Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 376 The Turtle (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month)
The sudden appearance of police voices caused an uproar in the live stream.

After a moment of surprise, countless comments flooded the live stream screen, with all sorts of remarks.

The female anchor stared blankly at Zhao Zhigang for several seconds before suddenly realizing what was happening and quickly turned off the camera and microphone, and also shut down the live stream.

She frantically operated the machine, glancing at Zhao Zhigang every now and then, her eyes filled with anger and regret.

Finally, Zhao Zhigang stopped walking towards her, and the live stream was quickly interrupted. She then clutched her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. She had originally wanted to lash out, but seeing Zhang Ke decisively handcuff Wang Jun, her expression changed again, and she ultimately didn't dare to speak.

But the look in her eyes when she looked at Wang Jun was now filled with deep dissatisfaction and disgust. It was as if her previous "I love you" was just a joke that was said and then forgotten.

"Why...why are you arresting me? Let...let me go! Let me go, you sons of bitches!"

Wang Jun was pinned to the ground by Zhang Ke, his hands handcuffed behind his back. But he was still struggling, cursing angrily.

"be honest!"

Zhang Ke naturally wouldn't ignore these curses. Ever since he became a policeman, he'd heard all sorts of insults. Even if Wang Jun's curses were completely unoriginal, or even worse, insults directed at his ancestors, he'd just ignore them without batting an eye.
With a strong pull of his hands, he lifted Wang Jun up completely.

Seeing that Wang Jun was still resisting, Zhang Ke sneered and approached him, "Kid, you still won't behave? You've been caught red-handed. Someone has accused you of theft, and the amount involved is huge, so the facts of the crime are irrefutable! Don't even think about dating now. Come with me to the police station and give me a proper explanation!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jun was taken aback, and then struggled again.

"I...what did I steal? I...this money was given to me by my dad, how could I steal it? Even if I did steal it...it was my dad who stole it, why are you arresting me! Let me go, you bastards! Hey, don't make things difficult for her, it has nothing to do with her!"

This kid's heartless and unfilial words left Zhang Ke and Zhao Zhigang speechless. He was so cold-hearted to his own father, but when he saw Zhao Zhigang gesturing for the female anchor to come out, he quickly spoke up to protect her, showing both deep affection and courage.

"Let's talk at the police station. Let's go!"

Zhang Ke's eyes hardened; he no longer wanted to talk to this kid about anything. This kind of incorrigible person wasn't worth his time and energy.

He pushed Wang Jun out of the live broadcast room and nodded to Nie Guoqiang. The studio manager and several other female anchors were all taken aback by the scene and the chaos that had just occurred, and they couldn't contain their curiosity, so they stopped their live broadcasts and ran out to see what was going on.

When the female anchors saw that the guy who had been harassing her for the past two days had been arrested by the police, they all looked surprised and incredulous. Then, seeing that the female anchor was also brought out by Zhao Zhigang, they couldn't help but reveal gloating smiles.

"I...I didn't do anything! His business has nothing to do with me! Why are you arresting me? What right do the police have to arrest people without reason?"

The female anchor muttered to herself the whole way, appearing very aggrieved and innocent.

But unlike Wang Jun, she wasn't completely brainless, and she didn't dare to actually go against the police. She could only keep muttering to herself, which annoyed Zhao Zhigang to no end.

In short, Wang Jun's foolish behavior was finally stopped swiftly and decisively. This was largely thanks to Wang Dali's quick thinking; otherwise, the police wouldn't have had a legitimate reason to intervene, nor could they have acted so decisively.

"He did go a little too far, though. I wonder if Wang Dali will mind. I suppose he's fully sobered up about his son's situation now? He probably won't do something as foolish as easily handing over 300,000 yuan to his son again, right?"

Lin Ge followed behind, watching Zhang Ke unlock Wang Jun's right handcuffs, allowing him to stand up straight temporarily.

“If you behave yourself, I’ll put the handcuffs on you from the front. I’ll also find you some clothes to cover up so you don’t get photographed and lose face. But if you insist on continuing to cause trouble, don’t blame me for being impolite and taking you to the police car in broad daylight.”

Zhang Ke's words frightened Wang Jun so much that he dared not struggle anymore.

He seemed to have calmed down by now, nodding silently without saying a word.

Whether he regretted his actions or what he had done these past few days was no longer of concern to anyone. Zhang Ke simply re-cuffed Wang Jun, looked around for something that resembled a curtain, wrapped Wang Jun's hands and handcuffs together to cover them, and then pushed Wang Jun out.

Zhao Zhigang gestured for the female anchor to follow, and Nie Guoqiang also reminded the studio manager a few more times, ordering him to go to the police station soon to explain the situation and make a statement before leading Lin Ge to leave.

They met Xie Hua downstairs, and the group got into the police car under the watchful eyes of onlookers, then hurriedly returned to Zhanghe Police Station.

At the entrance of Zhanghe Police Station, Wang Dali was pacing anxiously in circles.

When he saw the police car stop and Zhang Ke escorting Wang Jun out, he quickly rushed over anxiously.

When he saw Wang Jun with his hands in front of him, he immediately understood that his son had been handcuffed. Looking at his son's disheveled and aggrieved appearance, he felt both heartache and helplessness.

"Wang Jun, you..."

"Humph!"

Wang Jun turned his head and grunted, completely ignoring Wang Dali. This father and son weren't like this when they came a few days ago; the current situation was truly frustrating, and Wang Jun's stupidity was a real headache.

"Let's go inside and talk! Let's clarify everything today, and then carefully consider whether this was the right thing to do."

Nie Guoqiang waved to Wang Dali expressionlessly, then led the group to a meeting room deep inside the service hall.

This is generally where, after a police report is filed, the parties involved are allowed to talk and mediate the conflict in front of the police. For minor issues that don't warrant detention, the police help the parties reach a settlement here.

Of course, it's not about favoring anyone; the general hope is that everyone can compromise and resolve the matter properly.

As for those who don't accept mediation, we can just go through the proper procedures. The police don't need to take sides or have the time to keep dragging things out.

The female anchor, expressionless, seemed to have come to terms with her situation during her time at the police station. However, she still didn't seem to think she had done anything wrong, and quickly found a corner to sit down, crossing her arms, legs, and closing her eyes to rest.

"Showing your legs in the dead of winter, won't you freeze to death!"

Lin Ge squatted down next to the air conditioner where he could directly feel the hot air blowing on him, and gave the woman a malicious look.

Then Wang Dali and Wang Jun also came in.

When Nie Guoqiang gestured for him to find a seat, Wang Jun immediately sat down next to the female anchor, leaving Wang Dali, who was about to invite his son to sit next to him, to awkwardly look up and helplessly find an empty seat.

Since neither Wang Jun nor the female anchor continued to cause trouble, Nie Guoqiang signaled Zhang Ke to unlock Wang Jun's handcuffs first.

"Are you okay?"

While rubbing his wrist, Wang Jun carefully inquired about the female anchor's well-being.

Unfortunately, the female anchor found the guy's annoyance too much and simply turned her head away, ignoring him completely and treating him like a stranger.

then……

Strangely, faced with the female anchor's attitude, Wang Jun turned to look at the three police officers, Nie Guoqiang and another officer, with a face full of anger, seemingly blaming them for everything that had happened.

Of course, he ultimately didn't dare cause any trouble in this place.

"Tell me, what exactly happened!"

Seeing that everyone was behaving themselves, Nie Guoqiang tapped the table and said, "Wang Jun, you tell me first, why haven't you gone home or contacted your parents for three days? Do you know how worried they are about you, afraid that something might have happened to you?"

"What could possibly happen to me? Don't overreact!"

Wang Jun grunted and couldn't help but say to Wang Dali, "I told you when I left that I was going to see my girlfriend! Why couldn't you understand? You even caused this mess, completely ruining my reputation! It's so annoying!"

"I...I was just worried about you..."

Wang Dali was stunned by Wang Jun's reprimand, and after a long while, he hurriedly defended himself: "No matter what happened to you, you should have contacted your family! You didn't send any news and even turned off your phone. How could I not worry about you, right?"

"Hehe! I'm all grown up now, you don't need to treat me like a child!"

Wang Jun didn't appreciate it at all. *Thump!*

Nie Guoqiang tapped the table again, his face expressionless, and said, "Wang Jun, be nicer to your father! What's wrong with him worrying about you? You took the family's hard-earned savings and left without saying goodbye; anyone would worry that something happened to you. And what if something did happen..."

"Hey! What does 'accumulate' even mean..."

Wang Jun suddenly shouted, quickly interrupting Nie Guoqiang, and then looked at the female anchor nervously and cautiously: "My family is not short of money, don't talk nonsense to me! 300,000 is just a small matter, we can easily come up with more, okay?"

"..."

Wang Dali's expression was conflicted, as if he knew why Wang Jun had said that. Thinking about his son's love life, he ultimately didn't dare to refute it.

But both Nie Guoqiang and Lin Ge had already realized that Wang Jun was just spouting nonsense. Although they could guess that this guy was just pretending to be a rich second-generation in front of the female anchor, his stubbornness at this point was quite exasperating.

"..."

The female anchor seemed to have known what was going on all along, and ignored Wang Jun's desperate attempts to explain. She simply crossed her legs and lowered her eyes, as if everything happening around her was none of her concern.

Her attitude made Wang Jun seem incredibly foolish.

But strangely enough, Wang Jun didn't seem to care at all.

"Simps never get a good death."

Lingo flicked his tail and sighed in exasperation at his son's lack of ambition.

"Alright! This is your own family's problem. You can discuss it again when you get back, but you must understand the consequences of your words and actions."

Nie Guoqiang sighed helplessly, "In short, the best news right now is that everyone is alright. And Wang Jun, you need to explain to me what your father wanted you to do with the money he gave you? Was it right or wrong for you to use it to tip the female streamer next to you? I won't even mention that you tipped the female streamer next to you; I just want to ask you a very real question. When you tip, the platform takes a cut, right? If that's the case, why didn't you just give the money to her directly?"

"Didn't I tell you? I'm helping her achieve her sales targets! I'm helping her attract viewers to tip her! That's the most important thing! The platform's commission and such are completely unimportant compared to the fame brought by those dazzling broadcasts across the entire platform!"

Wang Jun spoke with conviction, and what he said actually seemed quite reasonable.

"But didn't you say that the woman next to you would go back with you and live a good life, even opening a flower shop, once the contract is fulfilled? If that's the case, what use is this empty title of female internet celebrity in the live streaming room to her?"

Zhang Ke couldn't help but speak up.

"whispering sound!"

Surprisingly, Wang Jun gave a disdainful sneer.

His gaze towards Zhang Ke and even Nie Guoqiang was filled with contempt. He sneered, "I knew it! You guys don't understand anything! Is there a conflict between opening a flower shop and live streaming? Is there a conflict between opening a flower shop and becoming an internet celebrity? Once Xiao Jing's fame rises, she can turn the flower shop into an internet celebrity flower shop, and even sell flowers via live streaming! Do you understand? What is a false reputation? You know absolutely nothing about internet celebrities! I do want to open a flower shop with Xiao Jing, but I'll use her current studio to help her build her fame. Then we can open an internet celebrity flower shop and make money through live streaming. That's what real business is, okay?"

At this point, Wang Jun even stood up indignantly: "So I just don't understand, are you all just bored and have nothing better to do? Do you really think I'm stupid? I've had a plan all along! What I'm doing now is all anticipated investment, understand?! Why do you all insist that I've been scammed? It's completely unnecessary! Now look what's happened, Xiao Jing's reputation has been ruined by your actions, who knows what will become of it! Are you going to compensate for this loss? Huh! Are the police all scourges?"

Wang Jun became increasingly agitated as he spoke, and even pointed at Nie Guoqiang's nose and launched into a tirade of abuse.

"Hey! Hey! Wang Jun, stop talking! I'm the one who had the police bring you back, so don't blame them!"

Seeing that things were not going well, Wang Dali quickly stopped him. Although he did not understand what his son meant by investment and business plan, he at least knew that ordinary people should never make a fool of themselves in front of the police.

"And you too, you're always causing me trouble!"

Wang Jun wasn't finished yet, and turned to Wang Dali to say something else, but in the end he sat down angrily.

"Ha ha……"

Zhang Ke couldn't help but chuckle. Seeing Zhao Zhigang turn his head in surprise, he leaned over and whispered, "This kid's all talk and no action! What he's saying might actually be possible. But in the long run, how many streamers can maintain their fame after going solo? Besides, we've seen this female streamer; besides being pretty and having a sweet tongue, she doesn't seem to have any other skills. She has no unique characteristics and only makes money by being flattered by men. How can she become so popular? And considering Wang Jun's family background, without big money, connections, or ability, how can he stand out? Just based on her face and Wang Jun's young theoretical fantasies? To be honest, I think this is just him being delusional. The girl is much smarter than him."

"You mean, this female anchor never intended to open a flower shop with Wang Jun at all?"

Zhao Zhigang was taken aback; he had even thought Wang Jun's words made a lot of sense. But Zhang Ke was the real expert in this area. His family background and experience meant that Wang Jun's theories were child's play to him.

Zhang Ke glanced at the female anchor again: "A prospective daughter-in-law, meeting her husband's father for the first time without even saying hello? And with such a cold attitude? Is this how you treat someone who wants to be family? Even if there's this bullshit argument that 'the husband's father isn't my father,' her attitude still speaks volumes."

"I even feel that in her eyes, Wang Jun is just an ordinary top-ranked customer. A top-ranked customer, after all, it's understandable to give him some money and appease him. Then, when he's no longer number one, it's not surprising that she'll kick him to the curb. At that time, Wang Jun will be squeezed dry, and the new top-ranked customer will be sweetly told 'I love you!' by this woman~ Pfft..."

Zhao Zhigang shuddered at Zhang Ke's disgusting tone, and seeing that Zhang Ke himself couldn't help but laugh, he quickly and quietly slipped over to sit down next to Lin Ge.

Nie Guoqiang glanced at Zhao Zhigang, then saw Lin Ge annoyed that Zhao Zhigang was blocking the hot air and was about to attack him. He tapped the table to signal these troublemakers to behave themselves.

Wang Jun remained obstinate, so Nie Guoqiang turned to the female anchor and said, "It's your turn. What's your name? This matter is also related to you. Explain your situation. Oh! Zhang Ke, check her ID card."

Xi Wanjing.

The female anchor spoke casually, then took out her ID card from her handbag and tossed it onto the table in front of her.

Zhang Ke walked over, nodded to her, and then took her ID card and scanned it with his police mobile terminal.

Upon seeing the contents, Zhang Ke paused for a moment. He then calmly returned the ID card to Xi Wanjing, before showing the contents of the phone to Nie Guoqiang.

"Ok?"

Nie Guoqiang frowned, looked at it carefully for two or three minutes before looking up and asking, "You changed your name? Can you tell me why you changed your name?"

"Is there a problem? I didn't like my old, rustic name anymore, so I changed it."

Xi Wanjing lowered her eyes indifferently, crossed her legs, and said softly, "Or is this related to the current situation? By the way, what exactly do you want to do with me? Have I broken the law? Or have I done something wrong?"

"I just asked you to come and assist with the investigation. By the way, Wang Jun mentioned opening a flower shop; you are indeed considering that, aren't you?"

Nie Guoqiang returned the phone to Zhang Ke, and his eyes immediately fell on the cat that had jumped onto the table and was struggling with Zhang Ke for the phone. He could only hope that the stinky cat wouldn't cause any trouble after seeing the information on the police terminal. He turned back to patiently continue negotiating the situation with Xi Wanjing.

"Holy crap!"

When Zhang Ke helplessly handed his phone screen to Lin Ge, Lin Ge couldn't help but swear.

In addition to Xi Wanjing's profile picture, personal information, family situation, and some everyday footage captured by various cameras, scrolling down reveals four rows of detailed attack records.

All four crackdowns were for alleged prostitution, the earliest being six years ago and the most recent two years ago. Although the severity of each crackdown was not high, the facts were established, and the criminal records were clear.

According to her personal information, Xi Wanjing is only 25 years old this year.

In other words, this woman entered that line of work right after turning eighteen?
Lin Ge looked at Xi Wanjing again in disbelief.

It started in Chu City, then in Sha City and Zhang City. Although the punishment doesn't seem to involve the most intimate contact, this woman is definitely not a good person!
Of course, these are all things of the past, and we cannot use the mistakes people made in the past to judge their current good or bad. After all, it might be worth it to correct one's mistakes and do the right thing, right?

Thinking about it this way, Lin Ge couldn't really criticize anything anymore.

Moreover, with the rise of online live streaming in recent years, Xi Wanjing plunged into the live streaming industry and became an internet celebrity, which can actually be considered a kind of retiring from the business... right?

Lin Ge's expression was very conflicted.
