Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

You have triggered a special mission: [Heroic Act]!

[Mission Name]: Heroic Act!

[Mission Objective]: Subdue the knife-wielding assailant inside the supermarket.

[Task Rewards]: 88 cash, +5 to Constitution, +5 to Charm, +5 to Health, and +3 to Inventory!

Swish!
As soon as Jiang Tao took a step, a bright blue system panel suddenly appeared in the void in front of him.

Urgent situation.

Jiang Tao didn't have time to check the task details and rewards on the panel.

Even without triggering a special mission, he wouldn't stand idly by if he saw something like this.

Of course, it would be best if you could also complete a special mission and receive a reward while performing an act of bravery.

Teng Teng Teng!
With a physique of 150+, Jiang Tao has not only greatly improved his physical fitness, but also gained more explosive power and faster speed in short sprints.

He and Xu Li were just less than 30 meters away from the fallen saleswoman and the thug.

It's too late to say.

From the moment Jiang Tao decided to intervene and save the person until he rushed to the assailant who had raised his cleaver high, ready to continue his attack, less than 10 seconds had passed.

This was despite being blocked by a number of panicked customers who were fleeing towards the exit.

If there are no obstacles in the way, he can unleash his full power.

It might only take 3 to 5 seconds to cover 30 meters.

"Help! Help! Don't kill me..."

The female shop assistant, lying on the ground, prayed and kicked her legs wildly, desperately trying to survive the knife wound.

The burly man remained silent throughout, raising the cleaver in his hand as if to continue hacking.

Bang!
Suddenly, a tremendous force slammed into the burly man wielding the knife.

The burly man was as if he had been hit by a speeding Dayun heavy truck.

Its massive body flew seven or eight meters away with a loud thud, crashing heavily into the liquor shelf next to it.

Bang! !
Wow~Wow~
The shelf overturned and pinned the burly man underneath.

Various bottles of liquor displayed on the shelves were smashed to the ground with a clatter, and a strong smell of alcohol instantly filled the room.

"This……"

"wild!"

"Great, that's amazing!"

"I can't believe there are such amazing people in real life!"

Several passersby who were desperately fleeing nearby stopped in their tracks upon seeing the scene before them.

Everyone stared at Jiang Tao, who had just kicked the burly man away.

The power of Jiang Tao's kick just now has exceeded everyone's understanding of human strength in the real world!

The strong man was burly and strong, weighing at least 180 to 200 pounds.

Jiang Tao kicked him like a football, sending him flying seven or eight meters. The power of that kick was terrifying!
If the Chinese national football team players had even one-tenth the strength of those players, they would have already broken out of Asia and made it to the world stage.

"Hang in there, we've already called for emergency help."

"Is there a doctor here? Come and help quickly!"

After kicking the burly man away, Jiang Tao walked a few steps to the saleswoman who had fallen to the ground, squatted down next to her, comforted her, and then shouted loudly to the surroundings.

"husband!"

Xu Li also rushed against the crowd to Jiang Tao's side. Seeing that he was safe and sound, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She had also seen Jiang Tao's amazing kick.

Xu Li also gained a clearer understanding of her husband's capabilities.

But no matter how capable Jiang Tao was, he was facing a knife-wielding assailant whose mental state was unknown, and she was constantly on edge.

"It's alright, honey, don't be afraid, don't panic."

Jiang Tao reached out and took Xu Li's hand, which was a little cold from fear, and said something to comfort her.

"Thank you, thank you..."

Whether from excessive blood loss or from being pushed to the limit, the female sales clerk fainted before she could finish a single sentence from Jiang Tao.

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu!"

"Help! Someone help us! Is there a doctor? Someone please help us!"

A middle-aged woman dressed in supermarket clothing rushed to Jiang Tao and the unconscious woman, shouting for help from those around them.

"I'm a doctor. She needs to stop the bleeding first. Do you have tampons at your supermarket? If not, a clean towel will do!"

A middle-aged man wearing glasses hesitated for a moment, then stopped and joined the first aid effort.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The middle-aged woman who had just called out "President Gu" hurried off to find the necessary medical supplies after hearing the doctor's instructions.

Wow!

Suddenly, there was another loud noise behind me.

The burly man who had just been kicked seven or eight meters away by Jiang Tao actually pushed away the shelf that was pressing down on him and stood up from the ground again!
At this moment, the burly man's face and body were covered in cuts from shards of glass, and he was covered in blood, looking like a blood-soaked figure.

Furthermore, he still firmly held the kitchen knife he had previously used to attack people.

The dripping blood cleaver, combined with his current bloodied appearance, makes him look even more terrifying!
Even a glimpse of him from afar sends chills down the spines of ordinary people, who scream and flee for their lives.

"what!!!"

"Daddy, daddy, daddy... Waaaaah..."

"Run, run!"

"..."

The male doctor who had just chosen to stay felt like crying when he saw the burly man stand up again.

He regretted getting involved!

He has elderly parents and young children to support; the whole family depends on him for their livelihood.

He didn't want anything to happen because of his so-called "heroic act".

Although he is a doctor, he is also an ordinary person.

When faced with danger, it's only natural to want to retreat and run far away.

"husband……"

Xu Li gripped Jiang Tao's hand even tighter, her gaze towards the bloodied man filled with fear.

"I'll take care of everything. Everything will be alright. Honey, you stay here and wait for me quietly."

Jiang Tao reached out and patted the back of Xu Li's hand, pulling his own hand out of her tightly clenched palm.

"Honey, be careful..."

Xu Li looked at Jiang Tao with teary eyes, her gaze filled with worry for him.

"what!!!"

suddenly!

The bloodied man with the knife shouted as he charged toward Jiang Tao's location.

"Quickly open!"

After quickly instructing Xu Li, Jiang Tao moved to shield her behind him, facing the burly man with a knife who was charging towards him.

But after the recent exchange, Jiang Tao had gained a certain understanding of the strongman's strength.

He only has his strength and physique; he's nothing special.

They weren't the kind of trained fighters like Tian Linan and his ilk.

Therefore, what appeared to be an extremely dangerous scene to outsiders posed absolutely no threat to Jiang Tao.

He can kick his opponent away once, and he can kick them away twice or three times.

Even if the strong man were given 100 chances, he wouldn't be able to threaten Jiang Tao in the slightest or hurt him in the slightest.

Swish!
Jiang Tao moved swiftly and rushed out, trying to keep the "battlefield" as far away from Xu Li as possible. Bang!
Before the burly man could bring down his cleaver, Jiang Tao punched him right in the face!
Bang! !
There was another loud noise.

The burly man was knocked to the ground by Jiang Tao's punch. His massive body staggered a few steps to the side before collapsing onto a shelf.

"what!!!"

The burly man roared and quickly got up from the ground.

His eye socket was bruised from Jiang Tao's punch, but he charged at Jiang Tao again as if he felt no pain.

Fortunately, he no longer had a knife in his hand and was now unarmed, which greatly reduced the threat he posed to Jiang Tao.

Bang!
Jiang Tao raised his foot and kicked him over again.

The burly man had met his match with Jiang Tao today; he couldn't do anything to Jiang Tao at all.

Jiang Tao bullied him just like he would bully kindergarten children.

After being kicked away by Jiang Tao seven or eight times, the burly man finally exhausted himself and could no longer get up. He lay on the supermarket floor, panting heavily.

Meanwhile, several police officers in uniform arrived late.

Seeing the scene in disarray and with large amounts of blood, the officers immediately became alert.

"Officer, that madman..."

The supermarket's duty manager arrived at the scene when Jiang Tao kicked the burly man away for the third time.

He witnessed the entire incident.

The task of explaining the situation to the police officers naturally fell to him, the person in charge.

The suspect was apprehended, the crowd was evacuated, the scene was cordoned off for evidence collection, and the supermarket was temporarily closed...

After several police officers arrived at the scene, they carried out their tasks in an orderly manner.

at the same time.

Many videos shot from the perspective of passersby have also begun to circulate on platforms such as Weibo, Kuaishou, and Douyin.

Although the supermarket was in chaos at the time, some daring and nosy people still took out their phones to film the scene.

They dared not step forward to stop the violence.

But once they saw someone take action, they were more eager than anyone else to film videos from the sidelines!
A public attack involving stabbing someone in a supermarket is certainly attention-grabbing!
"This is terrifying in broad daylight!"

"Oh my god, what happened to that saleswoman? Is there any follow-up?"

"Is this person crazy?! It's terrifying. It's best to stay away from people who seem abnormal in the future!"

"After seeing this, I'm too scared to go to the supermarket!"

"It's hard to believe that something like this could happen in the capital!"

"That brave young man is so cool! And so brave!"

"Holy crap, he kicked someone that far? Is this guy a soccer player?"

"The Chinese national football team should come and claim him right away! He's a promising talent!"

"Thank goodness this young man stepped in, otherwise with so many people in the supermarket, the consequences would have been unimaginable..."

"Hmm, why does this handsome guy look familiar? He seems to be one of the streamers I follow, but I can't remember which one?"

"No wonder he looked so familiar! It's Jiang, the one who can't escape!! It's him, it's definitely him! The missing person has returned!"

"Wow, it's true! Instead of running, he came here to do a good deed!"

"As expected of the streamer I follow, his sense of justice is off the charts! I'm a die-hard fan of Xiao Jiang from now on!"

Jiang Tao's act of bravery at the supermarket quickly became a trending topic.

Several related videos also became popular on Kuaishou and Douyin.

Furthermore, as time goes on, the rankings of several trending topics related to him continue to rise.

The fastest runner didn't run when faced with danger.

[The young man who bravely intervened is so handsome!]

[Good-looking, responsible, and courageous man goes viral!]

Many netizens followed the directions of insiders and found Jiang Tao's Weibo and Kuaishou accounts, and gave him a lot of attention.

Inadvertently insert willows and willows.

Jiang Tao's unintentional act unexpectedly made him famous again.

His Weibo followers and Kuaishou followers are increasing rapidly.

In less than an hour, the number of followers across all platforms increased by more than 10.

This rate of follower growth is something most people can only envy!

This time, he had everything going for him; it was like God had fed him right to the mouth.

Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling——

Jiang Tao's phone kept ringing before he could even finish dealing with things at the supermarket.

Friends and family who saw the trending topics or popular videos on Kuaishou and Douyin called to inquire about his situation.

Faced with everyone's concern, Jiang Tao knew that they meant well.

But the constant stream of phone calls was indeed overwhelming for him.

He could only post a status update on his WeChat Moments to let everyone know he was safe and thank them for their concern.

After posting this update, things quieted down, with only a few scattered phone calls.

……

"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 madman!"

"We probably won't be able to open our supermarket anymore!"

"Alas! What a bad year! What a bad year! Nothing but bad luck has happened this year!"

Inside a hotel across from the supermarket, Gu Hongsheng, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, solemnly thanked Jiang Tao.

Gu Hongsheng is the owner of the supermarket chain, and the woman who was injured by the strong man in the supermarket was his daughter, Gu Yao.

After receiving a call from the person in charge of the supermarket and hearing their report, Gu Hongsheng hurriedly arrived with his driver.

After the police station cordoned off the scene and collected evidence, they took several supermarket managers away to assist in the investigation.

Gu Hongsheng tried to persuade Jiang Tao to stay and expressed his sincere gratitude to him.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Jiang Tao hadn't stepped forward today...

His daughter, Gu Yao, and his supermarket will both go bankrupt.

After all, who would want to shop at a supermarket where someone has died? It's too creepy!
At this critical juncture, it would be good if another supermarket of similar size and quality were to open nearby.

It can instantly draw away more than half of the customer traffic from the supermarket!

"Mr. Gu, you're too kind. It's only right to stand up for what's right when you see something like that."

Jiang Tao chatted with Gu Hongsheng with a calm expression.

The benefits he received today far exceeded his expectations.

One aspect is the explosive growth in the number of fans across the entire network.

He also received a generous reward for completing the "Heroic Act" mission.

In today's incident, he, who had absolutely no connection with the supermarket chain, has become the biggest winner.

From Gu Hongsheng and Gu Yao's perspective, today's events were undoubtedly extremely terrible and unlucky.

But for Jiang Tao, it was a great thing that brought him immense benefits.

Indeed, people's joys and sorrows are not shared.

Jiang Tao was secretly delighted, but he couldn't show it in front of Gu Hongsheng, his "victim".

That would be really unfair.

“Mr. Jiang, words of thanks are not enough! No amount of thanks can express my gratitude to you.”

“I, Gu, am not one to be ungrateful. I am willing to transfer 5% of our supermarket's shares to you as a token of my gratitude.”

Gu Hongsheng didn't mince words with Jiang Tao; after expressing his gratitude, he directly showed his sincerity. (End of Chapter)
