"?"
Yu Xiao was taken aback when he saw An Ming's concerned expression.
Have it?
Oh right, they were completely exhausted from the high temperature...
I pondered for a moment.
"What could possibly be wrong?"
"When I called the police, I said that when I saw them, they were all already lying on the ground."
Yu Xiao waved his hand dismissively and spoke.
Upon hearing this, An Ming hesitated for a moment.
Intuitively, An Ming felt there was something wrong, after all, Xu Jianming's report stated that Li Chengkun and others had collapsed due to excessive water loss.
But the pistol at Li Chengkun's waist had never been opened.
In other words, Li Chengkun collapsed instantly.
What kind of conditions would it take to make an adult collapse instantly due to excessive water loss?
Subconsciously, Anming felt that something was wrong.
However, he couldn't prove that something was wrong.
I thought about it.
"Mr. Yu Xiao, I'm so glad you're alright. I was almost scared to death when I received the report..."
An Ming patted his chest and looked at Yu Xiao with a relieved expression.
...
After saying goodbye to An Ming, and noticing that it was getting dark, Yu Xiao teleported back to his residence.
After returning home, Yu Xiao fumbled around for a while, pondered what he had said to the fairy dragon earlier that day, and then headed towards his bedroom.
As the sun rose the next day.
Yu Xiao, who woke up earlier than usual, walked out of the bathroom.
I was just about to reach for my phone on the bedside table.
"The peak generates false support, the twilight bears witness..."
The cell phone rang first.
Upon hearing the phone ring, Yu Xiao narrowed his eyes.
Especially after picking up his phone and seeing the caller ID "Lu Guocheng," a glint of light flashed deep in Yu Xiao's eyes.
I thought about it for a moment.
"crooked?"
Yu Xiao answered the phone and held it to his ear.
"Mr. Yu Xiao, have I disturbed you?"
On the other side, Lu Guocheng held his phone and spoke cautiously.
"What's the matter?"
Yu Xiao did not answer, but instead asked a question in return.
"Forehead……"
Hearing Yu Xiao's simple and blunt answer, Lu Guocheng choked for a moment.
Although his attempt to get closer to Yu Xiao failed, Lu Guocheng thought about it and realized the purpose of his call.
"Mr. Yu Xiao, it's like this."
"We apprehended Li Chengkun and his accomplices yesterday. Given their severe dehydration, we immediately sent them to the hospital."
"It wasn't until late at night that Li Chengkun and the others woke up, and we immediately arranged for people to interrogate Li Chengkun."
"But during the interrogation, Li Chengkun insisted that Mr. Yu Xiao, you not only teleported directly to the center of the field, but your whole body was engulfed in flames..."
Lu Guocheng tightened his grip on the phone and spoke rapidly.
However, Lu Guocheng hadn't finished saying his last sentence.
"You don't actually believe that, do you?"
Yu Xiao interrupted him directly.
"How is that possible? How could something so mysterious happen? Besides, this is the 21st century, a time when science is the norm."
"Besides, Mr. Yu Xiao, you are a native of Donghai City. How could we not believe you?"
Lu Guocheng shook his head almost without thinking.
Are you kidding me? It's the 21st century now, and you're telling me you've met a real-life superhero?
Besides, Yu Xiao was thoroughly investigated by the Public Security Bureau for selling dragon eggs. Do you think we don't know whether Yu Xiao is human or not?
"oh."
Yu Xiao nodded, his expression remaining calm.
The speculation has been confirmed once again; no one would believe such a thing unless they saw it with their own eyes.
"So, who are you looking for?"
"Because you helped crack down on a criminal gang, Mr. Yu Xiao, the Public Security Bureau is going to present you with a banner of appreciation. Of course, we have also reported the reward you mentioned earlier..."
Lu Guocheng thought for a moment.
Objectively speaking, this was not what Lu Guocheng originally intended to say.
Since Li Chengkun and the others insisted on their claim and spoke with absolute certainty, according to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, Yu Xiao was obligated to come and cooperate with the questioning.
However, after thinking about it, Lu Guocheng changed his mind.
He knew that Zeng Fangong was going to come down to Donghai City.
The Chief of the Great Xia Security Bureau personally came down to Donghai City? At this critical juncture, why is Yu Xiao being summoned to the Security Bureau for questioning?
Forget it... It would be better to have someone from Qingshan Mental Hospital come and check on Li Chengkun...
...
Yu Xiao was quite concerned about the reward the Public Security Bureau was going to give him.
Having lived two lives, he knew very well that the amount of money was not important, but whether the money came from a legal source was very important.
A legal 100 billion and an illegal 10 billion are worlds apart.
In terms of legality, nothing is more legal than money given by the state.
However, it was when Xiao stepped into the Yutian Ward Security Division.
"I really saw it! The man teleported first, and then suddenly burst into flames!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I suggest you investigate that man. Isn't your Public Security Division supposed to protect the safety of people's property?"
"He's definitely a superhuman! Or maybe a non-human being in human skin! You guys need to investigate him!"
A series of hysterical roars came from the room deep in the corridor.
And the next second.
"Behave yourself!"
"This is the 21st century, where do all these supernatural things come from? You guys watch too many American blockbusters, don't you?"
A slightly authoritative voice rang out.
Yu Xiao wasn't particularly curious about this conversation.
But Yu Xiao was a little curious about that last sentence.
"That voice...it sounds familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before?"
Yu Xiao frowned.
While Yu Xiao was pondering where he had heard this voice before.
"Wait here! I'll go make a phone call!"
That majestic voice rang out once again.
Immediately afterwards, the office door was pushed open, and a man with a resolute face and a burly build walked out.
next second.
"Yu Xiao?"
Nie Cheng blinked as he looked at Yu Xiao, who had appeared in his line of sight.
Nie Cheng hasn't been having a good time these days.
First, Yu Xiao was invited to undergo an investigation at the Public Security Bureau, but was then directly stopped by the station chief, Gu Beihe.
After that, Nie Cheng's life took a sharp turn for the worse.
Not only was he repeatedly targeted and criticized by Gu Beihe in meetings, but Gu Beihe also used an excuse to demote him to deputy section chief.
Afterwards, it is said that Lu Guocheng, the director of the Public Security Bureau, inquired about the matter and then felt that Nie Cheng was impetuous and unusable, and should be sent to the grassroots level for training.
So Nie Cheng became a clerk.
Yesterday, it is said that a higher-ups reviewed Nie Cheng's file and said, "This man is almost 40 years old and still so clumsy, how can he be like this?"
Thus, Nie Cheng went from being an office-based police officer to a grassroots police officer interrogating criminals.
Although these things were a bit frustrating, they were still within Nie Cheng's acceptable range. After all, from the moment Gu Beihe stepped in, Nie Cheng knew he was doomed.
But yesterday, a criminal gang was arrested. Not only the mastermind, but also his accomplices were swearing that they saw someone with flames coming out of their whole body.
That's nonsense. It's the 21st century. How could a person possibly be covered in flames?
Moreover, humans are carbon-based organisms, so how could they possibly remain unharmed under flames?
"You were the previous..."
Yu Xiao also came to his senses.
Isn't this the section chief who accused me of spreading false information online and wanted to arrest me?
But it's strange, why is he interrogating a prisoner...?
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Time passed amidst Yu Xiao's curiosity and Nie Cheng's changing expressions.
Five seconds later.
"Mr. Yu Xiao, what brings you here?"
"I was ignorant and offended you before, Mr. Yu Xiao. Please forgive me and don't take it to heart..."
Nie Cheng walked towards Yu Xiao with a mixture of surprise and flattery.
After walking up to Yu Xiao, Nie Cheng paused for a moment.
Before Yu Xiao could say anything...
"If Mr. Yu Xiao needs anything in the future, just call me. There's no need for you to come in person..."
Nie Cheng grabbed Yu Xiao's outstretched right hand, his face full of restraint.
Seeing Nie Cheng's expression, Yu Xiao became somewhat curious.
He hesitated for a moment.
"The person inside is...?"
Yu Xiao gestured towards the room with his lip.
Based on those previous sentences, Yu Xiao had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
"Them? They are the criminal gang led by Li Chengkun that you reported to the police yesterday, Mr. Yu Xiao."
Nie Cheng followed Yu Xiao's gaze and looked over.
He paused after saying that.
"I'm about to contact Aoyama Mental Hospital."
"Mr. Yu Xiao, if you'd like to go take a look, is that alright?"
