On this day, Ye Chen got up early and rode his bicycle around the capital.

"Someone help, catch the thief!"

Ye Chen was pushing his bicycle, strolling on the street, when suddenly he was startled by a loud cry; a thief had appeared on the streets of the capital.

"I'm just taking a casual stroll, what are the odds of running into a thief?" Ye Chen thought, a vein throbbing on his forehead.

"Young man, you're so handsome, with such a great figure and such a good temperament. How can you be walking here and not go catch the thief?" An old lady approached Ye Chen, lavishing him with praise and hinting that he should act bravely and righteously.

"Old lady, my back has been bad for two days. Although I want to step in when I see injustice, I just can't do it at the moment," Ye Chen said, holding his lower back.

"No need to explain, I understand now. You're nothing but a scoundrel in fine clothes, not a good person at all!" The old lady said disdainfully.

"Old lady, what kind of grudge do I have against you? Why insult me out of the blue?" Ye Chen said helplessly.

"I do have a grudge against you. The thief snatched my bag with ten bucks of change inside. If you don't help me catch the thief, then you're my enemy!" The old lady stated her case logically.

"..."

As Ye Chen and the old lady faced off, a graceful figure suddenly appeared in front of them. She moved swiftly and, within a few steps, had caught the frantically running thief.

When Ye Chen saw this scene, his expression became sharp. Once he recognized the person, his hand shaking the bicycle trembled.

It was a woman, and not just any woman, but a beauty.

She had a soft, oval-shaped face and an elegant and lofty temperament. Her curvaceous figure was truly desirable, a rare sight of great beauty.

However, the beauty was dressed in a police uniform, confirming that she was an officer.

"Officer Qin, you've caught me eighteen times already. Please have mercy and let me go this time!" The thief saw who had caught him and pouted, almost crying in fear.

"No way!" the policewoman said sternly.

"Please let me go, I won't dare do it again!"

"No way!"

"Officer Qin, I have an eighty-year-old mother above me and a three-month-old baby below. If you arrest me, they'll all starve to death. Please, let me go!"

"No way!"

The thief was a bulky fellow with a fierce look on his face, obviously no stranger to brutality.

Yet, when he saw the policewoman, his ferocity instantly turned into despair, begging her for mercy in a thoroughly crestfallen manner.

"Stand up and come with me to the police station," the policewoman commanded coldly.

"I won't go, you can kill me, but I won't go!" the thief blustered, ready to resist to the end.

"You have violated the law of the people and have been caught by law enforcement on the street, but you show no remorse and stubbornly resist the law. For this, I can only use forceful measures!" the policewoman declared her intention to follow protocol.

"Please, I..." The thief's face changed, and he quickly tried to back down, but the policewoman didn't give him a chance.

The policewoman suddenly reached out her small hand, grabbed the thief's collar like she was picking up a little chicken, and threw him to the ground with ease.

"Bang!"

The thief was thrown to the ground and knocked out cold, turning into a pile of mush.

The battle between the cop and the thief ended quickly. From start to finish, it lasted barely over a minute.

"..."

Ye Chen was stunned by the scene, not expecting the policewoman to be so violent.

"Young man, it's not that I'm heartless, but your performance was just pathetic!"

The old lady, too, had been stunned, but after coming back to her senses, she didn't hesitate to mock Ye Chen.

"You're so handsome, and you didn't dare to catch a thief. Do you deserve that face of yours?"

"If you're afraid to catch a thief, how can you expect to get married in the future?"

"Whoever marries you is out of luck!"

"..."

Ye Chen felt deeply wronged looking at the old lady.

He didn't catch the thief because he was too handsome. What if he accidentally got scratched during the fight?

And what did his courage to catch a thief have to do with his looks?

The old lady ignored Ye Chen's mournful gaze, walked straight up to the policewoman, and showered her with praises. She retrieved her vegetable basket and found the lost ten bucks.

In the end, the old lady left satisfied. She kept praising the policewoman while maliciously putting down Ye Chen and cursing that he would never find a wife.

Ye Chen was cursed by the old lady, but he didn't hold any grudge against her. If it weren't for the old lady's basket being snatched, he wouldn't have encountered an old acquaintance today.

Ye Chen exchanged a smile with the policewoman.

"Ye Chen!"

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Qin Lan tried to appear calm, not wanting to show any unusual reactions in front of Ye Chen.

Despite many years of separation, she had never forgotten him.

Qin Lan had always remembered Ye Chen, the man she both loved and hated.
