"What are you doing"

"Don't move!"

"Quickly get up!"

A few stern shouts echoed out, and the policemen instantly went on high alert as if facing a prison break.

This commotion naturally immediately alarmed Qiu Ming; he yelled loudly: "Be careful! He's trying to assassinate the witnesses!"

"Are you crazy" Xia Tian had already gotten up from the ground at this point, "I just fell down. Is that not allowed"

As Xia Tian spoke, he took a few steps back and put on an aggrieved look: "What kind of place is this So slippery, anyone could easily slip and fall! If it wasn't for Officer Sister here, I wouldn't ever come to such a terrible place again!"

"I wish you never would!" Cold Ice responded coldly; that damned rogue always managed to drag everything back to him!

Seeing Xia Tian make no further moves, Qiu Ming naturally couldn't do anything either and could only order his men to quickly take the kidnappers away. He felt that Xia Tian's arrival was not a good sign. Recalling how his lips were inexplicably slashed, he suspected that Xia Tian had come to assassinate these three kidnappers. Since Qiao Donghai's arrest came from their testimonies, if all of them died, nobody would testify against Qiao Donghai in court. Without any evidence or witnesses, the police station would have no choice but to release him.

The policemen followed orders and quickly escorted the three kidnappers away. Xia Tian remained standing at his spot without moving, while Xiao Qiao suddenly shivered; she had abruptly felt a chill. Unconsciously, she looked over at Xia Tian. Her instincts told her that her husband was up to something.

No one noticed that in the summer, each of his hands had three fingers exuding wisps of white vapor. At the tips of these six fingers, strangely enough, ice needles were forming. These ice needles were slender and looked like acupuncture needles, though they weren't as long as typical silver needles.

The summer's complexion suddenly turned a bit pale with an unnatural flush. As the three kidnappers reached the end of the corridor, he simultaneously flicked his six fingers, sending out six ice needles towards them. Unnoticed by anyone else, these ice needles penetrated into each of the kidnappers' bodies. The only reaction from the kidnappers was a sudden shiver before they remained still.

"Honey, how is it Did you see" Seeing the kidnappers disappear around the corner, Qiao Xiaoqiao couldn't help but ask.

Summer didn’t speak; he slumped over and fell into Liu Meng's arms.

"Honey, what’s wrong with you" Qiao Xiaoqiu's face changed, "Quickly, let’s go back!"

"Little rascal, you are too useless! How did you lose your strength again" Liu Meng was a little unhappy as she picked him up. This future witch had quite the strength and lifting someone wasn’t difficult for her.

Cold Ice saw this sudden change and couldn't help but feel surprised. She hadn’t seen anything suspicious from that smelly rogue, so why did he suddenly faint

The first time she witnessed Summer’s collapse, Cold Ice's impression of him changed somewhat. Beforehand, the feeling she got from this rogue was that of a superhuman變態 (perverted) freak, but now it seemed like there might actually be some weaknesses to him.

Qiu Ming didn't sleep well all night long due to Summer and Qiao Xiaoqiao's coincidental appearance at the police station and how conveniently Summer had fallen on one of the kidnappers. This led him to feel that something was off, he felt sure it wasn’t a coincidence but rather deliberate.

That noon when he met Summer and Qiao Xiaoqiu in the Heavenly Queen bar, less than two hours later, Xie Li came to the police station to recant her accusation of being false, forcing him to release Qiao Dongyun. He believed that it was definitely due to some trick played by Qiao Xiaoqiu and Summer.

The way Summer fell down left Qiu Ming feeling incredulous because everyone knew how good Summer was at fighting and that he was a martial arts expert. Even an elderly lady of eighty wouldn't easily fall in such a narrow corridor, so why did this supposed martial arts master fall

Qiu Ming always felt that something strange had happened to the kidnappers in the summer, just like how his lips inexplicably got injured before. Because of this worry, he couldn't sleep well all night, fearing that his phone would suddenly ring and tell him that the three kidnappers had died unexpectedly.

However, his phone didn't ring once throughout the night. By dawn, he was starting to feel exhausted and eventually fell asleep for a short while. When he woke up again, it was already ten in the morning.

Rushing over to the police station after getting dressed, Qiu Ming noticed that everyone's demeanor seemed off.

"What happened" asked Qiu Ming with a frown, an uneasy feeling rising in his heart.

"The Chief Superintendent has arrived," someone whispered.

Just as Qiu Ming was about to speak, he saw two people emerge from the interrogation room. One of them was Chief Superintendent Huang Haitao, and the other was none other than Qiao Donghai.

What made Qiu Ming feel infuriated was that not only were handcuffs not on Qiao Donghai, but Huang Haitao even smiled apologetically at him: "Young Master Qiao, I apologize for any inconvenience."

Qiu Ming almost went crazy with anger. He took a step forward and angrily questioned Huang Haitao: "Chief Superintendent, what's the meaning of this Why did you release him"

"Detective Qiu, are you trying to frame me again" Despite having been in interrogation for a long time, Qiao Donghai appeared to be in good spirits.

Huang Haitao frowned. This Qiu Ming was too uncooperative; he felt somewhat displeased: "Qiu Ming, what nonsense are you yelling about We operate according to evidence when handling cases. Since there's no evidence, we have to release him. Why do you lack any legal awareness"

"Chief Superintendent, how can there be no evidence Three people identified him; how can it be said that there is no evidence" Qiu Ming angrily rebutted.

"Why don't you go ask those three people now" Huang Hailao's expression darkened. "Did you drink too much last night Go clear your head first and then deal with the situation."

"Captain Qiu, those three have changed their confessions!" A detective couldn’t hold back and spoke up.

"Changed their confessions How is this possible" Qiu Ming's expression drastically shifted. "They were so certain before; how could they now deny it There must be a problem!"

"Captain Qiu, those three guys are now even denying the kidnapping incident altogether, not acknowledging that they did it at all. Therefore, naturally, there is no question of anyone who might have instructed them to kidnap someone," the detective added.

Qiu Ming's expression kept changing before he suddenly roared nearly madly, "Summer! It has to be Summer! I knew from the start that he wouldn't come here for nothing. He must be behind this!"

The crowd looked at Qiu Ming with strange expressions; no one spoke up except for Qiao Donghai who quietly whispered two words: "Madman!"

"What did you say" Qiu Ming suddenly roared at Qiao Donghai. "I tell you, don't think you're safe! I will definitely find evidence and arrest you again."

"With your kind of skills" Qiao Donghai had a disdainful look on his face while silently mouthing two words: "Idiot!"

Qiu Ming, already furious beyond measure, encountering such an obvious provocation from Qiao Donghai felt a surge of blood rushing to his head. He couldn’t hold back any longer and suddenly rushed forward with a punch.

Qiao Donghai didn't dodge; perhaps he simply had no time to do so. In any case, the punch landed squarely on his face, causing half of it to swell up immediately while blood trickled from his lip.

"Qiu Ming! What are you doing" Huang Hailao shouted angrily.

Qiao Donghai, however, was not angry at all; instead, a bright smile appeared on his face: "Qi Ming, this time, even Lin Zihao won't be able to save you!"

Turning to look at Huang Haitao, Qiao Donghai smiled indifferently: "Director Huang, I believe there shouldn’t be any problem if I file a case of intentional injury against him"

Without waiting for Huang Haitao’s reply, Qiao Donghai laughed heartily and walked out.

In the police station, everyone sighed inwardly; Qi Ming had clearly fallen into Qiao Donghai's trap, and this time, Qi Ming truly was in a predicament from which there would be no escape.

When Xia Tian woke up, Liu Meng was lying on top of him, brushing her long hair across his face, looking rather bored.

"Little rascal, you finally woke up! I'm so hungry!" Liu Meng pouted unhappily. "It's all your fault for not letting go of me; that’s why I couldn’t eat."

“I feel like my stomach is also pretty empty!” Xia Tian muttered to himself and checked the time—it was already past 10 AM. He had slept quite a long time, more than ten hours, even longer than after he treated Ye Tianshan.

"Feng'er, quickly ask someone to bring food over!" Qiao Xiaoqiao hurriedly instructed; she had been standing by the side all along and knew immediately when Xia Tian woke up.

Qiao Feng'er made a phone call, and soon breakfast was brought over. There were two bowls of noodles, fried eggs, milk, and much more—enough for at least five or six people.

But since both Liu Meng and Xia Tian were hungry, and their appetites weren’t small either, it didn’t take long before they finished off the food meant for five or six people in one go.

Liu Meng patted her stomach and looked at Xia Tian pitifully: "Little rascal, I don’t feel full; how about you"

"I don't feel fully satisfied either," Xia Tian thought aloud.

Qiao Xiaoqiao was taken aback and then said, "Feng'er, tell them to send more food up."

Ten minutes later, Liu Meng rubbed her protruding belly contentedly. "Ah, I'm finally full!"

"I ate until I felt about eighty percent satisfied," Xia Tian said. "That's enough."

Qiao Feng'er rolled her eyes; this person was truly a glutton. He had eaten what at least five people could eat and still claimed to only be eighty percent full! Even pigs wouldn’t eat that much!

At this moment, Qiao Huang'er answered a phone call and then told Qiao Xiaoqiao with obvious delight, "Miss Qiao, the Young Master is back!"

"Really" Qiao Xiaoqiao was also filled with surprise. She pulled Xia Tian towards the exit. "Husband, let's go see Brother!"

The group walked out to find an elevator door opening just as Qiao Donghai stepped out of it. From afar, he shouted at Xia Tian, "Hehe, Xia Tian! Hurry up and tell me how you got me out!"

Hearing this, not only Qiao Xiaoqiao but also Qiao Feng'er and Qiao Huang'er looked at Xia Tian. It seemed that Qiao Donghai was fine after all; it really must have been Xia Tian's doing
