Chapter 181: Zhao Yun: Find a Place to Try It Out
As the saying went, normal humans were all alike, but brainless friends each had their own unique flavor.
The brain of an ordinary person was filled with ridges and valleys—every fold hiding wisdom about life. But the brain of a slightly idiotic person was smooth like a polished ball—forget wisdom, even a drop of water would slide right off.
As for Wang Chu, he was both of the above and yet neither. He belonged to the type that didn’t even have a brain. If you cracked open his skull, you’d find nothing but empty space.
People like him, to put it bluntly, were just dumplings filled with poop—the only upside being that they were well-sealed. Standing next to him, you couldn’t even smell the stink, which was why he could disguise himself as human and blend in among the crowd.
However, this kind of creature was particularly friendly toward dogs. After all, to dogs, he was like a free ice cream machine. And if he got constipated, he’d be producing dog biscuits instead. One could say that this was Wang Chu’s only real purpose in life—simply put, a humanoid.
“Old Mo! Old Mo? Old—hey? Why are you walking away, huh? Sichuan Girl is still inside!”
Just as Wang Chu was shouting at the front line and the opposing general appeared, Lin Mo turned around and walked off without a shred of hesitation, as if he had made some firm decision.
You gotta be kidding me, Lin Mo thought. I’ve been trying to avoid her, and you want me to go up and fight her?
Going up alone would already count as assaulting an officer, and you want me to go as a group? Go enjoy your jail meal—once you start, you won’t be coming back.
Wang Chu’s guts were huge—did Mazu Empress even give him permission? He got beaten several times in a row, took three hits head-on, and still wasn’t dead. Why hasn’t this BYD been totaled yet?
In Wang Chu’s eyes, the opponent was obviously cheating—a woman beating him like a stray dog.
In Zhao Yun’s eyes, the opponent was the cheater—a regular man taking her two kicks and a punch, and still being able to run?
Both sides thought the other was hacking, yet neither had proof.
Now, Wang Chu thought, My brother’s here. Two men should be able to handle one woman, right? And if you added Sichuan Girl into the mix, that’d be two and a half men—advantage us!
Zhao Yun, however, upon hearing that the guy who ran earlier dared to come back to challenge her, thought: Not surrendering, but calling for backup? Seeking death!
But from Lin Mo’s perspective, it was a completely different story. Before he saw Zhao Yun: Who the hell dares to beat up my brother?
After he saw Zhao Yun: Oh, you hit him? Then maybe don’t hit me, yeah?
“Cut the crap, let’s go. As for Sichuan Girl, just call it her bad luck,” Lin Mo whispered.
Now that he knew the person in front of him was a policewoman, what was there to worry about? If it wasn’t a misunderstanding, then Sichuan Girl must’ve done something wrong. At this point, he was in more danger than her.
“What? Sichuan Girl’s still in there! How can we just leave her behind? Brotherhood, man!” Wang Chu said, clutching his arm tightly.
Of course, Wang Chu didn’t think too deeply about it. He just figured that Old Mo saw the opponent was a woman and felt embarrassed to fight back. After all, when he dragged Lin Mo down earlier, he’d intentionally withheld some details, afraid Lin Mo wouldn’t believe him.
And besides, Wang Chu prided himself on being a big, burly guy. Getting beaten up by a woman? How humiliating.
But the problem was—the woman moved like lightning. Every strike carried technique.
Seeing that he couldn’t move, Lin Mo took a deep breath and said helplessly, “Bro, your life is really something. You’re like the national server’s No.1 tank!”
After all, surviving three strikes from Zhao Yun, a criminal police officer, and even managing to run away to call for backup—Wang Chu was truly something else.
You had to know, the person in front of them—just by hearing her name, and the fact that she spawned out in the wild—was basically a field boss.
Wang Chu, confused, didn’t understand what Lin Mo meant and was just about to speak when the boss behind them spoke first:
“Lin Mo? You two know each other?”
Wang Chu: “Old Mo? You two know each other?”
Lin Mo: …
I don’t want to know either of you, but you both forced me into this!
“This is my college roommate, Wang Bo. The one inside should be my other roommate, Li Chuan.
And this is my friend, Zhao Yun. You’d better think about what you just said,” Lin Mo introduced quickly. When mentioning Zhao Yun, he gave Wang Chu a couple of sharp elbows as a hint.
Upon hearing the name “Zhao Yun,” Wang Chu froze. What kind of coincidence was this?
You had to know—even in his lifetime, the great Zhao Yun rarely got angry. And even the old version of Zhao Yun once got insulted as an “old fool” by a guy named Han De and promptly sent him to the afterlife in one strike. The fact that Wang Chu was still standing here was a miracle—and luckily Lin Mo knew her, which meant she was one of them.
“Huh? So I got beaten for nothing?” Wang Chu asked.
Lin Mo said, “Not just you. The one inside probably got beaten for nothing too. And she’s a police officer—you should be glad you’re not being charged for assaulting an officer!”
Wang Chu: “What? She’s a—”
Before he could finish, both of them gave him death glares.
“A beautiful, smooth-talking officer! A total misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!” Wang Chu quickly changed his words, his smile more painful than crying.
Seeing how far things had gone, Lin Mo realized he couldn’t escape anymore, so he stepped forward and asked, “What happened, exactly? I heard my roommate had a conflict with you—and that it even got physical? I know my roommate. He’s a decent guy, must be a misunderstanding, right?”
Though Sichuan Girl’s mouth could be as poisonous as venom, it was just words—she wasn’t a bad person. After living together for over three years, Lin Mo had confidence in that much.
“You sure the one inside is your roommate, and not that he’s her simp?” Zhao Yun said, pointing at Wang Chu.
Lin Mo: ???
Wang Chu: ???
Soon, the three entered the public restroom. There sat Li Shiya on the floor, holding her phone to her chest, looking as pitiful as Chae Soo-bin getting splashed in a Korean variety show.
On her phone screen were bold words: 【I won’t say a word until my friend arrives】
“You sure she is your roommate?” Zhao Yun asked, pointing at Li Shiya.
She even shot a glance at Wang Chu, and her meaning was obvious—these two clearly weren’t a couple. At least, not by looks.
Wang Chu’s cheap outfit didn’t suggest wealth, and seeing him rush in as soon as the girl was restrained made him look exactly like a desperate simp defending his goddess.
As a seasoned criminal investigator, Zhao Yun had seen this kind of situation countless times—simps avenging their goddess by killing her cheating boyfriend or husband. She’d handled multiple such cases. So, this was nothing new to her.
In fact, she even started to wonder about Lin Mo’s relationship with this group. If there was something ambiguous between him and the girl, she’d have to talk to her dear Rushuang about it later—might even find some “unexpected surprises.”
“Uh…” Lin Mo didn’t know how to explain. Of course, he understood Zhao Yun’s look.
He never thought Wang Chu would throw off the “simp” label only to have it slapped right back on at an even weirder angle.
“It’s a bit complicated. Can I first ask what happened?” Lin Mo said helplessly.
The moment Sichuan Girl saw him, she looked as if she had seen her savior, frantically blinking at him, signaling for him to get her out.
Hearing this, Zhao Yun nodded. “It’s nothing serious. I just saw her, a young girl, run toward the men’s restroom with her phone up filming something. I reminded her, but she ignored me and tried to leave. You know what my job is—I had to ask questions. When I tried to stop her, she ran. That looked suspicious, so of course I couldn’t let her go. When I pinned her down, your friend here appeared and tried to push me. With that build, I thought he was an accomplice, so I tried to subdue them both. Didn’t expect him to be so durable—took two kicks and a punch, still ran off. I didn’t chase because I was afraid this one would run too, so I decided to stay and question her first. And then you showed up. I thought her ‘friend’ was an accomplice—but it’s you.”
After hearing all that, Lin Mo felt like his brain was running out of oxygen.
She asked you a question, and you ran off? Who else was she supposed to chase? Zhao Yun was a criminal police officer—if you ran in front of one, of course she’d stop you!
“Well, it really is a misunderstanding. My roommate’s a guy, so of course he went into the men’s restroom. If it were a girl going into the men’s restroom, that’d be perverted. Then, even I’d help you arrest him,” Lin Mo explained truthfully, then turned to Sichuan Girl. “And you, stop sitting there. This is my friend Zhao Yun—she’s a criminal investigator. If you don’t start explaining, I’m not helping you anymore!”
At that, Sichuan Girl quickly stood up but still seemed doubtful. After all, Zhao Yun wasn’t in uniform—just plain clothes.
“You’re saying she’s actually a guy?” Zhao Yun asked, pointing at the standing Li Shiya, clearly unsure.
Lin Mo nodded. “Yes, I have proof.”
He took out his phone and showed Zhao Yun Sichuan Girl’s account. After seeing it, Zhao Yun still looked utterly disbelieving.
That face—it was the kind that could melt anyone’s heart. But realizing this was actually a “biological male,” Zhao Yun instantly lost all interest.
“Hello, this is my badge. May I see your ID?” Zhao Yun pulled out her identification and showed it to Sichuan Girl.
Fortunately, as college students, they all had the habit of carrying their IDs. Sichuan Girl quickly produced hers, and after taking a glance, Zhao Yun took a deep breath. “I’m really sorry. I’d like to apologize to both of you for what just happened. But please understand, I was just fulfilling my duty as an officer. If either of you feels unwell, we can go to the hospital.”
Now that it was clear the whole thing was a misunderstanding, Zhao Yun didn’t drag it out. She apologized neatly—and even worried that her earlier kicks might’ve hurt Wang Chu.
“No, no, Officer Auntie, we were in the wrong too! I’m totally fine!” Wang Chu grinned cheaply.
But the moment he spoke, the air turned cold. Lin Mo could feel Zhao Yun’s fist tightening beside him—the prelude to Zhao Yun’s Fury.
“Ahem, well then, if everything’s fine, you two should go change and wait for my message,” Lin Mo said, signaling with his eyes for them to hurry and leave.
Even if Wang Chu were reincarnated as Zhou Cang himself, he probably couldn’t withstand Zhao Yun’s second round of punishment. Once Zhao Yun’s Fury activated, all three of them could end up as casualties.
Sichuan Girl, despite her quirks, was sharp enough to sense danger. Grabbing Wang Chu, she bolted.
“Hey? Why are we running? Officer Auntie didn’t say we could go yet!” Wang Chu yelled as he was dragged off.
Lin Mo immediately regretted coming out today. He should’ve just let those two spend the night at the police station.
“Ahem, well, uh, if that’s all, then I’ll just—”
As Lin Mo spoke, he tried to quietly slip away. He really didn’t want to face an angry Zhao Yun—he was afraid she’d turn him into a Blazing Lion of the Night and beat him into the ground.
But before he could move, a hand clamped down hard on his shoulder. He could feel the terrifying grip strength through his bones.
“Zhao—Sister Zhao, is… there something else?” Lin Mo asked nervously.
Zhao Yun snorted coldly and said slowly, “Didn’t you all just say you wanted to settle life and death with me today? Perfect timing—I’m pretty angry myself.”
Lin Mo: …
Why me? I was just passing by! You think I’m a fire extinguisher or something?
Lin Mo: “Misunderstanding, Sister Zhao! It’s all a misunderstanding!”
Zhao Yun: “Misunderstanding? Didn’t you say you wanted a fight? Find a place and try it!”
Lin Mo: …
