The situation was quickly brought under control.
The special police seemed to know BDD's methods all too well; all their tactics were rendered useless before them. They even accurately predicted when BDD planned to retreat.
It was like catching a turtle in a jar.
What is unstoppable, what is like divine assistance? Chen Guochao thought silently, this is it!
He made a gesture to the old man from a distance.
Chen Long couldn't be bothered to look at him. He was busy leading people to Huo Rou's car, and the special police, under his command, were protecting the vehicle with great coordination.
"Xiao You, are you alright?" Although Chen Long's eyes never left Huo Rou, he couldn't resist tapping on the car window to ask as he approached the door.
This girl, though obediently getting into the car to hide, he had seen the smoke occasionally puffing out from the gap in the car window.
Chen Long, while helpless, could only nod with relief. Xiao You's marksmanship had not deteriorated at all.
The wind outside was strong, and his graying hair danced in it. The surrounding sounds gradually died down, leaving only the captured BDD members struggling for breath.
Huo Rou pushed open the door and walked towards Chen Long, giving him a gentle hug. "I'm fine, Uncle Chen."
He knew long ago that she was not like a dodder flower.
"Good child! Still as brave as ever!" Chen Long beamed, looking at Huo Rou with immense pride and satisfaction.
Outside the car was a peaceful scene of family reunion. Inside the car, Qin Ningyi moved his wrist, his gaze slowly shifting away from the rough hands on Huo Rou's shoulder.
A muffled cough was heard, and Huo Rou turned back nervously.
Qin Ningyi must have aggravated his wound to cover for her earlier.
"How are you? I told you not to move recklessly!"
Chen Long heard her chiding tone and seemed to recall something, his smile widening. "Is he Xiao You's boyfriend?"
He knew Huo Rou's changes best, but her tone just now was almost like when she was a child.
Someone who reverts to their childlike innocence must be enveloped in love.
He subtly shifted his position while Huo Rou was turning, standing a little straighter, and subtly smoothed his clothes with his hands.
He looked every bit the father-in-law meeting his son-in-law.
Chen Guochao watched his father's small movements from afar and couldn't help but worry. If his father knew that the man in the car was from the Qin family, after waiting for so many years for something, he wondered what his reaction would be.
Thinking of this, Chen Guochao slowly moved a few steps closer. If his father had a fit of anger, he could rush over to support him in time.
"Yes," Huo Rou said, looking into Qin Ningyi's dark eyes, and nodded instinctively.
Seeing her nod, Chen Long's tone became even more enthusiastic. "Are you injured? I brought some medicine. Quick, I'll have Xiao You come over to treat him."
"Thank you very much," Qin Ningyi replied in a low voice. "Uncle Chen."
"Not at all, young man, what's your name..." Chen Long's greeting trailed off as Huo Rou moved aside, and he saw Qin Ningyi's face.
Although a little different from when he was younger, he recognized him at a glance – it was that exceptionally intelligent young boy from the Qin family in the compound!
He was barely a match for Xiao You, but he – his surname was Qin!
With just that surname, no matter how good he was, it wouldn't do!
Huo Rou heard Chen Long's abrupt silence and looked at him with some confusion. Chen Long paused for a moment, looking at Huo Rou as if wanting to say something but hesitating, and finally said nothing more.
They escorted Huo Rou and the others to the Capital Hospital. After getting out of the car, Chen Long asked Huo Rou to go in first, and he pulled Qin Ningyi aside, falling a few steps behind under the pretense of helping him.
"Uncle Chen, what do you want to tell me?"
From the moment Chen Long first saw him, Qin Ningyi knew that Chen Long had something to say to him alone.
Chen Long looked at the calm, collected, and sharp-featured young man before him and sighed slightly. "Xiao Qin, you and Xiao Chao grew up together, so I won't beat around the bush with you."
"I hope you stay away from Xiao You."
Qin Ningyi frowned, about to speak, when Chen Long continued, "It's for her own good."
Some time bombs might seem beautiful now, but he didn't want Huo Rou's life to be a buried mine. The moment it exploded, she would be hurt.
