After the internet was disconnected, I connected to the magic world.

Less than half a minute after Xiao Lu jumped out of the window and ran away, the bodyguard who had been kicked away clutched his stomach and slowly stood up, leaning against the wall.

His face turned pale with pain; that kick had almost made him vomit his dinner from the night before. It took him a long time to catch his breath.

He didn't dare to chase after him, knowing he couldn't catch up.

Someone could kick him two or three meters away; chasing after him would only lead to his death.

He shakily pulled out his phone and called his boss first.

As soon as the call connected, the voice of Zhang, the rich second-generation's father, came through the phone, his loud voice so loud it made the receiver crackle:

"Xiao Wang? What's wrong? Why are you calling so late? Has the young master had too much to drink again?"

The bodyguard swallowed hard, his voice trembling, "Boss... young master... young master is gone."

"What do you mean it's gone? You fucking explain yourself!"

"He's dead! Young Master has been murdered!" The bodyguard was almost crying.

"He must be a martial artist! One of those people you read about online who's cultivated internal energy! I tried to stop him, but I couldn't. He kicked me away with one kick. I couldn't beat him at all!"

"Useless trash! What am I keeping you for?!" Boss Zhang roared on the other end of the phone.

"You can't even protect one person! If my son dies, you might as well not live either!"

"Boss, I really couldn't stop him!" the bodyguard said, feeling extremely aggrieved.

"That's a martial artist! One punch can punch a hole in a wall. I'm just an ordinary person, how could I possibly fight them!"

Mr. Zhang was panting heavily on the other end of the phone, unable to speak for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and cursed:

"Call the police! Call the police! I don't care what kind of martial artist he is, I want him to pay with his life!"

Actually, he doesn't need to report it.

The women in the villa were terrified and scrambled out, immediately calling 110 (the police emergency number).

The police arrived in less than ten minutes, set up a cordon, took photos as evidence, and brought the bodyguard and several women back to the station to give statements.

The bodyguard insisted that the assailant was a martial artist, saying that the other party shattered the tiles with a punch and kicked him two or three meters away.

The police didn't believe it at first, but they did when they saw the broken tiles on the bathroom floor, the fist mark on the wall, and the bruised footprint on the bodyguard's stomach.

The technical team collected fingerprints, DNA, and a few strands of hair from Xiao Lu's head at the scene. After comparing them with the database, they instantly identified him.

Lu Ming, 24 years old, a local, an ordinary company employee. Six months ago, his girlfriend was murdered. The victim was the rich second-generation. He petitioned and complained many times, but his complaints were suppressed.

But the police officers at the county police station were in a dilemma.

The opponent is a martial artist!

How can you catch an ordinary person? If you miss with one shot, they can run faster than a car, and you might even kill someone.

The director dared not delay and immediately reported to the municipal bureau.

The Municipal Public Security Bureau also took it seriously. Coincidentally, Captain Wang of the Criminal Investigation Team in the Bureau had just developed internal strength a few days ago.

He was an officially registered martial artist in the system. The director approved it on the spot, assigning Captain Wang to lead the team, armed them, and allowed them to fire their weapons if necessary. He was determined to take the man down.

Captain Wang was a graduate of a military academy. After he developed internal strength, the bureau immediately provided him with subsequent breathing techniques and basic martial arts skills.

There are also accompanying pills. Although I've only been practicing for less than half a month, I'm already much stronger than martial artists who don't follow the proper methods.

The next morning, just as dawn broke.

Team Leader Wang, accompanied by four plainclothes detectives, sneaked into the old residential area where Xiao Lu rented a room.

At this moment, Xiao Lu was packing his things in the rented room.

It was his first time committing murder, and he had absolutely no experience in counter-surveillance. He ran back last night and sat on the bed for half the night.

He didn't realize he needed to run until dawn was approaching. As he was stuffing clothes and money into his backpack, he heard a dense chorus of footsteps in the stairwell, which stopped at his doorstep.

Xiao Lu froze instantly.

Now that he was a martial artist, his hearing and eyesight were sharp. The footsteps were heavy and steady, indicating that there were at least four or five people coming for him.

run!

Without a second thought, he slung his backpack over his shoulder, rushed to the window, pushed it open, and from the third floor, he grabbed the drainpipe outside and slid down using both his hands and feet.

"Knock knock knock!"

A knock sounded on the door, and Officer Wang's voice came through: "Police, open the door!"

After knocking twice with no response, Captain Wang's expression changed; he thought he had just heard some noise from the window.

"not good!"

Team Leader Wang took a step back and kicked the door hard.

"Clang!"

The old wooden door was kicked open, and several people rushed in, only to find the room empty.

With the window open, Captain Wang rushed to the window and looked down, just in time to see Xiao Lu slide down the drainpipe to the first floor. He then took off running out of the community.

"Chase!"

Team Leader Wang was also reckless. Without saying a word, he flipped over and jumped out of the window, grabbed the drainpipe and slid to the ground, then gave chase.

When the other detectives saw that their captain had jumped, they quickly ran downstairs as well.

Xiao Lu ran ahead, and Captain Wang chased after him.

Both of them possessed internal strength, and when they ran, they were as fast as the wind. The elderly men and women who were out early to buy groceries only felt a gust of wind pass by before the two figures disappeared, leaving them dumbfounded.

Captain Wang was, after all, a policeman who had learned systematic martial arts. His stamina and speed were better than Xiao Lu's, who was untrained. He was getting closer and closer and was about to catch up.

Xiao Lu got anxious, took off his backpack, and threw it hard at Captain Wang.

Team Leader Wang dodged to the side, but he was just a step too slow. By then, Xiao Lu had already turned the corner and rushed onto the busiest vegetable market street in the morning.

The streets were packed with people during the morning rush hour, mostly people buying groceries or going to work.

Xiao Lu's eyes reddened, and he channeled his inner strength throughout his body. With his head down, he charged into the crowd. The person in front of him was sent flying, crashing to the ground and groaning. His vegetable basket rolled all over the place.

"Get out of the way! All of you, get out of the way!"

When Captain Wang caught up with them and saw the crowd lying on the ground, his expression changed, and he dared not pursue them any further.

If we keep chasing him, and he gets angry and starts hitting people indiscriminately, even more people will die.

He stopped and quickly helped the elderly and children who had been knocked down. He took out his phone to call 120 and asked the people around him to help check if anyone was injured.

When he helped everyone up and looked up again, the street was crowded with people, and there was no trace of Xiao Lu.

Within two minutes, four detectives came running over, panting. When they saw their captain standing there, they knew they had lost track of him.

"Captain Wang, where is he?"

"He got away." Captain Wang's face was grim. "He disappeared into a crowd. Notify headquarters to review all the surrounding surveillance footage and do facial recognition. We must find out where he went."

He paused, then added, "Pass the word down: next time you encounter this, as long as there are no civilians around, you are allowed to fire. This kid is already blinded by rage; we can't let him hurt any more ordinary people."

The group nodded, and while arranging for people to take the injured people to the hospital, they went back to the station to check the surveillance footage.

After reviewing the surveillance footage for more than three hours, Xiao Lu's image was finally spotted in the camera at the entrance of the bus station.

He wore a baseball cap, mingled in the crowd entering the station, bought a bus ticket to another city, and probably wanted to run away.

Captain Wang jumped to his feet, grabbed his police cap and service pistol: "Let's go! To the bus station! Notify the station police station and traffic police to coordinate a plainclothes operation. We can't let him escape this time!"
