"Officer Li, Officer Han, what you are doing is illegal stalking!" Yan Jien said in a deep voice.
"We're just suspicious, not certain. If you refuse to cooperate, we may have to take some unconventional measures," Li Yanqiu replied.
"Fine, I can let you check, but if there's nothing inside, you have to apologize!" Yan Jien stated.
"Agreed," Li Yanqiu nodded.
"Hmph!" Yan Jien scoffed and opened the trunk.
Li Yanqiu and Han Li quickly leaned in to look.
"What is this?" Li Yanqiu asked, pointing at a black garbage bag.
"Nothing, just some trash," Yan Jien replied.
"Open it," Li Yanqiu ordered.
"It's really just garbage inside, it smells terrible. Are you sure you want to see?" Yan Jien frowned.
"Absolutely," Li Yanqiu nodded.
"Alright then." Yan Jien reluctantly untied the black garbage bag.
Immediately, a foul odor wafted out.
"This is... rabbit meat?" Li Yanqiu's expression changed slightly as he looked at the contents of the bag.
"Yes," Yan Jien confirmed with a nod.
"Mr. Yan, do you know that torturing animals is illegal?" Li Yanqiu stared coldly at Yan Jien.
"Illegal? No, I haven't tortured them. I just bought them to study their anatomy," Yan Jien shook his head and explained.
"Studying anatomy?" Li Yanqiu was taken aback.
"Yes, I'm a designer. I need to have a certain understanding of animal and human anatomy; it's an art form for me," Yan Jien said.
"Then why do you have their bodies in a garbage bag?" Li Yanqiu asked.
"Because I'm lazy. I live far from the market, so it's inconvenient to buy groceries. I buy a lot at once; whatever I can't finish goes in the fridge for later. These rabbits are leftovers from my last purchase that I couldn't finish, so I put them in the garbage bag to throw away," Yan Jien explained.
"You... eat rabbit meat?" Li Yanqiu asked incredulously.
"Yes, my family is from the countryside. We used to raise a lot of rabbits. I often caught rabbits to play with when I was young, but as I grew up, I started eating them," Yan Jien said.
"Mr. Yan, are you okay?" Li Yanqiu asked.
"I'm perfectly fine; I'm in great health," Yan Jien replied confidently.
"Then you..." Li Yanqiu wanted to ask more but was stopped by Han Li.
"Team Leader Li, let it go," Han Li shook his head.
"Sigh..." Li Yanqiu sighed and fell silent.
"Gentlemen, now that you've checked and found no evidence, can I leave?" Yan Jien inquired.
"You may go," Li Yanqiu nodded.
"Then goodbye." Yan Jien waved his hand, turned around, and got into the car, starting the engine.
Watching Yan Jien's receding figure, Li Yanqiu fell into deep thought.
"Team Leader Li, I think there's definitely something off about Yan Jien!" Han Li said.
"Yeah," Li Yanqiu nodded.
"But his explanation seems reasonable," Han Li scratched his head.
"Regardless, we need to keep a close eye on him!" Li Yanqiu stated.
"Understood!" Han Li replied.
The two did not follow Yan Jien any longer but returned to the police station.
Meanwhile, Yan Jien drove to a remote wasteland, took out the remains of the rabbit, and tossed it into the bushes.
"Damn it, why are those two cops always lingering around?" Yan Jien cursed.
"Could they have discovered my secret?" A possibility suddenly crossed his mind.
"No way, I need to move!" Yan Jien decided inwardly.
After disposing of the rabbit remains, Yan Jien drove back to the company. He organized some reference images in preparation for an afternoon meeting regarding the project proposal.
During lunch, he noticed that Tong Liya seemed different. Previously, she would actively contact him to ask what he wanted to eat, but today she didn't say a word.
"Is she upset?" Yan Jien wondered to himself.
"That shouldn't be; I haven't done anything to upset her," he shook his head.
At two in the afternoon, Yan Jien had a meeting with the client to discuss the project proposal. Since the design plan had already been confirmed earlier, the communication went smoothly.
In just two hours, they established a general direction for the project. As for the details, they would need to refine them gradually.
After sending off the client, Yan Jien submitted the renderings to the 3D modeling department. Once he finished his work, he drove to the gym. He wanted to test how much his strength had increased.
"Huh? Why are there so many people?" As soon as Yan Jien walked into the gym, he noticed a crowd gathered inside.
"Wow, look! That handsome guy is here again!"
"He’s really so handsome!"
"Not only is he handsome, but he's also really strong!"
A group of young girls chattered excitedly among themselves.
"Mr. Yan, you're here?" The gym owner, Zhao Xuancheng, approached.
"Mm." Yan Jien nodded.
"Mr. Yan, you broke our testing machine last time. This time, can we skip the test?" Zhao Xuancheng asked.
"No way, I'm going to test it to the fullest this time." Yan Jien shook his head.
"Ah?" Zhao Xuancheng was taken aback.
"Don't worry, Boss Zhao, I won't damage your equipment," Yan Jien said.
"Well... okay then." Zhao Xuancheng hesitated for a moment but ultimately agreed.
Yan Jien walked up to the Force Tester, took a deep breath, and then threw a powerful punch.
"Bang!"
The Force Tester shook violently.
"152 kg!" Zhao Xuancheng announced Yan Jien's results loudly.
"Wow, that's amazing!" The people around exclaimed.
"Not bad." A slight smile appeared on Yan Jien's lips.
In the last test, he hadn't gone into a second state of loss of control, and his strength was only 130 kg. This time, he had entered that state again, and his strength had increased to 152 kg—a gain of 22 kg!
This increase was quite impressive!
"Mr. Yan, how did you become so strong?" Zhao Xuancheng asked in shock.
"I've always been training; I just wasn't in good shape last time," Yan Jien casually replied.
"I see." Zhao Xuancheng seemed to understand now.
"Boss Zhao, I have something else to attend to, so I'll be leaving first," Yan Jien said.
"Alright." Zhao Xuancheng nodded.
Yan Jien hurriedly left the gym to avoid causing a bigger commotion.
Once back home, he lay on his bed and contemplated his next plans.
"Tonight, I need to go out and mark my territory while also testing how much the frenzy has intensified after entering the second state of loss of control," Yan Jien thought to himself.
