"This is fucking delicious..." Xiao He said through gritted teeth after taking a bite of the chicken cutlet.

"Hey, don't swear," Ye Wanqing said, frowning slightly. Xiao He raised his hand, "Sorry, sorry, it's just... I was overwhelmed by the delicious aroma and couldn't help myself..."

Although he was mentally prepared, he really hadn't expected such a big difference.

Ye Wanqing's fried chicken cutlets are completely different from those outside. The texture is incredibly crispy, and the sauce is also unique. It's made with soy sauce, vinegar, scallions, ginger, and garlic, somewhat like the sauce for crab. It's not as strong in flavor but very refreshing and helps cut through the richness.

"Because I used breadcrumbs instead of steamed breadcrumbs when frying, it's crispier," Ye Wanqing explained.

"Ah, I see!" Xiao He suddenly realized, because breadcrumbs contain sugar and milk, so when used to fry chicken, you can taste the aroma of bread, but steamed bun crumbs do not.

If the chicken cutlet isn't marinated well, breadcrumbs can mask some of the chicken's odor, but if the chicken cutlet is marinated well, breadcrumbs can better bring out the chicken's flavor.

"So delicious!" Xiao He exclaimed with his eyes closed, then began to eat heartily.

"Slow down, I'm not going to fight you for it," Ye Wanqing said with a smile, resting her chin on her hand. "These two pieces are yours, I'll eat this one."

Besides the chicken cutlet, there was also candied tomato and smashed cucumber, perfect for cutting through the richness. Every time they ate together, Xiao He felt that living with a girl who was good at cooking was so wonderful, and she was also so cute.

"Old Xiao, I can't eat anymore, you can eat this piece too." Ye Wanqing said, putting the remaining third of her chicken cutlet into his bowl.

"Eat more, you won't get fat," Xiao He reminded him.

"But I'm already full," Ye Wanqing said lazily. "Just eat what I'm told."

"I was just being polite with you," Xiao He said, casually picking up the piece of chicken cutlet that Ye Wanqing had left over, eating half of it in one bite, and then shoveling a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth.

"Hmph..." Ye Wanqing watched him with a smile.

It was only when the two of them were washing the dishes together after dinner that Ye Wanqing started talking to him about Huang Ling.

"I knew she was acting a bit strange, like she was always testing us," Ye Wanqing muttered, handing over the bowl she was holding. "Honestly, you talked to her for so long and didn't you realize she was an undercover agent?"

"I didn't talk to her much either..." Xiao He explained, feeling wronged. "Ever since you got angry after we went out to eat together, I've rarely talked to her about more personal topics. We just have simple discussions about anime and movies."

"Is that so...?" Ye Wanqing felt a warmth in her heart. "Then, you can discuss it with me too."

"Heh heh." Xiao He chuckled dryly, "Shall we discuss domineering CEOs or BL (Boys' Love)?"

Ye Wanqing angrily stomped on his foot. "Don't we both watch the Big Bang Theory?!"

"That's true..." Xiao He shrugged. Ye Wanqing glared at him angrily, then handed him the bowl in her hand. "This is the last one. Go for a walk after you're done washing."

As usual, Xiao He went downstairs for a walk, took a shower, and collected the laundry. With a few hours left before bedtime, Xiao He accompanied Ye Wanqing to watch the second season of "The Big Bang Theory" in the living room.

Perhaps because Huang Ling was no longer the thorn in their side, both of them sounded much more relaxed.

But after watching a few episodes, Cui Man sent a voice message.

Xiao He's heart sank. He answered the phone, "Hello... Sister Man, you're not telling me someone escaped from prison at this time, are you?"

It's about 10:20 PM now. If someone really escaped from prison, he should break that person's legs as a warning to others.

"Don't worry, it's nothing," Cui Man reassured her. "It's just escorting a criminal to the prison. Lin Tiannan 003."

"Oh!" Xiao He suddenly understood and felt somewhat relieved.

The escort mission shouldn't take too long, since the prison is located in Beichang City, and it can be done in an hour or two by helicopter.

Cui Man then added, "Helicopter will be sent to pick you up in a little while. Wanqing doesn't need to come; she can just stay home and edit the information."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao He explained the situation to Ye Wanqing.

"It's so late..." Ye Wanqing seemed a little reluctant.

"You can stay home and watch some shows. I'll be back soon. The prison is in Beichang City; it only takes about twenty minutes by Helicopter to get there and back," Xiao He comforted him.

"Hmm..." Ye Wanqing pouted, "I'm fine. I'm not a child anymore. I'm just home alone."

"That's good." Xiao He said, standing up and patting her head. "Wait here, okay? Sister Man will send you the data that needs to be modified in a bit."

After arriving downstairs and getting into the Special Response Department's vehicle, we quickly arrived at the Helicopter rendezvous point.

"What kind of Superpower does this Mutant possess?" Xiao He asked curiously as he changed his clothes on the Helicopter.

"That's a pretty interesting Superpower," Cui Man said with her legs crossed and chin in hand, "It's called 'King's Pawn'."

Because he was in an 'indestructible' state when he advanced.

"Indestructible?" Xiao He raised an eyebrow. Cui Man nodded. "He is impervious to swords and spears, possesses immense strength, and almost no attack can harm him, yet his attacks are incredibly powerful."

"So how did you catch him?" Xiao He asked, intrigued.

Cui Man covered her mouth and laughed, "Look, that's the interesting part. He can't retreat when he activates his Superpower. But when his Superpower is activated, his front is indestructible and incredibly strong, but his back is only about LV1. It's a bit like Achilles, impervious to blades and spears, but his ankles are his weak point. After Xia Yu enhanced his grasshopper-like characteristics and improved his agility, he quickly circled around behind him and took him down."

"What illegal act did he commit?" Xiao He asked suspiciously.

Cui Man's face darkened. "That person has severe violent tendencies; he's ruthless and unreasonable when it comes to violence. Someone threw a cigarette butt at his feet on the street, and he beat that person into a level two disability. This kind of person is too much of a threat to society; he can't be allowed to stay outside."

"That's a bit too much. Couldn't you just break one leg?" Xiao He frowned. Cui Man pinched his face and said, "Even breaking the leg won't do! At least not in a public place where everyone can see it!"

"Alright, I'll go meet him." Xiao He buttoned up his suit jacket and sat down next to Cui Man.

"This person's original Yue Feng. He is 188 centimeters tall, weighs 88 kilograms, is 36 years old this year, has no family, and works in the property management department of a residential community in Nanhua City as the security captain. His father died early, and his mother remarried when he was 12 years old. He grew up under the care of his grandmother, but his grandmother also passed away when he was 16 years old. After that, he went out into society to make a living on his own." Cui Man gave him a brief report on the information of this Mutant.

Xiao He looked at the photo on the tablet. The man was broad-shouldered and burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He had a full beard and a scar on his chin, which was particularly noticeable because it was covered by his beard. He exuded the fierce aura of a villain.

"Can this kind of person really work in property management? Wouldn't going to their homes to communicate with them scare the residents to tears?" Xiao He wondered to himself.

The Helicopter headed towards the outer ring road of the city. Around the Fourth Ring Road, an SUV was parked in a wide wilderness waiting to pick them up.

After landing, Xiao He saw Xia Yu, who was escorting "Lin Tiannan 003." She jumped up and down happily, waving to them and saying, "Brother Xiao! Sister Man!"

"This kid! He should be called Yinglong during the mission!" Cui Man poked Xia Yu's forehead and complained. Xia Yu smiled mischievously, "Hehe, it's okay, he's been anesthetized and hasn't woken up yet."

Cui Man glared at her, then laughed and patted her head, "Well done, now it's your Brother Xiao's turn."

After Xiao He took over Yue Feng, Xia Yu did not immediately separate from them. Instead, she boarded the Helicopter with them and waited until "Lin Tiannan 003" was escorted to prison before heading back together.

Xiao He glanced at Yue Feng, who was fast asleep in the SUV, and felt a surge of power welling up within him, much stronger than when he faced Jin Shaokang last time.

"This guy seems pretty formidable," Xiao He thought to himself, before lifting Yue Feng up.

Although the man looked like a villain, he didn't have any tattoos.

After settling into the Helicopter, they embarked on their journey to the Beichang Mutant Prison.

After flying for about ten minutes, Yue Feng, who was next to Xiao He, shivered and then woke up.

He didn't resist immediately, but first looked around and noticed Xiao He sitting next to him. His body seemed to tense up. He gritted his teeth and smiled, "Ha, Yinglong personally escorting you... What an honor."

"No, that's fine. Escorting prisoners to jail is my job. Every prisoner is the same, you're not an exception," Xiao He replied lazily. "We're on the Helicopter now, so let's cooperate. It'll be convenient for everyone, okay?"

"OK," Yue Feng said with a smile, unusually honest, but his leg was shaking uncontrollably, and he looked excited.

But Xiao He was preoccupied with watching the play with Ye Wanqing, completely unconcerned that Yue Feng would cause trouble next to him.

Only after the Helicopter landed on the island in the Helicopter and he got off did Yue Feng easily break free of his handcuffs. He then looked at the prison in front of him, frowned, and said, "You call this a prison?"

"It's quite luxurious, isn't it?" Xiao He said, arms crossed. "It should be very comfortable to live here."

"Why don't you stay here?" Yue Feng asked irritably.

"Then I'll beat him into a level two disabled person, and then I'll live here," Xiao He replied.

"That makes sense." Yue Feng said, turning to face Xiao He, then poked his chest. "If you can stop me, I'll stay here."

"It's a deal." Xiao He nodded, beckoning Yue Feng with his finger, indicating that he should go ahead.
