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

The biohazard crisis was nipped in the bud with swift and decisive action. The two dark clouds hanging over Beijing—the Sky Dome Group and the Xiao family—also vanished completely with the earth-shattering explosion and the irrefutable evidence at the funeral.

One week later, in the capital city, at the Su family compound.

This is no longer a simple private residence, but a microcosm of the core power circle in China.

Today, the area is heavily guarded, with guards every three steps and sentries every five steps. Every guard's eyes are sharp as an eagle's, and the atmosphere is extremely solemn.

Inside the main hall of the compound, several elderly people who are usually only seen on the news broadcast are now sitting upright.

Leading the group was Su Qingge's uncle, Su Jianguo.

He wore a Zhongshan suit without military rank, but the aura of authority he exuded, which was more captivating than any general.

All the collateral relatives of the Su family, including Su Ming who had previously mocked Lin Chen at the Su family banquet, were now kneeling on the prayer mats on both sides of the hall, holding their breath and not daring to even breathe loudly.

The arrogance that once filled their faces was gone, replaced by deep awe and fear.

Lin Chen remained as nonchalant as ever, dressed in simple casual clothes, sitting in the grand chair in the center of the main hall, representing the highest status of the Su family. He held a cup of premium Da Hong Pao tea specially provided by Ms. Shen Manyun in his hand, as if the scene around him that was enough to shake the entire capital had nothing to do with him.

Su Jianguo personally carried a tray covered with a red cloth and slowly walked to Lin Chen.

His face was filled with heartfelt excitement and gratitude.

He lifted the red cloth, and on the tray lay a medal made entirely of pure gold and inlaid with warm jade.

The medal has a simple and solemn design, engraved with the Great Wall and dragon totem. It is the Special Class Medal for Protecting the Nation, representing the highest honor in China, and can only be awarded for meritorious service in stabilizing the country and ensuring its peace.

"Comrade Lin Chen."

Su Jianguo held the tray in both hands, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

"On behalf of the Xia Kingdom and the tens of millions of people in the capital, I thank you."

He didn't use many fancy words, because any words would seem pale and powerless in the face of Lin Chen's achievement of saving a city.

Su Jianguo personally picked up the heavy medal and solemnly pinned it on Lin Chen's chest.

"From today onwards, you are not only the criminal investigation consultant of Jiangcheng City, but also the top security cornerstone of the entire capital city and even the entire China."

Su Jianguo's gaze swept over everyone present, and his voice became authoritative and loud.

"The vast assets left behind by the Xiao family and the Sky Dome Group will be handed over to the Ye Group for integration and takeover by the top management. All procedures will be completed within 24 hours."

This decision was like a bombshell, exploding in the minds of all the Su family members present.

They all knew who was behind the Yip Group.

This means that Lin Chen not only gained supreme honor, but also gained control of terrifying wealth and power overnight, enough to shake the economic lifeline of the entire capital!

Su Ming's body trembled like a leaf, and he kept his head down, not even having the courage to look at Lin Chen.

Only now did he realize just how terrifying the being he had provoked was.

Lin Chen merely glanced at the medal on his chest, then casually took it off, placed it in his palm, and weighed it in his hand as if it were a coin.

He knew that this thing was not just an honor, but also power, a pass that allowed him to do whatever he wanted within China.

He activated the [God-level Psychological Profiling] technique.

The heartbeats, breaths, subtle muscle twitches, and deepest thoughts of everyone present—whether awe, fear, or envy—were clearly presented in his mind like a transparent stream of data.

Lin Chen's gaze slowly swept across the entire room, finally landing on Su Ming's trembling back.

His voice was calm, yet it carried a domineering and ruthless quality that could freeze one's soul.

"I, Lin Chen, do things solely based on my own preferences."

"I will not attack unless attacked."

"But if anyone dares to pull any tricks behind my back, or has any inappropriate thoughts about the people around me..."

As Lin Chen finished speaking, he casually tossed the medal in his hand into the air, then caught it steadily, making a crisp metallic clanging sound.

"Xiao Zhen's fate is your example."

This extremely domineering statement, like a final judgment, struck everyone's heart with a resounding blow.

The members of the Su family present trembled violently and lowered their heads even further.

At this moment, the entire elite circle of Beijing will be sleepless all night because of this declaration.

They knew that from this day forward, the landscape of the capital had changed.

The old monarchy has collapsed, and a new uncrowned king has ascended the throne.
