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

Time seemed to be stretched into an infinitely long thread at this moment.

High in the sky, the night wind howled.

The rooftop of an unfinished building.

The fervent smile on Zhang Yan's face was frozen at its peak.

His thumb, imbued with a sacred sense of creation and destruction, pressed resolutely against the blood-red button.

He could almost hear the roar from the depths of hell and see the magnificent sight of the entire block being transformed into a work of art amidst towering flames.

however.

None of what he had anticipated happened.

puff!

A warm cloud of blood mist exploded in his palm without warning!

An indescribable, terrifying kinetic energy, carried by a small metal bullet, instantly pierced through his metacarpal bone!

"Click—"

The crisp sound of bones breaking was drowned out by the tremendous wind.

The blood-red remote control, made of precision parts, disintegrated instantly under the immense impact of the bullet!

Countless tiny parts and fragments, mixed with blood and bits of flesh, flew in all directions!

"ah--!!!"

A full second passed before a heart-wrenching scream finally erupted from deep within Zhang Yan's throat!

That face, which always exuded elegance and composure, was now completely distorted by extreme pain, its features twisted into a jumbled mess.

He lowered his head in disbelief.

What he saw was his own right hand, a bloody mess, now only half intact.

Fresh blood gushed out like a fountain.

His remote control...

His paintbrush, nearing the completion of his final artwork...

Broken!

Detonation failed!

His eyes, which always shone with the light of wisdom and confidence, were now filled with endless bewilderment, horror, and deep-seated resentment!

How is that possible?!

who is it? !

Zhang Yan suddenly looked up, clutching his severed wrist with his intact hand, staggered and knelt on the ground, his gaze frantically scanning the sea of ​​fire below.

He saw it.

Eight hundred meters away, at the edge of the square.

That man.

The young advisor whom he regarded as an ant, as an audience member.

He was slowly lowering his arm, and a wisp of smoke was rising from the muzzle of the small police pistol in his hand, dissipating in the cold night wind.

……

Century Square.

Su Qingge was completely petrified.

Her usually sharp, piercing phoenix eyes were wide open at this moment, her beautiful pupils filled with a shock that shattered her worldview.

She opened her rosy lips, but no sound came out.

My mind is blank.

What just happened?

Lin Chen snatched her gun...

Then, he fired a shot...

Eight hundred meters away, the remote control in that madman's hand... exploded?

With a pistol?!

Eight hundred meters away?!

A palm-sized remote control was blown up?!

This is not science!

This is something no human could do!

How did he do that?

While Su Qingge was immersed in the immense shock.

"Whoosh—whoosh—buzz—"

The deafening roar of helicopter rotors echoed from the sky.

Several special police helicopters finally arrived, circling above the unfinished building, their blinding searchlights illuminating the rooftop as bright as day.

A series of agile figures descended from the sky via ropes, quickly and firmly controlling Zhang Yan, who was clutching his severed hand and screaming madly on the ground.

The crisis has been completely resolved.

Seeing all this, Su Qingge's nerve, which had been stretched to its limit, finally snapped with a "snap".

She could no longer control her emotions.

All the composure, all the strength, all the pretense were washed away completely in this moment!

Fear, lingering fear, relief, shock, admiration...

Countless complex emotions overwhelmed her reason in an instant.

All she knew was that it was the man in front of her.

He rushed into the inferno and rescued the girl.

With that incredible shot, he saved the square and the lives of tens of thousands of people!

With his not-so-robust back, he shouldered everything!

Under the watchful eyes of all the citizens who had survived the ordeal.

Under the flashing lights of countless media reporters.

To the astonishment of all his colleagues in the Major Crimes Unit.

Su Qingge made a move that surprised everyone.

She rushed forward.

He opened his arms wide and used all his strength to hug Lin Chen tightly from behind!

Her warm, soft body suddenly entered my arms.

Lin Chen's body stiffened slightly.

He could clearly feel the perfect, delicate body in his arms trembling violently.

Cold tears instantly soaked through the charred back of his shirt, burning his skin with their scalding heat.

The iceberg has melted.

"Snap! Snap! Snap!"

The flashes went off at an unprecedented frequency, freezing this breathtaking scene forever.

Heroes of Fire.

The most beautiful policewoman.

Aftermath.

They embraced each other tenderly.

Tomorrow's headline—no, tonight's—is here!

"Su... Team Leader Su, she..."

"Am I seeing things? That's Team Leader Su!"

The criminal police officers who rushed to provide support were all dumbfounded.

And just then...

Several police cars finally managed to squeeze through the crowd and arrived late.

Li Mingyu looked anxious and led several of his men out of the car.

He had just heard the report that the crisis had been resolved at the command center and was preparing to come over to clean up the mess, and see if he could get some credit for it.

However, this is what he saw when he rushed to the scene.

Under the spotlight.

Su Qingge, whom he cherished and regarded as a goddess, was like a helpless kitten, clinging tightly to another man's back, crying her eyes out.

And that man was none other than Lin Chen, whom he hated and envied the most!

The expression on Li Mingyu's face froze instantly.

He felt his knees buckle and he almost lost his balance.

This time, it's not the pain of being slapped in the face.

My heart is broken.

It shattered into pieces, along with his pitiful self-esteem, which was crushed into dust.

Lin Chen felt the sharp pain in his back and the touching warmth in his arms, and for a moment, he was overwhelmed with emotions.

Just then, that familiar and pleasant mechanical prompt sound suddenly rang in his mind!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully averting a major terrorist bombing and perfectly completing the S-rank mission: The Chemist's Carnival!]

[Task rewards are being calculated...]

[Congratulations, host, you have received: 500 million in cash! (Already transferred to the designated account; the source is absolutely legal)]

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the rare skill: Basic Hypnotic Suggestion!]

[Basic hypnotic suggestion: Through language, eye contact, and specific gestures, a superficial psychological suggestion can be given to the target, causing them to relax their guard and reveal some information in a short period of time. Note: The effect is reduced for those with strong willpower or those who have received professional training.]

Lin Chen's eyes lit up.

nice one!

This thing is an absolute killer when used in interrogation!

The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

It hurts, but it's fucking worth it!

……

The next day.

The name Lin Chen ignited the entire city of Jiangcheng!

Braving a Sea of ​​Fire! A Lone Hero Saves a Girl Bare-Backed!

"800-meter sniper! The man who ended the devil's judgment with a single shot!"

The Terminator of the Century Square Terrorist Attack! A Battlefield Love Story Between a Hero and a Policewoman!

The front pages of major media outlets and the top trending topics on online platforms were all completely dominated by Lin Chen's face blackened by smoke and the photos of him embracing Su Qingge!

He became the city's undisputed superhero!

at the same time.

In a heavily guarded military compound on the outskirts of Jiangcheng City.

The Su family.

An elderly man with gray hair but vigorous spirit and a back straight as a spear was sitting in a mahogany armchair.

He was wearing a faded old military uniform, the epaulets long gone, but the steely, bloodthirsty aura honed from countless battles still made the air in the living room incredibly heavy.

It was Su Qingge's grandfather, a founding general, Su Dingguo!

He was holding a smartphone, and on the screen was the photo of Lin Chen and Su Qingge embracing in front of the fire.

Su Dingguo looked at the young man in the photo, who was disheveled but had sharp, eagle-like eyes, and then looked at his granddaughter who was crying like a little girl.

There was a long silence.

He suddenly slammed his hand heavily on the table in front of him!

"Snapped!"

A loud bang!

"Good lad!"

Instead of getting angry, Su Dingguo burst into loud laughter, his voice so loud it made the teacups vibrate.

"You've got guts! Daring to charge into the inferno, daring to fire a shot from 800 meters away! That marksmanship is divine!"

He turned to a middle-aged man next to him, who was also dressed in military uniform but had a refined demeanor, and shouted at him.

That man was Su Qingge's father, Su Jianjun.

"Build an army!"

Upon hearing the sound, Su Jianjun stood up abruptly, his posture ramrod straight.

"arrive!"

"Bring this kid back to me!"

Su Dingguo commanded in an unquestionable tone.

"I want to see it for myself!"
