Chapter 95 |
“We’re just ordinary friends who met through work, but we’re not that close. I contacted her regarding work matters, nothing more to say.”
With that, Xu Lin explained, and the other person understood, knowing she’s a police officer, it must be internal business, so he nodded.
“Well then, let’s not discuss it. Does she have a boyfriend? Do you know?”
“I don’t know about that either. By the way, if brother Lei feels it’s appropriate, he can proactively ask.”
“No, no, let’s forget about it.”
The two arrived upstairs and found the second floor of this gym turned into a huge battlefield.
About 400 square meters of space were divided into two areas, with the floor made of sturdy material that was neither soft nor painful to fall on.
“The owner here likes martial arts, so he set up this area. When he’s not using it, everyone practices and spars here.”
Following his gesture, Xu Lin saw a group of people not far away, seemingly engaged in sparring.
“Brother Lei, what about you?”
“I can’t beat her. She’s very skilled, although she’s physically smaller than many of the guys who work out. There’s a natural difference between men and women, but skill can make up for it.”
“We don’t have much martial arts training here, just pure fitness. We might have strength, but we can’t win.”
Xu Lin and the other party spoke as they approached, and a group of people politely made room for them.
Xu Lin also saw the situation within the circle of people, a man and a woman. The woman was naturally Qin Yunhe, wearing a tight blue and black sports outfit.
She completely revealed her hidden good figure from yesterday, not the super S-curve like Ye Fanleng, but a healthy beauty.
Her wheat-colored skin, covered in sweat, glistened slightly under the lights, making her abdominal muscles even more prominent.
But her limbs didn’t have bulky muscle masses; instead, they had very smooth and flowing muscle lines, coupled with long legs, like a beautiful yet fierce cheetah.
A wave of queenly aura, no wonder everyone is staring at her. Indeed, men like beauty, regardless of whether the other person is a girly girl or a tomboy.
The man across from her perfectly fits the image of a fitness enthusiast in Xu Lin’s mind, with muscles bulging more than even Hong Lei beside him.
Most importantly, he’s taller, probably around 190cm, making Xu Lin feel awkward about his own 177cm height, not quite reaching 180cm.
At this moment, the two in the arena have also created some distance between them, and Qin Yunhe is squinting, panting heavily.
Then she attacks again, quickly and with good angles, but with a smack, the opponent blocks it directly.
And again, she strikes, and again, he blocks. It’s one person attacking and the other defending.
It seems like neither can defeat the other, but Xu Lin knows that if they continue like this, Qin Yunhe will definitely lose.
Because the opponent is clearly more resilient, and the areas he’s blocking are not vulnerable spots. He’s completely able to defend against her attacks.
Moreover, in this spar, they can’t use their most powerful moves, and some techniques are restricted, while he’s using his strength to block, wearing down her stamina.
But there’s another crucial point: that arm of his. If she lands just one punch on it, it’s basically over. The difference in strength is too great…
“Hu Ke is going to win.”
“Well, there’s too much of a weight difference. It’s okay for those of us under 200 pounds, but it’s hard to handle someone with such good stability in the lower body.”
“Hey buddy, shout to her, tell her to stop fighting, she can’t win.” Hong Lei on the side also whispered.
But Xu Lin shook his head. He felt it would be disrespectful to ask the other party to give up.
This was what Chu Fengyi had told him, and it was also what his past self in his dreams had made him aware of.
And at this moment, Qin Yunhe rushed forward as if to break through with full force!
The opponent also gave up defense directly and went straight to meet her head-on, which was an advantage for him!
But suddenly, in the blink of an eye, Qin Yunhe’s leg whipped down, hitting the opponent’s shin, causing the opponent to stagger!
He quickly adjusted himself, but Qin Yunhe surged forward again, delivering another whip kick, hitting the opponent’s other leg!
The opponent instantly spread his arms, one hand supporting the ground to prevent himself from falling, then his right hand gave up blocking subsequent attacks and threw a punch towards Qin Yunhe who was about to continue attacking!
Qin Yunhe swiftly withdrew, his punch hitting empty air, creating a terrifying sound as it cut through the air!
After dodging, Qin Yunhe pushed off the ground and leaped forward again, like a cheetah pouncing!
Her legs hooked around his neck in mid-air, then she forcefully pushed her body backward, finally bringing him down to the ground!
With a thud, his back hit the ground, and she immediately released her legs, standing up and looking down at him triumphantly.
“I won.”
“Impressive… but if it were a fight to the death, do you think you could still win?” He slowly sat up, shaking his head, though he seemed somewhat unconvinced by his defeat.
“Then let’s continue next time; my friend is here.” With that, she waved to Xu Lin who was approaching and walked over.
Instantly, he felt countless malevolent gazes, but he didn’t care anymore because he had endured such stares countless times before, all because of when he was with Chu Qingchan.
“Good morning, Sister Qin.”
“It’s not morning anymore. You lazy kid, sleeping in so late?”
“I didn’t…”
“Haha, alright, go over there, there’s a small lounge for chatting.”
“Okay.”
The two of them walked directly to the side, arriving at a small door with a green light above it, indicating it was available. Inside, there was only a small table, two chairs, and not much else, the space about the size of a restroom.
“Sorry, I smell sweaty.”
“I know, but even if women smell bad, they still smell better than men, otherwise why call them ‘stinky men’?”
“Hahaha, no wonder you stole Wanwan away, you’re quite the smooth talker.”
“I’m not that smooth, let’s get to the point.”
“Alright.” She lightly wiped the sweat from her body and forehead, her expression turning serious.
Then, Xu Lin briefly mentioned Ma Zhiyu’s situation to the other party, of course omitting some details.
It was about Ma Zhiyu already planning to join, and the part about Lu Man, he only said Lu Man was deceived into it, wanting to escape but being treated harshly.
Finally, there was a chance to seek help from Ma Zhiyu, and later Ma Zhiyu told him, asking for his assistance.
“Why didn’t they report to the police? You could have reported directly to the police, discussed with us first, why wait so long…”
“They’re afraid, aren’t they?”
“Indeed, some scam groups really do retaliate, some even hold grudges even after getting out.”
“So, that’s why I came to you, Sister Qin. Is there any way to directly solve the problem without arousing suspicion about who the informant is?”
“Do you know how a fraud gang was busted a few days ago?” Qin Yunhe smiled.
“I don’t know…?”
“One of our colleague’s wife received a scam call, and he recorded it. Then he called back and accused the scammer of being his wife’s affair partner.”
“The scammer explained, and this colleague pretended to be stupid, and was deceived into the gang as a victim.”
“He worked there for over half a month, and finally, we took action and successfully caught them all.”
“Impressive.”
Xu Lin admired the undercover work; there are many police officers risking their lives to help others stay safe.
“So, we can do the same!”
“Huh? But how do we go about it…”
“We know the location, right? They disguised themselves as a network company, didn’t they? So, just like that girl, we apply and get in!”
“That does make sense.”
“Mainly, we need to find evidence and assess the situation; there’s no need to stay undercover for too long. Once we have a rough idea of what’s going on, we’ll contact the higher-ups and send in a small team to handle it!”
“I’ll leave those tasks to Sister Qin.”
“Alright, tomorrow I’ll go over there and investigate.”
“Huh? Are you planning to go alone? It’s very dangerous; they have crossbows.”
“But someone has to go in. Don’t worry, I can handle it.” She clenched her fist, recalling her father’s words.
‘I, Qin Yunhe, will definitely do what I said, and I will prove that my path is not wrong. I can be a good police officer!’
Seeing her like this, Xu Lin couldn’t help but worry. This girl seems to have some other thoughts or purposes, which isn’t something an undercover agent should have.
