Bearded Man was Qiu Shufeng!
In fact, he had practiced martial arts since childhood and possessed genuine skill. Although he had no Internal Energy or anything like that, with his build and years of training, dealing with three or five bare-handed men was no problem at all, let alone...
A pretty boy?!
That was right. In Qiu Shufeng's eyes, someone who looked so frail, with barely two ounces of flesh on his body and skin even fairer than a girl's... If he wasn't a pretty boy, what was he?!
He had even already imagined the miserable sight of several of the other man's bones breaking the instant they came into contact!
"Die!!!"
As the two sides met, Qiu Shufeng laughed wildly inside.
However...
Qiu Shufeng stopped dead.
He was dumbfounded!
He had charged over with all his strength. Even a three-hundred-pound man would have been knocked flying by him in an instant, but now...
He had actually stopped?! And the pretty boy before him hadn't taken a single step back?!!!
Terror!!!
At this moment, Qiu Shufeng was utterly terrified.
He turned his head and saw that the pretty boy's "tender hand" was resting on his shoulder, as if it had merely been placed there lightly. Yet it possessed terrifying strength, pressing him firmly into place!!!
"This..."
Qiu Shufeng was completely dumbstruck.
Wu Guodong and the other police officers rushing over were also utterly bewildered...
"What's going on?!"
From their angle, they couldn't see all that clearly. They could only see the Bearded Man charging forward fiercely, yet the instant he reached the edge of the woods and came into contact with Lin Fan, he stopped.
"Could it be..."
Wu Guodong's heart leaped violently. "Quick, catch up!"
"I told you, you can't leave."
Qi Zixiao spoke...
Qiu Shufeng gradually came to his senses. Although he was still somewhat terrified, he absolutely refused to surrender meekly. He actually pulled a dagger from the small of his back...
However...
He had clearly underestimated just how strong the "pretty boy" before him was.
Before the dagger in his hand could even be thrust forward, the "pretty boy" had already grabbed him by the shoulder and "lifted" him up...
Then, like throwing a rag doll, he slammed him violently into the ground!
Boom!!!
The ground trembled. The not-so-hard soil instantly formed a human-shaped crater, and half of Qiu Shufeng's body lay inside it...
Not only that, but from this single blow, Qiu Shufeng felt as though his entire body had fallen apart. The pain was unbearable, and he couldn't move at all...
At this moment, Qiu Shufeng was utterly dumbstruck.
Only three questions remained in his mind.
Who am I, where am I, and what am I supposed to do?!
Wu Guodong and the other police officers, as well as the workers watching the spectacle, were all completely bewildered...
What had they just seen?!
A sturdy man weighing nearly two hundred pounds had actually... been lifted just like that???
Lifted by the shoulder with one hand by a "pretty boy," then viciously smashed into the ground?!
Did you think you were the Hulk?!
Even if you really were the Hulk, your build wasn't right for it!
Everyone was dumbfounded. Fortunately, the police officers didn't remain frozen for long. They rushed forward and handcuffed the already immobile "Bearded Man."
Then Wu Guodong yanked off the man's fake beard, finally revealing Qiu Shufeng's face...
"It's him!!!"
"Qiu Shufeng! That bastard actually infiltrated our midst?!"
"What is this, a movie? 'The most dangerous place is the safest place,' and we really didn't notice him before?!"
The police officers were shocked and furious, still shaken with fear.
This man was far too terrifying.
Not only was his individual combat strength formidable, he was also vicious and bloodthirsty. That alone would have been bad enough, but he wasn't stupid either, and he even possessed counter-surveillance awareness...
This time, he had been lurking right beside them, and they still hadn't noticed...
"No one could have noticed."
Wu Guodong's face was grim, and he felt terrible as well. "Who could have imagined that he would swagger right into our midst and even help us police officers with our work?!"
After saying this, he couldn't help glancing at Lin Fan twice more...
Judging from Qiu Shufeng's performance, this man truly lived up to his status as a top-level wanted criminal. But what about Lin Fan?!
Without anyone noticing anything, he had accurately pointed out that this man was Qiu Shufeng, and then... he had even instantly taken Qiu Shufeng down!!!
So what on earth was going on here?!
At this moment, the police officer examining Qiu Shufeng's condition stood up.
"How is he?"
Wu Guodong asked.
The officer stammered for a while before saying, "Team Leader Wu, I'm not a professional, so I can't say for sure. But it looks like... he might be completely paralyzed, from the neck down."
Wu Guodong: "..."
The other police officers: "..."
Was he really that powerful?!
Everyone stared at "Lin Fan" as if they had seen a ghost.
Was this guy really not a Wandering Spirit?
If he wasn't a Wandering Spirit, it was truly difficult to explain!
They all had Qiu Shufeng's records and knew that he had practiced martial arts since childhood. Besides, with a physique like his... in ancient times, that was the standard build for a Great General. His ability to withstand blows had to be extremely strong.
Yet Lin Fan had sent him straight into paralysis with a single move?
So what kind of freak was this guy?!
"You..."
Wu Guodong opened his mouth. He had wanted to ask something, but when the words reached his lips, he changed them to, "Are you all right?"
"Nothing to worry about."
Qi Zixiao gently shook her head. "This man is the wanted criminal, right? If so, pay me..."
She took out her phone and searched around before finally finding her payment QR code. She showed it to Wu Guodong and added, "Oh, right. Get me another box of food. Deduct the cost from the reward."
"This man ran the moment he got ashore. I didn't get enough to eat."
Qi Zixiao emphasized this point.
Everyone: "(ΩДΩ)..."
What was going on? How could she be this calm?
She had captured a wanted criminal with "two digits'" worth of lives on his hands, and had even crippled him outright. Yet when she opened her mouth, the first thing she asked for was the reward, followed by saying she hadn't eaten her fill...
Who exactly were you?!
A legendary bounty hunter?
Since when did our country have a profession like that?
The police officers complained inwardly one after another...
At the same time, they found it unbelievable.
Everyone looked toward Wu Guodong. What were they supposed to do?
Among those present, only their own Team Leader Wu and the young man who was "just like a Wandering Spirit" seemed able to speak with her, right?
Wu Guodong's expression was strange as well...
He truly hadn't expected things to end this way, but Old Wu was a man who kept his word. Besides, capturing Qiu Shufeng was fantastic news!
"I'll pay!"
Wu Guodong immediately took out his phone, scanned the code, and paid fifty thousand without a second word...
"That's it?"
Qi Zixiao had never received a payment before, but seeing the notification on her phone, she more or less understood that it had gone through. She couldn't help marveling at the strangeness of this world...
Money was equivalent to the gold and silver of their world, yet here, a transaction could be completed with a simple scan of a phone. It was truly convenient~!
"Oh, right. What about the cost of the food?"
She raised her brows when she saw that it was exactly fifty thousand. That wasn't right.
After all...
That man had said that you had to pay for anything you ate~
