#10 - Lucy's Trouble

Arriving at Tom's bar, Tom was already waiting at the door.

"Where's my little beef?"

"Here!" Tom tossed over two hamburgers and said, "Fill your stomach first. When I get my hands on the little beef, I'll definitely call you over to eat."

"Knew you were going to play tricks."

Qi Shan rolled his eyes, leaned against the wooden fence, and opened the hamburger wrapper to take a bite. "What's so important that you dragged me all the way over here?"

"Remember Lucy?"

Qi Shan put his hand to his forehead and said painfully, "Big brother, I've told you, I just came to this city, I don't know anyone except you guys, and Lucy? Are you serious?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Tom's eyes.

"Okay, my bad. I should have introduced her to you earlier. Lucy is the waitress at the celebration that night, the one you said could gather people's hearts."

"E++?"

"That's her!" Tom nodded.

"I remember her, what's wrong?"

"Someone wants to kill her!"

Qi Shan gave him a look, and Tom immediately smiled wryly, "I have to do something. Lucy's father was a comrade of mine, and when he was dying, I promised to take care of his daughter.

Besides, Lucy is very capable. More than half of the alcohol in my shop is sold by her. Without her, the business on the surface would be ruined! And..."

"And you'll lose your reputation." Qi Shan interrupted him and said, "I understand your routine, but this shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

Tom was silent for a moment, then said, "I have my own enemies too."

"Someone is watching you?"

"Not really, it's just that it would be very troublesome to move. My competitors are just a small problem, the FBI and CIA are the big problems."

Qi Shan looked at him: "You've got the whole set, just missing the Department of Homeland Security. What do you want me to do?"

Old fox!

Qi Shan shook his head: "Give me Lucy's address, I'll see what I can do."

Tom immediately handed over the prepared note.

It had the address and phone number written on it.

"I've already told Lucy, just give your name."

Qi Shan was slightly speechless, held out a finger and beckoned.

"Huh?"

"Phone or something!"

Qi Shan grabbed Tom's phone, waved his hand, and turned to leave.

Tom was slightly stunned, then smiled, turned around and entered the bar.

Lucy's house.

Qi Shan sat on the sofa, Lucy was busy pouring tea and getting fruit, looking a little excited.

Lucy was there on the night of the celebration.

She knew the complete process of Qi Shan rescuing Tracy, and she had also heard the boss, Tom, say what Qi Shan was capable of.

Being able to get Qi Shan's help when she was desperate made her very excited.

"Lucy, don't bother, tell me what happened, do you know who wants to kill you?"

"Probably, I have some guesses."

Lucy rubbed her fair thighs, sat sideways beside him, sticking out her chest and showing off her assets.

"About a week ago, when I was driving home from work at three in the morning, I saw a pizza delivery guy rear-ending a gold Lexus.

The person who got out of the car beat the pizza delivery kid very badly. He even took out a large wrench as a weapon. Then I wrote down the license plate number and called the police.

Now I heard that the pizza delivery kid was badly injured and is in the hospital's intensive care unit, only able to stay alive by breathing oxygen."

Qi Shan raised his hand: "So you witnessed the whole process?"

"That's right, only me." Lucy spread her hands and said, "As a result, two days ago, I found a dead rat on the door, nailed to the door with a long nail through its head.

Then I went to the police station again. I thought the police would protect me, or come up with a witness protection program or something, but who knew they just said they would increase patrols and sent me away.

The people in the store didn't dare to go, so they've been hanging around my house. These past two days, people have been throwing dead rats into my room, scaring me so much that I don't dare to go out.

So, you don't know how happy I was when the boss said you would come to help."

"You have confidence in me." Qi Shan nodded, thought for a while and said: "I will talk to their boss about this matter, and Tom will notify you of any progress. Don't go out these two days, and call Laurie if anything happens. I think they don't dare to shoot the police in broad daylight."

Lucy nodded.

After leaving the door, he made a call to Laurie and briefly inquired about the case.

He quickly obtained the basic information.

The perpetrator's name is Alvaro Chacon, a small boss of the Colombian gang, mainly selling drugs in several communities, and occasionally doing some laundry detergent business.

He has more than 20 thugs under his command, five or six desperadoes, with a certain deterrent force, and the nearby small gangs are very respectful.

Because of the case investigation, the perpetrator is required to be summoned at any time, so the location is also very easy to find.

According to the address given by Laurie, Qi Shan took a taxi over.

He happened to see the perpetrator sitting outside the cafe, reading the newspaper while enjoying the breeze.

Two or three thugs were sitting at the next two tables, ostensibly enjoying the leisurely afternoon sun, but actually setting up stalls to sell.

As a small boss, he doesn't have to peddle drugs everywhere like the lackeys, he just needs to sit in the center and dispatch by phone.

Qi Shan walked over and sat directly opposite Alvaro Chacon.

"Alvaro?"

"Who are you?"

"Tom's Bar, Lucy." Qi Shan reached out and tapped the table.

"Sorry, I don't know you, you've got the wrong person." Alvaro was wearing a black suit, and the dark blue shirt was unbuttoned, revealing his hairy chest, looking very wild.

Qi Shan smiled and said: "Whether you know me or not, this matter ends here, you better seize the last chance."

Alvaro grinned, revealing his white teeth: "Or what?"

"Or you'll regret not going to jail sooner!"

"Oh?" Alvaro smiled, and the younger brothers at the next two tables stood up at the same time, lifting their shirts to reveal the pistols tucked in their waists.

"3.35 caliber pistol, are you serious?" Qi Shan shook his head, pointed to the TV next to him, and said: "The times have changed, don't you think it's childish to play this kind of game anymore?"

On the TV, the news was being broadcast.

Supergirl rescued a burning 100,000-ton oil tanker, but tore the oil tanker in half, causing a large-scale oil spill and causing extensive marine pollution.

Major news media are vying to report on this incident, and even splicing together a series of previous mistakes into a collection, constantly playing it, deepening Supergirl's image of helping more harm than good.

Alvaro glanced back, disdainfully saying: "Supergirl? Stopping bank robbers, fighting fires, at most saving a plane, what else can she do? She's just an alien with power, who knows nothing about the rules of the underground world. She can't do anything!"

"Oh! Don't be so sure. You will be impressed by this alien, I guarantee it."

Qi Shan smiled and said: "The topic is getting off track. I just want to solve Lucy's problem, Tom needs his waitress."

"Sorry, then please go back and tell Tom to find a new one. Lucy? At most, in another hour, her problem will no longer exist."

When Alvaro spoke, a bloody light flashed in his eyes.

Qi Shan nodded, got up and left.

Now that things have come to this, there is no need to talk anymore.

The perpetrator obviously doesn't want to let Lucy go, without an eyewitness, the case will not stand.

So, in the United States, the victims are not the most pitiful, because the eyewitnesses are likely to die first.

Looking up at the Supergirl report on the big screen in the square, Qi Shan stroked his chin, maybe he should try to contact Supergirl.

If he could use a knife to kill, solving this matter would be easy.

After pondering for a while, Qi Shan shook his head.

It's still not good, there is no suitable excuse.

Moreover, Supergirl is the center of the world, not only the news media are surrounding her, but even the DEO and the villains are surrounding her. Contacting Supergirl is easy to get caught in a whirlpool of trouble and then be exposed to the public.

This is not the life Qi Shan wants.

"Hey! Just a busy life."

Reaching out to call a car, when opening the door and sitting in the back seat, Qi Shan was still thinking, maybe he should get a car.

He stopped at a gas station in the middle to buy two barrels of oil, which delayed some time. When he arrived at Lucy's door, he saw two SUVs parked suspiciously on the street corner.

Seven or eight burly men walked down, full of murderous aura, and openly holding guns.

At noon, there were few pedestrians, except for Qi Shan and the taxi driver, there were no witnesses.

Qi Shan got out of the car with the things, and the taxi driver ran away without even asking for money.

"Heh, smart man!" Qi Shan chuckled.

Several burly men glanced at Qi Shan, and immediately two of them walked over.

Bad intentions, preparing for the worst?

Qi Shan shrugged, raised a barrel of gasoline and smashed it over.

The oil barrel smashed on the ground, shattered, and gasoline splashed everywhere.

Several burly men jumped to avoid it, and their faces changed color when they smelled the pungent smell.

Qi Shan took out a lighter and threw it out with a loud laugh.

With a bang, the flames exploded instantly, and the ground burned fiercely.

Several burly men fired directly, the gunshots rang out, the bullets hit Qi Shan, suddenly lost power, and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

The burly men were like ghosts, panicked, cursing in their mouths and desperately pulling the trigger, Qi Shan approached step by step, opened another gasoline barrel, and stepped on the sea of fire and splashed it everywhere, looking crazy.

They were startled, turned around and rushed into the car and fled in a hurry.

Qi Shan stood in the middle of the road, looked at the figures of the surrounding neighbors peeking out, shrugged, turned his head and shouted: "Lucy, do you have a fire extinguisher at home?"
