As Ye Chen got closer and closer to the wall opposite, the panic in the eyes of the man with the stubbly beard grew more intense.
Zhou Susu and the other officers also noticed the change in the manРІР‚в„ўs expression, and the gloom in their hearts disappeared.
Ye Chen arrived at the wall and knocked on it with his fist.
The man with the stubbly beard turned from arrogant to terrified upon seeing Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs actions.
Seeing Ye Chen forcefully striking the wall with the sharp end of his dagger, the man immediately hung his head low.
Ye Chen used the dagger to dig out a small hole in the wall and then took out a black USB drive from it.
Zhou SusuРІР‚в„ўs face lit up with excitement upon seeing the USB in Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs hand.
She said to the officer beside her, "Little Li, quickly go to the car and bring over the laptop."
The young officer named Li received the order and hurried out of the room towards the police car.
In less than five minutes, Officer Li returned, sweating profusely, carrying the laptop.
He turned on the laptop, inserted the USB drive, and opened the files to reveal an extremely gruesome scene.
Even a seasoned officer like Zhou Susu found it hard to stomach, and several junior officers felt their stomachs turning.
Some even ran out the door, retching uncontrollably outside.
The methods used by the stubbly-beard man to kill were extremely brutal; Ye Chen even felt that this man harbored a twisted mind.
Faced with the evidence, the man with the stubbly beard could only bow his head.
Several junior officers took him to the police car, and the man did not struggle.
He knew it was useless to resist; if it were just Zhou Susu and the junior officers, he might still have a chance to escape, but he was up against Ye Chen.
The pressure exuded by Ye Chen gave him a suffocating feeling.
Zhou Susu and Ye Chen also walked out of the house; this time, without losing a single soldier, they captured the criminal responsible for multiple deaths, a testament to how skillful this operation was.
"Ye Chen, thank you. Without you, it would have been difficult to find the evidence," Zhou Susu said gratefully, as more than half of the cases she cracked were with Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs help.
Originally, capturing this fugitive put her under immense pressure; she didnРІР‚в„ўt expect the operation to go so smoothly.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Is there a need to be so formal between us?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou SusuРІР‚в„ўs face turned red, and she hurriedly changed the subject, "Ye Chen, how did you know the evidence was hidden in that wall?"
"For someone whoРІР‚в„ўs been a cop for so many years, itРІР‚в„ўs surprising that you couldnРІР‚в„ўt figure out a criminalРІР‚в„ўs mindset." Ye Chen jokingly replied.
These words made Zhou SusuРІР‚в„ўs face turn even redder; indeed, she, the professional, couldnРІР‚в„ўt rival Ye Chen, the outsider.
Seeing the girlРІР‚в„ўs expression, Ye Chen laughed and said, "Alright, IРІР‚в„ўm just teasing. ItРІР‚в„ўs because when you guys were searching the house, the manРІР‚в„ўs eyes kept lingering on that wall. I just got lucky."
Hearing Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs words, Zhou Susu nodded her head.
Watching Zhou Susu and the other officers lead the criminal away, Ye Chen resumed his delivery job.
"Ring ring ring..." The phone suddenly rang, and Ye Chen pulled his phone out of his pocket to see it was Su Wanyi calling.
"Honey, youРІР‚в„ўre back?" Ye Chen asked.
Hearing Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs endearment, Su WanyiРІР‚в„ўs face turned as red as a ripe apple, and she shyly replied, "You rascal, whoРІР‚в„ўs your honey?"
"Of course, itРІР‚в„ўs you," Ye Chen said without hesitation.
Upon hearing Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs reply, Su Wanyi felt a warmth in her heart.
"I contacted you as soon as I returned, and youРІР‚в„ўre bullying me," Su Wanyi said, pouting playfully.
"Alright, I wonРІР‚в„ўt tease you anymore. Wanyi, whatРІР‚в„ўs up?" Ye Chen asked.
Su Wanyi had been on a business trip, and just as she returned, she called Ye Chen, so there must be something.
"I want you to accompany me to a banquet."
"A banquet?" Ye Chen asked.
"Yes, itРІР‚в„ўs a banquet hosted by my best friend, but thereРІР‚в„ўs an annoying guy attending too," Su Wanyi said.
Hearing Su WanyiРІР‚в„ўs words, Ye Chen realized that she wanted him to fend off a pest.
Having not seen her for a while, Ye Chen was indeed missing her, so he readily agreed.
"Alright, no problem."
Hearing silence for a moment on the line, Su Wanyi thought Ye Chen was going to refuse.
But upon hearing Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs cheerful response, a sense of joy welled up in her heart.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Wanyi, IРІР‚в„ўll pick you up, and weРІР‚в„ўll go together."
"Okay." Su Wanyi said, then hung up the phone.
Ye Chen thought to himself that this girl comes and goes quickly; knowing Su WanyiРІР‚в„ўs a career woman, she must have a lot on her plate.
Since he had to fend off a pest, Ye Chen figured his current attire wouldnРІР‚в„ўt do.
He decided to head to the mall for a wardrobe change.
Ye Chen drove to Wanxiang City, a mall known for housing top international brands.
For ordinary people, these prices were out of reach; Ye Chen entered a store where two saleswomen were, and the older one completely ignored him as he wore a delivery uniform.
Ye Chen browsed the outfits alone. Needing to try on the size, he took a suit and approached the older saleswoman, "Excuse me, could you bring me a suit in my size? IРІР‚в„ўd like to try it on."
The older saleswoman reluctantly approached, her face displeased, "Sir, this suit is very expensive. You canРІР‚в„ўt afford it, and please refrain from touching it lest it gets dirty, something you likely canРІР‚в„ўt afford to compensate for."
Hearing the saleswomanРІР‚в„ўs words, Ye Chen chuckled, "No matter how expensive, thereРІР‚в„ўs still a price, right?"
"Sir, IРІР‚в„ўm advising you out of good intentions, purely for your consideration," the older saleswoman hastily said.
After all, the mallРІР‚в„ўs principle is that the customer is always right, whether rich or poor; if there was a complaint, sheРІР‚в„ўd definitely have her wages docked.
"No need, just quickly bring it for me to try; my time is very valuable," Ye Chen said coldly.
Hearing the young man in front of her, the older saleswoman reluctantly searched for Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs size and handed the suit over, "The fitting room is on your left."
With that, she turned and left to continue chatting with others.
After trying on the blue suit, Ye Chen tried on two more suits in different colors.
Seeing Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs endless trying endless, the older saleswomanРІР‚в„ўs last bit of patience was waning.
She thought to herself that this young man was here to act like a rich person, having encountered many like him who tried on seven or eight suits but bought none.
"Sir, have you made your choice?" the older saleswoman asked impatiently.
"IРІР‚в„ўd like to try a few more," Ye Chen replied calmly.
Hearing Ye Chen’s response, the older saleswoman grumbled, "I’ve seen many like you — no money, just here for the experience."
