"There was a gun-related kidnapping incident in the underground parking of Huangchi Number One. I received the report and went there right away," Lin Shanshan replied.
"Did you catch the kidnapper?"
Zhao Dabing asked earnestly while reviewing the documents.
"We did. But... I was harassed by a pervert. Chief Zhao, you must avenge me!" Lin Shanshan pouted coquettishly.
Chief Zhao was her most admired person, and he was highly skilled, no less capable than any pervert. Hence, she believed that Chief Zhao would surely avenge her.
"Oh? Who dares to harass you, Officer Lin? Couldn't you have just kicked him in the groin?" Zhao Dabing asked with a laugh.
Lin Shanshan was famously violent among the police, and no male officer dared to provoke her, not even him.
"Oh, Chief Zhao, stop teasing me. This pervert was extraordinary, not like ordinary people; he was skilled, as if he has trained, and he knew our moves," Lin Shanshan explained seriously.
Lin Yifan gave her an inexplicable feeling of mystery.
"Oh? That sounds like it's going to be quite the meeting," he mused.
Zhao Dabing became more interested as he listened and decided to help Lin Shanshan get her revenge, provided everything she said was true.
Lin Shanshan was delighted that she had finally swayed her idol to her cause.
In the precinct, if Chief Zhao took action, there was nothing he couldn't solve.
The two hurried to the interrogation room to interrogate Lin Yifan.
Meanwhile, Lin Yifan inside the interrogation room was speechless. He was doing good deeds, and here he was, inexplicably arrested and brought to the police station, which he found both absurd and amusing.
The interrogation room had a window with the blinds open, allowing those in the corridor to see inside.
Just as Zhao Dabing reached the door of the interrogation room, he glanced through the window and realized that the criminal he was about to interrogate seemed familiar, as if seen somewhere before.
With confusion, he opened the door of the interrogation room and stepped in for a closer look.
Unbeknownst to him, he was in for a shock.
"Leopard, is that you?"
He exclaimed, completely stunned.
Lin Yifan looked at Zhao Dabing's face, puzzled, and asked, "Are you... Brother Zhao?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Are you Leopard?"
"Brother Zhao, I am, I am!"
"That's great! Leopard, I never thought we'd reunite here!"
Zhao Dabing, excited, walked over and lifted Lin Yifan, who was sitting on a stool, and cheered joyfully.
Behind him, Lin Shanshan was utterly bewildered. She never expected that her idol was acquainted with the pervert who bumped into her chest. How embarrassing.
If she were to marry Zhao Dabing, how would she face this pervert then?
No matter what the relationship was between Chief Zhao and this pervert, wearing the police uniform meant enforcing the law impartially.
So, she called out, "Chief Zhao! It's this pervert who harassed me, teach him a lesson quickly!"
Reminded thus, Zhao Dabing suddenly remembered that his brother had been detained without clarification; he then let go and asked, "Leopard, tell me the truth, did you use your Martial Arts skills to harass my junior sister here?"
"No! It's all a misunderstanding!"
Lin Yifan explained the entire incident in detail, hoping Zhao Dabing would stand up for him.
After hearing the explanation, Zhao Dabing realized it was all a misunderstanding and criticized Lin Shanshan, "He didn't mean to bump into you, why make such a fuss about it?"
"But, Chief Zhao, do you know where he bumped into my body?"
"Where?" Zhao Dabing asked curiously.
Lin Yifan hadn't told him this part; he only mentioned that he accidentally bumped into Lin Shanshan while chasing a robber at a corner.
"It was... it was..."
Ultimately, Lin Shanshan didn't have the courage to say it out loud, fearing it might leave a bad impression on Zhao Dabing and hinder her chances of marrying him in the future.
"It was what? Just say it; how am I supposed to seek justice for you if you don't tell me?"
Zhao Dabing grew anxious.
One side was his brother, the other his junior sister; he couldn't be biased, so he needed to know the whole truth.
"Oh, never mind!" Lin Shanshan pouted and turned away, displaying a sullen face.
"Don't want to say, or is there simply no crime? Officer Lin, you're a police officer, remember always to enforce the law impartially and not to accuse innocents arbitrarily, okay?" Zhao Dabing patiently admonished.
But this only elicited a temper from Lin Shanshan, "Chief Zhao! You've really disappointed me, hmph!"
With a cold snort, Lin Shanshan turned and left the interrogation room, heading who knows where.
Watching this unfold, a puzzled Zhao Dabing stuttered, "What... What on earth just happened? What did I do wrong?"
Lin Yifan shook his head, indicating he was also at a loss.
Since it was all a misunderstanding, there was no need to keep Lin Yifan in handcuffs.
So, Zhao Dabing took out the keys and unlocked Lin Yifan's handcuffs.
It had been a while since the brothers had seen each other; it was time to catch up.
Zhao Dabing began to inquire about Lin Yifan's recent circumstances and why he was in Guiyuan City.
Lin Yifan told Zhao Dabing everything he had been through, letting his brother know about his bleak past.
Upon learning that Lin Yifan had been discharged from the military, Zhao Dabing was shocked, as his situation was even worse than his.
Despite being transferred out of the special forces, at least he was still part of the organization; Lin Yifan had nothing, going from a near-legendary figure to an unknown civilian, now struggling even to find a job.
Zhao Dabing sighed continuously, deciding to do something for Lin Yifan.
However, he had no significant connections in Guiyuan City; therefore, his desire to help was there, but his hands were tied.
