It's better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go. If that were really the case, it would be a huge deal!

When they arrived at the scene, they found the entrance to Zhou Qifu's shop tightly shut. This was highly abnormal, as it was broad daylight during business hours.

After getting out of the car, she took out a megaphone.

"Listen up, people inside! You are surrounded. We advise you to lay down your weapons and surrender immediately!"

Xia Liang was speechless. He had, of course, heard Yun Bing's voice.

Good grief, could you have come any later? Looks like the Protectors always show up after the work is done. A professional cleanup crew. Still, they were pretty fast this time, less than twenty minutes from start to finish. Someone at the scene must have secretly called it in, otherwise, they couldn't have been so prompt.

Just then, a girl dressed in a pink Hanfu stood up and shouted, "Protectors, come on in! The young man already took care of the bad guys!"

This girl looks familiar… Xia Liang mused, stroking his chin as he looked at her.

RATTLE, RATTLE...

A moment later, the roll-up shutter was raised. Yun Bing, leading a few male detectives, cautiously entered. They were clearly still on edge, suspecting the shout might have been a trap. They saw the three robbers lying on the ground and confirmed that everyone else was unharmed. Only then did the detectives finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Can someone please explain what happened here?" Yun Bing asked, her tone grave as she scanned the room after her detectives had handcuffed the robbers and carried them to their vehicle.

Everyone present was still shaken and remained silent.

Meanwhile, Xia Liang quietly hid to one side as he suddenly remembered something. It seems Yun Bing asked me out for Saturday. Good grief! But I have plans for both Saturday and Sunday. For a moment, Xia Liang didn't know what to say.

"Me, me, me!"

A cute girl in Hanfu enthusiastically raised her hand. She rushed up to the female detective and described the entire incident, from the moment the robbers burst in to how Xia Liang single-handedly subdued them. She was so animated and passionate that anyone who didn't know better might think she was the one who had taken them down.

Yun Bing followed the girl's finger and saw Xia Liang standing off to the side. Since he had been pointed out, Xia Liang gave a casual greeting.

"We meet again."

A rare smile appeared on Yun Bing's face. "Thank you again."

"It's nothing, just a small matter. We're colleagues, after all," Xia Liang said with a wave of his hand.

"Mhm." Yun Bing nodded, not saying much else. After all, they were on duty. "I'll take them back to the station, then."

"Go ahead," Xia Liang said, waving his hand.

"Goodbye."

"Mhm."

Yun Bing waved back. As she reached the door, however, she suddenly stopped.

"Oh, right. Don't forget our dinner on Saturday."

Damn it...

A headache began to bloom as Xia Liang said with some hesitation, "I have something on Saturday. How about today? Or tomorrow works too."

"You're busy?" Yun Bing thought for a moment. "No problem. Let's make it tomorrow then. I'll call you."

"Okay!" Xia Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

As Yun Bing led her team away, the girl in Hanfu skipped over cheerfully.

"I'm live-streaming right now. Can I interview you?" she asked, approaching him with an excited look on her face.

This feels familiar, a lot like Su Yi.

He considered her request for a moment. Looking at the pleading smile on her face, an expression that seemed to beg, *Please, please interview me!*, he knew that any ordinary person would have caved to the cute girl's request. Xia Liang, however, simply shook his head.

"No way!"

"Ah! Why not?"

"I like to keep a low profile. I don't want to be famous."

Hearing this, the girl in Hanfu pouted. "What if your face isn't on camera?"

Xia Liang's expression remained indifferent. "Still no."

"Ah... but why?" After being refused again, the girl in Hanfu looked like she was about to cry.

"Because I have a delivery to make!"

With that, Xia Liang turned and walked away, waving his sleeve, not taking a single girl with him...

He opened the butterfly door and slid into the car.

VROOM... VROOM, VROOM...

The Aston Martin gradually disappeared from Tan Xiaoxiao's stunned gaze, just as her livestream camera happened to be pointed at the exact spot where it had been parked.

「In the livestream chat.」

"666, the cute anchor got rejected by the delivery guy!"

"Get lost, guy above me. Is that any ordinary delivery guy? He took down three robbers by himself, okay?"

"Our nation's delivery guys really are masters of all trades. They can subdue villains and capture robbers, reach the highest ranks in online games, and even tutor elementary school students on their homework."

"Incredible! Am I the only one who noticed he's delivering food in a sports car?"

As the Online Friends commented, the viewer count in the Hanfu girl's stream kept climbing. Before long, news of Xia Liang's deed was posted online again, quickly making headlines on Weibo, Douyin, and various major forums. It sparked lively discussions among netizens. Fortunately, the posters had the decency to only describe the incident without revealing any of Xia Liang's personal information or photos.

By then, however, Xia Liang had already accepted his next delivery order.

「Xiao Cilang Sushi Shop」

This was a restaurant serving cuisine from the Sakura Country. Approaching the counter, Xia Liang greeted the employee.

"Hi, pickup for PPX delivery, order number 36. Thanks!"

"Number 36 isn't ready yet. It'll be about seven or eight minutes. Please wait a moment," the staff member at the counter glanced back and replied.

Xia Liang nodded, pulled up a nearby stool, and sat down. He surveyed his surroundings. Although it was primarily a takeaway shop, it also had a dine-in section, and several tables were occupied.

The two girls at the next table were staring right at him. When their eyes met his, their faces flushed slightly red, and they quickly turned away, though they still snuck glances from the corners of their eyes.

Xia Liang couldn't help but smile. Ah, this damned, irresistible charm of mine.

Before long, an employee emerged from the kitchen holding the takeout bag. He hurried over and presented it to Xia Liang.

"Your order is ready. Don't be late!"

Being handsome really has its perks.

He casually took the bag and turned to leave.

Honestly, I've seen so many beautiful women lately that I'm kind of numb to it. Delivering food is way better. If I run into a hidden mission, now *that's* a thrill.

Just then, a female customer stood up and chased after him. The girl jogged up to Xia Liang, took a deep breath, and said, "Excuse me... you dropped something."

Hearing this, Xia Liang patted his pockets, puzzled. "No, I didn't. What did I drop?"

"You dropped... me!" she said, her face turning beet red. "Can I add you on Weixing?"

Xia Liang was stunned for a moment. Wait, am I being hit on?

Then he smiled. This young lady is pretty cute, hitting me with a cheesy pick-up line like that. Well, since she went to the trouble...

Xia Liang smiled and gave his Weixing contact to the girl.
