Approaching one of the gunmen, Xu Fu began to question him.
The attack method was simple and brutal, but it was very much in line with the requirements of the times.
"No one ordered anything; we just saw you leaving the restaurant alone, so we wanted to rob you..."
Clenching his teeth and enduring the excruciating pain in his chest, the attacker said, sweating profusely.
It was clear that several people were prepared to say this, intending to use it as an excuse to shoot Xu Fu after he was arrested.
However, what they did not expect was that Xu Fu, the target, was more agile than anticipated, and his fists possessed more power than expected.
With just one strike, several of them were caught completely off guard.
Hearing their words, Xu Fu realized that this was a premeditated attack. These people, as gunmen, already knew the answer. They might not even know why they were shooting at Xu Fu, but only did so because they received orders.
With this in mind, Xu Fu refused to do any pointless preparations.
"Please notify the police, I have just been attacked by a criminal."
He turned around and reminded a passerby.
attack?
Upon hearing these words, the pedestrians looked at the unsuspecting people lying on the ground, then at Xu Fu standing behind them, their faces full of confusion.
In the situation before us, it seems that the person on the ground is the one who was attacked.
Chapter 606 Invitation
The West Side of New York.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Xu Fu was escorted by a surge of police officers to an interrogation room at a nearby police station.
"Shut up, you damn scum..."
"Please, please let me out!"
“I am innocent, I did not do it, I am being unfairly accused.”
"I was just talking to my lawyer."
"Wanderers, wanderers, those damned wanderers again! Isn't there anywhere they can all go?"
Even through the wall, Xu Fu could clearly hear what was happening in his jurisdiction.
High crime rates have led to overcrowding in all New York City police departments, forcing officers to deal with a constant stream of crime and large numbers of protesters, especially given previous newspaper reports exposing corruption within the police department.
"Where did this guy come from?"
"I don't know, the statement mentioned an attack..."
Upon entering the interrogation room, one could hear the police officers talking in hushed tones.
Immediately afterwards, a policeman pushed open the door and came in, looking at Xu Fu inside.
"Mr. Xu Fu, sign your name here and you can leave."
"Hand over the statement," the police officer said expressionlessly.
Picking up a pen, Xu Fu wrote down his name and asked casually.
"What about the attackers? Will they go to jail?"
"That's not the question you should ask."
However, the police were surprisingly indifferent.
Looking at the police officer standing in front of him, Xu Fu couldn't help but frown. "As a victim of this incident, don't I have the right to know?"
The policeman's expression was somewhat cold when asked about Xu Fu's question.
"Please trust the police department, Mr. Xu Fu, we will handle everything."
Looking at the impeccable attitude of the police officers standing in front of him, Xu Fu's mind cleared up a bit; it was obvious that they didn't take their case seriously at all.
Seeing this, Xu Fu didn't press the matter further. He handed the signed statement to another person and turned to leave.
"How's it going? Is everything settled?"
"Already done."
Before leaving the police station, a damaged [super hearing] Xu Fu version overheard a conversation with a policeman who asked him for an autograph.
As he left the precinct in western New York, he saw the group of men who had attacked him at the police station leaving the precinct in a very professional manner.
Clearly, they didn't just end up in prison.
Xu Fu did the same even after leaving the police station.
Several young men cast provocative glances at Xu Fu and made a trigger-pulling gesture. Only then did they laugh and get into the car, which was already waiting in front of the police station.
Seeing the arrogance of these people, Xu Fu, who had been standing still, narrowed his eyes slightly and inadvertently glanced at the sidewalk in front of the police station, where he picked up a piece of gravel and started playing with it.
Woosh-
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom
"How is this going!"
A deafening explosion followed.
The police officers ran out of the police station in a panic, having just heard a loud explosion and thinking a bomb had fallen on them.
An accident has occurred!
A few minutes later, the officers confirmed the situation: a car had suddenly lost control on the road and crashed into the police station wall.
"Damn it, how did I end up in front of the police station?"
"Quickly find someone to check the situation..."
Xu Fu glanced at the police officers calling for help outside the police station, then looked away, ignoring the row of people inside the car who had been beaten bloody and mangled. He turned around, got into a taxi, and left the scene of the accident.
...
[Skill Flight (Bronze Medal)]
the following few days.
Nothing too significant happened in the Antiworld except that the Osborne Group announced Norman Osborne's death, causing a stock market crash.
During this period, Xu Fu also successfully improved his [flight] ability, reaching the [Bronze] level.
The upgraded [Flight] is more spontaneous in terms of movement.
In a more positive world, this ability has been enhanced to some extent. Xu Fu once conducted an experiment, demonstrating that when using this ability at full power, he could easily leap over a skyscraper.
Clearly, as the Superman comics continued, he also became closer to the early Superman in the mainstream lore.
This was undoubtedly good news for Xu Fu.
...
“Mr. Xu Fu, our boss would like to have a talk with you.”
The day after the newspaper went to print, on Monday morning.
Several men in suits and baseball caps stopped Xu Fu on his way to work.
"Your boss?"
Standing still, looking at these obviously unsuspecting people in front of him, Xu Fu showed no panic on his face. Instead, he calmly asked, "...Who?"
"You'll know when you get there."
The leader did not answer Xu Fu's question, but instead pointed to the side of the car.
Turning his head and looking at the cars parked around him, Xu Fu inexplicably couldn't help but recall the scene he had witnessed in front of the police station earlier.
The people who attacked him when he came out of the police station were also at the same scene.
Raising his eyebrows, he gathered the images that came to mind.
Without any hesitation, Xu Fu walked towards the car.
"..."
Seeing his willingness to cooperate, the people responsible for "inviting" him lowered their eyes and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Initially, they thought that getting Xu Fu to meet the boss would require more than just talking and cunning.
Who would have thought that the target would prove to be so cooperative?
This rendered all the means they had prepared (which they had successfully used) ineffective.
Of course, it's always a good thing if the person you invite is willing to cooperate anyway.
In particular, the boss warned them before taking action to invite the other party in a gentle manner.
Seeing Xu Fu get into the car, the group exchanged glances for a moment before quickly realizing what was happening. The team leader sat in the passenger seat, while the others got into another car behind.
In the passenger seat, the team leader lifted his baseball cap and nodded to the driver.
Watching the car drive by, the team leader couldn't help but look up at the rearview mirror again. He saw Xu Fuzheng, the person invited, sitting in the back seat with a relaxed expression, holding a newspaper and casually flipping through its contents.
There wasn't even a hint of tension related to the forced demolition.
