"hateful!"

Hearing the approaching footsteps, the woman's anxiety grew stronger. She reached out and tugged at the blinds beside her, as if she wanted to hide inside to avoid being searched.

Unfortunately, the security measures on site were exceptionally good. Even the louvers on the ventilation openings were reinforced, making them difficult to open even with tools, let alone by hand.

After several unsuccessful attempts, the woman had no choice but to give up.

The sound of leather shoes hitting the ground grew clearer, and three serious-looking search officers were walking towards them.

Perhaps the subtle sound of the woman moving the blinds was noticed by one of them, because the person in the middle suddenly stopped and frowned.

"what happened?"

The other two looked puzzled.

The man didn't speak, but silently took out a tranquilizer pistol from his pouch and gestured towards the small corridor not far away.

It was a narrow corridor, only one meter wide, dark and unlit, exuding an alluring tranquility.

The other two immediately understood and also took out their pistols, slowly walking towards that direction.

Da-da-da-da

The three held their breath, lowered their footsteps, and slowly approached. When they were still two or three meters away from the small corridor, they suddenly rushed out.

"do not move!"

"Don't move..."

"Ok?"

Looking at the empty corridor, the three of them were taken aback. Soon, the other two turned their attention to the person who had noticed the anomaly earlier.

"Uh...maybe I misheard." The man smiled awkwardly.

The other two rolled their eyes at him, said nothing more, simply put away their pistols, and continued searching other areas.

However, they did not notice that less than four meters above their heads, a figure was using its legs to support its body across the corridor.

And in his arms, he was holding a graceful lady, the same woman from before!

"It seems I've arrived at just the right time, Miss Lin."

Seeing the search team leave, Chen Feng smiled and looked at the woman he had just pulled up in his arms.

Shangguan Lin's astonishment had not yet faded as she stared blankly at the stranger who had just helped her.

His appearance was completely unfamiliar, but his voice and tone were surprisingly familiar.

"Kidd?"

Shangguan Lin spoke hesitantly.

Chen Feng smiled slightly. "Although this place isn't very appropriate, I still want to say that it's a pleasure to see you again, Miss Lin."

As they spoke, Chen Feng gently took Shangguan Lin's right hand and kissed it lightly.

Looking into Chen Feng's relaxed yet profound eyes, Shangguan Lin seemed momentarily dazed, but then she remembered something and naturally withdrew her hand from Chen Feng's.

"Of course, I'm also very happy, and so is Xiaoxi. Ever since you left last time, she's been talking about you almost every day."

Chen Feng also noticed Shangguan Lin's actions, but he didn't say anything, and his face still showed that smiling expression.

"Over here! I just heard a noise over here!"

"You heard me right this time?"

"Trust me one more time! You really heard me right this time!"

"Alright, third brother, you go ahead and block the retreat. Second brother, you come with me. If anything seems amiss, shoot first!"

"Alright, brother!"

The voices of the three members of the pursuit team who had returned interrupted Chen Feng and his companion, who were chatting.

Especially after hearing the rapidly approaching footsteps, a rare look of panic flashed across Shangguan Lin's delicate face.

“Kidd…”

“Don’t worry, ma’am, don’t forget who I am…” Chen Feng gave Shangguan Lin a reassuring smile: “A magician!”

As they spoke, Chen Feng had already slid down from the height with Shangguan Lin. After giving Shangguan Lin a smile, he lifted his clothes, and a wisp of smoke drifted away.

Just a few seconds later, members of the two pursuit teams, one on the left and one on the right, arrived at the entrance of the corridor. Through the dim light, a figure was clearly facing the wall and doing something.

No! Not one! It's two people!

However, another figure, who appeared slightly smaller in comparison, was mostly obscured by the man, who was currently using his body and arms to lean against the wall.

Upon seeing this, the two couldn't contain their excitement!

I thought I'd only catch one today! But I caught two! And they're a pair of notorious thieves, a male and a female! Now who can stop me from getting a promotion and a raise?

Thinking of this, the man called "Boss" could no longer hide his smile. Without further ado, he strode forward and pointed his gun at the two men in the darkness.

"Don't move! Put your hands up, slowly turn around and don't make any other movements, or we'll shoot!"

The second brother reacted a little slower, but he quickly followed and also pointed his gun at the two men.

Seemingly hearing the noise behind him, the man froze and stopped abruptly.

"Turn around slowly! No other movements are allowed!"

The second brother repeated himself, gripping the pistol tightly and pointing it at the man, as if he would shoot immediately if the man made any unusual movement!

……

P.S.: I feel more comfortable writing in the original world. Here's a little spoiler: the reason the protagonist suddenly returns is related to Amya.

"hurry up!"

"Turn around!"

The two urged each other on, their excitement barely concealed.

The man raised his hands and slowly turned around under the expectant gazes of the two men.

"Don't try anything funny! Or I'll shoot... Team team team..."

"What are you talking about? What are you stuttering about? Hurry up and go catch... catch... the... team... captain?"

Upon seeing the man's face clearly, the smiles that had risen on their faces due to excitement instantly froze. After a brief moment of stunned silence, panic and helplessness followed.

"Team...team...captain, it's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!"

The man referred to as the boss quickly put away his pistol and waved his hands in an attempt to explain.

At that moment, he wished he could slap himself hard.

Damn it, why did he come back out of nowhere? Now he's not only failed to achieve anything, but he's also caught the captain having an affair with a hotel waitress! He should be grateful if he doesn't get into trouble with her from now on!

The eldest brother felt a pang of regret.

Before they could even think, they wondered why this woman in the waitress uniform with such a stunning figure seemed like someone they had never seen before.

"roll--"

Sun Luo, his face dark, uttered a single word.

Upon hearing this word, the two felt as if they had been granted a pardon and quickly nodded and left.

"and many more!"

Sun Luo's voice came again, and the two had no choice but to stop, forcing smiles that looked more like tears.

"Is there...anything else you need, Captain?"

"Have you driven yet? Give me the car keys, I need to go out for a bit."

The leader paused for a moment upon hearing this, then glanced at the woman hiding behind his captain, a knowing smile spreading across his face: "The car's parked at the entrance, a black A4. Would you like me to take you there...?"

"No need, you can go ahead and do your work."

Sun Luo snatched the key, pointed at his mouth, and the boss immediately understood, nodding repeatedly to show that he would never talk nonsense.

Watching his captain lead the woman away into the distance until they disappeared around the corner, the boss finally dared to smile and let out a heavy sigh.

"Alright, as the old saying goes, a loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise, and this is exactly what happened."

"Boss... what horse? What fortune?" The second brother scratched his head and stepped forward.

"I told you to read more books, but you wouldn't listen!" The eldest brother, exasperated, gave the second brother a sharp rap on the head, then, seeing the latter's aggrieved look, said smugly:

"Our captain is a decent guy. We caught him in this mess, so as long as we don't say anything, just wait and see. When the captain gets back, he'll definitely reward us..."

"Who wants to give you a reward?"

"Of course it's the team..."

Halfway through his sentence, the leader seemed to realize something and suddenly turned his head.

He then saw that Sun Luo, who had left earlier, had somehow appeared behind him with his men, looking at him with a serious expression.

"Team... Captain? Aren't you...?"

The eldest brother turned around and looked in the direction "Sun Luo" had left, completely bewildered. After a long pause, he finally said:

"Are you... done?"

……

the other side.

Chen Feng had already left the building with Shangguan Lin. With his disguise removed, his casual clothes and long-brimmed sun hat couldn't hide his charisma, attracting the attention of many women on the street.

However, most eyes turned away in shame after noticing Shangguan Lin beside Chen Feng.

"Are you planning to keep holding my hand like this, ma'am?"

Chen Feng's voice came from beside Shangguan Lin's ear.

However, Shangguan Lin wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, she pursed her red lips and glanced at him with a smile:

"What? My presence is stopping you from picking up girls? As your older sister, I have to keep an eye on you for her when Xiaoxi isn't around, right?"
