Li Fan’s voice echoed through the silent corridor, each word striking like a bullet, piercing the ears of every officer present.
The Yushui Club is suspected of organizing prostitution? Initial control taken? An A-Level Wanted Criminal, Wang Boda, discovered by accident? Successfully captured alive?
Gu Yongjun and the dozen or so armed officers behind him froze in place, their expressions as if they had just seen a ghost. Their minds buzzed, and for a moment they simply could not process the overwhelming amount of information in that report.
The A-Level Wanted Criminal the entire Xiamen City Municipal Bureau had been hunting across the city, turning everything upside down… was caught just like that? By an intern? During a prostitution crackdown? Just like picking something up along the way?
Was this a movie, or some kind of myth?
Gu Yongjun’s gaze moved past Li Fan and locked onto the blood-soaked, barely recognizable figure at his feet. His adam’s apple bobbed. The anger and worry that had filled him moments ago were completely replaced by a shock so absurd it bordered on disbelief.
“You said… who is he?” Gu Yongjun’s voice was dry, like sandpaper scraping against metal.
“Reporting, Director, an A-Level Wanted Criminal, Wang Boda!” Li Fan replied firmly.
Dead silence fell over the corridor. Everyone stared at the mangled heap on the ground as if the air itself had solidified.
In the corner, where the row of trembling “quails” crouched against the wall, Zhang Xue and Pei Xingwei shuddered violently.
An A-Level Wanted Criminal?
The one from the news? The murderer who had killed so many people?
They had just been on the same floor as that kind of desperate criminal?
The two of them instinctively glanced at Wang Boda’s miserable state, then at Li Fan standing tall and calm, his expression unchanged. A chill shot from the base of their spines straight to the tops of their heads.
Thankfully… thankfully they hadn’t let their heads heat up and tried to run or resist just now. Otherwise, their fate might not have been much better than the guy lying on the ground.
Zhang Xue’s face turned ashen. She finally understood what kind of person she had mocked and belittled in the coffee shop that afternoon.
“Verify his identity!”
Gu Yongjun finally found his voice. He nearly roared the order.
Two veteran criminal investigators stepped forward immediately. One pulled out his phone and brought up Wang Boda’s wanted notice photo. The other carefully crouched down and, wearing gloves, lifted the blood-stained face to compare it closely.
Time seemed to stretch in that moment. Everyone’s heart was in their throat, including Gu Yongjun. He stared without blinking, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
“Di… Director…” The veteran officer responsible for the comparison was trembling. He looked up, his face filled with incredulous joy and excitement. “It’s… it’s him! The knife scar at the corner of his eyebrow, the mole at the corner of his mouth. There’s no mistake. It’s Wang Boda!” This chapter was copied from novelping . com without permission.
“Junior Brother is incredible! He really single-handedly caught an A-Level Wanted Criminal!”
“Holy crap, this… this… this!”
“This is insane!”
Boom!
The confirmation exploded in everyone’s minds like a nuclear bomb.
It really was him.
The A-Level Wanted Criminal who had made the entire Xiamen City police force lose face and had the Municipal Bureau leaders slamming their desks in fury had truly been captured by Huli Police Station.
“Damn!”
No one knew who cursed first, but the suffocating atmosphere ignited instantly.
“We got him! We really got him!”
“Damn it! That bastard is finally in custody!”
The officers who had just been on high alert were now completely fired up. Excitement, exhilaration, and wild joy intertwined, filling the entire corridor with a rush of triumph.
Amid the frenzy, everyone’s gaze focused on Li Fan like searchlights.
Shock, admiration, disbelief, and finally, deep respect.
An intern?
This was more like a warrior sent from the heavens.
Gu Yongjun strode up to Li Fan. His usually stern, square face could no longer maintain its composure and was flushed with excitement.
He didn’t speak at first. Instead, he extended his broad palm and patted Li Fan from top to bottom, making sure he hadn’t lost an arm or a leg. Then he gave his shoulder a heavy slap.
“Good kid!”
Gu Yongjun said “good” three times in a row, his voice booming with undisguised praise and lingering fear.
“You brat… you really almost poked a hole in the sky for me!” Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
He cursed, but the smile in his eyes was impossible to hide.
“This time, you’ve made a huge contribution. A massive one! I’ll personally request credit for you from the Municipal Bureau. If anyone dares to object, I’ll be the first to slap them!”
The surrounding officers and auxiliary police looked at Li Fan being praised publicly by the Director. Their eyes were filled with envy, but not a trace of jealousy.
Jealous?
He had single-handedly captured an A-Level Wanted Criminal alive. Who would dare not accept that kind of record?
Several interns who had arrived in the same batch as Li Fan stared with shining eyes. It was no longer just admiration. It was idol worship.
Too incredible.
They were all interns. He was already catching A-Level Wanted Criminals, while they were still following their mentors to handle neighborhood disputes.
How could the gap between people be this wide?
In the chaos, Shan Xingteng finally squeezed through the crowd. He looked at Li Fan chatting with Gu Yongjun, then at Wang Boda being taken away in handcuffs. It all felt like a dream.
He walked up to Li Fan, shock still lingering on his face, and stammered, “Xiao… Xiao Li, you… you… this is just… too…”
He said “this” for a long time but couldn’t come up with a suitable adjective.
Li Fan grinned, showing a row of white teeth. He patted Shan Xingteng on the shoulder and winked.
“Brother Teng, see? This A-Level Wanted Criminal doesn’t seem as hard to catch as you said.”
Shan Xingteng’s expression instantly froze.
He remembered his earnest advice to Li Fan on the motorcycle. Don’t get carried away. Make sure you stay safe. You won’t even have a chance to regret it.
Thinking about it now, every word felt like an invisible slap hitting his own face.
His face flushed red. He opened his mouth to argue, but not a single word came out.
Li Fan hadn’t lost his head. He had caught the man. He had beaten an A-Level Wanted Criminal into complete helplessness.
What could he possibly say?
In the end, Shan Xingteng could only squeeze out through clenched teeth, “Damn it. Fine, you win. You’re incredible.”
