Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 413: Chapter 409 Am I Stupid?

”Father, what if we don’t figure it out this time?”

On the balcony of the third floor of the police station, Su Ni and her father stood looking out, observing Lin Zifeng pacing back and forth in front of the station through the surveillance cameras.

This guy really knows how to idle around, just waiting at the entrance of the station, puffing on his cheap, five-yuan-and-fifty-cent cigarettes without a hint of a master’s poise...

”I don’t know, right now we can only take it one step at a time. As long as we catch Death God, everything will have a result.”

”But I can’t be too sure if he really is that person? At that time, I just smelled a familiar scent on him, if it’s not him, would there be any bad consequences when the time comes? I’m afraid...”

”If you are almost ninety percent sure, then what are we waiting for? Without trying, how will you know whether he is the legendary Death God or not?” Su Ni’s father turned his robust figure around, resting his hands on Su Ni’s shoulders with a stern face, ”Su Ni, don’t forget, we are the people’s police. Since we put on this uniform, our lives and powers no longer belong to us alone, whatever his purpose might be, we must perform our duties as police officers. The incident that happened at the building yesterday has already shocked the higher-ups, Death God’s appearances are becoming more frequent, and it won’t be long before he reveals his true identity. That’s why we must catch him before he shows his real face!”

”But he saved me yesterday!” Su Ni’s eyes instantly reddened.

After several days of investigation, her father had already begun to suspect Lin Zifeng’s identity.

It was just that there hadn’t been a right opportunity to test him until after the incident at the building yesterday.

The appearance of the man with the bronze mask was even reported on television, finally causing Su Ni’s father to become restless.

According to Su Ni’s description this morning, the scent emanating from the man with the bronze mask was somewhat similar to that of Lin Zifeng’s.

It seemed there was definitely a connection between them.

So now, by having Lin Zifeng come over, her father wanted to test out Lin Zifeng’s real identity to proceed with the arrest.

People, no matter how well they hide, can never change their own scent, especially those who are criminal police like them.

Their noses are like those of dogs.

A sniff is all it takes to guess who it is.

Since Death God saved Su Ni yesterday, her heart was in turmoil.

She repeatedly wished to herself that Lin Zifeng was definitely not the Death God; if so, caught between her father and the Death God who had saved her life,

she would find it very difficult to choose...

At this moment, inside Su Ni’s heart, she was desperately hoping Lin Zifeng had nothing to do with Death God. If things turned out to be as she imagined, she didn’t know how to face it.

”You have no choice! Because you’re a police officer!” Su Yong said sternly.

Su Ni simply bowed her head in silence, not saying a word.

”You know what you should do, I don’t need to say anything more, right?” The man stood with his hands behind his back, his towering figure exerting endless pressure on Su Ni.

”Yes...” Su Ni nodded, feeling a pain in her heart that was far worse than any physical pain.

It wasn’t until after Su Ni had left that the man picked up a cup of strong tea and quietly savored it.

”Su Ni, don’t blame your father for being harsh; it’s not to prove myself, but to take back what was lost!” The man seemed to recall a reluctantly remembered past, and his expression suddenly became a bit desolate.

Lin Zifeng, who had been squatting at the entrance of the police station smoking one cigarette after another, was finally getting impatient.

Just as he was about to leave, Su Ni finally showed up.

Seeing her looking somewhat flustered, Lin Zifeng also wondered, could it be that the girl was hurt too badly yesterday and still hadn’t recovered?

”Lin Zifeng!” Su Ni began to shout his name from a distance.

”Hey Miss, you finally showed up. If you hadn’t come, I was afraid I’d have turned grey waiting,” Lin Zifeng felt pitiful for himself, having waited for a good half-hour, as if he had been made to stand guard.

”Making you wait and you’re not happy? Miss here is giving you face, you know how many people wait for Miss and she doesn’t even want to glance at them. You should be so happy you’d cry.”

”Cry? Ha, Officer Su, don’t joke, with your temper, is there anyone not scared to death to chase you? Wouldn’t that be a death wish?”

”You!”

”Officer Su, don’t forget it was you who took the initiative to find me today, don’t point at me, I’m not scared of you.”

”How can you be so thick-skinned?” Su Ni was so angry she nearly slapped him.

And this guy is related to the Death God?

You’ve got to be kidding!

It’s not like Su Ni hasn’t seen the Death God before. Even if she steps back ten thousand steps, she still doesn’t think Lin Zifeng has anything to do with the Death God.

”Really now?”

”What do you think?”

”So-so, hehe.”

”...”

Su Ni was defeated.

”Come on, follow me to a place.”

”Where to?” Lin Zifeng asked.

”To catch a thief! Dare or not?” Su Ni challenged with a coy shout.

”No way!” Lin Zifeng said seriously.

”You... you really have no guts!”

She thought provoking him would definitely work, yet he answered so straightforwardly.

”I’m not a cop. Why should I fill myself up and then go catching thieves with you? Am I stupid or what!”

”Are you even a man?” Su Ni asked with a stern face.

”Doesn’t seem like this question has anything to do with whether I’m a man, does it?”

After all the commotion, this chick must be really bored to make Lin Zifeng come all this way just to help her catch a thief.

Lin Zifeng really wondered if Su Ni was like those women of legend - all braun and no brains.

”Last time I’m asking, will you go or not?”

In fact, Su Ni’s heart was also in avoidance, fearing the worst—that the results would turn out just like her father had speculated.

”You could kill me, and I still wouldn’t go!”

”Fine! If you won’t go, forget it!” Having said that, Su Ni turned and walked straight toward the police station without a second word, not even glancing back once.

Lin Zifeng was silently betting that she would turn around within ten seconds, but to his surprise, Su Ni actually left right when she said she would!

What’s going on here?

Unknown to Lin Zifeng, Su Ni was doing this simply as a show for her father.

At this very moment, she knew that her father was watching her from a balcony at the police station.

Per her father’s instructions, the idea was to test whether Lin Zifeng had any connection to the Death God or not.

But Su Ni’s thinking was very straightforward.

She didn’t want to do it because the Death God had saved her.

She didn’t want to be an ungrateful woman.

She also didn’t want to find out whether Lin Zifeng really had anything to do with the Death God...

It wasn’t until after Lin Zifeng had left that Su Ni finally came out from beside the police car at the entrance of the police station.

When she returned to the balcony, her father, Su Yong, had already been waiting there for a long time.

Seeing Su Ni come in, the man stood with his hands behind his back, not turning his head, his voice somewhat cold, ”You tried?”

”Yes.” Su Ni knew she was in the wrong, and kept her head down, not daring to look at her father.
