And so, the wind carried for miles.
Qingyi, who had been idling about Chenghui Square, immediately rushed toward Sui-Bian Temple after receiving the dispatch order.
Two patrolling officers followed closely behind her, their sidearms secured at their waists.
“We heard the report mentioned a murderer.
Senior Qingyi, cough…
I didn’t expect our little chat would be interrupted by something like this.
Sorry for ruining your day off.”
“It’s fine…
I can take this chance to see how well this new Radiance Porcelain set works.
Though, it’s strange for trouble to break out at Sui-Bian Temple of all places…”
The group of officers in plainclothes arrived outside the temple and contacted Jiang Suan.
Jiang Suan hadn’t expected the caller to be Qingyi, but it didn’t change anything.
“Just come right in!
I’ve been waiting for you!”
“…”
Qingyi froze for a moment.
Stepping through the door, she found herself staring blankly at the film crew.
This peaceful scene didn’t look like the hideout of a murderer.
Inside the temple grounds, standing before the main hall, Jiang Suan waved them over.
“Qingyi!
Over here, hurry!”
“???”
Ling was even more bewildered.
She hadn’t expected *this* person to be the one summoned.
She locked eyes with Qingyi, who shook her head as if in resignation.
“As I thought.
Wherever the Manager is, nothing stays quiet for long.”
“Ahem…
that makes me sound like a walking disaster.”
“Alright, you two, catch up later.
I’ve got a lot on my plate, so please cooperate with me.”
The officers, the villain, and our protagonist were all present.
Wasn’t it time for the grand play to begin?
“Brother Jiang, who are these people?”
“Oh, some friends of mine.
I was thinking, since we’ve finished our talk, why don’t we try a practice scene?
These guys will play the officers.”
“Fufu will play the young hero.”
“And I’ll have to trouble Brother Xuan Huang to play the villain.
You’ll have a fight scene with Fufu.
If the rehearsal goes well, we start filming for real tomorrow.
What do you think?”
“This is also a great chance for you to give Fufu some pointers so your coordination will be better when the time comes.”
Jiang Suan patted the two young officers on their shoulders with a meaningful look.
Their sharp professional instincts told them that an opportunity for a major merit was right in front of them.
Seeing Senior Qingyi’s expression, they knew this wasn’t a prank call.
Jiang Suan was definitely hinting that the criminal was this Xuan Huang guy!
Even if they were wrong, it didn’t matter.
After all, they were just “acting.”
“Brother Jiang, you really are something, calling us all the way here to act.
Ahem, we know a bit of martial arts, but this is our first time on camera.
Should we go all out?”
“Tsk, do you lack faith in Master Xuan Huang?
If you trust me, then just play your parts with everything you’ve got!”
“…”
Satisfied smiles appeared on the officers’ faces.
Their specialized handcuffs were ready; glory was waving at them.
The young officers hungered for victory! Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
Orange Fufu’s eyes went wide.
she hadn’t expected Jiang Suan to move so fast.
Now, that bad guy with the Tiger-Taming Bell definitely wouldn’t be able to run away.
Xuan Huang was even more pleased.
He needed a rehearsal to truly convince Orange Fufu.
This Jiang Suan was indeed thorough.
And so, everyone took their positions.
Jiang Suan stepped in as the acting director, arranging the script on the fly.
He wrote a story about a young Tiger Hero performing righteous deeds, and a senior who offered to guide his martial arts…
“But little did the hero know, this senior intended to seize his body and flesh, hungering for his talent.
And so, the two turned against each other.”
“Orange Fufu, Xuan Huang, begin!”
Xuan Huang frowned slightly, sensing something odd, but the hot-blooded youth had already charged forward with sharp, decisive movements.
The Eldest Senior Sister of Yun Kui Mountain was no pushover.
She might have been small, but her fighting style was pure aggression.
“Fufu, take it easy.
Brother Xuan Huang is an elder, after all.
Remember, this is just a movie.”
“Oh, hehe…”
“I…
I just saw how powerful Master Xuan Huang looked and couldn’t help myself.”
Orange Fufu scratched her head sheepishly.
Xuan Huang also let out a breath of relief.
It seemed the brat just wanted to play a prank on him.
What a twisted sense of humor.
A moment later.
“Xuan Huang, cough…
it’s time for you to be defeated.”
“Crew!
Wind!
We need wind!
You two, improvise some dialogue.”
Xuan Huang began to recite the ambitions hidden deep in his heart—how in this apocalypse, only the strong survived, and he would stop at nothing to grow more powerful, even if it meant consuming the flesh and talent of his juniors.
Fufu countered that his logic was entirely flawed.
“Since you cannot defeat me right now, then my words *are* the logic!”
Jiang Suan looked so moved he was nearly in tears, clapping his hands enthusiastically.
This performance was amazing—it felt so real.
“Officers, your turn!”
“On it!”
The two young officers made quick work of pinning Xuan Huang and snapping the specialized handcuffs onto his wrists.
Qingyi watched the man orchestrating the whole affair with a complicated gaze.
The film crew smiled at him as well.
That was a great take.
With this guy as director, the movie would definitely be a hit!
“What’s next, Director?
How should we play this?
Is that the end?”
“How could it be?
Haven’t we sent him to the police station yet?”
“Let’s film one more shot of him being taken to the station to wrap up the character’s ending.”
“???”
“Acting is such hard work,” Orange Fufu sighed, sticking her tongue out.
Did they really have to make it this realistic?
Were they actually taking Master Xuan Huang to the station for “protection”?
Jiang Suan was amazing.
He was taking the man away so naturally. New chapters come out on g.com first.
If she hadn’t known the truth beforehand, she never would have guessed this was the plan!
“Pfft, it really is hard work.”
“Xuan Huang, have a safe trip.”
Jiang Suan walked slowly up to the villain, his eyes dancing with mockery.
The story had reached its finale; it was time to close the curtains.
He truly appreciated Master Xuan Huang’s “guest appearance.”
Smiling, he handed a recording pen to Qingyi.
“Officer, a small gift for you.”
“I see…
is everything in here?”
“Several lives’ worth.
You’ll find it all once you investigate.
Also, just asking—is there a Brave Citizen Award?
I don’t need the trophy, but remember to send me the prize money.”
Qingyi was stunned, then shook her head with a wry smile.
“Don’t worry.
If everything checks out, we’ll notify you soon.
Now, if the film crew would be so kind as to help us finish the final ‘scene’!”
The two young officers drew their sidearms.
Given the size of the crowd, there might be accomplices.
Out of trust for Senior Qingyi, they decided to see this through to the end.
As for Qingyi, she trusted Ling.
The Manager’s friends were always reliable—
“Wait!”
“What the hell is the meaning of this!?”
Xuan Huang didn’t realize something was wrong until he saw the officers draw their guns.
What kind of “friends” carried service pistols on the street?
He looked at Jiang Suan in confusion.
Was this man setting him up?
Was he a narc?!
“Brother Xuan Huang, a brother’s bond is kept in the heart.”
“Go in and repent well.
Ah, you might be repenting until your next life, but don’t worry.
I’ll take good care of Fufu for you.”
Qingyi intended to verify the evidence first.
She held the recording pen to her ear and pressed play.
As the recordings of Xuan Huang and Jiang Suan’s “evil plot” began to play, the truth finally dawned on Xuan Huang.
A recording?!
This bastard had been playing him from the very start!
His rage hit the ceiling instantly.
“You bastard!
You motherf—”
“You son of a—!”
A stream of filth poured from his mouth.
Jiang Suan simply blocked it out, leisurely waving goodbye as the group was ushered away.
They had come in a hurry and left in a hurry.
In the quiet Sui-Bian Temple, the original three remained, staring at one another.
Jiang Suan let out a long sigh of relief.
“Another good deed done.
So, how are you going to repay me?
Fufu just said she’d do anything—was she serious?”
Ling was stuck between wanting to laugh and feeling touched.
This man was such a show-off!
She gave Jiang Suan another kick.
Fufu was lost, looking at the two of them who had suddenly become so close.
What had happened?
And also…
“So, where is the bad guy, anyway?”
