"Could it be that my eyes are deceiving me?"
An Qi wondered, Lin Yifan was unscathed, so she couldn't help but doubt herself.
Even the man in black who shot at Lin Yifan felt the same; he too was questioning whether what he had just seen was real.
"It's not that your eyes are deceiving you, but they are overly dazzled," Lin Yifan responded.
An Qi was right to doubt herself, as long as she didn't suspect him.
"So you're the amazing one, huh? Enough already!"
Seeing Lin Yifan's smug expression, An Qi felt a bit angry because that was mockery, mocking her for hallucinating in her panic.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa..."
Soon after, the police arrived.
As the female officer stepped out of the car and saw Lin Yifan leaning against a concrete pillar, she burst out furiously, "Pervert! I'm going to arrest you!"
The sudden shout startled Lin Yifan.
He quickly turned his head to look to the right and spotted a familiar figure: "Eh? Isn't that the police officer? Why is she charging at me with such ferocity?"
He knew this police officer; it all began with a misunderstanding at a "Love Around the Corner."
At the time, he was coming out of a small alley in an urban village, rushing to work; he accidentally collided with her as she was chasing a robber around the corner.
The police officer had wanted to hold him accountable, but, due to the urgency of continuing the chase, she reluctantly let him go.
Since she didn't make a big deal out of it, he didn't either and went about his normal work routine. Little did he know that at their next encounter, she would make a big issue out of it.
The next moment, he raised his hand and caught Lin Shanshan's small fist coming at him, asking coldly, "Officer, what are you doing?"
"Didn't you hear clearly? I'm going to slaughter this pervert!" she retorted.
Lin Shanshan kicked towards Lin Yifan's groin without any preamble.
This scared Lin Yifan enough to quickly reach out his other hand to catch Lin Shanshan's thin leg that was in mid-kick.
Both her fist and foot being restrained, Lin Shanshan was very surprised; she was trained, and ordinary people shouldn't be able to catch her quickly thrown punches or raised kicks unless Lin Yifan was also trained.
"You think you can slaughter me with these fancy moves? Go back and train for a few more years!"
Lin Yifan said disdainfully, then pushed Lin Shanshan away.
"Underestimate me, and I'll show you how formidable I am!"
Saying this, Lin Shanshan clenched her fists and attacked again.
This time, she changed her tactics, leading with a kick, then a punch, and adapting her strikes according to her opponent's state and position.
It was a fierce combination of blows too much for ordinary people to withstand, but unfortunately, she was facing Lin Yifan, a "fellow traveller" several levels above her, so she was destined to fail.
Lin Shanshan threw everything she had, with more force than before, clearly serious this time.
However, Lin Yifan remained unafraid; no matter how fierce the force or how fast the speed, he handled it with ease.
In the end, Lin Shanshan was just an amateur compared to him, a battle-hardened special forces soldier.
After letting her attack furiously for a while, Lin Yifan subdued Lin Shanshan again; this time, he criticized without reservation, "You should go back and train for a few more years; you're no match for me now!"
Lin Shanshan, released by her opponent, was incredibly frustrated. The enemy was too strong, and she was no match; moreover, he was very familiar with her moves, making her wonder whether he had also been in the police force or perhaps the military.
Lin Yifan's identity was a mystery, but now the most important thing was to catch Lin Yifan and teach him a lesson, so she pulled out a handgun, cocked it, and pointed it at Lin Yifan, commanding, "Pervert, put your hands up!"
Seeing the round gun barrel aimed at his head, Lin Yifan was shocked and demanded, "What are you doing? I warn you, a police officer deliberately shooting an innocent civilian to death is punishable by death."
"Are you an innocent civilian? You're nothing but a big pervert, a major lecher! I'm going to bring you to justice!" Lin Shanshan shouted with all her might, extremely mortified and angry.
"Can't you think before you speak? Was it necessary to make such a fuss about accidentally bumping into you at the corner, enough to take it to the police station and let everyone know?"
"I..."
"What 'I'? Am I wrong?" Lin Yifan countered.
"I'm going to kill you!!"
Unable to bear the humiliation any longer, Lin Shanshan immediately shut her eyes and prepared to pull the trigger.
