The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 309 Taking, Not Stealing
The burly man raised his fist, ready to strike Yang Zhen.
In the nick of time, Luo Qian shouted, "Tong Jinjian, stop! Chen Xiao is my friend!"
"So what if he's your friend? You heard what he said. Does he have the right to obstruct official business?"
Tong Jinjian sneered, and his fist, as big as a casserole, swung towards Chen Xiao.
Luo Qian looked helpless. She wanted to tell Tong Jinjian that she was stopping him for his own good...
But since Tong Jinjian didn't appreciate it, Luo Qian couldn't do anything about it.
So, the next moment, Tong Jinjian's huge body was easily knocked to the ground by Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao looked down at him with a sneer.
"Is this what you mean by being impolite to me?"
Tong Jinjian was so angry that he was about to roll his eyes. "You little brat, you're courting death!"
He got up and tried to hit Chen Xiao again, but was knocked to the ground again...
"Stop it. You're no match for him! Don't interfere. Let me talk to him."
Luo Qian said helplessly.
Tong Jinjian snorted angrily, his eyes flashing with anger, but he knew that he was no match for Chen Xiao, so he had to give up for the time being.
In fact, he already knew who Chen Xiao was. They were colleagues. He had heard about the case Luo Qian had handled before, so he knew that Chen Xiao was not a simple person.
However, Chen Xiao made him lose face as soon as they met, and he was full of hostility towards Chen Xiao!
"Luo Qian, what's going on? What did Chu Luo do? If you don't explain clearly, I won't let you take him away."
Chen Xiao's tone was calm, but unquestionable.
Chu Luo, hiding behind Chen Xiao, looked bewildered.
He obviously didn't expect that Chen Xiao, the hospital's department director, could knock down the two-hundred-plus-pound strong man several times, and even more so that Chen Xiao would protect him so much!
Luo Qian glanced around and said awkwardly, "Brother Chen, this isn't the place to talk..."
The commotion had already attracted a large crowd of onlookers, and even the security guards had come.
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, then let's find a convenient place."
With the help of the staff and after explaining to the security guards, Chen Xiao and the others went to an empty office.
Of course, Chu Luo also came along.
Chen Xiao wouldn't let anyone take him away at will, but if he really did something wrong, Chen Xiao would never condone it.
"Tong Jinjian, show Brother Chen the evidence..."
After arriving at the office, Luo Qian said to Tong Jinjian.
Tong Jinjian took out his phone, played a video, and handed it to Chen Xiao: "Take a good look at what kind of person you're protecting!"
Chen Xiao took the phone and looked at it. The video showed Chu Luo.
He was in a large supermarket, holding bread, milk, sausage and other foods, looking sneaky.
He came to a corner, looked around for a while, and after confirming that no one was watching, he suddenly took out a yellow talisman, stuck it on his body, and then his whole body disappeared from the screen, as if he was invisible.
No, not as if, but he was...
Chu Luo was invisible!
Chen Xiao could tell at a glance that the yellow talisman was an invisibility talisman, but why would Chu Luo have an invisibility talisman?
Could it be that this college student is also a cultivator? Chen Xiao was a little puzzled.
Chu Luo, seeing that things were exposed, hurriedly took out an invisibility talisman, stuck it on his body as in the video, and immediately became invisible, disappearing in front of everyone.
Tong Jinjian glared at Chen Xiao: "Look what you've done!"
Chen Xiao ignored him and suddenly threw the phone out.
"Ouch..."
Chu Luo was hit by the phone and immediately fell to the ground, the invisibility talisman falling off his body.
As soon as the invisibility talisman fell off, the invisibility effect on Chu Luo disappeared.
Chu Luo appeared, but Tong Jinjian didn't rush to catch Chu Luo, but shouted and rushed to the ground.
"Damn, that's my newly bought phone..."
He looked distressed. His new phone, which cost more than ten thousand yuan, now had a broken screen after being thrown by Chen Xiao.
At the same time, Chu Luo wanted to repeat the trick, grabbing the invisibility talisman and sticking it on his body.
Chen Xiao stepped forward, grabbed Chu Luo's arm, and said coldly, "Don't waste your energy. With me here, you can't escape!"
"Who exactly are you?"
Chu Luo looked at Chen Xiao in horror.
When he saw Luo Qian and Tong Jinjian coming to catch him, he wasn't panicked at all.
But after being caught by Chen Xiao, he immediately became nervous.
Chen Xiao asked, "Never mind who I am. I'm asking you, why are you stealing things?"
Luo Qian was stunned for a moment, thinking, is this the question we should be focusing on? Shouldn't we be focusing on why he can become invisible?
"Why else? Because I'm hungry!"
Chu Luo rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you see? I only took food!"
"You didn't take it, you stole it!"
Chen Xiao corrected.
Chu Luo curled his lips, looking indifferent: "It's called stealing when you get caught. If you don't get caught, it's taking! Besides, I only took things that were about to expire. Even if I didn't take them, they would be destroyed!"
Chen Xiao thought for a moment and looked at Luo Qian: "What he said seems to make some sense?"
Luo Qian was speechless: "Brother Chen, please don't make trouble, okay..."
Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "I'm not making trouble. I just think that this kid isn't essentially bad. You can't arrest him just because he stole a few pieces of bread. Look, how about this? I'll pay for the things he stole..."
Luo Qian said helplessly, "Brother Chen, this isn't about compensation. This isn't the first time he's done this. He's been committing crimes recently..."
Chen Xiao was slightly stunned and asked, "Oh? What else has he stolen?"
"There's barbecue skewers, bananas, steamed buns, mantou..."
Luo Qian said truthfully.
Chen Xiao shrugged and said, "See? It's all food. I told you this kid isn't essentially bad. With his ability, he could have directly stolen money, or committed bigger crimes!"
Speaking of this, Chen Xiao suddenly asked Chu Luo in confusion: "By the way, why don't you just steal money? Go steal from those corrupt officials and unscrupulous merchants. Wouldn't it be better to be a chivalrous thief? Why be a small food thief?"
Chu Luo snorted and said proudly, "A real man does some things and doesn't do others. I'll reiterate, I didn't steal, I took..."
"Okay, shut up!"
Chen Xiao felt that this kid was just stubborn.
"Chen, can you please stop messing around here!"
Tong Jinjian couldn't stand it anymore and shouted at Chen Xiao.
"Is the main point that he stole things? The main point is that he can turn invisible! His behavior has seriously disturbed the public order and good customs of society. We're taking him away now! If you dare to stop us, I'll take you away too!"
