Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 352 The Source of Power

There were some problems at Kang's workshop today, so he had to stay and work overtime.

Emma hasn't been feeling well lately, and her family doesn't let her go out alone.

Milo was as busy as ever, so much so that he couldn't even remember when it was time for dinner.

So, in the evening, the arduous task of picking up Finn from school naturally fell to Yan. This guy is now very self-disciplined, and he goes to Valrokan's house for dinner as soon as it's time. It's quite reasonable for him to bring Finn home before he goes for dinner.

Since the incident of blocking the door on the night of the hunt, neither Kang nor Emma has been as hostile to Yan as before, even though his lifestyle hasn't improved much in the past six months.

...

As sunset approached, the clouds above everyone's heads were dyed a fiery red, and the entire city of Nanwei, which continued the medieval architectural style, was also slightly stained with "blood."

In front of Johanningham College.

Yan was talking to a woman who was very beautiful in both figure and face.

However, judging from the tone and attitude of both parties, the atmosphere of the conversation did not seem very friendly, and there was even a bit of confrontation.

...

The woman's clothing style was quite fashionable, at least among the most popular styles in Nanwei City at present. It continued some of the decorative styles of the Middle Ages, but was also more in line with the hotness and boldness of this era. She wore a corset, but not the kind of corset that was torture in the Middle Ages. She simply used the method of tightening to show off the curves of her body. She paired it with close-fitting black trousers and high heels. Visually, her legs were as long as those of a mixed race.

However, Yan, who stood opposite her, was not a hindrance. This guy already had a good-looking face, the kind of person who would be popular in both the annex and tower of the pleasure house. In particular, his unique gray-white hair and his natural roguish temperament, coupled with the fact that he seemed to have been training seriously in the boxing gym for the past six months, made him much more muscular than before.

"I can't take it anymore."

The woman's face was full of sorrow, her expression a mixture of grievance and frustration.

"Elaborate."

Although Yan was trying his best to control his facial expressions, his impatience still gave him away.

He lit a cigarette, but it was snatched away by the other person after he only took the first puff.

"Because of my cousin," the woman said, taking a drag of her cigarette with her fiery red lips, "It's all because of her."

Yan looked around absentmindedly and replied perfunctorily, "Cousin? What's her name again, Jessica? The one who fell down the stairs of the pub and broke her leg last month? What did she do to you?"

He really didn't expect to be cornered here.

Adhering to the principle of only engaging in physical relationships and not personal ones, Yan has never liked his girlfriends taking the initiative to join in and disrupt his life rhythm, especially blocking him in front of Little Finn's academy like this.

Damn it, I'm clearly the one who's the master at blocking the door!

……

However, his girlfriend continued to nag: "Jessica is getting married, and she's only been in Nanwei City for less than two months."

Yan rolled his eyes wildly.

Based on his deep understanding of female biology, he realized that his girlfriend's current feelings of frustration, resentment, sadness, and even hatred were not due to her cousin's marriage itself, but rather because her cousin had gotten married earlier than her...

Sure enough, before Yan could even look away, his girlfriend began to pour out her heart:
"We've been together for three months, do you even consider me a serious person...?"

"When I woke up this morning, I noticed another wrinkle on my face..."

"You really should have seen it in person, how Jessica's new boyfriend took care of her when she was unable to move around..."

"Oh, I feel like I'm just wasting my time on you..."

“blablablablabla…”

……

"Well, it's finally here."

Yan finally spotted Little Finn bouncing around among the many mischievous kids at the school gate.

He patted his girlfriend on the shoulder:

"Alright, honey, it's getting late, you should go back and rest. We can talk about the rest later."

Yan put his arm around his girlfriend's shoulder and turned her around, giving her a gentle push as if he couldn't wait for her to disappear from his sight.

But then he seemed to remember something, and reached out to pull the other person back, taking the cigarette that was meant for him from the other person's mouth.
"Let's go home, let's go home, mua."

He gave the other person a perfunctory kiss on the forehead and then ran off happily.

……

On the street, Yan led little Finn strolling towards the Valrocan house.

"Why did that pretty young lady kick the lamppost? Doesn't her foot hurt?"

Finn looked up, bewildered, and asked Yan.

"I don't know. We're boxers, we don't know much about leg techniques." Yan glanced back at his frantic girlfriend and shrugged nonchalantly.

At that moment, they heard the girlfriend's hysterical cursing coming from behind them: "@#￥%￥#@#%&**"

“She seemed to have called your name just now.” Finn looked up again.

"Really? You must have misheard." Yan ruffled Finn's hair. "Let's go, let's go home for dinner."

……

"By the way, Brother Yan, I got into a fight with the school bully who's two grades above me today. You can't tell my dad and my sister, okay?"

Finn raised his fist and swung it twice, indicating that he had won.

"What a joke, how could I say that? I'd be the one getting the worst scolding if I told them." Yan pouted.

He glanced back at his girlfriend, who was still cursing in the distance, then looked down at his palms thoughtfully. He slightly bent his fingers, and his knuckles made a series of cracking and popping sounds.

Finn didn't notice Yan's actions; he was still basking in the joy of his victory: "Hey, the trick you taught me last time was really useful. As long as you find a way to humiliate and tease your opponent, once he's enraged and loses his temper, the outcome is already in my own hands."

"Hey, that's right, that's exactly what I mean."

Yan nodded, very satisfied with Finn's performance: "The resentment of our opponents is the source of our strength, understand?" "Yes, yes, yes." Finn nodded vigorously: "Next time before a one-on-one fight, I'll spit a couple of wads of phlegm at him first."

"..."

The master and apprentice had a very pleasant conversation.

Just as the two were chatting away as they crossed the road, a horse in a carriage not far from them suddenly got startled, neighed, raised its front hooves high, and then dragged the carriage toward Yan and Finn's location!

"grass."

The large carriage went out of control and ran over the two of them.

Finn's face turned pale instantly.

People on both sides of the sidewalk screamed when they saw this, and some even covered their eyes, because no one wanted to witness the bloody scene of a child being run over by a horse-drawn carriage up close.

……

Boom!
Just when everyone thought the tragedy was inevitable.

Yan Maibu stepped to the side to block Finn, using his left hand to brace himself.

...

Finally, the frightened horses neighed and collapsed by the roadside.

On the road, broken pieces of wood and debris from the shattered carriage were flying everywhere.

The two wheels rolled a long way before coming to a stop.

The carriage, which was about to crush the two of them to the ground, was smashed to pieces in the blink of an eye.

Finn was unharmed, while Yan only suffered a minor scratch on his sleeve.

He was calmer than anyone else.

Besides the neighing of the injured horses, there were also women screaming incessantly.

By the time people came to their senses, Yan had already led Finn away from the middle of the road.

……

"Scared me."

Finn was rather thick-skinned; any other child would have cried for half an hour in this situation, but Finn just patted his chest and comforted himself, saying he needed to eat two extra bowls of rice for dinner to calm his nerves.

"Wow, Brother Yan, that's amazing! Could you come and tear down our college's classrooms sometime?"

"No way, your brother will beat me to death if you tear it down." Yan shook his head.

"Don't be afraid of him. I think you can beat him. I believe in you!" Finn said with a grin.

Forget it, forget it.

Yan waved his hand.

...

Finn skipped and hopped along in front of Yan.

Yan calmly turned around and glanced at the scattered carriages on the street behind him, then turned his gaze to his girlfriend, who was casting a resentful look at him from a distance.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a faint smile appeared on Yan's lips.

He whispered a phrase he had said to Finn earlier:

"Resentment is the source of power..."

……

That evening, Kang invited Yan to stay for dinner.

After the night of the hunt, the family's attitude towards Yan improved considerably. As for Finn, the boxing techniques Yan taught him had already transformed him from a punching bag to a counter-punching bag in the academy, and the next step would be competing for the title of school bully. He really admired Yan.

As for Finn's father, Kang, he probably felt that Yan was ultimately a kind-hearted kid, and his only flaw might be his lifestyle.

But you can't entirely blame him. He's middle class, and his family has plenty of money to support him. Besides, the top-tier VIP card at the pleasure house was a gift from Milo...

……

The second half of dinner.

Milo finally returned, followed by Enid, who was there to freeload.

As the head of the family, Kang was much like the eldest son in other families. While his family members were eating around the table, he would hold a newspaper and chat about this and that based on the news articles.

With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, he muttered casually, "This Ripper is interesting, huh..."

As he spoke, he put down the newspaper and glanced at Milo and Enid: "Aren't you two law enforcement officers? The newspaper says you're letting criminals get away with it."

"Which newspaper is it from?" Milo stopped eating.

“The Daily Bugle,” Kang replied.

Milo patted Enid on the shoulder:

"Send them a letter tomorrow and ask them if they still want to work here."

The latter nodded repeatedly: "Oh, okay."

Beside him, Finn, carrying a large chicken leg and with his mouth full of grease, looked at Yan beside him and asked curiously:

"Brother Yan, what are you laughing at?"

"Me? No, I just remembered something happy."
