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

It's late at night, 10 PM.

Heavy rain poured down on the riverside avenue on the outskirts of Jiangcheng.

Large raindrops pounded furiously against the car window, forming a curtain of water. Even with the wipers on their highest setting, they could only draw two brief, clear fan-shaped streaks in front of my eyes.

The world was pitch black, with only the car headlights illuminating the distance of no more than a hundred meters ahead. The trees on both sides of the road turned into menacing ghostly shadows in the raging wind and rain.

An inconspicuous gray van, disguised as a delivery vehicle, is driving alone on this road.

inside the car.

Su Qingge sat in the passenger seat, her body tense, her right hand never leaving the grip of the gun holster at her waist, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

Her eyes were sharp as she warily scanned every inch of darkness outside the car through the blurry rain.

This plan is insane.

They're risking the entire Major Crimes Unit's reputation to gamble on a theory that's almost mystical.

If they fail, they will become a laughing stock in the entire Jiangcheng police force.

However, the man in the driver's seat seemed completely out of place in this tense atmosphere.

Lin Chen rested one hand loosely on the steering wheel, while the other hand propped up his chin, looking drowsy.

The car stereo was playing an old Cantonese love song from the 1990s, and he was humming along to the languid tune.

"Can you be serious for once?"

Su Qingge finally couldn't hold back any longer and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.

Her palms were already sweaty, but this guy acted like he was out for a picnic.

"I'm very serious."

Lin Chen yawned, and a few physiological tears squeezed out from the corners of his eyes.

"I'm calculating how much bonus the director will approve if this operation is successful."

"Overtime pay should be double, right? After all, it involves risking one's life."

"..."

Su Qingge felt her blood pressure soaring.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to turn her head to the window, out of sight, out of mind.

There's no way to have a proper conversation with this guy.

The bread truck continued forward, the terrain gradually sloping down, the water on the road getting deeper and deeper, and the wheels splashing water more than a meter high as they rolled over it.

This is the most remote section of the entire route with the weakest surveillance, and it is also the "fishing spot" that Lin Chen chose.

The old love song playing on the stereo was just reaching its chorus, and Lin Chen's humming along abruptly stopped at that moment.

His eyes, which always carried a hint of laziness, narrowed instantly. The playfulness in his eyes vanished without a trace, replaced by a chilling killing intent like a wolf locking onto its prey.

[God-level Hearing Ability], now activated!

The "pitter-patter" of the rain hitting the car roof, the "whooshing" of the wind blowing through the car window, the "splashing" of the tires rolling over the puddles... countless noisy sounds were instantly stripped away.

In his perceived world, an extremely faint yet discordant sound was precisely captured.

"Sizzle..."

That was the sound of metal rubbing against concrete.

It was very light and thin, like a mouse gnawing on cement.

The sound came from a manhole cover on the roadside about 20 meters to the left front of the vehicle!

Lin Chen's pupils suddenly contracted to the most dangerous pinpoints.

coming.

"Hold on tight!"

He practically roared those two words.

Su Qingge subconsciously reached out and grabbed the handrail above the car window to steady herself.

Lin Chen suddenly turned the steering wheel all the way to the right and slammed on the gas pedal!

"squeak--!"

The bread truck let out a piercing scream, and its heavy body went out of control on the slippery road in an instant. The rear of the truck swung to the left at an exaggerated angle, drawing a breathtaking arc on the road!

A drift that can be described as textbook-worthy!

The strong centrifugal force pressed Su Qingge firmly into the seat. She only had time to let out a short gasp before instinctively tightening her grip on the armrest above her head.

Just as the car suddenly veered off course and came to rest across the middle of the road!

"Bang!"

A dark shadow suddenly shot out from the manhole of the sewer that had just been pried open by the roadside!

The speed was so fast that it left only a blurry afterimage in the dense rain.

His target was the original trajectory of the bread truck—the driver's seat!

However, Lin Chen's miraculous drift caused his fatal blow to miss!

The shadowy figure displayed a level of coordination beyond human limits in mid-air, twisting its body strangely and forcibly changing direction, lunging straight at the passenger side of the drifting bread van!

Su Qingge's pupils dilated suddenly!

She saw it!

It was a person of extremely short stature, almost like a child, completely shrouded in a black raincoat, with a pale mask on his face.

fast!

too fast!

It was so fast that she didn't even have time to raise her gun and aim!

"Clang—crash!"

A piercing metallic clang and the sound of shattering glass rang out almost simultaneously!

A gleaming metal cone had appeared on the shadowy figure's fist, which slammed into the center of the car window at a tricky angle!

The specially reinforced glass was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks upon impact, and then shattered with a deafening roar!

Glass shards mixed with rainwater shot into the car!

Su Qingge felt a gust of wind hit her face and instinctively raised her arm to protect her head.

The next second, the black shadow, reeking of sewer stench and intense killing intent, passed through the broken car window and pounced into the narrow carriage!
