Chapter 368: Relishing Others' Misfortunes

Back to Chapter List
The three brothers finally woke up from their drowsiness, only to find themselves arrested by the police as suspected patrons of a night out. Branded Electronic Book (txt02.com) Sun Cheng glared fiercely at his fourth brother. It's all your fault! How could you bear it? You're already making a scene yourself—calling for a chicken, but now you're also making us and our senior brother do the same? Now we're all in a mess. His fourth brother returned the glare with equal intensity, thinking it was all Sun's doing. What did he expect? He hadn't even called for a chicken—how could he have dragged both himself and his second brother into this mess? As for the most unfortunate, it was undoubtedly the second brother. While the two neighbors had actually engaged in vigorous activities and were naturally caught in the crossfire, he had merely had his back massaged. The physical intimacy that unfolded in the adjacent room had left him completely at a loss for words. Three women cooperated smoothly, producing their ID cards—clearly, they weren’t being arrested for the first time. In their line of work, they had established connections and influence. As long as they communicated with the police and offered a little goodwill, they could simply resume their duties once released. Sun Sheng and his two companions were stunned—they belonged to a world outside the ordinary, with no ID cards at all. Recently, he had obtained a fake ID under his own name, but he had hesitated to present it, since that name was currently wanted by law enforcement, accused of stealing national treasures. Upon hearing that the three had no identification, the lead officer grew furious: “You’re determined to resist to the end, are you? Very well—then take them back and hold them in detention for fifteen days!” By law, a person convicted of prostitution must be detained for fifteen days and fined up to five thousand yuan. With no legal identity to prove, an additional fifteen days of detention was entirely reasonable. If they wanted to run, not even the police could stop them—special forces would have been no different—yet they dared not. As soon as they moved, they would have violated the iron laws of the cultivation world, and their fate would have been even more tragic. The three were allowed to wear underpants and handcuffed, but not headsets, and were simply escorted directly down to the ground floor. Throughout the process, journalists from the television station never stopped filming, and the commentators never ceased their commentary on the three’s statements. Even a late-night live broadcast had already aired the segment. Now, the three would find it impossible to remain unknown. Once at the ground floor, they were ushered into a business vehicle, and the lead officer gave the order to form up. "Wait a moment," Qin Feng said cheerfully, stepping forward from beside the vehicle. He had arrived early and had been sitting inside the car the entire time. Such an opportunity—how could he fail to mock them a bit? As he approached, he presented his officer’s badge. "Oh, it's you three, the three failures!" Qin Feng shook his head, sighing with disappointment. "You three have even ended up arrested for prostitution—what's that called? Ah, yes, that's called the unpredictability of life. How do you three feel about that?" The leading officer asked curiously, "Qin Officer, do you know them?" Qin Feng nodded. As the officer considered whether to offer the trio some leniency, Qin Feng continued, "These three aren't ordinary people. Have you noticed the one with only one arm? He's the master thief who recently stole national treasures. These two are his senior colleagues!" The officer's eyes widened in astonishment. "So they're part of a theft syndicate! I always thought one of them looked suspicious. Thank you, Qin Officer, for the insight—I'll immediately report this to my superiors!" Catching prostitutes and uncovering a major thief—this was no small achievement for the leading officer. Naturally, he wanted to make sure to report it promptly to claim his well-deserved credit. He had no idea that all of this had been carefully arranged by the officer standing before him. Qin Feng was delighted to hand over the credit to him—after all, the man had come all the way here in the dead of night to conduct a sweep against illegal operations, and deserved recognition. "Qin Feng, you're quite a strategist," Sun Cheng said, gritting his teeth. By now, if he still hadn't realized this was a trap, he truly didn't belong to be alive. Both his second and fourth senior colleagues were staring at Qin Feng with hungry, almost devouring expressions, as if they wanted to crush his bones. Qin Da glanced at their brief underpants with calm composure and shook his head, saying, "With just such modest means, you dare to call yourselves 'chickens'? You truly bring honor to Baihe Gate. That young man, Sun Zheng—your very name is Sun, and you've been Sun ever since—yet you still can't settle down. Now, you've dragged your two senior brothers into this mess. Let's be honest: the city has recently launched a campaign to boost spiritual civilization, mandating that anyone caught engaging in prostitution must not only pay fines and face detention, but also have their family members come along to attend the proceedings before they can be released. Of course, Sun Zheng, you're out of luck—your reputation is that of a treasure thief. You'll surely serve at least fifteen to twenty years!" The officer leading the team, overly excited, had his voice trembling as he spoke. Qin Feng raised his chin, giving the three blazing eyes a steady back profile, then smiled and walked over to his car, addressing Lin Caivie inside: "Done. These three will be locked up in prison for a while. When they come out, if they still want to settle scores, I'll be right there to take them on!" In just a few years, his rank would surely reach a truly impressive level—so much so that even if they were given the courage, they'd probably hesitate to come back and make a move. Lin, the beautiful officer, added, "What if they escape? After all, they don't even have identification papers. Once they run, where will the police go to find Baihe Gate?" "Qin Feng furrowed his brow: 'This possibility indeed exists—there's no choice but to guard against it, Weiwei. This time, you'll truly have to step in. Spread the word throughout the cultivation realm so that the Bai He Gate feels humiliated and under pressure. With that, will they dare to escape?' Lin Beauty gave a little clap on her hand: 'Absolutely! Then I'll make the trip. By the way, have Jingjing prepare the evidence of Sun Cheng's theft of the jade seal, as well as the footage we just captured. I'm certain the three of them will become instant stars in the cultivation world!' 'Hm, the evidence must certainly be solid,' Qin the Young smiled slyly. 'I'm also planning to weave in some strong plots—like having powerful senior mothers-in-law accused of bullying young students, or even assaulting elementary school children. What do you think?' Lin Beauty blushed slightly: 'I'm fine with tarnishing their reputation. Just please—could you make the accusations a bit more intelligent? Will anyone believe the stories you mentioned? Wouldn't it rather make people think they've been framed, and thus suffer a loss?' That makes sense. Then we'll go with just the base ingredients.
