“Miss Bai, oh no, Officer Bai, can you please not handcuff me? I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong.”
Tang Yu approached her with a cheerful smile, his eyes scanning the surroundings.
Unfortunately, he didn’t see Dragon Fang anywhere.
The hotel of Ergou! You deserve it!
Bai Wanyi shook her head to clear her thoughts and, with a cold voice, handcuffed Tang Yu.
“Stop smiling. You’re also a suspect. Go inside and wait for me.”
She pointed to an office nearby.
Tonight, the interrogation rooms were full, so they had to make do with an office.
Tang Yu obediently walked in.
Soon, Bai Wanyi brought in a cup of black coffee.
The bitter taste after taking a sip helped her stay alert.
“Did you hear about the incident at Moonlight Hotel today?”
She sat down and asked Tang Yu.
“Yes, it’s all over the news.”
Tang Yu nodded.
“Alright, since you were the former owner of Moonlight Hotel, you’re also a suspect. Let’s start the record.”
Bai Wanyi picked up her pen, ready to take notes.
“Wait, how am I a suspect?”
Tang Yu looked innocent.
[You’re the suspect, huh?]
[I’m from a wealthy family, why would I do something like this?]
[The email you received was sent by me, okay?]
[Why would I report myself for a crime I didn’t commit?]
Hearing the voice in her mind again, Bai Wanyi was finally sure she wasn’t imagining things.
This was definitely the voice of this guy’s sarcastic tone.
She frowned slightly.
Instead of dwelling on the fact that she could hear his thoughts, she focused on the email.
Was the email really sent by him?
She wasn’t the type to make baseless accusations. Given the Tang family’s resources, they wouldn’t need to get involved in such dirty business.
“Alright, I admit calling you a criminal suspect might not be accurate, but you still need to cooperate with our investigation.”
Bai Wanyi twirled her pen and stared at Tang Yu. “Do you know any leads about this case?”
“No, I bought the hotel recently just to throw a birthday party for Su Muyue. After that, I sold it.”
Tang Yu casually brought up Su Muyue as an excuse.
[I already sent you all the info, okay?]
[But I did find out about those scumbags like Tian Can Di Que causing trouble, which is why I sold the hotel.]
[Under normal circumstances, I would’ve reported them directly, but Dragon Fang insisted on buying the hotel, so I had no choice.]
[This bastard framed me by killing someone in my hotel and staging it as a suicide, then bringing people to cause trouble.]
[If I could find evidence, I would’ve reported him too.]
Bai Wanyi’s body trembled slightly, and her eyes almost burst with fury.
Dragon Fang?
The hotel murder case she had been investigating was actually orchestrated by him?
When she went to arrest Dragon Fang earlier, she already felt something was off.
He had several calluses on his hands.
Based on her experience, those were characteristics of someone who had been practicing with a gun for years!
“Dragon Fang, you’re good.”
Bai Wanyi gritted her teeth. As a police officer, she hated criminals like him the most.
However, she wasn’t too fond of Tang Yu either.
This guy knew so much but kept it to himself?
Luckily, she could hear his thoughts.
[Why is this silly girl gritting her teeth? Did I say something wrong?]
[Don’t tell me she’s jealous because I mentioned throwing a birthday party for Su Muyue?]
[Well, I can understand. She’s always busy with work and never had a chance to date. Jealousy is normal.]
[Just don’t take it out on me. I know how you women are—jealousy leads to destruction.]
Seeing Bai Wanyi suddenly look murderous, Tang Yu started muttering to himself in his mind.
Bai Wanyi almost slapped him.
Who wants to get close to you?
She took a big gulp of her black coffee to stay focused and stared at Tang Yu.
“I’d like to know why you suddenly sold the hotel to Dragon Fang at such a low price. That move is highly suspicious.”
“I’m rich. I can do whatever I want.”
Tang Yu smiled arrogantly.
[He kept causing trouble, and my hotel couldn’t operate properly, okay?]
[If I kept it, who knows what kind of false accusations he’d come up with?]
[These ex-mercenaries are all heartless.]
“Mercenary?”
Bai Wanyi’s expression changed again.
She had already investigated Dragon Fang.
According to the information she found, Dragon Fang’s identity abroad was that of an entrepreneur, and he had returned to invest in the country.
As for his mercenary background, she hadn’t found any evidence.
She quickly jotted down this crucial piece of information. It fit her theory perfectly.
“How much do you know about Dragon Fang?”
Bai Wanyi continued her questioning.
“Not much, but Officer Bai, I feel like this guy isn’t a good person. He looks like someone who’s killed before.”
“He was in a hurry to buy the hotel from me, so I suspect he might be connected to a criminal gang. You should definitely investigate him thoroughly.”
Tang Yu didn’t hesitate to smear Dragon Fang.
[I don’t know much about this scumbag.]
[This guy is a psychopath. After killing someone, he collects body parts from the victims.]
[Oh, I remember—the hair of the woman he killed might be hidden in his house.]
[I’ll send you another email later, almost forgot about that.]
Bai Wanyi quickly noted down this crucial clue.
With so many leads, the case finally seemed solvable.
She started to look at Tang Yu a bit more favorably. He had indeed been a big help.
But how did he know so much?
After going through the motions with a few more questions, she put away her pen, eager to investigate further.
“Alright, the investigation is over. Thank you for cooperating.”
“It’s not a problem. I’m just unlucky. If Officer Bai could treat me to some barbecue as compensation, that would be great.”
Tang Yu shook his handcuffs and smiled.
“Sure, but next time. I’m busy now.”
Bai Wanyi took out the key and unlocked the handcuffs.
Her quick agreement left Tang Yu a bit puzzled.
[Wow, this woman actually wants to treat me to dinner?]
[Nah, don’t be so nice. I don’t dare eat with you.]
[If you’re attracted to my handsome looks, it might affect my ability to lay low.]
“???”
Bai Wanyi looked at him with confusion.
Would I be attracted to your looks?
Pfft!
She was too busy with the case to argue with him.
As for the fact that she could hear his thoughts, she decided to figure it out later.
First, she needed to deal with Dragon Fang!
Just as the two were about to leave the office, the door was pushed open.
Ye Chen walked in with a lawyer, his expression grim.
Half an hour ago, he had suddenly received news that Dragon Fang had been arrested.
After looking into the Moonlight Hotel case, he rushed over with a sense of urgency.
Dragon Fang had been abroad for a long time and wasn’t very familiar with domestic laws. Ye Chen, on the other hand, knew the ins and outs of these matters.
In China, once you’re even slightly involved with drugs, your life is pretty much over.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
