Chapter 124: You Are Slandering Me!

That familiar figure was none other than Fang Siqi, the female police officer who had crossed paths with Jiang Yun a few times before.

The moment Jiang Yun saw Fang Siqi, he instinctively glanced around.

What’s going on? Another fugitive?

Wherever I go, fugitives just show up?

But then he quickly realized it probably wasn’t a fugitive.

Because Fang Siqi was in uniform.

And beside her was another male police officer, also in uniform.

It looked like a routine police response.

Since the noise at the door wasn’t too loud, Jiang Yun wanted to walk over and take a closer look, just to see what was happening.

But as he stood up, he suddenly noticed the wound on his arm.

He recalled the last time he watched Fang Siqi handle a commotion...

Forget it, better not get involved this time to avoid ending up at the police station again.

With that thought, Jiang Yun sat back down, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and prepared to eat.

Just as his mouth was about to touch the noodles, a wave of unease surged within him.

His right eyelid twitched a few times.

Hmm?

They say when your left eye twitches, it’s a sign of wealth; the right eye twitching... pure superstition!

Still, whether joking or serious, people here are sensitive to twitches in either eye.

Jiang Yun put down his chopsticks and glanced around again.

Nothing seemed wrong!

Besides, there were two police officers guarding the entrance.

Thinking this, Jiang Yun picked up another bite of noodles.

But just as he was about to eat, that uneasy feeling returned.

This time his right eyelid twitched more violently.

Huh?

Jiang Yun looked around in confusion once more, finally focusing his gaze on the noodles.

Could it be the noodles?

He picked up a bite and brought it close to his mouth.

Sure enough, the familiar unease returned, and his right eyelid twitched again.

When he put down the chopsticks, the unease vanished and the twitch stopped.

Pick up... right eyelid twitches!

Put down... right eyelid stops twitching.

Pick up... right eyelid twitches!

Put down...

After several repetitions, Jiang Yun found it rather amusing!

Like a child discovering a new toy, he began to tease his right eyelid.

Only after the novelty faded a little did Jiang Yun seriously ponder the cause of the twitch.

He had experienced something similar before; usually, when his right eyelid twitched, something bad was about to happen.

But in the past, the twitch was vague enough that he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was coming, so he couldn’t avoid it.

Unlike today, when his right eyelid seemed to be telling him directly that there was something wrong with the noodles.

This made Jiang Yun think of today’s reward.

“Enhanced extrasensory perception magnetic field!”

Thanks to the noodle incident, Jiang Yun had gained some concrete understanding of this reward.

But he still had one question to clarify.

He needed to know just how dangerous these noodles were to him—was it a major threat or a minor one?

For example, if they were just too salty or oily and bad for his health.

If the danger was of that mild degree, the body would naturally warn him, but that would almost be beyond normal human capacity.

That would make him a superhuman!

From now on, he could avoid all dangers and always stay in an absolutely safe environment!

But if it was a serious danger... Damn, what big danger could a bowl of noodles possibly have? Did they put paraquat in it?

At this moment, Jiang Yun leaned toward thinking the danger was very minor.

After all, what man wouldn’t want to gain some so-called superpowers? To become extraordinary?

If one enhancement of extrasensory perception gave him such a terrifying ability to foresee danger, then with a few more, he could become a real-life superhero!

Unfortunately, just as this pleasant thought emerged, someone outside interrupted.

“Officer, believe me, his noodles are definitely suspicious! I’ve eaten noodles for many years, and I’ve never seen noodles as delicious as his. If I don’t eat them for a day, I keep thinking about them—they’re delicious in a way that’s not right!”

Perhaps the police hadn’t taken him seriously before, but this time the man’s tone was much louder, clear enough for Jiang Yun sitting at the back of the shop to hear distinctly.

Everyone else inside the shop also heard the man’s words.

Many customers paused their eating, looking at the man at the door with puzzled expressions.

The man pointed excitedly at the shop owner, repeatedly emphasizing: “Really, officer, you have to believe me! His noodles are definitely not normal!”

The shop owner looked at him helplessly: “Buddy, our noodle shop has been open for nearly twenty years, and it’s always tasted like this. Many customers have been eating here for years with no problems. And isn’t it a good thing that the taste is good? How does that become my problem? If I weren’t skilled, do you think I could run a shop?”

The owner’s words earned agreement from many customers inside.

“I’ve been eating here for over a year, and I haven’t had any problems. Their noodles are just delicious, isn’t that normal?”

“If it wasn’t good, they’d be out of business long ago. What you’re saying is strange.”

“If a shop’s food isn’t tasty, why would they even open one?”

“Have you never tasted good food before? Why get so worked up, man?”

“......”

The customers all chimed in to defend the owner, which made Fang Siqi look at the man with some helplessness.

“He’s right—if the food wasn’t good, the shop wouldn’t be open. You’re just overthinking.”

Seeing Fang Siqi didn’t believe him, the man grew even more agitated.

“Really, officers, you have to trust me! His food is suspiciously delicious!”

Jiang Yun, who had been watching the scene unfold, furrowed his brow.

If this were before, he might have just watched for amusement.

But now... he glanced at the noodles before him, then got up and walked to the door.

Seeing Jiang Yun, Fang Siqi looked at him with surprise.

“You just won’t quit following me, huh?”

Jiang Yun: ......

“Sis, I should be the one asking you that. How come you follow me everywhere? Is your police jurisdiction really that vast?”

Fang Siqi expressionlessly pointed to the side: “Walk over that way. Less than two hundred meters is Chunxi Road. Which police station do you think manages this area?”

Jiang Yun: .......

Damn, I hadn’t realized—this is near Chunxi Road.

“Anyway, about this shop...”

Jiang Yun was about to suggest an inspection because he felt something was off.

But before he finished, Fang Siqi cut him off.

She looked at her colleague beside her: “Better check it out. Every time I deal with this guy, it’s a criminal case right from the start. If luck’s on my side, I might even get a collective second-class merit.”

Jiang Yun: .......

What the hell! What kind of thing is that to say? I’m calling my lawyer!

You’re slandering me!
