The car left the freeway and came to a secluded area. The man stopped the car, unclasped his seatbelt, and got out. Using the car as a shield, he concealed himself before pulling out his phone to make a call.
No one picked up at the other end of the line after several rings.
Frustrated, the man kick at a stone on the ground, swearing under his breath.
Instead of receiving a call, he drew the attention of Lu Nanchen and Yu Ziwen, who had been informed by the police about a car seen at an intersection that had taken a detour off the freeway. Yu Ziwen decided to investigate, and sure enough, found the man attempting to make a call.
From the man’s silhouette alone, Lu Nanchen was able to identify him. A rustling sound in the grass startled the man, who immediately turned and ran.
Lu Nanchen gave chase, matching the speed he had when he sprinted during his school’s track and field event.
The man, older and outmatched by Lu Nanchen’s physical strength, was caught up to quickly.
As the man ran, he kept looking back. Seeing that Lu Nanchen had caught up to him in just a minute, he quickly picked up a rock from the side and threw it at him.
Lu Nanchen slightly slowed down to dodge the rock. He then punched him in his right cheek. The blow staggered the man, almost causing him to lose his balance.
It wasn’t over yet. Lu Nanchen threw an additional punch to the man’s left cheek, then kicked him to the ground, stepping on his stomach for good measure.
This was the second time Lu Nanchen had been in a fight.
"What the hell are you doing? Let me go! What you’re doing is illegal!"
The man was in pain and becoming desperate, a thread of spittle hanging from the corner of his mouth— another result of Lu Nanchen’s assault.
In his desperation, he spotted Yu Ziwen approaching and cried out, "Help me, please!"
His plea made Yu Ziwen laugh. He reached into his pocket and took out a pair of handcuffs.
As soon as the man saw the handcuffs, he felt his heart sink. His struggle lessened, but he still cheekily said, "Officer, he hit me."
Yu Ziwen crouched in front of the man, twirling the handcuffs around a finger and chuckled, "So, you think I don’t know what you’ve been up to? "
"Do I look like some kind of vigilante to you?"
"I’m here to administer justice for my stupid little girl."
With that in a carefree tone, Yu Ziwen’s eyes turned cold. The man had attacked a pregnant woman. He was the scum of society, unworthy of any more of his words. So he handcuffed him and pushed him back into the car.
The man’s actions constituted attempted intentional injury.
Only then did Lu Nanchen straighten his clothes and settle into the passenger seat.
The whole ordeal took about twenty minutes. As the car was about to reach the police station, Lu Nanchen asked the person beside him, "Have plans after this? Maybe we can grab lunch together."
"Huh?" Yu Ziwen glanced at him before continuing to drive," No, you two go eat."
"She can’t stand me."
Yu Ziwen added after a beat, giving off a big brother vibe.

"Of course I don’t like her either. She’s as dumb as a rock. At least you were here today."
"I’m not going to have lunch with her. Her morning sickness might make me lose my appetite. "
Lu Nanchen: ...
