cap-wearing man with the knife-pierced wrist. The cap-wearing man, still processing the knife’s impact, was knocked off balance by the kick.

The rapid sequence of events left everyone, including the girl beside him, utterly stunned.

A spine-chilling unease rippled through the crowd. They wondered, had this young man lost his mind after committing murder? If that were indeed the case, a few more casualties might ensue!

While everyone pondered, the blare of a siren pierced the air. A car promptly blocked the path of the bus.

It seemed that someone had discreetly contacted the police beforehand. Now, the vehicle served as the bus’s rescuer.

“What’s going on here?” The two police officers regarded Zhang Xiaoloong with a vigilant gaze, taking note of the lingering blood on his hands.

“Help! This guy’s gone mad! He killed Big Brother Bi and now he’s after those two guys!” The gangsters who had accompanied Big Brother Bi into the car were terrified, their legs shaking.

They had been speculating that if Zhang Xiaoloong were really out to kill someone, they’d be the first in line, considering they had been dressed the same as Big Brother Bi just moments ago.

“He’s the one who caused this man’s death.” The ticket vendor had managed to slip out of the car and sought refuge behind the two policemen. He pointed at Zhang Xiaoloong and explained, “Initially, that man wanted to switch seats with him, but he declined. Then, a dispute broke out, and that man ended up falling onto the glass and dying…”

“Hands up, step out of the vehicle immediately!” The two police officers didn’t waste a second, swiftly brandishing their guns and aiming at Zhang Xiaoloong.

“It’s not like that. There’s a lot of misunderstanding here…” The girl attempted to clarify, but no one was willing to listen at that moment.

Just then, Zhang Xiaoloong moved with lightning speed, dashing to the rear of the bus.

“Stop, don’t move…”

The two police officers yelled, understanding the futility of their words. They promptly boarded the bus in haste.

In that instant, Zhang Xiaoloong effortlessly lifted a cap-wearing man with both hands and hurled him towards a window.

Crash…

The window glass shattered against the pavement, propelled by the immense force, and the two individuals were forcefully ejected from the car.

“Stay still. If you make another move, I’ll shoot,” one of the policemen warned once more.

In truth, they were well aware that discharging firearms inside a vehicle was exceedingly perilous. There was a risk of inadvertently injuring occupants. However, permitting the culprits to brawl right there was equally implausible.

Thankfully, after issuing the warning, they observed the agitated individual gradually lifting both his hands.

“I didn’t kill anyone. Those two weren’t good people. They were attempting to take someone’s life,” Zhang Xiaoloong stated calmly.

The two police officers exchanged glances. One of them trained his firearm on Zhang Xiaoloong, while the other extracted handcuffs. He cautiously approached Zhang Xiaoloong, fastening the handcuffs as swiftly as possible. Only then did he exhale a sigh of relief.

“You claim you didn’t kill anyone, so who did?” The two officers interrogated sternly as they escorted Zhang Xiaoloong out of the car.

“He tried to stab me with a knife, so I defended myself by throwing him,” Zhang Xiaoloong replied honestly. “But he isn’t dead. If you’re skeptical, you can check for yourself.”

The two officers turned their gaze toward the location where Big Brother Bi had fallen. Despite the blood covering his head, the man seemed lifeless no matter how they looked at him.

“Splash some water on his face, and he’ll wake up,” Zhang Xiaoloong’s voice rang out once more.

This time, before the policemen could act, the girl in sunglasses had promptly returned to her seat. She produced a bottle of mineral water and doused Big Brother Bi’s face with it.

“Cough cough…”

Big Brother Bi, previously assumed to be unconscious, coughed twice as he struggled to breathe. He shook his head, eyes fluttering open. “Where am I? And where’s that girl?”

“Hmph…” The girl with sunglasses emitted an indignant snort, pivoted on her heels, and headed towards Zhang Xiaoloong.

In this instant, her trust in Zhang Xiaoloong’s words deepened. Those two guys with peaked hats probably weren’t decent individuals after all. Otherwise, why would someone as straightforward as Zhang Xiaoloong suddenly resort to violence?

“Hey, wait.” Big Brother Bi’s lecherous nature fueled his efforts to rise from the ground. A sudden cry escaped him, and he collapsed once more. “My arm… My arm’s broken. I remember now. That jerk broke my arm…”

Disdainful glances from the bus passengers were directed at him. This ruffian seemed to forget everything except women. It was fitting that he faced the consequences.

As the girl in sunglasses evaded the car door, Big Brother Bi’s gaze fell upon Zhang Xiaoloong, who was handcuffed. The two policemen at his side appeared momentarily baffled. It didn’t take him long to piece things together. “Officers, I want to report a crime. This guy broke my arm. I’m suing him. I want him behind bars!”

The police officers furrowed their brows. They could sense Big Brother Bi wasn’t a model citizen, yet they directed their attention to Zhang Xiaoloong.

“His arm isn’t broken.” Zhang Xiaoloong hastened forward, grasping Big Brother Bi’s dislocated arm. “It’s just a dislocation.”

Big Brother Bi wailed as Zhang Xiaoloong’s grip tightened. He inwardly cursed, “Did your family dislocate from the middle of your arm?”

“Stop!”

“Let go of him!”

The sudden act of murder by Zhang Xiaoloong caught the two policemen off guard. They had to raise their guns again. With fewer people present this time, they were ready to shoot Zhang Xiaoloong if he didn’t cooperate.

“Don’t worry,” Zhang Xiaoloong hurriedly raised his hands. Even with Divine Power, he didn’t dare claim invincibility against bullets. “He’s just dislocated. Look, if you don’t believe me. His hands have healed.”

The policemen gazed at Big Brother Bi. Observing him turning his arm, supposedly broken, over and over, one of them remarked, “Huh, really healed?”

The police officers then lowered their guns in relief. Their attention shifted to the two men ejected from the car by Zhang Xiaoloong. Both remained unconscious.

“So, how do you explain these two individuals?” one officer inquired.

“I mentioned it before. I’m not sure why, but they were clearly out to kill him,” Zhang Xiaoloong pointed at Big Brother Bi, then turned towards the sunglass-wearing girl. “And her.”

“You’re saying they were targeting me?” the girl also expressed astonishment.

“Yes, when I saw them getting into the car,” Zhang Xiaoloong nodded. “If you don’t believe me, you can go and check. Both of them have needles on them, and these needles are laced with poison. Once inserted, their lives would be in jeopardy. If they’re pricked without their knowledge, as you said, it’s even riskier. He might die unnoticed. By the time someone realizes it, it could be too late to save him.”

The police grew skeptical again. “How do you know all this so precisely?”

“I spotted the needles in their hands and detected the scent of a specific substance. When I saw they intended to abduct someone and flee, I intervened by throwing them out of the car,” Zhang Xiaoloong explained.

“Regardless, let’s take them back to the police station first!” Another officer suggested after a moment’s consideration.

“Henceforth, hand over these individuals to me. You’re free to leave,” a sudden voice interjected.
