Chapter 36: Older Sister

Li Hui took a sip of tea, his face beaming with pride, "My sleep these past few days has been excellent as well. That stone pillow is truly a wonderful thing." 。"It's amazing, a stone can actually im...In the blink of an eye, he saw the muzzle flash and lightning-fast bullets, and he instinctively surged forward, boldly charging into the hail of gunfire.

"I have to block this shot, I can't let my aunt be in danger!" That was all he could think about.

At the same time, he gathered all his True Dragon Spirit Qi, surging it towards his chest. He believed that since Huang An could block bullets, he surely could too.

"Even if I can't, I won't let my aunt get hurt!"

Suddenly, his chest felt like it was struck by a heavy iron hammer. A surge of force slammed into him, abruptly halting his forward momentum. The intense impact caused excruciating pain in his chest, and the area hit by the bullet went numb, losing all sensation.

"Blocked!" Xiang Tian not only wasn't afraid, but was overjoyed. He quickly touched his chest and found that although the bullet was embedded in his flesh, it hadn't pierced through the muscle tissue. He could still feel the hot bullet casing outside.

Although Huang An had seen someone use their body to block bullets, he had never tried it himself. Before rushing forward, he didn't have much confidence in his heart; he was basically gambling with his life.

But for his aunt, he was willing to risk his life. Luckily, he won the bet.

Aside from relief, I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine as I imagined the consequences if I hadn't blocked the bullet. This is what it means to be afraid after the fact – even normal people experience this feeling when a sudden danger passes.

"Little Tian!"

Perhaps Hsu Ling-wei didn't know Xiang Tian could stop a bullet. She watched in horror as Xiang Tian was shot, blood splattering across his chest. Her heart shattered, and she collapsed to the ground, crying out in agony.

At that moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the conference room. Following closely behind was Zhang Xin in police uniform, pushing aside the officers guarding the door and rushing in.

"Damn it!" Seeing Xiang Tian clutching his chest, swaying precariously, a crimson stain dripping onto the ground, the policewoman's heart shattered. She rushed over and helped Xiang Tian up.

Xu Lingwei also stumbled over and helped Xiangtian on the other side.

He looked at Zhang Xin, then at Xu Lingwei, and suddenly grinned.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I won't die."

Xu Lingwei thought Xiang Tian was afraid she would be heartbroken and sad, so he comforted her on purpose. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. On the other side, Zhang Xin looked at his habitual smirk, and her heart ached. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she tightly covered her mouth and turned away.

Toward the heavens, I am speechless. Is my character so bad that even my own brother doesn't trust me

He had no choice but to wipe the blood from his chest with his clothes, revealing a horrifying bullet hole. Pointing at the bullet, he said: "Look at this."

Xu Lingwei didn't even care about the bloodstains on her chest. She lowered her head and took a close look, then gently touched the bullet with her trembling fingertips. "It really didn't go in" she exclaimed in surprise.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but a look of joyful surprise lit up her beautiful face, more radiant than ever before.

Zhang Xin was also not strong enough to go anywhere. In the blink of an eye, she changed from tears to laughter, but she quickly wiped away the tears on her face and turned to look at Long Hai: "Long Hai, what great sin did Xiang Tian commit that you shot him If you don't make it clear, you are guilty of attempted murder!"

Long Hai was originally staring straight up at the sky, looking dazed. Hearing Zhang Xin's question, he suddenly shouted: "Don't come over! Don't come over!"

He brandished a gun in his hands, waving it around erratically. He looked off, as if mentally unstable, behaving strangely.

He seemed to have gone crazy. I think seeing he was okay after getting shot really got to him, pushing him to the edge of a mental breakdown.

He quickly raised his hand and shouted, "Don't worry, we're not going. Relax, don't get excited."

As he spoke, he slowly retreated backward with Zhang Xin and Xu Lingwei. However, before they had taken a few steps, a shout came from the conference room door.

Long Hai, what are you doing

Turning his head back to look, Hao Zhanbing stood at the doorway with a face ashen. Behind him, Xie Dagun had also arrived.

Hao Zhanbing's internal energy was profound. This roar was like thunder, shaking Long Hai all over. He finally came to his senses and looked at Hao Zhanbing blankly: "Captain Hao, how did you get here"

Hao Zhanbing strode forward, walking up to Long Hai and snatched the gun from his hand: "If I hadn't come, were you going to kill everyone"

"Hmph!" Before Long Hai could reply, Hao Zhanbing let out a cold snort and turned to face Xiang Tian, "Xiao Xiang, are you alright"

He shook his head at the sky and smiled, "Hao team's lion roar is really powerful, even louder than thunder."

Seeing Zhang Xin and Hao Zhanbing, Xiang Tian knew that he was completely done for. Zhang Xin needless to say, must have been alerted by the neighbors after they saw him and his aunt being taken away by the police. Xie Dagun then informed this girl.

However, to his surprise, this little chili pepper actually had some brains. In the face of danger, she didn't panic and called for help from Hao Zhanbing, a big savior. So he turned his head to Zhang Xin and smiled, showing approval in his eyes.

The two of them have been getting along like best friends these days. Zhang Xin could read his intentions from his eyes and immediately puffed up her chin proudly, as if to say, "Well What do you think Am I doing alright"

Hao Zhanbing heard Xiangtian's compliment and shook his head with a smile: "Compared to you, I'm far behind. You're not afraid of bullets, which I can't compare to."

After finishing his words, he straightened his face and said solemnly: "Xiao Xiang, rest assured, I will take charge of this matter for you, and you won't have taken that bullet for nothing."

Xiao Tian nodded his head and then watched as Hao Zhanbing had Long Hai and a few policemen taken away for questioning. Hao Zhanbing came in a hurry, and there weren't enough men to follow him, so Xie Dagun was also called over.

Suddenly, Tian remembered the photos on Long Hai's phone and quickly asked Zhang Xin to follow him. In an instant, only he and Xu Lingwei were left in the conference room.

"Xiao Tian!" Xu Lingwei suddenly hugged Xiang Tian tightly and burst into tears.

Just now, she saw someone shot Xiang Tian. She really thought she was going to lose Xiang Tian forever and was terrified out of her wits, but it turned out to be a false alarm. However, this scare nearly drove her to the brink of collapse.

"Auntie, don't worry, it's alright!" Xiang Tian embraced Xu Lingwei's fragrant shoulder and comforted her warmly. He knew that the events of this evening had been too much of a shock for her.

"Little Tian, promise Auntie, don't ever do this kind of thing again. Auntie can't live without you. If anything were to happen to you, what would Auntie do" Xu Lingwei cried with tears streaming down her face. It was clear that she was truly worried about Tian.

Tian Shen was deeply moved and hugged Xu Lingwei tightly: "Don't worry, Aunt, this will never happen again."

After crying for a while, Xu Lingwei finally stopped, though her eyes were still red. She touched the small hole in Xiang Tian's T-shirt that had been shot through and frowned: "Did it hurt"

Facing the sky, he struck a fit pose and laughed, "My divine power protects me now. Bullets hitting me are like an itch, not painful at all."

Xu Lingwei was amused by his strange appearance and laughed, covering her mouth.

At that moment, Zhang Xin pushed open the door and walked in. She smiled at the ceiling: "Don't worry, I've deleted the photos."

After a pause, she continued, “Longhai has already explained. He said he was assigned by the bureau chief to bring you back. But don't worry, I just called my dad and he said he would look into this.”

With the Chief Inspector involved, it's impossible for the Division Chief to act unilaterally. However, knowing that this girl doesn't get along with her father, she probably called him late at night and they might have had another argument. Looking closely, there was redness in her eyes, as if she had just cried.

However, he couldn't ask too much in front of Xu Lingwei. He smiled and introduced to Xu Lingwei: "Auntie, this beautiful police officer is Dajun Ge's colleague, named Zhang Xin. Her father is the director of our Spring River City Public Security Bureau. Now, should you be at ease"

Xu Lingwei rolled her eyes at Xiang Tian: "What do you mean by 'old man,' just talk nonsense."

Then he walked to Zhang Xin's side, took a close look, and smiled with praise: "It's indeed beautiful, Officer Zhang. You are truly amazing. So young and beautiful, yet you are willing to be a police officer, enduring hardships and suffering. It's really admirable."

When Zhang Xin was praised so highly by her aunt in front of everyone, she blushed and became shy. She felt awkward like a new daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws for the first time. Her hands didn't know where to go. Two red clouds appeared on her face, there was no trace of her fiery spirit, she seemed like an easily embarrassed young girl instead.

Looking at Zhang Xin's appearance, Xiang Tian laughed so hard his stomach hurt. However, Xiaolajiao had warned him not to reveal their relationship, so he could only hold back his laughter, but it was really hard to bear.

"It's actually fine, you just get used to it." Zhang Xin's two earlobes were red, clearly from shyness, but she still responded politely to Xu Lingwei. However, the next sentence left Xu Lingwei speechless.

"Little aunt, are you alright" Zhang Xin asked.

Not only was Xu Lingwei stunned, but Zhang Xin was also stunned. As soon as she spoke, she realized something was wrong. Because she is currently in love with Xiang Tian, subconsciously, she treated Xu Lingwei as an elder. In fact, she was a few years younger than Xu Lingwei, so calling her "Xu Jie" would be more appropriate.

"Oh no, she's definitely going to figure out that I'm dating that bad boy!" Zhang Xin wished there was a hole in the ground she could disappear into right now. This was so embarrassing!

Actually, her relationship with Xiangtian was pretty good. It wouldn't be a big deal if people knew, but she just didn't want anyone to find out. She felt that dating someone younger than herself by a few years would definitely make people laugh at her.

More importantly, she always held herself to the standards of a male officer, sometimes even considering herself a man. She was determined to make a name for herself. If her relationship with Xiang Tian were made public at this time, that little scoundrel would definitely take advantage of it, clinging to her every moment. Her usual tough facade would be completely overturned, how could she work, how could she achieve anything

So, even though she wanted to be with Xiangtian all the time, for work and to prove herself to her father, she decided to hide their relationship. She also forcefully suppressed herself from thinking about Xiangtian, while forcing Xiangtian to agree not to disturb her normal work.

Seeing Zhang Xin's embarrassed and shy look, he burst out laughing inside. However, he quickly continued her words: "Auntie, I just recognized Xin Jie as my big sister the other day, so you have one more junior now!"

Actually, calling her "big sister" is weird. She's his girlfriend! If he didn't say it that way, Xu Lingwei would definitely be suspicious. That little pepper would nag him afterwards, pinching his legs and arms – that's nothing! But not giving him a chance to get closer He would lose out big time.

Looking at Zhang Xin's heaving chest, Xiang Tian couldn't help but think of last night. Xiao Li for him to promise not to come looking for her at the police station, took the initiative to unbutton her uniform for the first time, letting him have his fill.

The chest was hot and soft, with plenty of elasticity. It felt so good to the touch, I still remember it vividly to this day. If Little Pepper got angry and wouldn't let him touch her, that would be a huge loss.

As expected, upon hearing his explanation, Xu Lingwei's face immediately lit up with surprise. She tightly held onto Xiaohuo’s hand and looked at Zhang Xin with a hint of warmth in her eyes. Xiaohuo, in turn, gave a playful glance towards the sky.

That gaze, it's brimming with springtime.

It's too tempting!

At just one glance, Xiang Tian's heart trembled. Xiao Xiangtian immediately stiffened up.
