The young woman’s expression remained unchanged upon hearing that. She glared at the pointed end of the dagger with an icy gaze before a trace of a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She did not seem to be a bit fearful but mocked him instead. “Are your skills only limited to kidnapping children and brandis.h.i.+ng daggers to commit violent acts?”
The criminal’s face was ferocious, his eyes had a cruel expression in them. He clamored, “You’re not afraid of this? I’m going to make you cry!”
The crowd gathered around in a circle, quietly observing as spectators. The woman knew that situations like these would result in the bystander effect where no one would voluntarily help her as the crowd grew bigger.
Moreover, she was at a disadvantage because she was fighting these two people while holding on to the child.
The child’s mother was still trailing behind them. She would have to wait until the child was safe before making her move.
The young man became more arrogant when he saw her hesitating. He continued to shout loudly, raising a commotion and telling the middle-aged woman on the ground to get up. “Zhang Xiu, hurry up, take the child and run first. Let me handle this woman!”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiu suddenly found her strength to get up. She charged over to s.n.a.t.c.h the child while Zhao San took the opportunity to stab the woman with his dagger.
As she dodged, the woman simultaneously kicked Zhang Xiu’s lower abdomen. The child was s.h.i.+elded in her arms all the while but he was so frightened that he did not even dare to cry.
Zhang Xiu fell down from the kicks. Seeing that, Zhao San continued to attack ferociously as though he has gone mad and shouted, “I just wanted to steal a child but you, a Chen Yaojin (TN: Name of a famous Chinese general. The name is depicted to describe a situation where someone shows up unexpectedly and disrupts a plan.), had to appear. Prepare to die!”
It was certainly extreme arrogance for a kidnapper to kidnap a child in broad daylight and put up a huge fuss!
The woman dodged his attacks while waiting for the right moment to strike back. She aimed at Zhao San’s knee and struck him hard till he collapsed on the group. She leaped forward and slipped into the crowd to hide.
When those two hoodlums clambered up and saw that more and more people had gathered around them, they attempted to flee because they were too afraid to continue fighting.
“My child! Where’s my child? Little Tiger, Mom… Mom is here…”
The child’s mother had finally caught up and was laboriously panting due to her crying. She trembled as she took her child from the young woman’s arms and said, “My savior… Within the blink of an eye… Those people had s.n.a.t.c.hed Little Tiger… Luckily you were there…”
The child’s mother uttered cries of anguish and was unable to finish her sentence.
The woman’s expression was calm when she pa.s.sed the child back to his mother and quietly said, “Hold your child properly, I’m going after the criminals!”
The people around helped them profusely and pulled the mother and her child to one side while saying, “That was so dangerous. Hurry up and hide here…”
“Oh no, young lady. You shouldn’t chase them anymore. We should leave the catching of criminals to the police and stay far away…”
“That’s right, they even have weapons and perhaps accomplices too…”
“Hurry up and make a police report…”
The crowd continuously discussed this. Some of them had even started taking their phones out to call the police and report the incident.
“I’m a police officer!” The woman calm and beautiful little face looked exceptionally enchanting under the glow of the lights.
She was a promising beauty!
The crowd was astonished. This beautiful young woman was actually a police officer?
It was not surprising then that she was so skillful to the point that the criminals could not harm her at all.
The two criminals could not run quickly because there were too many people. They b.u.mped against the crowd and fell and tried to run again and again before the woman caught up to them. She leaped and kicked both of the criminals in their backs. That unlucky Zhang Xiu was unable to get up this time.
It looked like this woman was very skillful with her legs.
The restless crowd was nearing Shao Yibai and Yuan Xuan’s location. Shao Yibai became more alert and upon hearing the crowd people yelling “s.n.a.t.c.hing children”, “has a dagger”, and “accomplice” among other things, he understood clearly in his heart what had happened.
He saw the criminal in front holding a dagger and yelled to the crowd, “Liu Dong, stop staring blankly. Come over and help me get rid of this girl!”
They apparently still had accomplices.
Another criminal who was probably Liu Dong charged out from the crowd. Both of them quickly surrounded the young policewoman and forced her into the middle.
Yuan Xuan’s expression darkened as though he could not bear to watch this go on. He had just thought of moving before Shao Yibai turned to him and yelled, “You protect the women while I take a look!”
Yuan Xuan nodded and reached his arms out to pull Mu Chenyan into his embrace.
Shao Yibai had gone through challenging experiences in the army ever since he was 17 years old. He was previously also a senior commander in the special forces. Those two people were dead meat! (TN: RAW was cut off.)
