Watching Zhang Wenhai sneakily follow Lin Wanxing, Jiang Ye almost shouted, "Heaven helps me!"

Damn it!

Isn't this like getting a pillow when you're sleepy? This idiot showed up at the perfect time!

He didn't have time to dwell on it. His "Reverse Tailgating" technique was activated again, and he quietly followed them, hoisting his large umbrella.

While carefully maintaining his distance, he pulled out his phone and immediately called An Zhengjun, or rather, the esteemed Officer An.

After ringing a few times, the call was answered, and An Zhengjun's slightly confused voice came through:

"Hello? Jiang Ye? You..."

"Holy crap, Officer An! This is absolutely lawless! That pervert is stalking Miss Lin again!"

Jiang Ye cut him off, his tone indignant: "In broad daylight! In front of everyone! He's too brazen! Too perverted! You have to do something about this!"

"Pervert? Stalking?"

An Zhengjun paused on the other end of the line: "Are you talking about... Zhang Wenhai?"

"Yes! It's him! I called you immediately after he started following her!"

Jiang Ye jogged while relentlessly exaggerating the situation: "I'm not trying to cause trouble, Officer An, but this son of a gun clearly doesn't care about your warning or the guarantee he signed at the Police Station! This is a blatant provocation of the law! He's challenging your bottom line! To put it bluntly, you wear that badge on your hatdisrespecting you is disrespecting..."

"...Alright, alright, stop shouting. Are you planning to execute him?"

Officer An interrupted him impatiently, his tone becoming more serious: "Are you with Miss Lin right now? Hand the phone to her; I need to talk to her."

Jiang Ye replied while monitoring the movements of the two people ahead: "I'm not with her, Officer An. Can't you just call her directly?"

"Fine, I'll call her. Keep your phone on."

An Zhengjun finished speaking and decisively hung up.

Jiang Ye took the phone away from his ear, looked at the darkened screen, and sneered.

Damn pervert, prepare to face the thunder of justice!

Just as he was about to put his phone back in his pocket, it rang urgently again. He looked and saw it was still An Zhengjun.

"Hello? Officer An, any other instructions?" Jiang Ye answered again.

"Little Jiang... something just occurred to me..."

"Huh? What is it?"

"You aren't with Miss Lin..."

An Zhengjun's voice drifted faintly from the other end of the line: "Then how did you find out Zhang Wenhai was stalking her? Also, hearing you just say 'I called you immediately after he started following her'... what were you doing before he started following her?"

Jiang Ye: "..."

An Zhengjun: "..."

The air suddenly fell silent.

"Well... ahem... Officer An, it was a pure coincidence!"

Jiang Ye's face flushed, and his brain's CPU instantly overclocked: "You know meI'm warm-hearted, overflowing with a sense of justice, and I can't tolerate injustice. I just happened to run into... Wait, crap, the light is changing!"

He watched Lin Wanxing and Zhang Wenhai cross an intersection one after the other. The pedestrian green light was already flashing, so he quickly accelerated and sprinted across in the last second, barely making it:

"Seriously! Officer An, pure coincidence! I swear!"

"..."

An Zhengjun on the other end was utterly speechless. He could guess with his toes that this kid was probably practicing his "Reverse Tailgating" performance art again.

But he didn't call him out on it.

Zhang Wenhai's behavior had indeed gone beyond the scope of a typical dispute. Having Jiang Ye, an energetic and seemingly capable "enthusiastic citizen," watching from behind was safer than Lin Wanxing facing it alone.

"Alright, alright, I get it. Watch your own safety, don't follow too closely, call the police immediately if anything happens, and don't act rashly."

An Zhengjun gave his warning, too lazy to argue further, hung up the phone, checked his records, and called Lin Wanxing.

Jiang Ye listened to the dial tone, pocketed his phone, and continued carrying his umbrella, shadowing Zhang Wenhai from a safe distance.

Next, once Officer An resolved the situation, he could make a glorious appearance, receive thanks from the Girl, and complete this troublesome "Hand of Emergency Aid" quest.

After following for about five or six more minutes, as they passed a relatively quiet street corner, Jiang Ye suddenly noticed Zhang Wenhai abruptly stop.

Before he could see what was happening ahead, the man suddenly, and without warning, turned around and rushed toward him!

Jiang Ye's heart instantly skipped a beat!

Oh snap! Was I discovered?!

Is this son of a gun's eyesight that sharp? How could he notice handsome me among so many people?

Seeing Zhang Wenhai turning back and lunging toward him, Jiang Ye didn't hesitate, instinctively spinning around and running away with his large umbrella hoisted!

He had only one thought: Stalking exposed, retreat is the best policy!

Thus, an extremely bizarre scene unfolded on the street as the lights came on and scattered snowflakes fell:

At the very front, Jiang Ye was running frantically with his umbrella;

In the middle, Zhang Wenhai looked panicked, running while constantly glancing back at the woman behind him;

At the very back, Lin Wanxing, who had just finished her call with Officer An, was accelerating toward Zhang Wenhai with a face full of fury.

These three people instantly completed a "chain reaction" of movement in completely opposite directions!

After sprinting twenty or thirty meters, Jiang Ye gasped for breath, and his mind suddenly caught up

Wait a minute!

Why am I running?

My identity today is Justice Partner, Pervert Slayer! Why the heck am I feeling guilty?

Just as he realized this and prepared to turn around and assume a fighting stance, he heard an angry female voice behind him: "Zhang Wenhai! Stop right there!"

Jiang Ye looked back. Zhang Wenhai, in the middle, heard the shout, realized he had been recognized, and reluctantly came to a halt.

Lin Wanxing ran up to Zhang Wenhai with a dark expression, first giving him a fierce glare, then glancing over at "Mr. Jiang, the enthusiastic citizen who reported the situation."

Seeing Jiang Ye, who was holding an umbrella on his shoulder, shading his eyes, and looking over with a curious expression, her mouth twitched. She refocused her fiery gaze on Zhang Wenhai:

"Zhang Wenhai! What exactly do you want?! Officer An just called me! And you're stalking me again!"
