“It’s hard to say who will win or lose,” Mei Shu said with interest, raising an eyebrow at him.
Captain Wang stood up reluctantly. “Alright, I’ll play with you for a while.”
“Xiao Liu!” he shouted outside, calling the man who had been checking the bank accounts. “You didn’t believe this girl was innocent, right? Let someone else investigate this matter and be our referee.”
“What referee?” Xiao Liu was completely lost now.
And he noticed that the captain hadn’t been this happy in a long time!
Captain Wang had a slight smile on his face as he pointed towards the outdoor playground. “She wants to challenge me to prove that she can defeat those hooligans. I need you to be a witness to see if she’s lying or not.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu was completely dumbfounded and took a long time to come to his senses. “Captain, are you joking with me? Since when do we solve cases by fighting victims?”
Mei Shu followed Captain Wang outside with a smile, and as she passed by Xiao Liu, she affectionately patted his shoulder. “Don’t be so rigid when solving cases. Come on, let’s go outside and relax.”
Xiao Liu was only in his twenties this year, and although he had seen many cases, his practical experience was not much more mature than Mei Shu’s.
Moreover, he had just been patted on the shoulder by Mei Shu, and for some reason, he had a strange feeling that he was the inexperienced young one, while Mei Shu was the mature leader.
But he quickly pushed this absurd thought out of his mind.
She was just an underage girl. He was a police officer; how could he be overwhelmed by her aura?
Thinking this way, Xiao Liu suddenly felt a bit angry.
He wanted to see what kind of skills Mei Shu had that made her so confident in defeating Captain Wang!
As they walked through the office with such fanfare, it attracted the attention of many people in the police station.
Xiao Liu, with the intention of watching Mei Shu make a fool of herself, spread the news that Mei Shu wanted to challenge Captain Wang personally, and the other officers quickly put down their work to watch the show.
Frustrated by his subordinates not focusing on their tasks, Captain Wang furrowed his brows and was about to reprimand them, but he was caught off guard when Mei Shu took the initiative to speak.
“Go ahead and watch if you want. That way, you won’t be in the dark later and suspect my innocence.”
she said, making it clear that she had heard their discussion earlier.
The police officers blushed with anger and challenged Mei Shu, “Don’t get too cocky too soon! Our captain is an expert in martial arts. If he makes you cry later, I want to see how you prove yourself!”
“In that case, you wait and see,” Mei Shu retorted, refusing to back down.
Those people couldn’t stand the provocation and wanted to bicker with Mei Shu.
Captain Wang raised his hand to stop them. “This is our contest. You can watch from the side.”
With that said, Captain Wang beckoned to Mei Shu. “You’re young, and you’re a girl. I’ll give you three moves, and I won’t fight back. How about it?”
“Sure!” Mei Shu didn’t mince words and immediately started the fight.
She hadn’t systematically learned how to fight, so her punches and strikes were all quite awkward. However, her incredible strength made it difficult for Captain Wang to easily defend against her.
After three moves, he even had to raise his hands to block her elbow strike.
Mei Shu looked at him provocatively from close range and taunted, “Oh, Captain Wang, did you decide to fight back? Don’t you want to let me continue?”
“Young girl, you’ve got some skills, but don’t get too confident!” Captain Wang said and counterattacked. Several times, he almost hit her vital points, but Mei Shu used her keen reflexes to narrowly avoid them.
If it weren’t for the assistance of her system, Mei Shu probably wouldn’t be able to defend herself with just brute strength.
As they continued their battle, the system’s upgrade notifications kept ringing in her mind.
“Congratulations, Master, you have acquired the skill ‘Martial Arts’ at level 1.”
“Congratulations, Master, your ‘Martial Arts’ skill has been upgraded to level 2.”
By the time Captain Wang was panting and pushed away her incoming fist, Mei Shu had successfully reached level 5.
Her goal was clear.
She and Captain Wang’s match wasn’t about proving her innocence, but because she saw Captain Wang’s martial arts champion trophy in his office and wanted to use this opportunity to improve her combat skills!
While her current strength would likely be sufficient to handle the hooligans, she couldn’t rule out the possibility of encountering even more formidable opponents in the future. In such critical moments, her combat techniques would be essential.
Captain Wang had no idea about Mei Shu’s intentions.
He genuinely admired her strength at this point.
Who would have thought that such a seemingly frail girl would possess such incredible strength?
But what was even more terrifying was that he could clearly sense that she was rapidly improving during their fight..
