Gao Xiang was in disarray, staring at Su Ming with utter bewilderment. Li Gao, seeing his expression, shook his head in exasperation and quickly walked into the police station, as if ashamed to be associated with him.
*Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have completed the option and obtained 30% equity in Hongda Real Estate, along with full responsibility for the Pear Garden project! The relevant documents have been placed in your villa.*
*Feeling fantastic!*
The instant Su Ming heard the system's notification, his mood lifted significantly. Hongda Real Estate, with a market value of tens of billions, and 30% of that was over three hundred million. Catching this criminal was definitely worth it.
What was even more crucial was the Pear Garden project. Su Ming suspected that this might be the same project Lin Yixue and Lu Mingliang had discussed. However, he didn't ask; instead, he planned to give Lin Yixue a pleasant surprise.
Inside the police station, everyone was questioned, but it was just a formality. Nothing special, just a routine process.
"Su Ming, do you have some kind of bad luck aura or what? It hasn't even been a few days, and you've already come here twice!" In the police station's lobby, Ning Fengqing looked at Su Ming, amused.
Su Ming smiled helplessly. "I can't help it. But at least I'm always on the right side of justice."
*Nonsense!* Ning Fengqing gave him a flirtatious glance.
"You guys really helped out a lot this time. Lu Mingliang has been on the run for thirteen years, and there's a reward for his capture. There's a commendation banner and a reward of one hundred thousand yuan for you. We can't give it to you tonight, but you can come by tomorrow to collect it."
"Sure, I'll let Xiangzi and Houzi come by. I probably won't have time."
Ning Fengqing nodded, then curiously asked, "Su Ming, I'm curious, did you serve in the military? The way you handled those guys was no ordinary skill."
Her eyes sparkled with an intense fighting spirit. Yes, it was fighting spirit!
This made Su Ming pause. This Ning Fengqing, who looked as beautiful as a flower, was actually a combat enthusiast?
"I haven't served in the military, but my ancestors were in the military. I just picked up a few things from them," Su Ming replied.
*Is that so?* Ning Fengqing clearly didn't believe him. Suddenly, she couldn't resist, "Su Ming, how about a sparring match?"
"Uh, that... might not be a good idea!"
Su Ming rubbed his forehead, feeling like his worst fears were coming true.
"What's the problem? Since we have time now, let's go outside!"
True to her nature, Ning Fengqing started walking towards the exit.
"Hey, Captain Ning is itching for a fight again! Look at Su Ming, his face is all pale!"
"Yeah, no one in our bureau can match Captain Ning. She definitely won't let this opportunity slip by!"
"I bet Su Ming is in for a tough time. Don't let her petite frame fool you. Last time I sparred with her, I almost got half-paralyzed!"
The officers started chatting excitedly, their words tinged with fear. Clearly, they had all experienced Ning Fengqing's training.
Hearing their chatter, Su Ming felt resigned, realizing he couldn't avoid it.
*Ding! Choice triggered!*
*Option 1: Accept Ning Fengqing's sparring request. Reward: Chinese Martial Art, Bajiquan.*
*Option 2: Firmly refuse. Reward: Title, Ninja Turtle.*
As Su Ming received the system prompt, Ning Fengqing stopped and turned to look at him.
"Hey, Su Ming, what are you dawdling for? Are you afraid I'll eat you?"
*Fine, then!*
Su Ming stood up and walked towards Ning Fengqing.
Satisfied, Ning Fengqing continued walking outside.
"Come on, let's see!"
"Haha, I wonder how many moves Su Ming can last against Captain Ning?"
"I bet he won't last more than ten moves. Loser buys instant noodles for the night shift!"
"That's not much of a bet. I bet two nights' worth of instant noodles for the night shift that Captain Ning will take him down in five moves!"
The officers were buzzing with excitement.
"I feel like Officer Ning isn't someone to be taken lightly," Li Gao said to Gao Xiang.
"Of course not. Ning Fengqing comes from a military family. After graduating, she joined the military for further training and returned to work at the Jiangzhou Police Bureau after two years."
"Do you know which unit she was in?"
Under the expectant gazes of Li Gao and Gao Xiang, Lin Yixue revealed, "She was in a female special forces unit, and she was the strongest in her batch."
"Wow, do you think Su Ming is in danger?"
Both men widened their eyes, secretly worried for Su Ming.
"I don't know, but Su Ming's skills are also extraordinary. Let's go and watch."
Lin Yixue shook her head and walked outside. Gao Xiang and Li Gao hurried to follow.
*Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the choice. You have obtained Bajiquan. Would you like to integrate it?*
*Yes!*
As Su Ming confirmed in his mind, a vast amount of memory flooded his brain. Instantly, he saw a figure practicing tirelessly, day after day, year after year, through scorching heat and freezing cold, carrying heavy weights.
The entire memory flashed by like a fleeting scene, and in an instant, Su Ming fully grasped everything about Bajiquan.
Meanwhile, the two of them had arrived in the courtyard outside the police station. The crowd followed, watching with excitement.
"Come on, you attack first!"
The moment she stood, Ning Fengqing assumed a stance. Su Ming could tell at a glance that she was no amateur. Her casual stance was rock-solid, leaving no openings.
"Ladies first!"
Su Ming shook his head, standing casually and raising his hand lightly.
*Hmm?*
Ning Fengqing saw that Su Ming had no weaknesses either, which excited her. Since leaving the military, she hadn't encountered anyone like him.
Her already cautious heart became even more alert.
"I didn't expect you to be so gentlemanly. I won't hold back then!"
With that, Ning Fengqing darted forward. At a meter away from Su Ming, she leaped, spinning mid-air and delivering a powerful kick.
Su Ming's eyes narrowed, and a calm, battle-hardened mindset arose. He shifted his feet and blocked with his hand.
*Boom!*
A tremendous force hit him, but Su Ming stood firm. Clearly, Ning Fengqing hadn't expected to win with that move.
As she landed, she kicked again, this time aiming for Su Ming's lower body. Su Ming, anticipating it, kicked back.
*Boom!*
Their legs collided, and Ning Fengqing used the momentum to jump, delivering a lightning-fast punch to Su Ming's side. He blocked it with a raised hand.
Then, Ning Fengqing began attacking with great enthusiasm, and Su Ming deflected each move with ease.
In the courtyard, the two figures exchanged blows, leaving the onlookers in awe.
