After Lin Nan finished the phone call, the police car arrived in less than five minutes.
The officers handling the case weren't from their local police station, but from the West Capital City's detective squad.
Lin Nan was no stranger to the burly man Qin Feng had immobilized.
That day, Shi Yong brought three thugs and kidnapped her up the mountain. This burly guy was one of them.
She and Qin Feng went down the mountain and immediately reported Shi Yong's drug trafficking to the station chief. Of course, she didn't mention the part where Shi Yong tossed her off a cliff.
Falling over two hundred meters off a cliff and still jumping around alive—nobody, not even a ghost, would buy that story.
Since there was no solid evidence, the station chief just had her write a report and then reported it up to the city's detective team.
They didn't have enough manpower at the local station to handle a major case like this.
Lin Nan was holding in a bellyful of frustration, thinking all the way about how to crack the case.
Who would have thought, searching high and low only to walk right into your enemy as soon as you enter the door.
The thug couldn't speak, but the urine soaking his crotch already told everyone just how panicked he was.
Before the detectives arrived, Lin Nan gave the thug a taste of death row. She kicked him right in the balls, and with a muffled squelch, tears started streaming down the thug's face.
After cuffing him, Qin Feng snapped his fingers, and the burly man immediately clutched his crotch, rolling on the floor, howling, "You little bitch, I'm gonna kill you!"
Lin Nan let out a cold laugh, then aimed another kick at his balls.
The thug's eyes almost popped out, letting out a wretched howl as he convulsed on the ground, his face twisted in agony.
Even Qin Feng, watching on the side, felt his own balls clench, thinking he'd better keep a wide berth from this crazy woman in the future. Otherwise, if she got pissed, his own would be shattered.
The detectives soon locked down the scene, took photos for evidence, documented statements, and collected fingerprints.
Station chief Li Ming called Lin Nan over, introducing her to a middle-aged man: "Xiaolin, this is Captain Liu Xiangdong from the detective squad, the one you've always been talking about. You really did a great job this time. Captain Liu said you must be rewarded well!"
Lin Nan smiled, shook hands with Liu Xuedong, and said seriously, "Captain Liu, I don't want any reward. I just want Shi Yong's group arrested as soon as possible. They're even peddling drugs in schools, forcing some girls to sell themselves for drug money. It's just monstrous!"
"You're a very motivated young comrade!"
Liu Xiangdong praised her and nodded. "Honestly, we're investigating this case together with the Anti-Drug Bureau from the Southern Border. The guy you caught just gave us a breakthrough! If you're interested, I'd like to transfer you to the detective squad, put you in charge of the school-related leads. What do you think?"
Lin Nan was so excited she almost cheered out loud. She immediately saluted, "I will obey the organization in all things and guarantee to complete the mission!"
Liu Xiangdong smiled and said, "Good, then hand over your current work today and report to HQ tomorrow!"
"Yes, sir!"
Lin Nan smiled happily and snapped off another sharp salute.
Li Ming patted her on the shoulder and encouraged her, "Xiaolin, I knew I didn't misjudge you. Work hard at city HQ; don't let our precinct down!"
Lin Nan giggled, and after they finished gathering evidence, she sent them off at the door.
The thug was being escorted out by officers, pointing at Qin Feng and screaming, "That guy is a demon! Arrest him, he's a demon!"
Everyone just thought he'd gone mad, so they all frowned and put a black hood over his head.
This was also to prevent news of his arrest from leaking out.
After the house settled down, Lin Nan threw her arms around Qin Feng and planted a big kiss, cheering, "Idiot, did you hear that? I've finally been promoted!"
Qin Feng blushed, overwhelmed by her fragrance, and almost couldn't help but scoop Lin Nan up in his arms.
Lin Xia pouted from the side, protesting, "Sis, you two showing off your love—would you mind the occasion? Could you care about us single dogs here?"
Lin Nan shot her a look, let go of Qin Feng, and hurriedly asked, "Right, what the hell happened here? How did that bad guy find our house?"
Lin Xia grumbled, "You're one to talk. Who the hell knows how he tracked us down? When Brother Qin and I came back, he was already upstairs. Good thing Brother Qin has special abilities—otherwise, your little sis here would be shaking hands with King Yama by now!"
Qin Feng smiled and corrected her, "Not special ability, that's called Daoist Skill."
Lin Nan curled her lip, "Yeah, yeah, I get it. But seriously, you'd better stop showing off your Daoist Skill from now on. If you get exposed, they'll probably cart you off to a research facility as a lab rat!"
Qin Feng chuckled and nodded, "Don't worry, from now on I won't use my Spiritual Power, only True Qi. That way, to outsiders, it'll just look like ordinary martial arts."
"That's the only way!"
Lin Nan still had no clue what he was talking about. She was already worrying about something else, her brow furrowed, "Now those bastards know where we live. This place is no longer safe. We have to find a new spot, fast!"
Lin Xia hugged a pillow, looking totally unconcerned, "Sis, what are you so afraid of? With Brother Qin around, who's gonna hurt us?"
Lin Nan glared, "Oh, so now he's your dear Brother Qin. What's he supposed to do now, just follow you around all day being your bodyguard?"
Lin Xia grinned, "Sis, how did you know what I was thinking! Why don't you have Brother Qin come to school with me? He can be my bodyguard."
Qin Feng just stood by, grinning like an idiot, without offering an opinion.
Lin Nan shot her another look, "Alright, that's enough! Go to bed right now. Tomorrow, you're moving back to the student dorms. I'll look for a place to rent. Until all the bad guys are locked up, nobody comes here!"
Lin Xia pouted at Lin Nan. Just as she was about to head upstairs, she suddenly remembered something and blurted out, "Sis, I almost forgot something! Weren't you teaming up with Brother Qin to develop elixirs? Well, Brother Qin and I already discussed it—I'm his agent from now on. Anything you want, you have to talk to me first!"
As she finished, she winked playfully at Qin Feng, looking all cute and charming.
Qin Feng gave a wry smile and played along, "Yep, that's right. From now on, Miss Lin Xia is in charge of all our cooperation matters."
Lin Nan looked at the two of them bickering, feeling super annoyed—someone who didn't know any better might think they were a couple.
She knew Lin Xia was definitely up to something, but since Qin Feng brought it up too, she had no choice but to agree, "Fine, as long as you two have no problems, I don't care."
"Awesome!"
Lin Xia squealed, gave Qin Feng a big smack on the cheek, then scampered upstairs with a blushing face, "I'm off to bed! You two chat downstairs!"
Lin Nan looked speechlessly at this crazy girl.
For some reason, even though Lin Xia was her blood sister, seeing her being close with Qin Feng still made her feel a pang of jealousy for no reason.
The thought startled her, and she quickly patted her head and sat down on the sofa.
Qin Feng sat down beside her, and seeing her frowning, asked curiously, "What's wrong? Are these bad guys really that tough?"
