"Screech!"

The van that was speeding along suddenly stopped, and the huge inertia sent everyone lurching forward.

"What's going on! Why did we stop all of a sudden!"

The man holding the dagger roared angrily.

"Big brother... someone's blocking the way at the intersection ahead..."

"Blocking the way?"

The man with the dagger looked up and indeed saw a person standing in front of the van, an unremarkable-looking man, "Honk the horn and tell him to get lost!"

"Beep beep beep..."

The bald man pressed the horn hard several times and stuck his head out of the window and shouted, "Get lost! Move it now!"

Sitting in the back seat, Liu Mengyao raised an eyebrow and muttered to herself in surprise, How could it be him? She recognized at a glance that the man blocking the way was Gao Fei, a guy she found extremely annoying.

Seeing that Gao Fei stood motionless in front of the van, the man with the dagger became furious, "Ram into him! Crush this blind fool!"

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

As the bald man pressed the gas pedal, the van charged towards Gao Fei.

Faced with the van speeding towards him, Gao Fei showed no sign of panic. With a light tap of his toes on the ground, he soared into the air and then gracefully landed on top of the van.

"Big brother, that guy has climbed onto the roof!" the bald man driving the van shouted.

"Shake him off!" ordered the man with the dagger.

"Right on." The bald man started to swerve the van back and forth on the road, intending to use the huge inertia to shake Gao Fei off. This might have worked on an average person, but not on Gao Fei. He crouched down, grabbed the edges of the roof with both hands, and remained as stable as Mount Tai, no matter how much the van swayed it was impossible to shake him off.

"Big brother, the man on the roof is a freak!" the bald driver said desperately, "I just can't shake him off."

"Damn it!" swore the man with the dagger, "Third, open the window and shoot him down with your gun!"

15:06

"Yes." As soon as the thug known as 'Third' stuck his pistol out, it was seized by a strong and powerful hand—the owner of that hand was, of course, Gao Fei. With a light tug, he snatched the pistol away and then flicked it back into the van.

"Bang!"

"Ah!"

The gun landed squarely on Third's nose, and with a crisp "crack", blood began to flow. Third clutched his nose and howled in agony, knowing that his nasal bone had been broken and that if he didn't receive treatment soon, the consequences would be dire.

"Kill him for me!" The man with the dagger yelled furiously upon seeing Third injured, "Kill that bastard!!!"

Excluding the bald driver and the injured Third, the remaining three masked thugs all aimed their pistols out of the windows to shoot at Gao Fei; however, to their utter shock, before they could even pull the triggers, Gao Fei had already snatched the guns from them—all three pistols were taken.

"Here you go!" With a flick of his hand, Gao Fei threw the three pistols back.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Ahh ahh ahh..."

The three guns landed unerringly on the faces of the three thugs. Blood splattered, and the thugs clutched their faces and screamed in pain.

"Hiss..." The man with the dagger took a sharp breath, not expecting Gao Fei to be so formidable, dispatching four of his men in a blink of an eye...

Liu Mengyao, with her hands tied, was equally astonished. She hadn't expected Gao Fei to be such a skilled fighter. She had misjudged him; how wrong she was.

"Stop the car now, or you'll get a taste of having your noses broken too!" Gao Fei said coldly.

"Stop your grandmother!" cursed the man with the dagger, "I'm warning you, get down now, or I'll immediately kill this policewoman!" As he spoke, he pressed the dagger against Liu Mengyao's throat.

"I hate being threatened the most." Gao Fei searched his body for a moment, then pulled out two one-yuan coins. With a flick of his fingers, the two coins shot into the van, "Bang!" One coin struck the wrist of the man with the dagger, and the second one hit his temple.

"Clang!" The sound rang out.

The dagger slid from the man's hand and fell inside the vehicle. Then, the man's eyelids flipped upwards and he passed out cold. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In fact, Gao Fei had shown mercy. Otherwise, the man with the dagger would have had his temple pierced and would have died instantly. Now, merely knocked unconscious, he was extremely lucky.

"Go!" Gao Fei flicked another coin, this time at the bald driver.

The coin struck the temple of the bald man perfectly, and then he, too, nobly lost consciousness. With the bald man no longer in control, the van veered off its course and finally crashed into a pole, bending it with the force of impact. The front of the van was deformed, and a column of black smoke began to rise from the engine.

"Whoosh!"

Gao Fei leaped down from the roof, then opened the door, knocked out the remaining four conscious bandits, and dragged out the disheveled Liu Mengyao.

"You..." Just as Liu Mengyao was about to speak, Gao Fei cut her off.

"Are you feeling grateful? Want to say thank you?" Gao Fei said with a smile.

"I really didn't expect you to be so skilled," Liu Mengyao said with a complex look towards Gao Fei, "It really is true what they say: 'Appearances can be deceiving.'" By looks, Gao Fei did not appear to be a master of unique skills.

"I've got plenty of good qualities," Gao Fei said as he untied the ropes around Liu Mengyao, "you just haven't noticed them. Let me give you some friendly advice—don't do anything this reckless again. You were lucky to run into me today, or else... well, you'd be out of luck!"

"I'm a police officer! It's my duty and responsibility to catch these criminals!" Liu Mengyao insisted seriously.

Gao Fei curled his lip: "You still need to assess your own strength. Why go if you know it's a death sentence? You're just too naive."

"I was about to win, but there was another criminal hidden among the hostages..."

"Enough, no need to explain!" Gao Fei waved his hand: "Just be more careful in the future. You can't meet me every time."

"Oh my goodness... Thank goodness, Liu Mengyao, you're finally safe." The criminal investigation team leader, Song Minghui, came running over with a bunch of officers: "Sir, thank you so much for today. If you hadn't acted in time, the criminal would have escaped..." Song Minghui expressed his gratitude to Gao Fei, genuinely thankful.

"I have something to do, I'll be leaving." Gao Fei greeted them and then stepped away.

Liu Mengyao stood there, watching Gao Fei's departing figure, her expression complex. Just how many secrets did this guy have? After today's events, her impression of Gao Fei had significantly improved.

"Take all these criminals away!" Song Minghui ordered loudly. Capturing all the criminals at once was no small feat indeed.

...

As Gao Fei walked away, he couldn't help but feel smug. Reaching the Qi Gathering Stage really was different. With just a few moves, he had subdued six criminals, and they even had guns! That would have been inconceivable before.

If the First Layer of the Qi Gathering Stage was this powerful, what would it be like to reach the Tribulation Crossing Stage? By then, simply waving his hand could turn enemies to ash.

Humming a tune on his way back, Gao Fei took a hot shower before starting his cultivation practice. Now that he had tasted the sweetness of cultivation, he was even more diligent and determined.

The next morning, Gao Fei was woken up by the urgent ringing of his cell phone.

Picking up the phone, he saw an unfamiliar number and pressed the answer button with a puzzled tone: "Hello? Who is this?"

"It's me." A woman's voice came through the phone: "Liu Mengyao!"

"Ah, it's you." Gao Fei laughed: "How did you get my number?"

"Don't forget, I'm a police officer. It's not hard to find out your number," Liu Mengyao said.

Gao Fei curled his lip: "What do you want?"

"You assisted the police in catching the criminals, so the department has decided to give you a reward," Liu Mengyao said: "If you're free now, come to the police station."

"Reward? What kind of reward?" Gao Fei asked: "Is there a cash prize?"

"There's a cash prize, and it's not small."

"Really? How much?"

"Fifty thousand yuan."

"Only fifty thousand?"

"What, is that too little?"

Gao Fei smacked his lips: "If it weren't for me, you couldn't have caught those criminals at all! You saw how vicious those criminals were. If you had let them get away, think of the threat they would pose to society!"

"The reward is only fifty thousand yuan. If you don't want it, then forget it."

"No, wait, I didn't say I don't want it..."

"Then hurry up and come to the police station," Liu Mengyao ended the call.

...

An hour later.

Gao Fei arrived at the police station.

"Here, this is the cash prize and the medal," Liu Mengyao handed an envelope to Gao Fei.

Gao Fei looked inside and saw two items, a bank card, and a red medal. The back of the bank card had the PIN written on it, six identical digits, easy to remember. He tucked the envelope into his jacket and turned to leave.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" Liu Mengyao called out: "I still have something to say!"

Gao Fei stopped and turned around: "What is it?"

"Thank you! Thank you for saving my life yesterday!" Liu Mengyao said earnestly: "To show my gratitude, I want to invite you to dinner."

"No need..." Gao Fei began to refuse, only to be interrupted by Liu Mengyao.

"You must accept!" Liu Mengyao said sternly: "You can't say no!"

"You..."

"Are you free tonight?"

"I guess I am free..."

"Then we'll meet tonight! Wait for my call!" Liu Mengyao made the decision, leaving no room for Gao Fei to refuse.
