Book 4 Chapter 26 – Arrested?

　　'That was definitely Bing Shuai. Any longer and I wouldn't have been able to make it out so easily.' Qian Mian's heart was still racing in his chest, as the carousel spun around over and over again. He wore a princess dress and had a lollipop in his mouth. H 'What is it that they were escorting already…? Weird, I can't to remember.' Qian Mian put a bluetooth earphone into his ear.

　　"Hey Boss."

　　"Did you get exposed?"

　　"Yes."

　　"Did you escape?"

　　"Yes."

　　"Did you find anything?"

　　"Yes."

　　"What was their target?"

　　"I forgot."

　　"What?"

　　"I don't remember."

　　Li Yiming finally arrived home after a long journey. He needed a quiet place to sort out his thoughts, which grew even messier than in the morning. However, right as the elevator door opened, Li Yiming was greeted by a dozen gun barrels. A moment of hesitation and a few men in uniform put him to the ground. Li Yiming could have easily escaped, but he chose to submit when he noticed the emblems on their uniform.

　　'The police?'

　　"Li Yiming, you're hereby arrested on the grounds of robbery and murder. Here's the court order." A sheet of paper was put in front of Li Yiming's, and a man with a serious expression emerged from behind it a moment later.

　　'Wait a second, this guy, I remember him. He was the one being intimidated by Grandma w.a.n.g in the domain… Only now it's not a domain.'

　　The metal grid fell behind Li Yiming with a loud clunk. Li Yiming, with cuffs arounds his wrists and ankles, was brought to a chair made of steel rods. A projector was directed at his face, and the light was so bright, he could barely keep his eyes open.

　　"Alright, confess now and we'll make it easy for you." Captain Zhang sat down facing Li Yiming and stared at him coldly.

　　"Confess what, sir?" Li Yiming sighed. He had not expected that out of all things, it was the police that would cause his ultimate downfall.

　　"Robbery and murder, of course! Do you have no regard for the laws of this country!?" Captain Zhang roared in anger.

　　"I've told you already. My friend was kidnapped at a Starbucks. I chased after the people who did it, and that's why I grabbed the scooter. I'm willing to settle this privately."

　　"You said that your friend was kidnapped. What's his name?"

　　"Fu Bo. He's a web novelist. He lives one floor below me."

　　Captain Zhang looked at one of the investigation reports for the case. Fu Bo's name was indeed on it.

　　"Where is he right now?"

　　"I don't know, he's been kidnapped!" Li Yiming was baffled by the stupidity of the question.

　　"I've read your file. Clean background, good student, and even a university graduate. With your talent in dance, maybe you'll become an artist. I think you should confess so we can try to lessen your sentence." Captain Zhang suddenly took a different tone. Instead of intimidating Li Yiming, he was now trying to convince him.

　　"Sir, what is there to confess about? I've told you everything I know. I'm sure you'll know that I'm speaking the truth if you verify the surveillance footage."

　　Captain Zhang's lips quirked into a bitter smile. He knew that the conversation was going nowhere. He did not need Li Yiming's reminder. However, the surveillance footage for all thirty one cameras around the area had been mysteriously erased. The only clue that led him to finding Li Yiming was the video footage taken by the owner of the scooter.
