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

Lin Chen casually placed his hands on his waist and strolled leisurely toward the woods where the helicopter had crashed.

When he arrived at the scene, the wreckage of the helicopter was still burning fiercely, emitting a pungent smell of aviation fuel.

On a grassy field a dozen meters away from the wreckage, Ghost Hand was crawling on the ground, his face covered in blood and looking utterly wretched.

His legs were completely broken when the plane crashed, his expensive Tang suit was burned to shreds, and he looked like an old dog struggling for its last breath.

Hearing footsteps, Ghost Hand turned around with difficulty.

When he saw Lin Chen's ambiguous smile reflected in the firelight, Ghost Hand's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Are you...a human or a ghost...?"

Ghost Hand's voice trembled violently, and he no longer possessed the arrogant and commanding air he had before.

He completely broke down.

The escape room, which he was so proud of, with its perfect physical traps and foolproof escape routes, was like a kindergarten child's trick in front of this young man. It was crushed one by one!

"I am the living Yama, whom you cannot afford to offend."

Lin Chen walked up to him, looking down at him with no pity in his eyes.

"Thirty years have passed. It's time for you, a rat hiding in the gutter, to see the light of day."

Just then, the sound of sirens blared in the distance.

Red and blue police lights tore through the night as more than a dozen SWAT riot control vehicles and police cars roared in and surrounded the grove of trees.

The car door opened, and Su Qingge was the first to rush out.

She was still wearing her smart police uniform, but her pretty face was full of anxiety and panic, and even her breathing became rapid.

When she saw Lin Chen standing unharmed in the firelight, Su Qingge's eyes instantly reddened.

She no longer cared about her aloof image as the head of the serious crimes unit, and rushed over to hug Lin Chen tightly!

"You bastard! You scared me to death, you know! I thought you'd drowned in the air-raid shelter!"

Su Qingge's voice was clearly choked with sobs as she ran her hands all over Lin Chen's body, checking for any injuries.

Feeling the trembling of the soft, warm body in his arms, Lin Chen felt a warmth in his heart. He wrapped his arms around her slender waist and gently comforted her.

"Fool, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I? This old codger can't take my life."

Seeing this, Li Mingyu, who got off the bus behind, was so jealous that his eyes turned red.

He muttered sourly:

"Tch, what's there to be proud of? It's just that I got lucky and caught an old man..."

But when the special police officers stepped forward, handcuffed Ghost, and found the 50 million consecutively numbered cash and several gold bars bearing the stamp of the mint from thirty years ago in a fireproof safe not far from the crash site...

Li Mingyu shut up completely, his eyes wide open, bigger than a bull's eyes.

"Holy crap! This...this is the gold that went missing thirty years ago?!"

All the police officers present were shocked!

This is the biggest unsolved case in Jiangcheng's police force in the past thirty years!

Lin Chen actually managed to break through it all by himself?!

Just then, a black Audi A6 police car screeched to a halt.

Chen Jianguo, the retired former director of the Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau, stumbled over, supported by the current director, Lu Zhenhua.

When Chen Jianguo saw the familiar gold bricks on the ground, and then saw the handcuffed, ashen-faced ghost hand...

This once unyielding old man, who never shed a tear even when bleeding, suddenly began to tremble violently.

"Thirty years...a full thirty years..."

Tears welled up in Chen Jianguo's cloudy old eyes and streamed down his wrinkled face.

He knelt down in front of the gold bricks with a thud, his hands trembling as he touched the steel stamps on them, and burst into tears.

"Old comrades! Can you see this from heaven? That bastard has been caught! Our shame has been washed away!!!"

This scene brought tears to the eyes of all the police officers present, who all stood at attention and saluted.

Director Lu Zhenhua, with tears in his eyes, patted Lin Chen on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.

"Lin Chen, well done! You've done a tremendous service! On behalf of all the police officers in Jiangcheng, thank you!"

Chen Jianguo stood up with Lu Zhenhua's help.

He walked up to Lin Chen, suddenly bent down, and bowed deeply!

"Old Chen, what are you doing? You mustn't do this!"

Lin Chen quickly reached out to support him.

"Yes! Yes!"

Chen Jianguo held Lin Chen's hand tightly, tears streaming down his face, and said:

"Lin Chen, you are not only a brilliant detective, but also my benefactor, Chen Jianguo! I can die in peace now!"

As he spoke, Chen Jianguo glanced at Su Qingge, whose pretty face was slightly flushed, then smiled through his tears and said meaningfully:

"Good lad, brave and resourceful. I have complete confidence in you handling Qingge! You two, hurry up and get things done, I'm looking forward to the wedding!"

"Master! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Su Qingge was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground. She stomped her feet hard, but her heart was as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

At this heartwarming moment, the system's cold, mechanical voice rang out in Lin Chen's mind like a machine gun!

[Reward 4: Charm +100! (Your aura has become extraordinary, like a celestial being descended to earth, making you irresistibly attractive to the opposite sex!)]

Hearing the series of frenzied reward notifications in his mind, Lin Chen couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth turn up in a wild smile.

"This is an absolute stomp of winning!"

As the rewards merged, Lin Chen felt as if an extremely large warm current was being injected into his body.

The slight fatigue from the battle vanished instantly, and his muscle definition became even more perfect.

What's even more frightening is the change in his temperament.

When Lin Chen raised his head again, all the policewomen present, including Su Qingge, were stunned.

In the firelight, Lin Chen's face seemed to exude a deadly magic, his deep eyes like the starry sea, making people want to fall into them at first glance.

Su Qingge swallowed hard, her heart pounding like a deer's, and she gritted her teeth inwardly.

"That damn man, he seems to have gotten even more handsome..."
