Chapter 392: Defending against the Enemy
Peng Zili recovered well, and the plaster on his hand has been removed. The doctor predicts that he will be able to walk in two or three months. Compared with Lao Jiang, who has natural racial talents, he is more qualified to be a medical miracle. The reason why he has not returned to Yunnan is that the Bian brothers were arrested here, and some interrogation work was handled by Peng Zili. The Public Security Bureau rented him a two-bedroom elevator apartment for a long time. At first, there was a police officer to accompany him, but Peng Zili was so strong that he didn't want to cause trouble for the bureau. He only asked the car to pick him up when he went to the bureau, and a housekeeper would come to his house regularly for meals.
After dinner in the evening, Peng Zili was alone at home reading the interrogation records of the Bian brothers when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. From the sound, he could tell that the person was not friendly.
Peng Zili didn't think much about it. He opened the door and saw a fat boy of eight or nine years old standing at the door, glaring at him fiercely.
"Is it Halloween today?" Peng Zili thought it was a prank by the neighbor's kids.
The fat guy walked into the room, turned around and stared at him and asked, "Are you Peng Zili?"
"It's me..."
The little fat man said, "Then you have found the right person. My name is Jia Xiaolong, and Jia Ba is my father."
Peng Zili was a little surprised. First of all, he didn't expect that Jia Ba had a son. What surprised him most was that such a young child actually came to him on his own.
Jia Xiaolong asked: "Did you kill my father?"
Peng Zili closed the door, looked back into Jia Xiaolong's eyes and said, "That's right."
Jia Xiaolong clenched his fists tightly, and despite his young age, his eyes were like a wild beast.
Peng Zili said sternly: "Your father is a drug dealer, I am a policeman, it is only natural for me to kill him. He has 11 lives on his hands, including innocent people and my comrades."
Jia Xiaolong bared his teeth and said, "Then he is also my dad!"
Peng Zili said: "That's right, so what do you want to do? Are you going to avenge your father?"
Jia Xiaolong clenched his fists even tighter. During this period, Li Changgui told Jia Xiaolong about the grievances between Jia Ba and them, but he concealed the matter of Peng Zili. Jia Xiaolong saw Peng Zili's name on the Internet and in newspapers. He appeared with his father. One was a hero praised by everyone, and the other was a notorious drug lord. So he came to the door for some unknown reason. No one would be on guard against an eight or nine-year-old child, not to mention that everyone nearby knew that there was a policeman in a wheelchair who was the hero in the report. During the day, Jia Xiaolong chose to fool the two people who came to test Ah Si's background because he had realized the weight of the word clan member from Li Changgui's words and deeds, and because he knew that Peng Zili was the direct enemy who killed his father.
But facing Peng Zili 's questioning, he suddenly became confused. He didn't think about what to do after Peng Zili admitted it...
At this moment, the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness and the whole building lost power.
Peng Zili glanced across the street. The lights in the building next to the small school were still on. With the police's natural sense of danger, he immediately became alert and asked, "Did you bring an accomplice with you?"
Jia Xiaolong flatly denied it: "No!"
"It seems I've been overthinking it." Before he finished speaking, the cell phone on the table suddenly lit up and rang loudly.
Peng Zili said: "No matter what you are here for, help me get my phone first."
Jia Xiaolong picked up the phone and threw it to Peng Zili. The lit screen drew a bright line in the darkness. Peng Zili caught it swiftly. Just as he pressed the answer button, he heard Xiaoqin's anxious voice: "Asi sent a message that 'Xiao Ge's' people might want to attack you - you are in danger!" It turned out that Xiaoqin finally overcame the trouble of "too many factors" and thought that "my dad" who had "inconvenient legs and feet" was referring to Peng Zili, so she quickly called to inform him.
Peng Zili's nerves tensed, but he still said calmly: "I know."
"I'm heading over to you now, go out to where there are a lot of people!"
Peng Zili smiled and said, "Xiaoqin."
"ah?"
"Nothing, come on, I'll be waiting for you in the house, be careful!"
Xiaoqin immediately realized something was wrong and asked in surprise, "They're here already?"
"I can handle it for a while."
After hanging up the phone, Peng Zili said to the small dark figure in the room, "Jia Xiaolong, right? My enemy is here to find me. If you go out now, just act as if nothing happened. No one will take a child seriously."
Jia Xiaolong stood still.
Peng Zili said: "It will be too late if we don't leave now."
Jia Xiaolong suddenly rushed over, pushed the wheelchair and said, "I can't let you die in the hands of others. Tell me, how can I save your life?"
"Hey, you're still a kid."
"Stop talking nonsense. What's your plan? Don't tell me you're just pretending to be calm and all you want to do next is wait to die."
Peng Zili was speechless for a moment, then immediately said, "Help me down."
Jia Xiaolong walked around to the front of him, put his hands under his ribs and lifted Peng Zili off the wheelchair. He was very strong, but he was too short, so Peng Zili was basically dragged on the ground.
"Push the wheelchair in front of the table and put a few pillows on it."
Jia Xiaolong did as he was told. Peng Zili moved to the door and said, "Give me the dumbbells in that room."
Jia Xiaolong went back and forth between the rooms and quickly put everything in place.
Peng Zili found that he could move freely in the dark and couldn't help asking, "Can you still see?"
Jia Xiaolong said: "One of my eyes is a night eye, and the other one can see more clearly than you at night."
Peng Zili was speechless again, and then asked: "Do you know Zhang Xiaoliang?"
"I always see you, what's wrong?"
Peng Zili said: "If you are as smart as him, we can have some fun if we work together." Ah Si later told Peng Zili about Zhang Xiaoliang's brave fight against the kidnappers, and he was deeply impressed.
Jia Xiaolong said: "If I were his age, three or five ordinary people wouldn't need you at all."
The two of them chatted about random things. In fact, given their relationship, there was no need to talk so much, but with a powerful enemy at hand, it seemed that chatting could ease the tense atmosphere.
Peng Zili said: "They probably have guns."
Jia Xiaolong was stunned: "Fuck, why didn't you say so earlier!"
"They are drug dealers, is that even a question?"
Seeing Peng Zili sitting cross-legged at the door with dumbbells in his hands, Jia Xiaolong immediately understood what he meant: the first person who rushed in would be attracted by the pillow on the wheelchair, and Peng Zili planned to take the opportunity to knock him down with the dumbbells. Whether he could completely subdue the other person depended on his luck, and...
"Even if you can defeat the first one, the people behind you will shoot you to death. They will never send only one person to kill you." Jia Xiaolong's analysis was very thorough.
"So you still have time to leave now."
Jia Xiaolong rushed over and dragged Peng Zili to the kitchen door opposite.
"I said I would save your life, so I must keep my word." Jia Xiaolong stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the dumbbell."
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm as strong as you are, and in your situation you can only hit his feet, but I can hit his stomach."
Peng Zili said, "Nonsense, how could I let a child take the bullet for me?"
"That's bullshit. The fact that they don't know I'm here is our only chance of winning. After I knock down the first one, you shout a few times to help me attract bullets, and then I'll knock down the second one. I hope there are only two of them."
Peng Zili held the dumbbell tightly and refused to let go: "You are dreaming! If two people rush in together, they will be beaten into a sieve before you can even make a move."
"So you knew that too." Jia Xiaolong paused, and suddenly understood why Peng Zili stayed at the door even though he knew there was danger - he hoped that the killer would leave after he died in order to save his life.
Jia Xiaolong said disdainfully, "I thought you were so awesome, but it turns out you can only fight with others." He took the opportunity when Peng Zili snatched the dumbbell and walked straight to the wall and said, "I won't show up. If someone comes in, I will throw this thing out and hit him on the head."
Peng Zili asked, "Can you throw it accurately?"
"More accurate than you."
At this time, footsteps were approaching, and the two people shut their mouths tacitly.
In the darkness, Peng Zili heard the child by the wall panting heavily and said in a deep voice, "Don't panic!"
Jia Xiaolong said proudly: "I am a golden guard of the Qiangren tribe, how could I panic?"
"Then why are you panting?"
"If you don't breathe, you're dead!" Jia Xiaolong said in a low voice, "I'm a little... a little nervous."
