Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Come out and clean up!

Li Ang couldn’t help but feel a bit sentimental himself, those moves were truly cool!

No wonder everyone loves action movies, what a pity there was not a single spectator around.

He rubbed his aching palms and walked towards the inside of the house.

Before he reached the front door, he could faintly hear the sound of police sirens in the distance.

“Damn, what perfect timing, probably just here to collect the bodies, huh?”

Li Ang muttered under his breath.

But to be honest, it would also be risky if the police arrived too early, just imagine if they mistook him for a suspect and shot him, that’d be hilarious.

Don’t doubt the likelihood of such an incident, they’ve done this sort of thing before.

Moreover, this is the talent-rich state of Florida.

I call the police for help, and they end up shooting me, bystanders might think I hired an assassin.

Li Ang returned to the bedroom from just now, verbally making sure to remind Sheila it was him, so she wouldn’t be scared.

“Don’t worry, it’s me, Li Ang, the bad guy from earlier has been dealt with by me.”

His caution was not unfounded because at that moment, he saw Sheila holding a kitchen knife, standing guard at the spot where he had been earlier.

And Xiao Hei, who was in a deep sleep on the floor, had already been tied up hand and foot by Sheila.

Upon realizing it was Li Ang, Sheila quickly dropped the knife and threw herself into Li Ang’s arms.

There’s a saying that men remain boys until death, but Li Ang felt that every woman also harbors a girl’s heart.

Like Sheila now, who turned into an octopus again.

“It’s okay now, it’s okay, the police have already arrived.”

Li Ang gently patted Sheila’s back while comforting her.

A seventeen-year-old boy consoling a thirty-two-year-old woman, and it felt just like a father comforting his daughter.

“I’m so glad you’re okay, wuu wuu wuu…”

Sheila sobbed quietly in Li Ang’s embrace.

She was truly terrified earlier, and she really wanted Li Ang not to chase after the bad guy, what if something happened?

Despite her fear, she gathered all her courage and first dealt with the lying man on the floor, then grabbed the kitchen knife, prepared for the worst-case scenario.

Sheila had always felt that being alone wasn’t so bad until today’s incident made her realize that sometimes a person really does need someone to rely on.

“Did the black guy get away?”

Sheila unconsciously ignored what Li Ang had just said about dealing with him because, in her mind, Li Ang was the type of well-behaved student who even got bullied at school.

Even his striking performance at the bike race didn’t break the mold of being a student.

She simply couldn’t imagine how Li Ang could have dealt with the tall black man from earlier.

“Um… It’s just like the literal sense of me having dealt with him.”

Li Ang didn’t know how to explain, so he just took Sheila to the back window.

Pointing out the dark lump on the ground to her.

“There, that’s him, sleeping as peacefully as his accomplice.”

“Ah!”

Sheila couldn’t help covering her mouth.

“You’ve really caught me by surprise.”

If the first black man was taken down by Li Ang with the advantage of a sneak attack, then this one was truly inexplicable.

“Alright, the police are on their way; let’s wait for them at the entrance.”

After a moment of thought, Li Ang decided it was more prudent to wait at the main entrance.

That way, they could make it clearer to the police who they were, and provide as much sense of security to the officers as possible.

Due to the proliferation of firearms, American police are almost the most insecure in the world.

Of course, the use of “almost” is because they still couldn’t compare with the more formidable Lao Mo.

Any suspect they face could suddenly pull out a gun and take a couple of shots at them.

Therefore, the practice of clearing the magazine upon meeting, although crude, was also a helpless act of self-preservation.

As a result, Li Ang really dared not let the police search the house—better safe than sorry.

Yet even with Li Ang being this cautious, the three police officers who rushed over loudly demanded that Li Ang put his hands on his head and squat on the ground.

They were so careful because they had to consider the possibility that Li Ang was holding Miss Sheila hostage.

Similarly, seeing that Li Ang was of Asian descent, they relaxed a little.

After all, although Asians have a lower status than Xiao Hei in America, the majority are quite obedient and relatively non-aggressive.

“We’re late, Miss Sheila. Are you alright?”

If going by the average response time, their arrival wasn’t actually late since only about a dozen minutes had passed.

As they spoke, they pointed their guns in Li Ang’s direction and slowly approached.

“Hey! You shouldn’t treat my friend like this; it was he who just saved me, not you bunch of good-for-nothings!”

Sheila’s response was louder than his, even using insulting language.

Even so, the officers always treated Sheila submissively, daring not to rebut her.

“That’s right, actually, I live next door, and I’m also a high school student, at St. Fort High School,” Li Ang explained.

After understanding the situation, the officers finally put down their guns, apologized, and said,

“We’re very sorry, we were overly nervous.”

“It’s alright, I can understand,” he replied.

Sheila had the confidence to be so defiant, but he didn’t, at least not at the moment.

After a brief conversation, the police called an ambulance, which took the two Xiao Hei to the hospital.

“This may take up some of your time, but I must say, we need you to cooperate with our investigation at the station.”

After figuring out the relationship between Li Ang and Sheila, the officer’s tone changed significantly, at least he definitely wouldn’t have spoken so gently just now.

At the station, it was mainly a formality.

After all, the facts of the case were quite clear, and there was surveillance footage as evidence.

The officer wasn’t wrong—their delay was indeed brief before they were sent back.

Li Ang didn’t encounter the rumored complicated procedures at all.

He had a vague feeling that all of this might be thanks to Sheila’s efforts.

Back in Sheila’s yard, just as Li Ang was about to say goodbye and go home to rest, Sheila stopped him.

“Li… can you not leave tonight? I’m still a bit scared,” Sheila said, her voice getting softer towards the end.

What could Li Ang do? When someone asks him like that, he naturally stayed to help to the end.

At night, Li Ang lay on the guest bedroom bed. Just as he turned off the light, suddenly his door was opened, and a figure quietly slipped in.
