Chapter 100

"Officer Lin?" Luo Jingyao was indeed a little surprised.

"Coach Luo is very punctual." Lin Jiafan glanced at the wall clock, smiled, raised his hand, and greeted, "They're still upstairs giving their report, so they sent me down here to let you know."

Nodding to indicate that she understood, Luo Jingyao slowly walked to the center of the training room and casually threw her backpack on the ground.

Hearing the muffled "bang" sound and the faint sound of various metal instruments colliding with each other, Lin Jiafan couldn't help but frown and observed a three-second silence in his heart for the three people under his command.

Just as he was silent, a pair of professional free-fighting half-finger gloves were suddenly thrown to his feet.

Under the man's surprised gaze, Luo Jingyao calmly lowered her head and tightened the string on her gloves. "This is Officer Lin's first class. In order to better tailor the teaching to each student, I'd better feel out your background first."

After looking down at the sports gloves at his feet for a while, Lin Jiafan finally sighed resignedly and bent down to pick them up.

After putting on his gloves, he took off his glasses and threw them aside.

The metal frame crashed to the floor, and the sound inevitably made Luo Jingyao look sideways. "I broke my glasses during physical education class. I guess the bureau won't reimburse me for this, right?"

"Because I'm often on the road, my glasses are specially made," Lin Jiafan explained with a smile, his eyes fixed on the man across from him. "Coach Luo, I have a video conference with the provincial department this afternoon. Please go easy on me!"

Although it was not the first time they met, Luo Jingyao still felt a little uncomfortable under the gaze of those black eyes that were without lenses compared to usual ones.

"No problem." She looked away and responded with a forced smile.

It didn't take too long. The two of them quickly cleared the place and stood there facing each other.

After a brief eye contact, with Luo Jingyao's crisp "be careful", almost in an instant, the two figures were entangled in a fight.

It was not much different from her previous judgment. Lin Jiafan was indeed a martial artist with quite good strength.

Moreover, his moves are different from those practiced by normal athletes. They are more practical and his routines are commonly used in police academies or the military.

Lin Jiafan did not show any mercy during this process. Not only did he punch at tricky angles, he also took advantage of Luo Jingyao's flexible body and suppressed her in all directions.

So from the very beginning, she didn't fight smoothly, and couldn't escape the opponent's attack range and could only defend passively.

Under Lin Jiafan's relentless pressure, Luo Jingyao soon had no way to retreat and came to the edge of the venue.

Strength itself is the advantage of men. If they confront each other head-on in this regard, she is destined to gain no advantage.

Just before she was about to be eliminated, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in Luo Jingyao's eyes. After dodging Lin Jiafan's punch by turning sideways, she also stretched out her hand and hit his left upper arm hard.

As expected, she heard a muffled groan and successfully escaped from the opponent's attack.

The situation that followed seemed to be a two-level reversal, and Luo Jingyao went from being forced to fight back to being the one who took the initiative to attack.

It turned out that before this, she seemed to be at a disadvantage, but in fact she was observing Lin Jiafan's every move, punching habits, etc. After several fights, she vaguely discovered the man's weakness.

That's the left arm.

I don’t know if it’s just a habit or if he doesn’t pay much attention to his left hand and left arm during daily training, but his left side is far behind his right side in terms of speed and strength.

Although she was thinking in her head, it did not affect Luo Jingyao's performance. After hitting Lin Jiafan's left forearm accurately again to break through his defense, she hit the handsome face with a sudden punch.

"Hiss..." Lin Jiafan staggered back two steps and first covered his left arm inconspicuously, but soon raised his hand to gently stroke his face which was numb from the pain.

He nudged his nearly numb cheek with the tip of his tongue and waved his left hand feebly, "Coach Luo, you don't want me to attend the provincial meeting with this face, do you?"

Luo Jingyao was a little confused when she heard the joking complaints in her ears.

She also didn't expect that she only used 50% of her strength when she hit the opponent's left forearm, so how could it completely disrupt his rhythm and cause him to suffer such a blow in the face?

"Are you deliberately giving in to me?" She looked him up and down with suspicion.

"What are you talking about? Who wouldn't want to win?" Lin Jiafan placed his gloves neatly next to his backpack. "Coach Luo, after all this time, you should have a good understanding of my personality."

"I'm really not as skilled as others."

Frowning and thinking carefully, Luo Jingyao had to admit that he was indeed not the type to do things perfunctorily. So, as she walked over to the backpack, she offered some advice as a coach: "Officer Lin, your left hand strength is too weak."

"I will give you some intensive training on this aspect in the future. Although you are indeed very capable in fighting, I am afraid that if you encounter someone equally skilled, this will become your fatal flaw."

She said this sincerely. Compared to Pang Guang and others who knew nothing, Lin Jiafan was the most worrying.

Because those who don’t have much strength will have self-awareness, for example, Pang Guang didn’t even dare to jump down from the second floor. They will protect themselves.

I am afraid of this kind of people who have certain strengths but also have fatal flaws. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are always walking on the edge of danger.

"Okay, I'll listen to Coach Luo." Lin Jiafan bent down and picked up the glasses he had just thrown aside. After putting them on, he became the elegant-looking Police Officer Lin again.

Of course, that's if you can ignore the rapidly swelling wound on your right cheek.

"Eh? What a coincidence! The director asked me to go upstairs for a short meeting." He glanced at his phone and showed a regretful expression: "I guess Pang Guang and the others will be here soon. See you later, Coach Luo."

"Wait a minute!" Luo Jingyao was about to wave goodbye, but suddenly remembered something and took out a neatly folded coat from her backpack and handed it over.

"Thank you, Officer Lin. I have cleaned the clothes."

"You're welcome." Smelling the faint scent of laundry detergent, Lin Jiafan subconsciously raised his left hand, but when it was about to touch the baseball uniform, he quickly switched to his right hand.

After taking the clothes, he nodded politely, turned around and left the training room.

It was not until the tall figure disappeared at the door that Luo Jingyao slowly withdrew her gaze. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Lin Jiafan's face was paler than before.

But before she could figure out what was going on, she heard noisy conversations in the corridor, and the next second Pang Guang and others rushed into the training room with smiles on their faces.

"Coach Luo, good morning! I haven't seen you for a few days, and you're still as radiant as ever!" The young man spoke first in a nonchalant manner.

Pan Chang, who was following behind, rolled his eyes when he heard this. "If you don't know how to praise people, then don't force it. What? Are you expecting Coach Luo to go easy on you?"

After arguing with Pang Guang, the woman came over to Luo Jingyao, who was squatting in front of her backpack and organizing equipment. Her originally thin face became round because of her curiosity.

"We just ran into Captain Lin on the way here. He's got a huge bump on his face. Did you beat him up, Coach Luo?"

Hearing her question, Pang Guang and Guo Zhen, who were mumbling nearby, subconsciously stopped talking and pricked up their ears.

"Well... it was a complete accident." Luo Jingyao explained awkwardly, "Officer Lin said he wanted to join our physical training class, so I gave him a pre-get out of class test. I didn't expect that by mistake..."

"Him? In class? You must be joking." Pan Chang's face was full of disbelief. "He's either working on a case, flying to various parts of the country to attend an exchange meeting, or doing self-criticism in the office of a leader. How could he have time to come to class?"

"You can't be so sure. You can't not allow Captain Lin to have the desire to improve himself, right?" Pang Guang helped to make an excuse.

"Promotion? He, who has won the championship in the National Public Security Competition for three consecutive times, needs promotion?" Pan Chang sneered, not realizing that he had accidentally revealed an incredible piece of news.

"What you said... does make some sense." Pang Guang opened his mouth, but finally nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Guo Zhen, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly interrupted, "Have you two forgotten that he was injured while on a mission two years ago? What about three-time martial arts champion? That was so long ago."

After these words were spoken, Pang Guang and Pan Chang felt a little embarrassed for a moment. They looked at each other and then fell silent.

"Have you been injured?" Luo Jingyao's eyebrows jumped.

Guo Zhen nodded affirmatively. "Captain Lin was assigned by the provincial government as an expert to a special task force. He was blown away by a gang of criminals strapped to their bodies while they were closing in."

"It's said he nearly lost his life. By the time we received the notification, he had already been transferred out of the hospital's ICU." He shook his head and sighed, "Captain Lin was left with a long scar on his left arm. Fortunately, the subsequent rehabilitation treatment was carried out in a timely manner. He was almost transferred to a civilian position in the bureau!"

Scars?

Luo Jingyao was stunned. She met the members of the special case investigation team in early autumn. Everyone was wrapped tightly in long sleeves and long pants, so she really didn't pay much attention to this aspect.

In fact, after the competition just ended, she already knew that Lin Jiafan did not deliberately torment her in Qianjin Resort City.

No matter how good a man's martial arts skills are or how strong his practical skills are, the lack of strength in his left arm means he cannot perform any high-quality climbing movements, let alone hang on there for so long.

I just didn't expect that the truth of the matter would be so cruel.

She vaguely remembered that the first fight between her and Lin Jiafan was in the dim stairwell in the basement of the shopping mall.

Knowing it was her, Lin Jiafan naturally wouldn't use much strength. Plus, it was indeed his left arm that she grabbed...

Luo Jingyao's breathing stagnated and her expression became a little confused.

Lin Jiafan's pale and bloodless handsome face flashed before her eyes, and the guilt in her heart almost overwhelmed her.

boom!

At this moment, there was a sudden roar outside, which scared everyone in the training room and even made the windows buzz.

After coming to his senses, Pang Guang ran to the window first and looked at the billowing smoke rising from the western horizon with a serious expression.

"What the hell? What's going on?"
