Chen Yeliang was surrounded by the crowd. Everyone was ogling him as though they were looking at some rare creature. They cast their eyes up and down his body.

Unnerved by the stares, he took two steps back to hide behind the police officers.

The two police officers were tall and well-built. They stood up like a block of wall, completely segregating Chen Yeliang from the crowd.

But even if the onlookers could not see Chen Yeliang, it did not stop them from expressing their feelings.

“Buddy, you were so awesome just now. Which year are you from? Which major?”

“That’s so amazing! I thought that you guys were making a kung-fu film!”

“Buddy, do you feel any pain? Any discomfort?”

Questions poured in like a tidal wave, threatening to drown out the police officers.

They tried their best to impress upon the onlookers that the person behind them needed to rest, but no one paid them any attention.

It was as if Chen Yeliang was Spiderman whose identity had been exposed. Everyone came over hoping to see his real appearance.

Some even took out their cell phones. The sound of the camera shutters going off was like a machine gun rapidly firing at Chen Yeliang.

The clamorous environment eased his anxiety and tense muscles from the earlier life-threatening situation. Chen Yeliang relaxed and smiled.

At this moment, a familiar voice rang out in Chen Yeliang’s mind!

[Congratulations to the Host for completing the rescue mission!]

[Mission Reward: 1. Extension of life for 72 hours.]

1

[With this achievement, the Host’s running speed can reach a hundred meters in nine seconds. His level is comparable to a world champion!]

When he heard the system’s mechanical voice congratulating him, Chen Yeliang was overjoyed! His efforts had paid off!

In the midst of his euphoria, the police officer struggling to hold back the crowd turned around and said to him,

“Buddy, there are too many people here. We can’t hold them back much longer. Go into the police car and I’ll send you to the hospital immediately.”

“My injuries are not serious, I’ll just go to the campus doctor’s office for a check-up.” Chen Yeliang politely declined his offer, turned around and ran towards the campus doctor’s office.

Before he could take two steps, he saw, away from the crowd, a figure making his faltering way towards him.

Chen Yeliang took a closer look and realized that it was the lecturer from today’s lecture.

He vaguely remembered that the lecturer’s name was He Ming. With nearly ten years of teaching experience, he probably would have seen all kinds of school incidents.

Yet right now, He Ming was being supported by someone, looking like an old lady crossing the street. The moment he saw Chen Yeliang, he started crying tears of joy!

He Ming stumbled over, grabbed Chen Yeliang and scrutinized him left and right.

After a while, he gave a long sigh and an ugly smile spread across his face. He shook his head and muttered,

“You are fine, that’s good! That’s good!”

Chen Yeliang did not know how to comfort him and just kept smiling at him.

After the awkward interlude played out for a while, the crowd started to close in around them again, fighting over each other to talk to Chen Yeliang.

Chen Yeliang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Why were these people like paparazzi? He could not get rid of them at all.

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a familiar face at the back of the crowd.

That guy hid at the back, surreptitiously raising his head every now and then. One moment, he was straining his neck to look at Chen Yeliang, the next moment, he was staring towards Lan Sixi. In less than a minute, his head turned back and forth more than ten times like a rattle drum.

That was Li Tan!

A sudden upwelling of rage made Chen Yeliang roared out, “Li Tan, stop right there!”

Following his earth-shattering exclamation, everyone followed his gaze and looked back.

Li Tan was stunned momentarily, but almost immediately started running!

“He’s a bad guy! Quick! Catch him!” Chen Yeliang said angrily.

The two police officers near him were the first to react! They immediately went in hot pursuit of Li Tan’s vanishing figure.

But that Li Tan seemed to have the advantage of low air resistance. He was small and thin, but could run very fast. Within seconds, he pulled away from the pursuing police officers.

Chen Yeliang knew that things were not looking good. Li Tan still had those offensive voyeuristic photos of Lan Sixi. He could not let him escape!

He bent his knees slightly, and could feel the muscle strength of his legs welling up reaching a critical point!

With a whoosh, the onlookers felt a blast of cold air over their heads, as if a big gale of wind had blown past!

Before anyone could react, Chen Yeliang was heading straight for Li Tan like a cannonball!

The two police officers watched as a shadow flashed past them. In the blink of an eye, he had caught up to their target!

Chen Yeliang’s legs moved as though they were flying. His explosive power was on par with a world champion.

In a breath’s time, Li Tan was already within reach!

Chen Yeliang’s lips curled up into a smug smile. He reached out and grabbed Li Tan by the neck like he was grabbing a chicken.

“So what if you run fast? Let go of me!” Li Tan shouted like he had seen a ghost, “Do you f*cking know who my big bro is?”

Chen Yeliang said disdainfully, “Who gives a f*ck! Hurry up and hand over those things!”

Li Tan struggled a little and realized that he could not break free. He sneered at Chen Yeliang and said, “Pooh!”

Chen Yeliang’s reaction was very fast and he dexterously avoided Li Tan’s filthy spittle.

The thick spittle flew in a parabolic arc and landed on the fast approaching police officer’s shoes.

The police officer’s face darkened. He suppressed his disgust and glared at Li Tan in fury!

“Buddy, you ran too fast! Why are you chasing this person?” The other police officer asked, huffing and panting on bent knees. He pretended not to have seen the comical scene.

“It’s him!” Chen Yeliang pointed at Li Tan and said, “He secretly took photos and threatened Lan Sixi, causing her to take things too hard!”

Upon hearing that, the two police officers’ eyes lit up as they said in unison, “Really?”

“It’s true,” Chen Yeliang nodded. “You can ask Lan Sixi about the details.”

Thus saying, Chen Yeliang handed the hunched over Li Tan over to the two police officers.

Li Tan knew that he was in big trouble and was so scared that his eyeballs were trembling. He did not dare to say anything and kept stealing furious side glances at Chen Yeliang, as if wanting to engrave his appearance into his mind!

Even as he was conveyed to the police car, he still bared his teeth and sneered at Chen Yeliang. It was obvious that he was threatening revenge.

But Chen Yeliang did not give a damn. After all, he only had 72 hours of life left. It was not known if revenge would happen within this period.

He watched the police car leave and turned around to go to the campus doctor’s office to seek help for his own injuries.

At this moment, a hand suddenly held on to his shoulder.

The remaining police officer said, “Buddy, since you arrested him, please follow us to the police station to record a statement.”

Chen Yeliang turned around to reject him, but before he could say anything, he felt a burning gaze from not too far away.

The blazing gaze of the gawking lecturers and students bore into Chen Yeliang.

The shocking flying sprint had aroused their curiosity again. Their eyes were wide open with a hint of admiration!

They were only waiting for the police to leave before crowding around Chen Yeliang again, hoping to have a few more words with their hero.

Chen Yeliang had accurately deciphered their intentions. However he did not want to be treated like an animal exhibit in a zoo.

He immediately agreed to the police’s request. “No problem, I’ll go right away!”

Upon hearing this, the policeman revealed a friendly smile. “You can do the statement anytime. I’ll send you to the hospital first.”

Chen Yeliang nodded. Other than the university, he was willing to go anywhere.
