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

The police information department is extremely efficient.

In less than ten minutes, detailed information about the violin badge was sent to Su Qingge's phone.

"Lin Chen, we found it!" Su Qingge's expression turned serious as she looked at the information on the screen. "This badge was a special commemorative medal commissioned by the Beijing Conservatory of Music for its 50th anniversary. Only ten were made, awarded to esteemed figures who made outstanding contributions to the academy. This badge, number 03, belongs to Zhao Boyuan, a retired professor from the conservatory!"

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed.

Zhao Boyuan?

He had not only heard the name, but knew it very well. This old professor was not only a leading figure in the domestic music scene, but also a top collector of ancient musical instruments. Most importantly, Su Ke'er was his most prized and last disciple.

"broken."

Lin Chen immediately took out his phone and dialed Su Ke'er's number.

The phone rang several times before being answered. Su Ke'er's low voice came from the other end, tinged with a hint of doubt: "Honey? Why are you calling me at this hour? I'm at Professor Zhao's villa helping him organize ancient musical scores."

Just as Su Ke'er spoke.

[Ding! God-level danger perception triggered! Target: Su Ke'er, Danger Level: Extremely Lethal!]

Lin Chen felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and a violent killing intent instantly erupted from his body, as if the surrounding air had dropped several degrees.

The villain's target wasn't some "heavenly sound" at all, but rather an antique that Professor Zhao Boyuan had collected!

"Ke'er, listen to me, find a secluded place to hide right now. No matter what noise you hear, don't make a sound. Hold onto the jade pendant I gave you tightly. I'll be there soon!"

Without uttering a single word, Lin Chen hung up the phone and charged straight at the black bulletproof SUV.

The engine roared like a beast, and the SUV shot into the night like a black cannonball.

Meanwhile, outside Professor Zhao Boyuan's detached villa in the wealthy Xishan district.

Three assassins dressed in black night clothes and wearing night vision goggles lurked like ghosts in the bushes surrounding the villa.

A soft "click" sounded.

The electrical box outside the villa was violently damaged, plunging the entire villa into a deathly darkness.

In the study, Su Ke'er had just hung up Lin Chen's call when the lights suddenly went out. She jumped in fright, nearly dropping her phone.

She recalled Lin Chen's extremely serious tone from earlier, and her heart began to pound. She dared not make a sound, and crept into the study under the large mahogany desk in the dark, clutching tightly the Hetian jade pendant that Lin Chen had personally carved, tears welling in her eyes.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor of the villa.

An assassin took out a specially made glass cutter, drew a circle on the blast-proof glass, and then gently pulled it off with a suction cup, silently removing the entire piece of glass.

The three assassins drew their silenced pistols and filed in.

Meanwhile, on the winding mountain road...

Lin Chen stared intently at the road ahead, his [God-level Driving (Advanced)] skill fully activated.

In his hands, the heavy, armored off-road vehicle seemed to transform into a nimble Formula 1 race car. The accelerator was floored, and the tachometer needle was practically at the redline.

Ahead lies a dangerous series of hairpin bends.

Lin Chen didn't even step on the brakes; his hands moved like phantoms, jerking the steering wheel and pulling up the handbrake at the same time.

squeak--!

The tires screeched violently against the asphalt, emitting large amounts of acrid white smoke. The off-road vehicle, at an incredibly precise angle, hugged the guardrail at the edge of the cliff, completing a perfect four-wheel drift!

Several rich kids who were speeding on the side of the road were so shocked by what they saw that they immediately stopped their cars on the side of the road, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

"Holy crap! That's an off-road vehicle? They're driving it like a fighter jet!"

Lin Chen managed to compress a five-minute drive into one and a half minutes.

In the villa's courtyard, three assassins were just about to sneak up the stairs to the second-floor study.

suddenly!

boom!

A deafening roar ripped through the night!

The heavy, pure copper gate of the villa was smashed to pieces!

The two blinding headlights, like two sharp swords, instantly illuminated the entire first-floor lobby.

The bulletproof SUV, amidst a hail of metal fragments and dust, crashed into the first floor of the villa and came to a sudden stop less than two meters from the stairwell.

The three assassins were startled by this sudden turn of events and immediately raised their guns to aim at the SUV.

boom!

The car door was kicked open and crashed directly into one of the assassins.

Lin Chen appeared in front of the car in an instant, like a demon crawling out of hell, filled with overwhelming killing intent.

[Ding! Master-level combat skills and god-level parkour have been activated!]

Before the assassin who was hit by the car door could even scream, Lin Chen had already turned into a blur and pounced on him.

There were no fancy moves, just pure, brutal crushing!

Lin Chen delivered a flying kick that, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom, slammed into the leader of the assassins' chest.

Click!

A sickening cracking sound echoed through the hall. The assassin's sternum shattered instantly, and he was sent flying more than ten meters away as if hit by a speeding train, crashing heavily against the wall. He coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs and died on the spot.

The remaining two assassins were terrified, their fingers just about to pull the trigger.

Lin Chen appeared among them like a ghost.

He reached out with both hands, precisely grabbed their wrists, and twisted them sharply.

Two pistols fell to the ground.

Lin Chen delivered two powerful backhand chops, striking the two men squarely on their carotid arteries. Without uttering a sound, they collapsed to the ground like two puddles of mud, completely crippled.

The whole process took less than three seconds.

Lin Chen dusted off his hands, stepped over the broken glass, and strode up to the study on the second floor.

He pushed open the door and looked at the petite figure trembling under the desk; the murderous intent in his eyes vanished instantly.

"Ke'er, come out, it's alright. I'm here."
