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

A few days later, at Jiangcheng First People's Hospital.

After completing the discharge procedures, Lin Chen stretched in the corridor, his joints cracking and popping.

The effects of the [Body Enhancer (Intermediate)] are nothing short of insane.

The penetrating wound on my scapula has left only a faint pink mark, which will disappear completely soon.

The muscle fibers inside his body that had been torn by the chandelier not only healed completely, but were also stronger than before, full of explosive power.

He felt like he could kill a bull with one punch.

Just as he was pondering whether to go to the bank to check on the string of zeros or go home for a nap, two beautiful figures flanked him from the left and right.

"Lin Chen, to celebrate your discharge from the hospital, let's go shopping!"

"Brother Lin Chen, your clothes are all worn out, Ke'er will buy you new ones!"

Su Qingge and Su Ke'er, one spirited and the other sweet and charming, grabbed Lin Chen's arm without saying a word and dragged him out of the hospital.

Lin Chen: "..."

This feels like escorting prisoners.

……

Half an hour later, at Hang Lung Plaza, the most upscale shopping mall in the city center.

Men's Clothing Section.

Lin Chensheng stood in front of the dressing mirror with a sense of despair, completely reduced to a human clothes rack.

"This one won't do; the color is too old-fashioned."

Su Ke'er picked up a gray jacket, glanced at it, shook her head, and put it back.

"This one won't do either; it's too flashy and not dignified enough."

Su Qingge pointed to a printed T-shirt and rejected it outright.

Soon, the two women's eyes were simultaneously drawn to two very different outfits.

"Try this one."

Su Qingge took off a neatly tailored black mid-length trench coat.

Subconsciously, she wanted to mold Lin Chen into the omnipotent criminal investigation consultant she envisioned, a reliable figure who could stand shoulder to shoulder with her at crime scenes.

"Brother Lin Chen, try this!"

Su Ke'er brought over a beige hooded sweatshirt and matching casual pants.

She hoped that Lin Chen would be the boy next door who would fall from the sky to protect her, sunny, warm, and full of life.

The two women each held the clothes they had chosen and stood on either side of Lin Chen.

There seemed to be invisible electricity crackling in the air.

His gaze was cold and aloof, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

One look was innocent, yet it revealed an unyielding stubbornness.

Lin Chen was caught in the middle, with Su Qingge's cold scrutiny on his left and Su Ke'er's expectant gaze on his right. He felt as if he were in a battlefield without gunpowder.

It hurts, but it's also pleasurable.

Finally, under the "kind" gazes of the two women, Lin Chen tried on both sets.

With the trench coat on, his entire demeanor instantly became profound and sharp, and paired with his deep-set eyes, he exuded a powerful aura.

Wearing a hoodie, he transformed back into that sunny and handsome young man, a slight smile playing on his lips, exuding a nonchalant charm.

The two women looked at Lin Chen in the mirror, each with a satisfied expression.

"I'll take them all."

They almost unanimously agreed.

Then, when it came time to pay the bill, an even more horrific scene unfolded.

"I'll pay."

Su Qingge took out her phone.

"I'll do it! I'll do it!"

Su Ke'er eagerly handed her payment code to the cashier.

"I said I'd do it."

Su Qingge's tone left no room for argument.

"Sister Qingge, you've already treated Brother Lin Chen to a meal, now it's my turn!"

Su Ke'er puffed out her cheeks, refusing to back down.

The cashier was at a loss, her gaze shifting back and forth between the two stunningly beautiful women and the excessively handsome man between them, her eyes filled with disbelief at the world.

Lin Chen rubbed his forehead, feeling like the words "being kept" were practically plastered on his forehead.

This gigolo... actually tastes kind of good.

Finally, with Lin Chen's strong intervention, each person paid for a set, and this war without gunpowder came to a temporary end.

The three of them, carrying shopping bags, went to the rooftop restaurant on the top floor of the mall.

The atmosphere finally became much more harmonious.

Su Ke'er was like a cheerful little sparrow, chirping and sharing the interesting things that happened at school.

Su Qingge sat quietly opposite him, not saying much, but her clear and cold phoenix eyes would always inadvertently sweep over Lin Chen's face, her gaze flowing with a tenderness that she herself was unaware of.

Lin Chen was enjoying this rare moment of leisure. On his left was dessert, and on his right was the main course. Life was perfect.

"Buzz—Buzz—"

A sudden, urgent phone vibration abruptly shattered the warmth of the moment.

It's Su Qingge's phone.

She picked up her phone and answered the call. Her expression, which had been gentle, suddenly turned grim the moment she heard the report from the other end of the line, and her eyes instantly became sharp as knives.

"What did you say?"

Are you sure?

"Seal off the scene, I'm coming right away!"

After hanging up the phone, the air in the entire restaurant seemed to drop several degrees.

Su Qingge looked at Lin Chen with a hint of apology in her eyes.

Lin Chen wiped his mouth with a napkin, too lazy to even ask, and simply raised an eyebrow.

"There's work to be done?"

Su Qingge nodded heavily, her voice low and carrying an unyielding chill.

"At the Xishan garbage treatment plant on the outskirts of the city, workers found a black travel bag while sorting garbage."

She paused, then said, word by word:

"Inside, it was full of chopped human tissue."

Almost the instant Su Qingge finished speaking, a cold system notification suddenly rang out in Lin Chen's mind!

[Ding! A major heinous crime has been detected, triggering a series of missions!]

[Mission Name: The Mystery of Dismembered Corpses]

[Mission Description: Assist the police in solving the dismemberment case at the Xishan waste treatment plant and bring the brutal killer hiding in the shadows of the city to justice.]

[Mission Rewards: 500 million cash, god-level culinary skills, god-level hacking skills, god-level insight, and +10 charm points!]

Lin Chen's eyes lit up instantly!

God-level culinary skills? Perfect for satisfying the appetites of two goddesses.

God-level hacking skills? This is a top-tier tool for solving cases.

God-like insight? The ability to see through all pretense and lies.

A +10 Charm? This stuff can even add points? That's a steal!

He finished his calculations in a flash, stood up abruptly, threw his napkin on the table, and his lazy demeanor vanished without a trace.

"I'm not eating this!"

"Let's go take a look."

Although Su Ke'er was a little disappointed that her hard-won date had been interrupted, seeing the sudden seriousness in Lin Chen and Su Qingge's expressions, she nodded obediently and said:

"Brother Lin Chen, Sister Qing Ge, you go ahead and do your work, and be careful."

"I can just take a taxi home myself."

Lin Chen smiled at her, patted her head, and then followed Su Qingge, striding towards the elevator.

Behind me, the warm lights and laughter of the open-air restaurant quickly faded away, as if belonging to another world.

The road ahead was shrouded in shadow and blood.
