Chapter 139 I'm Just a Passing-Through Professional Warrior

Ding Wancheng screamed and turned to run away without any regard for his image, but before he had gone far, his steps began to falter.

Finally, he fell to the ground with a thud.

I struggled several times but couldn't get up, as if all my strength had been drained away by the ghostly blue flames.

The combination of blood loss and the cursed fire was like two mountains, crushing Ding Wancheng to the ground.

slam-la-

Just then, a sudden downpour began.

Large raindrops poured down.

Wang Xi picked up the umbrella that had fallen to the side, raised it again, and slowly walked towards Ding Wancheng. The eerie blue flames on the other man's body continued to burn, completely unaffected by the rain.

It seems they won't stop until they've burned this person to a crisp.

This five-star elite-level powerhouse, the leader of the "Ghost Grid," lay sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, in a miserable state, on the verge of death.

"Wang Xi, don't kill him!"

Yu Zizi hurried out of the rain, followed closely by two police officers who held umbrellas for her.

A few raindrops pattered on her trench coat, but she didn't bother to wipe them off; her voice was hurried yet clear:
“Ding Wancheng possesses crucial intelligence; we must obtain his confession.”

Wang Xi glanced at the purple-haired woman and noticed that the woman's expression was serious, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

He hummed in agreement and nodded.

He raised his hand and hooked it, his five fingers forming a fist.

As the magic surged, the casting of "Frostfire Curse" was interrupted, and the blue flames on Ding Wancheng's body finally went out.

"Call the medical team!"

Yu Zizi gave the order in a deep voice and raised her hand to signal. A police officer behind her responded and quickly made a call through his earpiece.

Just then, Wang Xi also heard the prompt from Caius:
"Target defeated!"

"Does it possess the ability to capture 'Ding Wancheng'?"

'Yes. '

Wang Xi thought to himself.

Immediately afterwards, he saw light flowing around the man lying on the ground, converging into three orbs of light—one blue and two dark green—which flew into the man's brow.

'This defeat was quite fruitful.'

He had a smile on his face.

Today was worthwhile.

Soon, a small team of medical personnel in white coats arrived from a distance and began to treat Ding Wancheng. Several police officers then used a special device to restrain him before lifting him onto a stretcher and taking him away.

Yu Jiali, Lin Xiner, and the accompanying police officers rushed out of the building entrance and were all taken aback by the scene before them.

"Sis, what happened?"

Yu Jiali jogged over in the rain, frowned, and asked the purple-haired woman.

“Inspector Yu, please call me 'Sir' outside,” Yu Zizi said sternly. She seemed oblivious to the speechless look on Yu Jiali's face, and after a few simple explanations, added, “It’s all over, thanks to Mr. Wang Xi’s help.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Jiali turned to look at the black-haired young man holding the umbrella, her expression slightly complicated.

"no need to thank me."

Facing the woman's probing gaze, Wang Xi remained calm and said:

"I just happened to be passing by."

"I haven't even said anything yet."

The short-haired girl rolled her eyes.

She was on a mission today, and unlike usual, she didn't wear smoky makeup. Her bare face revealed a unique beauty.

"Moreover, if you had rashly interfered with official business and that shot had killed Ding Wancheng, I would have had a hard time explaining myself."

“I’m sorry.” Wang Xi’s expression turned serious. “As a professional warrior, I cannot stand idly by.”

"..."

Yu Jiali looked helpless.

Now that things had come to a satisfactory conclusion, she couldn't say anything more. After all, it was a fact that the other party had voluntarily assisted the police department in capturing the primary target of the operation.

At this moment, Chu Nai, who was the last to walk out of the building, noticed Wang Xi in the crowd. She was startled at first, and then quickly turned around, wanting to find a place to hide.

Xiao Yuzhe, however, ran over first.

"Section Chief Chu, it's a call from the bureau!"

He handed over the phone and said in a deep voice:
"The director seems very unhappy with your unauthorized actions this time. I have tried my best to explain to him..."

"Oh, I see."

Chu Nai simply nodded indifferently, giving a perfunctory response. Her eyes darted around, and in the end, she didn't even take the phone before quickly stepping into the rain and heading towards the hovercar.

But she hadn't taken two steps before she stopped again.

Because there was an extra umbrella overhead.

"Is it not disturbing your work?"

Wang Xi held the umbrella for her and smiled.

Chu Nai turned her head away, not daring to look at the young man's face, smoothed her hair, and stammered:

"N-no, I just came to help record the situation..."

Wang Xi looked at the silver-haired girl's tight-fitting combat suit, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

Even after all this, you're still blatantly lying.

"Oh," Wang Xi said, feigning sudden realization. "I see."

"Oh, right, Brother Xi." Chu Nai quickly changed the subject. "What are you doing here?"

"Just passing by, I lent a hand to the police department in their fight against criminals."

"Hmm?" The silver-haired girl looked at the young man in front of her, then glanced at the crowd not far away and Ding Wancheng, who was lying unconscious on the stretcher. She was slightly surprised and said, "That was you just now..."

"That guy is pretty skilled."

Wang Xi followed Chu Nai's gaze and looked behind him.

"It took a little effort."

"Brother Xi, are you alright?" Chu Nai asked, her face showing worry once again. "Next time—"

Before she could finish speaking, she felt a hand on her head.

"I'm not hurt," Wang Xi smiled. "Don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Chu Nai stared at him blankly.

Perhaps Wang Xi's progress was too rapid, leaving her momentarily stunned.

A little uncomfortable.

Now that her brother Xi can easily defeat even the leader of the "Ghost Grid"... she really doesn't need to worry about him as much as before.

Chu Nai smiled.

"Thank you, Xiao Nai."

"Huh?" She was stunned, looked up under the umbrella, and asked in confusion, "Why are you thanking me all of a sudden..." "The operation to eliminate 'Ghost Grid' is not under the jurisdiction of the Overlook Bureau; it is the responsibility of the Public Security Bureau."

Wang Xi looked at the busy crowd not far away and spoke softly.

“When I first joined Cupid Housekeeping, I was attacked by a member of this organization and suffered quite a few injuries... Thank you for standing up for me.”

"?!"

Chu Nai was stunned.

She never expected that her brother Xi knew everything; she had thought she had kept it a secret very well.

My heart started racing without me even realizing it.

At the same time, feeling embarrassed by the other person's sincere smile, she lowered her head.

"Brother Xi, please don't blame me for taking it upon myself."

"How could I blame you?"

Wang Xi raised his hand and handed over a rose.

——"Guardians of the Flowerbed"

"give you."

"So beautiful..." Chu Nai looked at the bright red roses in front of her and accepted them in surprise. "Thank you."

She tried to smell the rose, and her cheeks flushed slightly as she caught a whiff of its fragrance.

At this moment, Xiao Yuzhe, standing at the entrance of the building, looked at this scene with a look of utter disbelief.

How does Wang Xi know Section Chief Chu?

Moreover, the two were behaving intimately, their relationship clearly more than just friendship. What surprised him even more was seeing the usually aloof Section Chief Chu... showing a hint of shyness?
Suddenly, Xiao Yuzhe remembered the director's call, quickly answered it again, and gritted his teeth, saying:

"Hey Chief, Section Chief Chu didn't interfere with the police department's affairs... It's true, I asked her, she just happened to be passing by."

"Yes, I passed by while on a date."

Not long after.

Xiao Yuzhe hung up the phone and let out a long sigh. Looking at the two people under the umbrella in the rain, he shook his head with a sigh.

I have given so much for you.

...

...

Because of official business, Chu Nai could not stay at the scene for long, so she reluctantly said goodbye to Wang Xi and left in the black hovercar.

Before leaving, Wang Xi saw Xiao Yuzhe winking at him, seemingly trying to express something.

Wang Xi assumed it was a dry eye attack combined with late-stage hemifacial spasm.

By this time, a number of media reporters had gathered around, and some people who were unaware of the facts also came to join in the fun, chattering away.

Before Wang Xi could even greet Lin Xin'er and Yu Jiali, he saw them surrounded by a large group of reporters, with cameras and microphones flashing incessantly.

He took the opportunity to leave from the less crowded side.

Several reporters had already set their sights on him and swarmed around him.

"Are you Mr. Wang Xi?"

"..."

Relying on his strong physique, Wang Xi walked forward on his own. With a casual flick of his wrist, he swept aside the reporters blocking his way amidst gasps of surprise.

No one could stop him.

"Excuse me, could you please let me pass? My cat hasn't eaten yet."

He said this as he squeezed out of the crowd.

"Mr. Wang Xi! Even though you're wearing a mask, I recognized you at a glance!"

At that moment, a woman grabbed his clothes tightly and shouted loudly.

Wang Xi turned around and saw that the other person was the female reporter named "Fang Zi" from the interview site of the vocational skills assessment.

He even made a point of eating shrimp heads back then.

"Mr. Wang Xi! Your aura is so unique! No matter how many people are around, they can't hide your dazzling brilliance!"

The female reporter spoke at an astonishing speed.

"Please answer a few questions for me!"

"..."

Wang Xi had to admire the woman's dedication; she showered him with flattery in order to get an interview.

Although it is true.

"Sorry, I have something else to do."

Wang Xi had no intention of wasting time here. She easily broke free from Fang Zi's hand and quickly left.

Without turning his head, he said:

"I'm just a professional adventurer passing by."

...

...

at dusk.

"Meow!!"

A piercing meow came from the living room.

Wang Xi was sitting on the sofa watching TV when he turned his head at the sound and saw Liuli had turned into a three-colored ball of fur in the cat's bed, hissing incessantly at the surroundings.

Beside its den, a neat circle of black cat plush toys was arranged—trophies that Wang Xi had won from a shooting range a few days ago when he went on a date with Chu Nai.

"Hmm? I don't like it."

Wang Xi raised his eyebrows.

He had secretly placed the black cat doll there while Liuli was fast asleep, thinking he could give the child a surprise.

Unexpectedly, this directly triggered the "Happy Valley effect".

The glass was startled and became agitated.

"Master!" Liuli cried out in a panicked, girlish voice, leaping several times to huddle in his arms, trembling. "How—terrible!"

Wang Xi could only pat Sanhua's head and say a few words of comfort.

Once Liuli's shaking subsided, he turned his attention back to the television—it was an interview about the raid on the Black Steel Building that morning.

The interviewee was Lin Xin'er.

"...During this operation, I personally intercepted a communication between the criminal and the person behind it."

Lin Xin'er sat calmly on the stage.

"This person is An Haoyu, the general manager of the Shining Consortium's laboratory."

There was an uproar.
