Chapter 160: All Captured

This was a golden opportunity for observation and learning, and naturally Shui Miao wasn’t going to miss it.

The black mist that had transformed into the shape of a wolf was highly condensed and distinct from ordinary yin-type spiritual energy. Based on this observation, Shui Miao deduced that this black mist must be the wolf’s soul. However, the mere fact that a wolf’s fang could contain its spirit reminded Shui Miao of the five young Taoist apprentices who had also transformed into teeth. Could there be a connection between this method and the巫师’s techniques?

The black magic practitioner was in a sorry state, entangled by evil spirits, his vital energy severely depleted, and now lying on the ground unable to move.

Seeing this, Han Baisheng was extremely angry and immediately ordered his bodyguards to throw the black magic practitioner out of the hotel.

Shui Miao glanced at the time and stepped forward, “Mr. Han, how long are you planning to drag this out? You’ve invited so many people here—are you trying to perform a blessing ritual? If you’re scared, just go home. You’re my senior, so I won’t hold it against you.”

“Hmph! Arrogant! You young punk, you’re just too arrogant!”

Han Baisheng hated being provoked the most, and immediately roared in anger.

Seeing this, two of Han Baisheng’s bodyguards started walking directly toward Shui Miao.

“You little punk, are you asking for a beating?”

“Daring to speak to our boss like that—you’re just looking for death!”

As the two young bodyguards rushed forward to attack Shui Miao, the beauties around Shui Miao immediately crowded forward, pointing at the two bodyguards and shouting, “What do you think you’re doing? What do you think you’re doing?”

In an instant, the hotel entrance erupted into chaos…

Seeing a group of women rise up furiously, the bodyguards were taken aback and stopped in their tracks, turning to look at Han Baisheng.

Hotel manager Gao hurriedly led the security team over as well.

Han Baisheng, with a dark and cold expression, heard footsteps from behind and knew his bodyguards who had thrown out the black magic practitioner had returned. He pointed at Shui Miao and warned, “Boy, if you dare to act arrogant again, I’ll make sure to kill you right here and now!”

“Ooh! Mr. Han, you’re like a blind man boiling syrup—have you boiled it over the edge?” Shui Miao said mockingly with a cold laugh, “Ladies and gentlemen, have I said anything wrong? Someone said they were ready to bet their fortune, but here they are dragging their feet, wasting time, inviting monks, Taoist priests, witches, black magic practitioners, and mediums—what else could this be but fear? And kill me? Do you really think you’re the Lord of Heaven? I think you’re just a coward hiding behind a pile of dirty tricks, someone who made a fortune through despicable means and now thinks he can shout orders like a big shot. Do you really think you’re some big leek? Kill me? Do you dare?”

Shui Miao, sharp-tongued and quick-witted, saw right through Han Baisheng’s personality, striking hard at his weaknesses, provoking him to lose his temper.

Han Baisheng had been around for decades, but being publicly humiliated like this was a first. He immediately lost face and shouted, pointing at Shui Miao, “Beat him! If he dies, I’ll take responsibility!”

The hotheaded bodyguards were just about to move when a man’s voice thundered, “What a big talker! Daring to commit murder, arrest them all and take them to the station.”

Director Zhang arrived in a hurry with a team of plainclothes officers and Lin Xue.

Lin Xue quickly stepped forward, grabbed Han Baisheng’s arm, and twisted it sharply, causing him to scream in pain.

Seeing this, two of Han Baisheng’s bodyguards rushed forward, but Lin Xue reacted powerfully, delivering a powerful kick that sent one flying. As the second bodyguard threw a punch, Lin Xue dodged sideways, then steadied herself and struck a heavy blow to the bodyguard’s spine. The man fell to the ground with a thud, and a hidden pistol fell from his waist.

“Great! Illegally hiding firearms—arrest them all!”

Director Zhang waved his hand, and the plainclothes officers sprang into action.

Chu Miaoyi quickly stepped forward to help.

At the same time, Director Zhang drew his gun and shouted, “Police operation—anyone resisting with firearms will be shot on the spot.”

When it came to police work, the hotel security naturally sided with the police.

Soon, Han Baisheng’s entire gang was apprehended without resistance and prepared for transport to the police cars.

The charge of illegal firearms possession alone was enough to land Han Baisheng in serious trouble.

Inside this luxurious hotel, as a billionaire being arrested, Han Baisheng was both humiliated and furious.

Just as the plainclothes officers were loading Han Baisheng into the police car, a dozen luxury cars pulled up around them. Many influential figures and black-clad bodyguards got out.

“The old bastards from the Zhonghai Chamber of Commerce have arrived!”

Chen Meiling quickly warned Shui Miao beside her.

Shui Miao swept his spiritual sense and immediately shouted a warning, “Director Zhang, those black-clad bodyguards are armed, and some of them even have drugs on them.”

Upon hearing this, Director Zhang’s heart stirred. Being able to uncover drugs was a major achievement. He quickly raised his gun and pointed it at the crowd, “Police operation! Everyone, hands on your heads, line up, and submit to inspection!”

At first, these big bosses thought it was a gang conflict targeting Han Baisheng. They had dealings with the gangs and had come intending to mediate, but they never expected the opposing side to be plainclothes officers. The bosses were stunned—this was like walking straight into the barrel of a gun! One bodyguard had secretly hidden drugs on him, thinking that today, while accompanying his boss, he could make a little extra profit by selling them. But now, he had run straight into the police. Panicked, he immediately tried to run away. Lin Xue, lightning-fast, drew her pistol and fired a warning shot into the air, scaring the bodyguard into dropping to his knees!

Indeed, someone had drugs on them!

The old-timers sitting inside the cars were shocked—they never expected to run into such bad luck today!

Now there was trouble—illegal firearms, drugs! Such a major case would definitely make the headlines tomorrow!

In the back seat of the last luxury car sat a wealthy businessman surnamed Bei. He had just finished taking drugs in the car and, upon seeing the police, was extremely frightened. He quickly whispered to the driver, “Xiao Zhang, drive away fast. There aren’t many police officers here. My car is bulletproof, so it’ll be fine.”

“But boss, there are many surveillance cameras here. I’ll be caught on camera!” The driver was worried. For a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan, was it worth risking his life?

“Damn it, I’ll give you 100,000 yuan later,” Bei snapped.

The driver’s eyes turned, “At least one million.”

“Fine! One million it is—just get me out of here!” Bei became even more anxious as he saw someone approaching his car.

The driver wasn’t stupid. Seeing his boss agree so readily, he knew the man was probably lying. He might not get the money and might lose his life in the process. As the driver was pondering whether to take the risk, he turned his head and saw a woman with a gun running toward his car. Startled, he quickly opened the door, got out, raised his hands in surrender, and confessed spontaneously, “I’m new, I just started driving for him a few days ago. His drug use has nothing to do with me…”

Hearing this, Bei stomped his foot—finished!

Shui Miao never expected that tonight would result in such a major incident!
