Peerless Genius System Chapter 477 - Arrest Operation

Chapter 477: Arrest Operation

Xiang Gaoyang’s vehicle was parked in a nearby parking lot.

Chu Yue’s body was really light, only weighing about 90 jin. Xiao Luo hardly felt her weight, and carrying her was effortless. Her body still had a faint fragrance that was pleasant to the senses, and Xiao Luo couldn’t help but feel excited as he carried her to the parking lot. Wasn’t this the response of any normal man?

“When she wakes up, let her know that she was the salesperson for whatever investment there was. Her backer will be arrested tonight barring any unexpected developments. If she doesn’t believe it then just tell her that I said so,” Xiao Luo said to Xiang Gaoyang after placing her carefully in the backseat.

Xiang Gaoyang nodded and replied, “Thank you so much, Mr. Xiao. To be honest, Boss Chu already knew it was a scam, but he didn’t want to kill off Ms. Chu’s enthusiasm. Well, at least Ms. Chu’s visit to Xiahai wasn’t entirely wasted since she got to meet you.

Xiao Luo could only reply with a smile as he didn’t know what to say.

At that moment, Chu Yue, who was still asleep, started stirring and mumbled in a drunken slur, “Pretentious a*s… Xiao Luo… you idiot… I like you…”

It was as though she were talking in her sleep, except her sleep-talking came along with tears.

Have a good sleep!

Xiao Luo looked at her and sighed in his heart. Whatever that had to be cut off should be cut off. He couldn’t be entangled with her.

…

“B*stard, you b*stard! I realized I didn’t give you this nickname wrongly. You’re really a big b*stard!”

After returning to the bar, Guan Tong was in a frenzy and confronted Xiao Luo. “Look at how you’ve hurt such an innocent and beautiful girl. It’s too cruel,” he said.

Xiao Luo didn’t pay him any heed. He finished his cold drink in one gulp. “Is it time to go?” he asked.

“Where to? Isn’t it only 9 p.m.? It’s still so early,” Guan Tong said, rolling his eyes at him.

9 p.m.?

This reminded Xiao Luo of something, and he glanced at a doc.u.ment on his phone that Qiu Yuanjie had sent him. It was information that included a name, age, and some photographs. He glanced through the bar and found the target sitting on the ring-shaped sofa in the northeast corner. He was a gentle-looking man in his thirties who wore a pair of gla.s.ses and gave off the aura of a very successful person. Next to him was a group of lost lambs who looked like they were invited to invest their money.

s.h.i.+ Deben. This was the name of the MLM leader who was at the general manager level!

As Xiao Luo looked around the ring-shaped sofa once more, he spotted Qiu Yuanjie, dressed in plain clothes, lurking discreetly with a dozen of his team members. An arrest operation was about to begin.

“What are you looking at?” Guan Tong asked.

“It’s nothing. Waiter, give me another cup of iced tea,” Xiao Luo said. He was not in a hurry to leave as he wanted to see what was about to happen first.

After ten minutes, Qiu Yuanjie issued the order. A dozen team members came out and quickly approached s.h.i.+ Deben, who was in the middle of his pitch. They were like tigers who had been released from their cage.

s.h.i.+ Deben seemed to have sensed it and ran away immediately like a scared rabbit. He was thrown to the ground by a neatly dressed plain-clothed cop nearby, and then another came to handcuff his hands to his back.

Such an arrest immediately caused an uproar in the bar. The guests who were laughing, chatting, and joking were suddenly frightened by the appearance of Qiu Yuanjie and his team. They were all shocked. s.h.i.+ Deben had successfully brainwashed his victims, and after his arrest, Qiu Yuanjie and his team were immediately surrounded.

“What are you doing? Let go of Teacher s.h.i.+!”

“Where did you come from? Why are you acting like this toward Teacher s.h.i.+?”

“If you don’t let go, we will call the police!”

More than 20 people were already brainwashed and were very supportive of s.h.i.+ Deben. They were even more protective of him than a parent would their child, as they stared fiercely at Qiu Yuanjie and the others with cold faces.

Luo Shuang showed his police card to the people and said, “We are the police. This s.h.i.+ Deben is engaged in MLM scams. You have all been deceived by his lies.”

The twenty of them looked at each other, obviously unwilling to believe him.

“What nonsense! You must be fake policemen and investigators. Everyone, don’t be fooled by them! You can’t let them take Teacher s.h.i.+ away,” a boy shouted.

“Yes, Teacher s.h.i.+ did not violate any laws. How could the police arrest him? You must be fake police!”

“Tell us, why are you all pretending to be police and trying to take our Teacher s.h.i.+ away?”

“Teacher s.h.i.+, don’t worry! We will never let these people take you away!”

The crowd rose up in anger, and more than twenty of them began rolling up their sleeves one by one. It was as if they were trying to fight Qiu Yuanjie and his team.

“A bunch of fools!”

Luo Shuang angrily gritted his teeth and said, “You don’t even know that you have been deceived! To think you’re still helping the MLM leader by speaking up for him. It’s ridiculous!”

“Don’t say another word, let me try to talk some sense into them,” Qiu Yuanjie said, asking Luo Shuang to back off to de-escalate the situation.

He flashed a smile, and with a chuckle, he said, “Friends, we…”

POW!

A fist came flying right at Qiu Yuanjie, and he was caught off guard. The sucker punch hit him directly on his nose, and he could detect the sour taste of blood. The blow caused him to stumble back two or three steps.

“Brothers and sisters, come save Teacher s.h.i.+! You must not let these wicked people take him away!” the man who punched Qiu Yuanjie said, raising his arms.

The others rushed up in a frenzy and scuffled with the anti-MLM police.

“My friends, don’t get agitated, listen to me… listen to me…”

Qiu Yuanjie said, trying hard to resolve the conflict peacefully. But as he was talking, he took another fist to his nose and suddenly became angry. He drew his pistol, pointing it to the ceiling, and pulled the trigger.

BANG!

The deafening sound of gunfire was like a thunderbolt, and it took a toll on everyone’s eardrums in the confined s.p.a.ce.

The bar instantly went into a hushed lull. The background chatter stopped, the people who were drinking looked over in a panic, and the guys who had been brainwashed were rooted where they stood, in absolute fear.

“Hands on your heads and squat down! Hurry up, put your hands on your head, and squat down!” Qiu Yuanjie shouted, and he now had an expression of rage on his face.

Luo Shuang and the other team members also drew their guns and instructed the mob to hold their hands up and squat down.

Surrounded by armed policemen, the mob had to comply and gave up any thought of resistance. Too late did they finally realize that these were really cops!

“Oi, what’s happening here? Why did someone fire a shot? Are they preventing us from enjoying our drinks? Is there any morality anymore around here?”

A strange, eccentric voice filtered in from the direction of the gate. Then, a large group of fierce-looking men swarmed in like a school of fish swimming into a net. They had snarling faces and looked hostile. The voice came from the mouth of a fat man lumbering right at the front of the mob. He wore a white s.h.i.+rt, and around his neck was a thick gold chain. The fat man had a cigarette in his hand. He was a heavy smoker, and his teeth had yellowish and black nicotine stains from excessive smoking.

“It seems like the top boss is here!” Guan Tong said. His voice trembled, and he could feel his throat suddenly becoming dry.

Xiao Luo frowned when he looked at the fat man wearing the gold chain. This person was familiar to him; it was as if he had seen him somewhere before.

If Xiao Luo had recalled, he would have immediately known that this was the head, Feng Zhiqiang, a man he had once met when he was sweeping out the Dragon Gang’s red-light district back in Jiangcheng. It was a pity that such a small person did not register in his mind, and all Xiao Luo felt was a sense of Deja Vu.
