You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

early morning.

The first ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and cast dappled shadows in the pristine white hospital room through the gaps in the blinds.

A night of torrential rain washed away the city's grime, leaving the air so fresh it was invigorating.

Lin Chen stretched and felt completely relaxed.

Thanks to the [Advanced Physique Enhancer], the wound on my arm no longer hurts much, leaving only a slight tingling sensation, which is a sign that new flesh is growing rapidly.

Enjoying the rare tranquility, Lin Chen even considered whether he should stay in the hospital for two more days, as if it were a paid vacation.

Just then.

"Click".

The door to the ward was gently pushed open from the outside.

A graceful figure walked in; it was Su Qingge.

She changed out of her police uniform and into a well-tailored beige casual suit. Her long hair was casually tied back, giving her a more sophisticated and intellectual look, rather than the sharpness of a policewoman.

She was carrying a delicate insulated lunchbox.

"woke up?"

Su Qingge placed the lunchbox on the bedside table, her voice returning to its usual cool tone, but the undisguised concern in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.

"My mom makes pigeon soup by hand, which is good for healing wounds."

As she spoke, she opened the lunchbox, and a rich aroma instantly filled the ward.

"I've taken care of the formalities. After you finish eating, I'll take you home."

"I can't accept this. It's too much trouble for Captain Su to come and pick me up personally."

Lin Chen said politely.

Su Qingge rolled her eyes at him and snorted coldly.

"Stop talking nonsense. You are an advisor to our Major Crimes Unit. This injury is considered a work-related injury. It is the police force's responsibility and obligation to pick you up from the hospital."

What a responsibility and obligation!

Lin Chen chuckled inwardly, just about to say something.

The door to the ward was pushed open once again.

This time, two figures appeared at the door.

Su Ke'er and Jiang Tingxue actually came together!

Su Ke'er wore a pink strawberry dress today, making her look even more charming and cute. She was carrying a fruit basket and had a sweet smile on her face.

Jiang Tingxue, standing beside her, was still wearing a white coat and frameless glasses. She had a cool and aloof demeanor, but she was holding a thermos cup filled with goji berry and red date tea that emitted a faint medicinal aroma.

"Brother Lin Chen, we've come to pick you up from the hospital!"

Su Ke'er ran in happily.

Jiang Tingxue followed her in, adjusted her glasses, and said in a calm tone:

"I've looked up some cases about the combination of tetrodotoxin and ancient breath-holding exercises, and I have some questions that I need to ask you in person."

As soon as they finished speaking, their gazes fell simultaneously on Su Qingge, who was already standing by the bed.

And the pigeon soup she had just served, still steaming hot.

The air seemed to be sucked out in that instant.

The temperature suddenly dropped to freezing point.

The previously harmonious atmosphere vanished instantly, and an invisible spark flashed wildly between the three women.

The ultimate battleground erupted without warning!

Su Qingge slowly straightened up, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and sharply scanned the two of them before launching the first attack.

"Lin Chen is an advisor to our police force. Picking him up from the hospital is our duty, so we won't trouble you two."

The tone was full of assertive assertion of sovereignty.

"You can't say that, Qingge."

Su Ke'er immediately objected.

She ran to Lin Chen's bedside, hugged his uninjured arm, and shook it coquettishly.

"Brother Lin Chen must have been terrified last night. He needs to listen to me sing on the way home to relax! My car stereo is the best!"

Jiang Tingxue did not participate in the verbal dispute.

She silently unscrewed the thermos in her hand, held it to Lin Chen's lips, and said in an unquestionable tone.

"You have lost too much blood and are deficient in both qi and blood. Drink this to replenish your qi and blood."

"Academic issues are best discussed on the go, as every second counts."

The tripartite talks instantly turned into a three-way standoff!

Lin Chen was caught in the middle, feeling extremely overwhelmed.

To the left was Su Qingge's icy, deathly gaze; to the right, Su Ke'er's expectant, starry eyes; and in front of her stood Jiang Tingxue's unyielding professional attitude.

This is not paradise.

This is clearly hell!

Just as his head was throbbing with pain, the system's voice rang out in his mind with a gloating tone.

[Ding! The host has been detected to be in the center of an extremely dangerous battleground, with a survival chance approaching zero.]

The system offers two optimal solutions: A, suggesting the host take it all; B, suggesting the host die on the spot.

"roll!"

Lin Chen cursed inwardly.

In a flash, a plan came to him!

Lin Chen's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

His brows were furrowed, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

He suddenly clutched his stomach and let out a painful groan.

"Ouch……"

"Ouch... my stomach... my stomach hurts so much..."

His sudden change instantly attracted the attention of all three women.

The tense atmosphere from just moments ago was immediately replaced by worry.

"What's wrong, Lin Chen? Are you feeling unwell?"

Su Qingge asked nervously.

"Brother Lin Chen, don't scare me!"

Su Ke'er was so anxious she was about to cry.

"Did the wound from last night aggravate your internal organs?"

Jiang Tingxue immediately switched to doctor mode as well.

Lin Chen weakly waved his hand, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"It's nothing... I probably just caught a chill last night. I'll just go to the restroom..."

Upon hearing this, the three women dared not stop them any longer and quickly made way for them.

Lin Chen felt like he had been granted a pardon. He scrambled off the bed, clutching his stomach, and rushed into the bathroom attached to the ward.

"Bang!"

The sound of the lock clicking shut rang out crisply.

Leaning against the cold door, Lin Chen let out a long sigh of relief.

saved.

He quickly glanced around the restroom, his gaze settling on the ventilation window.

This is the third floor.

For an ordinary person, this height is enough to break their leg.

But for Lin Chen, whose physical abilities are ten times that of an average person, it was no different from jumping down a staircase.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Lin Chen pushed open the window and flipped out as nimbly as a cat, grabbing a thick drainpipe on the outer wall with one hand.

With a gentle push off the wall with both legs, he slid down silently.

Three seconds later.

Lin Chen landed steadily, his knees slightly bent to absorb all the force, without making a sound.

He dusted off his hands, which were not actually dust, straightened his slightly wrinkled hospital gown, and walked nonchalantly to the roadside.

He whistled loudly at a passing taxi.

"Driver, to the Municipal Public Security Bureau!"

……

Ten minutes later.

In the ward.

"Why haven't they come out yet?"

Su Ke'er looked at the bathroom door with some worry.

"Could it be... that he fainted in there from the pain?"

Su Qingge's brows furrowed tightly.

Jiang Tingxue's expression hardened, and she made a decision immediately.

"We can't wait any longer!"

The three exchanged a glance and reached a consensus.

Su Qingge stepped forward, raised her long leg, and delivered a perfectly executed side kick, striking the door lock hard!

"Bang--!!!"

With a loud bang, the lock cylinder shattered, and the bathroom door swung open!

However, it was completely empty.

Only the wide-open window and the slightly mocking breeze blowing in from outside.

Su Ke'er and Jiang Tingxue were stunned.

Su Qingge's gaze swept across the entire room in an instant, finally settling on the open window.

Her beautiful phoenix eyes went from astonishment to shock, and finally turned into a cold rage.

A full three seconds passed.

Three voices, filled with boundless rage and gritted teeth, boomed in unison in the ward!

"Lin Chen!!!"
