Chapter 136: You Are in Big Trouble!

The two acquaintances Jiang Yun spotted were none other than Fang Siqi and her colleague—the same male officer who had complimented Jiang Yun’s physique back when they were apprehending a pyramid scheme gang on Chunxi Road.

The two were standing not far ahead, chatting and laughing, seemingly in high spirits. If it had been any other officer, Jiang Yun might not have dared to let his fan go over to court death for a joke. But with Fang Siqi... well, it wasn't strictly out of the question. After all, they were quite familiar with each other; a little prank shouldn't be a problem.

With that in mind, Jiang Yun pointed toward Fang Siqi and said to his male fan, "It’s those two. Go get 'em, Pikachu!"

Hearing this, the fan followed the direction of Jiang Yun’s finger. He nodded, "Alright, Brother Yun, get your ten thousand ready!"

With that, the fan marched toward Fang Siqi.

Jiang Yun, witnessing this, thought, "Wait, what?"

"Seriously? This guy didn't even hesitate? Doesn't he know Fang Siqi is a police officer?"

Although Jiang Yun hadn't revealed Fang Siqi's face during his previous livestream, he had featured her in the video he posted yesterday. In particular, her line, "Any encounter with him is a criminal case from the get-go," had cracked up countless netizens. And yet, this guy looked at her as if he had no idea who she was... Was he really a die-hard fan? Jiang Yun began to doubt the authenticity of his "true fan" status.

He wasn't the only one; the audience in the livestream expressed the same confusion.

"Are you serious? You dare to hit on a cop?"
"This kid is ruthless, going after Officer Fang like that."
"Is he really a fan? How could he not recognize Officer Fang?"
"He's a madman. Knowing she's a cop and still trying to poach her? You've got guts!"
"Actually, think about it: if you try to poach a cop, the chances of getting beaten up might be lower..."

At this point, the fan had reached the pair. He first nodded politely at the male officer, then turned to Fang Siqi and asked, "Hello, would you mind if I added you on WeChat?"

Fang Siqi tilted her head, question marks practically overflowing from her eyes. "Wait, can you not see the person standing right next to me?"

The male officer beside her stared at the fan, completely bewildered. Seeing the fan’s earnest expression, the officer couldn't help but say, "Brother, I was here first. I’m currently pursuing her, so could you stop ignoring me?"

"I know you were here first," the fan nodded. "But you aren't boyfriend and girlfriend yet, are you? And even if you were, what’s the problem with me asking for contact information? Is there any law stating I can't ask for a girlfriend's contact details?"

Listening to this outrageous statement, Fang Siqi felt a strange sense of familiarity. She couldn't pinpoint where it came from, but it was... very familiar. Subconsciously, she scanned her surroundings. Soon, her gaze locked onto a man not far away. Even though he had his back to her, she recognized him instantly.

"Jiang Yun!" she called out.

Jiang Yun, who was watching the drama unfold through his drone’s feed, was stunned when he heard her call his name. *What? Even with my back turned, you recognized me?* He tried to play it cool, taking a few steps away and pretending he hadn't heard.

"Don't pretend, I recognize your drone!"

Jiang Yun: "..." He stared at the drone hovering beside him. *Good grief, so this thing gave me away.*

Resigned, Jiang Yun turned around, walked over to them, and feigned ignorance. "Oh, what a coincidence! Are you two out shopping too?"

Fang Siqi looked at his performance expressionlessly. "You know this guy, don't you?"

Jiang Yun glanced at the fan. "Know him? I have no idea who he is!" He tried to change the subject, turning to the male officer. "Long time no see, Officer. I heard it’s not easy for you guys to get time off. It’s quite a stroke of luck to run into you both on the same day."

"You know it’s hard for us to get time off, yet you still annoy me. You did this on purpose, didn't you?" Fang Siqi glared at him. Everyone knew that Jiang Yun bore a significant amount of responsibility for how busy their station had been lately.

Jiang Yun muttered, "I was just joking with you. Besides, you couldn't beat me anyway."

"Hey!" Fang Siqi arched her brows. "I think you must have forgotten your crutches at home today, and some virus has occupied your brain. Are you provoking me?"

"Alright, alright, my bad, I apologize. I shouldn't have sent him over to tease you, okay?" Jiang Yun raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

Seeing this, Fang Siqi stopped scolding him and turned to the fan. "Stop acting like a fool with him. If you can't beat him, you certainly can't beat me. Be careful you don't end up in the hospital."

With that, she prepared to leave. But the fan suddenly asked Jiang Yun, "Brother Yun, do you know her? Why did she say you had a problem with your legs and didn't bring your crutches?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yun responded instinctively, "She’s the police officer from before, don't you know her? And the 'crutches' comment is a reference to that sketch..." He stopped mid-sentence, suddenly realizing something. He looked at the fan with a puzzled expression. "You don't know what crutches she’s talking about?"

The fan seemed uncomfortable under Jiang Yun’s gaze. He looked away and said with a smile, "Uh, I'm not local. I'm from the Northeast, so I’m not familiar with the local jokes here. Is there a problem?"

Jiang Yun: "???" *Brother, I don't know if I have a problem, but you definitely have a big one.*

"You're from the Northeast?" Jiang Yun’s expression was indescribably strange.

The fan noticed the odd look but nodded. "Yeah, I'm from the Northeast."

"You're from the Northeast and you don't know 'The Crutch'?" This time, it wasn't Jiang Yun asking, but Fang Siqi. She and the male officer had circled back and were now standing behind the fan. Together with Jiang Yun, the three of them had effectively surrounded him.

Their expressions were just as strange as Jiang Yun's. If he were a Southerner or very young, it would be normal not to know the reference. But a man in his twenties from the Northeast not knowing such a classic cultural touchstone? That was a major red flag.

The audience in the livestream also sensed that something was wrong.

"You're a Northerner and you don't know the most famous Spring Festival Gala sketch?"
"Hardly anyone doesn't know this reference."
"The only people I know who don't get this are some very young Southerners, but even most of them know it."
"I thought it was weird that he didn't recognize Officer Fang earlier, but now it looks like you've got some serious explaining to do!"
"It’s hard to imagine a Northeasterner saying they don't know 'The Crutch'."
