The two policemen looked at Li Ling with strange expressions as he scanned the files on the Ma family drug trafficking group one by one, like a scanner. He really was scanning; each file contained hundreds of words, but Li Ling would only look at it for a few seconds before moving on to the next one.
Having spent nearly three years in this world, Li Ling now possesses an unparalleled memory, thanks to Xiao Zhuang's already exceptional ability to remember things. Furthermore, the energy from the world seed in his mind has enhanced his mental strength, allowing him to remember everything he sees.
Soon, Li Ling put down the documents and said, "All done."
The policeman next to him said in surprise, "You'd better take a closer look! Otherwise, you could very well lose your life."
Li Ling smiled slightly, picked up a photo from the table, and blurted out: "Ma Shichang, male, 61 years old, from Yuanshan Town, Chinese nationality, once went abroad to participate in armed conflicts in Southeast Asia in his early years, and served as chief of staff in the local area."
"After returning to China, he established a drug trafficking network, using Yuanshan Town as its base and overseas as its backing, and organized a huge drug network that could reach the entire Asian and even European markets."
After speaking, Li Ling picked up another person's photo. This person was bald, and judging from his appearance alone, he looked like a vicious thug. He was precisely Li Ling's target in this world.
"Ma Yunfei, male, 28 years old, Chinese nationality, although he is Ma Shichang's third son, he is his most valued son and may become the heir to the Ma family business."
"At seventeen, he went to the United States to study drama at New York University. During this time, he received military training at his own expense through a mercenary company in the United States. After returning to China, he became a pillar of the Ma family's drug lord business. The Ma family's drug trafficking network was mainly composed of the following people..."
"Okay, we all believe you've looked at it carefully." Before Li Ling could continue, the policeman next to him interrupted him with a smile, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Li Ling nodded, pointed to his head, and said, "Don't worry! It's all in my head."
Another policeman asked in surprise, "Is this your talent?"
Li Ling shook his head and said, "That's one reason, plus the result of the special forces training. It's unconscious memory, but that's nothing. Let's get to the point!"
The police officer nodded and asked, "How do you plan to approach her?"
Li Ling thought for a moment and said, "To get close to Ma Qitong, you first need to help me deal with that pretty boy, because he'll stick to Ma Qitong like chewing gum. With him around, I definitely won't be able to complete the mission."
The policeman frowned and asked, "Kill the pretty boy?"
Li Ling shrugged: "We don't necessarily have to kill him, but you must keep him under secret investigation because he is the son of another drug lord. You will definitely be able to find evidence that he knew about the entire drug network."
"You keep him under control until my mission is over. Be discreet and create the illusion that he's been killed. Of course, it doesn't matter if you actually kill him; that's your business."
“You pretend to be robbers and kidnap Ma Qitong. I will go up and fight you, then you take the pretty boy away, and I will rescue Ma Qitong.”
Upon hearing this, the police officer smiled and said, "Playing the hero to save the damsel in distress is a bit too cliché, isn't it? Why would she believe you?"
Li Ling said calmly, "I will tell her that I have been secretly following and protecting her."
"Then why did you do that?"
Li Ling's lips twitched slightly, and he said, "Because I love her!"
The two policemen exchanged a glance and nodded in unison: "Alright! The operation plan is settled then. Let's get ready."
"Okay, remember to prepare two extra magazines for me." A cold glint flashed in Li Ling's eyes. In the original drama, Xiao Zhuang was tortured for a long time in order to gain Ma Yunfei's trust. Li Ling had no masochistic tendencies; he always liked to play it a little bigger.
...
Yuanshan Town.
The police had already informed Li Ling of Ma Qitong's whereabouts, and Li Ling, disguised as an ordinary young tourist, followed Ma Qitong from a distance.
Ma Qitong and the pretty boy were traveling together when Li Ling spotted a blue van ahead. He knew then that the real robbers had appeared.
Li Ling's gaze sharpened, and he subtly slipped his right hand into his pocket. Unlike Xiao Zhuang in the original series, his gun contained no blanks, only live ammunition.
Just as Ma Qitong crossed the blue truck, one of the employees who was unloading the goods suddenly shouted, "Let's do it!"
Immediately, seven or eight employees who were unloading goods drew their pistols, rushed over, and grabbed Ma Qitong, knocking the pretty boy to the ground.
"Let me go!" Ma Qitong struggled repeatedly, but to no avail.
Without further hesitation, Li Ling drew his pistol and charged towards the group of robbers.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Li Ling fired four shots, killing the two men at the front.
The men holding Ma Qitong quickly reacted, and one of them shouted, "Kill him!"
"Bang bang bang..."
Gunshots rang out like popping beans on the streets of Yuanshan Town. After killing the first two robbers, Li Ling leaped out to avoid the ensuing counterattack.
With combat maneuvering initiated, Li Ling used the terrain and his agile movements to dodge the enemy's shots before firing two more shots, killing two of them.
Without pausing for a moment, Li Ling aimed at the target again.

Chapter 65 Sweet Words, Spoken Easily
"Retreat quickly! This is a master!"
The robbers immediately realized that Li Ling was not someone to be trifled with, so they stopped shooting at him and instead put Ma Qitong in their car, preparing to drive away.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The robber who closed the car door was easily killed by Li Ling, but Li Ling's gun was also empty. The Type 64 pistol has a capacity of seven rounds, plus one round in the chamber, making it only eight rounds, just like a tortoise shell box.
When Li Ling finished changing the magazine, the truck had already started moving. Unlike Xiao Zhuang in the original series, Li Ling didn't chase after it on a bicycle. Although he was very strong, that would be a bit foolish. Instead, he stole a motorcycle from the street.
Meanwhile, the police officers disguised as robbers saw that a real robber had appeared and Li Ling had already given chase. All they could do was take care of the rest and arrest the pretty boy. The rest was up to Li Ling himself.
