Chapter 25: Reclusive Martial Monk Eliminates Villain in Seconds

As soon as Officer Chen’s call connected, he hurriedly launched into questioning. His first inquiry was whether Xiang Kun really saw the wanted suspect. Xiang Kun couldn’t disclose that he made his judgement based on scent, so he simply stated that he was fairly certain.

Most importantly, the man had run off after locking eyes with him.

Upon hearing that Xiang Kun was pursuing the suspect, Officer Chen panicked and implored him to wait for backup, reiterating that the suspect was extremely dangerous and likely armed with a deadly weapon.

“Don’t worry, I’m not playing hero. I’m just keeping tabs on him for now until you guys get here. You know where I am, right? I’ve shared my location with you on WeChat…”

Xiang Kun strolled along the crowded street, tailing the thug’s scent while on the phone with Officer Chen.

Actually, as the man was fleeing in panic, he exuded more of his scent due to exertion, making it easier for Xiang Kun to track him down.

To Xiang Kun, this urban pursuit wasn’t a simple footrace. It didn’t matter if the man ran 100 meters away, as he could take a shortcut and intercept him.

Xiang Kun stopped in his tracks and stared at a narrow alleyway between two buildings. It was obviously narrow due to illegal construction, and muddy water puddled on the ground. Most people wouldn’t dare to walk through it unless absolutely necessary.

But Xiang Kun knew that the thug was hiding in this alley.

Temporarily moving his phone away from his ear, Xiang Kun listened for a while. He clearly heard heavy panting from within the alley. The man was undoubtedly exhausted from his run, but Xiang Kun’s keen senses caught it.

Regardless if the man held his breath, he couldn’t hide his scent.

Xiang Kun glanced around before reporting his location and nearby landmarks to Officer Chen over the phone. Together with his shared location on WeChat, he was sure law enforcement would find the suspect in no time.

Frankly, Xiang Kun was puzzled why the thug was hiding in the alley. Was he waiting for him to clear off thinking he’d escaped, only to resurface and run away?

No matter what he thought, Xiang Kun would keep watch until the police arrived. With the suspect’s scent and heavy panting as indicators, he certainly wouldn’t slip away unnoticed.

He could capture the man himself, but he didn’t want to expose his unique abilities and draw unnecessary attention.

However, before Xiang Kun could react, an impatient voice called out from behind him. “Hey, Baldy! Who were you yelling at?”

…

About an hour ago…

Tang Baona and Yang Zhen Er were eating in a salad restaurant.

“What about Teacher Saitama? Weren’t you supposed to go hiking with him this weekend? Did you confirm the timings and location yet? We’re setting off the day after tomorrow, right?” Yang Zhen Er asked Tang Baona, who was sitting opposite her.

Despite her friend’s string of questions, Tang Baona remained silent and continued eating.
