The appearance of the madman was going to cause quite a bit of trouble, but as Li Chen stepped in, the problem dissipated instantly, which let the people around breathe a sigh of relief.
After releasing his foot from the subdued madman, Li Chen’s brow furrowed again.
From the beginning, he had felt that something was off.
The man was clearly just an ordinary person; in fact, just moments ago, he had searched the man’s body with True Qi.
In return, he found nothing at all, not even a trace of abnormal energy within the man’s body. So how could he have suddenly unleashed such terrifying power?
Looking at the man, a thoughtful expression appeared in Li Chen’s eyes.
At that moment, a group of police officers rushed up, firmly secured the man, and handcuffed him.
The ordinary bystanders were also dispersed by the police.
The girl whom Li Chen had saved came to him to express her gratitude, then left under police escort.
Everything seemed to return to tranquility once again.
However, no one noticed that as the man was taken away, a small black insect crawled out of his ear, fell to the side of the road, and then slowly flew away into the distance.
At that time, Yu Yueying also came to Li Chen’s side.
"I really appreciate your help this time. If you hadn’t stepped in, things could have gotten much worse," Yu Yueying said sincerely to Li Chen.
As a police officer, her role was to ensure the safety of the general public.
But today’s incident had definitely caught her off guard; so many police officers, yet not a single one could control him, almost leading to a tragedy. If something had actually happened, she would not have been able to absolve herself of responsibility.
"No need to thank me, I just happened to be here, so I lent a hand," Li Chen said with a smile, waving his hand dismissively.
For him, such an event was truly trivial.
After chatting for a while, Yu Yueying said to Li Chen with a headache, "I don’t know what’s going on in Linchuan recently. We’ve repeatedly encountered these madmen who possess superhuman strength and are very hard to control."
"Oh?" Upon hearing Yu Yueying’s words, Li Chen looked at her, "Has this happened many times?"
"Yes," Yu Yueying nodded. "It’s happened several times just today, which is why we came out to patrol the streets."
Yu Yueying explained to Li Chen, "I don’t know what’s happening to these people. They become very easily agitated, and once they do, they go mad and develop incredible strength that several people can’t contain."
"Have you found the cause?" Li Chen asked.
Upon hearing this, Yu Yueying shook her head, "We’ve also had hospitals check, but all the madmen are the same, there’s nothing unusual about their bodies."
Hearing Yu Yueying’s words, Li Chen nodded, "How about this—I’ll accompany you to the police station and see if we can figure out the cause."
A glimpse of surprise flashed in Yu Yueying’s eyes. Having Li Chen’s help would be more than welcome.
Others might not know, but she was aware of this man’s capabilities.
Although she didn’t know exactly who he was, through her interactions with Li Chen, she found him increasingly mysterious. Not only was his own strength immense, but he also had a profound knowledge of medicine.
It seemed he knew many other miscellaneous things as well, though these were not Yu Yueying’s concern. In her heart, she had already recognized Li Chen as a friend.
Li Chen’s willingness to help was naturally something she eagerly desired.
"Okay! Then, hurry up and come with me!" Yu Yueying said, immediately grabbing Li Chen’s arm.
"Uh..." Suddenly, Yu Yueying realized something was off.
Turning her head, she saw Li Chen looking at her with a half-smiling expression.
"What are you looking at?" Realizing her action was somewhat inappropriate, Yu Yueying quickly let go of Li Chen’s hand.
Holding hands with Li Chen , why did it somewhat feel like they were a couple?
"It’s nothing." Li Chen gently shook his head, "I’m just not used to getting into a police car, that’s all. You guys go ahead, I’ll drive over to find you later."
"No way!" Yu Yueying immediately responded, "You promised, remember?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chen couldn’t help but give a wry smile, "I didn’t say I wouldn’t go, I just said I’d drive there myself."
"Alright then!" Yu Yueying’s eyes flickered as she suddenly said to a police officer nearby, "You guys go back first, I’ll come later."
"Yes!" The officer answered and directly got into the police car.
Watching the departing police car, Li Chen looked at Yu Yueying with a somewhat perplexed expression, "What do you mean by this?"
"I’m going with you!" Yu Yueying said matter-of-factly, "Why, you wouldn’t want me in your car, would you?"
"Of course, I would." Li Chen nodded with a wry smile.
Arriving at the police station, Li Chen and Yu Yueying stood next to the still-unconscious madman, both frowning deeply.
"Did you find anything?" Yu Yueying asked, noticing Li Chen’s expression.
Li Chen shook his head slightly, "Aside from some muscle strains due to excessive force, there’s nothing else."
Li Chen’s expression grew serious; finding something would have been good news, but finding nothing was the worst.
"You didn’t find anything either?" Yu Yueying rolled her eyes upon hearing Li Chen’s words.
"Hey, what do you think I am? Even the hospital couldn’t diagnose the issue, how could I find something all of a sudden?" Li Chen said with a wry smile.
Yu Yueying spoke up, "Last time the hospital had no solution for my mother’s illness, but you solved it, didn’t you? I thought you were omnipotent."
"Hey hey hey, are you even capable?" Seeing Li Chen standing still, Yu Yueying couldn’t help but ask.
Li Chen smiled, "I really can’t find any abnormalities on him, but whether I’m capable or not, why don’t you find out for yourself?"
"Bastard, dare to flirt with me?" Yu Yueying glared, her face instantly filled with anger as she threw a punch at Li Chen.
Her mood was indeed terrible, and knowing Li Chen was highly skilled, she wanted to vent her frustrations on him.
However, the next moment, Yu Yueying realized she had made a mistake.
A hand caught her fist, and in an instant, she was pulled into a sturdy embrace.
"Let me go!" Being tightly held by Li Chen, unable to move, Yu Yueying couldn’t help but express her annoyance.
"You were the one who hit first, I’m not letting go!" Li Chen said with a grin.
