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

Snapped--! ! !

A sharp, resounding slap rang out abruptly in the deathly silent VIP ward.

The echo buzzed in everyone's eardrums.

Zhao Tianba was completely stunned by the slap.

He felt as if his left cheek had been branded with a red-hot iron, and a burning pain instantly spread. Half of his head went numb and he lost consciousness.

A trickle of blood slowly oozed from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto his pristine white hospital gown like a glaring plum blossom.

He turned his head in disbelief, looking at the beautiful face before him that was still cold, but now held a hint of resoluteness and disgust.

"Qingcheng...you..."

"This slap was for Lin Chen."

Ye Qingcheng's voice was devoid of any warmth; every word seemed to have been pulled from an ice cellar, striking Zhao Tianba's heart.

Zhao Tianba's eyes widened instantly, and the humiliation of being beaten was instantly replaced by a stronger, absurd anger.

"For some loser? A lousy bodyguard?! Ye Qingcheng, you actually hit me for him?!"

"He's not a loser."

Ye Qingcheng looked at him, her eyes filled with unprecedented contempt and disgust.

"He is the hero who risked his life to save me."

"And you,"

She paused, then pronounced the verdict, word by word.

"He's a rat who plots a notorious dirty trick in the gutter."

Just then, a commotion broke out outside the ward.

A well-dressed, pot-bellied middle-aged man, leading a group of menacing lawyers in black, barged in.

It was Zhao Tianba's father, Zhao Dehai, the chairman of the Zhao Group.

"Who! Who dares to touch my son, Zhao Dehai!"

When Zhao Dehai saw his son handcuffed to the bed and the slap mark on his face, he was instantly enraged and roared at Su Qingge.

"Is this how you police handle cases?! Huh?! I'm going to sue you all! I'll sue everyone involved in this until they're all fired!"

Faced with this clamor, Su Qingge simply looked at him coldly, as if he were a clown jumping around.

Lin Chen, who had been leaning against the door in silence, slowly moved.

He put one hand in his pocket, and with his still relatively intact hand, slowly took out his phone and turned on the screen.

Then, he pointed at Zhao Dehai with his hands, which were wrapped in thick gauze and were still bleeding.

The movement was light, yet carried immense weight.

"Chairman Zhao."

Lin Chen's voice was flat, revealing no emotion.

"I've had my colleagues in the tech department recover the anonymous transaction records from the dark web."

"I also traced the source of the Bitcoin wallet address that your son used to pay commissions."

"Oh, right, there are also several recordings of his phone conversations with that butler, Uncle Fu. The content is quite interesting."

With each word Lin Chen spoke, the color drained from Zhao Dehai's face.

When Lin Chen finished speaking, Zhao Dehai's pampered face turned ashen, like that of a dead man.

Lin Chen looked at him, a cold smile curving his lips.

"So instead of wasting your breath shouting in court here."

"Why don't you hurry up and hire the best criminal defense lawyer and think about how to get your son a life sentence instead of a suspended death sentence?"

These words caused Zhao Dehai to sway violently; had the lawyer behind him not caught him in time, he would probably have collapsed to the ground.

When Zhao Tianba, lying in his hospital bed, heard the words "death sentence with reprieve" and "life imprisonment," his last nerve snapped completely!

His eyes rolled back, his body went limp, and he slid off the bed, collapsing to the floor.

A foul-smelling liquid quickly spread from his crotch, soaking a large area of ​​the expensive floor.

He was so scared he peed his pants.

Lin Chen instinctively covered his nose and waved to the two detectives next to him with a look of disgust.

"Take it away, it's too pungent."

The entire arrest process was swift and efficient.

Ye Qingcheng didn't look at the desperate father and son again.

Her gaze remained fixed on Lin Chen's back the entire time.

Looking at him, so nonchalant, as if he had just dealt with a fly.

The iceberg in her heart melted completely at that moment.

It transformed into a pool of spring water called "感动" (moved/touched).

Lin Chen felt that burning gaze and had just muttered to himself, "This woman's eyes are weird," when the pleasant system notification sounded in his mind at an inopportune moment.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have perfectly completed the hidden quest: Guardian Angel's Tears!]

[Mission Rating: S-Rank!]

[Rewards being processed...]

[Rewards distributed: 500 million cash, Grandmaster-level combat proficiency, and God-level hidden weapon proficiency. All rewards have been automatically distributed!]

A warm current surged from Lin Chen's limbs and bones, washing over his body damaged by the forced outburst.

Immediately afterwards, two massive streams of information, like a sudden awakening, flooded into his mind!

[Grandmaster-level combat proficiency: A mastery of the essence of all fighting techniques from ancient and modern times, both East and West! The host is no longer bound by any particular move; every punch and kick becomes a killing blow! Every muscle in the body transforms into a most instinctive fighting weapon! One can instantly predict the trajectory of all the opponent's attacks, discern their slightest weakness, and defeat them with a single strike!]

[Divine-level mastery of concealed weapons: Everything can be used as a weapon; even a falling flower or a plucked leaf can injure! The host's control over power has reached an unparalleled level. Any object in their hand—be it a steel needle, a pebble, a coin, or even a playing card—can be transformed into a deadly weapon capable of piercing steel plates! Unfailingly accurate, silent, and deadly!]

As Lin Chen felt the earth-shattering changes in his body and mind, he couldn't help but slightly curl up the corners of his mouth.

These injuries were worth it!

Cool!

……

a few days later.

The case of the Joker's hired assassination has been settled.

Because of this shocking scandal, the Zhao Group's stock price plummeted and it teetered on the brink of collapse.

Lin Chen, on the other hand, became a legendary figure in Jiangcheng's police force.

To express her sincerest gratitude, Ye Qingcheng extended a warm invitation to Lin Chen to recuperate at her private estate in the suburbs for a period of time.

Lin Chen originally wanted to refuse.

Just kidding. Wouldn't it be better to spend that time at the police station slacking off and having some tea?

However, Ye Qingcheng directly used her trump card.

She said that if Lin Chen didn't go, it would be disrespectful to her, Ye Qingcheng, and the entire Ye family.

Most importantly, there is a “huge” security consultant fee that needs to be settled in person.

When Lin Chen heard the word "huge sum," the refusal he was about to utter caught in his throat, but he swallowed it back down.

He stated righteously that as a security consultant with professional ethics, he must be fully responsible for the subsequent safety of his clients!

go with!

We absolutely have to go!
