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

"thump."

Lin Chen released his grip as if throwing away a bag of stinking garbage.

The Thousand-Faced Man, now an idiot, slumped to the ground, his body still twitching unconsciously. He made idiotic "abba aba" sounds, and a foul stench emanated from his crotch, clearly indicating that he had lost control of his bladder and bowels.

Lin Chen shook his hand in disgust, not even bothering to look at this useless person.

He turned around, and his previously cold, ruthless, and decisive face melted away like ice and snow when he looked at his mother, who was tied to the electric chair, turning into endless tenderness and guilt.

Lin Chen walked quickly to the electric chair, his movements extremely gentle, and carefully tore off the industrial tape sealing Shen Manyun's mouth.

"Sizzle—"

"mom……"

Lin Chen's voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were slightly red.

This tough guy, who wouldn't even flinch when facing vicious criminals, felt his heart clench with heartache as he looked at the red marks on his mother's wrists from the rope.

"Xiao Chen! My good son!"

As soon as the tape was torn off, Shen Manyun burst into tears.

She threw herself into Lin Chen's arms, clinging tightly to his broad back, her tears instantly soaking his shirt.

"Mom, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I've caused you trouble and made you feel scared."

Lin Chen stretched out his large, warm hand and gently patted his mother's back, comforting her continuously.

"Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Although Shen Manyun is usually shrewd, capable, and loud, after experiencing such a life-or-death ordeal, she is ultimately just an ordinary mother.

However, her protective instincts towards her children have not diminished at all.

She wiped away her tears, cupped Lin Chen's face in her hands, looked him up and down, and only after confirming that her son was not missing any limbs did she finally breathe a long sigh of relief.

"Mom's fine! Mom's not afraid at all! Mom knew it! My son is now a senior advisor to the police station, a great hero who catches bad guys! That masked pervert thinks he can threaten you with me? Bah! Keep dreaming!"

As Shen Manyun cursed, she didn't forget to glare fiercely at the Thousand-Faced Man lying on the ground, grinning foolishly.

Seeing his mother trying so hard to stay calm and comforting him, Lin Chen felt both sad and warm inside.

This is family affection, a taboo subject that Lin Chen absolutely cannot allow anyone in this world to touch!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Don't move! Police!"

Just as the mother and son were showing concern for each other, a series of rapid footsteps and the bright light of a tactical flashlight suddenly came from outside the ward.

Fully armed and carrying a bottle of stun gun, Su Qingge, along with a large group of special police officers, rushed into the ward, panting heavily.

They had a really tough time in the corridor just now.

Although the illusionary mechanisms and traps set up by the Thousand-Faced Man were ineffective against Lin Chen, they gave the special police officers quite a hard time.

If it weren't for Su Qingge's strong willpower and forceful command, they would probably have been trapped outside for another half hour.

"Lin Chen! Are you alright? How is Auntie?"

As soon as Su Qingge rushed in, her eyes eagerly searched for Lin Chen's figure in the ward.

When she saw Lin Chen and his mother embracing each other safely, her heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally settled down.

"Qingge, I'm fine, and Mom isn't hurt either."

Lin Chen turned his head and gave Su Qingge a reassuring smile.

Su Qingge nodded, then turned her gaze to the man sprawled on the ground.

"This...this is a thousand-faced person?"

Su Qingge stared at the middle-aged man with a face full of white foam, who was grinning foolishly and playing with his fingers. Her beautiful face was filled with disbelief.

The SWAT team members behind her were also dumbfounded.

They were prepared for a life-or-death struggle with this high-IQ criminal mastermind!

How come when I rushed in, this guy turned into an idiot?

"Consultant Lin, what... what happened? How did he become like this?"

A SWAT team captain swallowed hard and asked in shock.

"Oh, maybe the quality of the infrasound and strobe lights he set up was so poor that he accidentally backfired on himself."

"After all, playing with fire will only lead to getting burned."

Lin Chen shrugged and made up a reason that even ghosts wouldn't believe.

Su Qingge gave Lin Chen a deep look.

Of course, she didn't believe Lin Chen's nonsense.

She knew this man too well; it was definitely Lin Chen who did it!

Looking at Lin Chen's calm profile, Su Qingge felt an indescribable sense of awe, along with a deep pity.

She knew that Lin Chen must have just experienced an unimaginable outburst of anger.

This man always keeps the most dangerous and darkest side to himself, while showing the most sunny and safe side to those around him.

"Men, handcuff this suspect and take him back to the station! Call an ambulance immediately to give the woman a full medical checkup!"

Su Qingge gathered her thoughts and immediately resumed her capable demeanor as the head of the Major Crimes Unit, loudly issuing orders.

"yes!"

Two special police officers stepped forward and dragged the grinning, Thousand-Faced Man away like a dead pig.

"Mom, let's go home."

"My dad must be going crazy with worry at home."

Lin Chen took off his coat, draped it over Shen Manyun's shoulders, and carefully helped her walk outside.

As I stepped out of the abandoned Kangning Mental Hospital, a cool night breeze blew in, dispelling the pungent musty smell in the air.
