I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 179 - Fang Xiaocao: Well, that’s it.
Chapter 179: Chapter 179 Fang Xiaocao: Well, that’s it.
By the time the police arrived, Fang Xiaocao had handed over all the stupid assassins to the officers.
The officers looked at Fang Xiaocao with faces full of peculiar expressions.
How could such a young girl who looked like a student single-handedly take down four big men?
“Young lady, the nails in their legs…”
A middle-aged officer, pointing at the steel nails in the assassins’ legs, asked hesitantly.
The force and depth had raised the officers’ suspicion, making them wonder if Xiaocao might have used some illegal weapon.
“Oh, that? I shot it!”
Xiaocao blinked and said with a smile.
Officer: …
“I know you shot it, but what did you use to shoot it in?”
The officer asked in a deep voice.
“With my hands!”
Xiaocao answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Officer: …
“Do you think I believe you?”
The exasperated officer said.
“Huh?”
Hearing this, Xiaocao was baffled.
“Why doesn’t uncle believe me?”
Xiaocao blinked, asking puzzledly.
“How could this force have come from using hands?”
The officer pointed to the photo showing the nails embedded to the hilt in the assassins’ legs and said seriously.
“Uncle, I really didn’t lie to you!”
“If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you!”
Xiaocao said resignedly.
“Young lady, you…”
Just as the officer was about to scold Xiaocao, a “whoosh” sound was heard, and a flash of silver zipped past before his eyes.
Instinctively looking towards it, he saw a steel nail had, at some point, been embedded in the door frame behind him.
The officer was certain there hadn’t been a steel nail in the door frame when he arrived.
“You?”
“How did you do that?”
The officer asked with a shocked expression on his face.
“Just like this~”
Xiaocao said with a giggle.
As she spoke, she took a steel nail out of her waistband in front of the officer and flicked her wrist, shooting the nail out.
The officer barely caught a glimpse before another nail, embedded three inches deep, appeared in the door frame behind him.
“What the hell?”
Even the officers couldn’t help but curse in amazement.
With a flick of her wrist, she managed to shoot a small nail a few steps away into the door frame, three inches deep.
Could a human even do this?
He would need a hammer to nail, and even then, it would take two strikes.
“Young lady…”
“You… what is this?”
The officer stuttered, at a loss for words to describe Xiaocao’s seemingly superhuman feat.
“Officer, I’ve practiced Kung Fu~”
Xiaocao blinked, realizing that her recent actions might have been a bit too shocking, so she quickly came up with an excuse to cover for herself.
“Oh…”
Hearing Xiaocao’s explanation, the officer found it somewhat more reasonable, but his expression was still one of shock.
“Uncle, is there anything else?”
“If not, I’m getting a bit sleepy.”
Saying so, Xiaocao even yawned.
“Uh…”
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
Hearing Xiaocao’s words, the officer found himself at a loss for words.
He had wanted to ask more questions, but after hearing Xiaocao’s comment, he felt somewhat reluctant to press further.
Xiaocao wasn’t a suspect, just acting in self-defense; inquiring too much indeed wasn’t very appropriate.
And given that the young lady was already tired, it would be overly intrusive to keep questioning her.
“Okay, then get some rest.”
After finishing speaking, the police nodded and said,
“Hmm…”
“Little girl, when you have time, go to the police station and register your Kung Fu.”
As he reached the door, the police officer stopped in his tracks, turned his head towards Fang Xiaocao, and said, while also pointing at the Steel Nail on the door frame,
“Take care, Uncle~”
Fang Xiaocao stood beside the door, waving at the police officer’s departing figure.
After the police officer had left, Fang Xiaocao looked towards the hostel owner and began to speak, “Boss, don’t you have something to say?”
These four assassins had actually sneaked into the hostel and even came knocking on her door. How could the hostel owner not be responsible?
This hostel was a small western-style building.
The hostel owner lived on the first floor!
When checking in, he had said that after midnight the hostel’s main door would be locked, and it wouldn’t be opened until seven in the morning. If guests needed to go in or out during this time, they would have to get the keys from the hostel owner.
These rules were posted next to the door of each room for the guests to read conveniently.
Upon hearing Fang Xiaocao’s words, the hostel owner’s expression stiffened, and his eyes uneasily shifted towards Xiaocao.
Fang Xiaocao narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing the hostel owner.
In her heart, she was guessing whether the hostel owner had any connections with the Blacklist.
“Is he an outer member of the Blacklist?”
“Or did he just succumb to greed and took money from those four foolish assassins?”
With these thoughts, Fang Xiaocao flicked her hand, and a Steel Nail slid out from her sleeve into her grasp.
If the hostel owner dared make any sudden moves, Fang Xiaocao would be sure to act first, pinning the owner to the wall with the Steel Nail in her hand.
“Well…”
“I…”
“This…”
The hostel owner, at a loss for words, stammered, unable to form a complete sentence.
“Boss, what about the rules of your establishment?”
Fang Xiaocao pointed to the notice next to the door, tilting her head and squinting her eyes with a sardonic gaze at the hostel owner.
“What do you think will happen if I call the police back now?”
Fang Xiaocao toyed with the Steel Nail in her hand, asking with a sneer.
Seeing the Steel Nail in Xiaocao’s hand, the hostel owner’s face showed sheer panic as he swallowed hard with a “gulp.”
The hostel owner had also witnessed Fang Xiaocao’s Steel Nail shooting demonstration for the police.
He certainly didn’t wish to be on the receiving end of that.
“Guest, please let me explain…”
The hostel owner stepped back and hastily began to speak.
“Alright, I’ll listen to your explanation!”
Fang Xiaocao smiled and replied.
“Phew…”
Upon hearing Xiaocao’s words, the hostel owner breathed a sigh of relief.
“It was out of greed that I took their money. I swear, I had no idea they were going to break in and attempt murder…”
The hostel owner explained with a morose expression.
“Alright, alright, so you did take the money, didn’t you?”
“Why do you think they’d give you money to get into this hostel if they had no ulterior motives?”
“As the hostel owner, didn’t you think there was something wrong with this situation?”
Fang Xiaocao glared at the hostel owner and asked in a cold voice.
“I, I, I…”
“They told me they were here to catch a cheater…”
It took the hostel owner a while before he eventually gave an answer that shocked Xiaocao.
“What?”
“Catch a cheater?”
Hearing this reason from the hostel owner, Fang Xiaocao was dumbfounded.
“Mhm…”
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to take the money…”
The hostel owner explained with a lugubrious face.
“Heh heh…”
Fang Xiaocao chuckled to herself.
She thought, “You feel wronged too?”
“I almost got killed by those assassins because of your greed.”
Sick of dealing with the hostel owner’s pathetic behavior, Fang Xiaocao lost interest in berating him further.
She switched to another room and continued to sleep.
