…
When Li Rui and Chu Ping saw Chen Han heading out, they immediately realized something. This man possessed mysterious and unfathomable abilities.
Could it be…
As he speculated inwardly, Li Rui hurriedly led people to follow.
He naturally did not know that just now a blood-colored bee had already flown to the entrance and out of the courtyard.
This was naturally the magic-attracting bee he had previously obtained from Yin Feng Cave.
As long as an item had once left behind a trace of scent, and as long as not too much time had passed, within a certain range it could track it down.
It was just that he did not know exactly what “not too long” and “within a certain range” meant.
After all, from Mi Shou’s account and the information Huang Xin had inquired about, a week had already passed. Who knew where the liars were now.
He had simply not tried it earlier. Once he let it search for those who had come into contact with those tea leaves, he discovered that it actually worked.
Those who could have handled these tea leaves, aside from Mi Shou the buyer, would only be the sellers who made the tea.
If that was the case, then it became easy.
But just as he left the Chen Clan, he froze for a moment.
Because the magic-attracting bee was flying toward Shangyuan Village.
Someone was in Shangyuan Village?
This…
Previously, that remnant from Ci Yun Temple had been in Shangyuan Village.
Now this person from Yin Mountain Sect was also in Shangyuan Village.
Why did these people of the demonic path like Shangyuan Village so much?
Li Rui led people following behind Chen Han. Seeing him walk toward Shangyuan Village, a strange look appeared on his face.
After all, he had already arrested people in Shangyuan Village more than once before, and the wanted criminal Huang Xin had just apprehended had also been in Shangyuan Village.
Now the Chen Family Head was going to Shangyuan Village again. With his experience, his heartbeat could not help but speed up.
…
The Shangyuan Village supermarket had already been completely renovated.
Ming Di finished inspecting the supermarket with his people and walked out, then picked up his mobile phone to check what was happening online.
He naturally knew about the Chen Clan and the fake Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea incident.
He felt these people were brainless, buying fake goods and then coming to denounce the Chen Clan. But thinking about it, it was normal. Many people, when they suffered losses, would always try to make up for them.
Had there not been a case before where a middle-aged man, drinking and driving, crashed, and a delivery rider following at a distance helped call an ambulance and went up to assist, only for the man to immediately ask if the young man had hit him?
Then the man’s son arrived. Even when people showed him recordings from others, he still refused to admit it and insisted the young man had hit his father, since they needed a large sum of money for treatment.
The key point was that this man had a decent job, more respectable than most people. In the end, only when public opinion surged and he feared losing his job did he rush out in a panic to apologize, even putting on a show by preparing a brocade banner.
If there had been no video as proof at the time, or if public opinion had not flared up?
These people had the same psychology. They just wanted to make up for their loss, desperately trying anything and attempting to pin it on the Chen Clan. Add in those who disliked the Chen Clan and people with opinions against them waving flags and shouting, and that was why this happened.
But he himself worked in the online sphere, and he knew that as long as these people had not bought from the Chen Clan, a single announcement from the Linhe County police would suffice. Their attempts to make up for their loss would be useless; they would not be able to pin it on the Chen Clan.
At a glance, these people were just the sort with a bit of money or running some small business, wanting to buy Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea to look impressive, then getting scammed due to greed or other reasons.
A real big boss, even if they were scammed like this, would absolutely not go online making a fuss over 300,000 and end up losing both face and dignity.
“Guo Yang, why do you think some people are so stupid?” Ming Di could not help asking the villager beside him.
The other man was quick-witted and reliable in handling matters, and Ming Di decided to keep him close in the future.
If not for this man last time, that wanted criminal would not have exposed flaws so quickly.
Because of that, the Linhe County police would be giving him a brocade banner.
Moreover, exposing such fellow practitioners for this kind of thing drew a lot of popularity. It might not be long before another such opportunity came along.
As for whether there would be retaliation, and whether he was afraid?
Of course he was, but fortune favored risk. Besides, he had already contacted his cousin, a retired special forces soldier who had gone into business for himself and was sitting on a large sum of money, not knowing what to do with it.
He would have him come protect him, and he would make him an internet celebrity. From time to time, he could also pose as a demonic cult expert. How great was that.
Besides, he had seen the Chen Family Head call him “brother.”
In the video he was a demonic cult rogue, and in reality, if something really happened, he could ask his brother for help. If those people dared retaliate, they were absolutely finished.
“Mr. Lin is right. If they were not stupid, would they be scammed?” Guo Yang replied with a cheerful smile.
They were fools, were they not?
Including the man before him, as well as those people from the Chen Clan.
“Once the Chen Clan and Linhe County release their announcements, I need to think about how to piggyback on that wave of traffic.” Ming Di also laughed. With this kind of popularity, how could he not seize the opportunity?
Just then, he suddenly saw the Chen Family Head approaching with several people. Though they were all in plain clothes, he recognized the man at the front. Was that not Captain Li from the criminal investigation unit?
They had met before during the arrest of the Joyful Union Sect demonic cultists.
What were they doing here?
They seemed to be walking toward him.
At his side, when Guo Yang saw this scene, he was clearly stunned. He naturally recognized Li Rui’s identity.
But he quickly calmed down.
There was no way they could have traced it to him. Even if they wanted to check his subordinates, they would first have to find the real owners of those used ID cards.
By that time, his people would no longer be within the country.
Even if they were found out, the people from Linhe County could not possibly go abroad just for them. He knew their system very well. Sometimes they were reluctant to act even across regions, let alone across borders.
On this point, he was very confident. They would not go abroad even for a person involving more than one million, let alone just a few people and barely over one million in total. In the end, it would definitely fizzle out.
After some time, they could repeat it, and the authorities would be helpless. As for getting caught, that would depend on who was smarter.
To struggle against gods was endless fun; to struggle against people was the same.
When Chen Han saw Ming Di, he was slightly stunned.
He had not expected that the magic-attracting bee would lead him to this guy.
Could it be that the person behind it all was Ming Di? That should not be right. With his current fans and live stream traffic, he could easily earn one million.
He definitely would not be doing this alone. There had to be a group, and he would not even get one million out of it. There was no need.
Li Rui also saw Ming Di and naturally remembered him. Why was the Chen Family Head seeking him out?
He did not think this man would have anything to do with the matter.
Chen Han’s gaze turned to the man beside Ming Di. At this moment, the magic-attracting bee was flying around him, while the man was waving his hand to drive it away.
Chen Han recognized him. He was from Shangyuan Village, which meant he was the real culprit.
So the fake ID cards and fake addresses, deliberately obscuring that the address was Shangyuan Village and the Chen Clan, were not out of ignorance, but to deliberately keep suspicion away from the people of Shangyuan Village.
“You are impressively calm,” Chen Han said as he looked at Guo Yang.
Guo Yang’s heart clearly lurched. Had he been discovered?
Impossible.
The procedure was wrong. They could not have come straight to him.
He forced himself to remain composed, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt his mind go blank and blurted out, “I hid things so well. How did you find out?”
The moment the words left his mouth, he was dumbfounded.
Ming Di was also dumbfounded. Just now he had been puzzled about why the Chen Family Head had brought Captain Li to find him. Was it because of this Guo Yang?
Frightened, he immediately stepped away from him.
When Guo Yang came to his senses, he instantly drew a dagger from behind him, intending to grab Ming Di as a hostage, only to find in shock that he had grabbed empty air. Ming Di was already far away from him.
“???” Guo Yang.
In the next instant, he felt a pair of large hands clamp down on his shoulders, slam him to the ground, and press both arms behind his back.
Li Rui had moved first. To be a captain of the criminal investigation unit, his skills were naturally very good.
After handcuffing Guo Yang, Li Rui excitedly handed him over to his subordinates. In such cases, the biggest fear was both the money and the suspects escaping overseas.
Now that the person was in custody, it was much easier. As for recovering the money, that was beyond his guarantee; other departments would be responsible.
At the same time, he was filled with disbelief. The Chen Family Head had actually known who did it?
If there were similar cases in the future, would they just need to ask the Chen Family Head for help?
Chu Ping and Chen Kai, who had followed along, were also full of disbelief. They knew how difficult such online fraud cases were to solve.
Now, without any evidence at all, the Chen Family Head had directly identified the culprit. Could he really divine the truth?
Otherwise, how could they explain this scene?
With mud on his face, Guo Yang looked at Chen Han in utter confusion. “Why? It should be impossible for you to know. I did not make a single mistake.”
Even Li Rui could not help looking at Chen Han in curiosity. Under normal circumstances, they would have immediately checked the stolen elderly ID card information from the courier company, then gone to question the elderly. If they got nothing, they would rely on checking telephone records or surveillance footage and so on.
If they managed to find clues through such checks, they would continue. If not…
After all, a week had already passed, and adding the time for investigations, it would be too late.
Had that very ostentatious elderly blind-date internet celebrity “Little Fairy so-and-so Na” not been defrauded of 200,000 and realized it in just half a day? Yet the money still had not been recovered.
She had been crying days ago that she could no longer afford her mortgage payments.
And now the Chen Family Head had directly skipped all the steps and gone straight to the target. How could that not be terrifying?
Chu Ping and Chen Kai were equally astonished.
Chen Han had no intention of letting word of the magic-attracting bee spread. After all, it had only three uses, and it was hard to say whether there would be some backlash after that.
Most importantly, if in the future Li Rui and the others showed up at his door for help every time something happened, that would be a hassle.
So he looked at Ming Di with a cheerful smile. “Why? You do not know who is at your side? That trafficking organization’s lead came from him, and that wanted criminal last time was also reported by him. What makes you think you would be the exception?”
Ming Di was instantly confused.
What was going on?
What did this have to do with him?
Guo Yang stared wide-eyed at Ming Di in disbelief. “Impossible. He is just an idiot who spends all day flattering you and piggybacking on your popularity.”
Hearing that, Ming Di was displeased. “You are the idiot. Your whole family are idiots!”
He also understood then. The Chen Family Head was trying to make him the scapegoat.
But he was not afraid of something like this. He already had too many lice on him. Most importantly, was this not the perfect chance to piggyback on popularity?
He had not known how to ride this wave before.
This time, he was going to ride it for all it was worth.
He instantly started recording with his mobile phone. He aimed it at Guo Yang. “Look. This time, this scumbag noob demonic cult rogue actually tried to infiltrate my side, not realizing all his actions had long been under my watch.”
“For such a stupid fellow practitioner, it is better to sell him out to the Chen Clan early, so he does not wreck my plans. And it can also make the Chen Family Head trust me a bit more.”
Truly, Guo Yang was completely thrown off by him. The words “scumbag,” “noob,” and “stupid” made his eyes bulge.
Impossible. Was it really this guy who reported him?
Fake. It had to be fake.
Li Rui instantly looked at Ming Di like he was a genius. Thinking carefully, last time they took down the trafficking organization, it had been this man who provided the lead.
It seemed that when Huang Xin had caught that wanted criminal and recovered billions, it had also been this man who provided the lead, and his goal seemed to be purely to film videos.
And now there was another?
Seeing how he started recording without hesitation, it was as if he had come prepared.
Holy crap, did this internet celebrity send someone to jail with every video he filmed?
He felt he should give this man a brocade banner as well.
Beside him, Chu Ping and Chen Kai saw this display and were stunned, their mouths agape. Could it be that this internet celebrity also had some ability beyond their understanding?
Ming Di then immediately said to Li Rui, “Captain Li, let me show you this guy’s place. I have been there. He was clearly nervous. There might be clues there.”
He was, of course, making that up.
This man had called him a scumbag. Since he had decided to take the blame, he naturally had to win back the ground. As for whether there was anything at the man’s place, he believed there would be.
The Chen Family Head had come storming in like this; the man had no time to react.
“Mr. Lin, please lead the way.” Li Rui snapped back to his senses.
Guo Yang was completely shocked and cursed angrily, “Get lost, damn it!”
Seeing this, Li Rui immediately knew there was definitely a problem.
Chen Han seized the chance while no one was paying attention to summon the magic-attracting bee back and store it in the warehouse.
Not long after, Li Rui came out in a hurry and said to Guo Yang, “We already used your phone to contact one of your accomplices. Do you think they can still escape?”
Guo Yang’s face turned extremely dark. “For what they did, the thing they fear most is having real information pulled out. Now it is over.”
Seeing Ming Di coming out behind them, he said with deep unwillingness, “When did you find out?”
“When you approached me.” Ming Di said scornfully, “Someone like you, thinking so highly of yourself, thinking you are so capable. You are stupid as hell.”
Finished, he felt very pleased.
Who would not be happy showing off?
Most importantly, it vented his anger and proved that the other guy was the real scumbag. No way he would let himself be the scumbag.
Chen Han knew what was going on and chuckled inwardly.
Li Rui did not forget the serious matter and immediately said to Chen Han, “Chen Family Head, once I get back I will have the bureau issue an announcement to prove the Chen Clan’s innocence.”
Beside him, Chu Ping hurriedly nodded when he heard this. “This must be released as soon as possible. Then the culture and tourism department can repost the announcement.”
“Mm,” Chen Kai nodded.
Li Rui quickly left with Guo Yang. The people of Shangyuan Village all came out to watch. Seeing Guo Yang arrested, they were very surprised, but no one said much. After all, his parents had long since passed away, he rarely stayed in the village, and he never took part in village affairs.
Before leaving, Li Rui also took away the victim Mi Shou. Because of him, the matter had blown up so much online. A public security case and an administrative penalty were unavoidable.
Most likely ten to fifteen days and a 5,000 fine.
Such things could not be tolerated. Otherwise, next time someone with malicious intent could pull the same stunt, which would be disgusting.
When Chen Han returned to the Chen Clan, Xiao Yu hurried over to him. “Senior brother, have you seen what is happening online? I checked. These items were definitely not sold by the Chen Clan. We have all the orders, invoices, and payment records for what we sold. These people are slandering us.”
Chen Han nodded. “It is fine. The county will issue an announcement soon. When it comes out, post our evidence and repost the county’s announcement.”
“Mm.” Xiao Yu nodded. She and Xiao Mi Jie both worked in online media and naturally knew that such slander was meaningless. Once the truth came out, it would only push the Chen Clan’s popularity to a higher level.
Soon after, Xiao Yu saw the county’s announcement. She reposted it at once and uploaded a Douyin video.
With the current level of attention, whether it was the criminal investigation unit’s announcement, the culture and tourism department’s announcement, or Xiao Yu’s, all would be seen by many people immediately.
With the evidence conclusive, even those who hated the Chen Clan and wanted to smear them could only lower their flags and retreat and embarrass themselves.
Just as Xiao Yu had predicted, this hostile traffic quickly turned into popularity for the Chen Clan. Only there was one thing she had not expected: a demonic cult rogue suddenly appeared, rode the wave of traffic, and shocked everyone.
Even she was soon left staring, dumbfounded.
