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

Upon seeing Lin Chen and Su Qingge, Li Mingyu immediately swayed over gracefully like a peacock.

He was holding a bottle of men's cologne and sprayed it twice into the air around Lin Chen and Su Qingge, as if to assert his presence.

"Good morning, Consultant Lin and Team Leader Su!"

His voice carried an indescribable air of smugness.

"Why are you at the station so early today? Is something big going to happen?"

Su Qingge ignored him and walked straight to the elevator.

Lin Chen stopped and looked at Li Mingyu with great interest.

"Captain Li, are you dressed like that... going to a dance?"

Lin Chen's tone was calm, but carried a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm.

Li Mingyu immediately became beaming with joy.

"Hey, Consultant Lin, you have excellent taste! I have an important appointment at noon today!"

He lowered his voice and leaned closer to Lin Chen, feigning mystery.

"I recently met a beautiful, rich, and successful woman online. She's incredibly gorgeous and has a stunning figure! We arranged to meet at a fancy restaurant for lunch today, hoping to meet in person!"

His face beamed with the fantasy of "marrying a rich and beautiful woman and reaching the pinnacle of life," as if he wanted to write his dream on his face.

"White, rich and beautiful girl?"

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Yes! She said her family is in real estate and has a net worth of billions! She even sent me a lot of photos, all of luxury cars and designer bags, and they looked genuine!"

Li Mingyu spoke smugly, completely unaware of the playful look in Lin Chen's eyes.

"Congratulations, Captain Li."

Lin Chen patted him on the shoulder, his tone meaningful.

"I hope your wish comes true today."

Li Mingyu felt a little smug after Lin Chen's "blessing." He straightened his chest and straightened his tie in front of the mirror.

"Absolutely! Consultant Lin, would you like to go and broaden your horizons? My treat!"

"No need, Captain Li, we still have cases to handle."

Su Qingge's voice came from the elevator, tinged with impatience.

Lin Chen smiled and followed Su Qingge into the elevator.

Li Mingyu continued to indulge in his "dream of being a rich, beautiful, and successful woman," occasionally practicing his "domineering CEO" smile in front of the mirror.

At noon, Lin Chen and Su Qingge finished their work and were about to go to the cafeteria for lunch.

Lin Chen's phone suddenly vibrated; it was a message from Ye Qingcheng.

"There's a business dispute near Lanting Restaurant that I need you to handle."

"To Lanting?"

Su Qingge's eyes flickered slightly when she heard Lin Chen pronounce the restaurant's name.

Isn't that the place Li Mingyu said he was going to go on a blind date?

"Let's go, let's grab a bite to eat while we're at it."

Lin Chen smiled; he already had a premonition.

RS7 arrived at Lanting Restaurant very quickly.

Lin Chen and Su Qingge entered the restaurant and found that the environment was elegant and there were few customers, which was indeed a high-end consumption place.

They found a seat by the window and ordered a few dishes.

Not long after he sat down, Lin Chen's gaze fell on a dining table not far away.

It really was Li Mingyu.

He was wearing a pink suit, sitting upright, and was extremely attentive to a woman who was dressed in a flamboyant manner.

The woman was dressed head-to-toe in designer brands, but Lin Chen immediately noticed something was wrong.

He activated [God-level Insight] and [God-level Micro-expression Analysis].

On a woman's wrist, the second hand of a Patek Philippe watch, within an extremely small range, may occasionally experience a momentary pause.

This is not the smoothness that a precision mechanical watch should have.

Her haute couture dress had a loose thread at the neckline that was 0.02 millimeters thicker than the rest, and the stitching was also slightly off-center.

These minor flaws would go unnoticed by ordinary people, but in Lin Chen's eyes, they were impossible to miss.

These are all typical characteristics of high-quality counterfeit goods.

More importantly, when the woman glanced at Li Mingyu's wallet on the table while talking to him, her pupils involuntarily dilated.

This tiny change lasted for less than a second, but Lin Chen captured it precisely.

At the same time, a barely perceptible twitch appeared at the corner of her mouth.

This is neither disgust nor surprise, but a typical physiological excitement that comes before a conman succeeds.

Lin Chen sneered, picked up a cup of coffee, and walked straight to Li Mingyu's table.

"Consultant Lin?"

When Li Mingyu saw Lin Chen, he was first stunned, and then he was at a loss for what to do.

He didn't want Lin Chen to see his embarrassing blind date, and he didn't want his "rich and beautiful" girlfriend to be judged by Lin Chen.

The woman frowned unhappily, looking Lin Chen up and down with a hint of wariness in her eyes.

"Who are you? Can't you see we're on a date?"

Lin Chen ignored the woman, pulled out a chair, and sat down between Li Mingyu and the woman.

"I am Lin Chen."

He said it casually.

A hint of doubt flashed across the woman's face, but she quickly regained her arrogant expression.

"Lin Shenchen? I don't care who you are, please leave and don't disturb our date."

Lin Chen didn't move. He picked up his coffee and took a small sip.

"Your dress is a high-quality replica; the stitching and loose threads are all wrong."

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the woman's neckline, his tone as calm as if stating a fact.

The woman's expression changed, and she subconsciously touched her collar.

"The second hand on your Patek Philippe watch has an extremely slight twitch; it's a fake."

Lin Chen then pointed to the woman's wrist.

The woman abruptly pulled her hand back under the table.

"Most importantly,"

Lin Chen looked directly into the woman's eyes, his voice carrying a penetrating power, "When you looked at Li Mingyu's wallet just now, your pupils dilated, and there was a barely perceptible twitch at the corner of your mouth. This is typical physiological excitement before a conman succeeds."

The woman's face changed drastically, and she slammed her hand on the table, as if she wanted to curse.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Are you just jealous of me?!"

She screamed.

Without wasting any words, Lin Chen pulled out his police ID from his pocket and showed it to the woman.

"I'm an advisor to the Municipal Bureau. Would you like me to check the 'pig butchering scam' script in your WeChat account?"

The phrase "pig butchering scam" struck like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering all of a woman's pretense.

Her face turned deathly pale instantly, and her eyes were filled with fear.

She suddenly stood up, grabbed the fake bag on the table, and fled without even saying goodbye to Li Mingyu.

The whole process happened so fast that Li Mingyu was completely stunned.

He watched the woman's hasty retreat, then looked at Lin Chen, feeling as if his own face had been slapped.

Although I saved my wallet, my dignity was shattered, and I wished I could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Lin Chen took back his police ID, patted Li Mingyu on the shoulder, and said in a tone that was one of disappointment and frustration.

"Captain Li, read more books and dream less."

Su Qingge walked over from not far away and witnessed Lin Chen's "dimensional reduction attack" in the whole process.

Looking at Li Mingyu's utterly dejected expression, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Her admiration for Lin Chen deepened even further. This man always managed to solve problems in the most crucial moments and in the most unexpected ways.

"Advisor Lin, I...I..."

Li Mingyu stammered, unable to utter a single word.

"Alright, Captain Li."

Lin Chen stood up.

"Before your next blind date, remember to ask Team Leader Su to check your judgment first. She has a much better eye for people than you do."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingge's cheeks flushed slightly, and she glared at Lin Chen.

But the smile in his eyes was impossible to hide.

Li Mingyu was on the verge of tears. He knew that what happened today would definitely become a laughing stock in the bureau.

He sat down silently, looking at the leftover food on the table, feeling a mix of emotions.

Lin Chen and Su Qingge sat down at another table and continued their lunch.

Lin Chen's phone vibrated again; it was a message from Ye Qingcheng.

"The business dispute has been resolved. You really can always stir up trouble wherever you go."

Lin Chen smiled but did not reply.

He knew that Ye Qingcheng must have seen what had just happened.

He picked up his coffee and took a small sip.

Life is always full of surprises and unexpected events.
