"What I said is true!"
Upon hearing Yang Le's dismissive response, Shen Xuhui's anxiety heightened.
"Alright, Yang Le, enough with the teasing."
Sunan intervened, patting Shen Xuhui on the back to calm him down. He didn't want Shen Xuhui to cause a scene over this.
"Humph!"
Shen Xuhui huffed, shooting Yang Le a displeased look. Yang Le simply shrugged in response.
"Since it's true, Xu Hui, show me."
Xia Cheng, the most level-headed among them, took charge of the situation. He encouraged Shen Xuhui to share the evidence, hoping to bring some order to the situation.
Realizing that he needed to present proof, Shen Xuhui handed his phone to Xia Cheng. The three of them gathered around, their curiosity piqued.
"Well, go ahead and show us. We'll see for ourselves."
Xia Cheng accepted the phone, scrolling through the images that Shen Xuhui had captured. He shared a knowing look with Sunan, understanding the potential implications of the images.
The trio stared at the images intently, taking in the scene depicted before them.
Yang Le broke the silence, unable to contain his disbelief. "Is this for real?"
The concept of a real-life Iron Man seemed too fantastical to comprehend.
"Hey, don't doubt it. Let's see."
Sunan's voice held a note of amusement, as he urged them to focus on the evidence.
Unveiling the truth before their eyes, Shen Xuhui played a video that he had found on Xinglang. As the video played, the awe-inspiring events that had transpired outside the bank came to life on the screen.
The video showed Fang Yan's actions, from emerging from the bank to his interactions with the criminals. Although the footage was shaky and the audio unclear, it clearly documented the extraordinary scene.
The video captured the criminals being immobilized and dealt with by Fang Yan's chains of light, leaving the trio astounded.
"Well, I guess it's true."
Yang Le admitted, his skepticism dissipating as he absorbed the visual evidence.
"Unbelievable, but it's right there."
Sunan's voice held a hint of astonishment, echoing the sentiments of his friends.
"Indeed, this is beyond anything we could have imagined."
Xia Cheng's eyes were fixed on the video, his thoughts racing.
...
"Sir, please choose your words carefully."
Despite Fang Yan's imposing presence, Shi Hui maintained a composed demeanor, unwilling to be intimidated.
"While your intentions are commendable, it's important that your actions do not have unintended consequences that disrupt society."
"You've played the role of a superhero from movies. However, if your actions inadvertently cause chaos, it could pose a significant risk to our society."
Shi Hui's words were stern, cautioning Fang Yan against using his powers recklessly.
Fang Yan chuckled inwardly at Shi Hui's response, even though the mask concealed his expression.
"Officer Shi, if that's the case, and if I trust your judgment, I propose that you ensure they receive a life sentence. If not, they should be executed. Incarceration without purpose is a waste of resources."
Fang Yan's words carried a determined tone, as he regarded Shi Hui with unwavering resolve.
Shi Hui's eyes met Fang Yan's, a mix of emotions swirling within him. The pressure emanating from Fang Yan was undeniable.
"As you wish."
Shi Hui sensed Fang Yan's unyielding stance and acknowledged his request.
With a stomp, Fang Yan's body lifted off the ground, propelled by high-pressure flames that shot from his feet. He swiftly ascended into the sky, disappearing from view.
As Fang Yan departed, Shi Hui reflected on his words, realizing the challenges of achieving a conviction in such cases.
...
"Everyone, listen up!"
Shi Hui rallied the police officers who had been in awe, snapping them out of their daze.
"Escort Situ Hai and the others to the police station. I'll report back to the City Bureau immediately!"
Shi Hui wasted no time, hurrying into a police car. The vehicle sped away, leaving the scene.
Officers ushered Situ Hai and his accomplices into police cars, while a few officers remained behind to maintain order.
The atmosphere was charged with excitement, and the departure of Fang Yan only heightened the fervor among the onlookers.
"He really flew away, without any visible means of takeoff. He just soared..."
"It's really Iron Man!"
"Spread the word quickly!"
Amidst the commotion, bystanders shared the astonishing events with friends, family, and colleagues, their words spreading like wildfire.
The news captivated the city, as citizens exchanged tales of the incredible sight they had witnessed.
Simultaneously...
"Yang Le, you won't believe what I just saw!"
Shen Xuhui, eager to share the astounding news, urgently called out to his friend.
"Shh! Lower your voice, Xuhui."
Yang Le winced, Shen Xuhui's exuberance startling him.
"Come and take a look! Iron Man is here in Dongxia!"
Shen Xuhui's excitement was palpable as he showed Yang Le a viral image on his phone.
"Sure, let's see what you've got."
Yang Le responded with a chuckle, curious about the source of Shen Xuhui's excitement.
Yang Le's dismissive attitude prompted Shen Xuhui to retaliate with a playful glare.
"If it's real, show me."
Xia Cheng, the voice of reason, intervened, urging Shen Xuhui to substantiate his claims.
Sensing Xia Cheng's composed demeanor, Shen Xuhui retrieved his phone and proudly displayed the evidence he had collected.
"Alright, take a look. Don't doubt me now."
Shen Xuhui handed his phone over, letting them inspect the images that had left him awestruck.
The trio huddled around, captivated by the images that unfolded on the screen.
Yang Le couldn't hold back his skepticism. "Is this seriously for real?"
The concept of a real-life Iron Man was difficult to fathom.
"Alright, enough doubts. Let's see."
Sunan chimed in, eager to examine the evidence for himself.
Presenting the proof, Shen Xuhui played a video recording he had found on Xinglang. The footage documented the remarkable events that had unfolded outside the bank.
The video revealed Fang Yan's actions, showcasing how he emerged from the bank and dealt with the criminals. While the footage was shaky and the audio unclear, it vividly captured the extraordinary scene.
The visuals left the trio in awe, their skepticism waning.
"I guess it's real."
Yang Le admitted, his doubts dissipating as he watched the compelling video.
"It's hard to believe, but the proof is right there."
Sunan's voice held a hint of astonishment, mirroring the sentiments of his friends.
"It seems that truth can be stranger than fiction."
Xia Cheng's gaze remained fixed on the screen, his mind racing to comprehend the implications of the footage.
...
"Sir, please be mindful of your words."
Despite Fang Yan's imposing presence, Shi Hui maintained a composed demeanor, refusing to be intimidated.
"While your intentions are commendable, it's crucial that your actions do not inadvertently lead to disruptions in
society."
"You've taken on the persona of a superhero from movies. However, if your actions inadvertently sow chaos, they could pose significant risks to our society."
Shi Hui's words were firm, cautioning Fang Yan against reckless use of his powers.
Fang Yan's chuckle was concealed by his mask, his thoughts hidden from Shi Hui.
"Officer Shi, if that's the case, and if I trust your judgment, I propose that you ensure they receive a life sentence. If not, they should be executed. Keeping them incarcerated without a purpose is a wasteful use of resources."
Fang Yan's words carried a resolute tone as he regarded Shi Hui with steadfast determination.
Shi Hui met Fang Yan's gaze, grappling with a mix of emotions as he felt the weight of Fang Yan's presence.
"As you wish."
Shi Hui acknowledged Fang Yan's request, understanding the gravity of the situation.
With a powerful stomp, Fang Yan's body lifted off the ground, propelled by high-pressure flames that erupted from his feet. He soared into the sky and swiftly vanished from sight.
As Fang Yan departed, Shi Hui contemplated his words, realizing the complexity of achieving a conviction in such cases.
...
"Listen up, everyone!"
Shi Hui addressed the police officers who had been mesmerized by the scene, snapping them back to reality.
"Escort Situ Hai and the others to the police station. I'll report back to the City Bureau immediately!"
Shi Hui wasted no time, quickly entering a police car that sped away from the scene.
Officers efficiently loaded Situ Hai and his accomplices into police vehicles, leaving a few behind to maintain order.
With Fang Yan's departure, the atmosphere remained charged with excitement, intensifying among the bystanders.
"He actually flew away, without any visible means of takeoff. He simply ascended..."
"It's really Iron Man!"
"Spread the word!"
Amid the buzz, witnesses eagerly shared the astonishing events with friends, family, and colleagues, ensuring that the story rapidly circulated throughout the city.
