"Got it!" Qi Manlin replied nonchalantly, her eyes unconsciously scanning the sleazy guy across from her. He was still leering at her chest, "gathering intelligence," with a look that was begging for a slap. "The scout has confirmed that the suspect is carrying ammunition in an army green hiking backpack!" Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Understood! Don’t act rashly. The key is to protect Xiaowan!" As for Deputy Captain Bai Kaixin, Qi Manlin was well aware of his capabilities. He was notorious in the department for being a useless fool — every case he handled ended in failure. Yet, through the connections of his aunt and her close tie with the current Chief, he managed to become a Deputy Captain, and he didn’t even respect Qi Manlin, who was the actual Captain! "Don’t act without thinking. I’ll handle the suspect’s arrest. Your job is to protect Xiaowan. I’ve already lulled the suspect into a false sense of security. I’m confident I can apprehend him in one move. But since he has firearms and ammunition in his bag, don’t underestimate him. If anything goes wrong, innocents could get hurt!" "Captain Qi, you’re just trying to take the credit. This intelligence was obviously discovered by me. The team has promotion slots next month. Don’t tell me you want to hog all the credit? Let me handle it. I’ll take him down with one punch and split the credit with you!" Qi Manlin was startled. She should have known better than to bring this fool along. She quickly warned, "Bai Kaixin, don’t mess around! Xiaowan’s safety is the priority. Besides, the suspect might not be alone. If anything happens, not only can’t we protect Su Xiaowan, but who knows how many passengers will be caught up!" "Captain Qi, I think you’re just greedy for credit. Let me tell you, this time, no one can take the main credit from me..." "Hey! Hey! Don’t forget your mission is to protect Su Xiaowan..." That damn Bai Kaixin dared to hang up on his superior’s scolding! Qi Manlin was fuming inside; this guy was notoriously a useless fool and an egomaniac! She was capable of catching the suspect herself, but if anything happened to Su Xiaowan, how would she face her good friend Sophie? Having set up such an elaborate trap, if they lost the bait without catching the wolf, wouldn’t that be a huge loss? Qi Manlin lowered her head to think of a countermeasure. If that idiot really came over, how could they avoid alerting the suspect? She glanced again at Lin Mu across from her. He still had a leering look and didn’t suspect her. Phew, that was close! Luckily, the suspect seemed not too bright! If Lin Mu heard her thoughts, he would probably hang himself with a noodle or bash his head against tofu! Qi Manlin’s heart wasn’t calm; she felt like something unexpected might happen. She took off her earbuds, her mind restless. After all, she was only twenty-three, newly promoted to Captain, and lacked experience. People’s lives were at stake! If she slipped up and the assassin seized the opportunity, and if anything happened to Su Xiaowan, how could she face her good friend Sophie, President Su? Lin Mu looked at her expression and stopped talking, both guessing the other’s thoughts. Suddenly, Lin Mu appeared to be in a hurry, clutching his stomach, anxious. He reached into his hiking backpack with both hands... At that moment, Qi Manlin was closely observing his every move, her heart nearly leaping out of her chest when he reached in! The situation was urgent. The suspect must have changed his plans, or perhaps he had already guessed her intentions... She grabbed the suspect’s arm without hesitation, "Stop!" What the hell is happening? The beauty now had her eyes wide open, a stance like a tigress coming down the mountain! "What?" "What are you trying to do?" "I... had four big bowls of eight-treasure porridge, five big buns this morning, and just now ate six pounds of bananas. My stomach feels tight. I want... to go to the bathroom, you... What’s going on?" Lin Mu looked at the baffling beauty in front of him, and his hand was slowly being pulled out of the backpack, revealing just some napkins. It was a false alarm; turns out he was just stuffed and needed to take a dump. He might as well take the opportunity to look in the mirror, see if he’s really gotten more handsome. He could actually have close physical contact with a beauty, even if it was only his arm, but for the parched soul of Lin Mu, that feeling was akin to getting an electric shock! "Oh... no problem..." Qi Manlin then realized how tense she had been, and in tension, she became a bit neurotic, which might seem crazy to others. But it was all because of this fool sitting there, suddenly needing to go poop for no reason. She started silently cursing this guy in her heart, four big bowls of eight-treasure porridge, five big buns, plus six pounds of bananas—what a glutton! Dammit, might as well eat until you burst!
