"What's so strange about that?" Lin Chuan grinned: "After all, I am a Chinese, aren't I?"

"Who knows about you!" Song Xiaojia flipped her hair and turned to leave.

Watching Song Xiaojia's departing figure, Lin Chuan suddenly remembered that night. This seemingly spirited girl appeared so gentle in bed, like a tender little kitten. She was different from Fang Yuan, who seemed ladylike in appearance but was very flirtatious behind the scenes, especially in bed, where she appeared quite wild. If not for Lin Chuan, most men would probably find it hard to handle Fang Yuan, this wildcat.

Song Xiaojia's back always sparked one's imagination, especially in that neatly fitted uniform, which gave people a sense of fetish for uniforms.

"What are you looking at?" Zhou Rui glared at Lin Chuan and said: "Haven't you seen beautiful women? A beauty so close to you and you're looking at her instead?"

Lin Chuan scratched his head and chuckled: "I was just looking, nothing else."

"I don't know if there's anything else." Zhou Rui replied, saying, "Come on, they've been taken in, and we're still standing here?"

"Hmm!" Lin Chuan nodded.

Zhou Kai and his team assisted the police in bringing the suspects to the station, while Lin Chuan drove Zhou Kai away. This act of revenge made Lin Chuan somewhat alert. It was the first act of revenge after eradicating the Tiger Gang. Would there be a second or third time? Lin Chuan wasn't certain. But this worry constantly made him anxious.

Hence, he felt it was necessary to figure out a way to curb such occurrences.

.................

Returning from the Western City District, Lin Chuan went directly to the transportation market.

Zhou Kai and the others, after helping Song Xiaojia bring the suspects to the police station, directly returned to the transportation market.

Zhou Kai and his team appeared extremely excited and lively. The group was chattering as they walked. Upon returning to the transportation market, they immediately saw Lin Chuan standing at the entrance, smoking, with his left hand in his pocket, giving off a weathered look.

"Brother Chuan, why are you still here?" Zhou Kai curiously asked.

"Wasn't I waiting for you guys to return?" Lin Chuan smiled.

"Brother Chuan, we really did a great job this time." Zhou Kai said excitedly at the side: "Officer Song said, he mentioned that these people are international criminals wanted by multiple governments. We actually caught them this time. Officer Song said he wants to reward us well."

"Oh?" Lin Chuan was taken aback and said: "Is there such a thing?"

"Isn't it." Zhou Kai immediately nodded and then said: "It's said these people have killed in the United States, caused chaos in Europe, and reportedly done bad things in Italy too. These guys are quite literally an international cancer. They are wanted by many countries."

"Goodness." Lin Chuan heard this and laughed: "Then we really did a good deed this time?"

"Indeed." Everyone nodded and said, "This time, we really achieved a great deed. Officer Song said she wants to reward us. She said it needs to be approved by the City Committee, and it might take a few days to get through. By then, we'll be excellent citizens, and of course, there will be bonuses."

The group was elated.

Lin Chuan looked at them but did not interrupt. It wasn't until the excitement subsided that Lin Chuan chimed in, saying: "Brothers, what happened this time gave us a wake-up call. Although the Tiger Gang has been completely eradicated, that doesn't mean we are safe. This time, even international criminals have appeared, suggesting that potential threats are still substantial. So, I think it's necessary for us to implement some important measures."

"Brother Chuan, what do you propose?" The group curiously asked.

"I think we should cooperate with the police and form a patrol team." Lin Chuan frowned and said: "Also, add everyone to a WeChat group, and make everyone check in daily. If someone doesn't check in, immediately check up by phone. This way, we can ensure everyone's safety to a significant extent. Although it's not a hundred percent accurate, it can certainly ensure everyone's safety to a great extent."

"But what if everyone has gone home, what then?" Zhou Kai asked.

"If you encounter danger, seek help in the group immediately." Lin Chuan said: "If you call, it might happen that the person doesn't have their phone, or the phone's dead. But it's different in the group, everyone's in the group, and someone could see it at any moment, ensuring help requests are never missed."

"Hmm!" Upon hearing this, Zhou Kai immediately thought it made sense and nodded: "Brother Chuan, you're right, I'll take care of this matter."

"Okay!" Lin Chuan nodded.

Once this is sorted, Lin Chuan would be more at ease. It's important to know that he will eventually have to leave Jiangbei City, so if he left Jiangbei City, who will be responsible for the safety of Zhou Rui, Song Xiaojia, Tang Yumeng... and the rest?

There's less than a week before the New Year. According to the related requirements issued by ******, government organizations, and related institutions will be on vacation starting the twenty-ninth of the lunar year. This means that all government and institution offices would be on holiday in five days.

The twenty-fifth day of the lunar twelfth month.

This was a cold day, and the pedestrians on the street were wrapped in thick down jackets, with the day seemingly about to snow. The dark, heavy clouds made people feel depressed and stifled. A gust of cold wind blew, making people shiver. Pedestrians on the road stuffed their hands into their coat pockets, wrapped their faces with scarves to protect themselves from the cold wind, and tried to maintain their body temperature.

On this day, a police car drove into Changlin Community.

The houses in Changlin Community these days have mostly been demolished, with only a few buildings left on the eastern side. Some resistant residents have been cooperating with Liu Jianjun, which is why the demolition hasn't been completed. Lin Chuan's home has remained intact, maintaining the surroundings' original appearance. When to demolish Lin Chuan's house has always been up to Lin Chuan. Of course, Lin Chuan is reluctant to tear down his home, and he doesn't want to see the place where his mother lived all her life destroyed.

So, Lin Chuan intends to take care of it himself after he leaves.

A police car stopped in front of Lin Chuan's house.

Song Xiaojia got out of the car and hurriedly walked toward Lin Chuan's house.

Knock knock knock...

The knocking was urgent, and it was quite loud.

Lin Chuan shouted loudly, "Who is it, knocking so early in the morning?"

"It's me." Song Xiaojia responded.

Lin Chuan opened the door from inside, poking his head out. "Xiaojia, what's up so early in the morning?"

"There is something." Song Xiaojia nodded immediately, "Hurry and come with me."

"What's the matter?" Lin Chuan asked urgently.

Bam...

Song Xiaojia directly pushed the door open, then said, "Of course there's something, why would I look for you if there wasn't?"

However, after entering, she realized she might have made a mistake; Lin Chuan was only wearing a pair of underpants, and the bulge was almost bursting through the fabric, leaving her dumbfounded, staring at him in shock.

"Why... why aren't you wearing pants?" Song Xiaojia asked hastily.

"I was still sleeping, wasn't I?" Lin Chuan smiled helplessly, "Who told you to break in? I wasn't ready."

"Go put on your clothes and come with me." Song Xiaojia gave Lin Chuan an annoyed look, "You really are something, a grown man acting like this. Really."

Lin Chuan was taken aback, then grinned and said, "Alright, alright."

With that, Lin Chuan quickly went inside.

Watching Lin Chuan's back, Song Xiaojia couldn't help but smile a little. However, when she looked up at Mrs. Lin's memorial portrait, she immediately felt an endless sorrow. Every time she thought of Mrs. Lin's case, she felt this sorrow, a feeling that left her quite melancholy. It seemed like an uncontrollable tragedy, a struggle between justice and evil.

Back then, Song Xiaojia always considered herself just, until now she realized that she was actually on the side of evil back then.

Justice doesn't mean wearing a police uniform, holding the authority granted by the people. Evil doesn't represent the grassroots, nor those oppressed who resist. Actually, even now, Song Xiaojia doesn't fully understand what justice or evil truly means. She only knows that as long as she doesn't act against her conscience and remains faithful to it, that is enough. At least it honors herself and the power granted by the citizens.

Song Xiaojia turned around and walked to Mrs. Lin's memorial portrait, respectfully lighting three incense sticks and then bowing sincerely.

At this moment, Lin Chuan came out of the room, quickly freshened up, and followed Song Xiaojia out.

Song Xiaojia remained silent along the way.

"Xiaojia, in this cold winter, so early in the morning, why did you pull me out here, what's going on?" Lin Chuan asked puzzledly.

"It's nothing." Song Xiaojia shook her head, "You'll find out when we get there."

"With that look on your face," Lin Chuan said, looking at Song Xiaojia, "can it be nothing? There must be something important, but you won't tell me."

"Hehe, I wouldn't harm you, anyway!" Song Xiaojia giggled.

"Well... can you at least give me a hint?" Lin Chuan looked at Song Xiaojia with confusion.

"Alright." Song Xiaojia nodded, "Then I'll tell you, this matter has something to do with those international fugitives you caught the other day."

"Uh..." Lin Chuan was stunned, "Why are you involving me in this? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, does it?"

"Of course, it does!" Song Xiaojia responded immediately.

"How is it related?" Lin Chuan frowned.
