I can travel back and forth in 1986

Chapter 71 Working Together to Subdue

Zhang Beichuan's heart skipped a beat. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the person behind the door holding a dagger to his neck.

Lu Ya lay unconscious on the ground beside him.

Zhang Beichuan, who had always lived in a safe environment, had never seen anything like this before.

When life is threatened, the body reacts before the brain, and the legs tremble like leaves.

He thought about running back to 2026 immediately, but how can he explain disappearing right under the nose of such a living person?

If the explanation doesn't work, the only solution is to shut the person up completely.

He's never even killed a chicken, asking him to kill someone? That's ridiculous!

"Big...Big brother, don't...don't be impulsive."

"Shut the fuck up!" Huang Zhenjiang held a dagger in one hand while glancing around the room for anything usable. He quickly spotted a rope and a bamboo knife in the corner. "Don't make a sound."

"Okay, okay..." Zhang Beichuan glanced at Huang Zhenjiang, who was also covered in sweat. As long as he wasn't a serial killer, it was fine.

Huang Zhenjiang applied a little force, and the dagger pierced the skin of Zhang Beichuan's neck, blood instantly flowing from his neck.

"Walk to the corner."

"Okay, okay, big brother, don't get excited, don't get excited."

After walking to the corner, Huang Zhenjiang gave him a look, "Pick up the rope and put it around your neck."

Zhang Beichuan glanced at Lu Ya, who was still unconscious, and had no choice but to do as he was told.

Within minutes, with Zhang Beichuan's help, Huang Zhenjiang tied him up, and also tied up the female police officer.

But he was still worried, afraid that the policewoman would wake up and shout, alerting the people nearby.

"If you know what's good for you, you'd better behave yourself. If you dare to make a sound, I guarantee you won't see the sun rise tomorrow before the police arrive!"

"I promise to cooperate." Zhang Beichuan, who had calmed down, pretended to cooperate while thinking of a way to deal with the situation.

After cleaning himself up, Huang Zhenjiang took the bamboo knife from the house before going out to find a towel to gag the two men.

Watching the person leave, Zhang Beichuan had a thought and returned to 2026.

The drowsy feeling from the alcohol returned, and he hopped towards the kitchen, finally managing to grab a fruit knife after a lot of effort.

The seasonings on the stove were spilled all over the floor, but he didn't have time to clean them up. He skipped and hopped to the dressing mirror in the living room.

He turned his head and sideways, using a fruit knife to cut the rope. When he had almost finished cutting it, he had another thought and returned to 1986.

Zhang Beichuan first kicked Lu Ya, but seeing that she still didn't react, he became a little anxious and kicked her leg again.

At this moment, Huang Zhenjiang came in with two towels.

Zhang Beichuan gripped the fruit knife in his hand even tighter; he could now break free of the rope binding his hands.

But he wasn't confident he could subdue such a vicious thug on his own, so he could only wait and see.

Without saying a word, Huang Zhenjiang stuffed Lu Ya's mouth shut before turning to look at Zhang Beichuan, who was extremely nervous.

"Where's the money? I know you have money, don't try anything funny!"

Hearing this, Zhang Beichuan felt less nervous; it seemed this person was only after money.

Just then, he caught a glimpse of Lu Ya sitting half-sitting against the wall beside him out of the corner of his eye, and his eyelids seemed to twitch.

"The money is under the glass counter in the shop in front, in a locked drawer inside the counter."

Huang Zhenjiang stepped forward, squatted down, and patted Zhang Beichuan's face with his dagger.

"You better behave yourself. If I go and don't find it, hmph..."

"Brother, I know whether money or life is more important." Zhang Beichuan tried to keep his voice calm so as not to upset him.

"Where's the key?"

"The key is in the drawer of the table against the wall in my room." Zhang Beichuan was obviously lying to him; the money wasn't in 1986 at all.

He did this simply to buy time so that he would have a chance to wake Lu Ya up.

Only when the two of them joined forces could they have a chance of subduing Huang Zhenjiang.

Huang Zhenjiang nodded in satisfaction, stuffed a towel into his mouth, and turned to leave the storage room.

Zhang Beichuan watched the person leave, then with a strong effort, the rope binding his hands immediately broke. He then took the opportunity to kick Lu Ya, who was about to wake up, and quickly cut the rope binding his feet.

With a muffled groan, Lu Ya woke up, feeling dizzy at first, before realizing the situation before her.

Their eyes met. Although Lu Ya's mind was still a little dizzy, her police instincts immediately calmed her down. She winked hard at Zhang Beichuan and then slightly raised her hands, which were tied behind her back.

Zhang Beichuan understood, quickly cut the last loop of rope around his feet, and ran to her side to cut the rope.

Once free, Lu Ya immediately sat up, flexing her wrists as she asked in a low voice.

"Who is that person? Do you know him?"

"I don't know, he's probably eyeing the money in the store," Zhang Beichuan said in a low voice. "He went to find the money, right at the front counter."

Lu Ya nodded, picked up the cut piece of hemp rope from the ground, quickly tied a slipknot in her hand, and then gestured for Zhang Beichuan to find some useful tools.

Zhang Beichuan glanced at the things in the room, picked up the brick he had used to line the chicken coop a while ago, weighed it in his hand, and realized it was better than his bare hands.

"Wait for him to come in, then I'll subdue his upper body, and you attack his lower body," Lu Ya whispered, before slipping to the side of the wall near the door. "Be careful."

Although she didn't want Zhang Beichuan to get involved, there was no other way now.

Although she had studied martial arts, the disparity in strength between her and a vicious adult man was still too great, and she was not 100% confident that she could subdue him on her own.

Zhang Beichuan gripped the brick in his hand, hid behind the door, and nodded.

Less than two minutes later, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

"Damn it! You dare to play me!" Huang Zhenjiang pushed open the door and stormed in, still clutching the dagger in his hand. His face was flushed from not finding the money. "I'm going to get my money today—"

Before she finished speaking, Lu Ya pounced like lightning, suddenly looping the rope around his neck while kicking him in the back of the knee!

Caught off guard, Huang Zhenjiang was pulled back by the choke, but he reacted quickly and stabbed the dagger behind him with his other hand.

Lu Ya dodged to the side, but he grabbed the rope.

Seeing this, Zhang Beichuan slammed a brick into Huang Zhenjiang's forehead.

"Bang!"

Huang Zhenjiang's body stiffened suddenly, his eyes were somewhat blank, and he felt a warm sensation on his scalp.

Zhang Beichuan was also startled. He was afraid of killing him with a brick, so he didn't dare to use his full strength. He thought he could at least knock him unconscious.

I didn't expect this guy to be so tough and resilient; he's still standing!

Huang Zhenjiang winced in pain, clutching the rope around his neck. Knowing that things couldn't end well today, he forcefully broke free from Lu Ya, turned around, and slashed Zhang Beichuan's face with his knife.

Zhang Beichuan retreated hastily, the blade grazing his chest and tearing a gash in his clothes. The pain made him instinctively back away.

Huang Zhenjiang's eyes were bloodshot. He turned around and lunged at Lu Ya without regard for anything else, his dagger aimed straight at her heart.

They wanted to deal with this troublesome female police officer first, and then deal with Zhang Beichuan.

"They all have to die!"

The moment the two met, Lu Ya immediately recognized Huang Zhenjiang. Looking at the dagger so close to her face, she knew that things were going to be tough for her today.

At this critical moment, Zhang Beichuan pounced and slammed into Huang Zhenjiang from the side!

The dagger grazed Zhang Beichuan's ribs, leaving a trail of blood.

Zhang Beichuan and Huang Zhenjiang fell to the ground together. Zhang Beichuan tried his best to push him away, but it was no use against a ruthless bandit like Huang Zhenjiang.

Huang Zhenjiang straddled Zhang Beichuan, raised his dagger to stab him, but Zhang Beichuan held his wrists firmly with both hands.

Lu Ya picked up a fallen brick and slammed it down with all her might, shattering it into several pieces.

Zhang Beichuan watched as Huang Zhenjiang's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the side, panting heavily, a wave of fear washing over him.

"Are you alright?" Lu Ya rushed over, looking anxiously at his clothes stained with blood, and asked hurriedly.

When Zhang Beichuan came to his senses, he felt a burning pain in his ribs, and when he touched them, they were covered in blood.

"It's nothing, just a cut." He finished speaking, panting heavily, and said with a wry smile, "I thought I was going to die here today..."

Seeing that his wound was still bleeding, Lu Ya quickly picked up a towel, her movements gentle yet efficient.

"Thank you for what you did earlier."

"It's alright, didn't you save me too?"
