110: Call the police
“What… what do you want?! (german)”
Facing a crowd of workers holding steel bars and wooden sticks, the Foreign man merely glanced back at his precious girlfriend before feigning composure.
“german?”
Someone immediately recognized the language.
The Steel Factory employees were all top students from the academy, well-traveled and knowledgeable, so they were naturally familiar with such languages.
However, recognizing it was one thing, but they still didn't understand what the other party was saying, as they hadn't systematically studied german.
“What did he say? Can any of you experts explain?”
“Although I haven't studied german and am not a german expert, I always feel like his words are very courageous!”
“Let's talk this out nicely, don't scare our foreign friends. Our nation is very 'harmonious'.”
“That's not right. This person can't speak Chinese, so how did Old Xiao communicate with him before?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone, by chance, turned their gaze to the Trendy man, who was curled up, trying to escape the crowd amidst the chaos.
Huh?
Why did the air suddenly become so quiet?
The Trendy man, who was squatting to lower his profile, suddenly felt the world become completely silent, without a single noisy sound.
This made him instinctively feel that something was wrong.
With doubt, he slightly raised his lowered head.
In an instant, he saw pair after pair of eyes staring at him.
So many, it made one's heart tremble.
Seeing that he had been discovered, trying to fish in troubled waters was no longer possible.
So, the Trendy man smiled apologetically:
“Everyone, could you please not hit my face? I make a living with my face, and if my face is gone, I can't live…”
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a dark shadow flash overhead.
The next moment, *slap!*
Along with a crisp sound, the Trendy man immediately felt stars in his eyes, and a sharp pain on his face.
Before he could recover, *slap, slap, slap…*
Another series of slaps echoed through the crowd.
“It was fine when you didn't speak, but as soon as you opened your mouth, I couldn't help myself!”
“Even Old Xiao, with his good temper, got angry, so this guy must have contributed to it!”
“Everyone, be careful with your hands, don't hit too hard and cause problems, or else we'll be legally responsible.”
“Still trying to run? Where's that charming, foreign swagger from earlier?”
...“Oh no, murder, murder!”
Facing the crowd's assault, the Trendy man could only scurry around with his head in his hands.
But no matter where he turned, he was still within the encirclement of the workers, and as a result, he took a few more slaps.
Everyone's strength was not great.
Otherwise, under the assault of so many people, the Trendy man would have already turned into a pig's head.
To the side, seeing this scene, the two foreign friends were scared pale, and more sweat beaded on their foreheads.
The two never expected that these people would actually dare to resort to violence!
“Call the Police immediately. (german)” the Foreign man whispered to the woman.
Upon hearing this, she immediately took out a mobile phone from her handbag and dialed the emergency number.
At this moment, at the Police Inspector Bureau's call center, the operator had just picked up the phone on the desk when a cry for help came through.
“Hurry, help! (german)”
Huh?
The operator was a bit confused.
For a moment, he couldn't figure out if this was a dialect or some foreign language.
China has many ethnic groups, and some minority groups even have their own unique languages.
Their Police Inspector Bureau occasionally received one or two emergency calls in dialect, but these callers could all speak Chinese.
It was just that in urgent situations, they got excited and spoke in dialect.
Thinking of this, the operator couldn't help but ask, “Madam, please don't be agitated, calm down. Can you speak Chinese?”
“Help! (english)”
Seeing that german wasn't working, the foreign woman immediately switched to the international common language, english.
This time, the operator understood.
Although his english wasn't good, he could understand this simple word.
This word also immediately made him realize that the caller was very likely a foreigner!
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, immediately stood up, and anxiously asked his colleagues, “The caller is a foreigner who doesn't understand Chinese. Does anyone here speak english?”
The working Police Inspectors looked up, glancing at each other, stumped for a moment.
Seeing this, the operator anxiously said again, “Who speaks english? A foreigner is reporting a crime! If we get a complaint because of this, we will definitely be questioned by our superiors.”
Hearing this, a Police Inspector looked helpless: “Xiao Li, we are also afraid of complaints, but we really don't have anyone here who speaks english.”
“I'll go find someone who speaks english,” someone said, running out of the office.
“I'll make some calls and see if anyone speaks english,” someone immediately started making calls.
For a moment, the entire Police Inspector Bureau was mobilized by this emergency call.
“Do you speak english? (english)”
On the phone, the woman's panicked voice was still sounding.
“I will!”
Just then, a figure suddenly stood up, with a resolute expression.
“You, speak english?”
The operator looked at this Intern.
This was a student who had just graduated from the police academy this year, assigned to their Police Inspector Bureau, and whose daily task was to organize some documents.
“I know a little. I passed the english Level 4 exam at the police academy and can speak some conversational english.”
The Intern walked up to the operator.
“Then give it a try!”
The situation was urgent, and the operator didn't care whether the Intern could really do it or not, decisively handing the phone to him.
He had at least passed english Level 4.
Even if he wasn't very good at speaking, it was better than just staring blankly.
Now it was a desperate situation, treating a dead horse as if it were alive; what if he could do it?
“Madam, how may I help you? (english)”
Taking the phone, fluent english came out of the Intern's mouth.
Everyone present was utterly astonished.
“Thank goodness you speak english, that's wonderful! Please come quickly now, someone is trying to use violence against us! (english)”
“Where are you now? (english)” the Intern calmly and coolly asked.
“Here… here is… Guo Li Steel Factory, that's right, this is Guo Li Steel Factory, please come quickly, these people are holding weapons and plotting something bad, if you're late, lives will be lost! (english)”
“We will be right there! (english)”
The call ended. The operator quickly asked, “What did the other party say?”
“Many people are holding weapons and have surrounded her and her friend, plotting something bad. The location is Guo Li Steel Factory, we need to hurry over,” the Intern replied.
Upon hearing this, the operator quickly notified his colleagues: “Quick, tell people to drive over immediately.”
Just as he said this, he suddenly froze again.
Then, he looked at the Intern and asked again, “You just said, where is that place?”
“Guo Li Steel Factory, why? I heard very clearly, that foreign woman said it was this location.”
