Chaozi had many, many uses.

Chen Yuan could take his time exploring them.

But right now, there was something simple he needed to do.

The fact that Chen Yuan hadn't turned into a Homelander after obtaining Chaozi indicated one thing—he possessed a basic sense of kindness.

Besides, he had a certain connection with Li Tong, so helping her out wouldn't hurt.

He wasn't helping some fairy; he was helping a good comrade with a strong sense of responsibility.

So, let me see which little thing has sticky fingers.

X-ray vision, activate!

It only took two seconds to see a person in nothing but their underwear.

Usually, it was pretty much over at this point; there was no need to continue the X-ray vision because there was no way to stuff such a big phone into their cleavage.

But this one glance showed that it wasn't among this group of people.

Seeing the police at the entrance, the shoppers in the mall were curious and took a few extra glances.

But their expressions were very relaxed.

Obviously, this behavior matched the facts.

Those who hadn't stolen anything naturally had nothing to feel guilty about.

No wonder Xin Bao felt like he had done something to let her down, suspecting that he might be cheating.

His reaction this morning was indeed a little too deliberate.

But anyone would have a hard time staying calm in that situation.

That was Xin Bao, after all. Pure and white, possessing the world's most sacred body. Looking at Bu Qixin Yu was an offense.

Of course, he was doing very well in front of Zhou Fu, a model of Southeast Asian male virtue.

Oh, this girl has the same style as Sister Fu.

Wait!

While scanning, Chen Yuan saw that the person really did have it in their cleavage, but it was a different cleavage hiding the phone.

She was walking towards them.

Her expression was very awkward.

But it was only because she was scrutinizing it closely that she looked awkward.

If you didn't look closely, you would just think this woman was a little reserved. There was no way you would associate her with a thief, and she was a top-tier presence in this version, so no police officer would dare to question her without reason.

Of course, Chen Yuan was different.

He would offend everyone equally who deserved to be offended.

Including this thief.

So, he covered his mouth with one hand and whispered to Li Tong, "Doesn't that woman look a little strange?"

"Why haven't you left yet?" Li Tong suddenly realized this and asked Chen Yuan in confusion.

Shouldn't this kid be in class today? Why was he wandering around outside of school?

"Listen to me," Chen Yuan continued to remind her, "Also, her gaze is avoiding the woman who lost her phone. There's definitely something wrong."

"Is there? That person doesn't look like she's short on money," Li Tong didn't agree.

So, Chen Yuan directly gave an example, "Do those girls who are buying group rentals of luxury cars and taking photos with Valentino look like they're short on money?"

"You even know Valentino. You're so young, and you know so much."

After Li Tong complained, she also looked at the woman, taking Chen Yuan's advice to heart. Sure enough, when she directly looked at her, the other woman flinched for a moment. Then, she quickly pretended to be natural, took out her phone, and lowered her head to type.

This action was very unnatural.

There was a sixty percent chance.

But did she really want to try it out for this sixty percent?

What if she wrongly accused her? She would be complained about.

It was hard to say for men, but if it was a woman, the possibility of a complaint was very high, and she wouldn't accept an apology.

Seeing the woman approaching, about to pass through the mall door, Li Tong's mood gradually became tense.

The urge to stop and question her was getting stronger and stronger…

"Phone."

Until Chen Yuan suddenly blurted out these two words, the woman's face suddenly turned pale, and she visibly became frightened, speeding up her pace to leave the mall.

Now, one hundred percent.

"Wait a moment." Li Tong stretched out her hand and stopped the woman in the black coat, who was quite stout.

It wasn't good to pull up the zipper on this kind of clothing.

Of course, it was other people's freedom if they wanted to wear it that way.

All the credit for finding this thief was entirely due to Chen Yuan.

Without his reminder and that probing "phone," Li Tong would have let this woman go one hundred percent.

So, she couldn't let Chen Yuan's efforts go to waste.

Since there was evidence, she couldn't turn a blind eye.

"What's wrong?" The woman raised her head and asked with a puzzled expression.

At this moment, the girl who lost her phone saw the police stopping someone and hurried over.

Obviously, her expression was even more panicked.

She wasn't a professional thief.

She might even be doing this for the first time.

And the first time, a theft arising from greed, was caught by the police on the spot, so her fear must have reached its peak.

She should already be imagining all kinds of consequences.

"That's right!" At this time, the girl who lost her phone suddenly said loudly, "I saw her next to me at the time! I was just a little careless while eating, and my phone disappeared!"

"You, what nonsense are you talking about? Who stole your phone!" the woman became anxious and retorted, her face flushed.

Then, the male police officer next to her also noticed this change.

Sixty percent.

At this time, the crowd gradually gathered, becoming larger and larger, and some people were taking videos with their phones.

"Don't take pictures, don't crowd around, everyone don't block the door, go do your own things." The male police officer quickly dispersed the crowd and asked Li Tong to stand somewhere else, inside the mall, not blocking the door.

Then, the four of them were in a stalemate like this.

"No, how can you suspect others for no reason?" The woman became anxious and took out her own phone to record, muttering to herself, "Look, the police are smearing innocent citizens, saying I stole a phone without evidence…"

"I'll call my phone!"

The stolen girl asked the male police officer for his phone and then called her phone in front of her.

Then, the well-shaped woman swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Ninety-nine percent.

The male police officer could basically confirm it too.

Then, the girl made a call.

As expected—The user you dialed is powered off.

The questioned woman became even more unreasonable as a result, angrily saying, "Can you just arrest people randomly without evidence?"

"Then please come to the restroom with me," Li Tong said calmly.

"You want to search me?" The woman said angrily, "Do you think I need to steal a broken phone? Why are you slandering me?"

"My phone cost more than ten thousand to buy, what broken phone?" The stolen girl grabbed Li Tong's hand and said, "Just search her, she must have hidden it in her underwear."

"Bullshit! Are you shameless? I'm a girl, would I steal a phone? And hide it in my underwear?"

Seeing the two about to argue, Li Tong directly said, "Please come to the restroom with me. If nothing is found, I'll apologize to you…"

"Is an apology enough? You're insulting me like this. I want you to be fired!"

"Okay."

Li Tong looked calmly at the woman struggling on her last breath and said, "If I wrongly accuse you, I'll take off my hat. If not, then please come to our station."

"…" Hearing this, the woman was speechless. Then, she simply started to lie, "I don't have time to mess with you, I have to go to work, let me through…"

"If you don't cooperate with the police now, I have the right to take you directly to the police station," Li Tong said, pretending to reach for her handcuffs.

Seeing this, the woman was frightened. Watching Li Tong about to touch the handcuffs, she suddenly went crazy, pushed away the other's arm, and was about to run.

Then, in the next second, the male police officer pounced on her from behind, subduing her on the spot, "Assaulting a police officer in front of me, huh?"

This pounce caused the girl to fall face down, and the phone clipped in her underwear leaped out and slid far away.

All the masses at the scene exclaimed.

Then, some nosy old ladies and aunties quickly applauded and cheered.

Of course, there were also some mentally handicapped passers-by who thought it would be too rude to do this to a girl, even if she stole a phone.

"My phone!" The girl quickly picked up the phone and found cracks on it from the fall. She said very angrily, "She should compensate me, right?"

"Yes, yes," the male police officer quickly responded, then said, "You all come with me for a trip to the police station."

At this time, the little fairy who was helped up was covering her face and starting to cry.

"I didn't expect her to be a thief at such a young age. Why bother."

"But the way she acted just now made me really think she didn't steal it."

"This female police comrade is amazing, daring to say she'd lose her job if she wronged someone, she really is a good police officer."

"Also a woman, the female police comrade is very飒 [sà - cool, heroic], that one is a bit 飒B [sàbī - cool idiot]…"

When everyone praised her, Li Tong was a little embarrassed, because if it weren't for Chen Yuan today, they definitely wouldn't have caught this thief.

So, she looked at Chen Yuan as soon as possible, and then found that this kid was no longer at the scene, having disappeared early on…

……

Too overpowered.

If I had this ability and became a police officer in the future, wouldn't I be making merits all the way to becoming a white shirt?

Of course, using it on the road to pursuing fame and fortune was indeed a bit of a low tactic.

As a god who did things out of interest, Chen Yuan felt that the tone for the future was still like this.

Easily resolve things, then turn around and leave, deeply hiding his identity and name.

What, no positive feedback, not satisfying enough?

How could that be?

His actions just now had already planted a seed in the heart of the little female police officer Li Tong.

She must be endlessly admiring him, right?

"Hi!" Suddenly, a hand hit Chen Yuan's shoulder, and a particularly happy greeting came.

"…Seriously, are you trying to scare me to death?" Chen Yuan rubbed his chest and turned around, really angry.

Then, he watched Li Tong holding a cup of milk tea in her hand, raising it in front of him, and smilingly said, "Call me Sister Li Tong, and I'll give it to you."

"I don't want to drink it," Chen Yuan immediately refused.

"Then let's simplify it, just calling me 'sister' is fine," Li Tong bargained.

"No," Chen Yuan didn't react at all.

"Then never mind, I won't give it to you," Li Tong snorted, retracted the milk tea, and pretended to drink it herself.

"Goodbye, I'm going to catch the bus," Chen Yuan turned to leave.

"Take it, take it!" Li Tong really had no choice but to forcibly stuff the milk tea into the other's hand.

Then, Chen Yuan accepted it calmly, not saying thank you, nor calling her sister, as if it were only right and proper.

It made it seem as if she, a dignified people's police officer, was this kid's simp.

When she received the police report, she dealt with so many stalking, harassing, and entangled simps, and always found these people very funny, but today she was actually begging someone to drink milk tea with a straight face.

What's wrong with me?

"My colleague praised you today, saying you're as sharp as an eagle and a good seedling for criminal investigation, don't lower yourself to being a community police officer," Li Tong said jokingly with a smile.

"Why do you assume I want to be a police officer?" Chen Yuan didn't show any joy from being praised.

"Then you don't want this commendation either?" Li Tong tempted him like this.

"No," Chen Yuan shook his head, saying very firmly, "Don't tell my school, I want to keep a low profile lately."

"Then you're just going to take all the credit, not jealous?" Li Tong wanted the other person to ask for credit, so she continued to use the tactic of provoking him.

"It's all right, I don't care."

Sipping a mouthful of milk tea, Chen Yuan acted quite casually.

This made Li Tong a little anxious.

Did she accidentally make him unhappy somewhere?

Why did he seem to dislike her so much…

In fact, Chen Yuan just wanted to go to school early to bathe in the ocean of knowledge.

If this continued, he would miss the second class.

"Then goodbye, Li Tong."

Chen Yuan waved his hand, intending to leave. Suddenly, Li Tong stood on tiptoe and snatched Chen Yuan's glasses.

He was stunned, turned around, and saw this woman wearing his glasses, smiling and saying, "What? They're not prescription, just for show? Look, do I look like a high school student…"

He lost his glasses.

No.

"Give them back to me!"

Li Tong's police uniform was disappearing, her shirt was disappearing, her underwear appeared, and was also disappearing, and then there was a striking, centipede-like long black scar on her chest…

"……"

Chen Yuan suddenly used an exclamation point, making Li Tong startled. Then, she took off the glasses and somewhat restrainedly handed them to the other person: "Here, here you go."

He was anxious just now.

That impatient anxiety.

Was she taking the joke too far?

She treated him like a younger brother because she had lost a younger brother who was very similar to him.

But he didn't have this kind of experience and past.

He probably just thought she was annoying…

Putting on his glasses, the world became better again. Chen Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked at Li Tong again, she was frozen in embarrassment, wanting to force a smile, but in the end just waved her hand, "Then, then I'll go back to the station, you go to school."

"I'm really not showing off," Chen Yuan explained with embarrassment, "Wearing glasses is just for decoration, there's no other reason, don't talk nonsense."

Hearing this, Li Tong realized that he wasn't anxious because she was annoying.

Rather, she revealed some of the other person's shy points, such as the secret that the glasses didn't have a prescription, so he became embarrassed and angry.

Fortunately, that was the case.

She thought he… was annoyed with her.

"The girl you like is a top student, so you also want to look like a top student, I understand."

Li Tong also ended this conversation with a joking sentence to ease the atmosphere.

But at the same time, she began to reflect that she shouldn't be too familiar with Chen Yuan.

She really treated him as a younger brother to fill a certain gap in her heart.

But that was definitely unfair to him.

Chen Yuan was Chen Yuan, he didn't want to become someone's replacement.

"Then, then you should go to school quickly."

Li Tong combed her expression to a commercial level, and her attitude towards Chen Yuan was as friendly as towards every law-abiding citizen.

He doesn't like me like this… I have to be more mature.

"Just now, I saw you seemed to have a scar?" Chen Yuan pointed to Li Tong's collar and asked.

That scar should be very long, all the way to the collarbone, and from his perspective, he could catch a glimpse of it at a certain angle.

"Yes."

So, Li Tong reacted and quickly buttoned up the top button of her coat. Then, she smiled and explained, "Because of my younger brother's matter, I've always felt guilty, and wanting to become a police officer is also because of this. When I first joined the job, I was really stupid and got scolded many times, all because of my recklessness. The leaders even wanted to transfer me to household registration. Later, finally, I still crashed and burned. I was cut by a hooligan who was bullying people, leaving a small scar. There's nothing else, it's just that it doesn't look good in a swimsuit…"

"Be careful."

Hearing this, Li Tong was stunned, raised her head to look at Chen Yuan, a little dazed.

"Be careful to protect yourself, don't get hurt." After Chen Yuan finished speaking in a rare gentle tone, he touched his neck with his hand and turned to leave.

Li Tong's eyes were suddenly shimmering with a circle of crystalline light. Just as she was about to cry, she immediately rubbed her eyes and stopped the tears.

Her expression management reached its peak.

But her heart still couldn't help but ripple.

Li Tong gently watched Chen Yuan walking slowly to the opposite side of the road. Then, her face sank, and she suddenly grabbed his arm forward, "Seriously, jaywalking in front of me?"

"Hey, there are still two seconds left for the green man, right?"

"Didn't you see it flashing?"

After vigorously patting Chen Yuan on the back and reprimanding him, Li Tong said extremely, extremely seriously, "In the future, you have to wait for the green light before crossing the road every time."

"Okay."

Chen Yuan pursed his lips silently, nodding reluctantly.

This woman, her "sister" vibe is too strong, it's really a bit unbearable.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Chen Yuan asked in confusion.

"I'll take you to the bus stop," Li Tong said.

"Hurry up and leave, if it weren't for you just now, I would have crossed the ro…"

"You can't be like that older brother, who stops listening to me when he grows up."

"Got it, sis."

At this time, a middle school girl holding the hand of an elementary school boy passed by from behind.

And, it was obviously cueing at himself and the female police officer.

Who the hell is the younger brother?

Chen Yuan felt inexplicable, but at this moment, Li Tong, looking at those two children, was smiling especially happily.

This feeling of being misunderstood actually made her so satisfied.

Honestly, Chen Yuan felt a little guilty seeing this scene.

Li Tong had asked him to chat several times, and each time his reply was no more than five words.

Purely because he didn't want to play the sister-brother game with her.

But she obviously really intended to take advantage of him – wanting to be this "sister."

At this moment, it was green light.

When Chen Yuan was about to leave, he found that Li Tong hadn't left.

"I was just joking with you," Li Tong shrugged and explained, "You can only cross the road after the green light, the flashing light isn't reminding you to go faster, it's reminding you not to go, understand?"

"Oh."

At this time, if he called her "sister," she would probably be happy to death.

But he wouldn't.

"Got it, Li Tong," Chen Yuan waved and walked away.

At this moment, Li Tong, standing in place, was as anxious as ants crawling all over her body.

Call me "sister!"

Please, Yuan, just call me "sister," and I'll spend money on you!
