At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

The dimly lit alleyway of the residential complex, Shu Yinyin lunged at Gu Yu like a fierce ghost baring her teeth and snarling.

"Shu Yinyin, you've gone mad!"

Gu Yu's expression turned grave as he stepped to the side to avoid her attack before she could reach him.

"Hahaha, I am mad, I truly am mad!"

"Gu Yu! You ruined everything for me! I don't want to live anymore, I want you to die with me!"

Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, Shu Yinyin burst into loud laughter, her hair disheveled, looking utterly deranged.

Now, all she could see was Gu Yu. In her eyes, Gu Yu had destroyed her academic career, her future, her life.

She could have smoothly completed her program, graduated, and then, with the help of her uncle and parents, joined a well-known entertainment company and become a celebrity adored by thousands.

Luxury and riches were hers to enjoy without end!

But Gu Yu's arrival not only got her expelled but also saddled her with the prospect of prison. Her uncle abandoned her, and Bi Jian, that bastard, had turned his back on her.

Her life was ruined.

So now she also wanted to ruin Gu Yu, to have him pay with his life for everything she had lost!

"I must advise you, drop the knife in your hand, and you still have the chance to make amends!"

Gu Yu extended his right hand, pointing to the watermelon knife in Shu Yinyin's hands, issuing a solemn warning.

It wasn't that he felt any pity for Shu Yinyin, but rather he feared she might further succumb to her madness and hurt others.

Not far away, the dumpling shop had already noticed the commotion. The chubby owner held a shovel in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, continuously glancing over here. He was probably calling the police.

Generally, near universities, there are police duty stations, so it's estimated that it wouldn't take more than ten minutes for the police to arrive.

But Shu Yinyin certainly wasn't going to wait quietly for ten minutes.

She raised the watermelon knife and hacked at Gu Yu once more, her knife technique utterly erratic—just wildly swinging.

This was exactly what troubled Gu Yu the most. Despite his Golden Tiger Rank Sanshou skills, he was at a loss how to deal with this mad-dog style of fighting.

Deflect a blade barehanded? This wasn't about martial virtue!

Armed with a watermelon knife, attacking, bullying him, a young man unarmed!

Fortunately, Gu Yu didn't take her lightly. With a swift movement, he dodged Shu Yinyin's attack!

Although he had no weapon in hand, his speed was far superior to Shu Yinyin's.

Avoiding Shu Yinyin's attack posed no problem!

The two were engaged in a chase.

Shu Yinyin kept chasing after Gu Yu, hacking away for five minutes, her steps slowing, several times stopping to gasp for air.

Gu Yu, with his agility, had managed to keep her at bay around a street tree for so long. In a fit of rage, she swung her knife and struck the trunk of the tree.

Wood chips flew, and the watermelon knife got stuck in the trunk.

Seizing the moment, Gu Yu quickly moved forward with a crotch step and delivered a direct palm strike to Shu Yinyin's chest.

Shu Yinyin, preoccupied with freeing the knife, didn't anticipate Gu Yu's surprise attack and took a solid blow to the chest, stumbling back several steps and falling to the ground.

Gu Yu withdrew his hand and forcefully pulled the watermelon knife from the trunk, then handed it over to Liu Ermao standing nearby.

He walked over to Shu Yinyin, his face stern as he spoke, "I know you hold a grudge against me, but you brought today's misfortune on yourself."

Stay tuned to empire

"If you had realized sooner that it's never too late to turn around, I wouldn't have taken any action against you."

"Now, just wait for the legal punishment! I hope you can be just as defiant in front of the judge."

Gu Yu moved closer, preparing to restrain Shu Yinyin.

Just at this time, a siren sounded at the intersection. A police car stopped at the side of the snack street, and five fully armed police officers carrying riot shields rapidly descended from the vehicle.

Their speed was swift. They rushed to the crime scene with the ferocity of a thunderclap, knocked the watermelon knife from Liu Ermao's hand, and pressed Liu Ermao heavily to the ground.

Yes, it was Liu Ermao...

The whole process took less than thirty seconds, and Liu Ermao himself hadn't even realized how he had been subdued.

He extended his hand for the silver handcuffs out of habit, just as he had when he was caught for violent debt collection...

"Wait... Why are you arresting me?!"

It was only when the police pulled him up and prepared to put him in the car that Liu Ermao realized something was amiss.

"Armed with a knife and intent to harm! Who else if not you?" An elder policeman slapped Liu Ermao on the head.

This was the quickest case he had solved in a long time, enough to set a new record in the department.

Mainly because the criminal had been so foolish to stand there holding a knife and zoning out, it took no effort at all to pin him down.

Today's accomplishments +1!

"No, you've got the wrong person! How could I possibly be the criminal? The real criminal is that woman!"

Liu Ermao struggled fiercely, desperately gesturing with his mouth towards Shu Yinyin, who had fallen to the ground.

At that moment, Gu Yu had already restrained Shu Yinyin's hands, and regardless of her struggles, he dragged her to her feet.

"The police are here, you can't run!"

Holding Shu Yinyin, Gu Yu approached the officers and said with a smile, "Officers, you've indeed arrested the wrong person. The real criminal is this woman."

The leading old policeman, however, did not respond to Gu Yu. He frowned deeply and waved his hand at his colleagues behind him.

Immediately, two officers stepped forward and pinned down... both Gu Yu and Shu Yinyin!

"I only saw this skinny guy holding a knife, and you holding this girl. As for who the actual criminal is, we need to investigate."

"Bring all three back to the station!"

With another wave from the old policeman, the three of them were about to be pushed into the police car.

Just as the car door was about to close, the owner of the potsticker shop suddenly came chasing with his spatula.

"Officer! Officer! You've caught the wrong person. This woman is the criminal! It was these two young men who subdued her!"

"You can't wrongly accuse an innocent person!"

The shop owner, with his spatula dripping potsticker oil, pointed at Shu Yinyin, his face showing a touch of urgency.

He had witnessed the entire incident and had hurried out to bear witness.

The old policeman glanced at the shop owner, then back at Gu Yu and the others, and seemed to understand there might have been a mistake.

His tone softened a bit.

"Hmm, I got it. Would you mind coming to the station to give a statement?"

The shop owner hesitated for a moment, glanced back at his shop where his wife was still busy, and decided it shouldn't be a problem for him to be away for a while. So he nodded and followed them into the police car.

"Thank you! Boss!"

Gu Yu thanked the shop owner, grateful to have him as a witness to prove his and Liu Ermao's innocence. It wasn't clear whether there was surveillance footage in the old neighborhood or not!

Without surveillance and no witness coming forward, he and Liu Ermao might have had to spend a day or two in the station.

He had to attend the International Auction to compete with Old Mr. Chen for the Golden Tiger Rank of the Zodiac Snake Head the day after tomorrow!

He couldn't afford any delays!

The police car, sounding its authoritative siren, took them back to the station.
