April nights in Yunhai City still had a bit of winter chill.
The car was filled with a fragrant scent, and melodious piano music resonated inside.
The cold wind blew through the slightly opened car window and hit Ye Qing’s face.
Sitting in the passenger seat, he felt a little uncomfortable.
The woman next to him had just had a scare, so it would have been more appropriate for a big man like him to drive. But he really couldn’t drive…
Song Qiaoyan was driving, but all kinds of thoughts were flashing through her mind: “If I stay overnight at his house, will his parents misunderstand and think that he and I have that kind of relationship… Once his parents know my age, they will probably think that I am an indecent woman who seduced their young son…”
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Ye Qing say, “Stop at the convenience store ahead. I want to buy something.”
Song Qiaoyan responded softly, and the Beetle slowly stopped in front of a 24-hour convenience store.
Seeing Ye Qing get out of the car and walk into the convenience store, Song Qiaoyan’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated: “What is he going to buy? It can’t be condoms? This bad guy actually wants to take advantage of me. He must have guessed that I was frightened and would want him to protect me… But if he had this in mind, why did he go to his house? Wouldn’t it be more convenient to stay at my place…”
In the convenience store, Ye Qing stood in front of the counter, pointed at the Dove chocolates on the shelf, and said to the clerk: “Two Dove chocolates.”
Just after paying the money, he received a message from Butler Wu: “Master, the thief has been found. He is at the three o’clock position, less than four hundred meters away from you.”
“You found it so quickly?” Ye Qing was greatly surprised.
“Yes, it turned out that the thief did not go far away after committing the felony. He was still lurking around. I guess that he did not steal what he really wanted and will target Song Qiaoyan again.”
“Let’s get him!” Ye Qing responded in his heart, took the change and chocolate handed over by the clerk, and stuffed them into his shirt pocket.
Song Qiaoyan vaguely saw his movements from outside and found that what he had bought was very small, suspected to be condoms in a box. Her heartbeat became even faster.
By the time Ye Qing returned to the car, Song Qiaoyan’s cheeks were already red.
Fortunately, the neon lights on the street were flashing red and green, and the mix of lights shining into the car made it difficult to discern the changes in her expression.
Besides, Ye Qing didn’t bother to observe her expression. He pointed to the front and said, “Turn right ahead. I want to talk to a friend on the way and ask him to help find out who went to your house and stole your stuff.”
“Ah?” Song Qiaoyan was surprised and asked, “What does your friend do? How can he find out?”
“Snakes have their ways, rats have their ways. What the police can’t do, certain special people can do.” Ye Qing explained mysteriously.
“Like, Mafia?” Song Qiaoyan increased the speed of the car, then stepped on the brake to slow down: “No, we can’t deal with that kind of people…”
“It’s okay!” Ye Qing interrupted, “My cousin won’t hurt me, don’t worry.”
Since they were relatives, it should be okay. Song Qiaoyan was relieved, but she still didn’t want to cause him unnecessary trouble, so she said, “Forget it. My loss is not big, it’s not worth making such a fuss.”
“You don’t understand.” Ye Qing waved his hand and said, “The security at Eastern Elegant Estate is so tight that ordinary thieves don’t dare to break into the houses there. This matter is definitely not as simple as you think. The thief has a clear goal, and he is coming for you.”
“Really?” Song Qiaoyan was shocked. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that Ye Qing’s words did make sense.
“Don’t worry about this matter. I can handle it. Relax.” Ye Qing urged again: “Turn right, faster.”
The Beetle turned right onto Kaiping Road, drove forward for more than four hundred meters, and slowly stopped at the roadside.
Before getting out of the car, Ye Qing ordered, “Lock the car door and don’t open it for anyone but me. I’ll be back soon.”
“Oh.”
Song Qiaoyan nodded obediently, feeling somewhat uneasy. Even though she was a senior executive of Tang Feng Company and managed a team of thirty to forty people, she had never experienced anything like this. At this moment, she was at a loss, feeling like an inexperienced little woman.
Snap!
After locking the car door, Ye Qing carefully pulled the door handle before turning and leaving.
Kaiping Road was a busy street. At 11:00 pm, there were still many vehicles and pedestrians, and there was a barbecue stall open not far from where Song Qiaoyan had parked her car. As long as she didn’t get out of the car, she should be safe.
Following Butler Wu’s instructions, Ye Qing entered a bar, ordered a bottle of beer, and quietly drank two sips.
The target has been identified. In the private room at the seven o’clock position behind him, there was a young man accompanied by two barmaids. The three of them were chatting and laughing while playing dice and drinking.
This man was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with an average appearance and a thin build. He looked athletic but agile.
Ye Qing turned the back of his left hand towards him and remotely accessed the Level Zero Heavenly Prison, obtaining detailed information.

Personal willpower: 52
Main crimes: theft, assault
…
In total, there were more than thirty pieces of information listed, and within just a few seconds, Ye Qing gained a deep understanding of this guy.
Taking this opportunity, Ye Qing retrieved his own information and compared it with the previous one:
Name: Ye Qing
Age: Twenty-four
Occupation: Urban white-collar worker
Personality traits: Loyalty and righteousness, clear distinction between what he loves and what he hates…
Life goals: 1. Marry a wife who is willing to take care of his mother with him; 2. Even if he dies, his family must live on happily…
Hobbies: Swimming, diving, caring for patients
Skill level: caring for patients (proficient), diving (average), swimming (average), cooking (entry-level)…
Karma sin value: 32
Kindness value: 187
Comprehensive ability value: 43
Personal combat power: 23
Personal willpower: 91
Main crime: None
…
The personal combat power mentioned here referred to unarmed combat, without considering the weapon factor.
Although Ye Qing liked to exercise, he was a law-abiding citizen after all. It was understandable that his personal combat skills were not as good as those of the urban thief. Ye Qing did not feel ashamed about this.
In addition, the skill levels were divided into: Novice, Apprentice, Entry-level, Normal, Proficient, Expert, Master, Grandmaster, Legend, Myth…
It was obvious that without strategy and weapons, Ye Qing would not be able to deal with the opponent, let alone capture him.
Time was running out, and it was too late to study strategy, so he could only resort to auxiliary items to help him capture the prisoner.
“Butler Wu, my kindness value is 187 points. What kind of catching props would be more suitable to exchange for it?” Ye Qing asked in his heart.
Master, for now, I suggest you use a simple disposable stun gun. It’s cost-effective and won’t create too much noise,” Butler Wu replied. “After all, you have just become a Heavenly Catcher, and your strength is insufficient. You must consider the legal system of the Earth and be cautious in everything you do.
The simple stun gun contained five stunning needles. After firing five times, the stun gun will be completely useless. Whether it was an elephant or a human, as long as their willpower was less than 70 points, the target would become a sleepy idiot after being hit by the stun needle, and anyone could carry them away.
Seeing that he was much better than Zou Mingqiang in terms of “personal willpower”, Ye Qing asked curiously, “Butler Wu, personal willpower refers to a person’s perseverance, patience, endurance, confidence, and other comprehensive factors, right?”
“Yes, master, besides the traits in the conventional sense, it also includes the strength of innate mental power.” The fog butler replied, “Your innate mental power is much higher than that of ordinary people, which is one of the main reasons why the black jade palm chose to fall around you after entering the Earth’s atmosphere.”
Hearing this, Ye Qing couldn’t help but feel a little complacent: “Could it be that I am the person with the strongest innate spiritual power on earth?”
“That’s not the case.” Butler Wu laughed and said, “You should be the strongest person in the nearby area. When the black jade palm plunged into the atmosphere and was about to fall to the ground, it could only slightly adjust the direction and position of landing. Therefore, the more important factor for you to be chosen as the Heavenly Catcher is luck. Of course, your relatively low sin value is also one of the reasons for being chosen.”
“So that’s how it is. A large part depends on luck, and a small part depends on one’s own advantages.”
