18: The Beautiful Police Officer

"Assistant Lin, are you okay?" Shen Yifei asked with a smile.

Lin Cai'er couldn't believe that Shen Yifei could still smile. She said with a worried expression, "Mr. Shen, that man is not a simple person. You're going to be in trouble."

A hint of mockery appeared on Shen Yifei's lips. Ordinary people might fear He Tao's status, but he had no such concerns.

"Don't worry. I'll take care of this for you," Shen Yifei said, patting Lin Cai'er's shoulder.

Looking at Shen Yifei's star-like eyes, Lin Cai'er suddenly felt an indescribable sense of security, and the words she was about to say were caught in her throat.

"What... what about that guy?" Lin Cai'er pointed to the crew-cut bodyguard who was passed out on the ground.

It seemed he had gone a little too hard. Shen Yifei scratched his head and said, "I'll handle it. You should go home first, Assistant Lin."

"I'm sorry, I got you into trouble," Lin Cai'er said, biting her lip and lowering her head.

The girl's vulnerable demeanor was truly heartbreaking. Shen Yifei waved his hand and said, "I did this on my own accord. Don't worry about it."

"But..."

"No buts. Go home quickly. Call me if you need anything."

After a bit of persuading, Lin Cai'er finally left at Shen Yifei's urging. Her mother was hospitalized nearby, so Lin Cai'er, worried about her, went to the hospital to visit her first.

Shen Yifei glanced at the unconscious bodyguard. He couldn't care less whether the guy lived or died; his words were just to reassure Lin Cai'er.

Just as Shen Yifei was about to walk away, a gust of wind suddenly came from behind him. He turned his head and saw a tall woman under the moonlight launching a kick directly at his forehead.

Her fair legs almost seemed to gleam in the moonlight.

Shen Yifei was taken aback. What was this all about?

The stranger had good moves. Her kick was incredibly fast, and the air trembled with its force. An ordinary person would not be able to dodge this surprise attack.

But Shen Yifei was far from ordinary. In a flash, he extended his right hand and grabbed the woman's ankle, easily pulling her to the ground.

"Let me go!" a soft yelp came from below. The woman was completely unprepared for how fast Shen Yifei had reacted, and her pretty face changed color.

Shen Yifei's gaze fell on the woman he had pinned to the ground. She was a beauty, about twenty years old, with delicate features and a cold, alluring demeanor. She wore a long-sleeved T-shirt, short shorts, and a white belt, and her two long, fair legs were straight and elegant. It was also notable that she was wearing a baseball cap, as if she didn't want to be recognized.

Her name was Bai Qingyu, the captain of the Huahai City Criminal Investigation Team, who had recently been transferred from a special forces unit. Recently, there had been several cases of young women being assaulted in Xiangshan Park (a fictional location name), and with the culprit still at large, Bai Qingyu had been lurking in the park at night, hoping to catch the suspect.

As soon as she arrived at the park that night, she saw Shen Yifei and the unconscious bodyguard under the tree. Bai Qingyu instinctively assumed Shen Yifei was the culprit and, without hesitation, rushed forward, kicking at his head. She had not expected this "criminal" to have such impressive fighting skills.

"Hey, beautiful, why did you kick me for no reason?" Shen Yifei asked in confusion.

Bai Qingyu's face was flushed red. She found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull her leg out of Shen Yifei's grasp. She felt a surge of indignation. After all, she had trained for several years in a top-tier special forces unit in China, and her skills were outstanding. She could easily take down an ordinary street thug with a single move. Realizing she had encountered a master, Bai Qingyu was not afraid; instead, she became even more furious. She hated bullies who preyed on the weak.

Bai Qingyu refused to give in and struggled fiercely, her body moving restlessly. Shen Yifei couldn't help but have some inappropriate thoughts. Since this woman had tried to attack him, it was only fair that he took some liberties.

"Bastard, let me go if you have the guts!" Bai Qingyu's exquisite face was filled with rage.

Shen Yifei didn't want to go too far and laughed, "Fine. But beautiful, I don't think I've offended you in any way. You need to tell me why you attacked me." With that, Shen Yifei released Bai Qingyu.

Bai Qingyu instantly broke free and, without a word, threw a punch directly at Shen Yifei's head.

"What the heck? Do I have a feud with you?" Shen Yifei was a little annoyed. He dodged the punch, and the whooshing sound confirmed the power behind it. Damn it, if that had hit his head, he would have been knocked unconscious!

Bai Qingyu's powerful punch missed, causing her to lose her balance and stumble forward. "Ah!" she yelped, her face changing color as she lurched forward and fell into Shen Yifei's arms.

A fragrant breeze hit him, and Shen Yifei was stunned. He subconsciously wrapped his arms around Bai Qingyu's slender waist.

"Be careful, beautiful," Shen Yifei said, his hands discreetly holding her small waist to steady her.

"You hooligan!"

Bai Qingyu's face was beet red. She quickly pulled out a hard, black object from her waist and pressed it against Shen Yifei's forehead. It was a Type 92 pistol, which Shen Yifei recognized as a police-issued firearm.

"Don't move, or I'll shoot!" Bai Qingyu snapped coldly.

"Officer, have you misunderstood something?" Shen Yifei asked in confusion.

Bai Qingyu was even more wary when Shen Yifei recognized her as a police officer. Thinking about how Shen Yifei had just taken advantage of her, she couldn't swallow her anger and kicked him in the waist.

"You hooligan, you're a good fighter, aren't you? Go on, fight back... Keep fighting back... Why aren't you fighting back?"

With every word, Bai Qingyu landed another kick, using all her strength in each one.

Shen Yifei had tough skin, so he didn't feel much, but he was starting to get angry. "Woman, do you really think I'm afraid of you just because you have a gun? Even if you had a rocket launcher, I wouldn't be scared! I'm only giving you some respect because you're a cop," Shen Yifei said with a blank expression, his anger rising.

Bai Qingyu had never met such a bold "criminal." She gritted her teeth and said, "You've got a lot of nerve. We'll see if you're still so brave when we get to the police station." "Don't move!" Bai Qingyu pressed the gun firmly against Shen Yifei's forehead.

"I swear, are you insane? Not only do you attack me, but you want to arrest me too? Fine, you'd better give me a reason," Shen Yifei said, a wave of irritation washing over him. He truly wanted to pin this woman down again and "misbehave" a little.

"Don't play dumb with me. I'm Bai Qingyu, captain of the Huahai City Criminal Investigation Team. I suspect you are connected to multiple robberies and rapes. Now, put your hands on your head and get down on your knees!"

Bai Qingyu grabbed Shen Yifei's arms, twisted them behind his back, and slapped a pair of handcuffs on him. "What the hell? Who's a rapist? You're crazy!" Shen Yifei rolled his eyes.
