Chapter 79: Mysteries Beneath Victory Square

Chapter 79: Male to Female, Chest Turns Into a Bird

Victory Square isn’t really a square—it’s an underground mall.

Spanning four enormous levels, the mega-market offers shopping, leisure, entertainment, and dining. Once hailed as a youth’s shopping paradise, it remains one of fashionable Bincheng’s most dazzling city landmarks…

“Inside, countless passages lead to over 50 exits. Completely sealing it off is nearly impossible.”

At the entrance of Victory Square, Xiao Yu—a true Bincheng local who knew every corner—explained the mall’s layout to Wang Dong.

Catching someone here is like searching for a needle in an ocean of haystacks.

Hide in the tiniest nook and cranny, and you might remain undiscovered all day.

But at the hospital, Xiao Yu activated ‘Wangdie’s Nose’.

As long as a suspect is inside this mall, there’s no way they can escape Xiao Yu’s notice.

“Don’t worry.”

Wang Dong scoffed, “Bincheng’s police are on the way, the Armed Police are mobilized, and the Tianyan Surveillance Camera has locked down every exit. How can he possibly get away?”

A wry smirk tugged at Xiao Yu’s lips. “Aren’t you afraid your bragging will come back to bite you? If you can’t catch anyone, won’t it tarnish your National Security credentials?”

I used to think the same—feeling untouchable.

Ever since I got the system, I’ve never dared to boast again.

Because you never know just how terrifying this world can be!

Still, Xiao Yu was lucky, and so was National Security.

After a swarm of police and Armed Police arrived, the Tianyan Surveillance Camera outside the 50-plus exits of Victory Square failed to capture even one of the 220 suspects.

Immediately, waves of Armed Police moved in, guarding each exit as they conducted their sweep.

Just as Xiao Yu was about to step into the square, he halted.

He suddenly looked up at the sky.

At first glance, the sky appeared empty.

But as Xiao Yu’s vision sharpened, the world transformed.

High above, he spotted a little bird—a great tit!

Through the lens of ‘Falcon’s Eye’, he clearly saw a tiny camera affixed to the bird’s neck.

Observing the bird’s flight pattern, its sudden dives, and the camera’s angle, it seemed to be fixed right on their position.

“Is it watching our every move?”

Xiao Yu’s face grew cold.

That maneuver was audacious—way too much!

“What are you staring at?” Wang Dong frowned.

“There’s a bird up there,” Xiao Yu sneered.

Wang Dong: …

Though his IQ wasn’t on par with Xiao Yu’s, he wasn’t clueless either.

Wang Dong muttered, “Quite crafty.”

“What use is that?”

Xiao Yu turned and strode toward the underground mall. “It only proves the spy is down there!”

Wang Dong was taken aback. “Is that little brat getting riled up?”

Indeed.

Just one bird trying to monitor us—what an insult!

Damn it, who does it think it’s fooling… Wang Dong’s temper flared.

His earlier smile vanished, replaced by a grim, fierce expression as he followed Xiao Yu underground.

You little brat, you’re as good as dead!

……

Underground, on one level.

A young man in a baseball cap set his phone down, his face shifting from grim to a hint of surprise.

Is that guy a cop?

Had he just looked up and spotted the tit?

No—there’s no way.

Without full focus, no human could spot it; it must be a fluke!

Either way, the young man knew he had to escape immediately.

With a cold smile, he stepped into a… womenswear shop!

Thirty minutes later, a trendy, internet-famous woman emerged.

The bizarre part was,

when she entered, she stood 180 cm tall.

But when she came out, she was only 170 cm.

A full ten centimeters shorter!

From man to woman, from tall to short—as by magic.

She smirked confidently, a mocking curl playing on her lips.

A cop?

Ha!

Just as her smile appeared, she spotted a handsome young man steadily approaching from a distance.

Her eyelids flickered, her pupils shifting continuously, yet her expression remained composed.

That cop?

Calmly, she walked toward the handsome newcomer.

Isn’t it the ultimate taunt—me walking past you while you don’t even know who I am?

Hehe!

The man and woman gradually closed the gap between them.

Moments before they would brush past one another, the woman lifted her lips in a sly smile.

Suddenly,

the handsome man, maintaining a steady gaze, rolled his eyes, turned his head, and grinned, “Hey beautiful, are you out here taking a dump?”

The woman stopped dead in her tracks, her body trembling as she slowly turned, wide-eyed in shock.

Xiao Yu’s face seemed to be smirking even as it dripped with sarcasm.

A flicker of uncertainty danced in his eyes.

Was ‘Wangdie’s Nose’ malfunctioning?

How could she carry the suspect’s scent?

Her height and physique didn’t add up.

A man in drag simply wasn’t feasible.

Where did the discrepancy lie?

“Are you talking to me?”

The woman answered coolly, “I don’t think we know each other.”

Xiao Yu’s expression turned strange.

“Woman?”

Her voice, tone, and accent were undeniably authentic.

And the scent she carried couldn’t possibly be faked.

Could the system be erring?

“Let me think this over.”

His mind raced as Xiao Yu calmly scrutinized her, noting, “Even though your height seems off, it can be altered… Could those be elevator shoes? From 1.80 to 1.70—a ten centimeter drop. So your real height was 1.70?”

The woman’s expression remained unreadable, though a flash of panic gleamed in her eyes.

“Now, about your figure.”

Xiao Yu smirked, “That makes it even clearer—it’s just a change of outfit. Men’s clothes are naturally looser than women’s, rarely hugging the body. A sudden change in attire would expose a huge difference, wouldn’t it?”

“Are you out of your mind? Insane?”

The woman’s expression turned icy as she spun to leave.

“One more thing.”

Watching her retreat, Xiao Yu coldly laughed, “You can disguise yourself completely—with a hat, sunglasses, a mask—but you forgot one thing: your ears remain exposed. Ever wonder why ID photos hide the ears? Because no matter how much the face changes, the ears rarely do!”

The woman halted.

Not by choice—at that moment, both cops and National Security agents had appeared before her.

Wang Dong’s face registered shock and disbelief as he glanced between the woman and Xiao Yu.

“And most importantly…”

Xiao Yu continued his icy stare, “When you were dressed as a man, your chest was flat, proving you never had much. Even in women’s clothes, you can’t suddenly transform into having D-cups. It only suggests you’re hiding something inside. What could it be? Could there be a few birds waiting to fly out?”

The woman’s face turned deathly pale, devoid of color.

“If it weren’t for how stunned you all look, I’d say you haven’t a shred of shame or conscience.”

Xiao Yu sneered, “By the way, have you decided how you’re going to die?”

The woman trembled violently, her body nearly collapsing as terror robbed her of all control over her expressions…
