Jiang Ting asked softly, "Your colleagues?"

Yan Xie: "No, they're not the voices of my team!"

Bang!

This sudden change of situation caught them by surprise. Someone pounded hard on the door, and due to the shoddy construction of the building, dust fell all around them.

"You leave first!" Yan Xie decisively grabbed the edge of the window and yanked on it, removing the ventilation grille. "Hurry up, I'll stall them!"

Jiang Ting was unable to climb up to the window, so he was lifted up by Yan Xie. But right at that moment, the door behind them-

Bang!!

With another loud crash, the door to the washroom had been kicked open by the police!

"Don't move! We're checking for illegal sexual activity!"

"Put your hands up!"

"What are you doing?! What are you doing?!" Yan Xie asked harshly. "What kind of police are you? Where's your uniform? Where are your badges? You think just because you call yourself policemen, we should believe you? I'm going to call 1-1-0..."

Before he could finish speaking, a man rushed over and blocked Yan Xie's path with a baton, while shouting to his colleagues. "Squad Leader, I need backup over here! Someone has escaped through the window!"

With nowhere to go, Yan Xie came to a difficult decision. Blocking the baton with his arm, he gave a kick, causing this impetuous little policeman to fly out through the door!

Whoosh-

The policeman fell onto the ground, crashing into various pieces of furniture, causing a loud clatter of sounds.

In that moment, countless thoughts ran through Yan Xie's head. The discipline of the police-force: The Eight Honours and Disgraces, The Three Rules of Discipline and Eight Points for Attention, Marxism, Deng Xiaoping's Theory, The 12 Core Socialist Values.. numerous thoughts flashed by, none of them in detail. Finally, they all turned into an inexhaustible feeling of hopelessness and desolation.

I'm done, he thought.

Assistant Chief Wei will definitely strangle me to death with handcuffs, chop up my body, then bury me within the cement walls of his office. I estimate it will take many years before anyone renovating the building of the city bureau discovers my corpse which was unjustly murdered.

Yan Xie rushed out of the washroom and two policemen lunged for him, roaring with anger. However, how could he possibly be caught by these people working in a police station? Protecting his head with his arm, he endured a blow from the baton, and after a tumble he gave a spinning kick, sweeping down the older man on the left. Without even needing to catch his breath, Yan Xie yanked the baton from the young officer on the right, wrapping an arm around his neck and when the policeman lost his balance, and tossed him down hard.

The young policeman howled, crashing onto the couch, and the contents of his stomach nearly sprayed out from his throat.

"Fucking hell, stop!"
