The match ended, and I should have gone to the bathrooms next to the locker rooms for a shower. However, Chen Lu, worried about my and Lin Xi's "safety," suggested we leave quickly. I also knew Song Wenzhi wouldn't let this go easily, and primarily, I feared innocent people getting hurt. So, Lin Xi and I, still in our jerseys, left the stadium directly. Before we could even get into the car, several black Mercedes-Benz vehicles converged from all directions, surrounding us. Song Wenzhi had changed his clothes and sat in the back seat of one of the cars, wearing sunglasses and smoking a cigar, he coldly ordered, "Take these three back with me, I'll have my way with these bitches!"
Lin Xi frowned, "Song Wenzhi, I'm not going to give you another chance. I had a great time today and don't want to deal with you. I'll count to three, and you'll disappear from my sight immediately!"
"Oh, who do we have here, daring to talk back to your Grandpa Song like this?" Song Wenzhi got out of the car and flicked his cigar towards Lin Xi's face.
Lin Xi dodged and delivered a kick that landed squarely on Song Wenzhi's vital spot. No, I was mistaken. From her finishing posture, it wasn't a kick, but a **cuà** (to kick with force), and she had deliberately flicked her toe upwards, striking with the sharp sole of her shoe!
Lin Xi's and my soccer cleats weren't steel studs, but plastic bladed studs, even sharper than steel. After Lin Xi's strike, Song Wenzhi was in such pain that he couldn't even utter a sound. He immediately crouched down, then sat, and finally lay on his side, like a shrimp in a wok of hot oil.
A middle-aged man immediately got out of the other side of the Mercedes and leaped directly over the car roof, landing between Lin Xi and Song Wenzhi.
"Be careful, Captain Lin, **Ziqi**," I warned, fearing Lin Xi would be at a disadvantage.
It was the **Ziqi** expert who had been sitting in the stadium earlier. Song Wenzhi had been careless, bringing only one **Ziqi** with him when he went out. It wasn't enough.
The middle-aged man, seeing that I had recognized him, looked slightly surprised and asked with a frown, "Who are you?"
Given the circumstances, there was no need to hide any longer. I directly revealed my identity, "Wu Chengfeng. This is Lin Xi, Captain of the Gilded Yellow Team of the Shabiya General Bureau. Mu Jige is in our car. Do you want to have a go with us, or do you want to take your reckless young master to the hospital for surgery? If you get him there soon, you might still be able to preserve some functions."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man cautiously glanced towards our car. Yao Yao was certainly not there. I was worried that Captain Lin alone wouldn't be enough to intimidate him. At such close range, I could see his face clearly. He wasn't one of the **Ziqi** experts from the Chen family's factory earlier. He might be an expert from headquarters, and judging by his complexion, he was close to the middle stage of **Ziqi**, perhaps a bit more powerful than Lin Xi. Jing Shen and the Eagle Demon hadn't come with me. Fearing Lin Xi would be at a disadvantage, I deliberately lied about Mu Jige being there.
A wise man knows when to adapt. The middle-aged man became hesitant. He turned and carried the already unconscious Song Wenzhi into the Mercedes. The other subordinates, of course, didn't dare to act rashly and drove away.
We smoothly got back into the car. I asked softly, "Captain Lin, that kick of yours, it didn't... kill him, did it?"
"Killed him? I'm a public servant, how could I do something to end a life!" Lin Xi raised her eyebrows. "But their Song family branch is definitely going to be extinguished."
Chen Lu listened with great excitement, rubbing her hands as if she also wanted to participate. Only I remained calm. I asked Chen Lu to call home, including Chen Feng, to tell them to lie low for a while, lest the Song family take their anger out on the Chen family and retaliate again. Song Shanhe was dead, Song Wenzhi was crippled, but he still had two uncles and many powerful Mohe experts behind him.
After this incident, although I felt relieved, especially having helped Chen Lu vent her anger, my identity had been exposed. I couldn't stay in Shengjing anymore. I had to move on, to avoid Long Yue making a surprise return and capturing me, the "reincarnated Bai Ze."
I contacted Chen Ke, and after reuniting with them, I decided to go against the grain, to a place where Long Yue would never expect me to go...
