The Supreme Young Master

Chapter 2:

“Nobody move, or I’ll kill her!”

The scar-faced man shoved Qin Fei aside and pulled out a gun, pressing it against the head of a girl in a black skirt.

The chaotic hall fell into complete silence, and the police stopped pursuing Qin Fei. It was now clear that the scar-faced man was indeed the murderer.

The victim’s family clenched their fists, their faces filled with fury. They hadn’t expected the killer to be so audacious as to return to the scene of the crime.

Yang Ruoxi was momentarily stunned, unable to believe how the situation had escalated. 

She cast a sideways glare at Qin Fei, her anger palpable. 

If it weren’t for his foolish antics, the murderer wouldn’t have been cornered into such desperate action.

If the killer managed to escape today, Yang Ruoxi knew her career as the Criminal Investigation Captain would be over. 

She had made a personal pledge to the director regarding this case.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. If looks could kill, Qin Fei would already be dead. How could she have ended up with such an idiotic husband?

Qin Fei, sensing her murderous glare, shrank his neck and stammered, “I-I told you he was the k-killer! You just wouldn’t believe me!”

“Shut up!”

Yang Ruoxi’s nose flared with anger. Others might not know Qin Fei well, but she did. A man who couldn’t even figure out basic math solving a case? Impossible.

Still, this wasn’t the time to settle scores with him. Catching the murderer was the top priority.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Ruoxi forced herself to stay calm. She fixed her gaze on the scar-faced man and spoke with authority, “Stop resisting. Put down the gun!”

“Dream on! Get me a car right now!” The scar-faced man shouted, his finger hovering dangerously over the trigger.

“Ah!”

The girl being held hostage trembled, her face pale with fear.

“Fine, you want a car? I’ll get it,” Yang Ruoxi said after a brief pause, her eyes flashing with a plan. If she could get in the same car as the murderer, there might be a chance to apprehend him.

But the scar-faced man wasn’t fooled. His eyes landed on Qin Fei instead. “You know how to drive, right?”

“He can’t drive!” Yang Ruoxi interrupted before Qin Fei could answer. In her mind, Qin Fei was a complete fool. If he got in the car, the killer would effectively have two hostages.

“You don’t get to decide. He speaks for himself!” The scar-faced man shot a sharp look at Qin Fei.

“Of course I can drive!” Qin Fei nodded enthusiastically, even patting his chest for assurance. “Don’t worry. I’m fast and steady. I’ll definitely lose them!”

Yang Ruoxi felt a surge of frustration that almost made her vomit blood. This idiot had no idea what he was doing. Not only was he being useless, but now he was actively helping the killer escape!

Qin Fei, you’re beyond saving! Yang Ruoxi thought despairingly, already envisioning the day she’d have to take off her uniform in disgrace.

The scar-faced man smirked. This fool was actually obedient. “Fine, it’s you. Bring the car in!”

“Got it!” Qin Fei walked up to Yang Ruoxi and stretched out his hand. “Keys, please!”

“Are you insane? He’s a murderer! Do you have a death wish?” Yang Ruoxi scolded him. As much as she disliked Qin Fei, they had lived together for nearly twenty years. If he foolishly threw his life away now, she would feel guilty.

“Captain Yang, just give him the keys. We can guarantee his safety,” said Deputy Captain Zhou Kai, eager to send Qin Fei to drive.

Zhou Kai knew Qin Fei was unreliable and likely didn’t know how to drive at all. If he crashed into the scar-faced man, it would be a win-win for Zhou Kai, giving him a chance to pursue Yang Ruoxi.

“Hurry up!” The scar-faced man’s impatience grew, and the sound of the gun’s trigger mechanism clicking sent chills down everyone’s spine.

“Don’t kill me!” The hostage girl flinched, tears brimming in her eyes.

Yang Ruoxi frowned, realizing the scar-faced man might shoot at any moment. Gritting her teeth, she reluctantly handed the keys to Qin Fei.

Qin Fei took the keys and limped out, hopping into the Jeep. 

With a quick turn of the steering wheel and a step on the gas, he drove the vehicle into the courtyard.

“Boss… the car’s here!” Qin Fei opened the car door and smiled at the scar-faced man.

“Move! Get in!” The scar-faced man shoved the girl forward as they left the hall.

Seeing Qin Fei obediently bring the car over, the hostage girl trembled with rage and, in a tearful voice, yelled, “Are you out of your mind? What kind of lackey are you? He tells you to drive, and you actually do it? Why don’t you just eat crap while you’re at it?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll protect you,” Qin Fei said nonchalantly.

Yang Ruoxi followed them out, feeling a pang of guilt as the girl scolded Qin Fei. Even though she despised him, the mess he’d created today was undeniable. Worse still, with two hostages now in the hands of the murderer, the situation had become even more dire.

“What protection? Why don’t you be the hostage? If I die, it’s all your fault!” The girl glared at Yang Ruoxi, her emotions spiraling out of control.

“Shut up, or I’ll kill you right now!” The scar-faced man barked, shoving the girl into the car before slamming the door.

The police officers rushed out of the hall, guns drawn, but without Yang Ruoxi’s command, they dared not act recklessly. With two hostages in the car, any mistake could prove disastrous.

The scar-faced man glanced at the police through the car window, sneering. Then he turned to Qin Fei. “Can you really shake them off?”

“Piece of cake!” Qin Fei grinned.

“Good. Head for the outskirts. I’ll give you 10,000 yuan when we’re done,” the scar-faced man said.

“Got it, boss! Hold on tight!” Qin Fei hit the gas, and the Jeep roared to life, leaving a trail of black smoke as it sped away.

“That idiot!” Yang Ruoxi stomped her foot angrily and yelled, “What are you all standing around for? Get in the cars and chase them!”

The police snapped out of their shock and jumped into their vehicles, following Qin Fei’s Jeep under Yang Ruoxi’s lead.

Inside the Jeep, the hostage girl glared at Qin Fei’s back, her eyes brimming with tears. If not for the gun to her head, she would’ve lunged at him to bite him out of sheer frustration.

This was infuriating. 

Anyone else in his position would’ve cooperated with the police to capture the killer. But this man? For the sake of 10,000 yuan, he had thrown his morals away and was helping a murderer escape.

And what’s more, he was still wearing a hospital gown. He probably escaped from a mental hospital!

The girl kicked the back of the seat to vent her anger.

Qin Fei, on the other hand, seemed entirely unaffected. He turned on the radio and began humming along to the music, as if he were on a leisurely drive with his girlfriend.

“Idiot, moron, big fool!” The girl muttered curses under her breath.

Half an hour later, Qin Fei had driven out of the city. 

Yang Ruoxi and her police cars were nowhere in sight, clearly left far behind.

“Boss, we’re at the outskirts. How do you want to pay 10,000 yuan—cash or transfer?” Qin Fei turned his head and asked.

“Cash, but I don’t have it on me. Come with me to get it,” the scar-faced man replied.

“Sure, I’ll follow you,” Qin Fei said with a grin.

The scar-faced man smirked mockingly. He had been on the run for years but had never met anyone this foolish. Once they got to his destination, he planned to sell Qin Fei off and make even more money.

After getting out of the car, the scar-faced man pushed the girl toward a mountain path. Qin Fei followed behind, his goofy demeanor infuriating the girl even more.

“Idiot! Lackey! Big fool!” she cursed under her breath.

Qin Fei finally couldn’t hold back and said, “Miss, you’re not exactly a genius yourself.”

“I’m smarter than you! I, Zhao Muxin, have never met anyone as dumb as you in my twenty years of life!” she snapped, her rage intensifying.

“Not necessarily. If you’re so smart, how did you end up here?” Qin Fei retorted.

“Because of you!” Zhao Muxin glared at him, her eyes full of murderous intent.

“Enough! Both of you, shut up!” The scar-faced man growled and shoved Zhao Muxin into a cave ahead.
