An American knife seller? No, please acknowledge me as your godfather.

Inside the medical tent.

The tense atmosphere, which was originally on the verge of exploding, melted away as quickly as ice and snow meeting boiling water the moment Lynn appeared.

The scene was as if it had been muted; there was not a sound at all.

You could hear a pin drop.

Everyone's eyes, whether police officers or homeless people, were now fixed on the Dongda man who strolled in leisurely.

Mike and the homeless man's eyes gleamed with undisguised fervent respect and deep awe.

Meanwhile, the fully armed police officers were all on high alert, their eyes filled with deep fear!

Especially Vice-Captain Martin.

He gripped the gun handle tightly, his eyes scanning Lynn up and down, his mind already in turmoil.

With his twenty years of experience as a veteran police officer, he could make a judgment instantly.

The awe shown by the group of unruly homeless people around me was not feigned, but came from the very depths of their souls!

What does this tell us?

This indicates that the man from Tokyo University in front of you must have an exceptionally high status and prestige.

How could a yellow-skinned student from the University of Tokyo have such terrifying prestige in one of Seattle's most chaotic slums?

This is simply... this is simply unheard of!

For a moment, Martin's gaze toward Lynn became extremely solemn.

He was absolutely certain that the man in front of him was no ordinary person!

"Cough cough."

Feeling the intense gazes around him, especially Annie's extremely complex look, Lynn cleared his throat and broke the silence first:

"I think this must be a misunderstanding."

Lynn put his hands in his pockets, a gentle, harmless smile playing on his lips:

"The Seattle Police Department has always upheld the law impartially. Why would they randomly come to the slums and arrest a group of homeless people? The intelligence must be wrong."

After saying that, he turned to look at Annie, who was standing there dumbfounded, and even winked seriously: "Am I right, officer?"

"..."

Annie stood there, stunned.

Her red lips parted, her mind a complete mess, and she forgot how to answer.

Fortunately, Martin reacted quickly and readily got off the donkey.

"Yes, yes, that's right, a misunderstanding! It's a complete and utter misunderstanding!"

Martin quickly lowered his gun, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace: "We Seattle police have always upheld the law impartially, and we're always passionate about charity. Why would we arrest someone for no reason! Haha..."

"See? I told you so."

Lynn shrugged and then turned to look at the dark mass of homeless people around him.

"Everyone, you can all leave now."

Lynn's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority: "These supplies will be distributed tomorrow. I, Lynn, keep my word. Now, go back and rest."

Lynn's words seemed to possess some kind of supernatural power.

The moment the words were spoken, the crowd erupted in a frenzy of response.

"Everyone, listen to Mr. Lin! Disperse!"

"Yes! Mr. Lin, we absolutely believe you!"

"Mr. Lin! We'll stay outside and not leave. If anyone dares to cause you trouble, just say so! I have terminal lung cancer and won't live past next month anyway, so I might as well just blow them up!"

"Exactly! I'm HIV-positive! Anyone who dares to mess with you, I'll bite them to death and spit their poisonous blood and milk on them!"

"..."

Listening to the death oaths of these madmen, which sounded like the words of tigers and wolves.

Martin and the other tactical officers instantly broke out in a cold sweat, their palms soaked through as they gripped their guns.

My goodness! These reckless lunatics are practically aging emperors wielding ultimate weapons!

This is absolutely terrifying!

"..." Lynn's eyes twitched slightly.

He muttered to himself that it was really unnecessary.

Lynn's words were like a royal decree to the group of homeless people.

In no time, the once bustling and crowded army of homeless people receded like a tide.

In the blink of an eye, only Mike and a few of his trusted men, along with a sweating police squad, remained inside the huge tent.

In an instant, the air inside the room became much fresher.

Only then did the officers, led by Martin, breathe a sigh of relief, their wildly beating hearts slowly calming down.

Jimmy, a recent graduate and newbie, was constantly wiping away cold sweat with his sleeves.

Five or six black thugs together are enough to cause a headache, but what we just saw were hundreds of drug addicts and terminally ill patients ready to risk their lives at any moment!

They're not SWAT teams (Special Weapons and Tactics Teams), they've never seen such a terrifying scene before.

"Um... Mr. Lin."

Martin swallowed hard, trying to lower his voice and make it sound gentle: "Since it's already been verified that it was a misunderstanding, then we won't disturb you any longer..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Lynn raised his hand and interrupted him without any politeness.

Instead of responding to Martin, she took two steps forward and came to Annie's side.

His gaze was fixed on that cold, beautiful face, and he smiled slightly: "Officer, may I speak to you in private?"

The words fell.

Martin's lips twitched violently, and his face instantly turned extremely ugly.

This is utterly disrespectful to him, it's outrageous!

However, at this moment he only dared to complain in his heart and dared not show it at all.

If they angered the other party, their team might not be able to leave this slum park.

There were far more homeless people outside the tent than he had bullets.

Upon hearing this, Annie stared at Lynn with a complex expression for a full three seconds before finally nodding gently, "Okay."

Lynn immediately turned her head and gave Mike a very imposing look.

Mike instantly understood, and immediately waved his hand, leading a few of his underlings out of the tent in a swift and decisive manner.

Annie then glanced at Martin, her meaning clear.

Martin frowned, his expression full of hesitation.

The director sent him here, and his primary task was to protect the safety of this newly arrived young lady. Who would have thought he would encounter such a bizarre scene!

Leaving Envy alone by the side of this unfathomable man from Tokyo University would be too risky!

"Martin, take your squad out to keep watch. No one is allowed to come in without my orders."

Just as Martin was hesitating, Annie gave him a direct order.

"...Yes, sir!"

Martin gritted his teeth, gave Lynn a deep look, and led his men to a swift retreat.

soon.

Inside the spacious medical tent, only Lynn and Annie remained.

With no outsiders present, Lynn's expression instantly relaxed considerably.

His gaze lingered unabashedly on the stunning policewoman before him, a slight smile playing on his lips: "I never expected we'd run into each other here."

"I never expected to run into you here."

Annie's voice was hoarse and dry as she pressed on with piercing eyes, "What are you doing here? Why were those vicious people so... towards you?"

Although the words were not finished, the meaning they wanted to express was already quite clear.

Lynn shrugged and casually pointed to the mountain of supplies behind him:

"I come here to do charity work, I come every day! Maybe that's why these poor people at the very bottom of society give me some face."

Annie didn't respond to his words, but just stared intently at Lynn's angular profile.

Her eyes held the look of someone who was truly meeting this man for the first time today.

Sensing Annie's sharp gaze, Lynn not only didn't back down but instead aggressively met her gaze.

Their eyes met.

Lynn's gaze wandered freely downwards, following the other person's eyes.

Because of the intense tactical maneuvers just now, Annie was visibly sweating.

The collar of the dark blue police uniform shirt was slightly open, the fabric soaked with sweat and clinging tightly to the fabric, outlining a breathtakingly imposing silhouette.

Below the collarbone, a large expanse of dazzlingly white and smooth skin was revealed.

A layer of glistening sweat covered her smooth forehead and delicate collarbone.

This demeanor sheds her usual coldness and aloofness, instead exuding a fatal, mature woman's charm.

The most critical thing is...

Annie doesn't have the pungent body odor often found in white people from Europe and America.

Instead, there was a wonderful scent of fine sweat mixed with a high-end cool-toned perfume and her own subtle natural body fragrance.

It was an extremely unique and delicate fragrance.

Like a rose with thorns, it makes you want to greedily take a second sniff after just one whiff deep into your nasal cavity.

It seemed that Lynn was looking at him with an aggressive gaze that carried a tangible warmth.

Annie blushed slightly and instinctively took a half step back.

He then seemed somewhat embarrassed and angry, his face suddenly darkening, his voice carrying a strong sense of professional pressure: "Lin, this is what they call illegal black-market doctors, isn't it?"

She is not stupid.

On the contrary, she was extremely intelligent; otherwise, she could not have graduated with top marks in all police academy assessments.

Today's events were strange from beginning to end.

Once she calmed down, she quickly pieced together the whole truth hidden behind it all.

The intelligence provided by the police clearly indicated that this was a small, unlicensed medical clinic, and they even had evidence of secretly taken photos.

But during today's raid, not a single trace of medical equipment was left at the scene!

What does this mean? It means the other party definitely received advance notice!

Last night, I happened to tell the news to Lynn alone.

In addition, Lynn himself is highly skilled in surgery, and he just happens to be here today.

Most importantly, Lynn has such terrifying prestige here!

With all the clues connected, the answer is becoming increasingly clear.

"That's right."

When questioned, Lynn didn't even blink.

Without any attempt to conceal anything, he frankly admitted, "I am the quack doctor you're trying to arrest, and this is my private office."

Such a decisive, even somewhat arrogant, attitude of admitting guilt completely stunned Annie.

She pursed her sexy red lips tightly, her brows furrowed: "Don't you... want to defend yourself at all?"

"An explanation?" Lynn chuckled lightly.

He turned around, casually pulled over a worn-out folding chair and handed it to Annie, then plopped down on the supply crate and crossed his legs.

Why should I defend myself?

Lynn stared intently at Annie, "First of all, I have never denied that I am an unlicensed doctor. Secondly, I don't think there's anything wrong with being an unlicensed doctor."

"That's sophistry! You're breaking the law!" Annie retorted sharply.

"The law? Officer, open your beautiful eyes and look outside!"

Lynn suddenly leaned forward, his eyes flashing with an astonishing pressure:

"Look at those homeless people outside who can't even get food! If it weren't for me, they would have died from the pain of a minor infection, starved to death, or died in some neglected, stinking ditch long ago!"

"I treat their fevers and set their broken bones! It's because of me, the heinous quack doctor in your eyes, that they can stand here alive and breathing today!"

Lynn's voice was firm and resolute, striking Annie's heart like a hammer blow: "I don't think I did anything wrong by saving people!"

Finally, Lynn abruptly stood up, opened his arms with a righteous air, and looked directly into Annie's trembling eyes:

"If you believe that those poor people in this world who can't afford public hospitals deserve to die, then I admit, I'm guilty!"

Lynn suddenly clasped his hands together and handed them directly to Annie: "Come on, officer, take out the handcuffs and arrest me."

This set of seemingly contradictory yet logically consistent and impeccable arguments completely baffled Annie!

She grew up in a wealthy family and never had to lift a finger. Even when she was sick, she had a top-notch private doctor come to her door to provide services.

Faced with Lynn's theory disguised as a redemption of the underclass, their already fragile worldview was immediately shaken and impacted!

"I...I didn't mean that!" Annie exclaimed anxiously.

He had prepared a whole host of harsh words for questioning and interrogation, but he swallowed them all back down.

At that moment, she was completely unaware that she had become the weaker party in this confrontation.

Seeing this, Lynn pressed his advantage, pressing closer: "So what are you trying to do today, barging in with so many guns and acting so aggressively? Aren't you here to arrest me?"

"I……"

Annie was completely speechless, her beautiful face filled with deep confusion and helplessness.

Noticing Annie's vulnerable expression, Lynn's lips curled into a barely perceptible wicked smile.

next moment.

Lynn suddenly took another step forward, almost touching Annie.

His hands remained stubbornly held out in mid-air, and his voice suddenly became extremely low and ambiguous:

"Don't hesitate. If I have to be arrested today, and if the person who puts the handcuffs on me is you... officer, I'm willing."

As soon as she finished speaking, Annie's delicate body trembled violently!

At extremely close distance.

She could even clearly smell the faint, strange scent emanating from Lynn, a mixture of tobacco and hormones.

That indescribable fragrance, yet one that she couldn't resist!

In an instant, her heart, which had always been as firm as a rock, was inexplicably and violently stirred.

"call--"

After a few short, deep breaths, Annie shook the jumbled thoughts from her mind.

"...Just pretend I didn't see anything today! I was never even here!"

After saying that, she turned around and strode out of the tent.

I dare not look into Lynn's eyes again, eyes that seem to see right through people.

He felt bitter and self-deprecating; so what if the mission failed? At worst, he'd get a good scolding from the bureau chief when he got back.

It seems she really can't bring herself to grab Lynn.

Well, I just don't want to destroy the only hope in this slum with my own hands.

Just when Envy thought her first real mission as a team leader was about to end in failure.

"Officer Annie!"

Lynn stepped forward, his deep, magnetic voice drifting over like a devil's whisper:

"You don't want to be branded with the shame of a failed mission on your first time leading a team, do you?"

Ok?

Annie stopped abruptly and turned around abruptly.

Under dim lighting.

Lynn put his hands in his pockets, a knowing smile on his face.

"If police officers need to meet performance targets to satisfy their demands..."

Lynn's lips curled into a slight smile, her voice rising: "I happen to know of one, a truly evil black clinic that feeds on the blood and flesh of the poor!"
