My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 77: Chapter 0077: The Might of the Vermilion Bird_1
“Are you out of your mind? Look at how many cops are here. Do we even need a warrant to arrest him?” Chen Han said angrily, looking at Vermilion Bird. “Ye Xiong is suspected of intentional assault, injuring dozens of staff at the Fuhua Hotel. Now that we have solid evidence, we’re taking him back for investigation.”

“To investigate, you need dozens of police officers? Isn’t that a bit much?” Vermilion Bird scoffed coldly.

“This is none of your business. Get out of the way, or don’t blame us for not being polite,” Chen Han said sternly.

“I’d like to see how you’re going to be impolite,” Vermilion Bird said, raising an eyebrow.

“Dare to obstruct police business? Someone take her away,” Chen Han ordered loudly.

Immediately, two officers approached Vermilion Bird from the left and right, attempting to lock her arms.

Bang bang!

Vermilion Bird with two slick kicks sent the two officers flying. Even before the bystanders could react, the officers were already on the ground, struggling to get up.

“How dare you attack a police officer. Believe it or not, I’ll shoot you right now,” Chen Han roared, drawing his pistol and pointing it at Vermilion Bird.

As the captain of the criminal police team in the Jiangnan City Police Bureau, Chen Han had been quite irate recently.

Having returned from a two- to three-month training in the province, he’d been hearing non-stop about Ye Xiong from his colleagues in the squad: about how skilled the man was, how strong his background, and how despicable his character was.

The man was even strutting around the bureau, sitting with his legs crossed, openly flirting with the policewoman he liked, Luo Weiwei.

For a while, he had been eager for a chance to meet this guy from the rumors, to see if he really had three heads and six arms.

Finally, as if heaven was watching, an hour earlier the chief had ordered the arrest of Ye Xiong, which made him boil with excitement, secretly determined to personally capture the guy who dared to flirt with the policewoman he liked.

He hadn’t expected to not have even seen Ye Xiong yet when he ran into a flat-chested woman dressed like a post-apocalyptic assassin in the hotel lobby, who dared to attack a police officer.

As Chen Han pulled out his gun, screams erupted throughout the lobby. These people had never in their lives seen a gun, much less one pointed at someone. The people behind Vermilion Bird screamed loudly and scrambled away from the line of fire, fearing being accidentally hit by stray bullets.

The whole hotel instantly descended into chaos.

Faced with the dark muzzle of the gun, Vermilion Bird not only didn’t back down but stepped forward, pressing her forehead against Chen Han’s pistol and said coldly, “Have the guts to shoot, and if you don’t dare to shoot, then you’re a coward.”

“Chen Han, put down the gun. Don’t be reckless,” Chief Huang Weifu shouted when he saw Chen pull out his gun.

This was a public place. If the gun accidentally fired and injured innocent people, he, as the chief, could not shirk the responsibility.

Moreover, publicly pointing a gun at a woman was too damaging to the police bureau’s image.

“I’ll say it again, get out of the way,” Chen Han said, his face flushed red and his finger trembling slightly.

In response to him was a piercing gaze. Vermilion Bird stepped closer and closer until her forehead pressed against the dark muzzle of the gun, then she exclaimed, “Shoot, you coward.”

The surrounding officers were terrified by Vermilion Bird’s actions. They had not expected that the Mingyang International Hotel would have such a tough character who dared to confront the entire police force on her own and a woman at that.

Chen Han was so furious he felt like his lungs were about to explode. He and the chief had come to arrest Ye Xiong but the main culprit had yet to be found, and now a woman was holding them up. If word of this got out, how could he continue to mix in Jiangnan?

And being called a coward in front of so many people was even more infuriating.

“Bring someone to cuff her, and we’ll settle with her slowly back at the station,” Chen Han shouted.

Then another two officers took out handcuffs and walked over, ready to cuff Vermilion Bird.

Both thought that with a gun pointed at her, she wouldn’t dare to make a move, but they hadn’t even reached her when she swept them off their feet with two slick leg sweeps, sending them flying just like the former officers, lying on the floor, unable to get up for the longest time.

At that moment, the entire place was stunned!

A female hero indeed!

With a gun pointed at her, she still dared to strike people, surrounded by dozens of officers, she still dared to attack them right to their faces. They had never seen nor heard of such a ruthless individual.

After kicking two officers away, Vermilion Bird still had Chen Han’s pistol pressed to her forehead as she coldly said, “What’s the matter, you still don’t dare to shoot? You really lack guts as a cop!”

Provoked time and time again, Chen Han could no longer hold back. He aimed the gun at Vermilion Bird’s thigh, ready to pull the trigger.

He dared not blow her head off, but to seriously wound her, he still had the courage.

But before his hand could reach Vermilion Bird’s waist, the next moment, a jet-black military special-issue pistol was already pointed at his head.

The speed with which Vermilion Bird drew her gun could only be described as lightning-fast.

By the time the surrounding police officers reacted and dozens of guns were pointed at Vermilion Bird, hers was already pressed tightly against Chen Han’s head.

Chen Han’s face turned ashen. He had never imagined that this woman, not only highly skilled, but also armed, now had him at gunpoint, and he suddenly did not dare to make a move.

The entire scene was tense, like bows drawn and crossbows pulled, ready to fire at a moment’s notice.

“All of you put your guns down, whoever shoots will be severely punished.”

Huang Weifu, even if he were dull, by now understood that the woman in front of him was far from simple.

Let alone her skills, let alone that she carried a gun, the confidence needed to attack a police officer in front of dozens of them and to point a gun at the head of the police squad—no one could do this without considerable backing.

Moreover, he noticed that the pistol in the woman’s hands was Huaxia Country’s most advanced standard-issue weapon, and a limited edition at that, because there was a special number in the middle of the gun.

Having such a number engraved meant that the pistol was hers alone for life.

This was a custom pistol that only top military personnel in Huaxia Country were entitled to own.

From this, it seemed clear who the woman’s identity might be.

Although he could not be certain who she was, what he could be sure of was that this woman was definitely not someone he could afford to provoke.

“Miss, I apologize, my people have offended you.” After all the officers had put down their guns, Huang Weifu walked over, took an arrest warrant out of his pocket, handed it over, and said, “This is the arrest warrant for Ye Xiong, please have a look.”

From calling her ‘you’ to ‘you’, such a simple form of address already showed a change in Huang Weifu’s attitude.

Everyone around was stunned, the hotel staff had never imagined that this woman, who usually did not show off and only took orders from Ye Xiong, actually held such a status.

Chen Han’s face was ashen; he was not foolish, the change in the chief’s attitude by a full 180 degrees must have been due to realizing something.

Vermilion Bird kicked him in the stomach, sending him tumbling to the floor like a dog trying to eat shit. Only then did she coldly say, “Consider this kick a lesson. If you dare point your gun at me again, I’ll blow your head off. Killing you would be no different to me than killing a dog.”

After saying that, Vermilion Bird finally put away her pistol, took the arrest warrant from Huang Weifu, and examined it closely.

After looking it over, her brows furrowed deeply.

“Chief, as you can see, everything is being done by the book,” Huang Weifu whispered, his demeanor exceptionally gentle. “Ye Xiong has intentionally caused harm; we have clear evidence, and moreover, this order came from above. We’re just following procedure.”

Vermilion Bird was still hesitating when suddenly, a faint voice came from upstairs, “Xiao Song, bring the arrest warrant to me.”

Ye Xiong slowly appeared at the staircase entrance.

Seeing him, all the officers instinctively raised their guns, each one on high alert.
