Chapter 708 - 356: They Are Good People, Killing and Attacking the Heart
He had intended to use that Sword Dance routine from before, but he found that in a real fight, his speed and strength could completely overwhelm his opponents. There was simply no need for all that trouble.
Just then, car after car began pulling into the parking lot—some luxury models, some ordinary ones.
Lin Hao and Guo Feng stepped out of two luxury cars. Evidently, they had all seen the live stream, figured out the location was the parking lot at the East Ring City Expressway entrance, and had rushed over to see the spectacle.
But clearly, they had arrived too late.
"Lao Cheng, are you okay?" Lin Hao immediately stepped forward, asking with concern.
"What could possibly happen to me?" Chen Jincheng shook his head.
"Cheng, you took care of all of them? You’re a beast!" Guo Feng also ran up to greet him.
Chen Jincheng smiled and greeted him back. After all, Guo Feng was a die-hard fan of his, as well as a die-hard fan of Extreme Bar.
The wail of sirens soon followed as a line of police cars sped toward them. Apparently, the authorities in Coastal City had taken notice of the situation and dispatched officers.
It really was just like the old saying: the cavalry always arrives late.
A moment later, a group of officers got out of their cars. One of them, a plainclothes detective, surveyed the scene before walking over to Chen Jincheng. "Mr. Chen, are you all right?"
His first priority, of course, was to confirm Chen Jincheng’s status.
After all, the man was incredibly famous now. Plus, his superiors were aware of the situation and had given explicit orders to ensure his safety.
The detective also knew the city was currently working with him on the Jinglan City project. The top brass was taking it very seriously—they had even transferred personnel from his own department to form a dedicated police force for the Jinglan City scenic area, where a new branch station would be established.
"I’m fine," Chen Jincheng replied, shaking his head.
At that moment, the other officers had finished handcuffing the three criminals. After confirming their identities, one of them came over to report to the plainclothes captain. "Captain, it’s the three wanted men."
The plainclothes captain nodded, then turned his gaze to Ah Pao and his men.
Judging by their elaborate tattoos and the menacing way they held their clubs, it wasn’t hard to guess they were underworld types.
However, he also knew that they were likely the security staff from Chen Jincheng’s bar and that they had come to help deal with the three fugitives.
’So I have to handle this cautiously.’
’After all, there were still over three million people watching Chen Jincheng’s live stream.’
’If I mishandle this, I’ll be flamed into oblivion online. The public outcry would be a disaster, and I’d be finished.’
’So many situations become a nightmare once they’re exposed to the public eye.’
He cleared his throat twice and said to Ah Pao and his men, "Your weapons will have to be confiscated. However, given that you were helping to apprehend wanted criminals, we won’t be pressing charges. In fact, I’ll recommend you for a Good Citizen Award!"
Hearing this, Ah Pao quickly ordered his men to drop their clubs.
They dropped them faster than they would have dropped garbage.
Ah Pao immediately added, "We just found these lying around in the parking lot. We have no idea whose they are."
The plainclothes captain was speechless.
’Yeah, right. Whatever you say.’
He didn’t want to waste his breath arguing with these underworld types. He turned back to Chen Jincheng and said politely, "Mr. Chen, now that the fugitives have been apprehended, we’ll need you to come with us to give a statement."
"Of course," Chen Jincheng nodded.
It was standard procedure, and of course, he would cooperate.
So, he addressed his viewers on the stream. "As you all heard, I need to go give a statement, so that’s all for today’s stream."
With that, he ended the broadcast.
He was, however, a little surprised by the stream’s payout summary.
From this one stream, he had actually earned several million in gifts.
’Those three wanted criminals are real saints, huh?’
Thinking of this, he took out his phone and dialed Sister Hong’s number. The moment she picked up, he asked, "Sister Hong, did you see my stream today?"
"Mm, I was stunned," Sister Hong said, her voice full of awe. "Boss, you’re really one of a kind. To think you’d still be live streaming in a situation like that... and more importantly, you actually dared to take on three wanted criminals and even beat them."
"But this stream did bring you a ton of attention. Your follower count is over 40 million now. You’ve broken into the top 10 creators on TikTok."
Chen Jincheng nodded.
’The ones ahead of me with over forty million are probably Chen Chichi and that group.’
’But the follower count is meaningless.’
’I can pull in over a million concurrent viewers on a single stream. Chen Chichi might have more followers than me, but he’d be lucky to get over 100,000 viewers on a stream.’
Chen Jincheng gave his instructions. "Sister Hong, I need you to have a commemorative banner made and send it to those three wanted criminals. Thank them for me. Not only did they get me a huge wave of new followers, but I also earned several million in gifts from a single stream."
"Uh!" Sister Hong was taken aback.
’Those three have already been caught, beaten up by you, and played for fools. Haven’t they suffered enough? Now you want to rub salt in the wound?’
’Just imagine that banner getting delivered to them in prison. Don’t you think that’ll just make them want to break out and come after you for revenge?’
But the boss had given his order, so all she could say was, "Understood."
After giving his instructions to Sister Hong, Chen Jincheng hung up and walked outside with Sister Hehe.
A sudden gust of wind blew, causing Hehe to spin around and hug him, clutching at the hem of her skirt.
Seeing this, Chen Jincheng teased, "I told you to toss those panties. You’re not even wearing safety shorts, yet you still put on a miniskirt. Serves you right."
Hehe huffed. "Chen Jincheng, don’t you dare gloat. The only reason I’m not wearing safety shorts is for your convenience! Who could’ve known we’d end up being chased by wanted criminals?"
With that, she wrapped her arms around Chen Jincheng’s neck and her legs around his waist. "Carry me to the car."
