Chapter 04 Parkour, Easy Escape, Zhang Xingchens Plan
Wang Yun looked at the two officers five meters away, his lips curling into a subtle smile, eyes alight with excitement, and slowly, he raised his middle finger.
At this moment, he was a fugitive, a criminal on the run, and he was completely engrossed in his assumed identity.
“Huh?” At the sight of the suspect defiantly flipping them off, the two officers momentarily halted.
“Insolent! Capture him!”
One officer’s expression shifted slightly as he sprinted toward Wang Yun. His partner was hot on his heels, their piercing gazes fixed on Wang Yun.
Seeing them give chase, a faint smile danced on Wang Yun’s lips as he swiveled and darted away.
“What… What’s happening?”
Inside the command center room, Zhang Xingchen’s face was a mask of bewilderment upon seeing the middle finger gesture, followed by the suspect’s sudden dash.
“The showrunners wouldn’t have planned for a fugitive to intentionally let himself be captured. Perhaps this fugitive has some tricks up his sleeve,” Wu Mingyu conjectured, his gaze flickering as he observed the live feed’s developments.
“But isn’t this fugitive overly audacious? Our officers are all fit individuals. If we rate the average citizen’s physical fitness as an 8, our officers would be an 8.5,” Zhang Xingchen remarked, his brows knitted in thought.
The physical constitution of the enforcement officers was on par with real-life policemen, significantly surpassing that of an ordinary person.
“I’m not sure, let’s watch and see,” Wu Mingyu shook his head, his eyes glued to the screen with intrigue.
As the two pursuing officers closed in, Wang Yun’s eyes shone brightly. Without hesitation, he sprinted away. Rows of parked cars lined the road behind him. Wang Yun, without any hint of slowing down, placed his hands on a car, vaulting over it with a smooth and agile movement.
The Monkey Vault!
Even during this leap, Wang Yun’s pace remained unfaltering.
“Huh?” The expressions of the two trailing officers shifted subtly.
“Halt!” Their voices echoed, as they swiftly dodged the cars, persisting in their pursuit.
However, being a beat behind meant always lagging. By the time they navigated around the cars, Wang Yun already established a ten-meter lead.
“Intercept him on that side,” one officer hollered, their demeanor remarkably composed.
Promptly, they split, setting up a pincer interception. Wang Yun, with a casual glance, bore a confident smile.
Endowed with god-level parkour skills, Wang Yun didn’t take the two officers seriously. Especially since in this initial phase, the officers weren’t equipped with any weapons.
One officer bolted towards the exit, hoping to cut off Wang Yun’s escape, while the other remained hot on Wang Yun’s trail.
Wang Yun chuckled, veering not toward the exit but toward the 2.5-meter-high perimeter wall. Maintaining his momentum, he kicked against the wall when a meter away, effortlessly hoisting himself to the top.
A Wall Run!
Casually, he stood atop the wall.
“Damn it!” The officer poised to ambush Wang Yun at the exit couldn’t help but mutter a curse under his breath. The officer in pursuit too couldn’t mask the surprise etched on his face.
Standing atop the wall, Wang Yun turned around and extended his arms toward them, a faint smile gracing his face. Immediately after, he executed a backflip, landing effortlessly on the ground. Pulling out a cigarette, he lit it and casually strolled forward.
On the other side of the wall, the two officers exchanged a look, their faces flush with embarrassment. Easily toyed with, that was what they were. The other party didn’t even seem to consider them a real threat.
“This guy’s good at parkour, incredibly skilled,” one of the officers muttered, pressing his headset button reluctantly. “Reporting to the team leader, we lost him. The two of us couldn’t keep up with him.”
“I see.”
In the command center room, Zhang Xingchen furrowed his eyebrows, a helpless expression on his face.
“He’s quite audacious, utterly disregarding the officers. One might also say he’s just supremely confident in his own abilities,” the fourth team leader, Hong Feng, commented from the side.
“See, I told you,” Shen Hao chimed in from his spot, “how could the show team purposely set up an easy capture?”
Zhang Xingchen shook his head in bitter amusement.

“666*, wow, that was amazing! Prisoner number 33 wasn’t even trying to hide. He waited for the officers to arrive before making his escape, that’s a blatant provocation.”
“Isn’t that just raw provocation? He directly gave the officers the middle finger. Poor Zhang Xingchen, not only did he fail to score a point, but he also got openly disrespected. Hahaha!”
“That fugitive dude is so cool. Was that parkour? Climbing up a wall over two meters high and even backflipping down, so badass.”
“That guy could be a dark horse. He’s really something. I get the feeling even four or five people couldn’t nab him.”
Simultaneously, viewers watching the live broadcast were stunned by the scene. The fluidity of the parkour, the contempt, and the disdain shown toward the officers, all were impressively dominant.
This was what a real fugitive looked like. Zhang Xingchen’s deflated appearance also brought them immense amusement.
A free capture? No, it was a slap in the face.
“Although this ‘fugitive’ is formidable, he’s overly arrogant. I’ve been intensively studying criminal investigation and psychology in recent days, and the more people behave like this, the easier they are to apprehend, hehe!” Zhang Xingchen managed to squeeze out a smile and said.
His statement was met with agreement from others such as Leng Ming and Wu Mingyu, who nodded in affirmation.
“Given the personality of this fugitive, I still believe he is the easiest to capture. However, apprehending him would require at least five to six officers. And since the other officers still have other fugitives to arrest, I plan to deploy my elite personnel.”
Zhang Xingchen placed his hands on the table, confidently asserting, “Today, I will capture him.”
