******************

Another Friday rolled around, Xia Yao has long since cleaned up his workplace, but the clock hand was only pointing to three thirty, it would be quite a bit before work finished. Whilst Xia Yao was busy calculating the last minutes, their department received an emergency call.

The object of this arrest was a recidivist, called Zhao Xiang: a criminal who has done labor work at the age of 16 due to of fighting; within the next 20 years, he has offended 8 times. In addition to a gambling, destroying public property, the rest are all fighting; this man has been repeatedly sentenced to imprisonment, penalties or detention. This time the police received information of Zhao Xiang obtaining illegal firearms, so the department immediately launched an arrest.

After having agreed on a combat procedures, the three went to Zhao Xiang's wearing plain ordinary clothes.

At six o'clock, when the Xia Yao stepped onto the fourth step of the stairways on ground floor, bright lights and voices suddenly sounded above. Xia Yao looked up, heading down was five brawny men led by the criminal himself. So it turned out that Zhao Xiang had intended to begin earlier than expected, and with two more people than what prior information had disclosed.

These were the kinds of situation which made Xiao Hui and Zhang Tian break out in sweats.

"It's fine!" Xia Yao kept is cool while acting like everything was normal, "Just follow my lead."

At the same time, Zhao Xiang, who was also alerted of Xia Yao, Xiao Hui and Zhang Tian, pulled out their machete, steel tube and charged in their direction, a fight broke out in the small corridor.

In order to prevent "misfired shots" which may cause injury to the public downstairs, Xia Yao and his fellow police officers could only use a baton or hand to hold off five brawny, reckless criminals. Two of these men views handsome Xia Yao with his beautiful white skin like fine tender meat, and mistook him for a newbie, so they attacked with an aim to make a opening.

However, Xia Yao firstly used a leg sweep, faking an attack from beneath, and then actually coming in with a right kick from above. The supposedly strong enemy slammed against the door, his head hitting the wall, and could not get up. Again with another beautiful curved kick, Xia Yao fiercely knocked the other man to the ground.

Having taken care of those two men, Xia Yao discovered another bad guy flinging his machete in Zhang Tian's direction. A trail of red dropped from the side of Zhang Tian's cheek. Xia Yao advanced towards Zhang Tian, displaying a lock-down technique to bring the other guy down, grabbing the machete. Zhang Tian resorted to his last efforts to suppress the thug and cuff him.

Xia Yao turned to spot Xiao Hui being pointed at by a gun in Zhao Xiang's hand which made him furious. Step by step, Zhao Xiang walked down the staircase. Xia Yao spotted the opportunity to try a very risky disarming technique he's learnt from Yuan Zong, although his movement was far less beautiful.

The number of crimes Zhao Xiang had committed were by no means little which made him more dangerous, Xia Yao swift action steered Zhao Xiang's muzzle in another direction but he failed to grasp the gun, the two men fought while rolling down the stairs, the gun dropped down near Xiao Hui who quickly picked it up.

Xia Yao's elbow knocked against the stairs handle, an excruciating pain shocked through his system, but Xia Yao endured and pertained to restrain Zhao Xiang's hand, only letting go when back up rushed in.

In the end, the five felons were controlled and taken into police vehicles.

Zhang Tian was rushed to hospital in an ambulance, his face badly hurt, and had to get eighteen stitches from his forehead down to his nose bones.

"Has my beauty been damaged?" Zhang Tian asked Xia Yao.

Xia Yao consoled him, "Don't worry, a little scar never hurts nobody, there are some who even intentionally carve out their faces."

Emotion clogged Zhang Tian's throat, "Of it hadn't been for your help today, our lives would have been lost."

Xiao Hui stood to one side, remaining silent as his eye rims reddens.

"Alright alright, it's done and over with, the past is the past?!"

A moment later Zhang Tian's family arrived, Xia Yao and Xiao Hui left hospital. As they neared the exit, Xiao Hui tapped Xia Yao lightly on the shoulder, it was only then that Xia Yao felt immense pain.

"You go ahead, I have to make a call." Xia Yao told Xiao Hui.

After Xiao Hui has left, Xia Yao went back to get his arms X-Rayed and found out his bone had been broken. It was already eight o'clock when he finished getting his plaster cast.

Xia Yao called a taxi, having every intention of going home, however, half way through, he suddenly asked the driver, "Excuse me, please redirect the route from Wang Fujing to Juan Wai street."
