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

Lin Chen had just finished drawing the relationship network in front of the whiteboard and put down his marker when his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

The caller ID showed it was the father, Lin Haifeng.

Lin Chen answered the phone, and Lin Haifeng's anxious, even trembling voice immediately came through the receiver: "Xiao Chen, come to the highway checkpoint on the outskirts of Beijing right away! Something terrible has happened! The police say I have contraband in my truck, and they're going to arrest me!"

Lin Chen's eyes instantly turned extremely cold.

Lin Haifeng has driven trucks his whole life. He is honest and upright to the core. He would never dare to run a yellow light. How could he possibly touch such a dangerous contraband?

This is definitely someone pulling the strings behind the scenes, deliberately framing and slandering me!

[God-level danger perception activated... No signs of life threat detected at present.]

The fact that the system did not issue a danger alert indicates that this was not an assassination attempt, but a premeditated conspiracy.

"Dad, don't panic. Don't get into a conflict with the police. Give the phone to the officer in charge, and I'll be right there." Lin Chen's tone was calm, reassuring his father.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen didn't even have time to say goodbye to Jiang Tingxue before turning around and rushing out of the biochemistry lab.

Lin Chen jumped into the bulletproof SUV and floored the accelerator. The SUV's engine roared as it sped onto the highway leading to the outskirts of Beijing.

Twenty minutes later, Lin Chen arrived at the highway checkpoint on the outskirts of Beijing.

A long yellow warning line had been set up ahead, and several police cars were parked on the side of the road with their red and blue lights flashing alternately, creating a very tense atmosphere.

A heavy semi-trailer truck was parked in the middle of the inspection lane, and several fully armed anti-drug police officers were searching the side of the truck with two police dogs.

Lin Haifeng was pinned to the side of the car by two policemen, his face ashen, sweating profusely, waving his hands frantically as he explained, "Officers, I really don't know how these things got onto my truck! I'm just a truck driver, I wouldn't dare transport something this dangerous even if you gave me a hundred lives!"

Opposite Lin Haifeng stood a middle-aged man with a large belly and a fierce face. This man was the captain of the logistics truck team, surnamed Liu.

Captain Liu pointed at Lin Haifeng's nose, spitting as he yelled, "Old Lin! I only gave you this good job because I thought you were honest and reliable! How dare you use the company vehicle to transport drugs? You're pushing our entire fleet into a fire pit! Officers, you need to investigate this thoroughly. This has absolutely nothing to do with our logistics company; it's all his personal doing!"

Several truck drivers who were stuck behind him also stopped to watch and pointed at Lin Haifeng.

"He looks like a very honest person, but I didn't expect him to be so bold as to touch this thing."

"These days, you can only know a person's face, not their heart. They'll do anything for money."

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Lin Haifeng was speechless and stamped his feet in frustration.

Just then, a cold shout came from the outer edge of the crowd.

"Get out of the way!"

Lin Chen strode into the crowd. His tall stature and the sharp, battle-hardened aura he exuded sent a chill down the spines of those around him, who instinctively stepped aside to make way for him.

"Xiao Chen!" Lin Haifeng saw his son and it was like a drowning person grabbing a lifeline.

Lin Chen walked up and, without saying a word, grabbed Captain Liu by the collar and pulled him aside like a chick, shielding his father behind him.

"Who are you! How dare you hit someone? Officers, look at this, is there no law here?!" Captain Liu was pushed flat on his back and sat on the ground, howling at the top of his lungs.

The narcotics officer leading the team frowned, stepped forward, and placed his hand on his hip: "What are you doing? Step back, don't obstruct official business!"

Lin Chen took out his special advisor badge and handed it over directly: "Lin Chen, special advisor to the Major Crimes Unit of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau. This is my father. I suspect he has been framed."

The police officer in charge took the identification and examined it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, his attitude softened considerably, but he still acted in an official capacity: "Advisor Lin, we found three boxes of white powder disguised as health products in a hidden compartment under the chassis of the truck your father was driving. We initially suspect it is a large dose of contraband. Now that we have caught him red-handed, even if he is your father, we must proceed according to legal procedures."

Lin Chen nodded: "I understand your work, but I request to personally inspect this batch of so-called 'contraband'."

The narcotics officer hesitated for a moment, then waved for someone to bring over the boxes they had found.

The box was opened, revealing packets of white powder tightly sealed with tin foil.

Lin Chen didn't even extend his hand; he simply activated his [God-Level Sense of Smell].

The faint scent in the air was instantly detected, amplified, and decomposed by his nose.

The flavor has a peculiar sweetness, as well as a pungent smell of synthetic chemicals.

Lin Chen immediately let out a cold laugh.

This is not a traditional drug at all!

This is a semi-finished product of the mind control drug "Elysium" that he and Jiang Tingxue had just analyzed in the laboratory!

The other party stuffed this thing into the father's car, clearly to find a scapegoat and divert the police's attention.

Lin Chen turned his head, his gaze as sharp as a knife as he stared intently at Captain Liu, who was sitting on the ground.

[Master-level micro-expression analysis begins!]

In Lin Chen's view, Captain Liu's seemingly indignant mask was instantly torn off. The flesh on his face twitched slightly, his eyes wandered around, he didn't dare to meet Lin Chen's gaze, his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and his hands unconsciously clenched his trouser legs tightly.

These subtle movements all revealed his extreme insecurity.

"Officer, this thing definitely doesn't belong to my dad." Lin Chen's voice was as cold as ice shards.

He strode over to the truck, bent down, and carefully examined the hidden compartment in the chassis where the drugs were concealed.

[Divine Insight Activated!]

Lin Chen stretched out his hand and pointed to the metal latch on the edge of the hidden compartment: "Look here."

The anti-drug police officers moved closer.

"The latch on this hidden compartment has very obvious fresh pry marks. More importantly, the weld next to it has been re-welded on." Lin Chen turned to the police officer in charge. "Officer, feel this weld."

The anti-drug officer reached out with some skepticism, his fingers just touching the weld seam.

"Hiss!" The narcotics officer immediately withdrew his hand, his face filled with shock. "It's hot!"

The surrounding crowd erupted in uproar.

Lin Chen's eyes were sharp, and his voice was loud: "My dad has been driving on the highway the whole time since he left. Where would he have found the time or welding equipment to make a hidden compartment? This latch was obviously pried open half an hour ago, stuffed in, and then hastily welded back on!"

Captain Liu's face paled, and he stammered, trying to explain, "What...what does this have to do with me? Maybe he ran into his accomplices on the way and they did it!"

Lin Chen approached Captain Liu step by step.

"You usually don't handle scheduling at all, but today you insisted on making my dad drive this route, which is unprecedented. During the rest stop, you shamelessly dragged him to eat, leaving the vehicle unattended for a full half hour. Who else had time to move this vehicle besides you?"

With each word Lin Chen spoke, Captain Liu's face paled a little more, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead like soybeans.

"You think you've covered your tracks perfectly?" Lin Chen grabbed his collar, lifting him into the air. His voice was like that of a demon from hell. "Tell me! Who paid you to stuff this batch of goods into my dad's car as a scapegoat?!"
