Transform into a human

"Tch, arresting criminals? What does that have to do with me!" Downton scoffed, still refusing to move aside.

Bryce had no interest in getting entangled with a petty thief, so he ordered the fleet to change course. However, the Golden Thief was undeterred and once again used its V8 engine to turn around and block the fleet's firing range, determined to engage.

Downton was also fearless. No matter how much he obstructed law enforcement, it was not worth the fleet opening fire directly. As long as he angered the police, he could successfully match them. He was 50% confident of escaping the pursuit. The opportunity to become famous throughout the capital planet was right in front of him!

Falken was furious, but it was just impotent rage. Bryce, however, who was usually calm, gave an order that surprised everyone:

"Warning shot."

The superintendents looked at each other, realizing that if they really committed so many violations today, the entire Star Harbour branch would be implicated.

Bryce looked at the warhead operator: "Didn't you hear what I said?"

"...Yes, sir."

Seeing that the fleet stopped changing course, Downton thought the match was successful, but suddenly, dozens of steam jets "whooshed" past behind him, instantly illuminating the dark starry sky outside the porthole, as if he were in a dreamlike meteor shower!

The Downtons were dumbfounded.

Dude, is this serious?!

"Boss, the right rear porthole is melted!"

As Kerr spoke, a suction force came from the stern of the boat—after all, it was a civilian vessel, and even though the police had tried their best to avoid it, they still inevitably grazed it.

Even the Golden Snitch couldn't withstand the high temperatures emanating from the steam jet!

Downton was horrified:

"Hey bro, hurry up and plug it up!!"

"Brother!" Kerr sobbed uncontrollably, "...This time, my departure is like 'throwing a meat bun to a dog—gone and never to return.' Please take care, brother. If you succeed in your advancement one day, don't forget to pour a bowl of hot wine at my grave and say, 'Brother, we've come to see you!'"

"What kind of time is this to be spouting nonsense!"

Downton was furious. While grabbing the control panel to resist the suction, he pulled out a machete from who-knows-where and slammed it into Kerr. The latter made a sound like porcelain shattering and turned into pieces all over the ground with a bang.

His mouth was still shouting on the ground:

"Boss, could you be a little gentler next time?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The crack grew larger and larger. Kerr no longer hesitated; the scattered fragments flew towards the gap, miraculously sealing the broken porthole perfectly. Then, the gaps between the fragments gradually disappeared, eventually fusing together.

This is the secret to "scum"—[fragmented].

Kerr's face appeared on the wall, looking at Downton slumped helplessly in his chair, and he comforted him:

"Boss, are you alright?"

"I'm thinking about two things."

Which two items?

"Did that guy in front break some cardinal rule? The police have already mobilized a fleet, but why are they in such a hurry?"

"And the other one?"

"How much bail do we need to post to get out this time?"

"..."

Meanwhile, the atmosphere on the Far Star was far from "peaceful." Due to the delay caused by the Golden Snitch, the sailing warship, although still within the radar's detection range, had already far exceeded the range of the Tearstone main gun.

Given the Homecoming's slightly superior speed, they wouldn't be able to do much until Esfri's intercepting police force arrived.

"Chief Superintendent?"

"Chase after him! Notify Esfri's side that the suspect is likely a 'Bashi Lang,' and the people sent to intercept him should at least be 'Zan Hua Ke'!"

"yes!"

Police Hub, Singapore Branch.

After being mocked by Old Man Ji, Li returned to the dock area. She stood in the open space for a long time, feeling lost, before she came to her senses.

"Li, you're so naive. If he has such a miraculous method, what's impossible about him lying with such a sincere heart?"

What's most infuriating is that she can't even report it!

On one hand, she would be considered an accomplice, and on the other hand... she had sworn an oath!

"Ugh, this is so annoying! Why did I ever choose the path of cultivation?!"

Yes, the true name of the Pure Child Path is "Cultivation".

Just as she was getting annoyed, she suddenly received a message from Donald:

"Wallace, where have you been? The boss has been looking for you for ages. You'd better have an excuse ready..."

Wander's laughter came from the other end: "Maybe she was kidnapped by thugs in the bathroom."

Li blushed so deeply that her face seemed to bleed; she now wished she could hang Wan De up and whip him!

She could only stammer, "I...I was kidnapped by a criminal in the bathroom..."

Donald: ?

Wande: ?

Donald said quietly, "When did you children learn to joke?"

Li remained silent.

"Holy crap!" came Wander's exclamation from the other end of the intercom, "You've really been kidnapped? And in the bathroom?!"

Donald: "Keep your voice down!"

The veteran police officer quickly asked, "Wallace, how are you now? Are you alright?"

"Thugs, thugs, let me go..."

Although he didn't lie, just stating part of the truth was enough to make Li feel so ashamed that he wanted to disappear!

"That's good……"

"Wande and I were chasing the murderer with our leader. He somehow got hold of some strange artifact. It's good that you're safe now."

Donald's voice softened slightly:

"I won't ask about anything else, but if the criminals escape, we can help you keep it a secret. But if they are caught... you'd better prepare in advance."

"You should understand what I mean."

Communication ended.

Li's emotions, which she had finally managed to calm down, surged again. Like a mad cat, she bared her teeth and claws, tearing at the imaginary man in front of her.

"It's all your fault, all your fault! Now, forget about becoming the second director, I'll be lucky if I don't get kicked out of the police headquarters!"

She was kidnapped by a thug in the women's restroom, but the ruthless killer kindly let her go.

If she hadn't been so innocent and pure-hearted, her teammates wouldn't have believed such nonsense!

Even if she passes the review by using the deficit method, her reputation will be completely ruined!

Besides, there's no way she could pass the vetting process!

"Aaaaah, Yue Lai, I'm going to tear you to pieces!"

After venting her anger at the air for a long time, she finally calmed down. Fortunately, the dock area was now empty, and no colleagues saw her acting crazy.

After her anger subsided, a sudden, intense bloating came from her stomach, and Li remembered what she had originally intended to do.

She just wanted to use the restroom!

It feels like a lifetime ago.

A few minutes later, the policewoman returned to the familiar spot, habitually entering the cubicle by the window. Just as she was about to unbuckle her belt, a sudden, inexplicable thought occurred to her:

"He won't show up again, will he...?"

Then he laughed self-deprecatingly:

"How could that be, Li? You're starting to have PTSD..."

"That guy is on his way home... being chased on his ship."

With that thought in mind, she loosened her belt with peace of mind, and then a man appeared in front of her without warning.

Yue Lai subconsciously looked down: "Bai..."

"Snapped!"

"You filthy scoundrel, just die!!"
