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

In the suburbs of Jiangcheng, the dimly lit alleys are like a maze.

Li Mingyu pulled the still-shaken Wang Qian along as they ran wildly through the night.

Behind him, two assassins were hot on his heels, their footsteps growing ever closer, carrying a sense of impending death.

Li Mingyu knew he couldn't run for much longer; he had to find a way to get rid of them.

He shoved Wang Qian behind an abandoned trash can and hissed in a low voice.

"Hide well! Don't make a sound!"

Wang Qian trembled with fear, hugging herself tightly and curling her body into a ball.

Li Mingyu took a deep breath and drew his sidearm from his waist.

He knew that what followed was going to be a tough battle.

He was no longer the impulsive and reckless Li Mingyu. Lin Chen's guidance taught him to be calm and thoughtful.

He quickly surveyed his surroundings, looking for terrain he could utilize.

The alley ended in a dead end, with high walls on both sides.

Li Mingyu leaned against the wall, held his breath, pressed his ear against the wall, and listened carefully to the assassin's movements.

Soon, two assassins appeared at the alley entrance.

They split to the left and right, forming a flanking maneuver, and slowly approached.

In the darkness, their eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light, like those of hungry wolves.

"Officer, hand over the USB drive, and I'll give you a quick death."

One of the assassins said coldly, holding a silenced pistol with the muzzle pointed directly at Li Mingyu.

Li Mingyu remained silent. He knew that once the USB drive fell into their hands, both he and Wang Qian would surely die.

He gripped his pistol tightly, his finger on the trigger, every muscle in his body tense.

"Bang!"

A muffled gunshot pierced the night sky.

Li Mingyu felt a sudden jolt in his chest as a tremendous force slammed him against the wall.

He screamed in agony as his pistol slipped from his hand, and his body slid limply to the ground.

He looked down and saw a black bullet hole in his chest.

Blood instantly soaked the police uniform.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The assassin grinned maliciously as he stepped forward, pointing his gun at Li Mingyu's head once again.

"Fool! Do you really think you can go against us?"

Another assassin walked over, bent down to pick up Li Mingyu's dropped pistol, then stepped on Li Mingyu's chest, preparing to finish him off and take the USB drive.

Wang Qian saw this scene from behind the trash can and let out a heart-wrenching scream.

However, just as the assassin was about to pull the trigger, Li Mingyu suddenly spat out a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood.

"Pooh!"

He miraculously got up from the ground!

The assassin was stunned. He looked at the bullet hole in Li Mingyu's chest, then at his face contorted with pain, his eyes filled with disbelief.

How...how is this possible?!

A large-caliber pistol bullet hit him directly in the chest, and he still didn't die?!

Li Mingyu pulled open his blood-soaked police uniform, revealing a thin, black vest underneath.

A clear bullet hole was clearly visible on the chest of the vest; the bullet had only left a white mark but had not penetrated it!

This vest is a simplified version of the "Non-Newtonian Fluid Bulletproof Underwear" that Lin Chen mass-produced using [God-Level Materials Science] before going to the capital, and that Li Mingyu obtained from the Ye Group!

It is made of multiple layers of special materials. Normally it is soft and thin, but once it is subjected to a high-speed impact, the non-Newtonian fluid inside will solidify instantly, dispersing the impact force to the entire body area, thus resisting the penetration of the bullet.

"The equipment that Consultant Lin provided is even more powerful than a bulletproof vest!"

Li Mingyu felt a burning pain in his chest, but the joy of escaping death and his admiration for Lin Chen instantly dispelled all his fear.

He knew that this was Lin Chen's trump card to save his life!

He suddenly picked up his sidearm from the ground, his eyes flashing with a crazed light.

"Fuck you, killer!"

Li Mingyu's courage grew. Without hesitation or thought, fueled by an adrenaline rush, he charged towards the two assassins.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

He fired three shots in quick succession, the bullets whistling through the air.

Before the first assassin could even recover from the shock, Li Mingyu shot him in the head, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, his blood staining the cold ground.

The other assassin, seeing the situation was dire, had a flicker of fear in his eyes.

He never expected that the policeman would have such bizarre bulletproof equipment, nor did he expect him to be so decisive and ruthless.

He knew that the mission had been a complete failure.

"withdraw!"

He roared and turned to flee out of the alley.

Li Mingyu did not give chase, knowing he was injured and that Wang Qian was still behind him.

He gripped the USB drive tightly, making sure it was still in his pocket.

He ran to Wang Qian and pulled her out from behind the trash can.

Wang Qian was so frightened that her face turned pale and her body trembled uncontrollably.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Li Mingyu comforted her while taking out his phone and dialing Lin Chen's number again.

"Advisor Lin! Mission accomplished! The USB drive is safe!"

Li Mingyu's voice was slightly hoarse, but it was filled with excitement and relief at surviving the ordeal.

"Well done, Mingyu."

Lin Chen's voice came through, still calm, but it made Li Mingyu feel a warm current flow through his body.

"Now, find a place to treat your wound, then hide the USB drive and wait for my next instructions."

"Yes, Advisor Lin!"

Li Mingyu hung up the phone and looked at the dead killer on the ground and another figure fleeing in the distance. He felt as if his world had been completely turned upside down.

He once thought he knew Lin Chen well, and that Lin Chen was just lucky or had used some clever tricks.

But now he realized that Lin Chen's strength far exceeded his imagination.

The equipment he provided, the tactics he devised, he could even predict the assassin's actions and the dangers he himself would encounter.

This is no ordinary criminal investigation consultant.

This is clearly a living Zhuge Liang, a strategist who can devise plans and win battles from afar!

Li Mingyu carefully took the USB drive out of his pocket and held it tightly in his hand.

He knew that this small USB drive carried a huge secret, and also carried his future as Li Mingyu.

Looking at the high-speed rail station in the distance under the night sky, he was filled with awe and gratitude for Lin Chen.
