NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1232: Petty Thief
Xiao Yushan was almost bewildered by the sudden kiss; she never dreamed her first kiss would be gone so haphazardly.
She was about to struggle but saw the man in sunglasses walking in their direction.
Lin Chen grabbed Xiao Yushan's slender waist and spun 360 degrees, pressing her directly against the wall.
Xiao Yushan's body shivered, her eyes showing a look of both embarrassment and anger.
"Wow, this is too intense!"
Their actions immediately attracted the crowd's attention, especially the men, who were full of envy and jealousy.
This is totally torturing single men!
The middle-aged man also stopped his steps, glanced in their direction, and a mocking smile slipped across his lips.
Feeling watched by the middle-aged man, Xiao Yushan instantly tensed up, clinging to Lin Chen's neck and burying her face in his chest.
Finally, the middle-aged man looked for a moment and walked into a nearby coffee shop.
Xiao Yushan was about to follow when Lin Chen held her back.
"Hey, that person is dangerous; if you keep following him, you'll end up losing your life," Lin Chen said seriously.
"You know him?" Xiao Yushan asked, confused, looking at Lin Chen.
"No, but the guy exudes a heavy murderous vibe, not someone a small-time cop like you can handle. I think you better not throw your life away," Lin Chen advised casually.
"I can't let him go; that guy is an A-level wanted criminal, extremely dangerous. Several of my colleagues have died at his hands," Xiao Yushan said with a vengeance burning in her eyes.
Lin Chen looked at the man inside the coffee shop, who was drinking coffee while reading a newspaper.
This man was in his early thirties, wearing a black trench coat, sporting a scruffy beard, with a fierce complexion. Every move was steady as Mount Tai, clearly a martial arts expert.
"This guy's build is very rugged, indicating he practices hard-core skills; at the very least, he's an Innate Realm expert."
"His right arm has a gunshot wound, likely from a year ago."
"The murderous aura on him is strong, with at least a hundred lives on his hands."
Xiao Yushan stared blankly at Lin Chen, almost dumbfounded. She never expected this rogue she saw could see through the assassin so clearly from such a distance.
Moreover, the gunshot wound Lin Chen mentioned was indeed left from a capture attempt a year ago.
This assassin, named Bloodhand, is a notorious criminal.
A year ago, even the SWAT team was deployed to capture him, but six were killed and seven wounded in the process, and this guy escaped with a mere gunshot wound on his arm.
Today, Xiao Yushan was originally planning for a vacation but unexpectedly ran into this guy at the station.
Initially, she wasn't sure if this was the assassin, hence she followed him all the way here.
"Did you see the bulge at his waist? There's a Makarov pistol hidden there, and his right hand's web is full of calluses; it's obvious he's a gun expert."
"Enough! Why are you telling me all this? You leave quickly; I'll call for reinforcements. This time, he's definitely not getting away." Xiao Yushan took out her phone to notify the police team for backup.
"I've told you so much, yet you still don't understand? In this environment, if you mobilize a massive force to capture him, I can't guarantee you can catch him, but I can guarantee a lot of people will die, including these innocent civilians," Lin Chen remarked casually.
"Then what do you expect me to do? Watch this guy escape? Do you know, he kills, traffics drugs, sells arms, and if he escapes, he'll be even more harmful; regardless, I must capture him today!" Xiao Yushan said resolutely.
Seeing the determination in Xiao Yushan's eyes, Lin Chen's mind suddenly flashed an image, causing his body to tremble slightly.
"Fine, it's really troublesome. I'll help you catch this guy!" Lin Chen sighed.
Actually, Lin Chen didn't want to meddle in this, but he couldn't bear to let this girl go get herself killed, especially after they've hugged, cuddled, and kissed; a man should take responsibility.
"Can you really do it?" Xiao Yushan looked at Lin Chen with skepticism.
"Can I do it? Why don't we test it in bed?" Lin Chen said jokingly, eyeing Xiao Yushan's jade-like figure.
"Forget it, I don't need you; I'll go catch him myself," Xiao Yushan retorted angrily.
Lin Chen sneered: "If you go alone, it's suicide. If you agree to three conditions, I'll help you catch him."
"What conditions?" Xiao Yushan asked anxiously.
"First, I can help catch him, but you must keep my involvement confidential, don't expose my identity."
Xiao Yushan nodded, "No problem."
"Second, if I help you catch him, you must give me a reward," Lin Chen continued.
After hearing Lin Chen, Xiao Yushan felt a bit disappointed, realizing this guy was a slave to money.
"How much do you want?" Xiao Yushan asked.
"Ten bucks!" Lin Chen replied without hesitation.
"What? Ten bucks?" Xiao Yushan was stunned by Lin Chen's response.
"Too much? How about five bucks?" Lin Chen said, a bit unsure.
Seeing Xiao Yushan still not agreeing, Lin Chen bit his lip: "Final offer, two bucks no less, I need to take the bus."
"Forget it, I'll give you a hundred," Xiao Yushan finally interjected unbearably.
"A hundred!" Lin Chen was surprised, thinking she must be quite wealthy!
"What's the third condition?" Xiao Yushan looked nervously at Bloodhand, fearing he'd escape.
Lin Chen suddenly put on a serious expression: "The third one is crucial; if you don't agree, I won't help."
"Go ahead!" Xiao Yushan said, puzzled.
"The third condition is, after I catch the assassin for you, we can sleep together, but you're not allowed to fall in love with me. Although I'm handsome and awesome, I'm very serious about relationships, and I don't want a lady cop fawning over me, insisting to marry me, following me around constantly!"
"In your dreams, I'd never sleep with a scumbag like you! And do you think you're Andy Lau or Lu Han, neither deep nor a fresh face, I'm not interested in you at all." Xiao Yushan glared at Lin Chen with angry, watery eyes.
For some reason, Lin Chen's words stirred up an inexplicable anger in her.
Since childhood, Xiao Yushan had never encountered such a narcissistic and shameless person. Afraid I might cling to him? I would rather lock you up for ten or eight years, damn rascal!
Lin Chen boasted, "Alright then, I'll help you catch this petty thief!"
"Petty thief?" Xiao Yushan was speechless; this guy's boasting was too much!
