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

In a corner of the stage, the air temperature seemed to have dropped to freezing point.

On one side are raging flames, and on the other is freezing ice.

With Su Qingge and Ye Qingcheng sandwiching Lin Chen in the middle, the invisible battlefield had already isolated the surrounding chaos from the outside world.

Those special police officers carrying riot shields kept their eyes down, even their breathing was subconsciously slowed down, for fear of becoming cannon fodder.

This is fucking more exciting than the chandelier falling down earlier!

Lin Chen felt completely overwhelmed, his back was burning with pain, and the gazes of the two young ladies in front of him were even more piercing than his wounds.

One was all business, constantly mentioning "police takeover," but the possessiveness in his eyes was almost overflowing.

The other is gentle yet firm, never mentioning personal feelings, but clearly stating "I am responsible for my people," domineering to the point of brooking no argument.

If this stalemate continues, forget about catching the murderer; he'll be tortured to death by the glares of these two queens.

Lin Chen's heart stirred.

[Basic Hypnotic Suggestion]!

He took a deep breath, leaned forward slightly, and spoke in a deep, magnetic voice that seemed to carry some mysterious power, close to the ears of both women.

To Ye Qingcheng, he said, "President Ye, trust me, the case is important. I will take good care of myself."

To Su Qingge, he said, "Captain Su, the murderer hasn't gone far. Business is important. Don't let personal emotions affect your judgment."

The voice was very soft, yet it seemed to possess a magical power, directly piercing through the tense nerve defenses of the two people.

Ye Qingcheng's hands, which were tightly gripping his sleeves, suddenly loosened, and her originally sharp, piercing phoenix eyes showed a moment of confusion and bewilderment.

She felt that Lin Chen's voice was like a warm spring breeze, instantly soothing all the anxiety and unease in her heart, making her subconsciously want to believe and obey.

On the other side, Su Qingge's tense face also paused slightly, and the murderous aura around her seemed to deflate a little like a punctured balloon.

The chaotic anger and bitterness in her mind were suppressed by this simple sentence, and reason regained its footing.

It's now!

Seizing this golden opportunity, Lin Chen decisively broke free from Ye Qingcheng's grasp, turned around, and grabbed the still somewhat dazed Su Qingge.

"The case is urgent; we must return to the station immediately to analyze the data!"

"Mr. Ye, please speak with your medical team first. I promise I'll give you an explanation before dawn!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already grabbed Su Qingge and strode through the chaotic crowd, rushing towards the hotel exit.

Ye Qingcheng stood there until the two figures disappeared through the doorway before she suddenly came to her senses.

She looked at her empty palms, then at the chaotic stage, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

……

The sirens wailed, piercing the night sky.

Black police SUVs weaved wildly through traffic.

Su Qingge was driving, her pretty face still cold enough to frost over, but her knuckles gripping the steering wheel were turning white.

She couldn't resist and quickly glanced at Lin Chen's back through the rearview mirror.

There, the expensive suit was soaked in blood, which had congealed into a dark red color, a shocking sight.

"You just love playing the hero!"

Su Qingge's voice was cold and hard, as if it were squeezed out from between her teeth.

"Do we really have to wait until the wound gets infected and we have to have our leg amputated before we realize our mistake?"

"The Third Municipal Hospital is just ahead at the intersection. Go there now to treat the wound. That's an order!"

Lin Chen leaned against the passenger seat, his face pale from blood loss, but his eyes remained bright.

He looked at his reflection in the car window and smiled indifferently.

"He won't die."

"This little injury is nothing compared to catching that rat."

He turned his head, looked at Su Qingge's tense profile, and his tone became serious.

"Back at the station, the technical department must have already obtained the hotel's surveillance footage. We must find clues about the repairman before they completely destroy the data!"

Su Qingge bit her lower lip tightly, her chest heaving.

That bastard! Doesn't he know how to take care of his own body?!

In the end, reason prevailed over emotion.

At the next intersection, the SUV let out a reluctant roar, turned around, and sped off towards the Municipal Bureau.

……

Technical Section, Criminal Investigation Detachment, Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau.

The lights were on, but the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Li Mingyu stood with his hands on his hips, spitting as he roared at a group of technicians.

"Useless! They're all useless!"

"You can't even recover a surveillance video? The Grand Hyatt Hotel has such a top-notch security system, and you're telling me the data was physically erased?"

He pointed at the large, snowy screen of the main computer, his face turning red with anger.

"I don't care what methods you use, even if you have to gnaw at it with your teeth, you have to find that damn repairman!"

The technicians all kept their heads down, barely daring to breathe, their faces filled with frustration and helplessness.

The other party is a top-tier hacker who used extremely sophisticated methods. They set up an irreversible data self-destruct program from the source, which is something that technicians of their level simply cannot solve.

Just then, the door to the technical department was pushed open.

Lin Chen and Su Qingge walked in one after the other.

When Li Mingyu saw Lin Chen, he was first taken aback, then his face revealed undisguised mockery and schadenfreude.

"Hey, isn't this our great hero Lin?"

He spoke in a sarcastic tone, his voice not loud, but loud enough for everyone in the office to hear.

"Are you addicted to playing the hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress role? What's wrong? Why aren't you there with your CEO Ye? What are you doing back in our little temple?"

"I'm warning you, this is the core department of the police station, not a place for a reckless brute like you!"

Lin Chen completely ignored him, as if he were nothing more than air.

He walked straight to the main control computer with the snowy screen and pushed aside the helpless operator next to him.

Seeing that he was being ignored, Li Mingyu was instantly enraged. He rushed forward and reached out to grab Lin Chen's shoulder.

"What are you doing! This is classified police equipment! What right do you, a mere external consultant, have to touch it!"

"stop!"

Su Qingge gave a cold shout, her eyes sharp as knives, instantly freezing Li Mingyu's outstretched hand in mid-air.

"Let him investigate!"

Li Mingyu's face instantly turned a deep purplish-red. He stared intently at Lin Chen, his eyes filled with jealousy and resentment that were almost tangible.

Lin Chen had already sat down.

The moment his fingers touched the cold keyboard.

His entire demeanor suddenly changed!

That usual laziness and unruliness vanished without a trace, replaced by an absolute confidence and focus that seemed to be in complete control!

[God-level hacking skills], unleashed!

The next second, everyone present witnessed a scene they would never forget!

Lin Chen's ten fingers transformed into countless blurry afterimages, dancing wildly across the keyboard!

"Crackling sound—!!!"

The knocking sound was not something a human could make!

That's not typing, that's a barrage of needles! It's a Gatling gun roaring!

The entire keyboard seemed to be groaning and trembling, and even emitted a faint smell of burning due to the terrifying speed!

On the screen, that damned snowflake disappeared instantly!

Instead, a waterfall of green code, like a cascading Milky Way, flooded the screen!

Firewall! Data link! Logic trap! Self-destruct program!

Under Lin Chen's divine hands, all solid barriers were as fragile as paper, torn apart, broken, and reassembled with overwhelming force!

All the technicians present, including Li Mingyu, were completely dumbfounded!

They all gaped, their eyes wide open, as if they had witnessed a miracle!

This...this is fucking human-level hand speed?!

Three minutes!

Just three minutes!

"Done."

Lin Chen pressed the last Enter key, and the torrential pounding stopped abruptly.

He leaned back in his chair and casually uttered two words.
