The old man’s hand weighed the magazine of the submachine gun, and he smiled as he said:
"Before retiring, I used to do miscellaneous work at the police station..."
Miscellaneous work?
This sounds familiar. The last person who said they did odd jobs was my ntor.
Is this the usual expression for you big shots on Yingchun Street?
Lin Xu asked:
"Can soone who does odd jobs be this skilled with firearms? Are you a detective, Grandpa Sun?"
The old man waved his hand humbly and said:
"I was a detective and a special forces officer. During my final years before retirent, I was even an instructor for the Special Police Team... This rascal had to co here and disturb our peaceful fishing ti."
Tsk, tsk, impressive indeed.
Yingchun Street is truly a gathering place for big shots.
On the riverbank, Ren Jie opened his car door and got out, seeing the X5 parked in the middle of the road, then looking at the Hyundai flipped over in the riverbed. Just as he was about to go down, he saw Chen Yan standing by the car.
"Xiao Yan? How did you..."
Seeing Ren Jie, Chen Yan imdiately ran over and burst into tears:
"I think I hit soone, and they ended up in the riverbed. I don’t even know if they’re dead or alive. Will you arrest ? If I go to a won’s prison, will you bring food..."
Ren Jie saw a few colleagues had already rushed into the river and patted Chen Yan’s back, saying:
"The person you hit is an ard robber, carrying at least three murders on his hands. Last night, we were after this gang, but this cunning guy got away. We only found his trail on the Fifth Ring Road and chased him here..."
Chen Yan: "!!!!!!!!!!!"
What an ingenious collision!
She felt a wave of relief in her heart:
"So, I don’t have to go to jail?"
"Why jail? You did a ritorious deed, sweetheart. Stop crying now; a woman over twenty shouldn’t be a foolish crybaby."
"Who said I’m twenty? I’m only eighteen!"
"Alright, alright, eighteen... Why is Dundun still in the car? Let get it out."
"Don’t bother, it’s the one that nearly scared to death... You still haven’t said if you’ll bring food in jail."
Ren Jie gave a straightforward reply:
"Prisons don’t allow food deliveries now... Ow, stop stepping on my foot!"
Before long, two police officers brought the cuffed criminal up, along with Lin Xu, the old man, and a few other fishing buddies who had helped with the arrest.
"Ren Jie, this is Senior Sun. He was once an instructor for the Special Police Team. He skillfully helped us catch the guy just now. Lin Xu picked up the gun, and Senior Sun helped unload the bullets."
Ren Jie imdiately stood up straight and saluted the old man:
"I salute you, senior!"
The old man returned the salute and said:
"Take him away. Say hello to your team leader for . Back in the day, I kicked his butt during training, tell him not to hold a grudge."
"Ha, so the team leader’s habit of kicking butts was learned from you. I’ll make sure to pass the ssage!"
Fishing wasn’t going to happen anymore, and everyone chatted animatedly about the car crash and capture process.
According to Ren Jie’s speculation, there would surely have been a gunfight before catching this guy. They had just searched the car and found a handgun and several magazines. It might have been a fierce battle.
But unexpectedly, a group of fishing buddies managed to get it done.
Lin Xu never imagined that so people who seed like old n unable to catch fish were actually instructors for Yanjing City’s Special Police Team.
After the initial excitent, Chen Yan finally noticed Ren Jie’s bandaged left arm:
"What happened?"
"A scratch. My gun went off accidentally, my arm moved, and the opponent also fired, with the bullet grazing my arm. If it hadn’t gone off, it would’ve hit my left arm directly... An extra through-and-through, this arm would probably be useless."
Chen Yan gently caressed it with concern:
"Be more careful next ti..."
"Yes, ma’am! By the way, how’s the fishing going?"
Chen Yan: "..."
Who taught you to chat like this?
Ren Jie got a couple pinches on his waist from Chen Yan and quickly went about his business.
He took out a fingerprint scanner and approached Lin Xu, saying:
"Brother-in-law, let’s get your fingerprints. You touched the gun just now. We’ll capture all ten of your fingerprints to filter out any unfamiliar prints on the gun. Maybe we can trace the source."
After collecting Lin Xu’s fingerprints, he went to the riverbank to collect fingerprints from the old man who was still fishing.
Soon, both the Special Police Team and the local police station personnel arrived.
The car in the riverbed was pulled out, and a statent was recorded. The insurance company ca to assess the damage and arranged for Lin Xu’s car claims.
After finishing the tasks, nobody felt like fishing anymore. They packed up their catch and drove back.
Given the emotional rollercoaster Chen Yan just went through, her Panara was driven by Shen Baobao, with Zeng Xiaoqi holding Dundun in the front seat, allowing Chen Yan to calm down in the back.
As for Lin Xu, he drove the slightly damaged X5, taking Qiang Ge, Yue Liyue, and the old man back to Yingchun Street.
Originally, they wanted to fish until dark, wondering what rewards Dundun might bring.
But after what happened, it’s better to take Dundun out to play when there’s nothing to do. Enjoying a good portion of the day fishing wasn’t bad.
As the car entered the Fifth Ring, a system notification rang in Lin Xu’s mind:
"The host has played outdoors with a pet for over nine hours. You can redeem nine rewards now, or accumulate them for later. Please choose a redemption thod."
