Nemesis of Evil!

"I'm also curious who has the nerve to do something like this, so I need to take her with me. No problem, right?" Zhang Ruoyu asked Director Lei.

"Of course there's no problem. As long as we can catch the true culprit behind this, the Dragon River Security Division will give its full cooperation!" Director Lei said firmly.

"Then thank you, Brother Lei." Zhang Ruoyu nodded.

"What are you saying, Brother Zhang? This is the Dragon River Security Division's duty to begin with. If there's anything you need us to cooperate with later, we'll certainly see it through," Director Lei immediately assured him.

"Alright. If there's a need, I'll have Brother Lin contact you, Brother Lei. I'll be leaving first. Let's have a meal together another day."

With that, Zhang Ruoyu prepared to leave with the family.

Before leaving, Li Xue naturally thanked them profusely again and invited Lin Xuan's family to visit her home in a couple of days.

Director Lei also handed the still-unconscious Teacher Hu over to Zhang Ruoyu.

Director Huang simply grabbed her by the collar and carried her away.

After Duo Duo's family had left, Director Lei looked at Lin Hai. "You've been hiding your talents, Old Lin. Why didn't you tell me earlier that you knew someone like him?"

No matter how slow Lin Hai was, he could not fail to see by now that Zhang Ruoyu's identity was extraordinary. He could only smile bitterly at Director Lei.

"If I said I had no idea who he was, would you believe me, Director?"

"Alright, I'm not trying to pry. I know you have confidentiality rules. Forget it, forget it." Director Lei shook his head with a smile.

"..."

Lin Hai was immediately speechless.

He could naturally tell that Director Lei did not believe him, but the problem was that he genuinely did not know Zhang Ruoyu's identity. All he knew was that he was Duo Duo's father.

Where was he supposed to argue his case?

In the end, under Director Lei's considerate care, Lin Hai and his wife left the Dragon River Security Division with Lin Xuan.

Click—!

As the car door shut, Ye Hongyu, who was sitting in the back seat with Lin Xuan, reached over and grabbed his ear.

"Ow, ow, ow..."

Lin Xuan had not expected his mother to fight so dirty, and he immediately cried out.

"You've gotten bold, haven't you, little Lin Xuan? You've even learned to play the hero and save the beauty, huh?" Ye Hongyu gritted her teeth.

"If I saw Duo Duo was in danger, was I supposed to ignore it?" Lin Xuan said.

"I think our son is right. A person should know what to do and what not to do in life. He truly is my son, Lin Hai's son!" Lin Hai said from the driver's seat.

"Right my ass!" Ye Hongyu snapped. "Is that how you teach your son? Even if he wanted to save someone, he shouldn't have put himself in danger!"

Lin Hai had wanted to argue further, but when he saw the look in his wife's eyes that could have sliced him to pieces, he immediately did not dare say another word.

"I'm fine, aren't I? Mom, don't be angry anymore." Lin Xuan softened, hugging Ye Hongyu's arm. "I won't do that again. Even if I save someone, I promise I won't put myself in danger. Okay?"

"That's more like it."

Only then did Ye Hongyu let him off. She rubbed Lin Xuan's head and said, "Mom doesn't need you to be a hero. I only want you to be safe and sound... But you really did very well this time. Your dad and I are both proud of you."

Lin Xuan chuckled and said nothing more. Ye Hongyu then began talking with Lin Hai about what had happened earlier.

Lin Xuan finally had the chance to check the panel notifications in his mind.

Ever since he had knocked Teacher Hu unconscious in the restroom and successfully reported the case, saving both himself and Duo Duo, he had received the following panel notifications:

"Achievement completed: Successfully prevented a kidnapping"

"Achievement reward: Nemesis of Evil title 1/10"

"Title effect: As a young child, you were inadvertently drawn into an evil kidnapping case. Yet not only did you successfully save yourself, you also saved your companion... While wearing this title, you will receive a 50% all-around boost when preventing criminal incidents!"

"Note: Can be changed, can be advanced"

"A title that can advance?" Lin Xuan could not help feeling somewhat surprised as he looked at the panel notification he had received earlier.

This was the second title he had obtained. The first was the Premature Infant title he had received when he first awakened.

Even now, the Premature Infant title was still in effect.

Other than the Demon Queen Lin Long, who had been completely unaffected from the beginning, and his family members, who had gradually developed resistance to it, Lin Xuan had yet to find anyone else who could remain unaffected by the Premature Infant title's effects.

However, the Nemesis of Evil title he had obtained this time was clearly different from the Premature Infant title. It could actually be advanced.

"So, as long as I prevent ten crimes, I can advance the Nemesis of Evil title to a higher level?"

Looking at the description of the Nemesis of Evil title on the panel, Lin Xuan gradually figured out its specifics.

This title had been activated because he had stopped Teacher Hu from kidnapping Duo Duo, and this case itself counted as one of the ten crimes he needed to prevent.

That meant that as long as he successfully prevented another nine crimes, he could advance this title.

"Although the title effect has a certain requirement and is only useful when I'm preventing a crime, the boost is really substantial."

Lin Xuan could not help inwardly marveling at the title's effect.

What did a 50% all-around boost even mean?

It did not merely mean a 50% increase in strength. From his base attributes to every skill he had mastered, everything could be enhanced!

When all those boosts came together, the resulting effect would definitely not be as simple as one plus one equaling two.

Besides, even if only his base attributes increased by 50%, that would already put him above ordinary adults, given his current attributes!

If that were paired with the skills he had mastered, dealing with ordinary people would be as easy as playing around.

"Looks like I need to find an opportunity to uphold justice?" Considering how the Nemesis of Evil title advanced, Lin Xuan pondered to himself.

But after thinking it over, he ultimately abandoned the idea.

If he was dealing with ordinary unarmed adults, his current strength was indeed enough, especially given how deceptive his appearance was.

But the problem was, how many criminals were actually unarmed?

Teacher Hu was already among the weakest of the weak when it came to criminals.

Lin Xuan still could not figure out where she had gotten the nerve to kidnap Duo Duo under those circumstances.

But since she had fallen into Duo Duo's father's hands, this matter would definitely have an outcome. He would find out sooner or later.

"No matter the reason, her ending is already set. Why bother?" Lin Xuan shook his head.

He was certain that Teacher Hu was just an ordinary person. Otherwise, he could not have knocked her unconscious so easily.

An ordinary person would not get involved in something at this level for no reason.

But to Duo Duo's family, whatever hardships Teacher Hu might have had, she had only one road left: death.

At most, the only difference would be whether her family would be implicated.

"Forget it. As long as it doesn't involve me, it's fine." Lin Xuan quickly stopped thinking about it.

He only hoped Zhang Ruoyu would be capable enough not to give the mastermind any chance to catch their breath, lest he, an innocent little child, get dragged into it.
