Chapter 3: Is There Anything You Can't Do!

Colleagues helping each other out isn't too much to ask, right?

It's all for the sake of cracking the case, so even if some aspects were a bit out of line, that's understandable.

You're the one! Give me a ride!

Yu Dazhang suddenly stepped forward, pressed both hands on Zhang Sen's waist, and leaped with all his might...

Zhang Sen never in his wildest dreams imagined something like this would happen to him!!

Seeing the suspect running off in the distance, he was just about to straighten his back to give chase when he suddenly felt a pair of hands press down on his waist.

Before he could turn his head to look, a tremendous pressure came from his waist.

Caught off guard, Zhang Sen lost his balance, staggered forward in a rush, and switched from holding his cane with one hand to two.

That single leap sent him shooting forward more than ten meters.

Even so, Zhang Sen still couldn't find his balance—the person riding on his waist was seriously overweight.

This was only possible because it was Zhang Sen; an ordinary person would have been crushed long ago.

The nickname "Little Cheetah" wasn't earned for nothing—those legs really had power.

"Who is it!!"

Suffering such a devastating blow, Zhang Sen couldn't be bothered with anything else.

He bellowed at the top of his lungs, straining to keep his balance, terrified of being pressed flat.

If he fell now and that person on his waist sat down on him, his guts would spill right out.

Yu Dazhang hadn't expected things to go so smoothly—the direction Zhang Sen charged forward was exactly the route the suspect was fleeing along.

What's more, he noticed that ever since he mounted Zhang Sen, the suspect ahead seemed to have been hit with a Body-Fixing Spell, standing in place without moving.

Staring fixedly at them with wide eyes, mouth agape, yet not making a single sound.

It wasn't that the suspect couldn't run anymore—on the contrary, he'd just crossed to the other side of the road, right at the exhilarating moment when he'd finally shaken off that fatty.

But, as luck would have it, he glanced back...

Just that one glance made him freeze on the spot, standing rigid, unable to move an inch.

His mind went completely blank, with only one thought echoing through his head: What the hell is he riding?

What a niche mount~

And it's pretty fast, too.

Even after Yu Dazhang and Zhang Sen arrived right in front of him, he still hadn't reacted, still standing there in a daze.

"Run! Why aren't you running?" Yu Dazhang grabbed the suspect's arm:

"Weren't you running pretty fast just now!"

The suspect didn't answer, but his gaze drifted downward, toward Zhang Sen, who was still struggling.

It just goes to show acting requires real talent—even right before his eyes, the suspect didn't recognize that this was a man in disguise.

"You're a cop, right?" The suspect looked up at Yu Dazhang with a bewildered face:

"Are cops really this unscrupulous in how they handle cases now?"

Jolted awake by the suspect's words, Yu Dazhang hurriedly dismounted, and seeing Zhang Sen about to collapse, immediately reached out to steady him.

This credit belongs to both of us... Yu Dazhang was very satisfied with this round of mutual assistance.

They're colleagues, after all—of course credit is meant to be shared.

Look how happy Zhang Sen is—he's even sticking his tongue out.

Sticking his tongue out!!

"You okay? What happened?" Yu Dazhang squatted down and asked anxiously.

Zhang Sen took several deep, gasping breaths, and once he saw clearly that it was Yu Dazhang, he raised his arm and pointed at him:

"Good, good, good, good..."

Whether from exhaustion or fury, Zhang Sen "good"-ed for the longest time, yet couldn't manage to get a full sentence out.

Yu Dazhang grew even more anxious, patted his back, then glared at the suspect:

"Just to catch you, look what you've done to the guy—worn him out completely!"

"What the hell does that have to do with me!" The suspect immediately refused to take it.

He could own up to his own crimes, but he was determined to distance himself from this.

Seeing Yu Dazhang about to say more, the suspect hurriedly added:

"You're the one riding a grandma to chase me, not me riding a grandma to escape!"

If this didn't get cleared up, how could he ever face people again, how would his peers see him. Our fencing trade has its bottom lines too, you know.

All in all, this arrest operation was a great success; the only minor flaw was that Yu Dazhang hadn't followed the plan.

Before the operation, Lu Zhongxin had given Yu Dazhang the mission of blending into the matchmaking market for covert surveillance.

To put it plainly, there had never been any intention of letting him take action.

After all, Yu Dazhang was only a probationary police officer, and it was his first time participating in an operation.

Sending such a rookie to arrest a suspect was bound to lead to mishaps.

If anyone got hurt or the suspects were tipped off, Lu Zhongxin, as his mentor, would definitely bear the main responsibility.

The moment they got back to the station, Lu Zhongxin called Yu Dazhang aside on his own.

"Did you stuff donkey hair in your ears? Did I or did I not tell you not to make a move!"

"That's not right." Yu Dazhang still felt wronged:

"Back then you said the suspects had appeared, and you even said how many there were—I thought you wanted me to pin them down."

"Pin them down?" Lu Zhongxin was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Yu Dazhang to have a comeback, but he quickly came back to himself:

"Do you have some misunderstanding about the word 'contain'? You went straight in and knocked over two of them—is this how you contain? Luckily the suspects weren't seriously hurt; at least you know your own strength, kid."

After so many years as a detective, Lu Zhongxin's eyesight and observational skills were far beyond ordinary people.

Back then, he'd already noticed: Yu Dazhang looked clueless, but his strikes were precisely controlled.

That kick against the first suspect? Clearly, he held back.

If it had been some greenhorn, that kick would've shattered the man's bones.

If the man had broken bones, it would've met the standard for minor injury.

If the suspect had been a violent bandit or murderer, this wouldn't have been wrong.

But the problem is, the suspect was only handling stolen goods—not a serious crime.

"Heh, I got too eager," Yu Dazhang said, immediately lowering his head and bowing in apology as Lu Zhongxin's tone softened.

"I'll be more careful next time. I was just afraid the suspect would run off and embarrass Master."

Watching Yu Dazhang's apologetic grin, Lu Zhongxin kept a cold face on the outside—but felt quite satisfied inside.

No matter what, this disciple had guts and knew his limits; he was far better than the other greenhorns who'd joined at the same time.

Just as he was about to give Yu Dazhang more instructions, Captain Zhang Sen hurried into the corridor.

"Old Lu, come in!"

After saying that, he glared at Yu Dazhang.

What's going on?

Confused, Yu Dazhang followed Lu Zhongxin into the room.

Inside, he noticed everyone in the team was staring at him strangely—like he was a giant panda in a zoo.

Two of them were biting their lips hard, faces flushed.

"How the hell did you bring him?!"

After entering, Zhang Sen roared at Lu Zhongxin.

Lu Zhongxin was baffled—he thought Yu Dazhang had deviated from the plan and caused the captain to get reprimanded.

But then he reconsidered: this was too minor to reach the leadership's ears.

Besides, the arrest had gone perfectly—there was no reason for accountability.

Seeing Lu Zhongxin's confused expression, Zhang Sen grew angrier.

"This is the emergency report just sent from the command center—figure out how to handle it!"

Taking the printed document from Zhang Sen, Lu Zhongxin glanced at it once—and frowned.

Who the hell is this?

How despicable.

When he saw the bottom, veins bulged on his forehead.

"Yu Dazhang, what have you done!" he shouted, slamming the emergency report onto the table.

"Is there anything you can't do?!"
