Chapter 63 - The Escape Artist
When Rong Qiuchen saw Yuan Ge surrounded by policemen and a butch woman trying to detain him by force, he didn't care about rules any more and in a panic he deftly retracted his body to get out of the fat policewoman's grip.
Police came from all directions to block Qiuchen, but to everyone's surprise, he displayed superior martial arts skills, easily dodging several police officers before doing a vertical flip, jumping onto a desk, and another one-handed flip, bouncing his body a few metres away, leaving a mess in his wake. He then spun around in the air, using his feet to kick against the wall as a fulcrum, and dodged two more police officers.
Everyone in the room was dumbfounded when they saw him demonstrate his martial arts skills like a pro.
"Get him! Don't let him get away!" Chief Lee gave an order to the dumbfounded policemen, and in an instant a few more policemen went up to surround him.
"That's frigging awesome! The chick can actually fight! Old Lee got a flogging hahaha!" .
The two hooligans couldn't wait to see the chaos unfolding in the police station, jeering and clapping their hands to kick up a fuss.
"Run! Qiuchen, run! Don't worry about me!"
Yuan Ge didn't want Qiuchen to spend the night with these hooligans in detention, and he too tried to slip out of the room amidst the chaos, but was pinned down by Lily's two hundred pound body - "Wanna leave? Pay for my printer first!"
Seeing Yuan Ge's arrest, Rong Qiuchen became even more panicked and confused, with the horror of his fifth brother's experience floating before his eyes - what justice was there to be had in a yamen? He ducked and slid deftly and was about to run out of the police station when a tall, sturdy policeman blocked the door from outside. Hearing Chief Lee's order, without thinking, the policeman used his grappling technique to grab Qiuchen, but his attempt to twist Qiuchen's wrist was easily blocked by Qiuchen's left hand, followed by a swift counterattack on the policeman's wrist. The pain caused the policeman to withdraw his hand and then tried to grab Qiuchen's plait, but Qiuchen slipped out again like a cicada out of its shell, leaving only a jacket behind.
Everyone chased him out of the police station, but he had already blended into the night and disappeared into the thin air …

By the time Chow Mingrun bailed a gloomy-faced Yuan Ge out of the police station, it was already in the early hours of the morning.
"Yuan Ge, what the hell is wrong with you? You've expanded your area of expertise, haven't you? Assault a police officer! What were you thinking! How was that going to end well?"
"It's not me! It was that little nutcase! I don't have his good fighting skills. The police is so unreasonable! Why should I pay for their bloody printer! It's not like I kicked it to the floor! The most hateful thing is, what makes them think I'm not a good person, what makes them think I'm a dirty old pervert who plays with underage boys!"
Yuan Ge was furious.
"Come on, big head, just thank your lucky stars that you're not in custody for obstruction. If I hadn't grovelled and flattered, bent over backwards, and brought the company contract and papers to bail you out, Your Excellency would have had to spend a night in a police cell to get a taste of real life."
With a weary face, Chow Mingrun sighed, "Look at you, a good looking guy, dragging another good looking guy to the police station in the middle of the night to check his ID card, how can people not make wild guesses? I've been telling you to mind your own business, you simply wouldn't listen, now you're getting your ass kicked, serve you bloody right! Let me remind you, Yin Fenghua will be on set soon, you better pull yourself together, focus on filming and stop paying attention to that little lunatic. It's not cheap to keep the crew, money flows out like water every day. How many pickles and congee do I have to sell to pay for it …"
While Chow Mingrun rambled on as they left the police station together, Yuan Ge walked in the other direction.
"Hey, where are you going? Look at the time, don't you think you should go back and get some sleep?"
"Fat Chow, it's such a cold night and the boy is only wearing a T-shirt. I have to go find him, what if he freezes to death on the roadside."
"In this day and age, you talk about freezing to death on the side of the road? Don't be ridiculous!" Seeing that Yuan Ge had ignored everything he had just said and was still so stubborn about taking care of the kid, Chow Mingrun was a little annoyed, "WTF! a porcelain bumper, not like he is someone we know, why do you care so much? Can't you just mind your own business! Everyone avoids porcelain bumpers like the plague these days, yet you go out of your way to stick your nose into them! I really shouldn't have come to bail you out! Hey … Are you okay? Where are you going? If you don't go home, I'm bloody going to leave you alone. If I keep sticking around with you all the time, my missus will start imagining things again." After he said these words, he paid no more attention to Yuan Ge, and called a taxi to go home.
However, Yuan Ge could not help worrying about Rong Qiuchen's safety, so he searched the streets around the police station and then returned to his flat on Yandai Byway, where he did not see Qiuchen at the door, so he went to the Rong Mansion to look for him again, but again found nothing. Finally, exhausted and dejected, he couldn't think of anywhere else to look for and had to return home.
