Before Ye Chen could even respond...

WEEEOOOO WEEEOOOO...

Police sirens suddenly echoed through the streets in the distance.

At the same time, bystanders nearby had already begun recording everything on their phones.

Of course, nobody dared get close.

Even the cars on the street had backed up to create distance from the fight.

Ye Chen’s expression immediately changed.

"Shit..."

He instinctively tried to run.

Getting arrested right now would completely ruin him.

But before he could even take a single step.

BAM!

Shen Tian tackled him from behind and slammed him violently onto the pavement.

"This is a citizen’s arrest!"

CRACK!

Shen Tian smashed Ye Chen’s face directly against the stone road.

Several teeth instantly shattered on impact.

"AGHH!"

Ye Chen let out a muffled scream while blood poured from his mouth.

Shen Tian treated him exactly like some violent drunk causing problems in public.

The passenger side door opened.

Bai Xue stepped out of the car and calmly walked over.

The moment Ye Chen saw her, his bloody face lit up with hope.

"You’re here to save m—"

BAM!

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Xue kicked him directly in the ribs.

Then again.

And again.

And again.

"This is for Mr. Nibbles!"

BAM!

"Princess Bitey!"

THUD!

"Bubbles!"

CRACK!

"Count Chompers!"

BAM!

"Sir Boopington!"

Each time she shouted a name, her kicks became harder.

By now, Ye Chen’s face was covered in blood and his body was covered in bruises.

He genuinely couldn’t understand what he had done wrong.

He came here to save her.

To eliminate the villain.

Why was she treating him like this?

Something clicked inside his head.

His bloodshot eyes widened.

[I get it...]

[You’re pretending to hate me to protect me!]

The moment Bai Xue heard that inner thought, her face twisted in disgust.

"You’re disgusting!"

She immediately began stomping him even harder.

Seeing the police finally arrive, Shen Tian gently stopped Bai Xue before she could continue stomping Ye Chen.

Soon enough, multiple police cruisers surrounded the area.

Doors opened one after another as armed officers quickly stepped out.

Every single officer wore a medical mask.

Nobody wanted to accidentally inhale whatever strange technique Ye Chen had been using.

Then Ruan Yizhen stepped out from one of the vehicles.

The moment her eyes landed on Shen Tian, she froze slightly.

Under the flashing police lights, with Ye Chen pinned beneath him after personally subduing a dangerous criminal, Shen Tian genuinely looked like some hero.

In her mind, she could already imagine him wearing a police uniform.

And somehow...

He looked absurdly handsome.

’He’s delivering justice so swiftly...’

Ruan Yizhen unknowingly stared at him with tiny hearts practically floating in her eyes.

Shen Tian calmly waved toward her.

"Officer Ruan. Good thing you’re here."

He casually pointed toward Ye Chen.

"I apprehended the criminal. Can you guys take it from here?"

Then Shen Tian blinked.

"...Officer Ruan?"

He noticed she was still staring directly at him, completely love-struck.

Before things became more awkward, an officer friend quickly pinched Ruan Yizhen’s side.

"Hey!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Ouch!"

Ruan Yizhen instantly snapped back to reality.

Her face immediately turned bright red.

"S-Sorry... Are you okay? Can I check for any injuries..."

Now that she was fully aware of her feelings, she had absolutely no idea how to act around Shen Tian anymore.

Shen Tian simply smiled slightly.

"It’s alright"

Then he slowly stood up from Ye Chen.

As he did, he casually lifted his shirt slightly.

"See? I’m perfectly fine."

The moment Ruan Yizhen saw his toned body, she immediately backed away while frantically waving her hands.

"Enough, enough! I can’t handle this!"

A small nosebleed slowly began trickling down from her nose.

Then she immediately panicked, turned around, and ran straight back into her police car.

VRROOOOM!

A second later, she drove off in complete embarrassment.

Her female officer friend stared in disbelief.

"...What the hell!? We rode here together!"

The poor officer immediately started chasing after the departing police car on foot.

Bai Xue quietly glanced toward Shen Tian.

"...Is she also a heroine?"

Shen Tian gave a half-nod.

"Yeah."

Then he lightly patted Bai Xue’s head.

"So don’t treat her too badly. I know you underground types don’t exactly love the police."

Bai Xue immediately let out a small humph.

"For my hubby, I’ll tolerate anything."

Then she happily hugged his arm and rested her face against his shoulder while relaxing completely.

Shen Tian chuckled softly.

"Come on. Let’s head to the hospital."

. . .

Inside the police cruiser.

Ye Chen silently lowered his head while pretending to remain weak and injured.

But internally, his mind was racing.

He could not get arrested.

Absolutely not.

If he entered the station now, everything would truly be over for him.

The police cruiser stopped at a red light.

Ye Chen’s bloodshot eyes instantly flashed coldly.

"Now!"

Using every last bit of strength remaining in his body, Ye Chen forcefully circulated the remnants of his Qi directly into his legs.

At the same time, he used the little Fate still protecting him.

CRACK!

With a violent kick, the police cruiser door exploded open.

"What the hell!?"

Before the officer could even react, Ye Chen violently ripped apart the restraints holding him down.

Even the handcuffs around his wrists snapped apart under sheer force.

"STOP!"

The officer immediately reached for him.

But Ye Chen had already moved.

WHOOSH!

He dashed out of the moving police cruiser and disappeared into the crowded sidewalk.

"SHIT!"

The officer instantly grabbed his radio.

"The naked man is on the loose! He escaped the cruiser! I repeat, the naked suspect escaped! I need this entire area locked down NOW!"

Within minutes, police sirens began flooding the city.

More and more cruisers surrounded nearby streets while officers rushed around trying to locate him.

Hidden deep inside a dark alleyway, Ye Chen leaned heavily against a wall while breathing hard.

His body was exhausted.

Bruised.

Bloody.

And still completely naked.

"...Damn it."

He glanced down at himself before gritting his teeth.

"I need clothes..."

Ye Chen’s eyes landed on a homeless man sleeping peacefully atop a cardboard box nearby.

The homeless man quietly snored, without realizing anything.

Ye Chen stared at his clothes for several seconds.

"...That’ll do."
