Chapter 43

In the pitch-black night, all was silent.

Darkness enveloped everything, as if it had swallowed all living beings.

Quiet, the night was as still as a pool of water, with only a couple of dog barks breaking the silence.

The surroundings were so quiet that it seemed time had stopped, as if any movement could shatter this tranquility.

......

At 2:00 AM, the alley was quiet, with no sound at all.

At the entrance of the alley, inside Jin Yunho's car, it was also incredibly quiet, except for three heavy breaths.

Huff

Huff...

Huff...

Suddenly, one of the breaths gradually became distant.

Jin Yunho turned his head with a curious look and found that Xu Xian was gradually falling asleep. Even in her sleep, her slightly chubby face still showed a look of anger, and her brows were slightly furrowed.

This girl, still angry even in her sleep?

Jin Yunho gave a bitter smile, but when he saw Lin Yoon-a's wary eyes and cold expression, he held it back.

"Here, cover her with this. It's getting cold at night, don't let her catch a cold." Jin Yunho took off his coat and handed it to the back seat with one hand.

"...Thank you." Lin Yoon-a glanced warily at Jin Yunho, hesitated for a moment, and then took the coat, gently covering Xu Xian.

"Do I need to be thanked?" Jin Yunho turned around and then turned back again. "I guess not."

Lin Yoon-a's silent resistance was too powerful, and Jin Yunho couldn't bear it.

The brief conversation ended, and the car returned to its previous silence.

Sigh, it seems I've really offended them.

Jin Yunho was also very frustrated. To solve the case, he had offended Xu Xian and Lin Yoon-a.

To solve the case, he had fired a gun while protecting a witness, offending the South Korean public.

To solve the case, he was about to lose his position as a prosecutor.

In the end, all of this was caused by that pervert.

If I catch you, I'll kick you to vent my anger.

Jin Yunho thought angrily, staring at the alley.

......

At 2:35 AM, a series of 'clattering' sounds came from the alley, like the rolling of wine bottles.

It must be rats.

Jin Yunho, who was struggling to stay awake, didn't pay much attention at first, his gaze fixed on the situation in the alley.

The alley was very deep, and the light was too dim, so he could only see part of it. Therefore, he had to rely on his hearing to judge the situation.

Soon, another faint sound came from the alley.

Rats... It can't be rats, they wouldn't make such a commotion.

Bang!

Jin Yunho was startled, quickly pushed open the car door, and rushed out, not forgetting to tell Lin Yoon-a, who was still in the car, "Lock the car door!"

Bang.

He slammed the car door shut and sprinted into the alley at full speed.

The shadows of the surrounding houses flashed by quickly. After running a distance, Jin Yunho gradually adapted to the darkness, and his vision became clearer. He saw two figures entangled in front of him.

A man was pressing a woman to the ground, groping her body.

How audacious! The pervert is at it again!

The sound of Jin Yunho's footsteps startled the pervert, who was about to look up but was met with a kick from Jin Yunho.

The pervert was entangled with the victim, and to avoid hurting the victim, Jin Yunho was cautious when he kicked. Therefore, he only kicked the pervert away without hitting any vital parts.

After kicking the pervert away, Jin Yunho didn't immediately go to arrest him but instead looked back at the victim. After all, the victim's condition was more important than catching the pervert.

If the victim had suffered a fatal injury, Jin Yunho would have let the pervert go and prioritized saving the victim.

Fortunately, the victim was only disheveled and not injured, with no life-threatening condition. At that moment, the victim's face was pale, and she was staring at him with a look of terror...

Not at him, but behind him.

Jin Yunho instantly made a judgment.

He pulled the victim behind him and quickly turned his head.

But it was too late.

The pervert was holding a dagger and was about to stab Jin Yunho and the victim behind him.

Under normal circumstances, Jin Yunho would have had many options, or at least could have dodged in time.

However, he couldn't dodge now. The victim was right behind him, and if he dodged, the pervert's dagger would hit the victim.

In a critical moment, Jin Yunho made a quick decision. He instinctively turned his body and used his left side to block the attack.

"Thud."

The dagger pierced Jin Yunho's abdomen. He was hit squarely.

Pain, excruciating pain!

But Jin Yunho had no time to think about that!

He bit his lip to stay conscious, and the metallic taste of blood in his mouth gave him some awareness.

This was the first time he had come face-to-face with the pervert. In the pervert's eyes, Jin Yunho saw a ruthless look that made him shudder.

But the pervert's ruthless look didn't make Jin Yunho back down; instead, it made him more determined. He hadn't seen such a look in a long time. He missed it!

He clenched his jaw and swung his left fist, hitting the pervert's temple.

"Bang."

From the moment Jin Yunho was stabbed to his lightning-fast counterattack, it was just a split second.

Caught off guard, the pervert staggered a few steps but didn't fall!

After the two separated, the pervert's choice was unexpected. He didn't take the opportunity to run but instead charged at Jin Yunho with his fists raised.

Ordinary criminals would flee when faced with law enforcement due to fear. However, the most dangerous criminals would do the opposite.

These dangerous criminals had excellent psychological resilience and were extremely perverted. They were often extremely arrogant and never took others seriously. In particular, they saw defeating law enforcement as a way to prove their strength.

Jin Yunho had studied criminal psychology and understood the pervert's mindset. By not running and instead attacking, the pervert wanted to prove his 'strength.'

Jin Yunho curled his upper lip and gave a cold smile.

Kid, you picked the wrong person!

Although he had been stabbed, Jin Yunho wasn't afraid of the pervert. He had his own pride.

The pervert's audacity and actions thoroughly enraged Jin Yunho, and his combative nature was ignited, making him even more determined.

Facing the pervert's incoming punch, Jin Yunho decided to take it head-on.

"Since you want to prove who's stronger, I'll oblige you. I'll show you what strength, ruthlessness, and fear are!"

Jin Yunho pulled the dagger out of his abdomen, ignoring the pain, bared his teeth, raised his thick eyebrows, and, with a powerful step and a twist of his waist, swung his left fist at the pervert's incoming punch.

He was going to meet the pervert's punch with his own, head-on!

The two pairs of fierce eyes met, approached, and collided.

The pervert, ruthless and疯狂, swung his fists wildly as he charged.

Jin Yunho, equally ruthless and疯狂, bared his teeth, showing his blood-stained teeth, and coldly smiled as he faced the rapidly approaching pervert, determined to land his punch.

When the two fists met, there was a 'crack'!

Then a scream! The pervert paused, then clutched his right arm and hunched over in pain.

Jin Yunho, though he had defeated the pervert, was also in pain, especially from the intense pain in his abdomen.

But seeing that the pervert wasn't completely down, he bit his lip hard, took two large steps, and quickly approached the pervert.

If you don't finish off a tiger, you'll be its prey. In his injured state and with only the victim present, he had to ensure the pervert was completely incapacitated. This would prevent the pervert from escaping and threatening the victim and himself.

Approaching the dazed and pained pervert, Jin Yunho raised his right hand, grabbed the pervert's head, and, using his waist and arm strength, slammed the pervert's head into the ground.

"Bang!"

The pervert couldn't withstand Jin Yunho's force and, with an unstable center of gravity, fell face-first to the ground with a 'bang.' Blood flowed from the pervert's face onto the blue-tinged pavement, creating a terrifying scene.

Jin Yunho was not only ruthless to the pervert but also to himself. To stay conscious, he bit his lip twice, and to defeat the pervert, he pulled out the dagger covered in his own blood, enduring the pain to fight the pervert.

You're ruthless?... I'm even more ruthless!

Although Jin Yunho usually appeared polite, he had a fierce and wolf-like determination when fighting criminals.

"Thud"

After defeating the pervert in a passionate and fierce battle, Jin Yunho also fell.

With the victim's cries and support, Jin Yunho barely remained conscious.

He immediately took out his phone and called Park Ji-tae: "I'm here, come quickly."

After hanging up, Jin Yunho held his aching abdomen and smiled bitterly.

I was careless.

He hadn't expected that the pervert, who hadn't used a weapon before, would bring a dagger this time, and that the pervert, after being discovered, wouldn't run but attack him and the victim.

If it weren't for his strong will and his ability to endure the pain and defeat the pervert, who knows what would have happened.

The excitement from the battle gradually cooled, replaced by the pain in his abdomen.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, and he pressed his hands tightly on the wound, waiting for Park Ji-tae's support.

The injured Jin Yunho, the victim who had been overly frightened, and the unconscious pervert on the ground were once again enveloped by the night.

The night returned to its silence.
