“Su Ming, stop right there!”
Li Chengming was furious and in pain, not even bothering to close the police car door as he quickly took small steps to chase after Su Ming.
On the pedestrian street, a scene of “he runs, he chases” unfolded.
It drew gasps of amazement from passersby.
“Dad, look, there’s a police officer chasing a green giant!”
“Where’s the green… Holy cow, it really is a giant!”
“That’s not a giant he’s chasing! Isn’t that police officer chasing the King of Hell? With those fists, wouldn’t one punch turn him into meat paste?!”
“That’s why I say, being a police officer isn’t easy. Even if he catches up, won’t he just get beaten up?”
An old man shook his head and sighed, lamenting that every profession has its difficulties.
After all, Su Ming’s physique truly resembled a monster, and Li Chengming’s pursuit looked to everyone like a mouse trying to suck a cat’s… well, like he was purely seeking death.
That Da Kuai Tou looked like he could fight even better than Tyson, so even if the police officer caught up, what could he do?
Su Ming, running ahead, naturally had no time to heed Li Chengming’s shouts; at this moment, he had only one thought in his mind.
That was to not let the habitual thief escape.
The amount involved in the case was sixty-nine thousand?
Such a habitual thief, every day he stayed in society, he would harm the public for one more day.
He must be arrested immediately!
As for the shouts coming from behind, they had been swept away by the whistling wind brought by his frantic run.
Su Ming, with his burly physique, was naturally gifted, and coupled with years of training, his physical fitness was no joke.
When he ran, he was like an Oriental pickup truck with the pedal to the metal, one man running with an unstoppable momentum.
Each of his long strides covered two or three steps for an ordinary person, and with his quick pace, he left Li Chengming far behind in just a few breaths.
It wasn’t until the familiar light red glow appeared again in his Friend's Eye that Su Ming stopped running, his breathing steady, and stepped over the railing to enter the pedestrian street.
Inside the street, people came and went, and occasionally foreign tourists emerged from shops.
However, no matter who they were, their first glance at Su Ming would reveal a look of shock.
Su Ming had long been accustomed to the exaggerated reactions of those around him, so he naturally didn't bother to pay attention.
His eyes were fixed on the man, and the text above the man’s head had changed again in just a few minutes.
【Zhu A Si, Friend's Value 44, Jianghu Achievements: 1. Three times in the bitter kiln for further study. 2. Professional thief, currently carrying stolen goods worth seventy-four thousand. Warm reminder: In a group of three, there must be a teacher for me. Choose the fat one to rob. Young man, how about a black-on-black?】
In just a few minutes, the value of the stolen goods he was carrying went from sixty-nine thousand to seventy-four thousand.
His Friend's Value also increased by 1 point, from 43 to 44.
Apparently, he had just stolen something worth five thousand yuan without realizing it.
And the habitual offender named Zhu A Si also noticed someone following him; a slight nervousness appeared on his face, and he began to look back vigilantly.
Almost instantly, he spotted Su Ming’s presence.
There was no way around it; Su Ming standing in the crowd was like a Gestapo, his iron-tower-like height paired with brick-like muscles, plus that utterly heinous aura, was simply too eye-catching and hard not to notice.
Zhu A Si evidently saw Su Ming as well, and his eyes immediately showed a shocked expression, startled by Su Ming’s unique aura.
This aura of a hardened, evil bandit, he must have either just gotten out or was about to go in.
They were both from Jiangbei City, so perhaps they were even cellmates!
Presumably thinking that neither of them was anything good, Zhu A Si’s gaze towards Su Ming changed from initial wariness to a much friendlier one.
Su Ming also noticed that the thief named Zhu A Si had spotted him; after all, he stood out like a crane among chickens in the crowd, too conspicuous.
It was almost impossible to sneak up to the other party without being noticed.
Looking at the bustling crowd of tourists in front of him, Su Ming felt a bit troubled; there was still some distance between them, and Zhu A Si had clearly noticed him.
He wasn't afraid of not being able to catch this young thief.
But a frantic chase on such a crowded sidewalk would likely result in him breaking countless bones of passersby!
Su Ming had a bit of a headache; for the first time, he felt that being too burly wasn't good.
However, as their eyes met again, he suddenly had an idea.
“What are you looking at?!”
With a thunderous roar, like a dry land thunderstorm, Su Ming glared with his bell-like eyes and pointed at Zhu A Si, demanding in an intimidating manner.
Many passersby were startled by the shout and turned their heads to look; a man of extremely burly build and violent demeanor was glaring furiously, scolding a middle-aged man not far away.
The previously noisy and chaotic pedestrian street instantly fell silent; clearly, everyone was intimidated by Su Ming.
The crowd sandwiched between Su Ming and Zhu A Si retreated rapidly to both sides like a receding tide, leaving a large empty space between the two, fearing that if they were slow to dodge, Su Ming would “eat them with sauce.”
Su Ming felt helpless inside, but he was already accustomed to the fearful and surprised looks of passersby, so he didn't find it strange.
But Zhu A Si, who was instantly facing Su Ming, had a completely bewildered expression.
????
He looked left and right, realizing that Su Ming was not only glaring at him but also striding towards him.
The oppressive aura was no less than that of a fierce tiger.
For a moment, he was so scared that his legs went weak, but amidst his panic, Zhu A Si couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
We’re all from the Jianghu, but you’re being too overbearing!
I just glanced at you, so what?!
If you didn’t look at me, how would you know I looked at you?
Watching Su Ming approach with large strides, Zhu A Si really wanted to retort, “What if I look at you?” but looking at the other party’s arms, which were thicker than his own thighs, he didn’t dare to utter a sound.
As Su Ming’s shadow enveloped him, Zhu A Si swallowed hard and, looking up, said with a fawning smile.
“Big brother, I just thought you looked like my dad!”
“Your dad? Really similar?” Su Ming heard Zhu A Si’s flattery, rubbed his head with his large hand, and asked back with a chuckle.
“Mm-hmm! I never lie, he’s exactly like him!” Zhu A Si nodded frantically, his face full of wrinkles from smiling, terrified that one wrong word would anger the unpredictable man in front of him again.
Those casserole-sized fists, one punch would take his old life.
Looking at Zhu A Si’s old face, smiling like a chrysanthemum, Su Ming felt a chill and scoffed.
“Don’t you dare smile like that, Zhu A Si! Get down on your knees!!”
Zhu A Si froze, his name called out on the spot, coupled with that familiar, commanding tone, an impossible possibility inexplicably surged into his mind.
Looking at the bandit-like man in front of him, his unfamiliar gaze was like how Harbin people looked at Harbin last winter.
Didn’t we say we were cellmates?
Didn’t we say neither of us was any good?
“Buddy, who are you?” Zhu A Si asked, unwilling to give up.
Seeing that Zhu A Si still wasn’t cooperating, Su Ming directly slapped him to the ground, twisted his hands behind his back, and pressed him down with his knee.
The surrounding crowd instantly erupted, indignantly watching the Hulk-like man act so violently, but seeing Su Ming’s bandit-leader-like demeanor, no one dared to step forward to stop him.
“Who am I?” Su Ming grinned, and continued slowly.
“Of course, I’m a police officer.”
When Zhu A Si heard the words “police officer,” his face immediately turned pale, and he struggled wildly, trying desperately to break free from Su Ming’s control.
But at this moment, Su Ming’s large hand was like an iron clamp, firmly gripping his wrist; with a slight struggle, the force from the giant hand almost crushed his bones.
“Ouch, ouch, ouch… So what if you’re a police officer! Is being a police officer so great?! Can police officers just hit people casually?!”
Zhu A Si still wouldn’t give up, saying with a show of bravado: “Look at you, you say you’re a police officer! Who would believe it! If you’re a police officer! Then I’m the director of the Public Security Bureau!”
