“We can confirm that these are the two guys wanted by the National Bureau.”
A mont later, she gently exhaled, a mix of exhilaration spreading across her stunning visage.
These two A-grade fugitives had recently been on a cri spree across Huaxia, committing murder and robbery, amassing a string of offenses that left the public in a state of constant fear.
If they were caught in Zhongzhou City, not only would the Zhongzhou City Police Station gain nationwide fa, but she, the rookie chief of the major case squad, would also earn significant recognition for her achievent.
After making a call to her colleague at the station with her cellphone, Tang Wenrou casually removed the baseball caps from the heads of the two wanted criminals and tore off their fake hair and beards, smirking to herself, “No matter how cunning you are, you can’t escape the palm of my hand!”
“Officer, I caught these two guys.
When can I get the hundred thousand reward?”
The voice of Fang Bai ca through somberly.
Wen Rou was taken aback, frowning as she said, “Wait a mont.
We need to go through all the proper procedures first.”
Five minutes later, the sound of sirens approached from afar, followed by a flurry of chaotic footsteps, as more than a dozen ard police officers stord into the alley like a gust of wind.
Upon seeing the scene in the alley, the officers were all taken aback.
“Section Chief Tang, are you injured?”
An officer spotted the remnants of blood on Wen Rou’s mouth and asked with concern.
“I’m fine,” Wen Rou responded, pointing to Fang Bai, “with the help of this citizen, the ‘Northwestern Twin Wolves’ have finally been apprehended!
Now, so of you take these two to the hospital to have their injuries treated.”
Wen Rou faced her subordinates with a stern, icy deanor, embodying the persona of a strong woman leader.
“Fang Bai, you co with back to the station to make a statent.”
Having thrown that line at Fang Bai, Wen Rou turned and walked out of the alley, getting into one of the police cars.
Fang Bai hesitated for a mont, then followed Wen Rou into the police car.
His sister was surrounded by five classmates; nothing would happen to her, he thought.
He would call her in a while, to tell her to go back to school after they finished eating.
At ho, the fact that he hadn’t returned yet would probably concern his parents.
Therefore, Fang Bai took out his newly bought latest model of the fruit brand phone and dialed his mother.
Over the phone, Fang Bai told his mother, Yang i, that he had run into so classmates and was eating with them, that he might return ho late, and then he hung up.
“Why not tell your parents the truth?
You helped our police force catch two fugitives, and that’s an accomplishnt worthy of a substantial reward!”
Wen Rou, upon hearing Fang Bai lie to his parents, was puzzled and couldn’t help but ask.
Fang Bai sighed, “The love of parents all over the world…
What parents don’t wish for their child’s safety?
If my mom and dad knew I caught two ard fugitives, they would not be pleased.
Instead, they would scold by saying, ‘Are you out of your mind, ddling in such affairs?’ and then give a thrashing…”
Wen Rou found his words amusing and couldn’t help but let out a soft snort of laughter.
Her face, usually so cold, thawed with her laughter like an iceberg lting, bright as spring flowers, leaving Fang Bai montarily stunned.
However, after her laughter, Wen Rou promptly resud her customary frosty expression, turning her gaze out the window, her eyes flickering with thoughts unknown.
The two sat side by side, their arms occasionally brushing against each other, their body heat perceptible through the thin layers of clothing.
“Officer, if there are more big rewards for wanted criminals in the future, please contact ; I can help you catch them.”
“Are you in need of money?”
“Yes, my family is very poor.”
“But isn’t it dangerous?
Aren’t you afraid?”
“Of course I’m afraid, but when I think of the substantial amount of money, the fear goes away.”
“Where did you learn your martial arts?”
“If I said a wandering Daoist taught , would you believe ?”
“I believe you.”
“I’ve told this to many people, but there are few who believe it.”
“That’s because they don’t know that in this world, there actually are many extraordinary and eccentric individuals.”
“By extraordinary and eccentric individuals, you an…”
“The martial arts experts in the eyes of ordinary people.”
“Officer Tang’s kung fu isn’t bad either, when she fought against two deflation criminals, she was very imposing,”
“I’m not as good as you.”
“Not much worse, though.”
After arriving at the Zhongzhou City Police Station and giving his statent, Fang Bai once again inquired about when he could receive the hundred thousand yuan in reward money.
The fifty thousand yuan he had was almost spent, and he’d need quite a sum for his daily dicinal baths.
If he could get his hands on that hundred thousand yuan reward, he wouldn’t have to worry about money for a while.
Tang Wenrou stared at Fang Bai’s sowhat youthful and handso face, and as she watched him smile with a sunny disposition, the image of another man suddenly flashed in her mind.
Her heart felt a soft twinge, and a rare hint of warmth appeared on her usually cold face.
“Officer Tang, when can I get the hundred thousand yuan reward?”
Seeing that Tang Wenrou was sowhat absentminded, Fang Bai couldn’t help but ask again.
“If it’s fast, probably by tomorrow.
Leave your contact information, and I’ll notify you to co and collect it once the money is through.”
Tang Wenrou ca back to her senses, her expression returning to its usual coldness.
Fang Bai nodded, turned, and walked towards the exit.
When he reached the door, he looked back at Tang Wenrou.
“Is there sothing else?”
Tang Wenrou frowned.
“Officer Tang, actually, you look a lot prettier when you smile than when you’re stern.
Smile more when there’s nothing wrong, it’s healthy and beautifying!”
“…”
Tang Wenrou’s face turned icy, and she suddenly looked up, ready to lash out, but found that Fang Bai had already walked off briskly.
Staring blankly at Fang Bai’s retreating figure, Tang Wenrou couldn’t help but touch her snow-white and smooth cheek.
After a while, she took out a small round mirror from her desk drawer and brought her face close to it.
Reflected in the mirror was an icy beautiful face that scarcely seed to bear the marks of worldly life.
As she gazed at herself in the mirror, the corners of Tang Wenrou’s mouth suddenly twitched slightly.
A fleeting smile, there and then gone.
……..
By the ti Fang Bai stepped out of the main entrance of the Zhongzhou City Police Station, it was around eight o’clock in the evening.
The streets were bustling with traffic, and the entire city was adorned with colorful lights, beautiful and splendid.
Fang Bai first called his sister to make sure she and her roommate had returned to campus, then he called his mother to let her know he’d be ho soon.
When he passed by a large pharmacy, Fang Bai bought a big bag of dicinal herbs to take ho.
Of course, he bought the dicinal herbs for his dicinal baths.
This ti, the dicinal herbs Fang Bai bought were not only of various types but also of greater age, which would make the bath more effective than last ti.
Even though these herbs cost almost all of the few thousand yuan Fang Bai had left, he didn’t mind at all.
Fang Bai knew that the older the herbs, the better the effect of the dicinal bath, the faster his physique would improve, and the more it would boost his future strength.
And the stronger he beca, the more money he would naturally earn.
This was a virtuous cycle.
Hence, Fang Bai never skimped on his cultivation, always using the best herbs possible whenever he had the ans.
