Chapter 48 Is it him?
Lin Tian turned his head and just then noticed Chen Yixuan coming out from inside.
"Is the meeting over?" Lin Tian muttered to himself.
"Lin Tian, what are you doing here?" After speaking to a colleague who came out with her, Chen Yixuan walked over to Lin Tian alone.
"Just taking a walk!" Lin Tian replied offhandedly.
"Just walking around?" Chen Yixuan frowned as she sized up Lin Tian, her face stern as she lectured, "What are you doing out so late? Hurry home and stop wandering around all day!"
In Chen Yixuan's view, Lin Tian was just a youngster; seeing him out so late, she naturally felt the need to scold him.
Chen Yixuan treated Lin Tian like a child, but Lin Tian certainly didn't think so, and he was quite unhappy with Chen Yixuan's scolding.
Glancing at Chen Yixuan with a bit of annoyance, Lin Tian retorted, "Who are you, my mother?"
"You!" Annoyed by Lin Tian's dismissive attitude, Chen Yixuan frowned and waited for Lin Tian's response, "What, itching for a fight again, want to go back in?"
"Pfft!" Lin Tian sneered, but didn't say anything as he was genuinely afraid of Chen Yixuan's fury—in case she would report his daytime fight to his own mother.
Seeing Lin Tian back down, Chen Yixuan nodded in satisfaction, then waved him off casually, "Get home quickly, and don't roam around aimlessly!"
"I wasn't roaming aimlessly!" Lin Tian grumbled.
"Then what were you doing?" Chen Yixuan glanced at Lin Tian.
"I was helping you catch criminals, didn't I tell you during the day?" Lin Tian said as if it were obvious.
Hearing Lin Tian's words, Chen Yixuan was speechless. She looked him up and down, half-smiling as she said, "Please, just stay where you're cool, okay? Go home!"
Having said that, Chen Yixuan shook her head, no longer bothering with Lin Tian, and turned to leave.
Seeing Chen Yixuan turning away, Lin Tian spoke up, "What if I can help you?"
Chen Yixuan stopped, turned and looked Lin Tian up and down, "You? Yeah right!"
"Don't believe me?"
Chen Yixuan glared.
Shock!
Astonishment!
Chen Yixuan was stunned.
Lin Tian's speed was too fast; he suddenly moved closer, suddenly spoke, and even more suddenly, he made a grab.
The whole process took only a few seconds!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
By the time Chen Yixuan realized what had happened, Lin Tian had already finished everything.
After a stunned second, Chen Yixuan glared angrily, her face flushing with rage.
But at that moment, Lin Tian suddenly chuckled, turning and quickly moving away before Chen Yixuan could explode in anger.
Lin Tian was very fast, almost in the blink of an eye he was out of Chen Yixuan's sight.
Watching Lin Tian sprint away, Chen Yixuan's face turned from pale to flush, her heavy breathing clearly indicating her extreme fury!
Teasing!
She had actually been teased by this boy!
Rage!
Chen Yixuan felt a flush of anger and embarrassment!
"Don't let me catch you!" Chen Yixuan glared fiercely at the quickly disappearing figure of Lin Tian.
"Ha ha..."
Lin Tian chuckled to himself as he quickly made his escape.
"Acting all high and mighty, the boss won't teach you who's boss unless she has to!"
Lin Tian thought somewhat smugly.
Chen Yixuan's lecturing attitude earlier had irritated Lin Tian, prompting his earlier actions.
After running a distance and ensuring that Chen Yixuan wouldn't chase after him, Lin Tian finally stopped, hailed a taxi, and prepared to head home.
At half past eleven the next evening, Lin Tian arrived in the old town sector of the eastern part of the city.
He had come here based on the discussion at the police meeting yesterday.
Thinking of this, Lin Tian looked towards a fruit shop not far away.
In that fruit shop, two men were casually browsing.
Upon close observation, one could see that both men were wearing a Bluetooth headset in their ears.
Plainclothes!
Lin Tian naturally recognized these two; he had seen them at the meeting yesterday.
Lin Tian glanced briefly, then his gaze shifted towards a narrow alley on the other side.
Lin Tian smacked his lips and muttered, "Chen Yixuan does look quite feminine!"
Saying this, Lin Tian chuckled and followed.
At this moment, Lin Tian was invisible, not seen by anyone around.
The reason why Chen Yixuan was dressed like this was naturally as a decoy.
Following yesterday's police discussion, they thought of a less-than-ideal solution, which was to use a girl as bait.
Initially, there was a proposal for a man to dress as a woman. But since it had been tried before and did not work, they decided to use a real girl this time.
And it was Chen Yixuan who had volunteered to be the bait.
At half past eleven at night, the old district was quite dark, especially since the area was underdeveloped and many places were very shadowy. Some spots even lacked street lights, not to mention cameras.
Now Chen Yixuan was walking down a dark alley completely devoid of street lights and cameras.
The entire alley appeared quite sinister. Normally, at night, unless there was an emergency, girls would not choose this route.
Of course, Lin Tian knew that if anything were to happen, the police hiding nearby would swarm over in just a dozen seconds.
Lin Tian followed slowly, still unseen.
Actually, Lin Tian was doubtful about whether the criminal would be foolish enough to show up, wondering if this method was really viable.
Of course, this thought just circled in Lin Tian's mind and then vanished.
The police were not fools; surely, they had proposed this ambush because they saw some practicality in it. As for the specific reasons, Lin Tian didn't wish to delve deeper; he didn't want to waste his brain cells, all he had to do was follow behind the police and then make his move when necessary.
