Sending the Groom to Jail on My Ex-Girlfriend's Wedding

Chapter 35: The Hostage Was Captured!_1

It was obvious that this criminal had already regarded him as an imaginary enemy.

This discovery left Su Xuan both relieved and tense.

With so many people in the coffee shop, taking down the criminal directly was out of the question. As he continued talking to the two girls, he noticed the criminal becoming increasingly agitated.

Su Xuan guessed it might be because the criminal had killed too many people and was struggling to control his violent impulses.

Moreover, one of the two girls beside him might be the criminal's next target.

Seeing her talking to someone else, someone he considered his possession, was likely causing him distress.

Su Xuan's heart sank.

At this rate, waiting for backup from the police station wouldn't be an option.

Within the next few minutes, the criminal might make his move.

By then, Su Xuan wouldn't have the time to react!

However, since the criminal was so formidable, Su Xuan couldn't be sure if he could defeat him. He also had to ensure that the criminal wouldn't become desperate and harm other customers in the coffee shop.

In the blink of an eye, Su Xuan made a decision!

"What's the point of drinking coffee? I know a really delicious stir-fry restaurant. How about I treat you both to a meal?"

Su Xuan said to the two girls in front of him.

The two girls looked up in surprise at his invitation. "You want to treat us to a meal?"

"Yeah, I was waiting for my roommate here, but it looks like he stood me up."

"Damn it, I won't believe that guy again."

Su Xuan cursed his nonexistent roommate and extended the invitation again. "Do you want to go eat?"

Upon hearing this, the two girls exchanged glances.

Though Su Xuan's sudden invitation left them a bit puzzled, they wouldn't refuse when a handsome guy like him wanted to treat them.

"Sure, let's go to the stir-fry restaurant you mentioned."

"We were actually just discussing where to eat."

"We didn't expect you to invite us for a meal..."

"We were having such a nice chat, so why not continue it at a different place?"

Su Xuan smiled, though he was feeling quite anxious inside.

He hadn't anticipated that his invitation to treat them would be accepted so quickly. He felt more apologetic towards the two girls.

Soon, Su Xuan and the two girls left the coffee shop.

Su Xuan didn't turn around to check if the person was following them. Instead, he activated his Radar and found a red dot on it. Ever since they exited the coffee shop, this red dot had been maintaining a distance of seven to eight meters behind them.

Seeing the red dot, Su Xuan felt relieved.

He then checked the direction and led them towards a small garden. "Let's go through here. Once we cross this, the restaurant I mentioned is just a street away."

Su Xuan's voice wasn't intentionally lowered or raised, but it was enough to ensure that the criminal behind them could hear.

The criminal had been trailing them from a distance, and upon hearing Su Xuan's words, he quickened his pace in anger. The previous seven to eight meters between them were now reduced to five or six.

Moreover, it was midday, and the small garden was devoid of any people. Driven by his surging anger, the criminal had even developed a murderous intent towards Su Xuan.

Although Su Xuan couldn't sense the killing intent, he could see the small red dot getting closer and faster. He had a rough idea of what was happening.

Quickly, he gradually increased the distance between himself and the two girls, deliberately slowing his pace in an area out of view of the cameras.

When the criminal was less than half a meter away, a steel hammer suddenly appeared in Su Xuan's hand. Swiftly turning around, he swung the hammer forcefully, striking the criminal's temple...

Bang!

Crack!

Seeing Su Xuan's movements slow down, the man felt something was off. Just as he began to react, a shadow suddenly shifted in front of him.

In an instant, his temple throbbed with pain, his strength drained from his body as if sucked out, and darkness clouded his vision. He dropped to his knees.

Su Xuan quickly took a step back, addressing the two startled girls due to his actions. "I'm sorry. This person was staring at you both while we were at the coffee shop. Do either of you know him?"

Upon hearing this, the two girls glanced at the man on the ground who was holding his temple. One of them suddenly exclaimed in shock, "Teacher Zhou?"

"Teacher Zhou?"

Su Xuan furrowed his brows and repeated, "Teacher Zhou?" The girl with long hair in front of him looked at the criminal with uncertainty. She spoke, "Teacher Zhou, he's a coach I met at the gym, also my fitness instructor."

"I didn't expect to encounter him here. You must have misunderstood. Teacher Zhou probably just saw me and wanted to greet me..."

As she spoke, the girl with long hair ignored Su Xuan's attempt to stop her and reached out to help the man up.

Seeing the sudden change in the man's eyes, Su Xuan took a step forward and grabbed the girl's hand, pulling her back. "Be careful!"

Just as Su Xuan pulled her back, the man sprung up from the ground, lunging abruptly towards the other girl.

"Ah!"

The latter screamed, but it was too late. The man had already seized her in his grip. "Don't move!"

His face darkened, and he fixed a stern gaze on Su Xuan. When Su Xuan had acted against him, he had already sensed something was amiss.

Setting aside why Su Xuan had suddenly attacked him, the fact that Su Xuan pulled the girl away while he was reaching for her was enough to raise suspicion.

What else could this mean if not a problem?

A cold and mocking expression played on the man's face. "You've got guts, kid, daring to lay hands on me."

"Do you know who I am?"

The girl held by the man trembled anxiously. Her gaze swept over Su Xuan before she turned to the man. "Teacher Zhou, what are you doing?"

"Let go of me quickly. This joke isn't funny at all..."

Teacher Zhou sneered and cast a disdainful glance at the woman in his arms. The woman he had intended to catch was now out of his grasp, which only fueled his growing fury. "Shut your mouth, you damn bitch!"

"Damn it! You women are always lusting after men. Can't live without a man, can you?"

"At the gym, I had already noticed you two. You're dressed like fairies every day, and instead of working out properly, you're just ogling men."

"One look, and I knew you were sluts. Begging for a man's touch! Since that's the case, I'll fulfill your wish today!"

As he spoke, he shot a glance at Su Xuan and, brimming with arrogance, he attempted to drag the woman he had in his grip toward the woods.
