With a single order from Gu Yongjun, the entire second-floor corridor was completely taken over.
The officers moved swiftly, separating and controlling the men and women suspected of prostitution. Wang Boda, lying on the ground, was also dragged up like a dead dog by two veteran criminal investigators.
The scene was bustling with activity, yet Li Fan, the biggest contributor, found himself with nothing to do.
He stood off to the side, watching the lively scene before him, his heart surging with excitement.
At that moment, the cold mechanical voice sounded again.
[Ding! Host successfully captured 8 criminals involved in organized crime and vice, earning 800 points!]
[Ding! Host successfully captured 15 individuals involved in prostitution activities, earning 1500 points!]
[Ding! Host successfully captured A-Level Wanted Criminal Wang Boda, earning a special reward of 3000 points!]
[Total points earned in this operation: 5300 points!]
Li Fan’s heart jolted violently, and a wave of wild joy surged through him.
5300 points!
He had struck it rich. This was an absolute jackpot!
According to the system rules, 100 points allowed one draw, but he needed to reach 1000 points to unlock a draw. Now with 5300 points, he could draw five times, giving him fifty chances to win.
However, with so many people around, this wasn’t the time to study the system.
Li Fan suppressed his excitement and decided to properly explore the lottery function after returning home.
At 11 p.m., Xiamen City, Huli District, Zhongzhai Village.
This was a typical urban village, densely populated with migrants, full of everyday life.
A newly built street was brightly lit, with barbecue stalls and open-air eateries bustling with noise, forming a sharp contrast with the dim old buildings not far away.
Behind the village was the sea. The ocean breeze, carrying a salty, damp scent, swept away the heat of the summer night.
Li Fan rode his small electric scooter through the lively new street, turned into a narrow alley, and stopped in front of a six-story self-built residential building.
This was his home. The first to fifth floors were rented out, while his family lived on the top, sixth floor.
After parking his scooter in the shed, Li Fan whistled happily as he headed upstairs.
Today had truly been a rollercoaster, full of twists and excitement.
Fortunately, all the tedious follow-up work had been taken over by the Huli Police Station and the Municipal Bureau. It had little to do with him, an intern. This chapter was copied from novelping(.)com without permission.
He took out his key and unlocked the door.
Click.
The scene in the living room instantly froze the smile on his face.
His father, Li Weihua, and mother, Liang Ailan, were sitting upright on the sofa, not watching TV, just staring straight at the door with serious expressions, like they were conducting a full interrogation.
On the single sofa nearby, a petite figure in pink rabbit pajamas was curled up. Her slender, fair legs were tucked in front of her, and she hugged a bag of chips, munching away like a little hamster storing food.
Her name was Liang Xiaohui, nominally Li Fan’s aunt.
Back then, their grandparents had adopted her when she was young. After they passed away unexpectedly, Liang Ailan brought her along when she married Li Weihua. The couple raised her together with Li Fan.
Though they had no blood relation, they were closer than real siblings.
Liang Xiaohui had a delicate, harmless doll-like face and a small, petite figure. Yet her personality was mischievous and lively. She loved teasing Li Fan, but always ended up being outplayed by him.
A classic case of being bad at it but loving it anyway.
At that moment, when she saw Li Fan return, her big eyes blinked. She quickly glanced at him, and her gaze clearly said, “Good luck to you.”
Then she lowered her head again, happily munching on chips, obviously preparing to watch the show.
Li Fan’s scalp tingled. He awkwardly changed his shoes and slowly shuffled over to sit on the sofa.
“Ahem, Dad, Mom, you’re not asleep yet?”
Liang Ailan raised her eyelids, her tone unfriendly. “What, if we don’t sleep, are we disturbing you from bringing your girlfriend home?”
“How did the blind date go?” Li Weihua adjusted his glasses and went straight to the point.
Here it comes. Just as expected.
Li Fan scratched his head. Facing their piercing stares, he hesitated, unsure how to begin.
“Speak!” Liang Ailan slapped the armrest and glared.
With no way out, Li Fan gritted his teeth and said, “That girl… she was pretty good, it’s just… I sent her in.”
“I mean… detained,” Li Fan added.
An eerie silence filled the living room.
Li Weihua and Liang Ailan stared at each other, clearly unable to process this out-of-syllabus information.
“Pfft—”
A strange sound broke the silence.
Liang Xiaohui, who had just taken a sip of cola, spat it out directly, spraying it all over Li Fan’s pants.
“Liang Xiaohui!” Li Fan exploded, glaring at her.
“Cough cough… sorry, sorry, I couldn’t hold it in…” Liang Xiaohui choked on the cola, apologizing while secretly laughing, her shoulders shaking.
After catching her breath, she immediately put on a serious face, cleared her throat, and puffed out her small chest. “Watch your attitude. I’m your aunt!”
“I’m going to beat you today!” Li Fan made a move to pounce.
“Sit down!”
The two parents shouted in unison, instantly extinguishing his momentum.
Liang Ailan pointed at Li Fan, so angry her hand trembled. “Explain clearly what happened! A perfectly normal blind date, and you sent the girl into detention?!”
Li Fan pursed his lips and had no choice but to recount everything that had happened that day.
From how Zhang Xue had acted arrogant and sharp-tongued in the café, to how, during the nighttime crackdown, he had accidentally caught her and her client in bed.
He told the whole story with righteous indignation, filled with harsh criticism of society’s ugly side.
Meanwhile, his parents on the sofa, along with Liang Xiaohui who was eavesdropping with her ears perked up, listened with stunned expressions, as if hearing some urban legend.
“…That’s what happened.” Li Fan spread his hands and concluded. “So the final result of this blind date is, she went in, and I earned merit.”
He looked at his frozen family, sighed, and said earnestly, “Dad, Mom, look at me. I’m outstanding and well-grounded. I definitely won’t have trouble finding a partner in the future. So please stop arranging random matches. This one was way too unreliable.”
Li Weihua and Liang Ailan exchanged a glance, their expressions extremely complicated.
They had originally been full of anger, ready to scold their irresponsible son. But after hearing this bizarre experience, that anger had somehow dissipated, leaving only absurdity and lingering fear.
In the end, Liang Ailan rolled her eyes at Li Fan, grumbling as she stood up. “Too lazy to deal with you!”
With that, she pulled Li Weihua, who also looked speechless, back into their room.
