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

Lin Chen lay in bed, listening to his mother's words about Versailles reaching its extreme, and his scalp tingled.

He felt as if he were not lying in a VIP ward, but on an execution platform.

Shen Manyun looked at the exquisite jade bracelet on her wrist, then at the three girls in front of her who were dazzling her with choices. The difficulty on her face seemed genuine.

She was seriously considering whether she should go home and bring out the other gold bracelet she had been keeping at the bottom of her drawer.

This happy dilemma was observed by the three clever and perceptive girls.

The war has escalated once again because of this bracelet!

"Auntie, your bracelet is so beautiful, the quality is amazing!"

Su Ke'er had the sharpest eyes and the sweetest tongue, and was the first to launch an attack.

She moved closer to Shen Manyun, her eyes sparkling.

"However, I think such an expensive bracelet looks best on your wrist, Auntie! We young people can't pull it off."

An older woman nearby nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, and whispered to her companion:

"That girl has a sweet tongue and knows how to get things done."

Jiang Tingxue pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses, and a glint of shrewdness flashed in her probing eyes behind the lenses.

She walked to the other side of Shen Manyun, her gaze falling on the jade bracelet, her voice clear and professional.

"Auntie, you have plenty of energy and blood, and your pulse is steady and strong."

According to the Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica, jade is sweet and neutral in nature, enters the lung meridian, and can moisten the heart and lungs and nourish the five internal organs.

"If you wear it for a long time, the jade will nourish you, and you will nourish the jade, which is very good for your health."

These words had an immediate effect.

The group of health-conscious aunties around Jiang Tingxue instantly changed their gaze from "pretty girl" to "living goddess".

"Wow, this girl is amazing, she even knows medicine!"

"Marrying her will add ten years to the life of the whole family!"

Su Qingge remained silent.

She simply stood there quietly, helping to tidy up the fruit peels and scraps of paper on the table, her movements elegant and efficient.

But those clear, aloof phoenix eyes would always inadvertently glance at that emerald green bracelet.

Her eyes held a longing she herself was unaware of.

Shen Manyun was even more satisfied with her virtuous demeanor, which showed no arrogance and worked quietly. She felt that this girl had the demeanor of a matriarch.

The three women's gazes met in mid-air, crackling and sparking.

Lin Chen, caught in the eye of the storm, was already sweating profusely.

This is hardly a visit to a sick person.

This is clearly defusing a nuclear bomb!

It's three connected in parallel!

Just then, the cold, mechanical voice, filled with undisguised schadenfreude, suddenly rang in his mind!

[Ding! Host detected to be in an S-level high-risk scenario: "The Choice Between Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law"!]

[Comprehensive survival rate assessment in progress...]

[Assessment Result: Survival rate less than 1%. It is recommended that the host feign death in place, or activate the ICU emergency resuscitation plan.]

Lin Chen closed his eyes in despair.

The system has already verified it; today is my death day.

Shen Manyun looked at this and couldn't bear to part with it.

Look at that, I can't let it go.

Then I looked at the third one and wanted it even more.

Suffering from decision paralysis, she finally turned to her son, who was lying in a hospital bed, for help.

"Son, which one do you think is better?"

boom!

This problem, like the last straw, completely broke Lin Chen's mental defenses.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

I'll tell you which one is better, and the other two will make my physical journey "easier" today!

In the ward, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Chen.

Time seemed to stretch on endlessly at that moment.

Just as Lin Chen was about to roll his eyes and faint from a "relapse of his injuries"...

"Ring ring ring ring—!"

A sudden, piercing cell phone ringtone, like a divine melody from beyond the heavens, rang out!

It broke the suffocating silence!

It's Su Qingge's phone!

She grasped at this as if it were a lifeline and quickly answered the phone.

"Hello, this is Su Qingge."

Just one second.

All pretense vanished from her face in an instant, revealing her beautiful phoenix eyes to be incredibly serious and sharp.

The iron-fisted temperament characteristic of the head of the serious crimes unit has returned once again.

"What?"

Send me the address, I'll be right there!

hang up the phone.

All eyes in the ward shifted from Lin Chen to her.

Su Qingge ignored everyone and quickly walked to the bedside, looking at Lin Chen with an unprecedentedly solemn expression.

Something's happened.

"A very tricky case."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's eyes shone with an astonishing light.

He suddenly jumped out of bed!

Sit up in shock from dying!

"Is there a case?"

He threw off the covers, his voice booming with excitement.

"I'm going too!"

Lin Chen's loud and clear "I'm going too" stunned everyone in the room.

Especially Shen Manyun.

She was so shocked to see her son, who had been lying listlessly one second, suddenly burst into life and tried to rush out the next, that she almost jumped off her chair.

"Hey! You've gone crazy, kid!"

Shen Manyun rushed forward, spreading her arms to block the bed, her face full of disapproval.

"You're still injured! Where are you going?! Lie down properly!"

"Mom, I'm really okay!"

Lin Chen just wanted to escape this hellish situation; he didn't care about anything else.

To prove he was in great shape, he lay down in front of everyone.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two textbook-perfect push-ups, done quickly and steadily.

Then, he stood up, bent his arm, and flexed his biceps, which were now sharply defined thanks to the system's enhancement.

"Look at you, you're doing great! Stronger than an ox!"

This move left Su Ke'er and Jiang Tingxue dumbfounded.

A group of middle-aged women were completely dumbfounded.

This...this is a wounded soldier?

Su Qingge was also taken aback by his sudden and bizarre move.

But when she met Lin Chen's frantic, pleading eyes, filled with a "save my life" look, she instantly understood.

This man is using the case to escape!

She felt both annoyed and amused, but more than anything, she felt a strange sense of understanding.

She put on a stern face and continued acting accordingly.

"Auntie, the case is urgent, and lives are at stake."

Su Qingge looked at Shen Manyun with a serious expression.

"Lin Chen is our special consultant. We can't do this case without him."

Since the leader had spoken, Shen Manyun couldn't stop him anymore.

Without further hesitation, Su Qingge stepped forward, grabbed Lin Chen's wrist, and pulled him out.

"Walk!"

"Oh no! My soup..."

"Sister Qingge, wait for me!"

"Teacher Lin, here's your spinal model!"

Shen Manyun's exclamation came from behind, and Su Ke'er and Jiang Tingxue stomped their feet in exasperation.

But Lin Chen couldn't care less about that anymore.

Pulled along by Su Qingge, the two of them, like a pair of doomed lovers, rushed out of the ward and out of the hospital without looking back.

Until I sat in that familiar Audi RS7.

The car door slammed shut with a "bang".

Lin Chen felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and he slumped into the passenger seat, panting heavily.

Aftermath.

He vowed that even if he were surrounded by a hundred thugs with AKs, he would never again step into a place where three women make a scene.

That's terrible.

Su Qingge started the car and slammed on the gas pedal, sending the car shooting off like an arrow.

As she drove, she glanced sideways at the exhausted-looking man next to her through the rearview mirror.

Seeing his disheveled and disoriented state, a fleeting smile involuntarily crept onto her usually aloof face.

But soon, she suppressed her smile and gave a cold snort.

"The bracelet is quite pretty, isn't it?"

She asked the question seemingly casually.

"Have you decided who to give it to?"

Lin Chen's body froze instantly.

It's over.

Having just escaped one danger's clutches, they now enter another.

He chuckled dryly twice and quickly changed the subject.

"Ahem, um... Team Leader Su, what case is it that's so urgent?"

"Even you say it's tricky."

When the case was mentioned, Su Qingge's expression immediately became serious.

Her fingers tightened slightly on the steering wheel, and she subconsciously slowed down the car.

The atmosphere inside the car shifted from the previous ambiguity and banter to a tense and somber one.

She paused for a moment, seemingly organizing her thoughts.

Finally, from her red lips, she uttered four words that startled Lin Chen.

"Spontaneous human combustion".
