In the command center, when the future chief inspector appeared in the cyclorama with a white bandage wrapped around his forehead, the atmosphere that had been filled with frustration and anger was instantly replaced by a feeling of "heartache" and "admiration".
"...the director..."
"He's injured..."
"It was from that damn knife that Bald Qiang threw at us out of nowhere in the video, that stab I got..."
A young police officer looked at the screen with an expression of both heartache and immense anger; his fists clenched tightly without his noticing.
"With bandages still on his head, he didn't even have time to finish his breakfast in the office before personally patrolling the streets again..."
"The director... he really is... so dedicated."
The eyes of another senior police officer were already glistening with emotion, and his voice was filled with heartfelt admiration for this young, top-ranking officer.
"Yes, he's the highest-ranking officer, and he's already injured. He could easily stay in the hospital or rest in his office..."
"But he still insisted on working on the front lines himself..."
"As a result... as a result, that bastard Bald Qiang hit that still-healing wound again with a broken soda can that flew out of nowhere."
"Unforgivable."
"This is absolutely unforgivable."
When the chief inspector clutched his head and angrily pointed at Bald Qiang, all the officers in the command center wore expressions of shared hatred and empathy.
They were all moved to tears.
It wasn't because of sadness, nor because of anger.
Rather, it was because they felt an unparalleled, soul-deep pride and admiration for having such a supreme commander who led from the front, worked despite injuries, and was always at the forefront—a commander they would follow for life.
"It wasn't me. It wasn't me."
[Bald Qiang was terrified and frantically jumped on his bicycle, fleeing for his life.]
"Hey. Still trying to run?"
The Chief Superintendent immediately started the police car parked on the side of the road and quickly gave chase.
He quickly caught up with Bald Qiang, who was pedaling his bicycle with all his might, in his police car.
"Finally caught you! Let's see where you can run now, you kidnapper."
[When Bald Qiang turned around, he noticed the familiar police car following right behind him.]
He panicked immediately and could only muster all his strength to pedal the bicycle.
"Come on, if you have the guts to be a kidnapper, why don't you have the guts to ride faster? Ride faster!"
The chief inspector rolled down his car window and, while driving, loudly mocked the driver from behind in a smug tone.

In the command center, when the future Chief Superintendent of Police, after enduring countless humiliations, finally managed to corner the culprit, Bald Qiang, once again.
The atmosphere, which had been filled with admiration and sympathy, was instantly ignited by an extreme excitement, full of passion and exhilaration.
"Chase."
"Follow."
"The director caught up with them."
A young police officer looked at the screen with an expression full of tension and anticipation; his fists clenched unconsciously.
"Haha."
"Look at that guy called Bald Qiang, riding a beat-up bicycle, his legs are practically shooting sparks out of him."
"How could he possibly outrun our director's high-performance police car?"
"He's doomed this time."
The other officer wore an expression of smug satisfaction, as if he had finally gotten his revenge.
When they heard the future Chief Superintendent of Police on the screen loudly mocking Bald Qiang in a tone full of ridicule and smugness, the entire command center burst into hearty laughter.
"Did you hear that?"
"'If you have the guts to be a kidnapper, why don't you have the guts to ride faster?'"
"Hahaha, well said."
“It’s so refreshing.”
"He deserves to be humiliated like this."
"Let him know just how foolish it is to oppose us and provoke our director."
All the police officers wore expressions of pride and honor, as if they could already see the final scene of Bald Qiang surrendering.
"Keep it up, Director."
"That's it, don't let him get away."
"Keep him firmly rooted to the spot."
"This time, absolutely, absolutely no more accidents can happen."
"This lawless bastard must be brought to justice."
The entire command center was filled with shouts of encouragement for their superiors, creating an extremely enthusiastic atmosphere.
【"ah."】
Bald Qiang used all his strength, trying desperately to shake him off.
"Oh, you're getting cocky, aren't you?"
Soon, the two of them arrived at a long uphill road.
Bald Qiang pedaled with all his might, straining to keep going.
But soon, he became exhausted, his tongue lolling out, and he began panting heavily like a dog.
"Hey, those short legs of yours are pretty fast! Don't rush, when you get tired of pedaling, I'll take you to the police station for a break, free of charge. Keep pedaling. Keep pedaling. Pedal all the way to the police station!"
【soon.】
This long uphill stretch of road is finally over.
[Bald Qiang suddenly made a sharp turn.]
He arrived at the entrance of a narrow alleyway he often used when taking a shortcut.
Seeing this, the Chief Superintendent of Police immediately drove over, intending to completely block the entrance to the alley.
Meanwhile, Bald Qiang sped along on his bicycle, quickly making his way to the familiar alleyway.
He glanced back and saw that the annoying police car wasn't chasing him, and a smug smile crept across his face: "Heh heh, finally shook him off."
But the next second, his bicycle had traveled a long, downward flight of stairs.
His bicycle just wouldn't stop.
He could only scream as he rushed down the slope.
Then, he noticed in despair.
At the bottom of that long staircase, the Superintendent of Police, smiling broadly, leaned against his police car and waved at him.
[Bald Qiang's bicycle suddenly crashed heavily onto the ground from the last step of the stairs.]
[And Bald Qiang, propelled by the immense inertia, flew straight towards the police car window like a cannonball.]
The Superintendent of Police calmly opened the back door of the police car, even gesturing for it to be entered, and said, "Sir, please come in."
After Bald Qiang had scrambled inside, looking completely disheveled,...
He slammed the door shut and said smugly, "Hmph, this time, let's see how you run away."

"……it's over."
"The life of that man named Bald Qiang, filled with sin and farce, has come to an end."
"He was like a stupid fly that had run headfirst into a Venus flytrap."
"There is... no way to escape now."
Jotaro Kujo pulled down the brim of his hat, revealing a cold expression that conveyed a sense of final judgment.
“OH MY GOD”.
"What a magnificent and ingenious trap this is!"
"They predicted his escape route, calculated his final landing point, and even the angle at which the car door opened was as if it had been measured with a ruler, with no error whatsoever."
"This chief inspector is not arresting criminals."
"He was putting on a...perfect, artistic performance."
Joseph Joestar wore an expression that was both shocked and incredibly admiring; he felt as if he were witnessing the ultimate battle of wits.
"Goodbye, Mr. Bald Qiang."
"Your next sentence will be: 'How could I be so unlucky?'"
"No, you don't even have a chance to speak anymore."
"Checkmate."
"You've been completely and utterly checkmated."

“…We…we’ve got him…”
"Caught."
"Caught!"
"Gotcha! Ahhhhhh!"
After several seconds of deathly silence in the command center, a deafening roar of cheers erupted, loud enough to lift the roof off.
"Director...the director...he succeeded!"
"He really...he really succeeded!"
"He personally caught that bastard we'd been chasing and hating for so long!"
A young police officer, watching the figure being triumphantly locked in a car by the superintendent on the screen, revealed an expression of ecstatic joy mixed with tears and laughter. He excitedly hugged his colleague tightly.
"Woooooooo..."
"It's...it's so difficult."
"Did you see it?"
"The director's last smile, the way he closed the car door, was just... just so incredibly cool."
"He endured so much humiliation, so much injustice, and was even slandered by Tianmu..."
"But in the end, he used his own hands, with his unparalleled wisdom and determination, to defend the dignity of all of us as law enforcers."
Another senior police officer also had tears streaming down his face. His voice was filled with the deepest, most profound respect and pride for this young, top-ranking officer.
Meanwhile, the young chief inspector was looking at the figure on the sky, who looked exactly like him and was wearing a smug smile.
He didn't speak, nor did he cheer excitedly like his subordinates.
He just watched quietly as his future self finally ended the nightmare that had haunted him for countless days and nights.
Then, slowly, very slowly, he closed his eyes.
He let out a long breath, releasing the pent-up feelings of exhaustion and relief that had been building up inside him for so long.
On his face, a smile of boundless joy and pride appeared, exactly like his future self.
