"I have to find a way to interrupt him. Otherwise, once he fully unleashes his ability, I'll be completely forced onto the defensive, and today's arrest operation will end in failure."

Liu Jialin was frantic, but she was alone at the moment and tightly entangled with the Bearded Man, leaving her no way to split her attention. She had no time to spare for anything else and could only watch helplessly as Wang Longshan's ability was about to activate.

The two criminals wore smug, victorious smiles. It was as if they could already see themselves making a successful escape, their eyes filled with arrogance and disdain.

At that critical moment, when life and death hung by a thread, a clear voice suddenly rang out in front of the wall not far away.

"Liu Jialin, you're already this badly cornered. Didn't you know to call me for help?"

The voice was like a thunderclap, shattering the tense, oppressive atmosphere in the small courtyard.

All three people present heard it. Their movements instantly froze, and then they turned toward the sound.

Soon, they saw a young man standing quietly in front of the wall.

The young man's expression was calm, but a faint helplessness showed on his face.

"Lin Li." The instant Liu Jialin saw Lin Li, a flicker of surprise and excitement crossed her normally stern face, and she could not help shouting his name.

Just moments ago, she had been racking her brains, trying to figure out how to break the deadlock after Wang Longshan activated his ability. Now that Lin Li had appeared, he gave her a glimmer of hope, and the situation suddenly seemed capable of turning around.

"So what if there's one more person? My ability has already been activated. The two of you can die together!"
