Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

He naturally had to ask the driver what was going through his mind.

Trying to get revenge on society?

Hearing this, the driver’s face filled with bitterness. He hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands. ”No, no, no, that’s not it! I was driving just fine. I don’t know what happened, the brakes suddenly failed. I couldn’t stop no matter what, and then this happened.”

Brake failure?

Zhang Beixing frowned. He was about to think, Who does he think he’s fooling?

But then he turned his head and saw the car’s brand.

Tesla. Ah, then that explains it!

「Five minutes later.」

WEE-OO WEE-OO WEE-OO—

The sound of sirens approached from the distance. The police had received the report and rushed to the scene as quickly as possible to maintain order.

Zhang Beixing scanned the officers.

Unfortunately, he didn’t see his old acquaintances, the former Superintendent Bai or Li Shuo.

It made sense, though.

After those two had spent a year cleaning up Zhang Beixing’s messes, on top of all the other cases they had solved, their list of merits had skyrocketed.

The former Superintendent Bai had already been promoted to Chief Superintendent. Li Shuo had also become a Superintendent.

Having climbed to such ranks, they wouldn’t typically be dispatched for relatively ordinary cases like this.

After briefing the police and explaining the entire sequence of events, they learned that Zhang Beixing had single-handedly managed to bring the out-of-control car to a halt.

The officers on site looked at the car—its front end smashed down, its rear pointing upwards—with utterly bewildered expressions.

If it weren’t for their professional discipline holding them back, they would probably be asking right now, ”Are you even human?!” With skills like that, calling him Superman wouldn’t be an exaggeration in the slightest!

These thoughts ran through the police officers’ minds.

Then, they looked at Zhang Beixing and asked, ”Uh, Comrade Zhang, are you alright? Are you injured? Do you need to go to the hospital for a check-up?”

At this question, the surrounding crowd also turned to look, their curiosity piqued.

Although Zhang Beixing was strong, he had, after all, just confronted a car.

Even if it hadn’t been moving very fast, getting hit couldn’t have been pleasant, and there was no guarantee that Zhang Beixing hadn’t sustained some injury.

In response, Zhang Beixing simply waved his hand. ”I’m fine, perfectly fine. Don’t worry.”

This wasn’t bravado; it was the truth!

His recent cultivation of the ”Postnatal Five Qi Cleansing Method” hadn’t been for nothing. His physical body and internal organs had long since been tempered to an incredible degree of strength.

A collision of this magnitude, while causing him some discomfort, was far from enough to inflict any real damage.

The status display on his System panel showed no new injuries, which confirmed that Zhang Beixing was completely unharmed.

”Are you sure?” one of the police officers asked, still doubtful.

They were unaware of Zhang Beixing’s true condition and could only judge based on their own understanding.

Zhang Beixing nodded. ”Positive. Absolutely positive. Rest assured, I wouldn’t joke about my own life.”

”Well... okay then.”

Hearing Zhang Beixing’s firm reassurance, the police officer didn’t press further, simply nodding to indicate that Zhang Beixing should decide for himself.

Subsequently, the police called their colleagues from the traffic department.

Together, they arranged for the at-fault driver and the Tesla to be towed away for interrogation and to determine liability.

With that, the incident drew to a close.

Everything returned to normal.

As the crowd calmed down, people were about to approach Zhang Beixing to ask how he had performed such a feat, perhaps to request a photo or an autograph.

But a glance around revealed that Zhang Beixing, having anticipated this, had already departed with Lin Siqi.

Carrying large and small bags, they walked back towards Shi University.

Seeing Zhang Beixing—not a bead of sweat on him, not even breathing heavily, looking as if nothing at all had happened—Lin Siqi couldn’t hide her curiosity and asked worriedly, ”Lao Zhang, are you sure you’re okay?”

Zhang Beixing gestured dismissively. ”What kind of question is that? Would I be foolish enough to say I’m fine if I wasn’t? Don’t worry. It was just stopping a car. This barely fazed me; my martial arts training is more strenuous!”

Hearing his words, Chen Rourou, who was with them, was taken aback.

After a moment’s thought, she realized it actually made sense.

She’d heard rumors that during Zhang Beixing’s martial arts training, every thunderous sound emanating from his body packed the force of a small car crashing down.

If he could withstand that, and even grow more vigorous with each training session...

Then perhaps tanking the impact of a small car head-on... wasn’t so hard to believe? But Lao Zhang is getting scarily powerful. It feels like he’s evolving into Superman!

As Zhang Beixing’s significant other, Lin Siqi could, with some effort, grasp the situation.

But others, at that moment, were finding it much harder to comprehend.

Zhang Beixing had stopped the car and saved the child right at the Shishi City Mall entrance.

The area had high foot traffic.

Consequently, the scene of his heroic act was inevitably filmed by onlookers and uploaded to the internet.

Instantly, the previously tranquil online sphere erupted with activity.

Netizens were baffled watching the video: a man, in a critical moment, dashing in front of a sedan, shielding a child in his arms, and then pressing down on the car’s hood, forcing it to a halt.

”WTF, what is happening?!”

”I must be seeing things! I actually saw someone stop a car with their bare hands in broad daylight!”

”What superhero movie is this? Looks pretty interesting. When is it coming out?”

”Uh... to the commenter above, do you think there’s a possibility this isn’t a superhero movie, but actually real? If I’m not mistaken, the guy who stopped the car... isn’t that Brother Dan?”
