Chapter 162: Naizi Zhenda!

"What about those two who lost their guns?" Jiang Wen asked, getting straight to the point that concerned him the most.

"Those two can be considered lucky in the midst of misfortune. Wang Ergou and his accomplice committed their other crimes before snatching the guns. You caught them before they could commit any new crimes after losing the weapons, so they won't face additional charges. Still, their lives as officers are pretty much ruined—no hope for promotion, a disciplinary record on their backs, and they'll definitely be used as negative role models every single year. Whenever anything good is going around, they'll be left out; whenever something bad happens, they'll be the first ones blamed. Of course, the exact final verdict still depends on the orders from above."

"What if Wang Ergou and the others had committed crimes after snatching the guns?"

"Whatever sentence Wang Ergou and his gang get, those two gun-losers would get as well."

Holy crap!

Hearing this outcome, Jiang Yun was genuinely startled.

He knew that losing service weapons carried severe consequences, but he had no idea it could be this bad.

"Doesn't that mean they basically owe me their lives and should kowtow to me in gratitude?"

"They're already on their way; they probably arrived by now, and you'll get to see them tomorrow. But you were seriously lucky. Those were two fully loaded magazines—a dozen-plus bullets could have sent you straight to the afterlife in an instant."

Jiang Yun: .........

Recalling the feel of those two firearms when he first touched them, Jiang Yun felt a lingering wave of terror wash over him.

If those two criminals had been just a little bolder and drawn their guns immediately, no matter how good Jiang Yun was at fighting, he would have met his end right there on the spot.

Beyond seven paces, the gun is fast.

Within seven paces, the gun is both fast and lethal!

Not to mention two fully loaded handguns.

They could have easily turned Jiang Yun into a sieve.

"By the way, yesterday's video has been edited and is ready to be published. Our official account has invited you for a co-creation post, so make sure to accept it."

"Got it, I know."

"Also, when are you heading back to Chengdu?"

"Probably tomorrow? Why do you ask?"

"Let me know when you leave, I'll come pick you up."

Jiang Yun: ???????

"Are we really that close now? Besides, I'm driving back, what are you picking me up for?"

"Nothing much, just that I'm coming up on my seniority review and I'm a bit short on official merits."

Jiang Yun: ..........

You son of a bitch!

You really think of me as the turtle in a wishing well, don't you?

Jiang Yun curled his lips in speechless exasperation.

Then, a sudden thought struck him.

Wasn't today's sequence of events just a little too coincidental?

He had spent over a dozen hours in the car without a single issue, only to wander around and get lost with Tuntun the moment he stepped out, running right into the wanted fugitive that Fang Siqi had mentioned earlier.

Did that make any sense at all?

Jiang Yun opened his personal interface without hesitation.

Sure enough...

[System Live-Stream Magnetic Field Enhancement: Active]

When on earth did this thing get turned on?!

Jiang Yun couldn't help but palm his forehead. It seemed that after getting drunk yesterday, he had done plenty of things he couldn't remember. He definitely couldn't drink like that again next time.

He initially wanted to turn it off, but on second thought, since Xiao-Dai wasn't in Chongqing, he didn't have to worry about getting into a car accident, so Jiang Yun simply left it running.

Opening Douyin, Jiang Yun saw the co-creation invitation sent by the official Chengdu police account. After accepting it, he put on a sleep-aid video and went to rest.

............

The next day, Jiang Yun changed into the clothes that had been laundered and dried by the hotel staff.

As soon as he stepped out of his room, he ran into Tuntun coming out of the room next door.

Unlike her outfit from the day before, today Tuntun was wearing a simple t-shirt, jeans, and a pair of white sneakers.

She also wore a light, understated layer of makeup, making her look considerably more plain than yesterday.

Seeing Tuntun dressed like this, Jiang Yun couldn't help but freeze for a second.

It wasn't because he was dazzled by her outfit, but rather...

"Where the hell did you get these clothes and cosmetics?"

Both he and Tuntun had been brought over by designated drivers after getting completely drunk, carrying nothing with them. How on earth did this girl pull out a brand-new set of gear?

The crucial part was that a single glance showed these weren't brand-new clothes; they still carried faint traces of being washed.

Hearing Jiang Yun's question, Tuntun rolled her eyes. "As if nobody has friends in Chongqing."

"Oh~"

Jiang Yun understood.

It was probably friends of Tuntun in Chongqing who had a set of clothes and makeup sent over via instant delivery, but...

"Do your friends even share your exact underwear size?"

Tuntun didn't answer right away, just gave a little hop on the spot.

Looking at that terrifying bounce and the subtle swell beneath her shirt, Jiang Yun understood...

"You really aren't afraid of sagging, are you?"

Jiang Yun teased.

Tuntun, however, brushed off a lock of hair with total nonchalance. "I'm young and gorgeous, I don't care about a little thing like that."

With that, Tuntun looked at Jiang Yun. "So, are you heading back to Chengdu?"

Jiang Yun spread his hands. "There's an award ceremony at noon, and they insisted I attend, even hinting that I should broadcast it live. I'll head back after the ceremony is over."

"Live-streaming?" Tuntun's eyes lit up. "Can I tag along?"

"Sure, go ahead. After all, you're practically one of the heroes responsible for the bust."

Jiang Yun said with a hint of banter in his tone.

When they were finishing up their statements at the police station yesterday, some of the officers had shared some gossip with them.

Wang Ergou and his partner had originally fled from Chengdu to Chongqing with the intention of resting briefly before heading to Guiyang and Kunming, eventually crossing the border to escape abroad.

As it turned out, Jiang Yun and Tuntun happened to walk past their hiding spot, and Tuntun's figure caught Wang Ergou's eye.

At first, Wang Ergou barely managed to hold back, but then the two of them turned around and walked back past them.

Twice the temptation finally broke Wang Ergou's self-restraint.

According to their original plan, one of them was supposed to sneak up and stab Jiang Yun to death, while Wang Ergou would deal with Tuntun.

That was why the person who confronted Jiang Yun directly was wielding a knife.

Never in their wildest dreams did they expect Jiang Yun to be such an incredible fighter...

"So what are you planning to do right now?"

"Eat, obviously, then wander around for a bit before heading over to the award ceremony venue."

"Alright, let's go get some food."

The two left the hotel, grabbed a casual bite nearby, and prepared to stroll around the neighborhood.

By this time, Jiang Yun had also opened his live broadcast, planning to rack up some streaming hours.

Since he was still trending on the search rankings, the moment Jiang Yun started his stream, the chat room instantly flooded with viewers.

"Yo, not late today?"

"You still haven't apologized for being late yesterday, hurry up and apologize!"

"Why did Tuntun change her clothes? Dammit, what did you guys do after the stream ended yesterday?"

"Wuuu wuuu, Brother Yun, did you really take her? Say it ain't so!"

"Brother Yun, did you help me take her last night too?"

"........."

Facing the teasing from his audience, Jiang Yun raised an eyebrow and said to Tuntun beside him, "Do a little jump, give my stream brothers a little treat."

Hearing this, Tuntun rolled her eyes, but still gave a little hop anyway.

After all, she frequently treated the viewers in her own stream to similar fan service.

Seeing that terrifying bounce, the viewers in the chat instantly understood.

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!"

"That is terrifyingly impressive, such massive tracts of land!"

"So huge!"

"Those are massive!"

"Holy crap, you two actually hooked up?"

"............"

At that moment, Jiang Yun spoke up again: "By the way, brothers, I don't have much going on this morning. Do you have any fun places to recommend for us to check out?"
