Su Qingkun, who had just wolfed down two kilograms of excrent, walked out of Hidden Dragon Villa and saw Lin Xiao being taken away by two police officers. Having been on the verge of a complete breakdown, Su Qingkun suddenly burst into laughter. As he cackled, he even let out a satisfied burp, from which a foul stench erupted.
But Su Qingkun didn’t care at all. The gloom in his heart was swept away in an instant. Without another word, he quickly took out his phone and started dialing.
Soon, the call connected. "Dad, that stinking beggar has been taken away by the police," Su Qingkun said excitedly.
On the other end of the line, Su Daonong asked in confusion, "He’s just a stinking beggar. What are you so excited about?"
"Dad, Su Qingning was only able to latch onto the Shao Family because that stinking beggar sohow gave Shao i’er a love potion. Now that he’s been taken by the police, he’s most likely dood. Do you think Shao i’er would still be interested in a stinking beggar? This is our chance!"
Su Daonong’s excitent flared. "You’re right, kid. What do you have in mind?"
"I think we can take this opportunity to snatch the bar back from Su Qingning. That place is a gold mine that rakes in a fortune every day! Once we get it back, we can flip it for at least a hundred million!"
Su Daonong laughed heartily. "You’re absolutely right, smart kid. By the way, did you manage to buy that villa?"
The subject of the villa was a sore spot for Su Qingkun. Damn it all. Not only had he failed to buy the villa, but he had also been forced to eat two kilograms of shit. However, Su Qingkun didn’t dare tell his father about it. If he did, there was no telling how badly he’d be scolded.
"Not yet. Shao i’er told to wait. She said she wants to get a super discount!"
Su Daonong was so thrilled he began jumping for joy. My son has really made it! Shao i’er must have feelings for him. Why else would she offer a super discount?
"Son, your father is proud of you."
Su Qingkun gave an uneasy smile. "Dad, ti is of the essence. Let’s et at the ho of that wretched pair!"
"Alright!"
「On the way to the police station.」
Lin Xiao sat with his legs crossed, looking as if he didn’t have a care in the world. He didn’t even feel the need to make a phone call. He knew those seven old geezers were watching his every move, which ant they definitely already knew he’d been taken by the police. Lin Xiao figured that these two corrupt officers would end up driving him back ho soon enough.
They arrived at the police station quickly.
Just as he got out of the car, a pot-bellied, middle-aged man walked over. The man’s na was Wang Dagang, and he was the second-in-command of the Jinling City Bureau.
"Is this the stinking beggar?" Wang Dagang asked coldly.
"Boss, that’s him!"
Wang Dagang sneered. "Lock him up for now. I’ve already applied for the necessary procedures, and the approval will co through soon. Then, send him straight to prison."
"Hold on," Lin Xiao said nonchalantly.
Wang Dagang asked with disdain, "What do you want to say, you stinking beggar?"
"May I ask what cri I have committed?"
"Do I need to explain myself to a stinking beggar like you?" Wang Dagang scolded impatiently.
Lin Xiao smiled. "How much were you paid to beco so audacious that you’d completely ignore the law?"
Wang Dagang sneered again. "The law? That’s nothing but a shackle for poor people like you!"
Lin Xiao burst into laughter. "Good. Very good. I’m looking forward to seeing how you’ll clean up this ss."
Wang Dagang glared at Lin Xiao with a nacing look. How dare a stinking beggar threaten ? Where did he get the courage?
"Take him away," Wang Dagang ordered. "Make him sign the confession."
"Right away, Boss!" one of the officers replied, pushing Lin Xiao into the police station.
Watching Lin Xiao’s retreating figure, Wang Dagang let out a proud, vicious smile. Of course, he was proud. He had not only pocketed five million but, more importantly, had successfully latched onto the powerful Zhang Family. Thinking about his bright future, Wang Dagang grew even more excited—so thrilled that he was about to call his mistress to celebrate.
But just at that mont, his phone suddenly rang. The call was from his superior’s superior’s superior—the top police authority of the entire province. Wang Dagang had never dread that such a high-ranking official would ever call him personally.
Wait, I rember the Zhang Family promised sothing. They said if I took care of this stinking beggar, they would help get a promotion. Could it be they’ve already made their move?
At this thought, Wang Dagang beca overwheld with excitent, his entire body trembling. He quickly answered the phone. "Chief, what are your orders?" he asked, trying to suppress the ecstasy in his heart.
"Are you Wang Dagang?"
"Yes, that’s !"
"You’ve arrested a man nad Lin Xiao?"
Lin Xiao? Wang Dagang was montarily confused before rembering that was the stinking beggar’s na. The Zhang Family works fast! They even passed the beggar’s na up to the top boss. It seems this call is definitely about my promotion!
He could no longer contain his excitent. "Chief, rest assured! I will continue to do a good job and will not disappoint you!"
"Oh, you’ve done a ’good’ job, indeed," the man on the other end said with a cold laugh.
Wang Dagang felt sothing was wrong. "Chief, what... what do you an by that?"
"Hmph! You arrested soone without cause. Moreover, you initiated the legal process without the accuser even present, all in an attempt to send an innocent man to prison. Wang Dagang, you’ve got so serious nerve!"
BOOM!
Wang Dagang’s face turned ashen in an instant, as if he had been struck by lightning. "Chief, I, I, I..." He trembled violently, unable to utter a complete sentence. He was scared stiff.
"Shut up! First, you will personally escort Lin Xiao back, ensuring his safety. Second, you will turn yourself in," the official commanded before hanging up.
Wang Dagang collapsed to the ground, his face the color of death. He couldn’t believe this was happening. All he did was arrest a stinking beggar. How could it have alard his superior’s superior’s superior?
What Wang Dagang didn’t know was that he hadn’t just alard a provincial-level chief. He had directly shaken the top echelons of the entire nation’s Ministry of Public Security. The orders had co cascading down the chain of command, landing directly with his superior’s superior’s superior.
Just then, Wang Dagang’s phone rang again. It was an unfamiliar number. He quickly answered it.
"Are you Wang Dagang?" A deep and authoritative voice ca from the other end of the line.
"Who... who is this?"
"Shao Zhonglou."
BOOM!
Shao Zhonglou, the patriarch of the most powerful family in Jinling City. This man’s influence was even greater than the official who had just called. Though he was rely the head of Jinling City’s leading family, he had extraordinary relationships with many high-ranking officials in the capital. Furthermore, it was rumored that he was a mber of the renowned A9 Alliance—an organization ford by the nation’s wealthiest magnates. A truly powerful figure with connections that reached the heavens.
Wang Dagang had pissed himself in fear. Completely and utterly. "Mr. Shao, what... what can I do for you?"
"You arrested Lin Xiao?"
BOOM!
Another devastating blow landed. Wang Dagang was so frightened he could barely speak. Just who in the world is that stinking beggar to have so many powerful figures coming to his aid?
