Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 157: Chapter 157: The Big Shot’s Game Rules

CLANG!

Governor Gandong Mountain slammed his teacup down, his face ashen.

The heads of the twelve departments in the room all subconsciously shot to their feet.

”Governor Guan, what’s wrong?”

Gandong Mountain suppressed his rage and panic. ”Where’s the case report? Get me the most detailed report, now!”

The report had already been compiled by the personnel at the scene.

”The suspect is the bodyguard of some rich kid. He claims he was the first to discover the bomb and even saved everyone on the street!”

Huh?

What in the world was going on?

Everyone was confused.

But Gandong Mountain was growing more and more frantic. ’Holy hell, the Night Emperor himself took action and saved everyone at the scene, only to be arrested as a suspect by the Police Department’s men?’

’This wasn’t just laughable, it was incompetent!’

’Incompetent and laughable to the extreme!’

”Pull up the security footage from the scene now! Send over any usable recordings!”

Of the four cameras on the street, two were damaged, but two HD cameras had captured the entire incident perfectly.

The truth was painfully obvious.

Qin Tianxuan discovered the bomb, first rescuing the young lady of the Chu Family, then evacuating everyone on the street, and finally pulling the two girls to safety.

It was clear as day!

The heads of the twelve departments in the room slammed their fists on the table in anger.

”Outrageous!”

”How did this Song Yunsheng ever get put in charge?”

”With his level of incompetence, how could he be allowed to take charge of the scene?”

The head of the Police Department could no longer sit still. After all, the man in question was one of his own subordinates. He could only offer a weak explanation, ”Song Yunsheng does have some experience, and he graduated from a prestigious police academy. He was just too eager to solve the case. I think he can be forgiven!”

The other department heads in the room all frowned.

This was a clear case of protecting one of his own.

Gandong Mountain glared over angrily and shot back a single word: ”Bullshit!”

Governor Guan slammed the table again. ”Relay my order! The moment Song Yunsheng arrives at the building, strip him of all duties and send him home to reflect on his mistakes! Then bring that... um, bring in the hero who saved everyone!”

’Qin Tianxuan’s identity had to be kept secret for now, but Gandong Mountain had no confidence in cracking this case himself. He hoped the Night Emperor could offer some guidance!’

「Outside the Police Headquarters Mansion.」

The armored vehicle, used for transporting high-risk criminals, came to a stop.

Song Yunsheng stormed out.

Four special guards held their guns at the ready, cautiously standing watch.

Qin Tianxuan was the last to get out. After straightening his clothes, he smiled at Song Yunsheng. ”Still not convinced?”

Song Yunsheng finally lost it and roared, ”Don’t give me that crap about the ’big shots’ rules of the game!’ I’m sick and tired of hearing it! This is Police Headquarters! Go on, show me what a big shot like you can do!”

Qin Tianxuan continued to calmly dust off his sleeves. ”You won’t be setting foot inside this building. Mark my words. In a moment, someone will come to find you, strip you of all your duties, and send you home to reflect. You want to know the rules of the big shots? These are the rules!”

Song Yunsheng and his men were dumbfounded, then they couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

They howled with laughter.

”Ha, I’ve seen people brag and act tough, but I’ve never seen anyone take it this far!”

Song Yunsheng pointed at himself. ”Me? Stripped of my duties? Sent home to reflect? Are you dreaming?”

His face twisted with rage. ”I’ll admit you’re a good fighter, but this is Headquarters! There are snipers everywhere! You dare keep posturing in front of me? Just try it!”

Qin Tianxuan couldn’t be bothered to respond. He took out his phone and looked at a message from Gandong Mountain.

”Sir, I implore your guidance. This case has had a huge impact on our city. On behalf of all of Jinling, I apologize. Do you feel the way I just handled Song Yunsheng was appropriate?”

’This was Qin Tianxuan’s game!’

’All he had to do was sit back, send a single command, and have everything fall into place under his control.’

’A small fry like Song Yunsheng would never understand.’

Just then, the doors to the Police Headquarters Mansion opened. A group of men in black uniforms appeared and walked straight toward them.

Ah!

A tremor went through Song Yunsheng’s heart.

It was the Police Department’s Internal Affairs division, responsible for handling the department’s internal matters!

The men from Internal Affairs coldly surrounded Song Yunsheng, flashing a red-stamped document in front of his face.

”Song Yunsheng, Police Department ID 2716, effective immediately, you are stripped of all duties. Go home and reflect on your actions. Do not return to the Police Department for work until you are notified!”

The document was shoved into Song Yunsheng’s chest. Several Internal Affairs officers unceremoniously disarmed him and confiscated his badge!

From start to finish, Song Yunsheng didn’t dare to resist.

He still wore a look of utter bewilderment.

His subordinates, however, were all staring at Qin Tianxuan in horror!

’It was real. Everything that guy said had really come true!’

”Wait, wait!” Song Yunsheng suddenly snapped out of it, his face flushed red as he protested, ”What did I do wrong? Why am I being punished so severely?”

The head of the Internal Affairs team sneered. ”This is a direct order from the higher-ups. At your level, you don’t need an explanation! Now please leave. You are no longer qualified to enter the Police Headquarters Mansion.”

Beads of sweat covered Song Yunsheng’s forehead.

Then, another group of people emerged from the mansion, hurried over to Qin Tianxuan’s side, apologized fearfully, and personally invited him inside for a meeting.

Qin Tianxuan smiled at the stunned Song Yunsheng. ”See? This is the big shots’ game!”

With that, he strolled casually into the mansion.

The subordinates who had followed Song Yunsheng scattered in an instant, not even bothering to say goodbye to him.

Song Yunsheng nearly choked on his rage right then and there.

He took out his phone, trembling, and spat viciously on the ground.

’That bastard Qin, don’t you dare act tough in front of me! What kind of fucking big shot are you? I’ve already looked into you. You’re just some retired veteran from Su City!’

’Once I win the heart of the Chu Family’s young lady, I’ll kill you, you useless piece of trash!’

Song Yunsheng forced himself to rally his spirits and sent several consecutive messages to the young lady of the Chu Family.

His efforts paid off. Chuchu replied, saying she was in a bad mood and asking him to accompany her to a family dinner.

Song Yunsheng was overjoyed and eagerly scurried off.

Meanwhile, Qin Tianxuan had already stepped into the headquarters’ command hall, calmly facing the heads of Jinling’s twelve departments.
