If you were made a mascot, you would become a legend in the police force.

"Boss, I'll take this bird." Although Lin Wan couldn't appreciate the beauty of this bald bird, what could she do when her boss was a deputy director level? When the boss speaks, she just had to do it.

Just as she was about to reach into her pocket for money, the old man next to her, who had been hesitant to speak, suddenly reached out and pulled her back, his eyes filled with urgency.

"Girl, you mustn't!" The old man lowered his voice, his tone like a secret agent making contact. "I've been raising birds my whole life, and this isn't some black phoenix! It's just a wild crow that's been dyed! They even clipped its feathers to disguise it as a myna. Smell this pungent chemical smell; it's definitely a sick bird. It won't live past tonight! This is a complete scam!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan's eyebrows shot up instantly.

As the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team, she hates two things the most in her life: crime and treating people like fools.

"You old geezer, cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents, don't you understand?!"

The two stall owners had very sharp ears; as soon as they heard that the scam had been exposed, their expressions changed immediately.

One of the men, with a burly face and a tattoo of a ribbonfish (or possibly a dragon) on his arm, suddenly shoved the old man, who staggered backward and almost fell into the fish tank next to him.

"You've ruined my business! Believe me or not, I'll make sure you leave here straddling a chair!" the burly man cursed, grabbing a solid iron bar used for carrying birdcages and pointing it at Lin Wan and the old man. "If you know what's good for you, get lost! And you two, are you buying or not? If not, don't block the way and delay my business!"

The surrounding customers were so frightened they retreated as if they'd seen a ghost, instantly creating a vacuum in the area. Anyone who messes with this local tyrant is doomed.

Lin Wan's eyes turned cold, and her hand instinctively reached for her lower back—although she was off duty today and didn't bring her gun, the police silver bracelet was a must-have fashion item.

"Police! Put down your batons!"

Just as Lin Wan was about to show her ID, a large, hairy, and incredibly heavy hand suddenly pressed down on her shoulder.

The force was steady and powerful, carrying an aura of "Get out of the way, I'm about to show off."

Li Tuantuan gently pushed Lin Wan behind her.

Are you kidding me? This kind of glorious moment of punishing bullies requires the pet owner to do it personally? What am I, a "deputy-section-level special operations specialist," for then? To sit around doing nothing?

Li Tuantuan took a step forward, her huge body like a wall.

The burly man looked at the fat man in the oversized trench coat and sunglasses, and felt inexplicably uneasy. But seeing that the other man's hands were empty, he felt confident: "What? Want to practice? Don't you even know who's in charge of this area! Is the flower and bird market a mess? I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Tuantuan moved.

He didn't speak (nor could he), but slowly raised his paw and took off the specially made tactical sunglasses.

Under the sunlight, his signature dark circles, which exuded a lazy yet mocking and nonchalant air, and his round face recognized by the entire nation, were exposed to the air without any defense.

The air seemed to freeze for a fraction of a second.

Immediately, the crowd erupted in uproar.

"Holy crap! That's... a panda?"

"Alive! It really is a panda! That violent cop who sat on and killed a wanted criminal!"

"Oh my god! Mom, I've made it big! I saw a panda with the rank of deputy director strolling around!"

The iron rod in the burly man's hand clattered to the ground. Of course, he recognized the bear. It had been on the news a few days ago; this guy could smash a security door into a potato chip with one slap, and even an A-level wanted criminal would kneel down and sing "Conquer" in its presence.

Li Tuantuan stared at the burly man, her gaze as calm as if she were looking at a plate of bamboo shoots about to be served.

He slowly walked toward the stall, each step coinciding with the heartbeat of the burly man.

The burly man and his accomplice retreated step by step, their legs trembling as if they were breakdancing, their backs instantly soaked with cold sweat.

"Um... Officer... no, Mr. Bear... Mr. Bear... let's talk this out, we'll pack up right away..."

Li Tuantuan completely ignored their pleas for mercy.

He walked up to the bamboo cage containing the crows and held up one finger.

"Click."

The iron lock hanging on the cage, supposedly designed to be theft-proof and tamper-proof, was like freshly cooked tofu dregs in his hands; with a gentle squeeze, it snapped in two.

Simple, straightforward, and stress-relieving.

Li Tuantuan picked up the cage containing the crows, didn't even glance at the two stall owners, and turned to leave.

This is the legendary "zero-yuan purchase".

But he walked with the steps of ruthlessness, and walked out into the light of the righteous path.

How could the two stall owners dare to ask for money? They were just hoping that this plague god wouldn't suddenly decide to slap them, because if he did, their medical insurance cards would be maxed out.

"Hey! You haven't paid yet!" Lin Wan called out from behind, instinctively reaching for her wallet.

After all, he's a public official; it wouldn't look good if word got out that he didn't pay for the things he bought.

Li Tuantuan stopped and turned back to give Lin Wan a low growl: "Hmm!"

Then he extended his claws, pointed at the two stall owners, and put his two claws together, making a standard "handcuffing" gesture.

Lin Wan was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and a cold smile appeared on her lips.

Yes! These two are suspected of fraud, illegal trading and abuse of wild animals, and they even threatened the crowd with weapons just now!

Pay me? Give me a damn! Just throw in a "pure prison style" package – that's the way to go!

She immediately stuffed her wallet back in, pulled out gleaming handcuffs, and waved them at the two still-stunned stall owners, her tone icy: "Suspected of fraud and disorderly conduct, come with me. The police car is outside; transportation provided."

The two stall owners, upon seeing the silver bracelet, collapsed to the ground, their faces ashen.

Li Tuantuan, carrying the cage, concealed her merit and fame, and walked out of the crowd.

At that moment, he felt incredibly cool, and the background music should have started playing.

However, what he didn't know was that in the gaps in the crowd not far away, a blond young man holding a phone was excitedly pressing the record button, his mouth practically stretched to his ears.

He is "Lele," a minor internet celebrity who is desperate for fame and makes easy money by riding on trending topics and stirring up conflict.

He filmed the whole scene—of course, after his "artistic processing."

He did not film the stall owner bullying the elderly, nor did he film the stall owner committing fraud, nor did he film Lin Wanliang in handcuffs.

He only captured Li Tuantuan taking off his sunglasses to act arrogant, intimidating the "honest and simple" stall owner, violently breaking the lock, and then leaving with the cage without giving him a penny.

Lele watched the video on his phone, his hands trembling with excitement, as if he could see countless banknotes beckoning to him.

"This is going to explode! This is absolutely going to be a hit! I'm definitely going to cash in on this wave of traffic!"

He added a sensational headline below the video, enough to send keyboard warriors into a frenzy:

**Shocking! Police officer's internet-famous panda accomplices bully and rob vulnerable vendors at a flower and bird market! Is this the so-called "national treasure privilege"? Where is the rule of law?**

Click to send.

A media storm targeting Li Tuantuan is quietly brewing online.

Meanwhile, Li Tuantuan was sitting in the back seat of the van, with the cage on her lap, staring at the crows inside through the gap.

The crow huddled in the corner, shivering, its already sparse body looking even more forlorn.

Its heartfelt words, filled with despair, reached Li Tuantuan's ears directly:

"Oh no, Barbie Q is dead. That bastard's grip on the lock just now was terrifying, like crushing an ant. He probably thinks I'm too skinny, with no meat on my bones, and wants to take me back and fatten me up with that special pig feed before eating me. What did I do to deserve this? I just escaped one wolf's den only to fall into another. In my next life, I want to be a stone..."

Hearing this heartfelt message, Li Tuantuan grinned, revealing two rows of bright white teeth.

Don't be afraid, little one.

From now on, I'll treat you to the best of everything. We're the "Black and White Duo" who're going to do big things.

Now, come back to the station with me, and I'll give you a shower to get rid of this bad luck.
