American comic: From Beijing with Love, starting with a mutant.

"Ouch! You shouldn't hit someone in the face!"

"This is the face of a section chief representing Bureau 749; if I'm disfigured, it'll be considered a work-related injury!"

In the night wind, Stephen Chow covered his left eye and squatted on the curb, drawing in the cold air.

Before the "Sunscreen Assassin" could finish his grand promise, Polaris's fist made intimate contact with his eye socket.

This girl is really ruthless.

"If you dare to mess with Amy again, I'll skewer you like a barbecue skewer." Polaris sneered, tossing her long green hair as she got into the driver's seat.

A soft-serve ice cream vendor handed him a scoop of mineral water-flavored ice cream. "Brother Zhou, apply this to your face; it'll help reduce the swelling..."

Stephen Chow gritted his teeth, took the ice cream, stuck it to his eyes, and grumbled as he climbed into the back seat.

"What a waste! This is a commercial miracle that will kill China's future! You spendthrift sister with no business sense!"

"Do you even know what a blue ocean market is? How many young men and women across the country are afraid of getting tanned? Eating ice cream while using physical sunscreen—once this concept is hyped up, wouldn't investors be waving their money around begging us to buy it?"

"Shut up!"

Just as Stephen Chow had placed the ice hockey puck over his eye sockets to close his eyes and rest, he realized something.

He straightened up and gripped the car door handle tightly.

"No! Wait a minute!"

Stephen Chow's eyes widened as he pointed at the green-haired guy in the front row: "You just downed several bottles of Wusu beer! Are you driving drunk here?"

"Public officials who knowingly break the law face an even heavier penalty! Even if you're caught, I can't protect you!"

"You've only had your job for a few days? And you dare to defy traffic regulations? The traffic police brigade isn't under Director Wang's jurisdiction!"

Polaris glanced back at him, chuckled, and leaned back in her chair with her arms crossed.

"Which eye of yours saw my hands on the steering wheel?"

Stephen Chow leaned his head in.

Good guy!

I don’t know, I’m scared.

This lady not only didn't touch the steering wheel, she even comfortably crossed her legs in the driver's seat!

"The car is running on its own, what does that have to do with my drunk driving?"

The four wheels were still five centimeters off the ground, and the whole vehicle glided along the ground, even turning on its right turn signal at the intersection.

Soft Ice Cream covered her mouth in the passenger seat, her shoulders twitching as she tried to suppress a laugh.

Stephen Chow's head was buzzing.

Not a buddy!

You call this not driving?

You've practically welded Newton's coffin lid shut with magnets!

"That's just sophistry!" Stephen Chow slapped his thigh. "If the traffic cop pulls you over, how are you going to explain it? Are you going to tell them this car came to life and started running on its own?"

What you fear most is what happens; sure enough, there are red and blue police lights flashing at the intersection ahead.

Several traffic police officers were checking each vehicle with breathalyzers.

"Holy crap! They're checking for drunk drivers! I'm doomed!"

"Your stinky Urumqi smell can be smelled from three blocks away! Quick, quick, Amy, get her some mint ice cream to get rid of the smell!"

Polaris snorted coldly and ignored him completely.

The jeep just slid straight up to the traffic police, and the window rolled down.

The traffic policeman saluted and handed over the testing device.

"Comrade, please blow air... uh?"

Stephen Chow covered his face in despair in the back seat.

Oh no, Bureau 749 is going to be on the front page of Jiuquan's social news tomorrow.

However, the police officer didn't say anything. His expression changed from blank to enlightened, and finally settled on a helpless look of "It's you again."

"It's Engineer Luo!" He tucked the testing device into his waistband and sighed.

"This is the third time, isn't it? Last time your car flew so close to the ground that the new guy, Xiao Wang, was so scared he called the police saying aliens had stolen a Jeep..."

Stephen Chow's mouth opened into an "O" shape.

What do you mean by "the third time"?!

The traffic policeman, unfazed, reached out and patted the hood of the car. "Slow down, please."

After saying that, the traffic policeman turned around and shouted to his colleagues behind him.

"Let her go! Same old rule, she can fly, we can't stop her!"

The young traffic policeman behind looked bewildered, holding the breathalyzer in his hand, watching the jeep drift away close to the ground.

"Master... what's her background?"

The veteran traffic policeman gazed at the departing taillights, his tone carrying a clarity honed by the trials of life.

"She can lift a three-ton car with her bare hands and send it flying at 200 miles per hour. You want to chase her?"

"Besides, traffic laws only govern engines, but this car runs on magnetic fields, which isn't mentioned in the law!"

The young traffic policeman opened his mouth, but swallowed back the outrageous remark that was about to come out.

The veteran traffic cop added one last thing: "Remember that face, the green-haired one. If you see a hovering jeep in the middle of the night, just drop it."

......

The car drove smoothly through the night.

Looking out the window at the night view of the Gobi Desert rushing by, Zhou Xingxing asked, "Where are we going? Don't tell me you're planning to leave me in the middle of nowhere to feed the wolves?"

The soft-serve ice cream vendor in the front row turned around and said, "Back to the Aerospace City residential compound."

"The family compound?" Zhou Xingxing was taken aback. "Old Gao allocated houses to you?"

Soft Ice Cream nodded. "Grandpa Gao originally approved a two-bedroom, one-living-room luxury apartment for Sister Lorna."

"My sister absolutely refused and insisted on changing to a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment."

Soft Ice Cream glanced at Polaris and continued, "My sister argued with Grandpa Gao for a while about this. She said we had to reserve a south-facing guest room for Director Zhou from our import office to stay in when he comes to inspect."

Stephen Chow looked at the beautiful green-haired woman in the front row in surprise.

Lorna crossed her arms and looked ahead, blowing bubbles from her chewing gum, which then popped with a "pop."

"Xiao Luo... I really didn't spoil you for nothing, thank you so much..."

The atmosphere was incredibly warm and cozy at that moment.

Just as the soft ice cream felt a lump in her throat and thought that Director Zhou was finally showing his tender side,

Stephen Chow immediately followed with a loud scream.

"Thank you so much for saving me the cost of tonight's guesthouse stay!!!"

"I can just issue an invoice for this money myself and get it out of Director Wang!!!"

The air grew quiet.

The warm filter shattered, the smile on Soft Ice Cream's face vanished, and she turned back to look at Stephen Chow in shock.

Polaris's lips were drawn straight, and a dangerous aura enveloped the entire back seat.

"Stephen Chow!"

"Bang!"

"Ouch! Holy crap! My right eye! My right eye!"

"I'm blind! I'm blind!"

Half an hour later.

Jiuquan Aerospace City, family compound.

With two symmetrical dark circles under his eyes, Stephen Chow pushed open the wooden door to the guest room, looking utterly hopeless.

The room was spacious and spotless.

The bed sheet has a pink floral pattern with two grinning Pikachu printed on it.

Is this Xiaoruan's aesthetic sense?

"Brother Zhou, you should get some rest!"

The sound of soft-serve ice cream coming from outside the door was followed by Polaris's cold snort and the sound of the door closing.

Stephen Chow stood still.

He walked to the mirror and looked at his perfectly symmetrical face.

There's a bruise on the left and a bruise on the right.

Perfectly symmetrical.

"This woman..." Stephen Chow lay sprawled on the soft bed, touching his eye sockets.

"That's incredibly ruthless..."

He shifted his weight on the pillow a couple of times.

"But this bed is so nice to sleep in, it's free."
