I am weak and friendly

Chapter 51 can't possibly be someone with an innate criminal investigation physique, can it?
As Li Tieqiang emerged from the Qihang Building, watching the crowd escort Professor Liu Chengyuan into a business vehicle, he lagged slightly behind.

Then he waved to his companion and quietly slipped into another car parked on the side of the road.

"Master, where are we going next?" asked the capable young man waiting in the driver's seat.

“Let’s go take another look around that alley…” Li Tieqiang said to his apprentice Zhao Xinyi, then took off his hat, tore off his tie, and threw it on the back seat.

“Okay, Master.” Zhao Xinyi immediately started the car.

Li Tieqiang, sitting in the back seat, ripped open his white police uniform shirt, took it off, and threw it aside, revealing two conspicuous scars on his upper body. One scar ran across his side abdomen, was 20 centimeters long, and was stitched into the shape of a centipede. The other scar was star-shaped and radiating outwards, near his chest.

He casually crumpled up his shirt and stuffed it behind his seat, then pulled out a striped polo shirt and put it on, covering the scars on his body. Instantly, he transformed from a white-shirted sheriff into a rather ordinary-looking, dark-faced middle-aged man.

Then he turned to look out the window, his gaze somewhat unfocused.

Although the news was kept under wraps on a small scale, the attack on Liu Chengyuan still shocked the entire system.

The case was classified as "attack" rather than "robbery" because it was so strange, and Liu Chengyuan's special identity made it hard not to suspect something.

The two blond-haired men who attacked Liu Chengyuan disappeared without a trace after the attack. After comparing the fingerprints left on Liu Chengyuan's backpack and body, two young men of the same age were indeed found. However, these two young men were not the blond-haired men and were out of town at the time of the incident. Although they had many troubles, one of them was working away from home and was entangled in online loans, and the other was studying at a third-rate university. He had just been involved in a suicide attempt due to a breakup and family troubles. Both of them were capable of committing robbery at the slightest provocation. However, their colleagues, classmates, and roommates could all testify that they were not present at the scene.

It's like... the two of them were deliberately misled to divert attention from the investigation.

The attacker's mysterious disappearance and the loss of all clues were suspicious enough, leading everyone to believe it was a premeditated attack.

If it weren't for a strange young man in a wheelchair suddenly appearing and saving Liu Chengyuan, Liu Chengyuan would probably have perished here.

Yes, a fall from grace. Liu Chengyuan's achievements certainly deserve those two words.

The appearance of this strange boy made the case even stranger...

It's a coincidence, and it's not normal.

If this was a meticulously planned attack, how could it be interrupted by a teenager in a wheelchair?

Unless this wheelchair-bound boy has an extraordinary fighting ability, capable of taking on several opponents by himself.

But Li Tieqiang had seen it with his own eyes, and he didn't think Tang Yiping had that kind of fighting ability.

Would they be scared away by a suddenly appearing passerby who comes to their aid, or by a passerby in a wheelchair? This fits the characteristics of a random robbery.

But this doesn't fit the current situation where the two blond guys have disappeared.

Even if they are dead, there should still be a body!
"Master, have you seen Tang Yiping, the one who acted bravely and righteously?" Zhao Xinyi, who was driving, asked.

“I saw it…”

"What kind of person is he? Could he have connections? Could he possibly know anything?"

“He…” Li Tieqiang frowned, not knowing how to describe Tang Yiping for a moment.

A boy who shines?

A disabled but determined warrior?
A natural attention magnet?
Who saved everyone's lives?
A wheelchair-bound humanoid succubus?

In any case, when Li Tieqiang recalls Tang Yiping now, his first feeling is to smile.

What a good person! What a kind person!
But then he felt... something was off, making it hard for him to laugh.

"He probably didn't know any clues, but his intuition was extremely sharp..."

"How to say?"

"He told me that this was not a coincidence."

"Heh..." Zhao Xinyi laughed, "Another kid who wants to be Sherlock Holmes."

"Hmm... he might be a little different."

"It can't be some kind of innate criminal investigation genius, can it?" "Then what is it? It keeps spouting weird things."

Li Tieqiang didn't know how to describe Tang Yiping to his apprentice. After all, he hadn't seen him in person, hadn't seen him holding Liu Chengyuan's hand, and hadn't looked into his eyes, which seemed to be shining. He couldn't understand the feeling that young man gave off.

So he fell silent.

The vehicle circled around and around, seemingly in vain.

But Zhao Xinyi, in the driver's seat, didn't ask anything and just drove silently, clearly used to Li Tieqiang's approach.

While circling around in thought, Zhao Xinyi suddenly said, "Master, look, there's a young man in a wheelchair over there."

"Um……"

Li Tieqiang responded for a few seconds, and the car had already driven past when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Stop the car!"

With a creak, the car came to a stop some distance away.

Li Tieqiang turned his head to look behind him: "What's he doing here?"

"Who?"

"Tang Yiping!"

"Is that Tang Yiping? What's he doing hiding there?" Zhao Xinyi also looked back in the rearview mirror. "He looks very ordinary, nothing special. He doesn't seem like someone with an innate criminal investigation physique."

"Yes, what is he doing hiding there?" Li Tieqiang wondered.

……

It wasn't unusual for someone to come out of such a narrow alley, but at that moment Tang Yiping sensed that "repulsive novelty" was approaching.

A thought struck him, and he instinctively backed away, shrinking into a corner by the roadside.

The footsteps grew closer, and soon a man emerged from the alley.

It was the height of summer, so hot it was almost unbearable. Tang Yiping was already feeling sweltering in his short-sleeved shirt, but this man was dressed in a suit and tie, as if he had just stepped out of a high-end office building rather than from a dilapidated alley.

Not a single drop of sweat was visible.

As he walked, he was still on the phone: "Yeah... those two idiots, they always act like big shots because of their status, and they can't even handle this little thing. You better deal with it... I don't care how you handle it! Stop talking nonsense, and stop coming to me with every little problem!"

He appeared to be reprimanding his subordinate before assigning him other tasks:

"Keep a close eye on those other two 'things.' If you can intercept their target in advance, it will be a great achievement, and I will recommend you for credit... If you fail, hmph... you know what I'm capable of!"

Tang Yiping quietly maneuvered his wheelchair to follow from behind, wanting to hear more, but the sound was intermittent and somewhat incomprehensible.

Who are those two idiots? Two blond guys?

What are those two "things"?
Regardless, Tang Yiping felt that he had found the mastermind behind everything.

Judging by his commanding demeanor, he's definitely a big boss!

He quietly increased the speed of the wheelchair a little.

He dared not get too close, after all, although the wheelchair was very quiet, it still made noise, and he was afraid of disturbing the other person or being discovered by them.

Moreover, the closer they got, the more obvious the "fresh" scent emanating from the man became, which instinctively disgusted Tang Yiping.

Just smelling this scent, Tang Yiping thought of little Liu Zitong, trapped behind the wall of error, and Liu Chengyuan, who had lost all interest in life due to epilepsy.

Tang Yiping couldn't help but get angry as he listened to his subordinates reprimanding them for their poor performance.

Their health, intelligence, ambition, and even their entire future have been stolen from them, haven't they?!
Is this still not enough? Is this not enough effort? Then what else do you intend to take away?
