【Mission Name】: Act of Bravery!
【Mission Content】: Subdue the assailant wielding a knife inside the supermarket.
【Mission Reward】: 880,000 cash, Physique +5, Charm Value +5, Health +5, Inventory Slot +3!
*Swish!*
As Jiang Tao took a step forward, a cyan system panel suddenly appeared in the air before him.
The situation was urgent.
Jiang Tao didn’t have time to look at the mission content and rewards on the panel.
Even if no special mission had been triggered, he wouldn’t stand by and do nothing when he saw something like this.
Of course, it would be best if he could complete a special mission and receive rewards while acting bravely.
*Thump thump thump!*
With a Physique of 150+, Jiang Tao’s physical quality had not only greatly improved, but his explosive power was also stronger, making his short sprints faster.
The distance between where he and Xu Li were standing and the fallen salesperson and the assailant was less than 30 meters.
In less time than it takes to say it.
It took less than 10 seconds from the moment Jiang Tao decided to intervene and save the person until he reached the assailant who had raised his kitchen knife and was about to continue his attack.
This was even with the obstruction of many panicked customers fleeing towards the exit.
If there were no obstacles in the way, and he exerted his full burst of speed.
30 meters might only take 3-5 seconds.
“Help! Help! Don’t kill me…”
The fallen female clerk pleaded while kicking her legs desperately, trying to gain a sliver of hope for survival under the blade.
The burly man remained silent the entire time, raising the kitchen knife in his hand to continue hacking.
*Bang!*
Suddenly, a tremendous force struck the man holding the knife.
The burly man was as if hit by a speeding heavy-duty truck.
His massive body flew out seven or eight meters with a loud crash, hitting a liquor shelf nearby.
*Clang!!*
*Crash~ Crash~*
The shelf tipped over, crushing the burly man beneath it.
The various Baijiu bottles displayed on the shelf shattered and fell to the ground with a clatter, instantly filling the scene with a strong smell of alcohol.
“This…”
“So fierce!”
“So, so powerful!”
“There are actually people this powerful in reality!”
Several passersby who were desperately fleeing stopped in their tracks as they witnessed the scene.
Everyone’s gaze turned towards Jiang Tao, who had just kicked the burly man flying.
The power of Jiang Tao’s kick had surpassed everyone’s understanding of human strength in the real world!
The burly man was well-built and muscular, weighing at least 180-200 pounds.
Jiang Tao, as if kicking a soccer ball, sent him flying seven or eight meters with one kick. The power of this kick was terrifying!
If even one-tenth of the Chinese national football team players had this much power, they would have already broken out of Asia and headed for the world.
“Hang in there, we’ve already called for an ambulance.”
“Is there a doctor here? Hurry and help!”
After kicking the burly man away, Jiang Tao quickly walked over to the fallen salesperson, knelt beside her, comforted her, and then shouted to the surroundings.
“Husband!”
Xu Li also rushed through the crowd to Jiang Tao’s side. Seeing that he was unharmed, her heart, which had been in her throat, finally settled.
She had also seen Jiang Tao’s stunning kick just now.
Xu Li now had a clearer understanding of her husband’s strength.
But even if Jiang Tao was powerful, he was facing a knife-wielding assailant with an unknown mental state, and she was still extremely anxious.
“It’s okay, wife. Don’t be scared, don’t panic.”
Jiang Tao reached out and took Xu Li’s hand, which was cold from fear, and comforted her.
“Thank you, thank you…”
The female clerk, perhaps due to excessive blood loss or extreme mental stress, looked at Jiang Tao and fainted with a slight tilt of her head before she could finish her words.
“General Manager Gu, General Manager Gu!”
“Someone, help! Is there a doctor? Can anyone help us?”
A middle-aged woman wearing a Supermarket Fa uniform rushed over to Jiang Tao and the woman who had fainted, desperately calling for help from the surroundings.
“I, I am a doctor. She needs to stop the bleeding first. Do you have any bandages at the supermarket? If not, a clean towel will do!”
A middle-aged man wearing glasses hesitated for a moment, then stopped and joined the rescue effort.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The middle-aged woman who had called out “General Manager Gu” quickly went to find the necessary medical supplies after hearing the doctor’s instructions.
*Crash!*
Suddenly, there was another loud noise from behind.
The burly man, who had been kicked seven or eight meters by Jiang Tao, had actually pushed aside the shelf that had fallen on him and stood up again!
At this moment, the burly man’s face and body were covered in cuts from broken glass, and he was covered in blood, looking like a bloody apparition.
Moreover, the kitchen knife he had used to attack was still firmly in his grip.
The dripping bloody knife, combined with his current blood-soaked appearance, made him even more terrifying!
Even a casual glance from an ordinary person would send shivers down their spine, and they would scream and flee.
“Ah!!!”
“Daddy, Daddy, Daddy… *sob sob sob*…”
“Run, run!”
“…”
The male doctor who had chosen to stay and help felt like crying without tears when he saw the burly man get up again.
He regretted getting involved!
He had elders and young children at home, and his whole family depended on him.
He didn’t want any accidents to happen because of so-called “acting bravely.”
Although he was a doctor, he was also an ordinary person.
It was natural to want to retreat and escape from danger.
“Husband…”
Xu Li gripped Jiang Tao’s hand even tighter, her gaze towards the bloody figure filled with fear.
“I’ve got this, everything will be fine. Wife, wait here quietly for me.”
Jiang Tao patted Xu Li’s hand, withdrawing his from her tight grip.
“Husband, be careful…”
Xu Li looked at Jiang Tao with teary eyes, full of worry for him.
“Ah!!!”
Suddenly!
The knife-wielding bloody man shouted and charged towards Jiang Tao’s location with the kitchen knife raised.
“Get out of the way quickly!”
Jiang Tao hastily told Xu Li to move, then shifted his body to shield her behind him, facing the charging assailant directly.
However, after the previous encounter, Jiang Tao had a certain understanding of the assailant’s strength.
He was only relying on his burly physique and strength, with no other special abilities.
He was not a trained fighter like Tian Linan.
Therefore, this scene, which appeared extremely dangerous to outsiders, posed no threat to Jiang Tao at all.
He could kick the opponent away once, and he could do it again, and a third time.
Even if the assailant were given 100 chances, he couldn’t threaten or harm Jiang Tao in the slightest.
*Swish!*
Jiang Tao moved and charged forward, trying to keep the “battlefield” away from Xu Li.
*Bang!*
Before the assailant could swing the kitchen knife, Jiang Tao punched him directly in the face!
*Clang!!*
With another loud crash.
The assailant was knocked to the ground by Jiang Tao’s punch, his massive body stumbled a few steps to the side, and he fell into another shelf.
“Ah!!!”
The assailant roared and quickly got up from the ground again.
His eye socket had taken a direct hit from Jiang Tao’s punch and had turned black and blue, but as if feeling no pain, he charged at Jiang Tao again.
Fortunately, he was no longer holding a knife this time and was fighting bare-handed, posing much less of a threat to Jiang Tao.
*Bang!*
Jiang Tao kicked him down again.
The assailant had indeed run into a tough opponent in Jiang Tao today; he was no match for him at all.
Jiang Tao was bullying him like he was bullying kindergarten children.
After being kicked away seven or eight times by Jiang Tao, the assailant finally ran out of stamina and couldn’t get up anymore, lying on the supermarket floor, panting heavily.
At the same time, several police officers in uniform arrived.
Seeing the chaotic scene and the large amount of blood, the police officers immediately became alert.
“Officers, that lunatic…”
The duty manager of the supermarket had arrived at the scene when Jiang Tao kicked the assailant away for the third time.
He had witnessed the entire incident.
The responsibility of explaining the situation to the police naturally fell on him as the person in charge.
Controlling the suspect, evacuating the crowd, sealing off the scene for evidence collection, temporary closure of the supermarket…
After the police officers arrived, they systematically carried out various tasks.
Meanwhile.
Videos filmed from the perspective of several bystanders began to circulate on platforms like Weibo and Kuaidou.
Although the supermarket was in chaos at the time, there were still some bold and nosy individuals who took out their phones to film.
They wouldn’t dare to step forward and stop the violence.
But when they saw someone take action, they were more active than anyone else in filming from the sidelines!
A public stabbing in a supermarket was quite attention-grabbing!
“In broad daylight, this is too terrifying!”
“Oh my, what happened to that female salesperson? Is there any follow-up?”
“Is this person crazy! So scary, it’s best to stay away from abnormal people in the future!”
“Watching this makes me afraid to go to the supermarket anymore!”
“It’s hard to believe something like this would happen in the Capital City!”
“The brother who acted bravely is so handsome! And so fierce!”
“Whoa, he kicked someone that far with one kick? This guy isn’t a soccer player, is he?”
“Chinese national team, hurry up and get this person, what a talent!”
“Fortunately, this young man stepped in, otherwise, with so many people in the supermarket, the consequences are unimaginable…”
“Huh, does this handsome guy look a bit familiar? I think he’s a streamer I follow, but I can’t remember which one.”
“I knew he looked familiar! It’s Xiao Jiang, who can’t escape!! It’s him, it’s definitely him! The missing person has returned!”
“No way, it really is him! He’s not running, he’s here acting bravely!”
“As expected of the streamer I follow, his sense of justice is off the charts. I’ll be a loyal fan of Xiao Jiang from now on!”
Jiang Tao’s act of bravery at Supermarket Fa quickly became a trending topic.
Several related videos also made it to the popular section of Kuaidou.
Furthermore, as time passed, the rankings of the related trending topics continued to rise.
【The person who runs the fastest did not run when facing danger.】
【The handsome brother who acted bravely is so cool!】
【With good looks and responsibility, the Act of Bravery guy is famous!】
Many netizens, following the clues from those in the know, found Jiang Tao’s Weibo and Kuaidou accounts and gave him a follow.
A happy accident.
Jiang Tao’s unintentional act of kindness unexpectedly made him famous again.
His Weibo and Kuaidou followers were skyrocketing.
In less than an hour, he gained over 100,000 followers across all platforms.
This rate of follower growth is truly enviable for most people!
He had the right timing, the right place, and the right people all at once; fate had literally handed him an opportunity.
*Ring ring, ring ring, ring ring—*
The matter at the supermarket was still not fully resolved when Jiang Tao’s phone started ringing incessantly.
Friends and family who saw the trending topics or popular videos on Kuaidou were calling to check on him.
Facing everyone’s concern, Jiang Tao knew they meant well.
However, the calls coming one after another were making him overwhelmed.
He decided to post an update on his Moments to assure everyone he was safe and to thank them for their concern.
After posting this update, things indeed quieted down, with only a few sporadic calls coming in.
…
“Mr. Jiang, thank you so much, thank you so much!”
“If it weren’t for you today, my daughter would probably have been hacked to death by that lunatic!”
“Our supermarket probably won’t be able to stay open in the future!”
“Sigh! Bad luck, such bad luck! Why is this year only filled with unfortunate events!”
Inside a hotel across from Supermarket Fa, Gu Hongsheng, who had rushed over after hearing the news, thanked Jiang Tao with a solemn expression.
Gu Hongsheng was the boss of Supermarket Fa, and the woman injured by the assailant in the supermarket was his daughter, Gu Yao.
Upon receiving the call from the person in charge of the supermarket and hearing the report, Gu Hongsheng hurried over with his driver.
After the police sealed off the scene for evidence collection and took several supermarket managers away to assist with the investigation.
Gu Hongsheng persuaded Jiang Tao to stay and expressed his sincere gratitude.
It was no exaggeration to say that without Jiang Tao stepping forward today.
His daughter Gu Yao and his supermarket would have been ruined.
After all, who would want to shop at a supermarket where someone had died? It would be too creepy!
If, at this critical juncture, a supermarket of similar scale and quality opened nearby.
It would instantly siphon away more than half of Supermarket Fa’s customer flow!
“General Manager Gu, you don’t need to be so polite. It was only right to act bravely when seeing such a situation.”
Jiang Tao spoke with Gu Hongsheng in a calm manner.
The benefits he gained from today’s incident far exceeded his imagination.
The massive increase in his followers across the internet was one aspect.
He also received generous rewards for completing the 【Act of Bravery【 mission.
In this matter, Jiang Tao, who had no relation to Supermarket Fa, unexpectedly became the biggest winner.
From Gu Hongsheng and Gu Yao’s perspective, today’s incident was undoubtedly an extremely terrible and unlucky event.
But for Jiang Tao, it was a good thing that brought him immense benefits.
Indeed, people’s joys and sorrows are not shared.
Jiang Tao secretly rejoiced, but he couldn’t show any sign of it in front of Gu Hongsheng, the “victim.”
That would be too inconsiderate.
“Mr. Jiang, great kindness needs no thanks! No amount of thanks can express my gratitude.”
“I, Gu, am not someone who repays kindness with nothing. I am willing to transfer 5% of our Supermarket Fa shares to you as a token of my appreciation.”
Gu Hongsheng didn’t beat around the bush and directly showed his sincerity after a round of thanks.
