Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Qiao Chusheng thought he would try his best to stop her and avoid making enemies if possible.

He said helplessly, "Alright, but you have to listen to me and not do anything rash."

Yan Jin didn't speak. How could she intimidate people without taking action? If she didn't act, there was still room for discussion. She would first observe their attitude.

Judging from her expression, Qiao Chusheng felt that the chances of her agreeing were slim.

Helpless, he could only say, "If you don't agree, I can't take you!"

Yan Jin glanced at him and said dismissively, "We'll see!"

Qiao Chusheng couldn't persuade her, and he couldn't beat her even if he tried to stop her.

Moreover, she couldn't possibly do it herself; partly because she was reluctant, but also for her own sake.

Finally, having no other choice, he relented, saying, "I can't do anything with you anymore, so let's go."

Qiao Chusheng drove to an old house. It was raining outside. He parked the car.

He turned to look at her and said, "Wait a moment, I'll get an umbrella and come pick you up."

Yan Jin nodded, and Qiao Chusheng opened the car door, opened his umbrella, got out, and then walked to the passenger side to help her out.

The two walked into the courtyard, where Hu Zhuxuan was sitting on a stool, waiting for them.

Qiao Chusheng stepped forward and handed the umbrella to Yan Jin: "You take it first."

Yan Jin took the umbrella and held it over their heads. Qiao Chusheng took a step outside and got soaked in the rain.

Yan Jin stepped over to keep him from getting wet in the rain. Qiao Chusheng turned to look at her helplessly, while Yan Jin looked back at him expressionlessly.

Seeing the unyielding look in her eyes, Qiao Chusheng had no choice but to give up.

"Did you two come here to be all lovey-dovey?" Hu Zhuxuan asked, observing their actions.

Qiao Chusheng turned around and gave Hu Zhuxuan a traditional Jianghu salute.

"Uncle Xuan, it's been a long time."

Hu Zhuxuan said sarcastically, "Qiao Si, oh no, I should call you Detective Qiao. I've heard you've solved a series of bizarre cases recently and become famous throughout Shanghai!"

Qiao Chusheng smiled and shook his head: "No, it's all thanks to everyone's help!"

"Xie Zhen is my own nephew. How could you arrest him?"

"He committed murder, and the evidence is conclusive."

“He killed a beast; he was acting on behalf of Heaven. You are aiding and abetting a tyrant.”

The guard next to him spoke up: "Lu Yao solved this case. Hand him over, and we won't make things difficult for you."

Qiao Chusheng lowered his eyelashes: "Lu Yao is just a handyman, I'm the detective, I'm the one who told him to do it."

Hu Zhuxuan's gaze turned displeased, and Qiao Chusheng said, "Uncle Xuan, as a junior, I'd like to apologize to you first."

"Host, let's go!" Xiao Qi was a little excited at the atmosphere.

"I know, don't worry."

Just as Qiao Chusheng reached for his collar, Yan Jin grabbed his arm.

"What are you going to do?"

Qiao Chusheng smiled at her and said, "I'm fine, let go of me!"

"I won't let you go until you tell me!" Yan Jin's eyes were dark and deep, giving the impression that she wouldn't give in.

"What do you mean by this? Either hand over Lu Yao, or you'll have to pay the price!"

Qiao Chusheng had no choice but to say to Yan Jin, "I'm just apologizing to Uncle Xuan. Please listen to me."

Yan Jin stared at him for a while before letting go of his hand.

"Host, what are you doing?"

"Wait, I'll stop him with the knife!"

Qiao Chusheng continued to loosen his tie, unbutton his clothes, and then took out a knife.

Just as he was about to stab his chest, his hand was grabbed again, and Yan Jin snatched the knife from him.

Holding a knife in her hand, she said, "I already listened to you and let you go."

Before Qiao Chusheng could speak, Yan Jin gave him no chance to react and threw the knife away.

Before anyone could react, the knife flew past Hu Zhuxuan's cheek, through the vase behind him, and finally embedded itself in the wall.

The vase shattered instantly, and flying shards cut the cheek of a nearby guard.

The guards touched the blood on their faces, fear flashing in their eyes.

They hesitated for a second, then rushed over and surrounded the two.

Hu Zhuxuan's heart skipped a beat just now, but he maintained his composure and asked calmly, "Who is this young lady to Detective Qiao? What did she mean just now?"

Seeing that he couldn't stop her, Qiao Chusheng smiled and said, "She's my bodyguard. She's just a straightforward person and didn't mean anything by it."

"Can we go now?" Yan Jin asked directly.

Although Hu Zhuxuan was somewhat surprised by her martial arts skills, he still retorted, "Do you think you can just let this go?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards approached them.

Yan Jin lost her patience and grabbed a guard by the collar, lifting him up.

He struggled fiercely, but found he couldn't break free: "Let me go!"

When the other three tried to help, Qiao Chusheng stopped them and started fighting.

Yan Jin ignored the person in her hand and threw him to Hu Zhuxuan's feet.

"Ah!" The guard cried out in pain as he was thrown to the ground.

Hu Zhuxuan gripped the armrest of the stool tightly, staring sharply at Yan Jin.

"Detective Joe, are you sure you want your bodyguards to take action and ruin our relationship?"

Qiao Chusheng thought to himself, "Since we've already taken action, there's no point in saying anything more."

"Uncle Xuan, we had no choice, you wouldn't let us leave!" Qiao Chusheng said with a smile.

Yan Jin went to help him, and threw the other three people to the ground as well, slamming them together.

Qiao Chusheng walked over and took her hand: "Are you alright?"

Guards: ...It's us who's in trouble!

Yan Jin shook her head: "Let's go!"

Qiao Chusheng glanced at Hu Zhuxuan: "Uncle Xuan, we'll be leaving now!"

Watching their retreating figures, Hu Zhuxuan, unable to contain his anger, pulled out a pistol and fired at the two men.

"Host, be careful!"

Just as Xiao Qi reminded her, Yan Jin pushed Qiao Chusheng away, turned around and caught the bullet, holding it between her fingers.

Everyone else stared at her in disbelief, as if she were a monster.

Is this even a normal person? Catching a bullet with bare hands.

Yan Jin held the bullet between her fingers and flung it at Hu Zhuxuan.

"Quickly, protect Master Hu!" The guards rushed over despite their pain, but it was too late.

Hu Zhuxuan watched as the bullet hurtled toward him, his pupils contracting rapidly.

Finally, the bullet grazed his hair near his ear and pierced the wall behind him.

"Uncle Xuan, can we go now?" Qiao Chusheng asked.

Hu Zhuxuan quietly loosened his grip on her hand: "Today we've officially become enemies. I hope Detective Qiao's bodyguards will continue to protect you."

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Xuan. Let's go." After saying that, Qiao Chusheng took Yan Jin's hand and walked out.

Watching their figures disappear into the distance, the guards approached and asked, "Master Hu, do you know who that woman came from?"

Hu Zhuxuan thought for a moment and said, "Go and find out when Qiao Si got such a skilled person by his side."

"Ok!"

Qiao Chusheng and Yan Jin returned to the car, and he said, "By exposing yourself like this, you'll attract attention from now on."

Yan Jin looked straight ahead and said calmly, "Well, so what!"
