Chapter 21

The man was holding the woman's hair with one hand and choking her neck with the other, and his expression was clearly off.

"Alright, alright, you two calm down. It's all for the sake of the child and the family. Let's sit down and have a proper talk, okay?"

Recently, Chen Nan has handled several such domestic disputes with Captain He and his team. According to Captain He, couples who can still fight and argue generally have a chance to continue living together. However, if a couple's argument escalates to the point of involving the police, and the police arrive and the couple quickly calms down and falls silent, the situation may become even more dire.

Based on her previous experience, she subconsciously offered a few words of advice, and in the end, Chen Nan handed over the home field to Captain He.

The other person has been a frontline police officer for many years, dealing with these kinds of cases almost every day. Therefore, Chen Nan feels she should learn a thing or two about mediating marital conflicts.

"Yes, it's all for the good of our family, so please calm down. Um—"

“Sun Bin, my son’s name is Sun Bin, and my daughter-in-law’s name is Wang Tingting.”

Two people rushed over and quickly answered. The man, in his forties, suddenly appeared to be holding a kitchen knife, while the woman, also in her forties, had tears in her eyes. It was clear they were the man's parents; they were the ones who had snatched the knife from their son.

"Sun Bin, you're not even twenty-five yet, are you? You already have a child before you're twenty-five, you live in such a nice neighborhood, and you have such a capable wife. So many people would envy that. You're not even twenty-five yet, what are you in such a hurry for? What are you worried about? For such a trivial matter, are you willing to ruin your wonderful family? Are you willing to make your parents sad?"

Captain He, who had extensive experience in mediating disputes, immediately began to intervene.

Sun Bin was somewhat persuaded and immediately grabbed his wife, bursting into tears: "I didn't want to, but they're forcing me, they're forcing me. Working outside is so hard and dangerous, but they keep forcing me every single day!! They keep forcing me every single day!!"

"Okay, okay, okay, we know you're upset. Please let go of your wife's fingers on her neck. If you keep doing this, she'll feel uncomfortable."

"Yes, son, we know how hard you work. Tingting is only doing this because she's afraid you'll encounter danger outside. Didn't a mutated creature appear on the street here not long ago?"

"Yes, we adults can get infected if we're unlucky. But your Yueyue is only two years old. If something happens to her with her physique, she'll die. We adults, we die, we've lived for decades, and we've seen and enjoyed life. But what about Yueyue? She's grown up and hasn't even been to a decent park or playground. If you're so heartless, you'll let something happen to her at such a young age, and then she won't have a mother."

"Yes, Binbin should listen to your parents!"

"Yes, Binbin, quickly let go of your wife's neck, her face looks strange."

"Yes, let her go first. I'll stand up for you today. I'm a police officer. You can ignore what other people say, but you must listen to the police."

"Yes, yes, you should let her go right now. We'll get justice for you."

"Yes, yes, if that doesn't work, we can take you to our police station for a visit and mediation later."

Everyone spoke kindly and gently, from Sun Bin's parents and Chen Nan and her two companions to the dozen or so neighbors around them; everyone adopted the gentlest approach. Many neighbors in the buildings on both sides also poked their heads out and loudly urged them on.

Sobbing and looking extremely aggrieved, Sun Bin, amidst everyone's comments, finally slowly released his grip on his wife's neck.

The young teacher, who had been arrogant for a moment but then fell silent as the other person's grip tightened, slid to the ground after her husband released her. She gasped for breath and coughed violently. Although Sun Bin had released her neck, he still instinctively grabbed her long ponytail, and his other hand remained resting on her cheek and chin. He hadn't continued choking her, but his hand was still there.

Seeing the man's reaction and watching Captain He's calm persuasion, Chen Nan assumed that, like with the others they had encountered in the past few days, he would calm down with a little persuasion. Moreover, he was still crying and was gradually loosening his grip on his wife's hair.

But just as Captain He and the other man's parents were about to step forward and separate them, trying to calm them down, the man suddenly screamed, snatched the kitchen knife from his father's hand, and swiftly slashed at his wife.

"Ahhh!!!"

No one around him expected him to do this suddenly, and everyone instinctively screamed as they watched his actions.

Even the woman who had just been choked and had her ponytail grabbed, now kneeling on the ground after he released her neck, her hair still being held by her husband, turned deathly pale in an instant, her head tilted back, revealing a horrified and incredulous look in her eyes.

"Don't!!!"

On Captain He's side, he even subconsciously grabbed the cleaver that was about to be slashed down with his bare hands.

"Don't!!!"

Chen Nan and Yu Guangyuan, who were always in the learning phase, stood by Captain He's side the whole time and were always trying to persuade him.

Seeing that He Dui and Yu Guangyuan instinctively wanted to reach out to block the cleaver for the woman, Chen Nan realized what was happening and her hand was already in front of them.

The cleaver that struck in the blink of an eye landed in Chen Nan's hand, but amidst everyone's shrill screams, the bloody scene that everyone had expected did not occur.

Chen Nan was not injured. Instead, she gripped the cleaver's blade with a slight force, and suddenly countless light waves and lightning bolts appeared on the normally intact cleaver. These things quickly spun and flashed in Chen Nan's palm and on the large cleaver that everyone was watching, and then the light waves swiftly shot to Sun Bin's right hand, which was holding the cleaver's handle.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Feeling the pain and weakness in his right hand, Sun Bin instinctively wanted to let go. But at that moment, his hand seemed to be glued to the knife, unable to release it.

Feeling powerless and terrified, he screamed and instinctively waved his arms and body.

But at this moment, his right hand was sucked in by Chen Nan, and everyone was shocked to find that half of his arm was completely still, while the rest of his body was shaking wildly.

"Chen Nan is ready!"

Everything happened in just two or three seconds, but in an instant Sun Bin's face turned black and his hair stood up as if it were burnt. He Jun, who had also been startled, immediately shouted a warning.

Upon hearing the other person's voice, Chen Nan, who had been genuinely anxious for a moment, immediately waved her hand and snatched the kitchen knife from Sun Bin's hand.

As soon as the kitchen knife was taken away, Sun Bin, who had been trembling like someone with Parkinson's, immediately started gasping for breath and then collapsed to the ground.

At that very moment, his pants, which he was wearing, became half-wet in full view of everyone as he shook them.

"Son, son!!"

It all really happened in just a few seconds.

The stunned crowd seemed to only notice at this moment that Chen Nan's clothes were different from those of ordinary police officers.

Realizing she was a supernatural police officer who had just used her powers, everyone felt both surprised and intrigued, and instinctively fell silent.

In the silence, Sun Bin's parents reacted the fastest, rushing over to notice their son's condition.

When lightning suddenly appeared in Chen Nan's hand, they, like everyone else around them, were startled and quickly dodged backward.

But now that everything seems to have settled down, their biggest worry is their only son.

"Son, son, how are you?!"

The two men quickly checked on their son. His face was black and bloodless, and his hair appeared to be singed. Most terrifyingly, even though the supernatural policeman had stopped, their son was still curled up, his hands bent like chicken claws, trembling violently and gurgling intermittently.

Are you alright?

After Chen Nan stopped, the kitchen knife in her hand was quickly taken away by Captain He next to her.

As Captain He, clutching a kitchen knife, quickly followed Sun Bin's parents to check on their son's condition.

Chen Nan and Yu Guangyuan exchanged a glance, then simultaneously helped Wang Tingting, who was pale but had remained quiet.

"Are you alright? Can you stand up?"

"Yes, I'm fine!"

The young woman, who had just been nearly killed by her husband, calmly said she was fine, but when Chen Nan and Yu Guangyuan helped her up, she had no strength in her limbs. Her feet slid several times on the ground before she could slowly sit down on the stone bench in the pavilion with their support.

"Even superpowered police officers can't go this far! They made my child incontinent! You better pray he doesn't have any serious health problems, or I'll definitely sue you at the Presidential Palace and bankrupt you!!"

Just as Chen Nan and Yu Guangyuan had settled Wang Tingting down, He Jun immediately instructed the man's father to call for an ambulance. The middle-aged woman in her forties, who had been holding her son and checking on him, finally couldn't hold back any longer and suddenly turned to Chen Nan, speaking harshly.

"You—"

Before Chen Nan could speak, Wang Tingting, whom Chen Nan had just helped up, suddenly sat up straight, leaning against the table in front of her. "Old woman, you mean your son's incontinence is more important than my head and life? More important than a few policemen's fingers? Fine, sue me then! Sue her for making your precious son incontinent to protect me. I'll do the same and sue your son for attempted murder in full view of everyone. We want to see who the court will deal with first, who will be locked up in the border jail first!"
