Summer Kiss

Chapter 78 Injured
Fu Xicheng frowned, his gaze gradually darkening. He was very worried that Jiang Yuning would be kidnapped like that day.

Instead of waiting, he called Xie Linzhou and asked him to drive Meng Shuyu to Jiang Yuning's residence.

He felt uneasy; he wasn't by Jiang Yuning's side, and he wanted to make sure she was safe.

He had just hung up the phone when there was a knock on the door.

Fu Xicheng opened the door and saw Xu Yansheng standing in the doorway.

Xu Yansheng entered the room and sighed, "Shen Xici isn't in the room; he's gone out."

Fu Xicheng frowned. He hadn't expected Shen Xici to be so impulsive. He wondered how Shen Xici had become the captain of the criminal investigation team.
Fu Xicheng walked to the window and touched his chin. "He started looking for trouble as soon as he boarded the cruise ship."

Xu Yansheng followed Fu Xicheng to the window, stood beside him, and voiced his conjecture.

"As far as I know, this cruise ship goes directly to Southeast Asia, and he may be worried that it will be difficult to arrest the man once it is overseas."

Fu Xicheng's expression hardened. "It's good to teach him a lesson. The next stop is Hong Kong. At our current speed, we should arrive at the port around nine o'clock tonight."

"Contact the Hong Kong police first and ask them to cooperate in the arrest. As for Shen Xici, don't worry about him for now."

Xu Yansheng nodded. "I'll take care of it right away."

Soon, night fell, and Fu Xicheng stood in the monitoring room, his eyes fixed on a certain scene on the screen.

Suddenly, he saw a furtive-looking man come out of the room.

Xu Yansheng called, speaking quickly, "Fu Xicheng, the criminal police in Gangcheng are already lying in ambush near the port, ready to strike at any moment."

"Okay, I understand. Someone came out of the room. Tell the others to be on high alert."

Xu Yansheng agreed, "Okay."

Soon, the cruise ship approached the port. Fu Xicheng did not stay in the monitoring room but went up to the deck.

He caught a glimpse of a dangerous target out of the corner of his eye. Just then, Shen Xici emerged from the shadows and swiftly subdued the man before him.

The man was quickly pinned down by Shen Xici. He pulled off the mask on the man's face and discovered that the man was not the one he was looking for.

Just then, a woman in high heels, holding a gun, quietly approached Shen Xici.

Fu Xicheng sensed something was wrong and immediately threw the wine glass in his hand away.

The wine glass was too light; it did not hurt the man at all.

Hearing the sound of a wine glass shattering, Shen Xici quickly rolled to the side, dodging a gunshot.

The man fired wildly at Shen Xici.

Fu Xicheng moved swiftly, grabbing Shen Xici's clothes and pulling him into the cruise ship.

He cursed, "Idiot, now you've alerted the enemy."

Shen Xici's face was grim. He watched helplessly as the man dressed as a woman ran away and gradually disappeared from his sight.

He clenched his fists tightly and remained silent.

Fu Xicheng gave a cold smile. He never fought a battle he wasn't sure of winning. He reassured Shen Xici.

“Police officers have been lying in wait near the port; he can’t escape.”

Soon, intense gunfire erupted in the distance.

Shen Xici became alert. He checked his weapon and ran out quickly.

He swiftly attacked from behind, knocking the man to the ground. He handcuffed the man, and a smile finally appeared on Shen Xici's face.

Just then, Fu Xicheng noticed something amiss and quickly rolled over with Shen Xici.

The man had other accomplices, something they hadn't anticipated. Soon, due to the overwhelming disparity in strength, the man's accomplices were shot dead by the police.

Shen Xici walked out from the side, angrily grabbed the man by the collar, and dragged him to the police car.

He approached Fu Xicheng, his attitude noticeably changed, "Brother Fu, thank you."

Fu Xicheng chuckled lightly, feeling that helping Shen Xici today was worthwhile.

For the first time in his life, he had gotten Shen Xici to willingly say thank you to him.

Fu Xicheng said, "This is the second time you've said thank you to me today, Shen Xici. So you can say thank you too."

Suddenly, Shen Xici smelled a familiar scent. He looked down at the man beside him and asked, "Are you injured?"

Fu Xicheng glanced down at the injured spot, but he didn't care at all.

He felt it was worth it to suffer this minor injury and have it change Shen Xici's attitude towards him.

"It's just a bullet graze, no need to make such a fuss."

Fu Xicheng was grazed by a bullet while saving him.

If he hadn't pulled him to the side in time, he would likely have been seriously injured.

He gave Fu Xicheng a meaningful look, unsure of what to say to him.

"Team Leader Shen."

A detective in police uniform walked over from a short distance away. He seemed to know Shen Xici.

Fu Xicheng didn't want to stand there chatting idly, so he waved his hand and said, "Shen Xici, you don't need to worry about me. Business is important. You should take care of your own business first."

Fu Xicheng stood still, watching the brightly lit police force in the distance, all for the purpose of arresting a criminal.

He gave a self-deprecating smile and bent down to get into a black sedan.

In the car, Wen Shu simply disinfected Fu Xicheng's wound.

At this moment, Xu Yansheng spoke up to remind him, "Fu Xicheng, should we go and visit Mr. Pei in Hong Kong? If it weren't for his help today, things probably wouldn't have gone so smoothly. You know how difficult those criminal police officers in Hong Kong are to deal with."

Fu Xicheng lowered his eyes. "Have someone prepare a generous gift for Mr. Pei. We'll visit him in person another day when we have time."

Xu Yansheng didn't understand why Fu Xicheng left halfway. Since they had already arrived in Gangcheng, why not just deal with the matter at hand?

He didn't ask any further questions; perhaps he had his reasons for doing so.

Fu Xicheng glanced at the location of the wound, then looked up at Xu Yansheng and said, "Book me the earliest flight to Haicheng."

Xu Yansheng nodded.

At that moment, someone knocked on the car window. Fu Xicheng pressed a button, and the car window slowly rolled down.

A man in a black suit stood outside the car door, and he bowed respectfully.

"Mr. Fu, Mr. Pei invites you to sit in the car."

Fu Xicheng looked up and saw a low-key black Mercedes parked not far away.

He got out of the car, walked a distance, and then got into the black Mercedes.

Inside the Mercedes, Pei Yanting, dressed in a white casual outfit, sat lazily with a cigar between his index and middle fingers.

Fu Xicheng got into the car and glanced at Pei Yanting indifferently. "Thank you for your help today."

Pei Yanting did not light the cigar, but instead put it into a specially made box.
