Chapter 245: I’m Still Just a Kid
by xennovelChapter 245: I’m Still Just a Kid
Indeed, something big is about to happen.
Terrorist elements have surfaced in Capital City S!
What exactly are these terrorists?
Anyone with even a bit of sense knows exactly what they’re like!
Whether it was Earth from Xiao Yu’s previous life or this parallel world,
terrorist elements have always been ruthlessly suppressed and eradicated by the world.
They are too brutal and dangerous, wreaking havoc and instilling terror in society.
Every year, countless innocents around the globe fall victim to these beasts!
……
Provincial Armed Police Hospital.
A special ward.
Xiao Yu stood by the bedside, his cold gaze fixed on the still-dazed female hijacker.
She should not be labeled as a ‘female terrorist’!
Shu Yuzhen, Female, 29 years old, a resident of Capital City S…
All her records have been uncovered.
It was even found that her identification and bank accounts had been inactive for two years.
Could that be?
It’s possible!
It only suggests that for these two years, she has been staying in a place where IDs and expenses are irrelevant.
Where might that be?
Xiao Yu’s expression was icily cold.
That place must be found.
Not only do we have to track it down, but everyone who has been in contact with Shu Yuzhen—the suspected terrorist—must be apprehended.
Not a single person can be spared!
Their impact on society is simply too dangerous!
“Little brother, I really don’t want to see you, you know that?”
A voice belonging solely to Wang Dong muttered from behind, “Can’t you just chill out? Do you really go around blowing things up wherever you go?”
The chill on his face melted away as Xiao Yu turned around.
Upon seeing Wang Dong, he grinned, “Do you think I do as I please? It was Big Boss who sent me to the Provincial Capital to check things out and assist with the case… I’m still just a kid, so don’t expect too much from me!”
“Kid… what about your face?”
Wang Dong rolled his eyes, “Don’t you feel like you’re almost a walking disaster? Wherever you go, trouble follows—you have to admit it.”
“Uh, well…”
Xiao Yu gave an awkward laugh, “It has nothing to do with my constitution.”
It’s all fate and the system’s fault—I’m innocent!
“Since you’re here, fine.”
Without another word, Wang Dong said, “I think…”
“No, you don’t think!”
Xiao Yu immediately interrupted, “Don’t even think about handing me command—I’m only in charge of investigation this time; you take the lead on the operation.”
A shiver ran down his spine as he remembered the system’s timer.
His sharp mind raced, desperately seeking a way to survive…
“What are you daydreaming about? As if you can control that!”
Wang Dong smirked, “If I had your skills, wouldn’t it be better for me to go it alone?”
“Anyway, I’m not in command.”
Xiao Yu shook his head, “I wonder if this case can even be called a case…?”
“Tsk!”
Wang Dong, wincing, said, “Terrorist elements are criminals—they must be considered a case!”
Even he wasn’t entirely sure.
Since becoming the leader of the second team, his encounters with terrorist elements had been few and far between.
Every time they were rounded up, it wasn’t just National Security; military personnel were involved too.
Police?
They weren’t yet authorized to take part.
Take, for example, this case before us.
When approached by his little brother, Wang Dong had even taken a look at that ‘Bomb with Steel Balls’—nearly scaring himself stiff.
Damn, can you imagine how terrifying it would be if that thing exploded?
Do you really think ordinary cops could handle that?
Stop kidding!
“But…”
Wang Dong shrugged, “I’m not suggesting you take the lead—it’s our Big Boss’s decision.”
Our Big Boss—does he not have any conscience? Xiao Yu’s lips twitched.
Inside, he felt a strange mix of satisfaction from being recognized and an inexplicable dread.
In the end, I was left to shoulder everything on my own!
Suddenly.
A sound came from the bed—a faint cry of anguish.
Broken nose, shattered arms—if waking up didn’t hurt, then I’d be seeing ghosts.
Xiao Yu turned his head and locked eyes with a pair of chilling stares.
Shu Yuzhen lay silently on the bed, her eyes resembling those of a venomous snake, glinting with a vengeful, cold glare aimed at Xiao Yu.
If her gaze could devour, Xiao Yu would already be toast.
“Awake?”
Xiao Yu fixed his gaze and said coldly, “Not planning to say anything?”
Shu Yuzhen’s eyes didn’t even blink; they remained fixed on Xiao Yu.
“Forget it—handle this one yourselves.”
Xiao Yu shook his head and left the ward.
Wang Dong, at a loss for words, gestured as two members of the second team approached.
0… Seeking flowers…
They even brought along a small box.
When the box was opened, it revealed some bone-chilling instruments along with two vials.
One team member glanced at Shu Yuzhen, his eyes glinting with excitement.
His expression was that of a child admiring his favorite toy.
Meanwhile, the other looked at Shu Yuzhen with a tinge of sympathy.
That pity in his eyes had the unsettling look of someone watching a horror film, as if those perverts were laughing at others…
The Security Department had its own expert interrogators.
These two were among them!
That’s enough.
Wang Dong glared at his two subordinates.
After speaking, he left the ward…
……
“Hm?”
Outside the ward, Xiao Yu eyed Wang Dong.
“There’s something I need to say.”
Wang Dong put on a conciliatory smile.
Xiao Yu recalled Da Shu’s arrogant expression and Zhou Xingxing’s despicable grin.
Weren’t you going to do something, old buddy?… Xiao Yu said cautiously, “If you’ve got something to say, say it. Don’t grin like that—I’m getting uneasy.”
“Hehe.”
Wang Dong chuckled, “A relative’s kid wants to become a cop.”
“And then?” Xiao Yu asked, puzzled.
“Isn’t it so they can get him a better mentor?”
Wang Dong explained, “He’s the same age as you—give your old buddy some credit and take him under your wing.”
“…”
Xiao Yu looked at Wang Dong as if he were a simpleton, “Aren’t you a cop yourself? Can’t you handle it?”
“No way.”
Wang Dong sighed, “Sometimes the things I do are better kept out of the sunlight, you know what I mean?”
Xiao Yu sighed in resignation.
People like Wang Dong, because of their line of work, operate in the shadows,
quietly protecting those they must safeguard.
Aren’t you trying to keep that relative’s kid from being exposed to the dark side?
“Fine.”
Without hesitation, Xiao Yu said, “After this case, take me with you.”
“Thanks!”
Wang Dong grinned, “Next time we’re heading to Capital City, I’ll have your sister-in-law cook you a feast. Not to brag, but her cooking is unbeatable!”
“Got it,” Xiao Yu replied with a smile.
An hour later, the two members of the second team emerged…
