Chapter 22: He's Possessed by an Evil Spirit, I'm Performing a Physical Exorcism
Li Xuan rushed in right after, grabbed Louise's arm, pulled her behind him, and forced a friendly smile onto his face.
"Brothers, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. This is the child's mother. We're not here to cause trouble; we're here to find our child."
The bald man sized him up and down: "Who the hell are you?"
"Who I am is not important; what matters is that this lady asked me to pick up her child and take her home."
"A thousand yuan as a favor, we'll take the child, and that'll be the end of it. Nobody loses out. Is that alright?"
The workshop was quiet for a few seconds.
The bald man thought for a moment, then glanced at Li Xuan's attire, and a slow grin spread across his face: "Interesting. Okay, I'll give you face, but it'll cost you ten thousand. Once you pay, you can leave."
Louise was so eager to save him that she didn't haggle and immediately took out her phone to transfer $10,000.
The bald man grinned as he looked at the notification on his phone that the money had arrived, then waved to his henchmen behind him and said, "Let that little girl go."
The nylon rope was untied.
Alice stumbled and fell into Louise's arms.
Louise knelt on the ground and hugged her daughter tightly, her whole body trembling, repeatedly saying, "Mommy's here, Mommy's here."
She checked her daughter's face, arms, and legs, and her fingers suddenly stopped when she touched her clothes. The little girl's underwear was gone.
Louise's expression shifted in a few seconds from ecstasy to confusion, from confusion to fear, and finally settled on a fury that Li Xuan had never seen before.
She yanked up her daughter's skirt to check, then suddenly stood up, her eyes bloodshot.
"You bunch of beasts!"
Her voice was shrill and split, and her entire face was contorted with rage.
"She's only seven years old! How could you do this to a seven-year-old? You bunch of sons of bitches, why don't you just die!"
The four thugs' expressions changed simultaneously, and the one in front grabbed a beer bottle from the table, ready to smash it over.
The bald man raised his hand to stop him, then turned to look at Li Xuan, the smile on his face completely gone.
"Dude, I've already given you face, but your client has a really foul mouth."
Clearly, they could make a move at any time.
Li Xuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He also wanted to kill these beasts, but he knew he couldn't.
Those damn blacks, they fucking deserve to die!
He frantically suppressed his anger, trying to calm down.
When he opened his eyes again, he took out a talisman from his pocket and held it in his hand.
Li Xuan's voice was calm as he said indifferently, "You've taken the money, the child is ours, and I won't hold your men's attempt to attack us will be tolerated. My only request is—now, immediately, let us leave."
The bald man glanced at the talisman, then at the peach wood sword on Li Xuan's back, a deeper meaning creeping into his eyes.
He was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed.
"I remember now, I heard that an Eastern priest recently appeared in Chinatown, specializing in dealing with all sorts of shady characters. Is that you?"
"It's me," Li Xuan replied.
The bald man nodded and accepted the money and the talisman together.
He dismissed his men and voluntarily made way for them.
Li Xuan put his arm around Louise's shoulder and pushed her away.
Louise held her daughter, feeling completely drained, and walked mechanically.
Alice buried her face in her neck and didn't make a sound the whole time.
As they reached the door, the bald man called out from behind, "Eastern wizard, what exactly is that talisman?"
Li Xuan didn't even turn his head: "Something that can kill you."
"You fucking want to die!"
"Holy crap, even Jesus couldn't stop you!"
Upon hearing this, the henchmen flew into a rage and picked up the beer bottles they had just put down.
The bald man's face darkened, and he quickly stopped his enraged henchman, whispering, "Let them go!"
He has always been very averse to these things.
After the two walked out the door, he helped Louise, whose legs were already weak, and comforted her, "Don't worry, they won't escape either."
No sooner had he finished speaking than police sirens blared outside.
The loudspeaker blared Sheriff Walker's voice: "LAPD! Everyone drop your weapons, put your hands behind your heads, and come out!"
A dozen fully armed police officers filed out from behind the police car, their submachine guns, bulletproof vests, and tactical helmets forming a line that completely surrounded the yard.
The bald men inside immediately changed their expressions, quickly pulled out their pistols, and ran towards the back door.
To their surprise, several fully armed police officers were already standing at the back door, each holding a submachine gun and pointing it at them.
"Put down your weapons!"
This startled the bald man and his henchmen, who immediately dropped their weapons, covered their heads with their hands, and crouched down.
If they still have a fighting chance, they will not hesitate to fire.
But the scene before them made them unable to muster any will to resist.
Nobody wants to be riddled with bullets.
Just as the officers went up to lock them up, Li Xuan, who had returned with Sheriff Walker through the front door, didn't hesitate to draw his gun and fire a shot into the center of the bald man's head.
boom!
A loud bang was heard, and the bald man fell to the ground with a bloody hole in the middle of his head. His eyes were wide open, and he didn't know how he died until the very end.
"Don't shoot!! Let us go!!!"
"I didn't do anything!"
"Waaah... Mom..."
The black thugs were so scared they almost wet themselves, collapsing to the ground, clutching their heads and screaming.
Swish!
The police pointed their guns at Li Xuan, waiting for the order to fire.
"stop!"
Sheriff Walker shouted, and only then did the men lower their guns.
He looked at Li Xuan, frowning, and said, "What are you doing, Li!"
"I'm exorcising evil spirits," Li Xuan said calmly, then added, "Physical exorcism is still exorcism."
"Is he possessed?" Walker was taken aback upon hearing this.
"Isn't raping a young girl considered possession?" Li Xuanqiang asked, suppressing his anger.
Walker flew into a rage upon hearing this, recalling the numbness of the mother and daughter he had seen at the door. He kicked the bald man twice in anger and said, "You're right, he's possessed! I'll write a report for you when we get back!"
"Did you all hear that? He's possessed! Consultant Li is just doing his job!"
"Yes, sir!"
The crowd responded and handcuffed the black thugs.
They really didn't do that. Li Xuan could smell that there was no trace of their scent on the little girl.
Therefore, Li Xuan let them go.
But they will also face legal sanctions.
"Hey, Father Lee, well done! You're so cool! But you still did something a little wrong; you should have just emptied the magazines when dealing with these damn blacks!"
Officer Raine patted Li Xuan on the shoulder with a smile, showing considerable appreciation.
This is why the other party did not resist; if they had fired, he would have opened fire indiscriminately on the black men without hesitation.
If he can't even finish a magazine, then he's considered slow!
